THE CITY
A Nice Party. C. O. Holmes, member of the school board, last night entertained about thirty-five teachers now employed In the public schools In Gary, the members of the school board and the members of the town board. A total of over forty were present, and a delightful time was reported. One of the main subjects of the gathering was to get the city officials better acquainted with the school teachers, and have the teachers get better acquainted with each other. The evening was spent in games and music

Will Start Suits. Today the suits of the city of Gary against property holders along South Broadway, who have not paid in their assessments, or who have not signed the assessment role, which makes It unnecessary to pay cash, will be started In the superior court. These will be the first of over 100 casea which have been filed in the superior court on the South Broadway improvement that are to be tried. Attorney L. I Bomberger will appear against the property ownerB.
Work Going OnStone and gravel arrived yesterday for the pavement of Bormann boulevard, in Tolleston, and the work is progressing rapidly. Much of the grading has been completed on the street, and the actual paving is now in progress. When ttiis street is completed it will be the first direct route from Gary to Hammond and will be one of the longest streets In the state. At the present time it is only planned to complete It as far as Clark road.
I There's many a slip, twlxt the plan i and the vacation trip. j
Judge Gary is to visit the city next Thursday. Look pleasant. The opening gun In the democratic campaign Is scheduled to be touched oft In the Schlitz building tomorrow night at 8 o'clock.
It seems that a certain-theater down In the Patch Is doing considerable
burlesquing. When the mall carrier service is instituted some Gary people will have to invent a few new ideas to take them to the postofflce. When a man gets to itching for an office he should be given a place on the ticket and then scratched. There Is no use blaming May for not being June. What does It matter any way. It can't hurt the sweet peas.
We know that Gary has good baseball teams, but they must do -better and wtn. The Gary saloonkeepers are not very much disappointed. They'dldn't expect very much any way. The Times doesn't pay much attention to flea stories, but it feels that Gary is entitled to such news as the saloon remonstrance decision and the democratic mass meetings, as well as a host of other good things. Gary's new cemetery may be an awful nice place, but some how or other we can't get very much interested in It. The "lid" has been taken off the navigation on Lake Michigan.
With Gary's Colored Folk
Brick Is Arriving. Another large consignment of brick arrived in Gary this morning for the Gary & Interurban. The company has still some sixteen blocks of paving to complete, having in the past had various reasons for not doing the work, among other excuses that they could not secure the desired brick. Now, however, there is nothing to interfere with the completion of the work at once.
Selling Much Land. T. W. Englehardt, president of the South Broadway Land company, is selling land by the block these days, having only yesterday disposed of another block in the Jackson Park addition. Thirty-nine lots changed hands, all being situated in block one of the subdivision. Attorney Halligan, a wealthy Iowa banker and cattleman, of Mocreland was the purchaser, having paid $8,000 for the property. The property Is situated near the Ridge road.
Open Offices. Messrs. O. A. Canfield of Chicago and
F. L Talcott of Valparaiso, Ind., -have formed a partnership, and have opened offices in the Ogden building, and are prepared to take estimates on any
thing In the line of electric engineer ing and contracting.
Work Progresses. Work is progressing nicely on put
ting in the new Broadway entrance to
the Gary building. A big opening has
been cufn the concrete floor and the
heavy steol girders have been taken
out. The work will be finished by next
week.

A PLAY WITH A MORAL. If there be any one who inclines to the belief that they should draw their skirts aside pharisaically from folk of the footlights and the sawdust ring, they should forthwith hie themselves to the Towle opera house on Sunday, May 16, and gather a few hints from Frederic Thompson's mammoth production "Polly of the Circus." "Polly of the Circus" is a remarkable study. New York found her interesting, Chicago has stamped its approval as to the greatest play ever given there. There Is no high sounding dissertations on love, marriage and divorce; no acute analysis of emotions. Just a simple homely study of an ignorant girl born to the garish life of the circus, thrown by accident Into the home of the young village clergyman, awakening to love, -to knowledge, to hope and to God.
