WIFE FILLS EMPTY PULPIT.
While the Rv Charles M. Kroft, pastor of the Eighth Street Metohdist church of Bloomlngton, is away on his summer vacation his pulpit Is being filled by his wife, Mrs. Ella Kroft.

Lotz, of Muncie, wife of the recent candidate for attorney general on the democratic ticket, was granted a divorce in the circuit court here yesterday on a cross complaint filed late Saturday night. This decree comes as a culmination of a recent episode which occurred at the Braun hotel in Muncie, in which Mrs. Lotz attacked Mrs. Elizabeth Donovan, who herself was the client of Mrs. Lotz's husband in a divorce case on trial at that time. Mrs. Donovan was attacked on grounds of alleged Intimacy with Lotz. FROG LIVES IN BRICK AND MORTAR While workmen were tearing down the chimney of the Samuel W. Collins house.

NEW YORK PAPER SAYS IT WAS NO WONDER. It rods little comment does an editorial from the New York Times.
Tho-e who cpenly countenanced and others (among whom is the editor of a certain O-try pa peri who depreciated the carnival of vice and frowned on thoFe who sought to better conditions, may read it with a great deal of
interest. The- editorial reads: Jeering At Our "Model City."
What is the matter with Gary, Ind., the magic city of the plain. Was
this not the place where a near approach to a municipal Elysium was promised? Were not the sanitation and the housing and the public plant to be all that money could buy or brains provide? Did not the bestowal of the very name vouch for civic virtue? And yet the Governor of Indiana has had to threaten an invasion of Gary with the fencibles of the rustic militia, unless Mayor Thomas C. Knott, Chief of Police Martin and sundry other officials cease to ignore the lawless conditions there prevalent. When confronted with the requirement to close the fifty-six "blind tigers" at once, these magistrates made a point-biank proposition to the prosecutors to defer action until the "blind tigers" could dispose of their stock on hand. The deputy prosecutor avows that the present crusade will never be stopped. It is to be hoped that its continuance will not be necessary owing to the authorities winking openly at the lawbreakers. No wonder that the Chicago press speaks of the "reign of crime in the new Steel City" when the town authorities act as negotiators for the criminals against whom enforcement of the law is demanded. A drastic change is needed in the place, or its name should be changed to Vagary.

A woman can look awfally Important when Dhf Inn't and get nway with It, but that's where a man falls down every time.
THE DOOM OF THE SOCIAL EVIL. There is truth in the sentiment of an editorial in the Indianapolis Star which deals with the social evil. It says in part: "Is it possible that a day may come when this most poisonous and disruptive of civilized vices shall be banished from the American city? In this
day of moral and social progress, no one can set bounds to the triumphs that decency and honesty may yet attain. It has been the saving grace of our Anglo-Saxon civilization that honor in man and virtue in woman are two elements of character without which no ether accomplishment or charm can avail; and while this basic conviction of our people has been often and persistently outraged, yet there may be coming a time when, as decency is more and more demanded in public life, so a manly and womanly control of the passions may be imperiously demanded in private life, and rigorously enforced, so far as outward manifestations are concerned, by the law. Perhaps the idea that loose living can not be eliminated from municipal life Is a fallacy that some day will be clearly seen and no longer tolerated."

AFTER SOME delay the Indiana and Chicago traction people have filed
their bond of $10,000 with the Hammond Board of Public Works. It goes without saying now, that the interurban line will be built and that before very long. All apprehension is needless on that score. The Indiana and Chicago Traction company is not a fly-by-night concern. It has kept faith with the people of Lake County ever since it was incorporated. It will continue to do so. Incidentally the TIMES is in receipt of a letter from Mr. C. W. Hotchkiss in which Mr. W. P. Ijams, president of the company, thanks the paper for its attitude during the franchise negotiations. . AFTER TELLING the TIMES with much emphasis that he has resigned from the police board. Alderman Thomas Swanton is somewhat amazed to find in a Hammond paper that "he is pretty certain to remain on the board" and "that there is a possibility he will resign" "that he told Mayor Becker he might do so" and "that he Is not considering the matter as strongly as he did." Swanton yesterday declared again that he has resigned.
THIS IS MY 47TII BIRTHDAY. Burr Mcintosh.
Burr Mcintosh, actor, writer and lec turer, was born in Wellsville, Ohio, Au
gust 11, 1862, and was educated at the
Western University of Pennsylvania,
Iafayette college and Princeton univer
sity. After being engaged in newspa
per work In Philadelphia for several years he decided to go on the stage and in 1885 he made his debut at the Fourteenth street theater in New York. After one season on the stage he re
turned to newspaper work for two
years. In 188S he again took up act
lng. He was with Miss Kate Claxton
in "Called Back," and then joined the
company of the late Arthur Rehan, act
lng in the farces and light comedies
produced by Augustin Daly In New
York. In succeeding years Mr. Mcintosh supported E. H. Holland, E. S.
Willard and other noted players. One
of his greatest successes was "Taffy,"
in the first Trilby ' cast, which also
included such well known players as
Wilton Lackaye, Miss Virginia Harn
ed and Leo Dietrichstein. When war with Spain was declared Mr Mcintosh went to the front as a war correspondent. Subsequently he spent some time In the Philippines. In late years he has been engaged chiefly as a photographer, magazine editor and public lecturer.
IT WAS Ex-President Theodore Roosevelt that said that "publicity cures a multitude of evils." In this he differs greatly from a number of would-be prominent people in Gary who evidently think that toleration cures evils.
POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENTS. FOR MAYOR, Editor TIMES Yon are authorised to announce m; name as a candidate for the republican nomination for mayor of Hammond before the republican nominatingconvention, whose date la to be dtc-ided upon at a later date. ROBERT KIDNEY.
Oh, What a Hot Day! Do you recall, dear Ebenezcr, that winter day, some months ago? It was a large three-cornered freezer, Us whiskers full of ice and snow. You stood around, my friend, and shivered, and quoted some four hundred lines, from pagan prophets, and delivered some thoughts that swelled of sul
phur mines. You said, with lips that
froze together, that winter was a howl
inu- fake: vou onlv wanted summer
weather, so you could sit in peaoo anil bake. And now the heat waves fairly
sizzle; the fat old sun is on the job
you say that summer is a fizzle, and voti lust numn ur tears and sr'b. The
weather is Dame Nature's teaser; with it she often runs amuck; and we're
all like sweet Kbenezer we don't know when we are in luck. If ekies are blue,
we are complaining, and when it's hot we scream and scold; we raise a riot
when it's raining and mutiny when it
is cold. If all the seraphim together planned out a climate that would please, we'd roar about th beastly weather, and want a chance to roast or freeze. WALT MASON". (Copyright. 1909, by George Matthew Adams.)

Patronise the Parks.
Enjoy the parks. They are all over town. A person in this city need not
complain of the lack of trees, grass and
birds, for five or ten minutes' walk
will place him In the center of some
cool and shady park, where he can sit
cown and dream and breathe the pure air and watch the lovers exchanging
smiles, ometimes these little oases are
not given the care that they are en
titled to, but at their worst they turn the thoughts skyward and give the heart a rest. Take the children there. That is the place for the soul of a child. It plays with things divine. It catches impressions that float In the memory as softly as bright clouds over blue skies. And this is a great deal. Thinking of the Joy of a robin and the ecstacy of a minnow glinting in a pond is of more value to the life of a child than fating raspberry tarts or beating at mumbly-ppg. says an exchange.
This is just the time of year when most people find it hardest to bear
the burdens of life gracefully The advent of summer brings with it its natural quota of nerve-racking weather, and many individuals who are able to main
tain a very decent pretense at poise under ordinary conditions find themselves slipping into very disagreeable habits when the heat and the humidity combine to make things generally unpleasant. I know lots of persons who are affected just this way, and I suppose that you do, too.
The fact that this Is a very common experience, however, does not make
it any more rational. You can't change the weather by kicking about it any more than you can order the tides to turn around and go the other way before It Is the proper time for them to do so. What would you think of a man
who, going down to the ocean's edge with a broom In his hand, should en
deavor to brush the incoming tide back to the sea again? Would you not
say that he was a madman? a fit subject for an insane asylum? Yet that Is .the very thing that many of us do, not only during the summer, but at other periods In the year. Day in and day out we are beset by conditions that are absolutely unavoidable. Try hard as we may we cannot change them. Like the weather, they go on getting worse, until the time comes when It is perfectly natural that they should get better. Then they change without the slightest effort on our part. We know that this Is the thing that is bound to happen. We know that all the kicking and complaining In the world will not reduce the temperature a fractional part of one degree. Yet we go on protesting at the excessive heat In summer, and the cold In winter, just as if our individual feelings -would make a difference in the matter. As a matter of fact, if there is any time In the year when we should make a most determined effort to maintain the condition that we term "poise" it is during the summer months, for our complaints about the elements do not make it any easier to bear the conditions under which Nature determined that, we must live. On the contrary, the loss of nerve force that we waste in such vain protests against things that can't be helped actually make them harder to bear. The man who suffers the most from any unpleasant experience Is the man who is always thinking and talking about It. If you want to keep reasonably cool during the months of mid-summer don't keep your mind fixed upon your physical discomforts. Try to take things as they come. Strip off clothing so far as the laws of decency will allow. Eat wisely; sleep wisely, and, above all, drink wisely. Then keep as quiet as circumstances may permit. In all probability this will require the exertion of considerable will force, especially In the beginning; but the habit of taking things as they come is one that is well worth acquiring. In the first place, such a habit, if practised during the summer, will keep you from getting nervous. If you get nervous the next step will be impatience. You will begin to go about with a chip on your shoulder, and the man who goes out in search of trouble seldom Is compelled to look for it very long or very diligently. You will also notice if you are good at self -observation that the more nervous and irritable you become, the harder you will find it to bear the depressing effect of the heat. The heat In itself Is sufficiently enervating, and
the person who gets to work deliberately to make himself feel any worse Is several kinds of a fool. Try the experiment In your own case this summer. If you have been In the habit of getting irritable, impatient, or otherwise allowing yourself to waste your nerve force duroing the warmer months, turn over a new leaf, and try to maintain a certain degree of self-control. If you are tempted to be nervous if you feel the desire to speak impatiently if you find yourself becoming irritable over little things Just press your teeth together and put a stop to it. You will be surprised to see how much better it will make you feel and how much easier it will be for you to bear the most oppressive weather. Then stop talking about the heat stop thinking about it, too and you will find that the discomforts of the summer are not so unbearable after all. It Is very simple advice, and the experiment is one that it is ea?y to try. Suppose you try it!

Footwear In Summer. Summer shoes and stockings should be of the lightest weight. Brown shoes are always cooler than black, being more porous, and white canvas shoes are delightful for summer wear. BLACK STOCKINGS SHOULD BE TABOOED IN IIOT WEATHER. The dye is bad for the feet, sometimes really injurious. White stockings, of course, are the best of all, but tan or gray may be worn to grea advantage.

IN POLITICS
The new senatorial primary law in Maryland is not received with favor. The Republican senators regard the
measure as unconstitutional and they j
have practically decided to Ignore the law in their selection of a candidate to be voted for next January, when the general assembly will meet to i hoose a successor to Senator Raynor. Governor Frank W. Benson of Oregon Is not especially fond of his office a chief executive and will not be a candidate for renomination. He desires to return to the office of Secretary of State, which he filled prior to his elevation to the gubernatorial chair to succeed Governor Chamberlain, who was elected to the United States senate. Tammany Hall is on the anxious seat these davs in view of he near approach of the New York city primaries and the election of a mayor and other city officials The famous political organization not onlv has a hard fight on hand in th- municipal election but also has
to contend with several threatening revolts in its own ranks. At the primaries to be held next month, a number of the best known leaders in Tammany will have hard fiphts to retain their leadership against the Democratic antiTammany organization. A country-wide movmnt to organ
