Hoisery department managers of Hammond dry goods stores will do well to be -our.; the lookout for Miss May Howard, the beautiful leading lady of "The Passing Show" company, which comes to the Towle opera house tonight. Miss Howard is said to possess a bad case of the stocking habit. Most of the divinities of the farce and musical comedy stage are noted for the elegance and superabundance of their hosiery, but Miss Howard is fairly at the top of the tree in this respect. Her collection is bewildering in its profusion and of unlimited variety. Some of the colors are carnation pink, sty-ri"-. b'ucV. -rii-h-d strawberry, peaehes '

She is said to be the proud posessor of more stockings than any other two actresses extant. Her girl friends say it is impossible for her to pass a dry goods store without her unsatiahle craving for stockings overpowering her. and she goes in through force of habit and invariable makes a purchase of more hosiery and she admits she is

In Isew York a few day's ago workmen began under Dr. deForest's direction the stringing of the phosphor-bronze wires froratheten of the 700 foot Metropolitan Life Tower for the wireless telephone station of the Radio Telephone Company. The tower is by far the highest .structure in the New World, being nearly 200 feet taller than the Washington Monument. It is expected that from this tower Dr. deForest will be able to communicate with the Eiffel Tower in Paris and with his wireless telephone stations at Chicago, Milwaukee, Michigan City, Detroit, Toledo, Cleveland, and other lake ports. In connection with the wireless telephone is being installed the new rapid sparkless telegraph capable of sending 40,000 words an hour. By throwing a switch the apparatus becomes at will either telephone or telegraph. A year ago Dr. deForest sent audible wireless telephone messages to a vessel off Marseilles from the Eiffel Tower station in Paris, a distance of nearly 600 miles. The previous year thev. ire-

In May of the present year Dr. deForest succeeded in establishing wireless phone connection between Chicago and Milwaukee, but as compared with the results he expects to obtain from the Metropolitan Tower in New York, these tests, as wonderful as they were, will be as child's plaj.

(Special to The Times.) Indiana Harbor, Aue. 20. Following

out the idea of beautifying the grounds around their depots, which hn l,n

taken up bv several nf ihn n .

in this vicinity of late, the C, I. & S. has begun work on a series of brick walks whose construction will occasion a number of triangular plots of grounds, which it is the railroad's intention to convert into grass plats and flower beds. Similar improvements have been made this year by the Indiana Harbor Belt line at Calumet and by the Pennsylvania line at the Harbor, and the Lake Shore road will work in conjunction with the C, I. & &. to make a beauty spot of the present unsightly surrounds of the two depots. The Lake Shore's part of the Improvement consists in the building of

a brick walk entirely around its depot. This work has not yet been begun, but will be in the near future. The C.. I. & S. has already commenced opera-1 tions and the walks it proposes to build Include along the depot platform, 300 feet in length and ten feet in width running along the east side of the depot, and a third walk, also 225 feet long and ten feet wide from the C, I. & S. depot to Regent street. In order to prevent the confirmed "cross lots" walkers from taking the short cut through the sand to town, the C, I. & S. will erect a woven wire fence along the east side of the platform. and around to Its southern end. thus

i".r it impossible to passengers alighting from going to trains, to make use of the cross lots path, without trespassing on the railroad right of way.
