A DOCTOR WITH A WARPED MIND. Dr. Charles E. Bruce is the name of a person who lives in New York and for some reason or other wears masculine attire. The proper garb for the doctor though he is a male would be petticoats and corsets. Fifty athletic young women who teach gymnastics in the public school playgrounds wear bloomers at their work, and like them. Dr. Charles E. Bruce, a member of the board of education, saw the garments In action for. the first time the other day, and declared himself amazed and shocked. He is now fighting hard to modify or eliminate the bloomer altogether as a playground adjunct. Poor Dr. Bruce thinks the bloomer 13 immodest. Poor narrow-minded prudish soul ! We would hate to look into the narrow corners of the doctor's
little mind. His view of the exigencies of life must be very warped and Lota of boyB want to horry np impure.

HAMMOND'S NEXT MAYOR.
There is far more speculation and worry rife among the Hammond democrats over the question as to who will be the republican candidate for mayor than there is among the republicans. This is undoubtedly due to the fact that the democrats are acting on the defensive, rather than on the offen
sive. Let the Beckercrats await the republican ultimatum with patience. There will be a republican candidate for mayor of Hammond whose name the democrats will laugh, nor will it be the name of a man at whom the voters the democrats wll laugh, nor will it be the name of a man at whom the voters will look askance. It will not be the name of a man who is half-democrat and half-republican. It will be the name of a candidate of whom the republican party is not ashamed. IT WILL BE THE NAME OF A MAN WHO WILL BE THE NEXT MAYOR OF HAMMOND.

in connection with the fair just closed, is not confined to the members of kidnaped Charlie Ross; I learn, with
the society. The regret Is general throughout the community, for there are eomethlng like alarm, that I designed few who will not acknowledge that the event was worthy of financial sue- the Gunness farm, and also, with excess. The management may have some mistakes. Possibly it may have ceBslve grief, that Black Hand cohorts
been a mistake that the general admission fee was raised, but the attractions were unusually expensive and the society sought this means of bringing up the gate receipts. So far as the patrons getting the full value of their money was concerned, this was justified, but after all it may have been that this was responsible in a measure for keeping the crowds away. To a still greater extent however, was the unseasonable weather responsible. The society was especially unfortunate in this respect. At this season of the year, it was reasonable to expect propitious weather, but since the fair opened, the temperature has been far from conducive to the drawing of a big crowd. The management of the county fair worked hard to make their undertaking worthy of the generous support of the public, and that it did not receive such support, is greatly to be deplored.
THE GROWTH OF CHRISTIAN SCIENCE.
Lake County seems to offer a good field for Christian Science. Just a few days ago the organization in Gary decided upon a new location for their church, having determined to enlarge their quarters and establish a per
manent reading room.
Not long since, the members of the cult in Hammond were obliged to
take new quarters four times as large as those occupied by them when they
started here a couple of years ago.
This speaks well for Lake County. Scientists are a desirable sect
wherever located. Thoy are made up largely of the thinking, intelligent element, and conduct their work in a modest, unostentatious manner. They
win their prosilytes, not by sensational revivals, in which impassioned ut
terances are the main-spring, but by a calm exploitation of logic. There ia no fuss or feathers about the Christian scientists. Yet while they are thus pursuing the even tenor of their way, they are perhaps most opposed by orthodox church goers and preachers, than any other religious sect. This may or may not be because the scientists are making perceptible inroads into the ranks of orthodoxy, taking away from them some of their best thinkers, and most desirable members. While the TIMES is not committed to Christian Science, it believes in living and lettng live, and would extend the welcoming hand to any creed which seems to possess enough of truth, and virtue, to make it a power for good In the community.

BROTHER SMITH SHOULDN'T WORRY. Brother Smith of the Habort Gazette is worrying about the "merry widow." At first blush this might sound like a scandal or a reform. But it is neither. It is merely an outraged sense of the eternal fitness of things as regards feminine millinery, "which has found its way into print. We used
to feel the same way, but what's the use? Which leads us to believe that Brother Smith may live down the feeling, too. If the ladles prefer an in
verted chopping bowl, milk pail, peach bashket, dishpan, or half mile speeding track to a sun-bonnet of the Maud Muller type, as head-gear, we have made up our mind to let them have it. They will anyhow. As to "Mairi"
whom Brother Smith quotes as authority for the belief that the Merry Widow
chapeau is about to bid us adieu, we have learned to be leary of prognostica
tions made by ladies who spell their names that way. They are so apt to
