CASTLEMAN'S CARTE BLANCHE. It is hardly possible that the people of Gary will stand for Alderman

GaEtlenian's chimerical scheme to establish a million dollar lake front park

parts of the city.

vehicle in order to see whether or not ber of sidetracks at this point which

obstruct the view. The Erie and Chesapeake & Ohio railroads do not main

tain watchmen except at one of these crossings and there are no gates. It seems a pity that in view of the fact that it wouli be such an easy matter to avoid these crossing for all south-bound traffic that something is not done by the city and county authorities to open up the little strips of road that would eliminate most of the danger. It shows a woeful lack of interest in needs of the' city in the case of the board of public works and the same lack of interest in the needs of the country districts in the vicinity of Hammond in the case of the county commissioners and the railroads are getting fresh victims right along. The whole of Lake county demands that death crossings be eliminated.

HERE'S AN OUTRAGE. Our sympathies go out impulsively to Mr. "Sunny" Sheets, the well known citizen of Indiana Harbor, and to numerous other persons who attended this recent gentlemanly encounter between Mr. Clabby and Mr. Knockout Brown at Hammond, Ind. Mr. Sheets-, who we trust is of the required hotel length of 7 feet 4 inches, or whatever it is, was divorced from an Imposing 5 carat headlight which from a seemingly secure place in his shirt bosom had illuminated his path in life. Dips worked so energetically at this gathering of gentlemen that the Hammond police were able to pick up twenty empty pocketbooks which had been lifted off prominent but inoffensive citizens of Chicago and adjacent parts. These little exhibitions of science by professors of the manly art near Chicago have been given the reputation of decorous, innocent aiausement for the young and virtuous. We are 'sure that Mr. "Sunny" Sheets would not have attended if he had known low persons of disreputable habits were to be present. We are safe in venturing the same opinion regarding the other gentlemen. If the citizens may not enjoy these little diversions without eucn lamentable encounters with the lower classes things indeed have come to a pretty pass. If the affair had been a prize fight we might have understood the presence of the undesirable, but it is puzzling to find them flocking to a boxing exhibition. This is serious business. Are our prominent sports, gamblers, saloonkeepers, card sharps, and bon vivants to have no protection in their amusements? Chicago Tribune.

The Evening Chit-Chat By RUTH CAMERON

In answer to my appeal for suggestions as to ways in which a college girl vacation and yet not undermine her health, several Interesting ideas have been seftt in. One occupation suggested Is that of companion to blind people. By applying at Institutions for the blind, positions of this sort may sometimes be obtained. Another possibility is that the college girl might get an opportunity to ciare for and live in a house where people are away for the summer. The subscribers who sent in this suggestion says she knows a mother and daughter who always find this work to do through their church affiliations. Another woman says: "Just this morning I received a communication from a large publishing house to act as their traveling agent at $15 a week and expenses, but as I am a mother and a housewife, my duties are at home. Now it seemed to me that to an energetic college girl this travel would give the needed rest, and also be remunerative. I shall probably take up the work at hme on a smaller scale, as it Is a work my heart is in, but I would be glad to put some one in the way of obtaining this place, as I suppose there are many Just such chances." For a college girl who does not have to earn much money, but who cannot exactly afford to lay out money in going away for the vacationthe following suggestion might be of use. I say "for a girl who does not need to earn much Anoney" because I suppose a good part of her earnings Brazil who expect soon to be the possessors of several million dollars The fourteen are heirs of the Baker estate, of Philadelphia. More than one hundred years ago the three Baker brothers, of that city, owned a large tract of land, part of which was then in the Quaker City, which was comparatively a small place at that time The brothers desired to participate In the war of 1812, and leased their land for ninety-nine years. After the wur they settled in different parts of the country. A few years ago the lease expired, and since that time the heirs

f would be eaten up by fares. "I will tell you what I learned at Yellowstone Park two years ago this summer. The help that the government hires Is nearly all college help. The matron of one of the camps was a teacher from a Pennsylvania college, and she brought two of the college girls with her. They made the beds and took care of the tents were there at 11 and had the rest of the day to go over the interesting parts of the camp. They were allowed to transfer from ope camp to another. In this way they visited all the points of interest. The lady help is paid from $30 a month and board up. For particulars write Wylle Camp, Gardner, Yellowstone Park." "Mother's Helper" Is another position which a reader thinks college girls might fill during the summer to their own and other people's profit. "It isn't easy for many of us mothers to get good servants In fact, it Isn't always easy to get any. Now, I believe that a girl who would be willing to do anything that came to hand (I will except the weekly washing and ironing. That would be asking too much), and whose pride would not prevent her from waiting on table when necessary, etc. will have no trouble in finding a good home for the summer, and will be able to go back to her studies much improved in health and pocketbook. "Of course, there are many college girls whose pride would not let them do this but they make me think of the small boy who climbs a tree and then calmly yells, 'help, help'." RUTH CAMERON. of the state have been struggling to get possession of the property, which is now in the heart of Philadelphia, and Is valued at $500,000,000. One ot the structures on this land is the huge Wanamaker block. The heirs sent attorneys to Philadelphia, and they have just returned with the Information that the estate Is soon to be divided. No less than five millions of this money will come to heirs lh Brasil. Among them are W. S. Carpenter, one candidate for congress from the Brazil district, and W. E. Carpenter, who built up the largest Sunday school In the world in Brazil.

It is not Intended for drenay occasions, but. as its nam tells us, for walking and shopping and kindred uses. Th material selected for thl k;rt hould be of good quality. If a woollen, something like a very fine serge or cheviot, or a homespun or loosely woven basket cloth would b nice. Among wash fabrics linen is best, but good gingham and pongee will also answer. The main car must be to keep the back and front very fla and to have no wavlness anywhere In the skirt. This is easy when one has a good pattern. Tha rest i only care.
