Nothing was too good for them and they were spending money right and left, putting 'pennies into gum and peanut machines and were having a big time. Officer Trost suspected the boys when he saw them spending the money so freely. They were real live sports for they bought two ten-cent sail boats for a couple of other Hammond lads. Their parents were notified, who took them back to East Chicago last night. COLLIDES WITH TRAItlMyiES Chicago Motorcyclist Fatally Hurt While Speeding in Indiana. Valparaiso. Ind., June 2S. N.

For the first time in the history of i Gary, grand opera was offered to the! puuuc iasi nigni, ana tnat it was appreciated by the discriminating persons who attended this initial essay Inuo the realm of art, wa3 attested by the hearty applause vouchsafed to principals and to Mr. Thaviu, the conductor. It is some little undertaking to attempt grand opera with a band and in a summer park. It Is another greater undertaking to bring together a quartet of singers, who are all unused to each other, and get good results, but Mr. Thaviu had the good fortune to accomplish all this and to him is due much credit for a really meritorious performance and a daring inno--ation. The opera is "Cavalleria Rusticana," by Pietro Mascagni. it is not an easy opera by any manner of means. It Is of the modem Italian school, which has been touched and tinged with the Wagnerian style and method. The roles are all written in high key and the range makes demands on every prin cipal that are not easy to fulfill. In this case the singers were in good voice and sang the score with enthusiasm and with a due appreciation of the story as well as of the music. This was the first time the singers have been brought together for the opera. and that there were a few evidences of nervousness was to be expected, but there were no serious interruptions. and from overture to final curtain the opera was thoroughly enjoyable. The role of Santuzza was sung by first came to America, and has been with him every season since . J. Donald Boucher, the tenor, studied at the Northwestern Musical Conservatory in Minneapolis and later was a pupil of the late Mareschalchi an dalso of Allessandro Archengell. Indianapolis, Ind.. June 28. More di vorces were granted last year in In dlana than In any other year on rec ord. There were 4,632 divorces in 1910. During the year there were 30.677 mar riage licenses issued, so that there was one divorce for every six marriage licenses. Many of the licenses Issued were never used, and this may bring the ratio of divorces to marriages up to a higher figure, but there is no way of telling how many marriage licenses were not used. Of the divorces granted, the wives had much the better of the argument collectively. Legal separations were granted to women In 8,475 cases, while men asked freedom In only 1.157 cases, according to the figures. The state statistician's office has compared the number of divorces granted and marriage licenses issued with those of 1309. 1908, 1907 and 1906. The divorces granted in 1909 were almost 200 less than those granted last year. They reached 4,494, with the wives winning the cases in 3.196 instances and the husbands In 1.025 cases. The total number- of marriage licenses granted in 1909 was 28,525. For 1908 the total number of divorces granted was 4,253. The wives won in 3.186 cases and the husbands In 1,117. The total number of marriage licenses issued amounted to 26,960 in 1908. In 1907 the figures for both were lower. Wives obtained decrees in 2,967 cases and the husbands In 1,013, making the total number of divorr-es granted during the year 3,980. The marriage licenses were, much more numerous than In the preceding year. In 1906 the total number of divorces granted was only 3,669, of which 2,795 were granted to women and 874 to men. The causes of divorce have been tabulated for 1910 from all ot the counties by the state statistician's office and they follow, specifying the party to whom the divorce was granted: Abandonment (wife) 754 cases. Abandonment (husband) 396 cases. Adultery (wife) 164 cases. Adultery (husband) 223 cases. Criminal conviction (wife) 45 cases. Criminal . conviction (husband) 6 cajies. Cruel treatment (wife) 1.33 8 cases. Cruel treatment (husband) 432 cases. Drunkenness (wife) 387 cases. Drunkenness (husband) 36 cases. Failure to provide (wife) 608 cases. Failure to provide (husband) none. Other causes (wife) 179 cases. Other causes (husband) 91 cases. Marlon county led in the number of di vorces granted with 598 to wives ana 0 to husbands. Vigo came next with 17 220 divorces. Then came Vanderburg with 220, Allen with 171. St. Joseph with 170, Delaware with 147, Grant with 122. and Cass with 115. Ohio county won the blue ribbon for harboring the least domestic infelicity. Only one divorce was granted there I during the year. Union county was a close second with only four divorces. The lone Ohio county divorce was granted to a wife because of a drunken husband. An amusing feature of the cure. nnri1in to the belief of the aa etqlisttnian'a cffinc In the! lack of divorces to husba-nds because their wives failed to provide for them. Not a case of such description was registered in any of the reports sent In by county officials. Tou will say that a La Vendor cigar cannot be beat, if you try one.
