-Harbor and lt must be admitted that the railroad is not altogether to blame . for the delay in this Improvement for the reason that it has been impossible
to get the required franchises.
Whether or not there has been unnecessary delay in the building of the
western extensions is a matter of speculation. The road is said to be held
. up by the railroads which are fighting grade crossings. That may account
for some of the delay.
Before the Hammond, Whiting and East Chicago Railway company seeks
; any more franchises In this locality it should show its good faith by buying
new rolling stock and giving its patrons more frequent service.
While comparisons are odious the fact can not be Ignored that the Gary and Interurban Railway company is giving the people of Gary far better service than an pother city In the region is getting. Broadway has 10-minute
service and extensions have been built to South Broadway, Hammond and .Ambridge. The ingratitude of the city administration of Gary, which has
steadfastly opposed the further plans of this company to improve the service
, by making necessary extensions is characteristic of the Knotts adminis
tration. If Gary with its 17,000 inhabitants can have 10-mlnute service on
its principal thoroughfare, it is impossible to convince the people of Ham
mond, East Chicago and WTiiting that they ought not to have something bet
ter than 20-mlnute service In a territory that contains 50,000 inhabitants.
The people of this locality have put up with poor service and mislaid
promises long enough. There is plenty of money available for the use of cor
porations now, and if the Hammond, Whiting and East Chicago line does not
do some tangible things for the improvement of the service in the near fu

THIS IS MY 04TH BIRTHDAY" Katherine A. Tlngley. Mrs. Katherine A. Tlngley, leader of
the Theosophlsts and founder of the colony at Point Loma, California, was born in Newburyport, Mass., July 6,
847. After attending the public schools
n her native place she completed her
education In & convent in Quebec. On
leaving the convent she took up her residence with her father In New York. Here she Investigated Spiritualism, with the result that she openly opposed physical manifestation seances. Her
nvestlgatlons. however, led to her be
coming a strong Theosophlst. In New-
York she spent much of her time In missionary work among the poor. Some
fifteen years ago, in company with
other prominent members of the
Theosophlcal Society, Mrs. Tlngley con
ducted a world-wide tour In the interest
of the Theosophlcal movement. Since
the death of the late W. Q. Judge she has been the acknowledged leader of
he society not only in America but in
the world at large.

These spectacles, which he has Just bought, are his flrBt. There's a great deal of discontent at the church because Rockefeller has missed Sunday school three Sundays in succession.

Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE.
ALEXANDER THE LITTLE.
An American publisher speaks of
Alexander the Great as "history's
most successful young man."
No! In the name of decent yonng
manhood and right ideas, no!
What Is greatness? What is suc
cess?
Greatness Is goodness successfully
employed. Success Is the realization
of noble ideals.
Well, then, how can It be said that
a wholesale highwayman, a despoiler, a butcher of men. Is either great or
successful? And is lt not a little less
than criminal to bold up Alexander of
Macedon as an examplar for young
men?
When he came to the throne he was
under suspicion of having put bis fa
ther. Philip, to death.
Great?
This egregious tyrant mnrdered with
bis own handsssome of his most faith ful aids. In a drunken spree he kill
ed his most Intimate friend and shed
crocodile tears over the body.
Successful?
He was successful in crushing the people of all Greece, successful in destroying many gated Thebes in a fit of rage and selling the inhabitants of the
city as slaves; successful in destroy
ing another city, the most beautiful in
the world Persepolis because a lewd
woman who joined him In a drunken
revel asked him to do it. Great and successful?
He overran Persia and desolated It. And when he was only thirty-two
years of age he died In a fit of de
lirium tremens.
Let us quit calling Mm great. Ia all which should become a man he
was deplorably small. Greatness? Success?
Greatness is of the quality that cre
ates, discovers, succors, uplifts. Sue cess comes in the doing of things real
ly worth while. Greatness and suc
cess real greatness and success are impossible without goodness. One
may do big things without becoming
either great or successful.
Put Alexander alongside Columbus,
Pasteur, Howard. Lincoln. How he
shrinks by comparison!
Jesus of Nazareth lived in a like dark era with Alexander and was but
one year older at his death. Contrast them!
In the years before Christ Alexan
der might have been called great, but
not since men began to write A. D.

Editor Times:
Recently a petition for the paving
of . Ash street from 150th street to Huehn avenue was started and was defeated by a large majority, then petition was taken from 150th street
to Hoffman And was again defeated.
Then the board of public works allowed them (there are only five on the
street who want the improvement) to
take a petition for one block, something that has never been done in Hammond before. Now what we would like to know Is why the board
of public works Is so anxious to put in
this one block that they even resort
to telling untruths In order to win, by
telling the residents not to file a reonstrance until the street is started, when they know we have only tei
days after the petition Is filed to re-
omnstrate. Is there some member of
the board who holds large Interests In the Ahlborn Construction Co.? And is that company so poor that it has to retort to such methods to get contracts?

WORKMAN DIES IX SEWER. Alois Medvescek, 30 years old a Hun

new sanitary sewer for the Julius Keller Construction Company of Indian

Dr. Gustave Revelyn, head nurse at
the Hord Sanitarium, also will die because of a heroic attempt he made to save the Hungarian. He went into the
manhole and fell unconscious across the body of the Hungarian. CITY WELU ARE NEARLY DRY. A serious water famine is confronting Fairtnount, due to the almost unbroken drouth which has prevailed in this section during the entire spring. Yesterday morning, when lt was announced that the wells furnishing tha municipal water works were all but dry, the Council ordered all street and lawn sprHigling stopped, while the pumps were ordered stopped for two hours each morning and evening and four hours during the night.

Custer's yari at Rich Valley near Wabash early yesterday. The chlid had been wrapped In a woman's waist and burled. It is believed that the body had been In the ground but a few days. Tugging at the dress, the dog pulled the body to the top of the ground, where It was found by Custer, who says he had not

FRIIT CROP IS PROFITABLE. The fruit crop of northern Indiana and southern Michigan la the largest In the last ten years. During the last fifteen days the Southern Indiana raitway between South Bend and St. Joseph has been carrying 1,500 crates of cherries and small berries dally, and this is but a small part of the crop. The outlook for peaches and grapes Is
excellent, and the chances are that thlrf
fruit will become a drug on the market before the harvest is completed. Throughout the whole fruit belt it is impossible to gather in all the fruit because of a shortage of pickers. FALLS INTO A VAT OF LYE. Emil Sunwalt an employe at the Pennsylvania shops, at Logansport, loat his footing and plunged into a vat halffilled with boiling lye yesterday afternoon.

Never Omit Salt
One quart of flour requires one quart of flour for cup cakes and for
every quart of flour use.t allow
of a level teaspoon of salt; never omit the salt in any cake, put it In
whether the recipe calls for it or not, it makes the cake fine grained and keeps lt moist, Th.s same quart of flour will usually require four teaspoons of baking powder, which should be of the very best quality, cream of tartar and soda may be used if you have the appliances for exact measuring, but the novice will succeed better rrith baking powder. A spoonful of anything means that the material should lie as much above the edge of the spoon as the bowl sinks below lt. A heaping epoon mcz.ns that the material should be twice as high above the edge of the spo?n as the bowl Is below. A level sioon full holds just
sixty drops of liquid. One-rhalf of

Must Learn Measurements. These measurements and propor ilons are like the multiplication table. They must be learned before you can use a recipe. Children often
say they would like arithmetic if they did not have to count, and many cooks would enjoy their work
ir they am not have to measure. Before beginning to mix the caka have everything needed at hand and In such condition that they can b quickly put together. BIft the flour before measuring, and sift again with the baking powder and other dry Ingredients. Cream the butter and the sugar and set aside before beating the eggs. If the butter it very cold heat the mixing bowl with hot water and dry, but do not heat the butter and sugar. Have the pans ready, lining them with, oiled paper or rubbing them with a bit of suet. Break the eggs one by one and separate them as desired. Let the whites stand until the cake Is nearly mixed before beating them, but beat the yolks as soon as the butter and sugar are creamed. Rules as to Eggs. i When no directions to the con
trary are given, add the eggs to the creamed butter and sugar, then the milk or water and the flavoring, then the sifted flour containing the baking powder, and then the fruit or nuts, I like a hard wooden bowl for mixing cakes in, as it does not chip as the porcelain ones do, nor crack and break like the crockery ware. A slotted spoon is best for mixing and whipping, while a heavy wooden spoon ia best for creaming. There are many new inventions in our stores for bakers that cost but little and add much pleasure to one's work. It is not economy, but penurlousness to do without these helps, so look at them the next time you go shopping; a flour sifter that you can hold and work with one hand, leaving the olber f-?e for the mixing, is just one t!t will please you.
