The sad lapse of a well known Indiana minister from the straight and narrow path while attending a famous conference will doubtless bring more unjust condemnation from unthinking people against the clergy in general. Perhaps the strongest ground for this is due to statements made by the Indiscreet preacher himself who to his brethren said: "Let him who is without sin among you cast the first stone." The implication in this statement to his fel-low-clergymea is most shocking for people cannot be blamed in thinking of this particular offending minister's personal sin in connection with his warning to his fellows. However it is not for the world to pas3 Judgment on this unfortunate man. His own conscience will probably torture him enough. The real pressing need of sympathy and commiseration is for the wife and children of the guilty preacher. SUCCESS A GRADUAL PROCESS. That a man is EDUCATED who, without regard to college walls or courses of study, has providently stored away a little learning every day, until s at length, after many years, the total has become a source of gratification and value. That man Is GOOD who, day after day, has followed in the footsteps of the Perfect Eample, until the desire for what is pure and good has become natural to him. That man can count most friends who has made them one b; one in the course of passing years And he has health who has not wasted, erery day, a little of the natural s'.ength the Creator gave tym at birth. How many rich men today go their starts by sudden streaks of luck? Not many. As for the rest, their beginnings were so humble as not to be perceptible save to the trained eyes of those who know the symptoms of acffflnmr whin thpv aa thorn The. most marked symptoms of economy are the cutting of the wisdom teeth and a sort of synadctylism that closes up forever the cracka between the fingers. The' next time you hear some sallow exhausted, debilitated fellow who has thrown away all the opportunities of his life, complain about the UNKINDNESS OF PROVIDENCE, and specu late upon somebody else's STREAK OF LUCK, take him back a few- years in memory, and ask him what he did with that FIRST V he earned; inquire whether his EXPENSES Increased every time he got an increase in salary, and Interrogate him sharply on the price of stylish trousers and livery hire in Year of Our Lord 1890. That may give you both a clew to the situation. . " A MAN'S OWN RESOLUTION has more to do with his store of money or of f brains than fools imagine. And good luck is simply another name tor industry and common sense.

WHAT WOULD HAPPEN? Yesterday's dispatches brough the news that the Btork Is to visit Mrs.

"Jack" Geraghty and that she making baby clothes. If you have paid any attention at all to the newspapers you will Tecall that the missus Is the young lady who as Julia French, a Newport heiress, eloped with father's chauffeur. At once a family feud arose. Predicting the future movements of the stork can be done only in con nection with royalty and the aris tocracy. Just imagine what would happen in this county if this or any other newspaper printed that the stork would soon visit Mrs. So-and-so of. South Hohman street, or Mrs. What-you-call-her of Jackson street, or Mrs. Bridgewhist of Beacon street. MILLER BEACH. One of the most charming spots in Lake county is at Miller beach. This is one bit of the lake frontage in the county that isn't occupied by a mUl or railway yard. Besides possessing a natural beach unexcelled for bathing, a nearby river of fine scenic possibilities and a stream that offers great delights ia the way of boating and fishing; there Stand between Iake Michigan and the Grand Calumet the moving dunes, the like of which are not to be seen in America. Miller beach is a beauty spot that is not appreciated like it should be A place like this on the seashore would be the mecca of thousands on a summer day. It ought to be so here. So, Sunday or, In fact ap.v week-day, take the family, get on a South Shore car, and spend the day here. Bring your lunch-basket, your fishing-poles, bathing suits, and some spades for the children to play in the sand. You will enjoy it. VULGARITY. Vulgarity has been called th3 sewerage of the soul. It is not that. for it generates all that it throw off, and in turning it off generate by reaction still more. The vulgar utterance is more polluting to the mind that originates It than it H even to the mind that receives it. A vulgar mouth speaks only for a vulgar mind. Profanity of speech is but the outward mark of vulgarity that generates in some moral cess pool in the inner character. It is not wit any more than the exhalation from a street puddle )3 perfume. The loud, loose laugh it invites U a fitting complement to it. Observe and you will note that the laugh which follows an obscene jest never has the true ring of genu ine amusement. The finer sensibill ties revolt and put into it a tone of harshness. It is not uncommon to hear men express regret that they are never able to bear in mind for repetition stories they have heard and consid ered choicely indelicate. They ought to be glad of it. The mental and moral excellence lies in forgetting them as soon as the brief forced laugh is over. The mind that is wholesome promptly expells them and it Is a mind to be proud of.Joliet Herald. "ANXIOUS suffragette)" writes to ask why we do not discuss the ques tion of woman suffrage more than we do. For the simple reason that we refuse to start anything until we JuBt have to start something. IT is a great comfort to see landmark disappear. However there are a lot of shacks In the Calumet region that wont be comforting any one for years to come from the pres ent indication. A GOOD street car conductor if taken aside gently and given a good cigar could easily show Col. Harry New how he could pack a few more in that Chicago convention. "HOUSEKEEPING will cure nervousness," says a doctor but he ' ia careful not to give his name and address for fear some of the suffragettes will get after him. AN electric machine has been put on the market for the purpose of scrubbing floors. It is not thought that this will benefit some husbands who scrub however. IF you see a snorting horse dash madly down the street, you can almost bank on it that he has seen one of the latest gaudy things in ladies sumtner parasols. THE greatest state where women have the upper hand ia the state of matrimony and we don't believe that any woman will take us to task for that statement.

YES the primary is the bogy of the politicians for they , generally find members of the opposite party to which they are attached working

at the hustings. about a homing jack ass. There is a lot of that breed that comes home when all the other places are closed up. WE understand that Milwaukee beer is going up, although we have noted several instances where it appeared to be going down rather fast. WE note that Congressman Un derwood wants Congress to adjourn early. Might as well. Don't see what keeps them in session anyway. PAPER says Bob Lafollette should be given some consideration. Piffle! Bob doesn't want consideration, h wants delegate votes. ONE nice thing about the speed way races at Indianapolis none or the presidential candidates appeared to make speeches. POLITICS will have no depressing effect on business this summer. Who ? Why we have James J. Hill's word for it. IF you haven't attacked the lowly dandelion in his lair, it's high time or else you will have to give up the idea of a lawn.' THE Titanic inquiry though still going on has been stuck on an in side page next to some patent medi cine ad. SENATOR Root doesn't care. He knows he will be there and he knows he wilj be temporary chair man. . SOME chauffeurs have about as much respect for the city ordinances as a common ordinary horse thief. VELL anyhow behind the politi cal clouds the sun la shining so hat's the odds? NEW Jersey wfll want fully a month to sleep off her terrible political jag. ALSO swat the fly again for the steenth time, swat! HEARD BT R U B E A LOT of high school boys and girls who will graduate this month figure that t.hey will be ever so faithful in their class re-unions, but after a few years have passed they'll soon find out that forgetting is one of life's easiest things. EVEN if the strawberry short cake season is soon to pass the open days for cherry pie is near at hand. SOMETHING is late this year. Either it's the announcement that Sarah Bernhardt is to make another farewell tour or it's the plana about the sane Fourth. MILLER people are lucky. Lately they have seen, the Gary park board pageant, the Knotts-Crolius lake front park debate pageant and now they have the conquet of Mexican pageant. YOU have to hand It to the French authorities. They have passed a law requiring that even births In airships must be registered. You see, births are so few in France that in order to make a showing that have to even record the contributions of high life. FOR a genuine slap upon the wrist the editor of the Fort Wayne News refers to Gary as the city having aldermen with unpronounceable names. Evidently he has never heard of West Hammond Sobleski's contingent. DOC WILEY is seriously ill. Most of us always thought that a man of the doc's age would have a hard time of it pacing the floor at night' with his new baby. "FAME is usually posthumous." Chicago Trib.

beach you have to have the uppers as well as the lowers when you take a d'PWE can depend upon Colonel George Boiling of the South Chicago Calumet to produce fevered and periodical gossip about Indiana Harbor slipping into the lake. No, George, the Harborltes never slip into the lake for with those cement mills so near they "might turn into concrete statuary.

the escape of Captain Thomas E. An - dreBen with hia young bride, was toll when the steamship Aorangi arrivedhere recently from Australia. On board! were the captain and the little woman whose honeymoon brought here face ta face with death. The most dramatic feature of the story was an account of how the skipper's wife spent a night and day alone In the small ship's boat, expecting ev ery moment to ee the waterlogged hulk of the schooner with her husband on board tak.e a last plunge to the bot to mof the sea. On April 4 the vessel struck the reef and two days after broke up complete ly, leaving the little ehip-wrecked company on the Island of Riatea, a day's sail from Rapeete, wher they were cared for by an Island chief and hia subjects. - The Watson olled from Raymond, Wash., on January IS bound for Pa peete, with about 400,000 feet of lum ber. A few days after sailing th4 seams began to admit water Into the hold and from that time until the ves sel arrived at the Eouth Sea port, fifty nine days later, the crew was compell - ed to. labor constaltly at the pumps. At Papeete a native diver made repairs, a portion of the cargo was dif - charged and the skipper prepared wed Miss Ann De Lateur, a charming girl from Pendleton, Oregon, who had arrived at the Tab Kan port over a month previousls-, and therefore was permitted under the law to wed. Cap tain Andresen was informed that he would first have to remain at the po"t for s month, and then another month was required in" which the bans of the marriage could be properly displayed upon the various billboards and fences of Papeete. , Despite the loud protest of Hhe architectural profession and during the several years that he was engaged In its study snd practice he won several prises offered by the feritish Insti tute of Architects. He then turned to literature, confining his attention at first to poetry, but at last tried his hand on a work of Action called "Des perate Remedies," published in 1871. In 1874 he published "Far from the Madding Crowd," which immediately established his reputation as a novelist. Another of his famous stories is "Tess of the D'Ubervilles," which was dramatized with great success. Congratulation to: . - Tope Pius X., 77 years old today.

Returning to port, the newly weds began to keen house In the pretty quarters which had been arranged on the Watson, and sail was set for Riatea, where the remainder of the lumber was discharged. Leaving the entrance of the harbor which is little more than a break in the coral reef, the schooner .struck lightly, and the leak which had been repaired at Papeete broken open and the wind began to blow a gale and it was impossible to return to the harbor. An attempt then was made to take shelter on the lee side of the Island, while the water In the hold arose to over eight feet and the vessel began to list badly. Fearing the vessel was about to'capsise. the skipper compelled his bride to seek safety in the small boat which was attached to the schooner by a. light hawser. A hatchet was thrust Into the young woman's hand with Instructions to cut the line If the ship went down. However, all escaped. Despite their experience, the entire party was in good health and spirits. 'They said that the governor of the I South Sea Island had treated with with every consideration.
