The old world has fresh troubles of its own. But three women widowed by the awful occurrence who are faithful to the death. Promptly at a quarter p3t two tomorrow morning when you and we are perhape fast asleep, Mrs. Jacques FutreHe, Mrs. Henry B. Harris and Mrs. George Thome, all widowed by the Titanic disaster, accompanied by a number of other women similarly bereft will pay a wonderful tribute to the memories of their husbands on the anniversary of the sinking of the huge liner. The women sailed from Boston yesterday and have made arrangements to have the steamer on which they are making the trip stop on the scene of the disaster early tomorrow morning the tim9 and date of the calamity. Out into the night upon the water where the most fearful chapter in the lives of these women was written a short memorial service, conducted by the liner's chaplain, will be held just prior to the flower ceremony, and as the leviathan leaves the fated spot behind the women will sing the memorable Titanic dirge, "Nearer My God to Thee" and Into the brooding mysterious black waters . of the deep cast their flowers. The idea was conceived by Mr3. Harris and Mrs. Futrelle. Mrs. Futrelle up until a few weeks ago has been making monthly pilgrimages to the seashore on the fifteenth of each month has cast scarlet flowers into Ine water. Jacques Futrelle loved fcarlot. flowers. He had them about him and wrote to them. IF living In a flat is degenerating enough to prompt people to draw cubist pictures, what is riding in street cars? THE Belgian Socialists who are sending their children out of the country preparatory to the big strike ere omre forehanded than the Lawrence strikers were. . WASTEFUL DISTRIBUTION. If a milk trust were organized and properly supervised by the government it would reduce the cost of the product to five cents a quart and pay tbe dealer a handsome profit besides. You, Mr. Consumer, piy eight cents a quart for milk. You Mr.

Awe-amltten by expectancy of spring. Katharine ee Bates, la Century. Farmer get three and a half cents a quart for your product. The railway company gets less than 1-2 a cent a quart for bringing it to town and you Mr. Milkman get four cents a quart, for distributing it. And you don"t make a fortune out of the business either. You work hard and just get by with a neat little profit. Why? Simply because every one of you dealers cover the entire city with your delivery service. The wagons of the different companies follow those of each other all over the city. And we have to pay for a milk wagon parade that we never get up early enough to see. We have to pay for those beautiful cream colored wagons and the salaries of the men who drive them. We have to pay for the horses and feed them. But if we had a milk trust, if some one could be given a monoply of the business with a restriction that the government reserved the right to say what the price of milk should be we might have purer, richer milk at five cents a quart. Or if we had a municipal dairy which undertook to provide the civ with its milk supply we might be able to buy cream that was thick enjugr. to whip and mothers could get certified milk for their babies without having to pay so much a quart for it. IT Is related that Billy Sunday's preaching made John Wanamaker weep. But tears, at best, are nonnegotiable contributions. CANNOT some one in Buffalo divert the street car strikers' attention to peaceful pursuits by strafing some referendum doings? FALL OF ADRIANOFLE. But yesterday a power in the world, Turkey today is humbled to the dust, while smaller nations she had for years tyrannized over stand ready to rend her piecemeal. With the fall of Adrlanople the end of the war is in sight so fare as the Moslem is concerned. The siege of the stronghold, lasting 155 days, outside of the regrettable loss of life, was one of the best defensive efforts of the war. Great heroism on both sides was displayed, and in the advance, as ring after ring of forts was captured, sometimes whole regiments were blown to atoms by exploding mines. The siege of Adrlanople will be mentioned in history with Plevna and Port Arthur. Before surrendering his Sword the defending Pacha burn ed the city. Peace should be near unless the allies fall out. There is the danger. Serb and Bulgar are not the best of friends. Turkey may yet have the melan choly satisfaction of sitting back and seeing her conquerors rending one another. THE "great Serbo-Americ.an con spiracy of Durazzo" is so called because Its originator was an American citizen, a Mr. Gopcevic. It certainly sounds plausible.

ANOTHER romance blasted in high life. Chicago paper prints that aviator's widow denies filgagement.

EDITORIAL, writer states that the Indianny Iegislatchoor on sober thought may repeal Its recent libel act. Judging from the rotten legislation it put over at the 1313' session, sober thoughts and sober acts are beyond its capabilities. CONGRATS, to Doc Krost, who has been elected mayor for the unexpired term at Crown Point. Wise selection. No one can fill a vacancy better than a dentist, nor has a better pull. GOVERNMENT seined lot Of engagement rings at New York custom house. Around here the girls seize a lot of 'em every day. "TOU Can t Get Away with It" is title of story in current Cosmopolitan. Any one who lias lived in Gary knows different. UNDERSTAND that there is some talk of starting a race track down in Panama. Has any one seen the Duke of Mineral Springs lately? "STEALS 60 CENTS; GETS 22 TEARS." rlnter-Ocean headline. Not far- from here one gang stole $60,000 on a sewer contract and it got the money. ABOTTT the only thing progressive. A YALE football hero who married an actress now wants the marriage annulled so he can go back to colleges and his wife is no doubt perfectly willing to let him. IF. as is claimed, pulque is the the cause of the disorder in Mexico, why not send down an adequate consignment of American, five-cent, bluebarrel whisky and have It over with quickly? NOTHING BUT George Ade was shocked when some American girls. . went. . nuts over an English prince down around Bc-muda. What else is there at Bermuda, aside from onions, for an American girl to get dippy about? Indianapolis Star. Nothing, absolutely nothing when George Ade was there. IS Mr. Wilson's tariff bill to do nothing with the tango the Argen tine importation? Is it to be allowed to complete with the native dance? LAWYER got 6 cents damage In a libel suit in the east. Looks like a bargain store rate. "FADE-AWAYS" ARE SLIPPING. In a very obscure corner of the Tribune this morning we find the in formation that In a total vote of 125,000 cast in St. Louis, April 1, for mayor, Gerhart, progressive, received 4,611 votes and the socialist candi date 6.000 votes. The republican candidate was elected. Gerhart, the progressive ,we are told was especially indorsed from Lobster Bay, and made his campaign on the letters from Col. Roosevelt, advising his election. St. Louis is normally a democratic stronghold. This showing, is but another straw indicating how gently the "fade away" party is dropping out of existence. Verily, when things begin to slip they go awfully fast. South Chi cago Calumet. "TEXAS is now plowing by wind power," says a recent dispatch. Then agriculture ought to look tip In that state as son as its few thousand dis appointed job-hunters return from Washington. BY barring the job-hunters from the White House, Mr. Wilson has deprived Private Secretary Tumulty of a splendid opportunity to live up to his name. ... INID ANA'S ANTI-PRESS LAW. Mendacious, erratic and j-ellow journalism is entitled to no sympathy from any decent quarter, yet certain alleged measures against that species of journalism are full of danger to the press generally, and to, the cause of honest government as well. We have discussed the possibility 6f abuse and tyranny lurking In the Browne resolution for the exclusion from the Illinois house of correspondents wh write "personal and defamatry" articles against legislators. In-, diana has a new law against legislators. Indiana has a new law against the publictlon of any false reports, letters or comments that expose legislators or candidates for office to contempt and ridicule. It Is strange that the Indiana legislature should have passed and the i

about the progressive party these days is its name.

NEW novel out called "War." Tou know what old General Sherman said about war. EUROPEAN astronomer says that Indiana floods will eventually make Lake Michigan dry. Oh. what the deuce do we care! There still are 168 "wet" spots left in Gary. "WILSON FOLLOWS WASHINGTON'S PLAN." Headline. Looks that way. George wouldn't mix in the French revolution and Woodrow Is keeping out of the Mexican one. "t am never to happy oa Saturday night ns when I open up my laundry bundle and find that there Is at least one collar that Isn't ripped to pieces. The old-fashioned womaa who ataya at home la tbe afternooa and trims her lamps never acts trimmed at bridge whist." Hennery Coldbottle. OLD proverb about a rainy Eaater bringing seven wet Sundays got a setback yesterday. NOTE that colored table linen Is the fashion now. Tablecloths of coffeecolored hues always have been popular in the restaurants. WOODROW Is insistent for free sugar. Probably the Wilson girls want to make a lot of fudge next fall. governor signed so vague and danger ous a statute. No fit newspaper will claim the right to make false state ments about any person; but the libel laws afford sufficient protection against such statements. If they do not, they can be revised and made adequate. But to talk too generally in a statute about falsely charging legislators or candidates with acts or words that expose them to ridicule is to play into the hands of gangsters, tricksters and boodlers. The most re sponsible and clean papers in Indiana are attacking the new law because of the weapons it places in the hands of tne worst enemies of public interests If it is not unconstitutional, a sober second thought should cause the legislature to repeal it. Demoralizing and domentalizing journalism can be fought effectively without muzzling the honest press or undermining the foundations of good government. Chicago Record-Herald. IN Mexico, Just now, it is better to be in right than to be president. OLD Battleaxe Castleman savs rne siege of Adrlanople is mere child's play besides what the present regime will have to suffer before it is through with him. SO the story that Messrs. Wilson and Bryan have kissed and made up is untrue eh? Understand they only shook hands. VOICE OF3 FME O RLE C'OIXD SOT AFFORD TO ACCKI'T THE OFFEIt t Editor Times: ! Buying- your paper on the streets of Oary on Friday 1 read "A Wisconsin (man has refused a $6,060 job at Washjingrton, because the salary isn't (enough" and you go on to say "a lot of patriots around here would be ready to serve the country on 1500 a year.' That man from Wisconsin had a level head. A Rood many ytars ago tbe writer's brother refused a nomination (equivalent to election) for confrress In Senator Hoar's old district at $5,000 a 'year. He was a friend of Senator Hoar Iof Massachusetts and knew just how thesa things worked out. Then Mr. .Hoar went to congress he refused to Jcontinue the prace of law bidding (as Kansas adinterlm senator did that jit was impossible to discriminate in many cases as to whether law business j was given to one purely on a business j basis, or in hopes of benefit to one's interests.

The only thing in which he was at all inclined to extravagance, was in having a good refjerence library, for which he had need. A short time before he died he said that another couple of years would see I last of that $100,000, not lost by bad investment but slowly lived up. This .means that living in a quiet old fashjloned way. It had cost him $12,000 to I $15,000 a year. When both,. Judges Bremer and Harjlan died they were Riving law lectures jto students to help out their salary of $12,500, at the Supreme court was then fou r years .behind on business. In .Judge Bremer's case the papers told us (there was at the time of his death. Insuring need for a little money which I think was supplied by his friends. Judge Harlan at the time he was mar'ried borrowed $1,000 and that debt still hung over him at the time of his death although he had children in middle life.

ceptable security for a loan.

And mark this: No banker, or pther lender of monev, will advance you tho tunds with which to build even a moderate priced house unless the value of your lot is equal to at least a third of the amount of your loan. Therefore, high grade, amply restricted property in the better neighborhoods, where the average character of the houses is first class, affords the best security for the loan that must finally be made before the dream of a home will come true. Picture the bitter disappointment of the owner of a homesite, acquired onlv after years of economy, learning from his banker that the propertv is going back, that its value is questionable and last of all that it is impossible to make a loan sufficient to build even a moderate house on such security.

A man in public life is held up oy every one he has anything to do with, by his doctor, hia dentist, his help, by every church and flood sufferers and every other reputable needy case in the country, till he Is nearly broke. I have seen a great many mechanics and other men with moderate wages get a hundred foot lot on the outskirts of a town and go In debt for It and keep children and a couple of pigs and a cow in the town herd and sell milk enough to neighbors to pay for her keep and raise one's own vegetables and fruit and rearing a family, still slowly forge ahead, till very comfortably fixed. How many men In Washington on good government salaries can say as much? Of course there are some men who are extra economical, with tbem it is different. I have known a man to go to congress bankrupt, said to have been sent there by the banks he owed In order that by the practice of rigid economy he might be able, to pay what he owed them. He was ao successful that although he paid over three thousand dollars a year home rent (his salary was $5,000) he boasted that In three years he paid off $$3,000 of that Indebtedness. Unless a bachelor, if a man has not an income of $5,000 to $10,000 a year Independent of his salary in my judgment he has no business In congress and that the temptations of honesty will be too strong for the average man. For Instance a few months ago Senator Gore testified that he was offered $25,000 or $50,000 If when a bill for the sale of some very valuable Indian coal land in his state was up, he would simply sit glued to 'his seat and keep his mouth shut. He knew the character of that coal deal andw his duty to oppose it, which he did, but such a proposition to a man of weak charac ter of that coal deal and his duty to might be dangerous. There are some poor men like LaFollette that as popu lar lecturer, can earn enough to exist, with their salaries, but there is danger' that giving a sufficient number of! lectures to- keep the wolf from the door ' will absorb time that could be more! profitably given to their congressional duties.

Our Can you tell ma anything about the impeachment of United States Senator William Bleunt of Tennessee? Blount was charged with complicity in the attempt to seise Florida and Louisiana in 1T0T. Blount bad writ ten letters to Carey, a Cherokee interpreter, urging him to stir up tbe Cherokee Indiana to aid him in the invasion of the Ploridas. These letters fell into the hands of United States officers, who sent them to President Adams, who in turn communicated them to congress just as that body was about to adjourn. Blount during a recesa . resigned his seat in the senate and was elected to the state senate of Tennessee and chosen its president; When tbe trial came he refused to attend, but bis counsel held that the tpse should not proceed for two reasons first, the constitution empowered the senate to try "officers" on impeachment charges only and a senator was not such an "officer;" second, tbat Blount, being no longer a member of tbe senate, could not be tried as such. The senate decided that it had no Jurisdiction. Blount resided the rest of his life in .Tennessee. No further attempt was ever made to impeach him. i What department i in charge of the census takmg7 Commerce. What ia a saga?

There are two different origins, one that it came from the custom of chalking up behind the alehouse doors the debts due from customers. In which the number of pints and qnarta they owed for were made by strokes oppo site the letters "V" aud "Q." The second is that it came from the printing office. The "p" in "q"! in small Roman type are so near alike that they are always puzjsllng.tbe printer's apprentice, so "Mind yonr Ps and Q'a" was a common injunction in the printing office.

I Why ia the handle of metal teapots usually made of wood? Wood is a bad conductor of heat. Thus the heat of the boiling water Is not conveyed directly from the kettle t the hand. Why do boilers sometimes explode? Steam is elastic. Its elasticity is in greater proportion than tbe heat which produces it. Thus unless a safety valve Is provided the pressure of the steam will burst the vessel that contains it If a player receives too many cards in draw poker and he looks at his oards is his hand dead? Yes. Does the lighthouse service of the United State com under the jurisdiction of the secretary of the navy? No; the secretary of commerce la in charge. Is Liberia governed by the United 8tates?
