But the California State Railroad Commission, acting on complants of many travelers, is going to the root of the matter and has ordered the Pullman company to appear before it today and explain its "practices, rules and regulations."

A Fort Wayne man has filed suit for divorce, claiming that his wife, whom be married only a few months ago, smokes cigarets, gets beastly drunk three or four times a week, and that she makes a practice of taking trips out of town with other men. He probably merits just about the sort of a mate he has, for the probabilities all are that she was a thoroughly depraved women when he married her ,a fact that he could have ascertained very easily had he so desired. Either this, or his own Influence has had a most damning effect upon her. The man who marries a good girl and who is all right himself doesn't have his wifa putting up such monkeyshines before

tfce. honeymoon is fairly over. Anddelphia Ledger.

' TURKEY raffles may be conducted In Gary during the holiday season, the police commissioners announce. But in winning a prize bird some men usually acquire something else with it. AS an instance that New York polltics Is getting cleaner may mention that a statesman declined an office paying $15,000 annually. OBSERVER has noticed that near ly all of the men who die of apoplexy are smooth shaven. But he may be some fellow who has a grudge against the Safety raZOr tXUSt the man who wittingly weds a sodden creature like the one mentioned in this case should be handcuffed to her for life. This thing of legalizing adultery for a few months is a disgrace to our courts. Fort Wayne News. ANOTHER REASON. Michigan City paper says that they have so many crazy people in Lake county that they take six of them a day to the insane hospital. The Gary reply to this is that this is much bet ter than permitting them to stay at home and practice journalism. Muncie Press. GEORGE TAKES A HAND. It seems as if King George has found it necessary to get into the Home Rule dispute, therefore the matter is taking on a more serious aspect. It is doubtful if anyone else can do anything to bring about5 a solution of this problem, since both the Home Rulers and anti-Home Rulers have declared that there is no such thing possible as a compromise, The number of visits that have been exchanged between King George's private secretary, Lord Stamfordham and Premier Asqulth during the past few days have strengthened the re port that the king found it necessary to try to get the fighting factions to reconcile -their differences. MAY BE THE REASON. Dr. Jacques Loeb, author of "Arti ficial Parphenogenesis Fertilization,' insists the production of animal life without a male parent has become a reality. Hence the suffragette upris ing, no doubt. DISILLUSIONED. "I once ran for office," the Vinland Vine quotes "Bill" SIncaller as say Ing, "and believed everything that was said to me about my campaign I was in the centre of the stage and as I walked along it seemed that the entire world was remarking my fine stature, which was something over sixteen feet. I believed that I could not lose and became very chesty. This continued until the polls closed but the first reports flattered me out and left me just one wish and that was to get away from the cheering crowds, which assuredly were not cheering for me. I heard old neigh bors boasting that they had not voted for me and rejoicing in my defeat It took all the conceit out of me, but did not lessen my determination to try it again." Here ends the first lessn. LAST CIVIL WAR VETERAN. I was informed by the United States pension office that the last soldier of the Civil war will die In 1955. That is the estimate made by those who make a study of vital statistics. If the last veteran survives until that date he will have lived 90 years afer the surrender of Lee. Kronk, who died a couple of years ago in New York state, was the last soldier of the war of 1812, and he lived considerably more than 90 years after peace had been signed. Bakeman, the last soldier of the Revolution, lived for 86 years after the peace of 17S3. Here Is hoping that some man who wore the blue or gray may fool the pension office and round out a full century after Appomatttox! Phlla-

EVUS OF "HUSTLE." This is how a satirist has summed up the effects of modern 'hustle": "Man's business requireth haste. The average business and professional man eats in a hurry and gets uypepsla. He walks in a hurry and gets apoplexy. He talks in a hurry and gets the lie. He does business in a Rurry and becomes a bankrupt. He reads in a hurry and is superficial.

He votes in a hurry and produces corruption. He marres in a hurry and gets a divorce. He trains his children in a hurry and develops pendthrifts and criminals. He gets religion in a hurry and forgets its n great hurry. He makes his will in a hurry and leaves a legal contest. And his tribe steadily increases."

Moon of Ten nessee, who has served In the lower branch of Congress slnca the Fiftyfifth, session, is sixty-two; he Is a lawyer by profession; was three times ' appointed and twice elected judge of the fourth judicial circuit of Tennessee; each time he has been re-elected to Congress he has received a substantial majority over his opponents. SHOOTS HIS WIPE IS RACK. Walking Into the store at Evansvllle where his wife Anna was employed as a clerk, Clarence Willlngham, 34 years old. last night fired five shota at her, three of which took effect In her back, causing wounds that will probably prove fatal. Holding off other em ployes of the store with his weapon. Willingham put the revolver to his head and snapped. the empty .weapon repeatedly. He then went home where he was arrested. The couple has been estranged for several months. The woman's refusal to return to him precipitated tho trouble. To the Editor of Thb Times: 1 Every few days, some mention is made in your paper of a child being hurt on the apparatus that has been Installed in the school playgrounds of the city, and still teems to be no move on the part of either the people or the school authorities to prevent what teems to be going through the city like a scourge In the way of broken arms, dislocated joints, etc If our children happen to have some contagious disease like whooping cough they are compelled to say at home from school for fear they will give the disease to others. This precaution is right, and hundreds of dollars are being spent to keep our children from disease, which Is also right, but why should all of this be while we place playthings; at the disposal of small children th)at are only fit for the use of adult athletes, thus exposing the children to bodily injury and possible death. Not long since I noticed a heading is your paper about signs on Hohman street and found that these were obstructing the views of some aesthetlo business people and should be removed. Now these playthings, If they can be called such, in the sehool yard are obstructing the progress of some of our boys and girls and should be removed. The advocates of these kind of toys will tell us that the children need this exercise to make them strong and give them fresh air. In reply to this I would only say that such a person should stand for about ten minutes on a level playground where school children are playing their usual games without any aparatus to help and notice if they see any lack of healthful exercise on the part of the average child. If they do they have a very extravagant idea of .- exercise for the growing child. I realize that some may say that I should not condemn these things Just because my b.oy happened to get his arm broken, as children will get hurt even on the level playground, and to this I would say that If child Is awkward about walking we do not seek to corect the fault by putting pitfalls in grounds at school so that he will learn care In walking; neither do we let poisonous reptiles live around our homes that our children may be expert In killing rattlesnakes without being bitten. I have not taken this position all because my son had both bones badly broken In his left arm and was out of school for several days and may be weeks getting back the normal use of his hand, especially as regards his music, etc, and is now losing his nor

mm It remained for Miss Florence Elsendrath, who is a daughter of Bigmund Bisendrath and a niece of Julius Rosenwald, to give the final touch of modernity to a wedding ceremony last evening when she was united to L. Monteflore Stein at tjje Blackstone hotel In Chicago. Miss Eisendrath was given perhaps the first "tango wedding" in, history. One hundred and fifty guests were assembled at 6 o'clock on the art floor of tho hotel. Through the center a wide illuminated pathway was left open for the bridal processes. Behind a bank of palms the orchestra was playing softly. Suddenly the music ceased. Whispers could be heard, "Here j comes the bride." In a moment there was a blare. The mal, healthy exercise because he was provided with toys entirely unsulted to his age and experience, but I have been much more attentive to many

cases of accident that have come to my 'seven hunters in the party, but four notice since it has been brought home! escaped by running. Those who escapto me personally, and am saying thlsjed are known and affidavits have been also for the help of the many mothers; filed against them. But one rabbit who are sending children to school had been killed when the arrest were

with a dread of the consequence of! their playing on the present equipment of our Bchool grounds. From almost every one who comments on the cases of accident the same question comes. 'How long have we got to put up with these barbarous things?" but the echo answers "How long?" Now, I do not believe in a boy or a girl being brought up a molly coddle, or, as some boys say, a "sissy, but to put up equipment of such proportions for small children Is entirely without reason, and if it is a benefit to children at all It certainly Is not needed in our city, as we can all see that the average boy and girl certainly gets as much violent exercise as necessary, and the child that Is not inclined to exercise will not use this oppor tunity unless compelled to. If , any student wants to follow athletics after getting into high school It will give him ample time to practice on a trapeze when his judgment of distance and realization of danger is more advanced. While I am writing this I wish to take this opportunity to say that it has been a mystery to me that some sort of soil could not be provided for children to play on besides the cinders that we have on all our school yards. If a child happens to fall on the sharp cinder grounds he or she Is most sure to have some of the thorny clinkers Imbedded in his flesh or to leave some of his flesh In the cinders, and I think 4f the money expended on the present equipment had been expended on usable playgrounds we would be much happier, have just as hardy children and not have to pay the doctors so much or spend so much for court plaster to cover places that lack skin, or so much for leather to cover the feet which lack shoes. We need a generation of normal healthy children and not a generation of 'athletes, as we all know that is what Greece and Rome had before having such a hard fall. If one-half the people who feel as I do "about this will speak out we will very soon have a change. One child saved from being a cripple Is worth more than all the apparatus cost, especially if it is your child. Respectfully, J. WESLEY REED, Hammond, Ind.

They were not awed by the solemn strains of music. They were Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Castle dancing the "Castle walk." Shortly the bridal couple and their attendants followed.
