Out Cold With Big Flat Iron

The duet of terrified screams rendered in unmistakable sopranos by Mrs. J. H. LouKhman and Mrs. V. ondersmith awoke his serpentine majesty from the midst of gwtet dreams. s:ioly he raised his head in graceful curves and with heady elartin eyes surveyed the chilly damp mattress on which he was coiled and the bare unfurnished room. Except that the door stood ajar, all was as he had left it the night before as he retired. The cries had already ceased and in a moment a face, cold, determined, courageous, appeared at the door. It advanced a few steps into the room. Resident and intruder eyed one another for a lonff drawn out second eyes matched eyes and the matchless courage of the woman v.un. The flat-iron wielded with perfect control sent the snake suuirmin and twisting to the Moor and the second and third and fourth c rushing blows brought certain death. By the time the mere men of the party, Fred Vondersmith. 410 Michigan aw, and J. II. Louurhman, IL':' S. St. Joseph st., returned to the cottage the battle was won. The two families had the evening hefore, for the first time this year, opened up their cottage on Natticrow beach. Lake Wawasee. and this room had be?n unoccupied since last season. The unwelcome visitor was found to he a young blacksnake some few inches over two feet loir-:.

Hoth parents came to America and became pioneers of Michigan territory. His father died when Timothy was 14 years old, and being the eldest of Fcven children he took charge of the farm and became the principal reliance of his widowed mother and the younger children. Mr. Howard has long been known for his scholarship and classical learning:. The foundation of this knowledge was acquired in his youth despity the primitive school then existing In Michigan and the necessary confinement of his farm duties. As a boy he had attended country schools during the winter and at the age of 17 had two terms in the Ypsilantl union school. Knterlng the university of Michigan at Ann Arbor In his 18th year, he was able to continue his studies until the middle of the sophomore year when the farm at home again needed his presence. At the age of twenty and again the following year he taught country schools. "When twenty-one he was elected inspector of the schools of Northfield, his native township. Wounded In ISclxdlion. Judge Howard first became identified with St. Joseph county, as a student at Notre Dame university when he was twenty-two years old. Three years later he was graduated, having tr.ught primary classes during his collegiate career. From the study halls of Notre Dame he took his place as a private soldier in the war of the Rebellion. Fnlisting Feb. E, 1862 in the Twelfth Michigan infantry he hurried to the front. Two months later. April 6. he waft severely wounded at the battle of Shiloh. After lying for a time at the Marine hospital at Kvansville he was discharged, June 14, 162 by reason of his wound. His return to Notre Dame was followed by his employment as professor of Fnglish literature and other classes in the university. For a number of years his career Aas Identified with Notre Dame as an instructor. During nearly forty years he has been almost continuously in public life in his home city and Ftate. Heginning in 1R78 he served six years as a member of the South fiend city council. One of his most rotable acts os a city councilman was the securing of Couth Hend's firft public park which now bears hie name. During this time, beginning In 1879, he was clerk of the .St. Joseph county circuit for four years. In IKS 6 he was elected to the state senate where he served three terms until his resignation in 1S92. His chief services in the upper house were as follows:

Author of the bill to remove the limestone ledge in th Kankakee river at Momence; assisted in framing the Australian ballot law in 1 S S ; brought in the bill for the establishment of the appelate court in 1891: and framed the bill for the Indiana tax law of 1S91. ii Supreme Ikuicli. On his resignation from the In

diana senate he was elected as jndize of the state supreme court, serving six years. In addition to these elective oftices. Judge Howard had served as city attorney of South Hend and St. Joseph county attorney and had also been selected frequently for service on special commissions dealing with subjects of vital or reform In state government. He was president of the fee ami salary commission in 1D01 by appointment of (low James A. Mount, was appointed by Gov. Winheld T. Durbin delegate to the tax conference at the Pan-American exposition in Buffalo. May 2:'2 4. 1901, where he read a paper on the Indiana tax laws; and was appointed by Gov. Durbin a member of the commission of 1903-05 for codifying the laws of the state. Judge Howard was widely known throughout the state as a historian and expert on tax legislation. He served a number of years as president of the Northern Indiana Historical society and wrote a number of books dealing with Indiana and St. Joseph county history His writings have been incorporated into textbooks which have been used by educational institutions throughout the middle west. lie practiced law in the county and state courts for about thirty-five years, having been active as a court lawyer up until a few days before his death. Married in ISO I. By his marriage on July 14. IS 6 4 at Detroit to Miss Julia A. Redmond, Judge Howard had ten children, seven of whom are still llvinc Jud.?e Howard through his connection at Notre Dame for a number of years was one of the leading Catholics of the state. He held a number of positiems of honor in various church societies. He was also widely known in state political circles, having been a leader in the democratic party of norvhern Indiana for a number of years. For hi efforts in behalf of his party it was generally understood that he was offered an important foreign post when Wood row Wilson became president of the United States. Because of his advanced ae the judge's

friends prevailed upon him to decline the honors and continue his civic activities and law practice in South Bend. Probably no man In South Bend outside of the late Sen. Benjamin F. Shively and J. M. Stüde baker, the pioneer wagon manufacturer, had a wider acquaintance nationally than Judge Howard. Win- Laoten MoLal. The University of Notre Dame In 1S9S conferred on Judgo Howard the greatest honor that it knew. From among all of the Catholic laymen distinguished In all Tines or endeavor in all parts of tlie United States it selected him as the most worthy of the Laetare medal. This high honor conferred fcr the first time on a local man excited tn leartfelt approval of all .outh Bend and of all Indiana. Citlens of this city and state Joined in the glowing words of approbation with which the university addressed the distinguished gentleman, the upright citizen, the faithful public servant and the just judge. No better proof is to be had of the high regard with which he was held by Notre Dame students than in th fact that three years ago the graduating class gave to him the highest honor which it is possible for it to give. It dedicated to him the "Dome," the year book of the uniersity. Judge Timothy Edwaid Howard will long be remembered and the remarkable versatility of his accomplishments will often be appreciated through the works of a sympathetic pen. His graver works are standard histories, among which are "History of Notre Dame" and "History of St. Joseph County." "Uncle I'd ward Stories" will prove for many years as great a source of enjoyment for adults as for children. "Excelsior" and a multitude of other essays and poems are the burden of the heritage from the man whom all had learned to lovo flnd respect.

COMPLETE DESIGNS FOR NEW VESSELS Doigus Have Ilcon l)raftHl for live Classes of Proposed Ships.

WASHINGTON, July 10. So that no time may be lost In beginning construction of the vessels to be authorized in this year's naval bill, the navy department is hastening the drafting of its building designs. Sec'y Daniels announced tonight that lie had approved completed plans for five of the ten classes of ships proposed, a-nd hoped to be ready to call for bids on all classes within six months after the bill passes. "Starting the construction of 10 different classes of vessels within such a short period after their authorization," said a statement issued at the department, "will constitute a record which has never before been approached ia the United States, nor is it believed that any country has been able to approach such a record." The five classes for which designs are complete are the scout cruisers, the destroyers, the gunboats, a fuel ship and a hospital ship. The scout cruisers as designed will show considerable advance in size, speed, armament and other essential mili

tary characteristics. The; design for; the destroyers provides a marked in- ' crease in speed, a heavier armament
