In a lecture delivered before the
Woman IS Club of Chicago, DIR. Emil
G. Hirsch declared that there is no
Hebrew race, but Jew race, and
that the name Hebrew is distasteful
to nearly all Jews. Some other. jew
ish authorities hold to the very oppO-
site.
The Palmers, McCormicks and other
Chicagoans, in conjunction with east
ern and British capitalists have pur-
chased the whole east Chicago manu-
featuring district, with various big
plants and are planning improvements
that will cost millions. The district
is specially adapted for manufacturing
purposes.
The flre alarm Friday morning was
caused by the burning of L. Lumis's
smoke house. The damage was slight
but being an old wooden building al
most adjoining the residence and in
thickly settled neighborhood, it might
have been a serious fire, but for its
timely discovery before the flames had
made much Roadway.
All the worst railroad wrecks in
Plymouth, during the past twenty-five
years, have occurred just east of Mich
igan street at the point where the
wreck was today. No reason can be
given for this. The track is excellent
and is never INSTRUCTED. While scores
of cars have been derailed there, no
person has ever been badly hurt.
Mrs. Emanuel Price, formerly Mrs.
Wells, of Mishawaka, arrived at her
new home in Plymouth today. She
and Mr.. Price were married last Sat-
urday, but the family here was not
aware of it until last Sunday. We
hope their union may be a happy one.
Mrs: Price comes to Plymouth with
the reputation of a very estimable
lady.
An electric line company which filed
articles of Incorporation at Indianapo-
lis the latter part of last week, pro-
poses to construct system of lines to
touch Logansport, Fowler. Crown
Point Hammond. Rensselaer,, Wilma
mac, Rochester, North Judson, Knox,
Plymouth, Laporte, Michigan City
and Valparaiso, the estimated length
being $50 miles.
The blowing of the fire whistle Fri
day morning will remind Chief Kuhn if
he will arrange his thinking cap, that
twenty years ago this morning we
were looking on the ruins of fire in
which he was central figure in the
way of loss. We refer to the burning
of the Sears corner, which for more
than two hours was az fierce a fire as
eyer was seen tn Plymouth.
DR.. Amos w. Hall, formerly of La
porte, who presided over the cele-
brated democratic judicial convention
at Plymouth in 1894, was defeated for
alderman in Chicago by William
Johnson, the first socialist ever elected
to the Chicago city council. The
ward is heavily democratic, but both
Hall and the republican nominee were
opposed by the Municipal league.
Mrs. j. j. Hamilton. of Idaho, and
Mrs. Francis Seltenright, Of North
township went to Peru Friday to visit
with relatives until Wednesday. Mrs.
Hamilton says she and the doctor are
well pleased with their home in
Idaho. DR.. Hamilton gave up his
fine practice in North Dakota because
he was not strong enough to stand the
long cold winter rides in that country.
The Rev. Charles M. Sheldon of
Topeka, Kas.. says that after he had
married a couple not long ago the
bridegroom fumbled in his pockets
neryously without producing any
thing and finally admitted that he
had neglected to provide for the
clergyman's fee. "But," he added,
Frightening up, II can show you how
to fix your gas meter SO that it won't
register"
George E. Brown, at one time the
wealthiest and most influential man
in Montgomery county, died Thurs
day at the poorhouse, where he had
been an inmate for four years. Before
The war, Mr.. Brown owned a large
h-4ring-mill at Waynetown. and was
worth $4,000. His readiness to in
dorse his friends, many of whom
proved false, was largely responsible
for his undoing.
Mrs. W. E. Casper and daughter re-
turned to their home at Three Rivers,
Mich, Friday after visit of week

will be better recollected here as Miss
Rose Schlarh. one of Plymouth s most,
