HINDoos AT TABLE.
The Higher Their Caste the M0re
Irkxome BECOME the Rules.

The Higher Their Caste the More
Irksome Become the Rules.
"In India" writes Sidney Low, ''reli-
gion, with what seems malign inge-
nuity, has occupied itself IN heaping
complications round the two essential
functions of eating and marrying. The
Hindoo cannot take his food without
elaborate precautions against pollution,
and the higher his caste Is the more
burdensome these rules are. There are
some inferior castles In the south who
are not supposed to approach even
within speaking distance of the elect.
A regular table has been drawn up OF
what may be called the degrees OF pol
luton, SO that, while some Of these low
persons can pollute man Of a higher
caste only By actually touching him,
it is held that blacksmiths, masons,
carpenters and leather workers can
pollute at distance of twenty-four
feet, toddy drawers at thirty-six feet
and cultivators at forty-eight feet,
while the pariahs, who eat beef, have
a pollution range Of no less than twen-
ty-one yards and twelve inches.
"The more sacred Hindoo Is the
more he is worried by his code of table
etiquette. The very high caste Brah-
man ought TO strip off all his clothes
and, if possible, sit on the floor when
he consumes his food. He should not
eat anything which has been touched
by an inferior or non-Hindoo or
drink water out of any vessel similarly
defiled As the scale descends the re-
Btrictions relax until at last we get |
down to the man of no standing what |
ever, the sweeper, who is so wanting |
In refinement that he can openly stroke |
a puppy dog, and finally we reach the |
outcast who can eat any kind of meat |
whenever he can get it and will even |
drink out of cup which has touched |
other lips.
Luckily for the modern Hindoo |
these burdensome prohibitions and in
functions are subject to certain con-
venient legal fictions. Sweetmeats, 1t |
appears, are not food and may be TAX
en- by anybody anywhere. Not long |
ago the Brahman pundits at Benares
decided that soda water is not water
within the meaning Of the act, SO to
speak, and that ice does not count

VICTIM OF FRACTI0Us HORSE
AND VORACIOUS ANTS.
Strange Accident Befalls Hammond
Salesman While in Kansas.

Elmer Whitehall, who represents
an eastern manufacturing concern
was in Hammond this morning on his
way from the west to the east. Mr..
Whitehalls work was not completed
but he was compelled to leave it un-
finished on account of i'll health
which set in after complications
from an accident which he sustained
in a Kansas wind storm in the lat
ter part of May.
1t was while he was in carriage
in a cross-country drive that he was
overtaken by fierce storm. He was
driving a team of bronchos which
had been acting well until the first
loud thunder bolt struck. They be-
came frightened and their driver lost
control of the animals, they tearing
away at terrible speed. He man
aged to hold them in the road for a
quarter of a mile when one of the
horses made a desperate jump and
broke the singletree. The neck-yoke
fell out and the pole went to splin-
ters as it struck the ground Mr..
Whitehall jumped and fell on his
head and remained on the ground
in an unconscious state. He was
told many days later that the storm
cleared away just as fast as it had
risen and that he was found many
hours afterward lying in the sun.
His entire body was covered with
ants. HIS clothes literally moved
with them. But worst of all, the lit
tie animals had entered his mouth
nostrils, ears and eyes. They must
have worked in his head for hour:
as every nerve was severely af
fected. The doctors diagnosed hi.
case and found that it was not the
fall that put him in the critica
condition as his injuries were slight
but the ravages of the frocious littl,
insects had almost eaten away hi
life. For weeks afterward Mr.
Whitehall was in a critical condi
tion and even this morning a shud
der ran through his body as he toll
of his terrible experience of being
eaten alive by ants.

What kind of a

am the new man. What kind of
place is it?"
Its nice place for the right kind
of people, said James frigidly.
Halbert (Svoboda) became loqua-
cious then.
.'In all the places where | have
worked" he said, 7 have always
found the missus was careless as to
jewelry. They leave it here, they
leave it there, and who suffers? It's
always servants. In case anything
is lost it is always blamed upon
them
"Well, Mrs. Welsh always keeps
hers in her room, spoke up one of
the maids. The next day he was
seen coming from Mrs. Welsh's room.
A few days later he disappeared and
with him went the jewelry.
Col. Fred Lash of this city knows
Svoboda we'll, as the latter took his
meals in the Lash hotel some ten
years ago when he lived here. NJ r.
Lash said this morning: Personally
ly l never knew Svoboda to have
done any crooked work, although /
had heard of some of his transac-
tions before. I know he was a
smooth proposition"

DEMOCRATS BOUGHT
THE LAST ROUND.
Reminiscent Talk Of Voting a Bunch
of Italian Immigrants Which Both
Sides Claimed.

The rain this afternoon proved
as a good occasion for number of
old cronies to gather in the Office of
a lawyer who has the reputation of
being one of the most genial in the
city 1t was but natural that they
should select his Office in which to
spend the few hours while the rain
pattered against the window panes.
The conversation subjects were var
led, running from sports to farming
and from farming to the poultry
business. A divorce gossip was on
deck for a few minutes but was soon
dropped to take up the subject of
politics. The attorney himself is an
old war horse in the game and en-
tered with enthusiasm. AS he lean
ed back in his chair he stroked his
hair and grew somewhat reminis-
cent and went back a bit of Ham
mond's recent history-the mayoralty
campaign last fall. He dwelt in
particular on elections and the vot-
ers who cast their ballot in the
blacksmith shop Of Bob Mathies on
the memorable November of last
year
We'll, it was the queerest thing
about that bunch of Italians mum
bering about forty" he said, whom

parties were sure of the forty votes.
]. X. Stinson, whose Democracy is
we'll known, was challenger, and he
decided to do his duty as such, and
he did. LeGrand T. Meyr and Will
liam Bridge were chairmen, Demo-
cratic and Republican respectively.
Both were confident that forty votes
belonged to each of them and ex-
changed confiGences.
Yes, let them in, chimed in
Charley Heimbach. 1.-The votes were
cast and still both sides were conf
dent. Well. the Democrats won the
Italian bunch; they stood together,
shoulder to shoulder.

Count F." Jacob Svoboda of Oak

Svoboda claimed as a nephew were
arrested last night Chicago where
Svoboda was charged with stealing
$4,000 worth of iewelry from the
Edward Lowber Welsh home in Phil

Svoboda and his adopted" nephew
were in Hammond Saturday, July 16
and went to the newspaper Offices
and told story of alleged mistreat-
ment at the hands of a farmer near
Michigan City on the night before
while they were driving in their au-
to- Svoboda's story was given no
credence in the Lake County Times
office, although it was given in the
paper as his alleged story.

DEMANDS OF CITY
CAUSE HESITATION.
Track Elevation and Union Depot for
Hammond are 3ared BY Railroads
for Giving Better Depots at Once.

The question Of new railroad sta
tions is becoming more alive in
Hammond every day. The compa-
nies have finally come around to the
point where they are willing to ad-
nit that the city is really entitled
to better Accommodations but are still
hesitating about going down into
their pockets for the desired build
ings.
The topic of railroad elevation is
in the air as is also the one about a
union depot for the city.
The companies surmise, and cor
rectly, that the time will come when
Hammond will make the demand for
both the elevated railroads and the
union depot and are only guessing
as to how far off both are. If both
do come to Hammond and would it
be only after ten years the companies
are averse to spending thousands of
dollars on depots which after that
time may be found useless.
AS far as making demands from
the railroads the city seemingly is
in a good position to make them or
at least three, viz: the Michigan Cen
tral, Nickel Plate and Monon 1t
is understood that the three roads
are about ready to approach the
board of public works and the city
council for a second track and yard
concessions.
The companies consider it as one
of the gravest mistakes that they
could make, should they now go to
work and give the city the desired
buildings and later be compelled to
remove them for union depot The
c. C. & L. which recently received
franchise to lay its tracks through
the south part of town is evidently a
winner in this question All that
has been asked of it thus far in the
line of a station is that it build a
depot on Holman street costing no
less than five thousand dollars to
which demand it agreed. It's loca-
tion is so natural that it does not
have to consider the union depot
idea and unless the Monon compels
it to elevate its tracks it will not be
hahpered in that manner either.
The question of the c. c. & LIS
right TO cross the Monon on a
straight crossing is pending the de-
cision of the state railroad commits
sion now, an appeal having beer
made by them recently. They Of
i fered money to the Monon and prom
ised to maintain the crossing but the
latter fearing that its traffic would
be hampered, objected and would no
consider anything else excepting al
elevated crossing. The decision o
the state railroad commissioners

There is a rumor that the Clifford
railroad which now enters the south
ern portion of Lake county will be
purchased by the Vanderbilt system
and extended from its present north
ern terminus at Plum Grove in a di-
rect line to Gary, Ind, and the south
ern terminus extended to the Indiana
coal fields. A meeting of the direct
ors of the road was held at KeTsey,
Ind this week, and it is understood
that a formal offer has been made
Mr. Clifford for his interests. Presi-
dent Hotchkiss, representing the Van
derbilt interests was present at the
meeting and also made a tour of in
spection of the road His examina-
tion was particularly minute and
careful and he went into the smallest
of details to ascertain the value of
the property.
1t has been known for some time
that Mr. Clifford was seeking a pur-
chaser, as he had found the task of
securing an entrance into Chicago a
greater obstacle than he anticipated,
and one almost unsurmountabIe for
him. 1t has also been known that
several roads. among whom are both
the Erie and the Monon had their
eyes on the line Mr. Clifford has chos-
en- and that a deal was in prospect.

At a meeting of the high board of
directors of the Independent Order of
Foresters of America held at Valpa-
raiso yesterday a radical move to-
wards enlarging the membership was
made by ordering a special dispensa-
tion of sixty days in which initiation
fees are done away with and the
medical examinations paid for by the
high court, when applications for
membership are made in lots of FIVE.
In addition to this s75 in prizes are
offered TO the organizers obtaining
the most applications between now

S more than $40 per capita. of men,
,ership and is the largest per capita
reserve of any fraternal insurance or
Ter in the United States. The high
board Of directors intend to make a
rigorous campaign to double the
membership in the next two months.
The Foresters of America is one OF
he few fraternal orders that has re
.eived high praise for their plan OF
