IeoncavalIo.

The appearance of Ruggero Leon
cavallo, the noted Italian composer. at
Tabernacle on November %, conducting
the famous orchestra and lyric artists
of 65 from La Scala, Milan, promises
to be quite the most pretentious musical
event of the season, besides making the
composers first appear. nee in America
LeoncavaIIo's debut in New York was
one of the most successful ever wit
messed in Carnegie Hall and was the
means of beginning the Metropolitan
musical season in an suspicious manner
The program consisted of the principal
numbers in "ZaZa," Il new opera for
which Looncavallo has received nu-
merous offers from American impress
Sarios. The work proved to be even
more pretentious than his "Pagliacci,"
which, before now, has been the only
work of the composer heard in America
The Septelle. from "Chatterton," his
first important opera, a duo from
"Medici," selections from "Boheme,"
the overture to Roland de Berlin and
his new ave Maria" dedicated to his
holiness Pope Plus X, comprised the CO.
terie of innovations introduced in
America for the first time. While these
works will be well represented on
Leoncavallo's program here the princi-
pal features will be taken from his
"Pagliacci," which will be sung by
Mesdames Calvi, Rizzini Ferrabini,
Signors ParyA, Barbaini, De Ferran and
Belief. The engagement is brought
about through the endeavorS of Mr.
Pyper of the theatre.

Louis Mann thinks he is an authority
on laughter. Here are some of his opfn-
ions on the subject recently delivered:
1.-The first smile is observed when a
child is about forty to sixty DAYS old
but does not begin to laugh unJII some
time after that"
children and women laugh more
than men, because they are more ex-
citable, and because the moderating
power of the brain is less in them than
among men generally"
Laughter is not SO much an index
to intelligence as it is ir the condition
of health
1.-The envious, wicked and malevolent
rarely laugh, because they are iinpreg-
mated with bile, and are, therefore. mo-
rose. The naughty, the vain, and the
awkward. also laugh very little, for
fear of losing their dignity. The Span
ish people, proverbially grave, are a
good example"
After his performance in 1.-THE Red
Mill' at the KnickerbocKer theatre IN
New Yo.k one night recently Fred
Stone sat down to a lobster supper with
Tom Sharkey, the fighter.
The claws were off the lobster served

CONTINUED from page u

directors of his company with the
proposition that the company guar
antee TO market the bonds Of the
city for the successful contractor in
the bidding, at no less than ninety
five per cent of their face value,
which proposition the East Chicago
company consented TO accept and
upon which representation the five

they so quickly withdrew when they
saw the kind of men who were seat
ed in the city's legislative body.
When he was seen by a represen-
tative of the Lake County Times at
his office in East Chicago, Manager
Mailing was not choice in the words
he used to give his opinion of the
four aldermen of the council Lewis.
O'Girr, Wleklinski and BrzeZinski
In part he said These four alder
men have banded themselves togeth-
er to accomplish some petty political
schemes of their own, in utter dis
regard of the wishes of the men who
spent their time and money to put
them in the council. You cannot
quote me too strongly in my utter
contempt for these men and the
methods by which they seek to gain
their own way or to vent their spleen
upon the men in the council who are
rational and reasonable. You may
put it down for a certainty" con-
tinued the irate representative Of
the land company, that if there was
any way in which the people of In
diana Harbor could proceed to GUST
these men from the city council they
would do it in d hurry and by a
vote that would be practically I'M
animous. They are seeking to force
the council to do things their way
and have adopted these rule-or-ruin
tactics to accomplish their end.
believe that the result will be that
public sentiment will force these
men to have a little more respect foI
the wishes of their constituents, even
though they have none for them
selves"
1t is said that there will be a big
crowd of Indiana Harbor residents al
the council meeting tonight and that
drastic measures will be restorted tC
in case the big Four" again try tc
run things according to their own
ideas.

New York. July 9.-Stocks opened
irregular and with strong undertoae.
Trading at the first hour was mostly
of a professional character with
Brooklyn. Smelters and st. Paul
again the lea2ers. News in gen
eral was trife bearish. good crop
news increased. Earnings reported
for some of the grain carrying roads
and cheaper money were some OF the
features that added to the strength
of the market.
After the first hour there was a
determined effort on the part OF the
bear clique to depress the price OF
Brooklyn and dislodge some OF the
long stock. hammering it down to
IS, but around that price good sup
porting orders We're in evidence and
the decline was not maintained.
COPPER was rather firm in antic-
ipation of an increased dividend for
this stock at the next regular meet
ing. There is talk of putting it on
an per cent basis.

Chicago, July 9.-WHEAT today

downward with spasmodic rallies of
Il cent after each dip. The news
ring the weather conditions in the
northwest. Weather in the south
west favorable, receipts of new
wheat increasing at all of the pri-
mary markets, cash demanded rather

the low prices of the day, recording
a cent decline for both July and
September.
CORN-The market was firm and
higher with good buying by local
operators and commission houses.
There is some apprehension as to
the crop in western Nebraska and re-
ports from that section are favor

firm with the advance well sus-

OATS were stronger and higher
and followed the market for corn in
general way. without any partieu-
lar feature. Shorts were moderate
buyers on the advance.
PROVISIONS-Fea tureless and

any dip.

HAMMOND BEAT ARM0URS.

The Hammond baseball manager
was hoodwinked into allowing the
Armour team a big guarantee for
yesterdays game on the ground that
they were the real thing and could
not be induced to play the local
team without assurance that they
would receive good guarantee.
The fans in turn thought that the
visiting team must be the real thing
and turned out splendidly as see the
sport.
What they saw was the poorest
exhibition of the national game that
has been seen on the local field in
many day.
The Hammond team walloped all
over the Chicagoans and the way it
looked on the score board at the end
of the game was u to l.
The Armour team went back home
-umbled and the Armour manager
chuekled as he pocketed his un-
earned spoils.
The fact that Hammond got IL
hits to the Armour's shows what
the game was and the fact that Don
ahue and Mcmahon struck out 1S
men to Ashworth's 6, gives some
thing of an idea of the comparative
pitching qualities of the opposing
slabmen.
