Story OF tne Fldy
Robert Ridgeway, a rather harunn-
scarum young man of %, proposes mar
riage to Miss Agnes Colt, a young heiress
with the consent of her brother and sis
ter, but only 100000 If she weds without
1t. The brother imposes the completion
of Ridgeway's course at Yale, interrupted
by an escapade six years before, as con-
dition precedent to the desired consent.
To save his sweetheart's money Ridge
way, at her ernest solicitation, agrees to
return to school, but ION the quiet in
sists upon a clandestine marriage. The
girl consents and the ceremony is per-
formed. He returns to school, whittier he
is, followed in month by his wife, unable
to bear the separation longer She ar
rives just in time to interrupt break
fast arranged for her newly made
brother-in-law, who desires to test nis
wife's effection through her jealousy,
chorus girls having been invited for the
purpose of creating a scene when she ao-
pears in answer to an anonymous telegram
apprising her of the gathering. The OBJ
durate brother follows, and to evade him
the party escapes on Ridgeway's sailing
yacht. They are followed by an Asso-
ciated Press reporter, and to protect his
wife's name Rfdgeway announces, when
the enterprising scribe boards the yacht
from specially chartered tug that a
secret wedding has been performed some
two months previously. Shortly there
after, the reporter having departed, tile
sloop is again boarded. this time by
party of which the girls brother is the
head. He imagines that his sister has
been compromised, and to correct the
wrongful Impressions and avoid scandals
not only consents to the marriage. but in
sists upon its immediate preformance-a
minister being member of the pursuing
party. So they are remarked, and the
curtain descends upon the wedding sup
per with everybody happy.
Work Of the Players
Stone is probably more at home in the
prat of Ridgeway than in any comedy
role he has played here during his en-
gagement. 1t fits him like glove. More
need not be said. Charles Ruggles is a
good foil for him as Hyde Ogden, his
school pal. Their comedy team" work
adds much to the "go' of the play.
Richard Vivian as the dense English
duke, who absolutely cannot see joke
and yet who loves his American wife for
herself, not her money, provides much
of the merriment. His makeup and
mannerisms are typical of the character
as the theatergoing public has learned
to know 1t.
MISS blancne Stouuaru as Inc WllIul
heiress does some pretty work, and as
Miss Phoebe Ridgeway, her chum, Miss
Violet Rand is very chic. Thomas Lowell
as the stubborn millionaire brother, who
would sooner his sister made a foreign
alliance, was hardly what the author
contemplated, but was far from bad.
John DAILY Murphy, while not physically
suited for the tough" part to which
he was assigned, got much out of it and
created many laugh by his good acting
The others of the somewhat long cast
were well placed, and the piece is clever
~ staged and mounted. of course.

New Two Hundred Thousand Dollar
Federal Building Dedicated With
Speech and Ceremony.
EPOCH IN PROGRESS OF CALUMET REGION

Today marks an epoch in Ham
mond's career. The dedication of the
Federal building as the greatest event
the city has ever known is In progress
this afternoon and the exercises will
be augmented this evening by the
most pretentious banquet in the his
tory of this thriving region.
The streets, despite the moisture in
the air and under foot. presented a
gala appearance from early morning.
Every train from Chicago brought its
quota of strangers, and the street cars
running between Hammond, East Chi
cago. Indiana Harbor and Whiting car
ried many passengers bound for the
great festivities.
For some time before the doors to the
Feredal building were opened, a crowd
OF persons had assembled on State and
Oakley streets ready to take advant-
age of the first opportunity to view the
splendors within. The portals were
flung wide open at 2:30 p. M, and from
that hour thenceforth crowds poured
into the building to be lost in admira-
tion of the splendors newly revealed.
The magnificent interior of the hand
soonest building in Hammond was soon
all but packed to suffocation. 1t seem
ed as though the public in a body had
come to take part in the demonstration
which attended the dedication.
The members of the Hammond wo-
mans club who acted as a reception
committee, did nobly. They had ar
rived half an hour previous to the
opening of the doors, and the officers
who formed the receiving party stood
in line for hours, adding the grace of
womanhood to an event which ordin-
arily would have been rather distinct
~ a mems affair. Members of the
Woman's club We're assigned through
out the building to answer inquiries
and otherwise make themselves helpful
and agreeable to the visitors. There
were many beautiful and costly cos
tunes observed among the women.
During the entire afternoon music
was discoursed by the K. o. T. NJ. band
and orchestra, and this was a material
aid to the success of the brilliant oc-
casion.
When Jacob schloer introduced Mr..
E. D. Crumpacker, there was a sudden
cessation in the din of conversation. and
the popular congressman received the
most respectful hearing during the en-
tire course Of its speech. which was

Crown Point, Ind. April 25-A mar

This action was taken 1t the advice of

pronounced by all who heard it, one OF
the ablest efforts of the speakers life
But while all this was going for
ward in the Federal building. there
were other things in progress. 1t is
no light task to prepare for a banquet
of nearly three hundred guests, and all
afternoon a force of men was busy ar
ranging McHies hall for an event that
would tax even its roomy spaciousness.
While the afternoons reception was
an important feature of the days pro-
gram, it is the banquet this evening
that the business men who are re-
sponsible for the celebration look to as
the crowning success of the day.
There have been 2S0 acceptances and
which the hundreds of guests will be
seated. Long lines of tables have
been covered with snowy white linen.
The tables extend the whole length
of the building. The speakers board.
at which will be seated as brilliant

cred together in Hammond. has been
placed on the south side of the room
facing the ends of the other tables.
so that each of the guests will be able
to see the speakers.
The program of toasts which has
been arranged is a goodly one and
there is no doubt that enthusiasm will
be at a high pitch.
'The courts are the conservatOrs of

In the history of this government have
their responsibilities been graver than
they are now. The people look to the
courts to preserve the political equilib-
rum between the federal government
and the states and to resist the CEN
trnlization breakers that are beating
upon the rampant of the constitution.
The courts are the asylum of the hon

and the poor and the restraint upon
the rich and the powerful. Their
principle is law and reason and con-

JUSTICE TO MR.. BOONE

In the article IN the Lake County
Times on Wednesday. April "A. entitled
Boone Gets Hot Censure" an MUS
tice has been done to Prosecutor Boone.
II appears that the article sent to the
Lake County Times, had passed through
two or three different hands and each
time it bcame exaggerated.
While it is the policy of THE LAKE
COUNTY TIMES to publish the news, it is
likewise the policy of this paper to do
injustice to no one.
After investigating the matter we
are free TO admit that the situation
does not warrant the criticism of Mr.
Boone or the article as appeared.
We all must appreciate that public
officials are frequently subject to criti-
cisms for their official acts.
THE LAKE COUNTY TIMES has no de-
