THEATRICAL NOTES.

Robert Mack, the comedian of the
Black Crook company to be seen at
the Towle opera house, Saturday, Feb.
2, is or rather was a dog fancier until
few days ago. It came about in this
way. He fell in love with and pur-
chased a likely looking bull pup some
weeks ago, which he set about to
teach cute things. Among these was
the act of sitting up and speaking at
his masters command. The dog &C
companied his master to and from the
theatre, but not being old enough to
appreciate talent he usually spent his
time at the theatre asleep in Mr..
Mack's dressing room. One evening,
however, he became restless and dur
ing the third act wandered into the
wings. All went well until the heavy
part of the scene came where the hero,
heroine and william get into a wordy
war the william making some sassy
remarks about the leading lady who is
commanded by the hero to resent them.
Mr. Macks lines go something like
this: Il command you to speak
speak" When Mr.. Bull Dog, who was
watching the action of the play, heard
the word speak coming from his
master, he thought 1t was his cue, and
at once dashed on to the stage, as
sumed a sitting posture and proceed
ed to bark loud and long. There was
a pause, then a roar of laughter from
the audience and a wild dash by Mr..
Mack and the dog. After a few min
utes matters quieted down and the
play proceeded. Since, then, however,
Mr.. Bull Dog spends his evenings on
the end of a string chain attached to
his masters biggest trunk.

WILL UNRAVEL
PARK TANGLE
Case Will Be Taken Up In
February Term of
Court.
ENDS LONG LEGAL FIGHT
Railroad Offers to Build $4,000
Viaduct Over Tracks to Park
Property.

In the rush for lake front park sites
the city Of Whiting has been in the
lead for some time, and after four
years fight with the Lake Shore &
Michigan Southern railroad, the case is
finally to be decided during the Feb
ruary term of court at Crown Point.
About four years ago, Charles Davi-
son. Grant Spurier and Fred ]. Smith,
now mayor of Whiting, condemned for
the city about ten acres of ground
which lay on the lake front between
Sheridan avenue and White Oak street.
Railroad Disputes Right.
The Lake Shore railroad disputed
the right of the city to the land from
the very start and began the litiga-
ton that has lasted all these years.
The case was taken through ali of the
courts and the city won in all of its
contentious. However. the law requir-
ed that the proceedings of the trials
be filed within a certain number of
days and the city attorney neglected
to do this
Consequently the case had to be tried
all over again, and at this late day the
matter is finally to be settled and there
seems to be no doubt that the city of
Whiting will be the winner.
Land Is Appraised.
The land was appraised at $3.50
per acre and if the case is won it will
probably be bought at the original fig
ure. There is a frontage on the lake
of about 700 feet and the plot com
prises about ten acres of shore land
1t is the purpose of the city of Whit
ing to put in piers and reclaim another
ten acres, making the total that will be
devoted to park purposes twenty acres
Eiaduct May Be Built.
There are three streets which cross
the tracks and afford access to the
park e: Atchison avenue, Sheridan
avenue and White Oak avenue, and the
railroads have made the proposition
that they will build a viaduct to cost
$4,000 so that the park may be reach
ed in safety, if the city will vacate
| the three above-named streets The
conCensus of opinion seems to be that
the railroads proposition is a good one
ana that in this manner only could
safe approach be made to the new park

SaIt-free Diet for EplIeptIcs.

The suppression Of aIimentary salt
the diet of epileptics has favorable
effect on epileptic seizures, inasmuch

Change in Ownership of Tennessee Company Continues to Be All
 Absorbing Topic.

The sale of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company to the United States Steel corporation continued to be the chief topic in local industrial and financial circles yesterday. The deal is regarded here with high favor. since the general policy of the Steel corporation is known to mean development on large lines, and since too it is known to be the only industrial institution strong enough to put up cost and push improve ments in spite of adverse financial condi- tions.
 It is thought that but for the money panic in New York the interests which acquired the Tennessee properties two years ago would have retained their hold ings indefinitely. The men who formed the syndicate felt satisfied that they had a good thing and it was seen that their purpose was to develop the properties in steady and business-like way. But the money squeeze came and under the circumstances. it was found best for all concerned to let the great Steel corpora ton takS over the properties. L s.t.,. The Steel corporation ie made up Of d i4&ge number of subsidiary companies oeratife, IririunaeraDie large plants mong the chief subsidiary concerns are Carnegie company, the Federal Steel mpany. under which the Illinois Steel operated; the American Steel and Wire; National Tube, the American Steel
 op, the American Sheet Steel, and the
 erican Bridge company.
 ne Tennessee company, with it's en-
 ed open-hearth rail mill and six blast
 aces at Ensley and ten stacks out of Ensley and with it's immense coal
 ore properties, will come to be one
 $ most important subsidiary com
 ,s Like the other subsidiary con-
 it will retain complete executive
 operating organization.
 Steel corporation being a large eX-
 it will have a great advantage
 pping it's products from the Blr-
 am district because of the cheap .-. rates at Pensacola and Mobile as
 .r ed with rates from eastern ports. In
 2 out this advantage men promi- tr the metal trade here say that the nited States Steel will naturally push 1 development in the district and will as soon as possible start new construction steel plants and plants for turning out | various finished products. The immense trade the Steel corporation will have with I Panama will be an additional reason, it l is said, why the Steel corporation must l hurry along development. Taken all to- l gether, the new owners of the Tennessee | company will, it is thought, make the I Birmingham district hum as it never I hummed before. They have enormous l capital and will expend many millions I here every year.

TOM JOHNSON WINS OVER I. !. BURTON Republican Chairman Comedies
 the Defeat FOURTH TERM AS MAYOR Johnson Will Have About 5000 Major ity in the Final Count If the
 Present Ratio Is f kept Un.
 
FOURTH TERM AS MAYOR

Cleveland, O., November 5-Mayor Tom l.. Johnson was today reelected for the fourth term as Mayor of Cleveland in hard fought battle, in which the re- publican ticket was headed by Congress- man Theodore o. Burton, chairman of the House committee on rivers and har- bors. At midnight Chairman Baker of the republican committee conceded the election of Johnson by 5000 plurality. At the Johnson headquarters his majority is placed at higher figures. and the cleo tion of the entire city democratic ticket is indicated by 5000 or more The demo- erats elect q majority of the council men. Congressman Burton made consid erable gains over the vote of two years ago, when William II. Boyd was the republican candidate. but the gain was not sufficient to overcome the strong Johnson lead.
 At midnight the official count of 130 of PA precincts give Johnson 23,99O; Bur ton 20,439. The present ratio if main talned would give Johnson d majority of over 5000.

Results in Ohio.

Cincinnati, November 5-Ohio's first ex- perience in separate municipal elections demonstrated today that local issues would be paramount and the results are so varied that partisan victories cannot be generally claimed as such, each local fight having some particular complication.
 For Cleveland, interest centered on the contest between Mayor Johnson and Con gressman Burton, over the matter of street railway fares, an ultimate Scent fare or the immediate accomplishment of a present peace in local transportation matters seeming to give ballot leaning toward the former idea, indorsed by John son.
 In Cincinnati Markbreit, republican,. was elected mayor by so sweeping a vote that he has apparently carried his entire ticket with him. ending q fight of Mayor Dempsey, democrat, for the vlndi- cation of q reelection and the present efforts of those who have been long op- posing republican leadership in Cincinnati affairs.
 In Toledo. Mayor Brand Whitloek, who received a democratic nomination and ran for election as an independent, has been emphatically indorsed, securing over TOGO plurality.
 Bond republican, was elected mayor of Columbus by from 3000 to 1000 plurality over Duncan, democrat, who had an nounced strict inforcement of all liquor and Sunday laws.
 Dayton's three-cornered fight seemed, according to the early returns, to be in favor of the democrats, their candidate, Burckhart, winning out over both re- publican and independent candidates.

 ''Things are shaping themselves very satisfactorily locally and we spent most of the day comparing notes on the stu- alton throughout the country. This was done. not because we felt any apprehen- sion of difficulty anywhere else but to learn of the general situation"
 The treasury has much reduced the cash balance, which was nominally avail able for deposit in the banks, but still actually holds about 100000 in various forms of currency against outstanding checks. disbursing officers balances and other demand obligations, which never fall below $l000,000 in the amount out standing How far Secretary Cortelyou will feel justified in drawing upon these funds he has not yet indicated, but he may use a part of them to meet the grow ing appeals from the west for resources for moving the crops.
