Most of Them Paid.

A large company of easily gulled In
dividuals was victimized short time
back In an English town. BY means
Of posters announcing grand sacred
concert and by free distribution OF
complimentary tickets bearing on their
face this condition, "No gentleman adj
mitted unless accompanied by lady"
a large audience was gathered at the
theater. When the crowd be~an TO
press In, the ticket taker began shout
ing:
"All having complimentary tickets
will please pass upstairs to the gal
lery."
This was dark, dreary, hot place,
not having the capacity for seating
comfortably more than 100 people.
Those who pressed forward with their
tickets were told that If they did not
wish to go to the gallery they could
be admitted by paying a shilling
apiece Every man who appeared with
a complimentary ticket of course had
a lady with him and felt sort of en-
barrassment II she were not his wife
or intimate acquaintance, so he yielded
to compulsion and paid rather than re-
tire, and so the scheme succeeded to
the extent of filling the house.-London

An Enthusiastic Astronomer.

So great was the enthusiasm Of the
French astronomer La Caille in the
cause of science that he restricted him
self to the use of one eye, resting the
other solely for his telescope. 1t is al
most incomprehensible that man
should thus voluntarily deprive him
self of one of his most useful mem
bers, but 1t Is recorded that by these
means he was able to achieve many
very interesting results.

Widow of Man Killed at the
Steel Mills, Asks Pc
lice for Aid.
HAS FOUR SMALL CHILDREN
Brave Woman Struggled For Months
Through Bitter Poverty-Van-
pushed at Last.
Especial to Lake County Times.)

Gary. Ind. Dec. "A pitiful case of
poverty was called to the attention Of
the Gary police department this morn
ing when Mrs. John Potiaski called at
the police station and told Chief Mar
tin that she and her four little chill
dren were without clothes and food and
that there was no coal with which to
warm the little shack in which they
were compelled to live.
The chief was also informed that Mrs
Potiaski's husband had been killed in
the mills of the steel company last
spring and that since then the brave
woman has been earning a living for
herself and her little children.
The rigors of the winter season and
the extra cost of living at this time
was more than the poor woman could
stand. and she was compelled to seek
assistance at the police station to save
her children from starving and from
the cold
1t appears that when Mrs. Potiaskis
husband was killed he had about S11
in his pockets and his wife has tried
ever since then to get the money from
the coroner who was keeping it for
her.
He would not give 1t TO any OF the
messengers whom she sent to get and
insisted that Mrs. Potiaski call for it
in person. This she was unable to do
on account Of her children, and now
Chief of Police Martin has decided to
get the money for her
The chief and his officers were so
touched with the poor woman's story Of
hard luck that they have decided to
see what they can do for her this win
ter. AS soon as the facts of the mat
ter became public there were dozen
people who volunteered to help her.

COCKTAIL LURES BISHOP

New york, Dec 2.-The Rt. Rev.

New York. tonight told Chose Koike,
consul general of Japan to this port,
and a distinguished company of Ameri-
cans and Japanese. how, when he was
visiting Japan some years ago, he be
came SO fatigued by climbing the
steps leading up to the Buddhist temple
that he had to order Manhattan
cocktail when he returned to his hotel.
BIames it On Temple steps.
There is just one fault l have to
fnd with the temple of your country,
nv dear consul general" said Bishop
Potter in the course of his remarks,
and that is that, in many cases, the
stems approaching them are so long
and wearisome that they leave the
traveller exhausted at the portal.
"One DAY the Rev. Percy Grant, who
sits at my right here, and who was
nv travelling companion on my trip to
Japan. and l climbed ever so many
stems to see the temple at Yokohama
When we returned to our hotel 1 was
worn out.
Il called a servant and ordered a
Manhattan cocktail. Now, you know
had no idea he know what I meant by
a Manhattan cocktail, but I was quite
sure that would bring me something
and say it was a Manhattan. Such
Is the ingenuity of your race, my dear
consul general
ITO my surprise, he brought not only
one genuine Manhattan cocktail but

chicago, Dec. 3.-Its all we'll enough
10 mold the greatest automobile show
IN america, but selling cars is what
mostly interests the men who wear
rlch 1ur trimmed overcoats and smoke
Havana cigars in the booths in the Col
lseum and the two armory buildings.
On the second day of the show. with
an attendance that continued TO indi
cate the enthusiasm of the general pub
nc the automobile agents seemed we'll
pleased The day crowd for the most
part was made up of prospective buy
ers.
Agencies were established in large
numbers, while numerous retail sales
were made. indicating that the automo-
pie buying public is not much affected
by the stringency in the money market.
Speaking on next years outlook, NJ. ].
Budlong, general manager of the Asso-
citation of Licensed Automobile Manu-
facturers, said:
1t is fortunate for manufacturers
and tradesmen that If the present hnan-
cial condition was to come at all it
came at this season. Little or no bust
ness is done in the late fall, and this
year would not have been an eXcep-
ton. BY midwinter or early spring en-
tire confidence Will be restored. Bust
ness viii increase and the sale Of cars
Will continue as in the past.
Many New Things shown.
Every manufacturer is showing
something new at the show. and several
have entirely new motor systems, to
say nothing of the presence of over a
dozen new six cylinder models. Among
the things noticeable TO the casual OBJ
server is the increase in the number
and variety of patterns in town cars
with inclosed bodies. The limousine
bodies appear to be growing larger
but there is also an increase in the
number of small sized town cars Ian
daulets, hansoms, and cabriolets.
The palatial glass inclosed limousine
bodies have been relieved of their old
time cumbersome appearance. More
and more, every department of the mo-
tor car business is being specialized.
While the majority of the makers still
turn out runabouts and touring cars
with regulation stock bodies, the de-
mand for a special body is increasing
all the time.
Among many of the prospective pur-
chasers of cars the demands are for a
vehicle which has stood the test of
hard usage and has a reputation as a
road performer. That the Oldsmobile
company's cars meet these require
ments was shown at the recent Madison
Square Garden show in New York, when
forty-four cars were sold by this COM
pany, including eleven cylinders.

1t has been discovered by the visit
ors to the big show that there are a
number of supplemental exhibitions in
