HISTORY Of
NEW TEMPLE
Good Luck and Hard Work
Have Made Structure
a Possibility.
PLANNED SINCE 1900
DR.. Sharrer and Others Originated
Method Which Realized the
Present Success.

Two things. hard work and good
luck, have made the new Masonic tenn
pie in Hammond a possibility In
October, 1900. DIR. H. E. Sharrer. ]. G.
Ibaeh and ]. Nj. Lautman. a former
merchant in this city, started the move
ment for a Hammond Masonic temple
that was to be used for Masonic pur-
poses only.
In the face of many predictions they
finally managed TO secure $4,000 in sub
scriptions with which they bought the
corner at Holman street and Muenich
court of Gus Muenich
Four thousand five hundred dollars
of the $4,000 was spent in purchasing
the property and the other $500 was
spent in moving Muenich's house and
several other houses from the prop
erty. This purchase was made in 1901
and the purchase price was realized on
notes which the Masons gave to in
sure the payment and which have since
all been taken up.
In 1906 it was decided to secure the
property on Muenich court where the
new temple is now being erected and
$4,000 was paid for 1t. In accordance
with the plan which was decided upon
at this time the corner on Holman
street was sold to Gostlin. Meyn & Co.
for $4,000 cash
Sale Paves the Way.
This sale paved the way for the i'm
mediate realization of the plans of the
Masons TO build a building that would
be unequaled in northern Indiana and
would be devoted to fraternal and So
cia1 purposes exclusively.
1t was arranged that Frank q
Smith. a lecturer for the Redpatb Lit
erary bureau and pastor Of one OF the
Chicago churches should come to Ham
mond and help raise by subscription
the amount OF money necessary to make
the erection Of the building in the i'm
mediate future q possibility.
The plan for raising the money. de-
vised BY DR.. Sharrer and his CO. work
ers. was a unique one. A stock COM
pany was organized and the stock was
sold TO members with the understands
ing that it should pay five per cent
per annum until called.
The lodge had lot free of encum-
brance and about $4,000 in the treas
ury, and so there was ample security
to the purchaser of the stock. To the
surprise OF even the promoters lneIl-
selves over $4,000 worth of the stock
was subscribed at the first meeting
and the success of the project was as
sured.
Each Lodge Contributes It's Share.
Last year each lodge saved and turn
ed over to the building fund $1,050 and
this year they have done as well up to
May l. The lodge itself now owns
over $1,000 worth of the stock. and
there is no doubt that before the build
Ing is completed there will be enough
subscribed to pay for the new build
ing.
As an example of the enthusiasm that
IS shown BY the members. three OF
them each have a boy three years old

Irish Horses and Athletes.

The history of horses, especially Of
thoroughbreds, goes to prove that parts
of Ireland and Australia are the very
best cradles for horse breeding in
either Europe or elsewhere, with Eng
land as the second best, perhaps the
equal. The suggestion has been thrown
out that the secret lies in Il lime sub
soil. The reason for the suppOsition
is a little obscure. The present writer
shas found that cartridges bred on such
soil are heavier and stronger and, 1t
seems, fly faster than others. but this
is hardly an analogy that can be ap-
piled to the horse. There are other
curious analogies 1t has long been
noticed that the best high jumpers
among human athletes. even when the
scene of their feats is America, are Of
Irish descent 1t is not less certain
that the best jumpers among horses,
especially a large percentage at Con
tinental concours. derive their origin
from Ireland. with Australia and Eng
land as occasional rivals. From the
statistics energies strong presumptiye
evidence that the climate even more
than the breeding skill tends to
strengthen the strain.-London Out
look.
Medieval Lynch Laws In Bavaria.
1t is curious to note that in some
parts of Bavaria a method Of procedure
which is called Haberfeld treiben still
prevails and is practiced by tie people
in case of offenses which do not come
within the pale of the ordinary law.
Neither person nor property is injured.
People assemble with black or masked
faces in front Of the offenders home
and howl. fire rifles and beat pots and
kettles. A mock sermon setting forth
the offense Of the person concerned is
then recited in the hearing Of the mis-
demeanant.-London Notes and Que
