A Curious Bit Of History Wrapped Up in
the Word.


The making Of silhouettes can hardly be
claSsed among the lost arts, since there
is so little art about them. The best Of
them represent the human profile in a
crude way. and they were regarded as
rather cheap kind Of pictures even in
the days when they were most popular.
Indeed. the very word silhouette means
something poor and cheap and il had its
origin in a spirit OF ridicue 1t was
taken from Etienne de Silhouette, who
was a French cabinet minister in the year
1859. when the treasury Of France was
very low because Of costly wars with
Britain and Prussia and by the extrav-
aEanCes OF the government. When Ell
enne de Silhouette became minister Of
finance he set about making great re-
forms i'm the public expenditures He
was, by nature a very close" man, and
he went TO such extremes in keeping
down the public expenses that he brought
great ridicule upon himself, and finally
anything that was cheap and poor was re-
ferred TO as a Ia Silhouette.
A very crude picture was popular at
that time II was made by tracing the
shadow or profile Of a face projected by
the light of a candle on sheet Of white
paper and the outline defined with a PEN
ell. This was such a very poor and cheap
sort OF a picture that il was at once
called a silhouette in further derision Of
the very saving French minister, and the
name mas STUCK. II Is an instance OF
the curious derivation of some words in
common use, and this unkind slur on
man who was really trying 10 introduce
needed reforms in the spending of the
public money has long been accepted as
a good and proper word. Indeed, there is
no other word used for pictures of this
kind, although there were such pictures
long before Monsieur Etienne de Silhou-
cite had his name attached to them in so
embarrassing way.-lSt. Nicholas.

BELLOWS FALLS NEWS
A Blow TO Liquor Traffic from over the
River

Much interest has been evinced in the
outcome Of the suit brought in January
against Daniel Graham who was arrested
that month in the square by States
Attorney Bacon. while driving the eN-
press delivery team of the Crescent Bot
Ting company of North Walpole During
the past week he has plead guilty 10 a
violation of the license law in the deliver
ing of liquors this side of the river not
having license, and was fined by the
county court 500 and costs. At once
upon the bringing of this suit all the sa-
looms across the river that had an "eN-
press company attachment for the de-
livery of their goods this side of the
river, discontinued the deliveries here and
have been awaiting the outcome of this
test case. The result seems to prove that
it has been done in violation of a valid
statute, and the probabilities are that the
traffic will not be resumed rs formerly
while the law remains in force and Mr..
Bacon is states attorney.

THE MAYOR IN EARNEST
Will Enforce More Rigidly
Parliamentary Rules in
City Council.

With each session of the Hammond
council, Mayor Becker is trying
earnestly to enforce the parliamentary
laws more rightly.
Never in the history of Hammond
city councils have they been enforced
to the limit, but the mayor finds that
with the growth of each week. more
time is used up at each session by
members of the council discussing
questions when they are out of the
order Arguments become heated oc-
casionally, and it is not infrequent that
the mayor is assailed on all sides
simultaneously.
With the past two months he has
called the council members attention
to the laws and in several instances
ordered one or the other to be seated
and wait until such a time when he
shall be recognized by the chair.
The mayors tendency is taken in
good spirit by the members, all agree
ing that a more prompt method must
be pursued in the dispatch of the city's
business

IMPORTANT GAME
ON FOR SATURDAY
DePauw and Wabash Are
Scheduled for Bitter
Contest Tomorrow.
BOTH TEAMS STILL IN RACE
Relative Standings Not Known as
Contending Schools Played
Different Opponents.
Especial to Lake County Time..)

Greencastle, Ind, Nov. 1.-One Of the
most important football games of the
season will be played on Ingalls, field
at Charlottesville next Saturday. when
DePauw university meets Wabash col
lege. Each team is yet in the running
for the state pionship-Wabash
having defeated Purdue with the small
score Of Z to and Earlham 35 to 0.
They have been defeated by Michigan.
22 to 0, and by the Michigan Agricul-
tural school. 5 to g. DePauw has also
played four games. defeating Franklin
college 4 to 0, Miami university II to
s, and Indiana State Normal % to o..
Indiana university defeated her 25 to
9. Since no two teams have played
the same opponents during the season
their relative standing cannot be yet
determined. Last year DePauw held
Wabash to seven points and will surely
give her harder rub this year. Four
hundred students will accompany the
team from this place and much en-
thusiasm over the game has been in
evidence among the student body.
Mexican field has been closed to all
visitors every afternoon this week and
Coach Brown has been putting his men
through secret signal practice and has
developed some new plays which Will
be sprung in the coming game.
What the Coaches Says
Coach Brown says: L have great
hopes for Saturdays game. My men
are in the best of condition. We have
met and defeated a stronger team than
ours twice before this year. I recog-
nize the fact that Wabash has one of
the best teams in the state, but 1 do
not think that 1 underestimate them
when I say that I think DePauw has
as good. l will not predict the score.
but I am confident that it will not be
a walkaway for Wabash"
Coach Cayou says: Il am looking
for one of the hardest contests of the
season when we meet DePauw next
Saturday. DePauw has a strong, we'll
coached team and while I am confident
of the victory for Wabash, I know it
will be a hard-fought and a costly one.

HUNDREDS WITNESS
A KNIGHT FOR A DAY.

The hundreds of people who spent
their Halloween last night attending
the performance of "A Knight for a
Day" at Towle's opera house, were not
disappointed with the way they had
celebrated the occasion. The play was
the best of its kind that has ever been
seen in Hammond and furnished three
hours Of good wholesome entertain
ment. The costumes were splendid, the
music all that could be desired, the
roles were well handled and the
chorus was all that it was advertised
to be-

agility coupled with the impressive

The elopement scene at the close of

The plot Of the play hinges about
lockets which We're given TO young
man and a young woman that were ex-
actly alike. The gifts We're bestowed

they meet. In case they carried out
their part of the agreement they
were to receive a large fortune that
had been bequeathed to the owners of
the lockets, whoever they might be-

They then discovered that the estate
was worthless and that they would not
