with this end in view, a campaign to

HUMOR OF THE HOUR
obeyins Instructions.

A milkman who lives in town Of
New England and collects milk from
the neighboring farmers had in his en-
ploy a boy whom he sent about with
a wagon every morning picking up his
supply. There is a rather dangerous
railroad crossing on the road. and
when the boy began work for him the
milkman said, when there's a train
coming just stop and sit still in your
wagon till it gets by"
The boy went about his task, but in
stead Of collecting the milk in about
an hour and a half, as should have
been done, he took at least two hours
and sometimes more.
The milkman grumbled a little. but
the boy said nothing, and as he seem
ed honest nothing was done.
One evening the milkman went over
his route to see some of his customers.
what ais that boy Of yoursT' asked
one Of the farmers.
"Why, nothing, only that he's rather
slow" was the reply.
"Slow! Well, guess you'd think he
was slow II you saw him resting for
half an hour in his wagon down there
by the railroad track every morning"
as it true that you stop half an hour
every morning down at the railroad
trackT' the boy was asked.
Eyes, sir; have to-" said the boy.
"Have to! What do you meanT'

Induesm.nt. to Drink.

In CatanIa an enuerprising wine
dealer has initiated a novel scheme Of
drinking by the hour ad libltum. For
10 cents one may drink for sixty min
utes. and the current price Of wine Is
8 cents a liter. The chances are, how
ever, In favor Of the merchant, for II
requires a strong stomach to drink
three liters Of Etna wine IN one hour.
AT a neighboring town the charge Is
10 cents for the nrst hour and Is
cents for two. The fashion seems to
have caught on" and at Bologna,
where the wines are better, the charge
Is Al cents for the first hour. 81 cents
for the second and 20 cents for the

NOT HIS FIRST CRIME
James King Found to be a
Degenerate of Worst
Type.

James King of Gary, the old man
who was caught in the act of attempt
ing an assault on Susie Falto. the IL
year old daughter of Frank Falto, has
been found to be a degenerate of a
dangerous type.
1t was learned yesterday that the
crime for which he was arrested was
not his first offense, but that on three
other occasions he assaulted the little
girl and then gave her candy and other
little things to keep her from telling
her parents.
King was given a preliminary hear
ing before Judge A. c. Huber and was
bound over to the superior court on
$500 bonds. The police are making
an investigation of Kings case with the
idea of connecting him with the Schra-
der murder mystery.
King has been boarding in the vicin-
ity of Lincoln park for some time and
as this is not far from the place where
Lizzie. Schrader was assaulted and
then choked to death, it is thought that
he may possibly have had something
to do with her disappearance.

KILLS
LOWELL LIVE STOCK
Disastrous Storm Visits
South End Of Lake
County.

Lowell, Ind. May 13.-(SpeciaD-
Lightning struck the barn of Frank
Wiley in Cedar Creek township, killed
seven horses and damaged the barn
considerably. OF the eight head of
horses only one colt remains, the others
having been killed outright
The horses were in their stalls in the
barn when they were killed and it is
supposed that the electrical current
must have followed along two wires
that had been nailed on top of the
manager to keep the horses from gnaw-
ing 1T. This seems to be the only solu-
ton of the wholesale slaughter of
horses. Horace Johnson and son are
building an addition to Mr.. Wiley's
house and their horse was in the barn
at the time, but on the other side of
the driveway. and was not hurt. 1t
would be a severe loss to Mr.. Wiley at
any time, but just now at the busy
season on the farm it seems much
worse. He had only $3.50 insurance
on his horses in the Lake County Farm
ers' Mutual. little thinking that fully
five times that amount of loss in horse
flesh would be visited on him at one
time. He was extremely lucky in saw
ing his barn.
Charles Cobb lost three of his best
cows by lightning Monday afternoon;
one $50 COW and two two-year-o
heifers, just fresh, for which he would
not take $50 apiece. He only had five
cows, which makes the loss worse. No
insurance

POLISH MEETING WAS
TREMENDOUS SUCCESS

Indiana Harbor, May 13.-(SpeciaD-
Indiana Harbor was the scene Sunday
of a demonstration by the Polish resi-
dents of that city, which showed how
important an element the Polish race
is in the local population.
The demonstration took the form of a
mighty procession, 1000 strong, which
marched from the Polish Catholic
church to the Auditorium by a cir
cuitors route in commemoration of the
117th anniversary of the adoption of
the Polish constitution of May 8.
Arrived at the hall there were elabor-
ate exercises in which many prominent
Poles from out of town participated, to
say nothing of local celebrities, both
Polish and other wise.
Was Spectacular Affair.
The procession was not without its
spectacular and picturesque features.
1t was headed by a squad of police of
ficers in uniform and following were
troop of mounted horsemen attired
in costumes of their native land.
Hundreds of marchers brought up
the rear being interspersed at inter
walls with bands discoursing martial
music.
A long line of march was traversed,
the route being up Cedar street from
the church to Guthrie. thence to Elm,
to One Hundred and Thirty seventh
street, to Grapevine and finishing be-
fore the Auditorium.
Mayor Precedes Priest.
The meeting was called to order by
Father A Stachowiac, pastor of the
local Polish catholic church. Mayor De-
Braie made the opening address, fol-
lowing the Introductory remarks of
the priest.
City Attorney ]. D. Kennedy was the
second speaker and he was followed by
Alderman J. Wleinski, who made way
in his turn for Joseph Strauss, who
told Of the Polish constitution and the
precautions the Poles had suffered at
the hands Of Prussians. Mr.. Strauss
address was in Polish. The speaker is
a South Chicago man and editor of the

LOSE THE FIRST ONE.

Billy Murray's Phillies won the open
ing round of the series with the
Chanceless Cubs at the West Side park
yesterday afternoon by count of to
2. 1t was a wild sort of a contest on
the part of the champions of every
thing, being a rather por start for
their conquest of the Eastern clubs
McQuillen, Murray's pitching find,
did the slab work for the visitors, and
proved his class in a way no one could
deny. Outside of the second inning he
allowed the Cubs but two hits. and held
them without a run McQuiIlen had
everything necessary to make the West
Siders bite at the bait offered, and had
the best of them in the air a majority
of the time. On top of this the Phillies
gave the young twirler excellent sup
port, cutting off several bingIes that
looked like safe ones.

THIEVES CONVENTION
HELD LAST NIGHT
Burglaries and Holdups
Keep Gary Police
Very Busy.
FIVE JOBS ARE PULLED OFF
Everything Taken From Horse
Shoes to Mems Full
Dress Suits.

There must have been a thieves con-
vention in Gary last night and pre-
sumably after an interesting discussion
of the various means of forcibly separ-
ating the public from It's valuab1es, the
members started out to make some
practical demonstrations of their work.
There were three burglaries and a
holdup to the credit of the thieves,
while the nearest the police came to
scoring was to see two men scamper
away from a house, which they had
robbed, so fast that they were unable
to carry their booty.
First In a Smithy.
The first burglary occurred in the
blacksmith shop of Edward Hayes on
Eleventh avenue, between Washington
street and Broadway. The shop was
broken into about 10 o'clock and $25
worth of goods was taken.
Some one saw the burglars at work
at their little job and notified the po-
lice. The officers were soon on the
scene but the robbers saw them first
and made a beautiful getaway.
Next "A HOldup.
The next little job was neat hold
up. Two men jumped onto a pedes-
trian who was afterwards too fright
ened to tell the police his name, and
robbed him of $40 and a bundle of
clothes which he was carrying They
did not use guns but seized hold of
him in such a forcible manner as to
leave no question in his mind that he
had better not resist If he cared much
for his life He reported the matter
to Constable Frank Chambers, who in
turn reported it to the police station
but the night sergeant of police did not
secure the name of the victim.
Misunderstanding After.
Along about 1870 in the morning
Frank Bozzella, who resides in IT'S
Delaware street, heard a noise in his
house and discovered later that thieves
had entered the place and had taken
silverware to the value of about $25
Four trunks were broken into and
some valuable papers taken from one
of them. An overcoat was also taken
from the place.
At the Wabash Inn at the corner OF
Ninth avenue and Jefferson street, the
smashing game was resorted to and q
door and a window were broken in
Unfortunately for the robbers there
! was a dog in the place which made ar
| unusual amount of noise and the bur
glars did not think it advisable to tarry
to further demonstrate their prowess
1t Was Big Success.
The convention was considered q
great success from every standpoint
and the fact was clearly demonstrated
| that 1t almost any community. no mat
ter how well it is policed, the chances
a burglar takes in the plying of his
nefarious trade are not much greater
than the risks that are run by the
employees of the steel mills
