GILMAN ELIGIBLE AS
A COMMISSIONER

The decision of the Attorney General
regarding the right of Joe Gilman to
sit on the Board of License Commits
sioners was, it is understood, written
yesterday for submission to the Act
ing Governor. The opinion, it is stat
ed, is to the effect that any conpec-
ton Mr.. Gilman may have with the
Haleiwa Hotel is too remote to be con-
sidered as any hindrance to his APP
pointment as a commissioner. The
position is that Mr.. Gilman is a d.
rector of the o. R. & L. Company,
without being the owner of any stock,
and that the company leases the Ha-
leiwa Hotel from the Haleiwa Hotel
Company and holds hotel license.
The opinion will probably be made
public this morning.

who is commissioner to identity the
graves OF the Confederates who died
in Federal prisons. called OH the
President and secretary OF war and
asked that the statute appropriating
100000 for the work he is engaged
in be amended to authorize the cree
ton of a shaft in Greenlawn Gene
terry.
General Oates visited Indianapolis
a few months ago and made an ef-
fort 10 identify the individual graves
in order that separate markers could
be placed over each, but after labor
ing for some time at the task he was
compelled TO abandon hope of identi-
hcation. He explained that railroad
company. which secured a right OF
way across the cemetery ON condi-
ton that the bodies of the ex-Con-
federates lying in the right OF way be
exhumed and re-interred in another
part OF the cemeterV, had done the
work OF removal so carelessly that
traces OF identification were lost and
many bodies dumped into a single
grave.
The ex-Confederate's eyes moisten-
ed as he related the circumstances OF
his visit to Indianapolis and the fruit
less effort he had made. The statute
authorizing the marking of the graves
directs the placing of individual mark
ers. The President and secretary of
war probably will recommend to
Congress that the law be amended 10
authorize the erection of a single
shaft on which the names of the l.

what brave, magnanimous Joe Forak
er did while Governor of Ohio. He
directed that the cemetery at Camp
Chase near Columbus, in which $500
Confederate prisoners of war were
buried. be cleared up and put in order
at the expense of the state and made
it possible for me to identify and mark
every one of the graves Boys, the

HALLOWEEN.
Bopfres Once Played Conspicuous
part-Custom Still Prevails in
Parts of Northern Europe.

The word Halloween is a perman-
nent compound from Hallow Evening,
the second part being abbreviated into
''e'en.' The term is analogous to
Christmas Eve, in which the abbrevia-
ton is made in different way, and
the words remain separate. In both
fore the festival day with which it is
connected. Hallow All Hallow Day
is devoted to all the saints in the
calendar. In earlier times there were
two of these festivals celebrated each
year-one apparently seeking a pro-
pitious season, and the other express
ing ingathering thankfulness. The
first days of May and November re-
spectively were thus observed, the
former being usually designated All
Saints Day and the latter All Hallow.
In the church adaptation of heather
festivals and the transforming OF the
worship of ancient gods and goddesses
into the alteration of saints many of
the old rites were retained. For Hal
lowe'en, the bonfire was formerly
conspicuous, It's object being to
brighten away the evil elfs and COB
Inns, and welcome the kind fairies
OF the fields and woods There are
places in Northern Europe where the
Halloween fires are still lighted.
Next came the practice of charms
and witchery o gain knowledge OF the
futre, particularly as to matrimonial
prospects-seeing the face of the flu
ture life partner mirrored in the glass,
or in still water, or finding the letters
OF the name in the seeds of an apple
core. Burns. in one of his poems,
gives an interesting enumeration of
the tricks and pranks and wanton
wiles" practiced at Halloween in
rural England and Scotland.
Another evolution OF the old observ-
ances seems to have developed chiefly
in America The boys, becoming in
carnate representatives of the evil
spirits and mischief working COLLINS
of old, perpetrate practical jokes and
annoying, though not serious, injury

usual form of the sport is to- misplace

difficult for the owners to discover or

curing which they were held back by
Lucius Fisher, OF Chicago, who owns
nine hundred acres of land inside the
corporate limits, besides FIVE hun
bred acres across the state line in
Illinois.
Mr.. Fisher was inclined to believe
that the desire to incorporate was the
outgrowth of political scheme, and
he fought the suggestion tooth and
toe nail, not only in the local courts,
but he was also prepared to resist if
the question had been made the sub
iect of legislation during the recent
meeting of the Indiana general as
sembly, Mr.. Fisher also served notice
of an appeal to the supreme court.
and he instituted quo warranto pro-
ceedings in the Lake superior court,
but finally becoming convinced that
the Munsterites were acting in good
faith. he withdrew further opposition
and the incorporation became an as
sured fact. Peter Klootwyck has
been elected president of the town
board, and the town trustees have
clinched their hold on town life by
taking over the schools. With town
life cEnched, it will not be long until
the existence of the city OF Munster
