Just at present the manager of the

There are three kinds of chorus girls.
The broiIers (the dancing girls of the
chorus); the mediums (the girls of av-
erage height. and the show girls (the
girls who are plump, 1.-THE and spec

is pretty and has a good form, while
the music master insists that she al
least must be able to sing a little, nc
matter how good looking she may be

Important Visit Today.
MUNSTER PEOPLE INTERESTED
Villagers Want To Be Brought In
Closer Touch With Hammond
Than They Are Now.

The extension and Strengthening of
South Holman street from Kenwood
avenue to the Highland road received
q new impetus this morning when
Walter Merrill, Peter Seminal and Ehr-
hard Bixeman of Crown Point came to
Hammond in the capacity as appraisers
and went over the proposed highway
Object of Supporters.
The appearance of the appraisers
Opened up the subject which was de-
feated once, but which seemingly has
taken on new life. The plans this time
are the same as in former times with
better prospects for success The sup
porters of and extended Holman street
have two objects in view, first the OPP
ening of the road from the Ridge road
to the Highlands road and secondly
the strengthening of Holman street
where it connects with the Highland
road.
Opposition Expected.
Opposition is of course expected, the
strongest argument by the northenders
| of the proposed extension being that
they would have three highways run
ming north and south in an area not
over a half mile wide There is first
VI al Inc Stdte line TOdu, ana what Is
known as the Humpfer road and the
proposed extension.
| Some of the property owners own
only a few acres of ground and they
fear that their acreage will be so di-
vided that it's farming possibilities are
almost ruined
Boosters Don't Figure Costs.
The boosters of the proposed extend
ed highway however are looking be
yond the cost of the road. they want a
direct road to connect with the High
land road now one of the principal
roads in the county This would make
it the ideal roadway for the automo-
biles who desire to get into the soutf
part of the county.
There is a Jog at Kenwood avenue
that needs strengthening first of all
and this will be done sooner or late1
whether the extension made or not.
In connection with the appearance O.
the appraisers on the scene the ole
subject was revived to prepare for

right to open the street. Munste

head being exposed to the cold, while
the rest of the body is warm. In nine

you ought to have seen the members
of the company sit up and take notice.
She was dressed fit to kill and when
1t came to q figure, she had all of the
rest Of the chorus backed off the
boards
The manager thought he had made
find He questioned the young lady
and learned that she was the daughter
OF well known and wealthy parents on
the south side.
She informed the manager that she
had an income of her own and that
she did not care whether they gave
her any money or not. She had al
ways been ambitious to go on the
stage and she would be willing TO
work for a while for nothing if the
manager would only give her chance.
She's a dilI,' was the whispered
exclamation that every one made when
they saw her. I can just see her in
one of our new $500 directorie gowns
said another. and SO everybody sized
her up and seemed to think that the
show had fallen for something good.
When the music master got hold of
her and when she opened her mouth
| she emitted the worst eroak that ever
was heard by that company. The
| hearts of those who heard her tried
out sank within them and the music
| master shook his head
You'll never do he said, but in
some manner the manager of the play
fixed it up with the music master. and

She couldn't sing. but. say. she was

Childers ended his description of the
girl.
The reporter was working on the
story of the baby which was left on
the steps of St. Joseph's church. He
understood that the little Emmerling
girl had been one of two to discover
the baby
1t was thought advisable to have a
talk with the girl herself, and so the
reporter got the residence of Mr.. Mich
olas Emmerling on the wire.
The maid answered the call.
Did the little Emmer1ing girl find
baby on the steps of St. Joseph s
church," asked the reporter.
Why, no." said the maid. Did you
lose one?'
The reporter slammed the receiver
f down in disgust and after looking in
the telephone directory again. learned
that he had called up the wrong En-
merling.
Did YOU lose one" was too much
even for a hardened reporter who
} didn't happen to be married.

Lee Kin On The Griddle Again.

Lee Kin was satisfied with the ar
rangement and so he took the same
train he had taken two days before
and left the city. 1t was not long be-
fore Fort Wayne man by the name
of Sam Field discovered that Lee Kin
had left the city and might never re-
turn to pay back the $19.75 which he
had borrowed on the representation
that he would have money soon.
Accordingly he determined to go after
the Chinaman. He had a warrant issued
and as in the first instance the Fort
Wayne police notified the Hammond of
ficers and the "Chink" was picked up
at the Nickel Plate depot He was
again one of the most surprised orient
ais in the country and wanted to know
what he was wanted for.
According to the deputy sheriff who
came to Hammond this morning to get
the prisoner the father of the boy says:
My boy he no good. he too sporty"
May Get Behind The Bars
1t is not known whether the father
will be as lenient with him as he was
before and it may be that George Lee
Kin. the Chinese adventurer, will be
placed behind the bars before he leaves
Fort Wayne.
Lee Kin says that he is a cousin of
the Chinamen who formerly ran the
| Chop Suey restaurant in this city and
| that he is acquainted with the present
manager of the restaurant, so Captain
Peter Austgen took him around and the
| local Chinese business man raised the
necessary S19,75 and George Lee Kin
was released.
1t is understood that Sam Field did
not care particularly about prosecuting
the Chinaman and so he was permitted
to go into Chicago where he will prob
ably seek employment among some OF
his friends.
