Figures.
Especial to THE T1MEs)

East Chicago, Id, Oct 24.-The ac-
tivities of Messrs. A. Howard Bell, ].
T. Powers and Charles Sasko of the
Lake County Directory company. have
not been without results. For the
past three weeks these gentlemen have
compiled a list Of the residents of this
cityLncluding Indiana Harbor, and
find that the combined population of
the two sections of the city is 1885
There has been bitter feeling be-
tween certain business men of both
sides of the city. each claiming for his
respective locality the greater popu-
lation. The section known as Indiana
Harbor is really the fourth ward of
East Chicago, and business men have
commended heretofore that Indiana Har-
bor-so-called by the railroads-was
larger in numbers than the other three
wards of the city combined.
East Chicago the Larger.
The compiling of the directory af-
forded an opportunity of disputing this
contention, and Messrs. Bell and Pow
ers have returned report in favor of
the East Chicago district. The section
of the city known as East Chicago con-
tains 7.515 inhabitants, including those
of Grasselli and Oklahoma. Indiana
Harbor's census. taken by the directory
compilers. shows but 1910 inhabitants,
a minority of less than five hundred.
The work of the compilers has been
| laborious and careful in its details, and
the gentlemen themselves declare that
it is an absolute census of the inhabi-
tants of the two disputed localities.

THE TYPEWRITER'S ERASER. Even the Most Expert Operators
 Have Need of It Sometimes.

Of course you understand" said the typewriter girl, that even the most expert of typewriters may sometimes have to rub; that is, to erase. One may take 40 or 50 let ters in day in shorthand and then transcribe them on the machine without a mistake, but on another day not do so well.
 When We do make mistake we know 1t instantly. The expert type writer learns typewriting by the touch method. If she touches the wrong key she knows that as sure as she would if she had touched the wrong key on piano, and if the mistake is one that should be cor rected she stops and corrects it right then and there.
 "The eraser she uses is disk oi rubber with metallic centerpiece having hole through it; the edges of this opening enable the user of the. eraser to get a firm grip on it. With this eraser, rubbing to the right, the typewriter rubs out the wrong letter, and one delft with the uoC VI II AoS0 Liilo oO ACdtly dS AOl to mar the neighboring printed let ters and so as not to leave any blur on the paper, and then she prints in the right letter and goes ahead.
 Though she may not often have occasion 10 use it the typewriter gets used to her own individual eraser; it wears down under her handling and she becomes accustomed to 1t.
 "Theh comes a time when her eraser begins to wear out, as mine is doing now, and then We break in a new one. The new eraser is slight ly surfaced to give 1t finish, and so it does not bite the ink as well as one little worn, and 1t is big ger, of course, than the worn down old one. We have got to become accustomed to it and to wear it down to suit our touch.
 T shall break in this new eraser on work about which I am not so particular, reserving the old one for such use as can still be got out of it for the finest work, and by the time the old eraser is completely worn out I shall have the new one ready for any use."
