occupied by Frank Hawkins. porter destroyed by fire yesterday afternoon a little after , o'clock.
 The alarm was turned in from Box 36. at Fourth avenue and Madison street, and just three minutes later the first stream of water was turned on the burning dwelling It was one of the fastest runs made by the depart ment recently. but even when the fire men arrived, the fire was beyond con trOl, as tn house was old and the tim bers dried to match-wood.
 The fire was discovered by Mrs. Hawkins little girl Mrs. Hawkins was sitting on the front porch reading a newspaper The little girl came out on the porch and said: Mamma, the engine is making a lot of smoke" As the house is situated near the tracks, Mrs. Hawkins thought nothing of the smoke, which began to sift through the doors. The child then went into te back part of the house and discov- cred the fire Frank Hawkins was not at home at the time. but Mrs. flaw kins had just finished preparing his dinner and was awaiting him on the porch He was on his way home, when he heard the alarm and saw the en- zines. By the time he arrived the house was in ruins
 There was no time in which to save any of the household effects. The fire burned fiercelv and threatened other dwellings in the neighborhood. A chicken coop across the alley caught fire and burned up and many rods of fence were destroyed. The actual loss is comparatively slight.

The Election Repeater" System.

In an article Tn McClure's Maga- zine for June George Kibbey Turner describes the election fraud system as it prevails in New York:
 Between the heads of the assembly district and the leaders of gangs, an estimate is made of the number of repeaters' to be furnished The re peaters' are then gathered at some central pIace-often the assembly dis trict club house-and sent out through the election districts in squads of ten or twelve under a lieutenant This lieutenant has some token or high sign'-a peculiar button or motion of the hand-to show to the election dis trict captain. All business is trans acted between these two men.
 This voting proceeds on a regular schedule. In the morning the ficti- tious registration that it has been pos sible to get past the board of cleo tions. with the names of residents who have died. moved, or gone to jail, is usually voted. In the afternoon there is a general clearing up of the registration that has not previously been voted on. There are innumera- ble stories of the boldness of these 'repeaters.' For instance:
 Some years ago a middle-aged man, who is now an assemblyman from the East Side of New York, was standing in the line before an cleo tion booth, when he was startled to hear the man just ahead of him youth of some twenty years-de- mand a ballot in a familiar name.
 Here said one assemblyman, that's my fathers name
 The husky youth turned, glaring down upon him, then kicked him sharply in the shins.
 "'Shut up. you fool he said hoarse ly don't you know your own father?' He then proceeded to vote"

WANT BILLY TOLECIURE
Expect Postmaster Gostlin
to Blossom Out as
Chautauqua Speaker.

The United States postal officials get
some queer notions. One of them Is
that Postmaster w. H. Gostlin Is a
lecturer. Now, Billy Gostlin knows a
thing or two about the postoff1ce and
II YOU should ask him upon which
side of a north and south business
street the lots are the most valuable,
he could doubtless tell you. but when
II comes TO Hanlyizing Gostiin, in other
words, to forcing him upon the lecture
platform. he draws the line
A short time ago the postoffice de-
partment recently sent out an order in
which it was stated that all post
masters were requested to assist the
educators in the cities in which they
are located in spreading a knowledge
of the postal laws among the school
children of the city.
The postmasters were requested to
go TO the various school in the city
and by the aid of a chalk talk or magic
lantern slides, instruct the school chill
dreu in the art of addressing letters
and in a thorough understanding OF
the postal laws.
All that saved Mr.. Gostlin from 8
career on the lecture platform was the
receipt today of number of little
booklets which contain all a person
ought to know on the subject Of pos
tai laws and which will be given to
the teachers of the various schools 50
that the information may be properly
disseminated.

INJURY
SUIT ON TRIAL
Mrs. P. Reilley Case, Suing
Nickel Plate Company
for $25, 900 Damages.
CASE TO JURY BY MONDAY
Many Hammond People Are Testi-
flying in LaPorte Superior
Court Today.

The personal injury suit OF Mrs. Pat
rick Reilley of this city against the
New York Central and st. Louis rail-
road, in with the Hammond woman
sues for $4,000 damages for injuries
sustained two years ago, is making
slow progress in the Michigan City
court.
1t is believed that the case will not
go to the jury before Monday. Judge
TuthiIl yesterday appointed Dr. o. L
Sutherland of Laporte and Dr. J. B
Rogers of this itY to make an exam
ination OF the complaining witness as
to her physical condition. and the ex-
animation was made at DR.. Rogers Of
Ace Tuesday evening. The appoint
ments were made on motion Of the de-
fendant, and they were chosen from
list of six names submitted to the
attorneys by the court. Each side
struck out two names.
The witnesses for the plaintiff have
all been eamined- Mrs. Reilley is stay

secured a room in the hospital.

Musical Hammond Hears The Great
Virtuoso And Signifies It's Enjoy
ment Of His Playing
PROF. C. {. SINOLINGER GIVES CRITIQUE OF AFFAIR
Several Unfortunate Incidents Detract from Audiences
Enjoyment of Program, and Artists Felt the
/. Conditions Keenly During the Evening.

Otto J. Meyer. the violin virtuso; hiy
sister, Miss Marie Meyer. a pianist OF
great ability, and Alexander Russell,
the accompanied. The concert was a
success and today Is acknowledged to
be one of the best musical treats that
it has been the good fortune of the
people of Hammond to hear.
While the attendance was not large,
there were probably 800 to 400 people
in the hall, and the audience. though
small, was a very appreoiative one-
The program was a well selected well
balanced one, and there was not a
time during the evening when his
hearers were not in full sympathy
with the musicians.
But, while the people of this city
could make very fair estimate of the
remarkable renditions of Mr.. Meyer.
they realized that he was playing un@
der difficulties last evening.
The opera house was SO cold that
many of those in the audience were
compelled to put on their coats during
the performances The musicians also
seemed to be suffering from the cold;
and there is no question that it inter
fered with the performance. Added
10 that WdS tAlS tde4N lne1l liAS J1AAtSA
could easily be heard in the basement
breaking up blocks of coal with a
sledge hammer
These sounds breaking in on the
choicest of Mr. Meyers selections
doubtless irritated him. AS a further
handicap people came in during the
entire performance and the ushers
walked about the house with heavy
steps ne of the ushers wore a sweat
er, which was in great contrast to a
large number Of the men. who were in
evening dress.
But in spite of these unpleasant
things the concert was thoroughly en-
joyed by all who attended and Otto
J. Meyer, the principal artist, came
up to all expectations.
At the reception, which was given
at the residence of DR.. and Mrs. II. c.
Groman, 2e Rimbach avenue. Mr.. Mey-
er rendered several complimentary se-
lections, and by personally coming in
contact with the people of this city,
proved to have a most pleasing and in
teresting personality.

LAUNCHED TONIGHT
Indications Are That Open

Good Attendance.
ALL ARE INVITED TO ATTEND
Some Fine Lectures Are in Prepare

and Much Care Is Spent.
ALL ARE INVITED TO ATTEND

Tonight is the night when Hammond
will witness the launching of the pub
lie library lecture course a movement
that will mark an epoch in the intel
lectual growth in the community
The indications are that there will
be good attendance which wishes to
elnd its support to this worthy cause.
The project was general topic of
conversation in many circles today. and
while the first lecture will not be de-
livered this evening, it Will add greatly
If the attendance is good one to-
night.
There has been some discussion as
to who shall have admittance. AS far
as the promoters are concerned, the
lecture course was conceived in a pub
lie spirit and will be for the public
generally The wider scope that II
will have in attendance and the more
classes of people who will attend, the
more of a success it will be. 1t ought
to prove boon to the man or woman
whose opportunities to hear such lee.
lures out of town or in Hammond wher
high admission is charged. are linn
tied. 1t will surely rebound to the
benefit and credit Of that class which
has all of these opportunities.
Excellent Lectures In Preparation
! Some very fine lectures are in prep.
aration and If some of those interested
| have their way, topics will be touched
| on which will be far-reaching in theii
effect. The idea in arranging the pro
| gram, which will have it's share of en-
tertainment. will be to provide some
thing for everybody.
The work tonight will be give1
| over to organization work and plan
! ming, and this will be the evening
when the Hammond man or woman
may register among what might D
