Very few Hammond people realize
the Importance TO this community of
Hirsch- Stein & Co. whose plant is over
in West Hammond. Work has Just
been begun on a $4,000 warehouse,
which is to be built for the fertilizer
department. and is being constructed
Of reinforced concrete.
Those who have seen the Hammond
plant of Hirsch Stein & co. say that
a person would hardly know the place
there because Of the many improve
ments during the past year
Hirsch-Stein & Co. are now said to
employ between 500 and 400 men, and
the village of West Hammond is great
ly benefited by the employment that
is given a large number OF men by this
company.
The fact that new fertilizer ware
house is under construction and that
other improvements are contemplated
in the near future. is an indication Of
the rapid progress that is being made
by this company.

tion to the Hammond members of the
Mystic Shrine through the courtesy of
Elias ]. Jacoby of Murat Temple, In
dianapolis
This dispensation will be conveyed
to the Hammond brethren tonight af-
ter one of the most elaborate banquets
that have ever been served in this city.
Chicago caterers have been employed
to lay out the repast and at ten o'clock
this morning a great caravan of sew
eral large wagons was started out from
Chicago bringing to this city the good
things that are to be served to the elect
for their So per- this evening.
Over One Hundred Present.
In all it is expected that there will
be 10 Shriners present at the ban
quet. Provision has been made for 103
but at the last minute word was re-
oeived that there We're at least five IN
dianapolis Shrners who would be pres
ent and so they will have to be cared
for.
The receipt of the special dispense
tion which will enable the Hammond
and Northern Indiana Shriners to so
ahead with the work of organizing a
shrine is the greatest event that has
ever taken place in Masonry in Ham
mOnd.
The way was paved for this event by
the initiation of the 10t class a year
ago and even the most enthusiastic OF
the local Shriners hardly dared believe
at that time that Hammond would have
a shrine of its own a year hence.
BANQUET A FINE AFFAIR.
The banquet this evening will be the
finest affair that was ever held in Ham

INVENTORS COUNCIL
IS APPROVED ALSO
Stock Company to Be Organized by
Subscription Committee With IN
derstanding That Site Purchased is
Not Given Away But Bought at a
Moderate Price.

That the Hammond Business Mems
association is rapidly developing into
one of the most enterprising organi-
cations of the kind in this part of the
state was demonstrated last evening
when $1,000 was subscribed by num-
Der of the business men of the city for
the purpose of buying piece of ground
and erecting thereon a factory for the
use of any concern which will locate
here.
The idea is that the city of Ham
mond can then advertise that it has a
fine location for factory ready for
any concern that will locate and pay
a reasonable amount for it and there
will be large number Of small indus
tries attracted to this city.
The idea appealed to the business
men last night at the meeting of the
advertising committee, the manufactur-
ers committe and the board Of direct
ors of the Business Mems association
there was $500 subscribed in the
twinkIing OF an eye.

SURRENDER
ENDS BAYONNE FIGHT.
Agree to Indorse the County
Ticket.

BAYONNE, Oct. 25.-What promised
to be a bitter fight between ~organiza-
ton Republicans here, headed by Mayor
and Prosecutor Pierre p. Garven, and
the Progressive element in Jersey City,
of which George L.. Record Is the
leader, has been averted by the fol-
lowers of Garven consenting to support
the Progressive county and Assembly
ticket. The organization leaders have
concluded to indorse the county ticket
and Record was informed that the Pro-
gressive candidates will be welcomed at
the meetings in Bayonne.
1t had been given out that the organ
ization proposed hustling for their can
didate for Mayor, Carrot l.. Post, and
the other local nominees, and sidetrack
the county ticket. Record and other
Progressives learned of this and threat
ened to go to Bayonne, work for their
candidates and make things interesting
for the organization. Then a truce was
declared. The Democrats feel confident
of electing John J.. Cain, their candl-
date for Mayor, as well as enough mem-
bers of the Council to control that
board.

PLEADS WITH WIFE
HE DIVORCED TO RETURN.
Offers to Give Her 100000
for Reconciliation.

LONDON, Oct. 25.-All England is
astounded today by the attitude taken
by J.. M. Barrie, the famous writer. in
his divorce case. Barrie was granted
a decree against his wife, and this was
entered or the records two weeks ago.
1t would nave been absolute within
thirty days from the time It was filed
had there been no %reopening of the
case, but 1t is now said that Barrie is
doing everything within his power | o
keep the courts verdict from standing.
Barrie has suddenly reversed his posi-
ton, and is trying in every way pos
sible to regain his wife. He has writ
ten her letters without number, and
in AFFECT establishment has declared
that he was entirely wrong in their
quarrel.
Barrie offers to settle 100000 on his
wife, take a trip around the world, or
do anything else she asks, If she will
return to him. He seems to count his
possessions as naught compared with
the woman he has lost, and appears
unable to find consolation for h loss
in men, women or his, work.
The wife has been un~responsive. SO
far to the pleas of her famous hus-
band, and it Is believed that she is well
satisfied to let the divorce stand. Ac-
cording to reports which are given gen
eral credence, her affections are now
placed upon the handsome young dra-
matte critic of a London papers

THE APPLE CELLAR.
How to Make and to Keep II
Neat and Sweet as II Should Be.

The apple cellar should be the tidiest
and sweetest corner of the house. Moth
ing else should ever be stored in H.. Its
walls should be at least twenty inches
thick and it should ha, abundant
light. All summer it should be open to
draughts of air and kept rec of any
decay.
There should be no mouldy boards nor
any smell of mildew; in other words.
the air should be fit to breathe. When
the apples are stored the draught should
be stopped and when steady cold sets
in you should shut the cellar tight and
let 1t stay tightly closed until May.
You can place such a cellar as this
conveniently under part OF your barn
or under your carriage house. say Out
ing, only there should be no stable adj
~jacent. The floor overhead should be
covered with autumn leaves spread
thickly to prevent any change of atmos-
phere below. The thermometer all vim
ter should stand at about 3S-just above
freezing. Put your apples in shallow
bins. cement the floor to keep out rats
and If barrels are used set them up
somewhat from the floor.

SONS OF REVOLUTION
UNVEIL RED BANK TABLETS,
Patriotic Exercises Mark Cele-
bratiOn of British Defeat.

WOODBURY., Oct. 25.-Four tablets
on the state monument have just beer
unveiled by the New Jersey
Society Sons of the Revolution. 1t
was just 1872 years ago that the Battle
of Red Bank, In which 400 American
soldiers defeated 1000 British regulars,

The unwilling took place in the pres
ence of about 300 people. General AL
fred A. Woodruff, of Princeton, vice.
president of the society, presided. John
Whitall. a direct descendant Of the old
Whitall family. pulled the cord which
released the four flags covering the
tablets.
Not a single member of the Board of
Freeholders was at the ceremony, not

seen, and only n of the persons whose
names are on the old tablet was there.

STAR CLASSIFIED ADS ARE BEST.
ROTH SIDES CLAIM VICTORY
IN BIG COUNCIL FIGHT.
Hot Contest Promised in PrediC-
tiOns of Party Leaders.

With the Republicans claiming at
least nine wards of the city and the
Democrats claiming twelve, the fight
over the elections to the Common
Council this ear promises as hot a
contest in local politics as has been
seen in the city in some years. Should
the Republican forecast come true, it
would give the party twenty in the
Council in 1910, as there will be eleven
holdover aldermen, as against twelve
for the Democrats. On the other hand,
should the twelve wards on which the
Democratic party bases its hopes re-
turn Democratic aldermen, that party
will have seventeen members In the
Council, a majority of two.
Nine is the least the Republicans are
looking for, however. The Fourth,
Tenth and Fourteenth wards they be-
lieve are debatable ground, and they
say that they are fairly sure of ten
Others Democratic leaders are basing
their hopes on the fact that the Re-
publicans were able to only get six
teen out of the t~hirty-two aldermen
when Taft was running last year.
The wards claimed BY the Repub-
Leans are the First, Second. Third,
Sixth. Eighth, Ninth, Eleventh, Thir-
teenth, Fifteenth and Sixteenth. They
also have hopes of the Fourth, Tenth
n Fourteenth. on the other hand,
the Democrats declare that their party
will carry the First, Second, Third,
Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Tenth,
Twelfth, Thirteenth. Fourteenth and
Fifteenth.

FORT BARS PUBLICITY ON
STATE INSPECTION TOUR.
Visits to Institutions to Be Made
PRIVATELY.

Publicity will be avoided by the Gov
ernor in his inspection of h institu-
lions supported either wholly of In part
by the State, If his wishes In the mat
ter are observed. He feels that il he
visits the places with newspaper cor
respondents, after his intentions have
been made public, 1t will destroy much
of the good which he hopes will grow
out of the trips. He has not even an
bounced when or where he will make
his first visit. but, as it is known that
he will not be at the State House until
after noon tomorrow, instead of in the
morning, as usual. it is thought that
n of the institutions ON his list will
have been visited in the meantime. !
The Governor announced in an inter-
view last night that he would take nc
part in the local campaign, as far as
speaking for the candidates was con-
cerned.
II do not want to take any part in
local contests" he said. 81 want the
mthhicipal officials as Mayor Haussling,
of Newark. and Mayor Wittpenn. OF
Jersey City, apparently feel, and come
to me as Governor of the whole State
for help or conference. If l went into
a city and made a speech where one OF
these men was running it would be
absolutely wrong. Mayor Haussling
and Mayor Wittpenn are both Demo-
Gratis, and 1 value their confidence"
Governor Fort and his family will
return to East Orange today to resume
their residence at the Edgemere. They
have BEEF staying for the past two
months at their Spring Lake home.

HARMLESS SNAKES.

Even in foreign countries there are
snakes which are quite harmless. and
1t is about one Of these snakes that a
story has been told by a gentleman,
who once went to a country In Gen.
trail America called Nicaragua.
This gentleman was near h house
Of a farmer who grew bananas for a
living, and he was astonfshed to see a
big snake. no less than twelve feet
long, creeping about the ground and
popping in and out of the huts in
which the farm men lived.
The gentleman pointed the snake out
to the farmer, and said. Look at that
big boa owe therei1
The banana farmer looked at the
snake, and then laughed. Why" he
said, nobody would think of harming
him. He is perfectly harmless to any
one, and he keeps the place clear Of
mice and moIes, which eat the roots
of my young banana trees"
Fancy having a snake twelve feet
long to catch mice! If your pussy cat
knew, wouldn't It be surprised?
