A COMMERCIAL CLUB
Griffith Keeps Abreast of
the Times - One
Meeting Held.
Especial to THE T1MEs.)

Griffith, Ind, Jan 12-Griffith is to
have a commercial club Progress and
push are not new words to the people
of Griffith. In the last four years,
since the town was taken from the
township and incorporated. more i'm
provements have been made in the way
of attractiveness and conveniences.
than had ever been made before in all
of it's previous existance. The laying
Of cement walks. paving of streets,
making new sewers and repairing old
and neglected ones. together with num-
erous other move sof similar import
ance have set strangers talking and
caused old mossbacks to come out Of
their shell and gasp.
1t is a common occurrence now to
hear people passing through town re-
mark: "Just keep your eye on this
place" And conservative investors who
never put their money into anything
but what they know to be perfectly
safe, are quietly gathering up all the
property they can get their hands on.
Realizing the great good their past
efforts have done the progressive men
of the town feel that they can do vast
ly more If they work together under
some well organized system For this
reason a mass meeting was called last
Friday evening in Harkenrider's hall
and an organization formed with B. B.
Potter as president and r. w. Love as
secretary. Next Friday evening an
other meeting will be held at which
! they will frame and adopt bylaws,
complete the league, and decide on
ways of procedure for the bettern.ent
of the town.
| No one viii be barred from Joining
these Business Boosters" and If their
plans materialize it will not be long
before there will be q noise here which
will make the folks look around.

Not So Very Precious.

A New York hotel Is going to have
en- gh gold dishes to serve dinner
of seven courses to rs persons. OF
course, this suggests moralizing on
prodigal luxury and illusions to Lu-
cullus and Apicius and also to Bel
shazzar. But there was time when
even kings dined from trenchers. The
introduction Of pewter was probably
denounced by the philosophers of the
day as prodigality, and while silver
is not commonly used for dishes from
which persons eat, it is in such gen.
eral use for the larger pieces and for
spoons, forks and drinking vessels
that the use of silver must represent,
as compared with the previous Gus
toms, about as great an increase of
expenditure as the use of a gold din
ing service does now. The precious
metals are not so precious as they
were once.-Philadelphia Record.

STEREOTYPED $3.50
CHANGED TO s12lO
An Increase of Twenty Cents Will be
Made in Each Case, and the Man
Out for thine" Hereafter, Must
Figure That Amount in His Ex-
pense Bill, or Serve Time.

The historic s11.9o fine which has
placidly stared the erring drunkard or
the petty Iawbreaker in the face when
brought before the Gary justices of
the peace, has now become thing Of
the past. Incidentally, the revenue of
the justices, in most cases, will be
slightly increased because of the fact
that they have now resolved to collect
every fee in every case to which they
are legally entitled.
Hereafter, If you get careless and in
dulge too freely, or become angry and
cannot resist the temptation to hit a
man, don't figure on $11.90. 1t would
be much safer to have a surplus than
an insuffciency If you desire to avoid
an unpleasant detention in Hotel Mar
tin"
For many months heretofore, ever
since the birth of Gary in fact, when a
man was arrested for q petty offense
he knew what his fine would be, ex-
cept when his case as surrounded by
extraordinary circumstances. Eleven
ninety became byword to every deni-
zen of the Patch" to every police
court lawyer, and to hundreds of others
in the city who were familiar with po-
lice affairs. The amount of the s11.90
consisted of fine of 81 and costs.
A Material Increase.
The judges have recently discovered
the fact that they are entitled to more
money than they are receiving for the
filing of bonds, granting changes OF
venue. ETC., which they had previously
overlooked. The raise in each case
may be said to average twenty cents
as great many of the fines are now
s12.10 which in tht aggregate is q
material increase over $11.9O.
To facilitate matters in the assess
Ement of the costs. each fee is ftemize6
on the envelope in which it is en-
closed and can be figured up almost al
quickly as the judges can inadvertent
lily pronounce the words Eleven nine
ty" In the future this method will b.
utilized exclusively.

LESSEN THE PRODUCTION
Falling off of Nearly Ten
Million Tons in Pig
Iron Trade.

Total production of pig iron in 1908.
according to the statistics collected by
the Iron Trade Review, amounted to
15.67s,03S tons, as compared with 25.
2s9,7 1872 tons in 1907. The decrease fg-
ures e,e920.699 tons, or S7.7 per cent.
The Improvement during the year is
shown by the fact that in the second
six months period the production was
S,SS9.57O tons. as against 6.7se.46 in
the first six months. From June to the
end of the year each month showed an
increase over the previous one in iron
production.
The blast furnace statistics for De-
cember show a production of 1,722,557
tons Of coke and anthracite pig iron,
spiege1 and ferro for the month. the
largest of any month in the year. The
gain over the November production was
1o4, 600 tons, or nearly 8 per cent The
steeI-making iron made 1.101.2s4 tons
of the total and the merchant iron
613.14s
The number of stacks now IN blast
is given as 400, and the blast capacity
of the country now operating is 55.6
per cent, as compared with 51.1 per
cent in November. The number of ae-
tive stacks was increased by nine in
November. Another stack at Gary has
started production.
Specifications for tin plates continue
good. and the mills of the American
Sheet and Tin Plate company are COM
fortably booked through the first quar-
ter of the year. The Laughlin plant
at Martins Ferry. containing twenty
three hot mills, has resumed, and the
Chester plant will start this week. It is
stated that the La Belle plant will also
resume this week. The Whittiker-
GIessner mill is idle this week for re-
pairs. Demand for sheets is rather
| quiet. The leading interest has had
a number of mills closed for the week
| for repairs and inventory. Next week
it is expected that the company will
| be operating 112 mills.

Sapphires and Sapphlra.


Artificial sapphires, such as those
just made in France, remind one, by
an inevitable association Of ideas, Of
Sapphire. Here is a striking instance
of the manner in which a name can
be killed once for all by one evil pos
SCISSOR thereof. Cain, Judas, Ananias
and Sapphire and intrinsically just as
attractive as other Biblical names that
have survived; but nobody bears
them. although Sapphire might, but
for the wife of Ananias, have been as
popular Christian name as Pearl or
Ruby. If Dorcas and Sapphire had
exchanged names, Sapphire societies"
would have been the title of many
charitable sewing circles to-day and
Dorcas would have been anathema

East Chicago, Ind, Jan. lib. ].
Chrzanowslki, the Whiting druggist, is
again in the tolls of the law and the
man who for the past two months has
been cited in justice, superior and fed
eraI courts, will be brought before
Judge w. A. Reiland in the trial case
in which the Liquid Carbonic company
Of Chicago are the plaintiffs. They
are represented by Attorneys Roe and
Meade. The Chicago corporation de-
mands the return to their factory of
a handsome $3.50 soda fountain which
has been In the possession of the drug
gist for the past two years. The Whit
ing man has long boosted of having the
finest soda fountain in Lake county
drug stores and has given out the i'm
preston that it belonged to him It's
removal from his stock by replevin
will leave but little in the Whiting
store, the building now having the ap-
pearance of that of a bargain counter

Must Answer to Charges.
Chrzanowski will appear before the
federal authorities on Thursday and
answer to the charge of selling liquor
without license. The Whiting man
failed to take out the usual govern
rnent license for the use Of alcoholic
stimu1ants in his prescriptions 1t is
said that there are other Whiting drug
gists who sell liquor in the rear rooms
of their stores and the prosecution of
their associate will likely have the eff
feet of making them more careful In
their observance of the law.
Solomon Recht.
Another Whiting man has also been
cited to appear before the federal court
at indianapolis. Solomon Recht, who
for years has been engaged in the
clothing business In Whiting, is made
the defendant in petition for involun-
| tary bankruptcy. The case was filed
in Indianapolis on Saturday'by the Fed
eraI Adjustment company, a Chicago
concern, who are represented in East
Chicago by attorneys Roe and Meade.
1t is claimed that the liabilities Will
reach at least $4,000 while the assets
are not believed to be much less than
| this amount.
For several days detectives from the
Marshall Field company and other Chi
cago stores have been seen in East
Chicago and Whiting endeavoring to
trace goods which they believe Recht
has secreted pending the outcome of
the Federal company's petition. These
goods consist mainly of expensive silks
which Recht has been given to sell
on commission. Recht now has neither
the silks or the money and the natural
conclusion is that they have been put
lin someone else's hands for safe-keep-
ing.

Rare FuIaurites on ExhIbItlon.

An interesting and valuable collec-
tion of fulgurites has recently been
mounted and placed on exhibition in
the Geological museum in Nassau
hall 1t comprises four specimens of
the rare CLASSY tubes produced by
lightning striking in sand or other
loose material which fuses along the
path of the current to form a natural
glass. The tubes are frequently quite
irregular in their course and often
branch downward. Outside they are
rough, more or less ridged and studded
with adhering sand grains, while the
inside is quite smooth and CLASSY from
the perfect melting of the sand.

x,ur Ear.Eluna Battle Line.

An illustration of how far "our far
flung battle line" is being extended
and strengthened is furnished by the
announcement that formal approval
has been given by the navy depart
ment for the building of the largest
drydock in the world. This dock, LOO
feet long and 10 feet wide, will be To-
Gated at Pearl harbor. Hawaii, where
the great naval base for the ships of
our Pacific fleet is to be constructed
and fortified. Its reported dimensions
will make this dock large enough to
accommodate two of the largest battle
ships Of the North Dakota class at the
same time, or three of the older bat
