Base Ball.

1t is hardly necessary to say that there
were no ball games in town Saturday.
The weather throughout the week has
been such that the team at the high
school has made little or no progress
and sore arms are making life miserable
for number of the players. Next Sat,
urday Paris High School is scheduled to
play Norway High School on the fair
grounds and it will no doubt be a game
we'll worth seeing. Norway has Won
both games II has played this season and
is showing more than usual strength.
The Paris team has been changed about
great deal since its first game and is
expected to show considerable more
strength in its next game. 1t is prob
able their freshman pitcher Todd
Lowell will start the game in the box
with Capt. Cutting on third. Rawson ia
now playing second base and Haggett
has been moved over to short. The out.
field positions are not settled but will
probably go to the best batters. 1t is
hoped there will be large number out
to support the team. The feeling be-
tween the two schools is very friendly
but the rivalry is as great as ever and
each team will make every honest effort

Odd Fellowship Anniversary.

An interesting and entertaining pro-
gramme was given last Monday evening
at Odd Fellows Hall, at the observance
of the ninetieth anniversary Of Odd Eel
lowship in America, by Mt. Mica Lodge
and Mt, Pleasant Rebekah Lodge. Not
less than two hundred and fifty members
of the lodges and their families and in
vited guests were present. The officers
of the lodge were at their stations, Noble
Grand j. E. Murch presiding.
Music by the Swastiks Orchestra open.
ed the programme, and the brief formal
exercise laid down for this anniversary
occasion was then presented. Following
this was an address by Grand Warden
Frank Miller of Rockland. Mr.. Miller
disclaimed any ability to make speech,
and preferred to talk, which he did to
good effect. While his talk was to some
extent rambling, 1t was very interesting,
and showed steadfast devotion to Odd
Fellowship.
w. Fessenden of Mechanic Falls was
then introduced to give reading. He
has read here twice before during this
season, and the applause which greeted
the announcement Of his name was sufh
cient evidence that be is appreciated. He
has style of his own, and his selections
largely on the humorous order, are
hugely entertaining. He read several
times during the evening, and each time
responded to an enthusiastic recall.
A song by little Master Elmer Dear
was exceedingly we'll sung, and the au
dience gave him hearty applause.
The remainder Of the two hours pro
gramme included music BY the orchestra
q piano duet by Misses Morton and Dean
two songs by F. S. Pike, a reading b,
Frank L. Starbird, and brief remarks ap
propriate to the occasion by Rev. Messrs
J. d. Little, T. N. Kewley, J. w. Ches.
bro and A. T. McWhorter, all of which
was very enjoyable and we'll received b!
the audience.
Ice cream, sherbet, cake and fancy
crackers were served after the pro
gramme, and a social hour closed
pleasant evening.

tunities. he paid high tribute to the
proud record of the town of Paris,
especially in the men it has sent out all
over the country.
The programme was closed by Rev. A.
T. McWhorter, in q brief speech which
sparkled with real Irish wit. He de-
clared that it Is nonsense to say that the
minister is losing his hold upon the peo-
pie, and asserted that minister who is
real man devoted to bis work has as
great power as ever. From a purely
selfish business point Of view, without
going beyond that, he said, the work of
the minister is of value to every class in
the community, to the employer and the
employed, to the seller and the buyer
alike.

LOTUS LILY
IS FOUND IN
The MAUMEE

The distinction claimed for the Calu-
met river that it was the only place
in America, where the famous Egyptian
lotus grows, is disputed by a Ham
mond man, who asserts that the flower
grows in abundance in the Maumee
near Toledo. o., and also in the bay at
Monroe, Mich.
Although the people of Hammond
took great deal of pleasure in believ-
Ing that the Calumet was the only
place in this country where the lotus
lily grew. there is some satisfaction in
knowing that somewhere else in the
United States there is other streams
just like our own dear old Calumet
Residents of this region believed that
they were not too modest in believing
that no where else in the country could
river be contaminated by such a mix
ture of ingredients as is contributed by
the factories and other industries along
its banks. They thought this was pc
culiar enough to warrant the growth of
such peculiar variety of flowers.
In any event, even if there are several
other places in this country where this
rare specimen grows, it is safe to say
that the product of the Calumet river
will always control the Chicago market
where. for the past few days, the resi-
dent have been glad to pay % cents a
piece for the flowers.

Former Hammond Man
Meets With Shocking
Death at sedalia, Mo-, and
Relatives Here Receive
Word This Morning.

]. w. Slater of 3S2 Indiana avenue re-
ceived word this morning that his
brother, H ]. Slater, had been killed to-
day on a railroad at Sedalia, Mo The
telegram which he received stated
briefly that his brother had been killed
but the particulars We're not given.
When asked about the matter this
morning Mr.. Slater said that he had
been notified of his brothers death AS
to the particulars he said that he had
not been informed how the accident
happened, and that he had nothing to
verify the report outside of the tele-
gram.
Is Wei Remembered.
H. J. Slater Will be remembered well
by many people of Hammond and es-
pecially by the employees of the Gibson
yards, where he was employed for over
a year and a half. This spring he left
for the west, where he went to seek
employment at the time that the fnan-
cial depression made work scare in this
region.
A short time ago Mr.. Slater said that
he had received word from his brother
at St. Louis, Mo, in the shape of a
postal card, and he supposed he was
still in that city, until he received word
today that he had been in Sedalia, where
he was killed. The relatives in Ham
mond are anxiously awaiting further
news from that city in the hope that
the report may not be true.

PRAISE
FROM A
DEMOCRAT

Attorney Joseph Conroy, who has
just returned from the east. where he
had spent some time on business mis-
sion, came back with a compliment for
Congressman Crumpacker, which is
doubly worth while coming from a
good democrat like Joseph Conroy. He
had occasion to spend some time in
Washington in the closing days of the
tariff session and speaking about Con-
gressman Crumpacker's work he said:
Congressman Crumpacker is a pow
er in Washington. He is respected
there and he comes out of this tariff
fight with clean hands. 1 never realized
the prestige that that man has until
got to Washington and saw him in
the thick of the battle there If we
must send republican to congress, or
the senate. let US send a man there who
is a real representative"

DARK STREAK

a cyclone was bearing down upon the

When the dark cloud finally did sweep
up to the group of spectators il
''swished" by at such a gait that only
a conjecture could be made of what
the object really was. Late this after
noon, however. THE TIMES was able to

SWANTON
SAYS STRIKE
IS SETTLED

The strike at the Hammond Glue
works is now entirely settled. Super
intendent Thomas Swanton announced
today that he had granted every de-
mand of the laborers at the plant and
that all of the men had been taken back
on Saturday and Monday. The total
number of strikers amounted to forty
two, and the number of men affected by
the increase in wages is seventy.
The laborers in the industry who
formerly received 10 and 16 cents an
hour now get II and 17k cents, re-
spectively, and the boys who formerly
received by IS cents have been raised
one cent an hour.
All but two of the former strikers
have returned to work, and these the
company will not take back because of
personal differences. A large part of
the men resumed their old places Sat
urday. but many of them not knowing
that the strike had been settled did not
get back until yesterday morning
The strike at the Hammond Glue
works was peaceful throughout the
controversy Mr.. Swanton today not
only comedies that the men have won
their fight, but gives them credit for
conducting a peaceful campaign for
higher wages.
Although there were forty-two men
on strike" said Mr.. Swanton today,
we were enabled to continue in opera
ton with reduced forces pending the
settlement. 1 gave all of the men all
that they asked for and they willingly
went back to work. Seventy of our
men viii be effected by the Increase in
wages"
The strike Of the laborers was called
last Wednesday and since that time,
although they have been watching the
progress of events at the work closely.
they have not interfered with the men
who remained at work There has been
no violence Of any character.
