should Be an Inspiration.
Mr.. Hammond's career in Hammond
is an inspiration to the younger gen
Grafton. He came to this city when it
was nothing more than village and
when no one ever dreamed that this
desolate waste of sand would ever be
the great municipality it is today.
He began business here by utilizing
the by-products of the G. II. Ham
mond company, then in its infancy, long
before it had been absorbed by the
trust.
He bought casing and trips and
manufactured them into saleable pro-
visions. Mr.. Hammond was the man
who first demonstrated the fact that
/ tripe is edible and that 1t has many
ingredients which greatly aid diges-
ton.
He finally became assistant superin-
| tendent of the G. H. Hammond COM
pany under Superintendent Fogg and
later under superintendent K. H. Bell.
In 1888 he and Fogg opened what was
known as Fogg and Hammond's first
and second additions to Hammond
which has since become very valuable
The land was located east of Ham
mond, along State street. Plummel
avenue and Sibley street.
Mr. Hammond was elected to con
! gress in 1892 for one term. He is one
of the few democratic congressman
who have been elected from this dis
trict and he was credit to the city
He was elected mayor Of Hammond IL
1887 and after that served three term!
of two years each He ran against NJ

GostIin and defeated them all. Hi
last majority was 800
When Patrick Kelley was elected
mayor of Hammond the democrats urg
ed Thomas Hammond, as matter o
civic duty, to become a candidate 70
councilman in his ward.
Proud of Civic Duty.
Notwithstanding the fact that MI
Hammond had been given the highes
honors that are at the disposal OF tn
party in this district, he felt it hi
patriotic duty to the city with which h
had been so closely identified, to do al

mond, Whiting and East
Chicago Unite.
MEMS CLUB TAKES UP TOPIC
Subject To Be Discussed Tomorrow
Night Is One of Absorbing
Interest.

Are the cities of Hammond, Whit
ing, East Chicago and Indiana Harbor
ready for amalgamation? The move

cities of the county. and it is expected
that at the meeting to be held under
the auspices of the Mems clubs Of the
cities affected. in the clubrooms of the
Hammond Athletic club in Hammond,

eventually lead to the action on the
part of the people of the three cities
affected and make the coming city the
greatest city in northwestern Indiana
The subject. which will be discussed
at the meeting tomorrow night, is one
/ of absorbing interest. The idea of hav-
/ ing one great city with one municipal
! government, one set of city officials,
one fire and police board, one boule-
ward and park system, one water sys-
tenn with a tunnel into the lake to
clear water, one great harbor. one sew

are hoping and praying Will be the
outcome of the present movement.

Harbor unite as one city If so, should
they do it now?" is the great question
that win be discussed. over fifty peo-
pie from the above mentioned cities
will be present and many of them vii
participate in the discussion.
: It has been said that there is every
reason for the amalgamation excepr
| that certain politicians win lose theil
r jobs. But the mayors of the cities at
: fected have been invited to speak, anC
2 1t is expected that even they will ris'
above the sordid self-interest in TIL
matter and urge amalgamation.
! The committee from the Mems club
q of the cities which to compose the pro

GET a GOOD LAUGH.

Those who witness the opening per-
Torrance Of That Stock company at
the Towle opera house tonight and
fail to get a good laugh. should at
once consult a doctor as assuredly
their anatomy is out of order. The com
edy is greatly in evidence from start
to finish, while the woes of the heroine,
the plot of the villain, and the stirring
work OF the hero have plenty of action
to a well written play. The stage set
tings are ample and true to life, and
while one shot is fred during the play,
the dramatic interest never lags, but
moves swiftly and surely to a finish.
Matinees will be given. Ladies free on
Monday night under the usual condi-
lions.

"Time, Place and Girl" De-
lights Big Audience, Who
Want It Again.
OLD FAvORITE STRONG AS EVER
Show Comes to Hammond From
South Bend and Goes to Kala-
mazoo This Morning.

The Time. Place and Girl came to
Hammond last evening and made
great hit The play was greeted by
a good house, and Manager d. NJ. Nye
was very much pleased with the recep-
ton the public gave this hrst-class
production.
One of the noticeable things about
the crowd was the fact that it was
composed of people from East Chicago,
Whiting, Indiana Harbor and South
Chicago. This is just the end that Mr..
Nye is working for. To convince the
people of this region that if they will
patronize his house he will provide
them with as good attractions as can
be found in many of the Chicago the
aters.
The Time, Place and Girl was full
of clean, wholesome, humor and the
comedy furnished by John f. Young
in the role of Happy Johnny Hicks
and E. Colt Albertson, as Tom Gun
ningham, who played the part of a
gambler and a rich mans son, respec-
lively. was of the highest order.
Chorus Makes Hit.
The chorus was composed of as pref.
ty girls as have been seen in a choru:
in Hammond. and the song hits, while
little threadbare from long use, were
nevertheless well received.
Manager Nye stated this morning
that the balcony and the gallery wer
all sold out, and there were only
few seats on the main floor. The fac
may not be generally known that tn
seats sold at Towle's Opera House 70
81 on the main floor when this attrac
ton will not appear anywhere else ia
less than a dollar and a half.
The show came to Hammond fror
South Bend, and left this morning 70
Kalamazoo. OF course, the old tim
song hits, such as BLOW the Smok
Away and Its Lonesome Tonight,
brought down the house.
The costumes worn by the show girl
were fresh and bright, considering tn
fact that the show has been on tn
road for great many years, and
} must be said that if any of those VIII
) went expected to see some worn lot
shoddy costumes just because the sho-
is an old one, they were agreeably dis
! appointed.

INFANT WITH A REC
ORD FOR RELATIONS
Small Girl Represents the Fifth
Generation and Has Eleven
Living Grandparents.

DANVILLE, Ind, Oct. 15.-The
infant daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Rollo Parker Of Hendricks county,
Mary Margaret, has a record of
relatives unequaled in Indiana. She
represents the fifth generation of
her family that is yet living, and
she has eleven grandparents liv-

Mrs. James Kibby of Advance,
while DR.. and Mrs. Burke of the
same place have the honor of be-
ing her grandparents. Mrs. Jacob
Kendall of Lizton is also her great
grandmother.
1t is difficult to trace all the II
branches of her family tree. The
combined ages of the five gener-
ations in direct line Total some
thing over two hundred years. The
new arrival, who is now but 10
days old, have already received
messages from her many relatives
and it is probable that within a
short time a family reunion will
be arranged, when, If possible, all
the fond Observation-Disclosures,
together with the grandparents
and other near kinfolk, will gather
for general mutual admiration

If you will get from your pharma-
cist a 50-cent case of Pape's Dia-
pepsin you could always go to the
table with hearty appetite, and
your meals would taste good, be-
cause you would know there would
be no Indigestion or Sleepless

or liver pills to keep your stomach

more than sufficient to thoroughly

the same month, scarcely recover
ed after their long sufferings. 7
The first care of Clawbonny was
to request the Royal Geographical
society to receive communication
from him. One can imagine the
establishment of the learned assem-.
bly, and the enthusiastic applause
when he read Hatteras' document.
The English have passion for
geographical discovery, from the
lord to the cockney, from the mer-
chant down to the dock laborer,
and the news Of this grand discov-
cry speedily flashed along the tele.
graph wires, throughout the king
dom. Hatteras was lauded as q
martyr by all the newspapers, and
every Englishman felt proud OF
him.
The doctor and his companions
had the honor of being presented
to the queen by the lord chan
cellor, and they were feted and
"lionized" in all quarters.
The government confirmed the
names of Queens island" Mount
Hatteras' and "Altamont harbor."
Altamont would not part from his
companions, but followed them to
Liverpool, where they were joyous
ly welcomed back, after being so
long supposed to be dead and
buried beneath the eternal SHOWS.
But DR.. Clawbonny would flever
allow that any honor was due to
himself. He claimed all the merit
| of the discovery for his unfortu-
nate captain, and in the narrative
| of his voyage, published the next
year under the auspices OF the
Royal Geographical society, he
! placed John HaieMs on leve!
with the most illNstrious naviga.
tors, and made him the compeer OF
all the brave. daring men who have
, sacrificed themselves for the prog.
ress of science.
The insanity of Captain Hatteras
was of a mild type, and he lived
quietly at Sten cottage, private
asylum near Liverpool, where the
, doctor himself had placed him. lie
never spoke, and understood moth
ing that was said to him; reason
and speech bad fled together. The
| only tie that connected him with
the outside world was his friend
! ship for Duke, who was allowed to
remain with him.
For a considerable time the cap
| tain had been in the habit of walk
ing in the garden for hours, accom-.
panied by his faithful dog, who
watched him with sad, wistful
eyes, but his promenade was al,
ways in one direction in particll-
| lar part of the garden. When be
got to the end of this path he
would stop and megin to walk back
wards. If anyone stopped him ~-i3s
would point with his finger to
certain part of the sky, but let any
| one attempt to turn him round, and
he became angry, while Duke, as II
| sharing his masters sentiments,
would bark furiously.
The doctor, who often visited his
afflicted friend, noticed this
