"The Seminary Girls"

The local talent entertainment
SEMINARY Girls" presented by St.
Marks church society at the opera
house on Thursday and Friday even
ings of last week was a meritorious
production, all performing their parts
well, especially the children. The at
tendance was not as large as could
have been wished. One thing that
seems to work against a show of this
kind here seems to be the fact that by
far the greater part of the proceeds
goes to the promoter instead of enrich
ing the object for which the play is
put on. A local talent entertainment
is hard proposition at best and the
proceeds thereof ought to be available
for the object for which the show is
put on, and not go entirely into the
pockets of strangers.
At the Churches.
Mothers day was observed at the
Congregational and Methodist churches
here Sunday. The subject of DIR.
Flagg's sermon was Motherhood as a
Calling" Nearly everyone wore a
white carnation in honor of his mother.
The topic of the morning sermon at
the Methodist church was Jesus Christ
and the labor question. The attend
ance at the Sunday schools of both
churches has been very good all the
year. While vacation time always
diminishes the attendance it is to be
hoped that all will continue to come
who can.
At the Congregational church Sun
day evening the time was given to five
minute addresses regarding a mothers
influence, D. M. Camp. C. F. Ranney,
VIM. Richmond and W. H. Clement
speaking. Rev. Mr.. Lance of the
Methodist church spoke on the subject
"a Working Girls Promotion" being
continuance of his series of sermons
on 1.-The Heroines of the Kingdom. -
Following is paragraph from the
weekly calendar of the Methodist
church in connection with Mothers
day which seems to merit reprinting
at is splendid, this movement to
pay tribute to the mothers of the
past, the world owes them a debt it
can never pay. But young man, young
woman, whoever and wherever on are,
if you have a mother now, TO-DAY
lay your offering of love and apprecia-
ton at her feet. Before the shadows
lengthen and the day is gone take her
in your arms and tell her that you ap-
preciate her love, loyalty and sacri-
fees. Your reward shall be great
for it will bring smile of unutterable
content to her face, and in her heart
there will reign JOY and peace. which
will invigorate her whole soul and give
hope and joy in the midst of the sun
set glow"

FIGHT PROMOTER
UNDER ARREST

Cal Harris, the fight promoter, who
is well known in Hammond and popu-
lar with the prize lighting contingent in
West Hammond, is in serious trouble
in Chicago. according to newspaper
stories published today in Chicago.
Harris, whose occupation has brought
him into this locality many times, was
arraigned yesterday before Municipal
Judge Blakt in the Harrison street
court on a charge of obtaining money
under false pretenses. Sixty dollars is
the amount involved and a Hammond
man by the name of George Gould is
asserted to be the prosecuting witness.
Gould alleges Harris obtained $50 from
him to aid in staging a bout After
signing a contract, it Is alleged, Harris
failed to stage the bout and to return
Gould's money. Harris denies the
charge The case was continued until
tomorrow.
No one in Hammond seems to kno-
Gould or to have his acquaintance. 1t
was only recently that the Caponi-An-
derson bout fell through in West Ham
mond because of an accident to Ander-
sons hand. and at that time Harris was
acting as Caponfs manager. but as far
as local prize fight promoters are con
cerned thty claim TO know nothing OF
Harris getting any money out of the
game that night Con Moor of West
Hammond says he has his doubts
whether Harris has ever been out here
since.

ful, they being burned about the hands
