BANQUET or 4. A. A.
IS A GREAT SUCCESS

The banquet in the Masonic temple
last night, given by the new members
who have Joined the Hammond Athletic
association during the recent campaign
for members, was a decided success, and
the general feeling among those pres
ent was TO repeat the banquet on a
much larger scae in the Hammond
Athletic association club rooms.
The occasion proved to be very en-
Pertaining one, and some interesting
talks were made by prominent speak
ers. To start the entertainment a
quartet of local boys rendered a very
pleasing song. Mayor Becker and T. r.
Schaaf., Jr., spoke on the success and
general advantages of the club. May
or Becker. in his talk. stated that the
people of Hammond should stand back
of the club and that during his pres
ent administration he has been forced
to spend some of his time in physical
training.

WILL RULE
On MOTION
THIS P. N.
Especial to THE T1MEg)

Crown Point. Ind. May 1s.-The en-
tire morning has been consumed in the
Lake circuit court in the arguments on
a motion for a plea in abatement made
by the defense in the cases in which
Attorneys Matthews and Bruce are
seeking to mandate Mayor T. E. Knots
of Gary to send Matthew Mcbride and
James Rogers to jail.
The case arose after Mayor Knots
of Gary had given some of his saloon
keeper friends the immunity bath, which
which resulted in the suspension of the
jail sentence.
The case is being heard before Spe-
cial Judge l. V. Cravens of Hammond
The contention in support of the mo-
ton for a plea in abatement. made by
the defense, is that only the attorney
general of the state of Indiana or his
deputy, and not every Tom, Dick and
Harry can begin an action to mandate
the mayor to issue the mittimus in
these cases.
1t is alleged that the action must

WHITFIELD
CHANGED
HIS MIND

August whitfield, a grocer on the
north side. was arrested on the charge
of assault and battery on the complaint
of his wife and taken to Judge
Frank d. Prests court. where he was
fined 81 and costs for the offense.
Whitfield was so incensed at his wife
for causing his arrest that he in
formed her that he was going to all
and stay out his fine. He said that If
she wanted to disgrace them by her
actions he would make the disgrace all
the greater by staying in Jail.
A number of friends came to his res
cue and offered to pay his fine. but
WHITFIELD was obdurate, and said that
he was going to jail. SO the mittimus
was finally issued and the constable
was authorized TO take the north side
grocer to crown Point to jail.
He was taken to Crown Point, and in
the meantime his friends made a des
perate >~ort to dissuade him from his
purpose He stated, however that he
was going to get even with his wife,
and that she would have to bear the
brunt of the disgrace.
The constable arrived at the county
jail in due time, and Whitfield was TAX

the privilege to come in either on Sib-
ley or State streets. with the provision
that the company must then use the

In the amendment of section in the
original franchise, Mr.. Markmueller
asks that the words except Sundays
be omitted on the ground that other
wise this clause could be construed to
read that the company shall operate its
cars from 6 o'clock In the morning
until 12 o'clock midnight of each day,
except Sundays. An additional amend

When You "See Stars"

The man who when struck violently
on the head says he saw stars" is not
far from telling the truth. The fact
is that there is a phosphorescent pow
er in the eye which does not attract
persons attention under ordinary con-
ditions. but which is distributed and
reveals itself whenever the head gets
q sudden shock and sometimes even
in the act of sneeZing. A blow on the
head results in pressure of the blood
vessels upon the retina. causing either
total darkness or a faint blue light
which floats before the eyes. and it is
in this faint blue light the imagination
discerns the thousands of fantastic
forms and figures that by general ac-
ceptance are termed stars: hence.
while the astronomical display so fire.
quently mentioned may be said to be
entirely a creature Of the imagination.
there is at least some foundation for
the idea. The true nature of the SEN
sation is never very apparent. even to
the victim, for the simple reason that
it is invariably experienced under cir
cumstances which render searching
retrospective investigation out of the
question.

The Back of a Glove.

The meaning Of the three marks on
the back of glove and the clocks on
stocking were two of the little mys-
teries of dress explained at lecture
on clothes in London. The lecturer
said that the three marks on the back
of glove correspond to the fourchette
pieces between the fingers, and in old
en- days these pieces were continued
along the back of the hand, braid be-
ing used to conceal the seams. A
somewhat similar origin was assign
ed to the ornamental clock on the
stocking In the days when stockings
we're made of cloth the seams came
where the clocks do now, the orna
mentation then being used to hide the
seams. The useless little bow in the
leather band lining mans hat is
survival Of the time when hat was
made by taking piece Of leather, bor-
ing two holes through it and drawing
it up with a piece of string.

An Odd Nuqqet of Gold.

There have been many large and
oddly shaped gold nuggets found in
the United States and elsewhere, but
the oldest of them all was that dis.
covered at the Midhas mine. on Sulky
gully, near Melbourne, Australia. in
1887. The nugget was fiat and almost
the exact counterpart in contour of a
colossal human hand held open. with
the exception of the thumb and fore
finger, which were closed together in
manner so as to make it appear that
the thumb was holding the finger in
place. Its greatest length was twelve
and half inches and its greatest
breadth eight inches. 1t was of the
very purest gold. with but little of
foreign substances adhering. mostly
between the FINGERS" and weighed
GIT ounces. 1t was found in the north
west main drive of the Midhas mine,
12O feet below the surface of the earth
and at spot only fifty feet from
where the famous Lady Brassey mug
get was discovered the year before. 1t
weighed tifty-one pounds Of pure gold.
