ina Steam Engine.

The Marquis of Worcester while in
 ,,isoned in the Tower of London iu i656 invented and constructed a per feet steam engine and had it publicly exhibited the same year it VauXhan in successful operation. Thirty-fouT years later, in 1890, Dennis Papin add .d the piston to the marquis discovery In 1898 Captain Savary devised and built steam engine different in many details from those made by Worcester and Papin, and in 1705 Newcomb, Caw- ley and Savary constructed their cele- brated atmospheric engine, which was complete in every detail. The above array of historical facts notwithstand- ing, James Watt, who was not born until sixty years after these great men had given the steam engine to the world, enjoys the distinction of being the veritable inventor, originator and author of the most useful contrivance of the present day. Fulton, who lived and worked in the early part of the nineteenth century, is given the credit of being the man who demonstrated that steam could be applied to naviga- tion-this, too, in face of the well known historical fact that De Gary propelled a vessel by steam in the har' bor of Barcelona in 1543.-St James Gazette.

WHO IS TO
PAY FOR
HORSE?

The responsibility for the mainten-
ance of the Kennedy avenue bridge at
the Grasselli works is evidently a NUT
ed question between the cities of Ham
mond and East Chicago, Judging from
a question of municipal liability-that
arose in the Hammond city council last
evening.
l. NJ Allen put in a bill for s55 to
the city council last night, asking
reimbursement to that extent because
he had to shoot his horse. which on
June 10 broke a leg when it fell
through hole in the bridge The
Hammond city limits in this territory
follow the south bank of the Grand
Calumet river, now the question arises
whether the city's rights extend to the
middle of the stream and whether this
carried with the responsibility for the
south half of the bridge.
The question was referred to the city
attorney.

The storm had been brewing for a
week. and was precipftated when ia

friend of Mr.. Carroll and as staunch an
Irishman as the "ould sod produces.
could see nothing in the action OF
superintendent Kasper. who. by the
way, has as much German blood in
him as Kane has Irish, but a prejudice

prominent German. for upholding Su-

WALK WILL SEND
OUT POSTAL CARDS

Jack Walker has decided to have
postal cards sent out to all of the
Hammond business men who will have
automobiles in the party which will go
to the Cubs ball park on July IL. urg-
ing them to come around and sign up
for tickets of admission
Yesterday he issued a notice in the
newspa pers for them to come around
and make final arrangements for the
big automobile parade, but only few
came around.
They do not seem to appreciate the
fact that it is necessary for the man
agement to know exactly how many
tickets are needed before a block of
seats can be reserved
If there are too many tickets or
dered they will be left on the hands of
the local business men and If there
are not enough some one who wants
to go will be disappointed.
In the neighborhood of thirty five
owners of automobiles have decided to
participate in the parade to the Cubs
park. but they are all slow in coming
around and making the final arrange
ments.
The committees are ready to do their
work at any time and the larger the
number of business men who respond
the greater the success of the venture

day that he would probably accept. He
has until Thursday to think the matter
over and although he rather likes to
play ball in his home ONE, it is his
only chance and he may take it.

CROWN POINT PUTS
IN A BUSY DAY
Especial to THE TrMEs.)

Crown Point, Ind, July 6.-Y esterday
was busy day at the court house, oc-
casioned by the meeting of the county
commissioners and a big crowd of Lake
County citieps from Gary. Hammond
Lowell and various parts of the county
was in attendance. The greatest share
of the days time was devoted to the
liquor matters and the granting of
liquor licenses, the usual batch of ap-
plicants coming from Gary. With 40
saloons in the steel city" at present
ii would seem as if the beverage
market might be amply supplied but
from the increasing number of license
applications each month it is evident
that there is room at the top of the
keg.
Many licenses were granted at yes
terday's session, with the absence of
the usual fight and opposition from the
anti liquor forces
