FUND LOSES
S 10000
Especial to THE TINES


East Chicago. July 1s.--At meeting
OF the city council last night an. ordi-
nance was passed appropriating $4,000
from the general fund to be used on the
repairing and improving of streets and
alleys. Last year this department us
ed $4,000 and the original appro-
priation this year amounted to only
$4,000, more will be needed to finish
the years work. 1t is estimated the
ADDITIONAL $4,000 will run the depart
ment till the next taxes are collected
The council ratified a contract enter
ed into between the board of public
works and the gas company whereby
according to the boards figures they
can same something on gas at the
Magoun avenue pumping station. The
old contract just expired, made a flat
rate of so cents, but the new contract
provides sliding scale which calls for
varying prices according to the ouan-
tity Of gas consumed. With the amount
used by the pumping station last year
as basis. it is figured that the price OF
gas under the new contract will a,r--
age seventy-two cents.
The ordinance promising for the re-
adjustment of the prohibition distric.
was read for the third time and passed
The only change that 1t makes will be
to include the half block between
Stewart Place and Washington street
and Block avenue and the alley be-
tween Block and Pennsylvania, in tn,
wet territory.

For so long period has Paul de Longpre
been closely identified with the art life OF the
United States, and particularly of southern Cali
fornia where he has long made his home, that
zmany persons overlook the fact-which might IN
deed be suspected from his name-that ne is
native OF our sister republic of France. Born In
Paris some fifty-fve years ago. he was one Oh ten
children and enjoyed few early advantages or
an educational character However, as young
boy he manifested talent, seemingly amounting
almost to genius, for the painting or noral SUD-
tects and he spent portion OF each year In the
country near Paris in order to study at first hand
the floral subjects he loved so well. Indeed ne
would probably have given up his whole time TO
sketching in the luxuriant flower gardens OF this
favored region had 1t not been for the fact tnat
he had his living to make and did 1t Dy the most
prosaic bat vastly more remunerative occupa-
tion of decorating fans.
All the while, of course, his heart was In the
flower painting and his efforts attracted atten-
tion from the outset. In 1876 he won the SUI
irene honor of having his pictures hung In the
Paris salon and similar recognition came on sew

DIsFIGURED WITH ECZEMA

"Our little boy Gilbert was troubled
with eczema when but a. few weeks
old. His little face was covered with
sores even to back of his ears. The
poor little fellow suffered very much.
The sores began as pimples, his lit
tie face was disfgured very much.
We hardly knew what he looked like.
The face looked like raw meat. We
tied little bags of cloth over his
hands to prevent him from scratching.
He was very restless at night, his
little face itched.
1--WE consulted two doctors at Chi
cago, where we resided at that time.
After trying all the medicine of the
two doctors without any result, we
read of the Cuticura Remedies, and at
once bought the Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. Following the directions
carefully and promptly we saw the re-
suit, and after four weeks the dear
child's face was as fine and clean as
any little baby's face. Every one who
saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura
Remedies was surprised. He has a
head of hair which is a pride for any
boy of his age, three years. We can
only recommend the Cuticura RENE

King George and Divorce.

Another indication of the return of the
English court under King George to Vic
torian ways is given by the announcement
that hereafter no divorced person may be
presented there. Queen Victoria, it will
be remembered, was great stickler for
decorum. and she drew the line rigidly
between the proper and the improper.
That the wide social influence of the SOW
ereign should be exercised to promote
morals, is, of course, highly desirable.
1t would be well if a stronger feeling
against divorce existed in American soci-
ETY.. There is no question as to the de-
moralizing effect of the too easy sundering
of the bond of wedlock At the same
time to denounce divorce indiscriminately,
as the King practically does by barring
the divorced from court is neither wise
nor just There is a vast difference be-
tween the case of those whose domestic
relations have become intolerable through
no fault of their own and those who seek
release from their marriage VOWS in order
to form fresh unions. There are in Eng
land, for example. several ladies of high
rank who have been separated or di-
vorced from their husbands in circum-
stances which should secure for them
consideration and respect, not denuncia-

Immoral and Futile.

Nothing more brazen was ever seen in
a court of Justice than the attack made
by the attorneys for the great meat pack
ing companies in Chicago upon the in
dictment obtained by the United States,
a few months ago In effect the demurrer
was based upon the claim that the viola
tons Of the federal antitrust laws which
were charged by the United States grand
jury were the same kind for which the
packers had been granted immunity in
1906.
It was as if the packers had said: THE
law-breakng which we are accused of is
so nearly the same law-breaking which
was forgiven five years ago. in cOnsidera-
tion Of our agreement to stop it and help
bring the railroads to book. that the old
forgiveness can be stretched. bv an artful
legal construction, TO cover the repeated
later violations of the same federal laws
which we trampled under foot at that
time. Our newer shining against the
government IS OF the same kind that we
practiced before the earlier court pro-
ceedingS. We were let off then and we
claim that we must be allowed to escape
now because OF that old consideration
shown US by the federal authorities"
This utterly immoral and scsndalous
defense has tailed in the United States
district court. Judge Carpenter has de-
cided that the packers must 90 to trial,

Rodent Runs Riot.

Wonder why women are frightened by
rats? That's one thing we never could
understand We recall an exchange of
courtesies between a man and his wife
one night in a restaurant, and the courte-
sizes were curious and conflicting, and
were fast leading up to the riot standard,
the woman holding her own,' and even
more than that when a rat ran across
the room. That settled the dispute. The
woman jumped on the table, among all
the dishes. showing ankles and lingerie
that would have made Dutch danseuse
dizzy with delirium. But the row stopped
and the laughter began The latest rat
story. however, comes from BROOKLYN,
and it runs like this: During matinee
performance at one OF the theatres, while
the house was crowded. rat appeared
in one of the alsles, and CONSERVATION
seized the crowd instanter Women
jumped on orchestra chairs, danced the
Highland fling and other filings screamed
and acted like mad, while the rat ran
riot through the rows of seats AT one
stage of the stampede all the women
screamed together; that put the show out
of business. The actors lost their lines,
the women lost their reason and the rat
lost its life. Why are women frightened
at rats, and still wear them in their h air?
