| BEATING DRUM HIS HOBBY

Simon E. Bernheimer, 4 millionaire
brewer Of New York. died recently
Just as he was exultantly and delight
eddy in the exercise of his lifelong
hobby-beating a bass drum. 1t was
an odd revelation that a man of great
wealth and large affairs had found his
keenest enjoyment in acting as mu-
stefan in a band. Bernheimer has
spent thousands of dollars in the sup
port Of a musical association for the
mere privilege of welding the big
baton with its huge leather ball against
the side Of n booming drum. He had
joined a Masonic order in order to
get an opportunity to play the bass
drum as a substitute in the band, at
tending rehcaroals devotedly in the
hope that some night the regular bass
drummer would be absent and he
would get a chance And when he
did get it the other night he attacked
the instrument with such vim and was
so highly excited withal at the oppo:-
tunity that had come to him that he
brought on a stroke of apopleXy that
killed him.

BOYS REMARKABLE ESCAPE

4 seven-vear-old boy, Walter Gus
tavage, had thrilling experience at
Ci'mdville, Pa, one day lately. A
chum dared him to jump over the
mouth of an air shaft at one Of the
corliery mines, and on making the at
tempt he miscalculated the distance
and vent whirling down the chute 47o
feet into an excavation. He escaped
with nothing more than a few bruises
When the boy disappeared into the
opening his companion spread an
alarm and rescUers were lowered into
the hole with ropes, but could get no
response to their calls. An hour later
when those on the surface had given
up the boy for dead, loader boss ap-
peared on the surface with the lad IN
his arms He found him on gang
way platform crying from fright, but
practically unhurt.

DUMB NAN SPEAKS.

An Unusual case was that Of Harry
Wiltze, a dumb patient, in a New Ha-
ven hospital, who greeted the visiting
physician the other morning with
Hello, Doc.' 1t was the first word
he had spoken for nine months, and
the first sane utterance in many
years. An operation was performed on
the patient, section Of his skull
which had come in contact with the
brain being removed, with the result
just recorded. There is every indica-
ton that the remarkable operation
will be perfectly successful.

NOW TIE ELECTRIC CARPET.

The latest electric invention is the
electric carpet for heating rooms. 1t
was originated in Paris The under
side of the new carpet consists of a
network of steel wires through which
the current is equally distributed in
all directions 1t is said that the cost
Of the new form Of heating will be
less than that OF any known system;
indeed it is estimated that a room
fitted with one of these carpets can
be heated at a total cost OF a penny
an hour.

HE CAN TWIST BIG SPIKES.

Michael Manson, a confectioner Of
Wooster, o., although we'll along in
years, has just discovered that he has
wonderful strength in his hands. Man
sor watched a street fakir doing feats
with nails, He tried some OF them
and was astounded on finding bow
easily he could twist and bend nails
Then he tried the largest steel spikes
and these he was able to bend and
twist with apparent ease. Manson
made a chain of the spikes to snow
strange part Of Mansor's discovery is
that although he has seen tricks Of
the sort performed he never before
thought of trying to initiate any OF the
performances.

FAVOR ALDRICH PLAN.

There is no class of men more thor
oughly in touch with the financial
needs of the country than the bankers.
Consideration must be given them at
all hazards when they advocate a sys-
tenn of monetary policy, notwithstand-
ing that their critics decry their al
legged bias in favor OF banking inter-
ests. So that when the bankers at
their recent meeting in Indianapolis
go on record as favoring the Aldrich
plan, their words are entitled to some
respect. The Indiana bankers said:
Resolved, That it is the opinion
of the Indiana Bankers association. in
convention assembled, that the sug-
gested plan for monetary legislation
presented by Senator Aidrich to the
national monetary commission, as
amended by the executive council of
the American Bankers association, at
the Nashville meeting, embodies in
its main outlines satisfactory rem
edy for the existing deficiencies in our
banking system, and that we earnestly
recommend to the senate and house oil
representatives the adoption of a bill
containing the essential features OF
this plan at the earliest possible date
and before the necessity for such leg
islation shall have been forced upon
the attention OF the country by the re
currence of such a financial collapse
as it is designed to prevent
A resolution was also adopted ap
proving a universal system for mum
bering the banks of the United States
as recommended by the executive
council of the American Bankers as

THE HUNGARIAN PULITZER
Thank you, very kindly

With the death of Joseph Pulitzer
on Sunday there passed away one of
the greatest editors of modern times.
Coming to this country penniless he
died the owner of a ST. Louis paper
and the powerful New York World.
He left a fortune estimated at sixty
millions. By birth Joseph Pulitzer
was Hungarian. We have many
Hungarians within the confines of
Lake county. To what high spheres
of influence they may rise is illus
trated in the career of this poor Hun
garian youth who achieved such high
fame. There are lot of young Hun
garians in this region and perhaps
twenty years from now the country
will hear of some of them. We are
hearing of some of them now as a
matter of fact

RAW MATERIAL.

The states that are experimenting
with the initiative referendum. recall
and other new political wrinkles will
furnish good raw material for legis-
lation in the more conservative states
later on. There is excellent reason
for believing that in the course of
time these reforms will be general,
just as the direct primary has become
all but universal throughout the union,
but they will be improved in a number
of respects For instance, in Cali
fornia the other day the people voted
on twenty-three amendments to their
constitution. and manifectly it was i'm
possible for them to vote with a great
amount of intelligence and discrimina-
ton on such a multiplicity of PROPOSE
tons. The number of laws to be con-
sidered by the people at one election
should be limited, says the Crawfords-

TIMES BUREAU.
AT STATE CAPITAL.

Indianapolis. Ind, Oct. 31-There is a
likelihood that the Democrats may not
elect a state chairman I'm this state until
after they have held their state conven-
tion next year. This kind OF talk is be-
ing INDUCED in by some of the Taggart
Democrats, and since they are the ones
who Wal organize the state committee
and control the entire party machinery
next year it is regarded as a fact that
such plan will be followed. Just why
they viii follow this course is not
known. however. because Taggart
usually does not lose any time in effect
ing an organization and taking charge
of the party machinery early in a cam
paign.
The men who are talking Of delaying
the election of a state chairman give
as the reason that the state officials
ought to have something to say about
the make up of the next organization,
but at the same time the candidates of
the state ticket also ought to be heard
as TO their preference. This is what
they say, but it Is not accepted as the
real reason for the delay. 1t is believed
that the real reason is something that
is not yet made public
1t is believed by most Democrats that
all of the Democratic state officials who
are UP for denomination next year will
be re-nominated. But. it is pointed out
that it is by no means a certainty that
such will be the case. 1t Is said thai
there will be other candidates for some
of the state Offices, and that some OF
the present officials will have to fight
for denominations next year. This
seems hardly probable however since
it has been the rule ever since thGaeate
was born to give a state official n
chance at second term If he wished IL.
One we'll known Taggart Democrat in
speaking of the matter of delaying the
election OF state chairman said:
You can count on it that this plan
will be followed. II Will not do any
harm for the party wait until after the
state convention to do this. The
Democrats can go right ahead and COM
plete their organization with the ex-
ception OF the state chairman. They
can elect their precinct committeeman
all over the state. elect their county
chairmen, and then they can elect their
district committeeman, who will be
members of the state committee. That
Will make the organization all right,
and the present chairman can then call
the state convention and make all ar
rangements for ii. The present state
officfals are well satisfied with Stokes
Jackson as state chairman, and with
Fable Gwin, of Shoals, vice chairman.
If Jackson cannot come back from
Washington TO look after things Gwin
can attend to 1t. and this will satisfy
the state officials.

longer for woman's suffrage has come
to stay and that fact might as well be
accepted In dealing with the problem
from the first. There are those who
deliberately refuse to give woman
suffrage a fair show. 1t is not a cues
ton of femininity, as a contemporary
says:
Voting has no more reference to
sex than eating pigeon pie or riding
on trolley car. There was a time
when knowing how to read and write
was considered by masculine conserv-
atives of that day and generation a
rather unfeminine accomplishment.
and even now there are those who re-
gard a woman who knows a little
Latin or Greek, or who has mastered
the mysteries of the binominal theo-
rem, as being bluestocking."

Should such a line be established

ed Uncle Sam does not take any,
thing for granted.
The people OF the Calumet region
may argue the need of rivers and har-
bors until they are black in the face
and all the satisfaction they will get
out OF the government will be this
question: Does the shipping on your
rivers, harbors and lakes warrant the
expenditure of large sum of money
for its development"
In the past the people OF Lake coun-
ty have been "stumped" when this
question was put to them. Shipping /?
Why no, we have no shipping; simply
because the water in the river and
canal is so shallow that nothing but
small boat can navigate them and
the bridges over these waterways are
SO seldom turned that 1t takes half an
hour to get one of them open after the
bridge tender has been located
But the establishment of a lighter
age service would remedy this The
lighters could navigate the shallow
waters and might force the railroads
and municipalities to maintain bridge
