GARY sLUGGERs.

The city campaign in Gary has
been opened with a series of clug-
gings and there are ugly stories afloat
of black jack men being imported
from the Stockyards district in Chi
cago by some Gary men trying to
take a hand in politics.
If the sluggings continue Gary will
once more have it's name paraded be-
fore the country as a place where
outlaws can operate. And-some
politicians. who think themselves
very crafty may find the doors If
Michigan City yawning very widely
Two Gary newspapers are calling
each other every name in the calen-
dar and are really worked up to the
pitch that little country weeklies used
to find themselves in the bloody shirt
campaigns of two decades ago. 1t is
a question whether the world is real
ly getting better in some newspaper
Offices.

CLEVER BOYS, THESE.

From what a rank layman could
CLEAN from il we learn from the ses-
sions of the Northern Indiana Dental
society which has just concluded its
convention at Gary that the only
thing painless about dentistry avn
more is caused when the doctor ex-
tracts his fee. But even this has been
reduced to such a science by some
considerate dentists that they can put
in a big bill in such smooth manner
that the patient hardly feels anu
shock.

NEWSPAPERS IGNORED.

We notice in the Calumet Survey
conference that not line is given to
the newspapers of the region, though
all other branches of industrial and
commercial activity are noted. The
Calumet district has half a dozen
thirdrail daily newspapers and sew
eral weeklies, yet the journalistic
profession has been ignored by those
who got up the book. A large num-

on the stage of the Aquarium at the
foot of that street, where Holsters
have long been the backbone of the
community.
This newcomer in the crustacean
midst weighs thirty-five pounds-a
pound more than the previous holder
of the lobster belt. He is sixteen
inches round the body and his left
claw is nineteen inches long. Not a
blemish mars his beauty; both his
claws are full Of teeth, and his side
issue legs are all present.
But be not frivolous when you
meet him. He is no chicken, no
parvenu in the ways of lobsterdom.
His age is set down by the lobster
tenders at the Aquarium as some
thing more than fifty. Barnacles
have been born, grown to maturity,
passed into feeble old age and died
on his shell, yet he is still in the full
vigor of lobsterhood.

The Island of Hawaii.

/ The island of Hawaii, the largest OF
| the Hawaiian group, has an area OF A.
| obs square miles, more than twice the
combined area of Maui, Oahu. and
! Kauai, 1t is somewhat smaller than
Connecticut and considerably larger than
Porto Rico.
Hawaii island has been formed by the
coaleseence of four large volcanoes
kohsla, Mauna Kea, HuallIai, and Maui
ma Loa. The first three are extinct, but
Mauna Loa has two active craters.
Mauna Kea, 1885 feet above sea level,
is not only the highest mountain in Ha-
waii but the highest island mountain in
the world. Kilauea, the largest active
crater in the world, is on the south
eastern slope OF Mauna Loa. IT is a
huge pit, 2.93 miles long, l95 miles wide,
7.S5 miles in circumference, and Ala
square miles in area. On the southwest
the side walls are broken away, giving
easy access TO the flow of the crater and
the pit OF Halemaumau, or lake of fire.
Here one may stand on the edge of the
pit and see the molten lava boiling and
spouting 100 TO 900 feet below. Kilauea
is volcanic of the caldron type and has
never been known TO have an explosive
eruption.
The rainfall on the island varies great
ly, ranging from 1853 inches a year in
upper Waipio valley to 20 to 90 inches
on the slopes OF Hualalai The only sur
face streams on the island are found
along the northeast coast between Hilo
and Kohala. Waipio river is the largest
stream on the island and has been part
~ developed for irrigation. At Karpoho,
on the east point of the island, warm
waters flows from seams in the rocks.
These 'warm springs" flow into a pool
about 100 feet long, 25 feet wide, and 20
feet deep. The pool is entirely sur
rounded by rocks and it's color varies
in shade from beautiful blue 10 violet.
Waiapele, or Green lake, is body of
fresh water in the pit of an old crater
nearKapaho This lake covers an area
of about acres, and is fed by springs
below the surface. A pumping plant
takes water from this lake for domestic
uses and for irrigation.

rainfall on the island, as well as a de-

Marine Monsters That Are Known as
Whale Killers.

There really is such a sea monster
the whale killer. 1t is one of the
largest and most ferocious of all the
dolphin family. 1t also is known as
the grampus. 1t is characterized as
genus by its large size and the conical
and depressed head, devoid of beak.
The back fin is of great length, espe-
eially in the males, and the clippers are
large and broadly ovate.
The teeth are comparatively few
in number, varying from ten to thir-
teen on each side of the jaw, and are
much larger than in any dolphins yet
noticed. being often an inch or more
In diameter and having an oval sec
ton. The coloration is striking, the
upper parts and fins being black. while
the lower jaw, chest and under parts
are whitish
The white area OF the under parts
does not. however. extend to the flukes,
but ends posteriorly in a trident, Of
which the lateral and shorter prongs
extend obliquely upward on the TANKS.
Thee is large white streak above
and behind the eye. and frequently ut
least a purple crescentic area extends
across the back behind the fin. The
killer attains length of at least TWEEN
ty feet.-St. Louis Times.

THE QUARREL
Victim, Dying at Hospital,
Gives Name of Becky
Silverman

New York, Aug A well dressed
middle-aged man and handsome young
woman quarreled Saturday on Fifth
avenue, until the man suddenly drew
revolver, shot the woman three times
and then blew out his brains At the
hospital to which the woman was taken,
she said the man who shot her was
Abraham Fink, and that she wds Miss
Becky Silverman, q years old, living
with her brother in New York. Fink s
home was in Buffalo.
Upon his person were found $4,000 in
! United States currency and large sum
in Canadian money and also receipt
for money made out to Miss Silverman.
In Fink's pockets were letters mailed
from hotel in Atlantic City, and
signed your darling Violet" and ''your
dearest Violet Fink, according to Miss
Silverman, was travelling jewelry
salesman, widower and AS years old.
The hospital doctors said Miss Silver
man had a chance to recover.
Witnesses of the shooting say that
the woman was reading a letter aloud
apparently to the great annoyance of
the man. After repeatedly command
ing her to discontinue the reading, the
man drew his revolver and fired. Miss
Silverman said she had become acquaint-
ed with Fink in Buffalo, but three
weeks ago, firing of his attentions. she
had gone to Atlantic City and then re-
turned to her family. Fink, she said
found her in New York and had tried in
vain to persuade her to go back to Buff
falo. Saturday he met her at the cor
ner of Fifth avenue and Thirtieth street
and, drawing her out. of the crowd of
shoppers, renewed his plea. When she
persisted in her refusal TO go with him
he shot her. She admitted that ''Vio-
let Rogers was the name she assumed
when she was at Atlantic City.
Phillip Silverman, new York attor-
ney, who called at the hospital to see
the injured woman Saturday afternoon,
said that he had been sent by her faith
err, Meyer Silverman, wealthy retired
merchant of East Boston. The father,
Silverman said, received telegram Sat
urday informing him that his daughter
had been shot. This message was the
first news Meyer Silverman had been
able to obtain regarding his daughter
since she left home 10 years ago. The
telegram. Silverman said, was sent by
Jerre Abrams, whom Miss Silverman
was engaged to marry.
The attorney, who said he was fam
lily relative, declared that Mr.. and Mrs.
Silverman had been making fruitless
efforts to find their daughter in every
part of the United States.
Boston, Aug. 1.-Two Meyer Silver
mans, the only ones in East Boston, &C
cording to the directory, denied Satur-
day night they were in any way related
to the girl shot by Fink in New York
