will become a real actor at the end
of his term as mayor the first of next
January, and his first appearance on
the vaudeville stage will be made at
South Bend. Terre Haute and Evans
Vile. 1t is said that negotiations also
are pending for his appearance at Fort
Wayne. He announced last night that
he would perform at the Orpheum
theatre, South Bend, the entire week of
January 4th. The first half of the fol-
lowing week he will be at the New
Grand theatre. Evansville. and the last
half of that week at the Variety
theatre. Terre Haute.
He will do monologue and If he
does this In his own natural manner
he is sure to make a hit. It would be
better than anything that anyone else
could write for him.
Not only will be perform at the
theatres in these cities, but in each
town that he visits he Will inspect
the city markets and tell the people
whether they are run right. He will
also have q look at the police and fire
departments in each city, and will crit
icise them for the benefit of the suffer-
ing and patient public. In addition to
all OF this he VIII conduct auction sales
for charity in each ciety. Any char
ity or charitable institution that wish
es to have him conduct such a sale can
have his service free of charge.
1t Is said that Indiana Congressman
have Jared better thus far in having
postmasters appointed and confirmed
by the Senate than the congressman of
any other state in the union. Up to
this time sixty-six Democrats have
been appointed postmasters in Indiana,
and none of the men recommended by
the Indiana congressman has been
turned down for appointment. The
Indiana members are feeling good over
their record In this matter thus far,
and are pointing out that the class OF
men they have recommended is so
far above the average that this ac-
counts for the ease and speed with
which they have had their appointees
confirmed.

MOTHERS BREAD.

One Jay Burns, baker OF Omaha
his name may or may not be a pun
addressing the master bakers FORE
gathered at Buffalo, seems to have
gone and done 1t.
List to his words:
THE bread mother makes, after
placing the dough behind the stove
to rise. is not pure food. Kneading
dough with the hands is imperfect in
the first place, because the Jumps of
gluten made by -four and water are
not thoroughly mashed. Then, COW
erfng the dough while it rises is in
sanitary, because carbonic gases from
the yeast and -four are unable to es-
cape" says the Grand Rapids Press.
Whaddye mean not pure, Mr..
Burns?
Are you trying to drum up trade,
or are you sincere? Furthermore, did
you ever refrain from eating that
bread raised behind the stove, and
call for the bakers article instead?

HAMMOND PLATFORMS.

THE TIMES this week, for the
benefit of it's Hammond readers par
ticularly, gave space setting forth the
platforms Of the various political
parties in Hammond.
Platforms may mean much or little,
1t depends on the integrity of the
party submitting the declaration of
principles. 1t may be frankly stated
that the platforms of the republican
the progressive and the socialist
parties all contain something to
which every voter in the city can sub
scribe. AS for the democratic party
in Hammond he is left completely in
the dark as that party apparently has
neither principles nor a creed which
it has seen fit to make public.
The republican platform is prac-
tical document on which any set of
officials in city hall could go to
work with a constructive policy. 1t
was this party which recommended
that immediate steps be taken to deed
a right of way to the federal govern
ment for the Strengthening and wild
ening of the Grand Calumet river.
At the Chamber of Commerce the
other evening, this was pronounced
one of the most important things in
the city for its general prosperity
tangible propositions, such as parks,
track elimination, better mail delfv-
cry, the improvement of the water
works system, new bridge over the
operation OF republican city officials
with civic and local Improvement
bodies in it's platform.
The progressive platform it sci
forth in fourteen paragraphs. the
most striking OF which are the one
dealing with the enforcement oil
municipal affairs from nationa
politics and another pledging the
party to work for the commission
form of government. The platform
is sane on municipal ownership OF
public utilities. This paragraph
reads: I'VE favor the municipal own,
ership of public utilities as soon a:
conditions arise as would justify sucf
Ownership and the financial condi
tions of out city will warrant sucf
faction
The immediate demands of tn,
socialist party are practical and ar,
iworthy of consideration by any part,

APART.
At sea nre tossing ships;
on the shore are dreaming shells.
And the waiting heart and the loving
lips,
blossoms and bridal bells.
At sea are sail agleam,
On shore nre longing eyes.
And the far borizon's haunting dream
or ships that sail the skies.
At sea are masts that rise
Like spectres from the dep,
ON the shore are the ghosts of drown
Ing cries
That cross the waves of sleep.
At sea are wrecks astrand:
On shore are shells that moan,
Old anchors buried in barren sand,
Sca-mist and dreams alone.

What was the vireinius affair over
which we had dispute with Spainf
The American vessel virginius, un-
der command Of Captain Fry. was
captured on the high seas OF Jamaica
by the Spanish cruiser Tornado and
taken as prize into Santiago de Cuba.
Here. on Nov. 4. 1873. four Cuban pa
triots. Cespedas. Ryan. Del Sal and
Verona, who were passengers on the
suspected filibuster. were put to death.
On the It'll and Sth Of the month Cap
tain Fry. thirty-six of the crew and
sixteen passengers were summarily
executed. Before the Spanish could
complete the executions a British
man-of-war came into the harbor and
stopped proceedings Dec. 10 the
Spanish surrendered the virginius and
102 survivors of the expedition. On
her return north the virginius foun-
dered or Cape Fear. There was great
excitement In the United States over
the incident. but since the papers Of
the vfrginfus were found irregular Il
was clear that the voyage was in vio-
lation of the neutrality laws, and the
matter was adjusted through the usu-
al diplomatic interchanges.
