Especial 20 THE TIMEs.)


CROWN POINT, Ind. Sept 25.-The
Lake County Commissioners at an i'm
portant special session held here yes
sterday awarded two gravel road con-
nracts to the United Construction
company Of Hammond for a sum ag-
gregating s125. .32o Both roads are to
be built in Calumet township.
The biggest road-the H z. Jones
gravel roads on Fifth avenue in
Gary from Ambridge TO the West
Gary city limits. The road will be
built on one side of the car tracks
and is expected to be one of the best
roads built in the county for years.
1t will open up new route from
Hammond and East Chicago to Gary.
The other road is the H. S. Nc
Laughlin road and runs east from
Gary on Twenty-first avenue. 1t will
give Gary its hrst straight road to
East Gary and hobart and cut OF five
miles between that territory and
Gary.
Both the new roads will of course
be extraordinarily popular with Chi
cago- South Bend auto tourists.
The board at its session turned
down the bid for the resurfacing Of
indianapolis boulevard because it ex-
ceeded the appropriation made by the
county council.
There were no bids offered for the
North Township bridge No. l. and it
will consequently have to be readyer-
tised.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND. Sept. rs
While most of the danger from typhoid
fever has ended in the cast of Gov.
Goodrich at the Methodist hospital, the
possible danger from bronchial pneu-
monia is grave. according to a report Of
those attending the governor today. The
governor passed a restful night and
his condition is slightly improved as
compared with that of yesterday His
temperature was at 1O2 and his purse
at us
Those closely in touch with the gov
ernor fear the next two days as the cru
cial period and believe if he survives
until after Thursday his chance of re-
covery is good.
The physicians are lighting the bron-
chial affection in order to prevent as
much as possible the dangers of bron-
chial pneumonia. 1t is admitted the
governor is in very weakened condi-
ton.

The force of the collision tore the
child from the arms of its grandmother
and threw it against the other machine.
In some way it was thrown back
against the fathers car and wedged
under the fender. The grandmother
also was thrown out of the machine
but only suffered severe bruises.
Crazed with grief. the childs father
attacked Shepple. who broke away and
ran down the road. VonSpach seized
an ak and started after him and only
the timely arrival of another party of
indianapolis automobilists prevented
the father from wreaking summary
vengeance on the farmer. The mother

GREAT AMERICAN DENTIST.
Baltimore SUM

So far as dentistry is concerned,
Germany. with all her boosted efflc-
iencv, has to admit her inferiorty TO
the United States. The Kaiser puts
on great many airs until he gets
the toothache, and then he suddenly
becomes very humble and begs an
American dentist to succor him. No
scientific German for him; nothing
but a Yankee will do in such an ex-
tremity as that.
Curious that the Emperor overlook
ed the fact when he started his u
boat war that Uncle Sam is the best
national dentist in the world. He has
a genius for pulling teeth. He pulled
a good many of King Georges IN
1875, and again in 1872; he pulled
Mexico's teeth later on; then he pull
ed a number of his own in the Civil
war. and he took out few for Spain
in 1898. When he gets through with
the Kaiser, the latter will have TO
live on mush and milk. He will not
be able to bite anybody again.

NOT THE COOLEST MAY.

The fact that the temperature IN
this vicinity has not been up to the
seasonal average on any day this
month, nor above that average Tor
a single day since April %, prompt
ed tile question put yesterday to
the official weather experts Ill Phlla-
delphia. "Was there ever such
weather as this in May?' The an
swer was as follows:
It was warmer on the 9TH OF last
January than on the 9Th of May,
and the two weeks ending yesterday
gave an average temperature of only
81 degrees. about equal to normal
May temperature at Helena. Mon
tana. Yet this is by no means the
only conspicuously cold May weather
which has been experienced. The
first two weeks in May, 1882, aver
aged only two degrees warmer than
the corresponding period of this
year, but the first 10 days Of thar
month lacked six degrees Of being
a match for the first 10 days Of the
present month.
On the other hand, May, 1882, gave
seven days with mean temperatures
below 80 degrees, while May of this
year has had five such days. The
Iccldest day was May 5, with mean
temperature of only 43. record that
has been equalled once here in May,
in the last IA years-May +,
1891. On the 4th, 9Th and 9th of the
present month the mean tempera-
lures were lower than the normals for
the corresponding dates in April. De-
spite numerous publications of evil
derce to the contrary many persons
believe that our climate is changing,
that the spring in particular is gradu-
ally becoming later and colder.

SkULKING GERMAN WARSRIPS.

In his address before the New
York Chamber of Commerce Satur-
day, Mr.. Balfour made the point that
the German fighting fleet remains
in harbor, guarded by mines, while
the submarine preys upon defense
less merchantmen and butchers
women and children. As the Rich
mond Journal suggests. he might
have added also hospital ships and
Belgian relief boats anything and
everything of the non-resistant type.
The skulking war vessels commission
the undelsea thugs to do by stealth
what thew dare not attempt in the
open. By having its sneaking sub
stitutes prev on the merchant marine
the German navy hopes to be able
to save its tonnage so that one day
il may issue forth intact and COM
mand the seas, even as it expects, or
has expected. its land forces to
override Christianity. The German
war fleet has far less courage than
that displayed by the fleet under
command of the gallant Spanish
Admiral .Cervera, which. in the face
Of certain humiliation, issued forth
from Santiago bay in brave battle
formation and went to destruction
with its colors flying. That single
;act. ,Wonsfor all time the respect of
TIE civilized world and the profound!
es. respect of America.
The German warships have sneak
ed OF once OF twice when they
