ROSE MELVILLE HAS ACCUMULATED WEALTH

CHARACTER OF SIS HOPKINS

first Shown in Sam Voting's jrtopleif?. Comedy at Old HouseV i*

Rose Smock, Rose Melville and Sis Hopkins are one person .vitk distinct personalities. .• Ihe, fipsty.is, a(..colIce graduate and the daughter of a Baptist minister, the second is the actress and the third is the character she portrays in the play of the same name, which is now showing at the Park Theater. "Sis" at least in the earlier stages of the play, has none of the characteris lies of a college graduate, but seenis more like the Topsy (ype, that just grew with a too ample stock of negatives and a garb that would have abashed Topsy somewhat. "Sis".is supposed to be a product of- Indiana—a sort of by-pro-duct of some rural district.

Miss Smock is also a product of the state, having been reared in Terrc Haute. She graduated from Franklin College. Her father was of the type of the oldfashioned minister, who preached on Sundays and conducted the other duties of his office in a most efficient manner, and it is related traded horses at odd times. He was not partial to stageland or stage people, but the evolution of his three daughters into actresses was so gradual that he scarcely knew when it began and when it was completed.

There were three girls—Rose. Ida and Pearl—and they were all skilful in mimicry and were good musicians. Their first public, appearance was at church entertainments, where they did modest little musical sketches, but gradually, as their fame grew, they branched out and Legan to give entertainments as the '•.Melville sisters" for various societies and then Ida married Scott Good and Pearl became the wife of Walter Bald win and the Baldwin-Melville repertory company resulted.

It played in a number of the small towns of the state, following the county fair circuit. Miss Rose Smock was mean while finishing her education at Franklin College, but as soon as she had grad uated, about fourteen years ago, she joined the company, and it was while fol lowing the county fairs that she conceiv cd the idea of a Sis Hopkins type. At Hirst her idea appeared in '"'Zeb. the Clod Hopper" written bv Sam Young, but she made her real hit when she appeared in her "Sis Hopkins" sketch, in Mathews and Bulger's "'The Sad Sea Waves."

The public was caught by the novelty of the act. and as a result ''Sis Hopkins' Avas written for her, under'her direction by Clarence Fleming, but was afterward levised by Edward Kidd^ri ^!vriy• o£^tl)e minor details of the play have since beqn changed by her, for she is always on tile watch for humorous bits of conversation or any peculiar idioms..

This is her fourth s|isoii!..in the play' and she has been successful heyondvher most sanguinehopes. th^' play and from a comic b'dok, H-opkitis," published by an Eastern humorous weejcly. and from "a jiidicious fu^qstiijeiit of $er income she is worth about $]d0,000|according to her friends.

And now. like many other actors and actresses before her, she sflys that ,she lias made enough money and wants:-to gain some fame by .appearang in a character more pretentious than Sis—wants to do something worth while, and all that but her theatrical friends and her manager have been successful in keeping her to the character that lias made her famous.—Indianapolis News.

WARDEN SAYSTEW|NG IS SH0RTEwING SAYS WARDEN

BUT EWING PAYS OVER CASH

It, Looks Like,- the Affair is Ended, 'Jiave Exchange of Compliments &A} Between the Men.

-—The alleged shortage of Thomas C. Ewing, confidential clerk for the -J. L. Warden Poultry and Brokei'ijgo,company is one of the peculiar things in business sensations in Terre Haute within the past fortnight. Mr. Warden claims that Ewing put about $5,000 down in his waurnus pocket, and Ewing claims that he did nothing of the sort, but that iie was a partner in the fowl and feather combine. He makes no denial of the claim that he was a few dollars to the good but says that as a partner he was guilty of no wicked act by stowing the coin awif^ in his capacious watch-fob and' going out i'n.to the jungles of Illinois to visit his folks". Though the shortage was made public, there was no attempt made to arrest Ewing-and this with the fact that lie came back to Terre Haute and confronted his accuser gives some color to his claim. Notwithstanding this fact, Warden claims that when Ewing came from Illinois he made good the shortage and that the nests of the poultry corral were ''refeathered'' by him to an amount which equaled the reported shortage. This settled the issue so far as the law was concerned, and the affair has merged into a sort of a literary contest between the parties interested. Ewing is over at Charleston, improving the golden moments getting interviewed, and if the newspapers would only change regular advertising rates for the talk that is being run at top of column, next to pure reading matter, they could soon acquire a good slice of a reasonably prosperous poultry house. Here is the last literary gem which Mr. Ewing handed to the Charleston correspondent of the Mattoon Journal: "Charleston, February 4.—-While the Terre Haute officials are wondering where Thomas Chester Ewing can be and Mr. Joseph Warden, formerly of Mattoon and Windsor, is dolefully telling the world that Ewing is short in his accounts with him as confidential clerk to the tune of $5,000, Mr. Ewing turns up at Charleston and says that Warden is simply trying to freeze him out of his position as partner in the Warden chicken buying establishment at Terre Haute. "The Courier contained the following report of Mr. Ewing's appearance in Charleston:' "T. C. Ewing, who is accused of embezzling $0,000 from J. L. Warden of Terre Haute, was in the city todav and

Will Banish lour Neuralgia.

Read the Strong Testimony of An Eminent Kentucky Physician. Neuralgia, rheumatism, and a general "rundown" condition result directly from an impoverished and famished nervous system.

Paine's Celery' Compound' Quickly corrects this faulty condition. Being a true nerve food and nourisher, it builds up the nervous system and fully sustains it,. While Paine's Celery Compound is working at the root of disease, (the nerve centers), bracing and building up the weakened and irritated piwls and purifying the blood, neuralgia, rheumatism, and poisons are expelled forever from the system. Dr. Phelps' wonderful prescription is carrying health and happiness into thousands of homes it is what you need for your present troubles it makes sick people well and strong. Dr. Dudley Conner of Simpsonville. Ivy. says: "I have carefully examined the formula of Paine's Celery Compound and have no hesitancy in pronouncing it a compound of great therapeutic value. It has a wide range in its adaptation to the treatment of diseases, as it possesses tonic and alterative. laxative and diuretic properties, and can be used any length of time without danger of toxic effects.' It is a safe and judicious combination, well adapted to the treatment of neuralgia and rheumatism in all their varied forms, and all diseases dependent upon a depression of the nervous system and torpor of the bowels. I regard it as a good blood purifier."

said the affair was greatly exaggerated as he was not guilty of such a change. "He says he was a partner in the concern and that while he was visiting his relatives in Neoga, his alleged partner made the accusation against him, thinking to freeze him out of the alleged existing partnership. "Ewing says that on learning of the accusation he returned to Terre Haute and asked Mr. Warden to sustain his charge, but he refused to do so, and he left Terre Haute intending to return at a later date and take legal steps for his rights."

LEOMINSTER, Mass., Feb. 5—A letter received, here from A. Ballentine, curator of the interstate estates at Port Moresby, British New Guinea, confirms the report that Milton J- Flood, the s».T5n tific investigator, fell a victim to canibals in that country. The latter says that Mr. Flood was lost in the scrub on the left bank of the river Vanap, near Douro, in the Central division of New Guinea. "Your brother stem's" to'Have left his camp about the 23d day of October," writes Mr. Ballantyne. "As he did not return that night, another white settler named Ezard, who was living at the same camp, with a number of natives, proceeded to search for him without success.

Six Memorial Windows. Six memorial windows have been provided for in the new First Congregational church, and it has been decided that they will all be picture windows. Only one other window is to be had. as a memorial, the largest one, facing Ohio street. This although it is not a picture window is a beautiful specimen of ecclesiastical decoration in art, and it copied from one of the windows in the Melrose Abbey in England.

The memorial windows already assigned are those of Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Rea, Mr. C. W. Mancourt, Mr. and Mrs. John Cook, the friends of the late Miss Fannie Cruft and of Mrs. Yates, and one window for a former pastor of the church.
