TESTIMONY UNSHAKEN Special to the Indianapolis Journal. CRAWrORUSVILLE. Ind.. March 4 "Weighing carefully evtry word she uttered, Mrs. Sarah M. Jregg. defendant in the Gregg damage suit, was the target for a fire of cross-questions at to-day's proceedings. While it was feared she would not be able to appear in court to-day. she bore up remarkably well and but once did she give any evidence of the severe strain she was undergoing. When June Gregg's attorney referred to the death of the witness: husband. Mrs. tintip buried her fao la her hands and wept. She was asked if she had not n the day following her husband's funeral accompanied her son. that "certain young lady ' and June Gregg when they went driving. When she burst into tears court was adjourned. This afternoon she answtred the question. "Yes." Mrs. (iregg acknowledged. June (iregg attended her during the witness's Illness. Mrs. Gregg halo June (iregg told the wltnes that George Gregg was s gambler and a drunkard and that In tinreply the witness told her not to feel so badly. The witness said that George Gregg and June occupied the same room, slept together and attended society gatherings together, whenever they stopped quarreling long enough to go. Mrs. Gregg said the "certain young lady" stayed with her the night after the funeral of Gregg, but that George Gregg was not at the home of the witness that night. Mrs. Gregg suid she knew June Gregg was JeIous of her husband, but Um witness denied that her son was drunk every ninht when he came home from the Elks' lodge. She said she had always been on the Ix-st of terms with June Gregg and did not knowthat she was going to secure a divorce until the day she went away. The witness admitted she did not ask any .lUesli.ms is to the causes of the separation nor bid June Gregg good-bye when she left. Mrs. Gregg said she had never been to see June's child.

Sir Henry Irving, who is to be seen in Indianapolis next Monday evening in "Louis XI" and Tuesday afternoon in "The Merchant of Venice." will close his American tour at the Harlem Opera House iu New York on Friday evening, March 25, and will set sail for Iondon on the following day. richer by about $50.(00 than when he reached the shores of this country last October. American audiences did not take kindly to his production of Sardou's "Dante," but have been giving him a warm welcome Id the plays of his old repertoire. It is hardly likely that Si Henry will look to Sardou again for a new drama. Both "Robespierre " and "Dante," the two Sardou plays upon which the English knight spent so much money, have proved anything but successful from a AnaaV Is standpoint, t'pon his return to Bngtand. he w.ll continue to present "Louis XI." "The Bells. ' "The Merchant of Venice" and other old favorites. In an Interview last week In Chicago, Sir Henry expressed himself in an interesting manntr upon some of the small details of dramatic art. "The greatest test of an actor la his capacity for listening." he declared. "His by-play must be unobtrusive. The actor has always to remember that the most minute expression attracts attention. Nothing is lost on the stage and by-play is as mischievous when it is inJudicious as it is effective when rightly conceived. While trifles make perfection, perfection is no trifle. This lesson was enjoined on me when I was a very young man by that remarkable actress, Charlotte Cushman. I renumber when she played Meg Merrilles 1 was cast fur the part of Henry Bertram. It was my dutv at one point of the play to give Meg Merrilles a piece of money, and I did it after the traditional fashion by handing her a large purse full of coin of the realm. After the play Miss Cushmau, iu the course of some kindly advice, said to me: 'Instead of giving me that purse, don't you think it would have been much more natural if you had taken a number of coins from your pocket and given me the smallest? That is the way to give alms to a beggar and it would have added to the realism of the scene.' I have never forgotten that lesson, for. simple as it was, it contained many elements of dramatic truth." The Weber & Fields show girls, said to be the best looking of their kind on the stage, left San Francisco a short time ago, where they spent two weeks, with a good many regrets. It was a common thing for the girls to send a bundle containing $JO0 to the race track near the city and place it on the runners. Sometimes the money did not come back, but winners were frequently picked, and when this occurred the profits of th girls were large. Veva Morris, one of the show girls, is a good judge of horses. She owns several which race each season on the tracks about New York, and she directed the Investment of the money which was sent to the San Francisco track. Another of the band of girls is Winnie 04 1grist. who was educated by Harriet Beecher Stowe, and to her singing companions she is known as "Topsy." Fraukie Bnilv, said to be the star of tho show-girl realm, was the wife of General McLewee, partner of August Belmont, millionaire and turfman. Ethel and Emma Hopkins are daughters of John T. Hopkins, the veteran theatrical manager, of Chicago. Freda Linyaid, daughter of Katherlne Linyard, who took Lillian Russell's place as prima donna at the New York Casino, ran away from home to join the Weber & Fields company. May and Mattie Chapln are grandnieces of Russell Sage. Thirty-six show glris will appear In the Weber c Fields dual bill at the Park next Thursday night. Mrs. Patrick Campbell is going to Paris and is to appear in the Sarah Bernhardt Theater for a season of several weeks, opening Easter Monday. Mrs. Campbell and Madame Bernhardt are great friends and the distinguished French actress looks upon the younger English woman as a pupil. Mrs. Campbell is only about half as old as Sarah Bernhardt. Although the beautiful English actress looks as if she might be on the sunny side of thirty, she has a son who has entered the English navy and a beautiful sixteen-year-old .laughter who is being educated In the family of an English baron. Mrs. Campbell's husband was killed at the battle of Rietfontein in South Africa, three years ago. It is not generally known that she and her husband eloped at the ages of twenty-live and seventeen, respectively. They were passionately in love, and. other reports to tlw contrary notwithstanding, remained so uutil Mr. Campbell's death. It will be interesting to observe the manner in which the French receive the English actress. Tho last opportunities to see the clever specialties of Henry Isee, Elfte Fay and Lewis McCord will be afforded local theatergoers at the matinee and evening performances to-day of the Grand's vaudeville bill. These three entertainers have scored pronounced hits this week, and there are sevPLAN TO UNITE CHURCH Movement Discussed in the Religious Education Association Convention at Philadelphia. PHILADELPHIA, March 4. The Religious Education Association closed its three days' convention to-night with a large public meeting in Grace Baptist Temple. The subject under discussion was "The Dible in Social and Civil Life." Before the meeting adjourned the newly elected president of the association, the Rev. Charles Cuthbert Hall, president of Union Theological Seminary, New York, was introduced and made a short address. In the department of libraries Prof. J. H. Canfleld, librarian of Columbia University, advocated the abandonment of the Sunday-school library. He said it is difficult to see why it will not be much more satisfactory to abandon the Sunday-school library entirely as such and as now administered and care for this matter through the publie library and its branches and reading rooms. On the other hand. Miss E. L. Foote. of the New York public llbrarv. advocated the desirability of uniting existing Sundayschool libra rtaa with the nearest publiclibraries. She said that as the public library cannot usually :iffoil all the books it is called upon to furnish and as secular and religious are so fundamentally separate! in our public ideas, the hutch m .öt furnish the literature n.-dd in the teligious development and education of its people.

FISKE AND MDONOUGH. Who Will Appear in a Comedy Sketch at the Grand Next Week eral other acts on the programme that have proved very amusdng. Although billed as a "house show," the vaudeville entertainers now at the Grand are all traveling together as a combination. They go from here to Cincinnati and then on to New York for a long engagement. Elfte Fay will introduce two new songs the week after next in New York, both written by an Indianapolis newspaper man and published by M. Witmark & Sons. Mr. Lee is studying some new impersonations with which he expert to surprise New York audiences. The Grand's bill next week will be headed by the famous Nelson family of acrobats. the well-known comedy team, Matthews and Harris, and Fiske and McDonoufrh in a little play. Eddie Foy had no sooner scored a big hit in vaudeville than he had to discontinue that line of stage work. He went on the vaudeville stage three weeks ago and it took him two weeks to whip his act Into shape. He scored an immense success in Washington last week and was Just beginning to be pleased with himself when he receive ii word that he would have to cancel his VSUderUli dates and report for rehearsal at the New York Casino. He had signed a contract some time ago to appear as the leading comedian in the new musical travesty with the ridiculous title of "Piff, Paff, l'ouff," and found he could not break the contract. His vaudeville act was called "The Man Behind the Gun," and was said to be very funny. When David Belasco wrote "The Heart of Mainland" he is said to have directed his chief effort toward historic fact, particularly as it related to battles of the civil war and the feeling between people of the Norih and South. But he went back much further than that war for the origin of his chief character. Maryland Calvert. She was the daughter of Leonard Calvert, colonial Governor of Maryland, who, with 200 emigrants, landed on the bank of the Potomac river in 1634. The daughter, who is impel sonated in the play by Eulalia Bennett, was a famous beauty of her time. The play closes at the Park to-night. Its performance there on Thursday afternoon marked 1,634 times it has been played in this country, the figures of the date of the Calvert landing. f Forbes Robertson, who made such a strong impression in this city last week, in his impersonation of Hamlet, has scored a triumph in Washington as the melancholy Dane. This splendid English actor begins his New York season in "Hamlet" Monday evening. He was booked for only two weeks at the Knickerbocker, but when the management found that his forthcoming engagement was creating such an unusual amount of Interest, preparations were commenced to extend the season indefinitely. In his performance New York will see a truly great piece of acting. Upon the shoulders of Edmund Gerson has fallen the task of engaging 600 chorus girls and 150 ballet dancers for the great spectacular musical show, "Louisiana," to be produced by Bolossy Kiralfyattho St. Louis exposition. Most of the dancers will bo imported from Vienna. Gerson has sent cable messages to several foreign agencies, asking them to immediately gather together available ballet girls and secure their services at once for this country. The last performance of Phil Sheridan's "City Sports" burlesque show will be given at the Empire to-day. The week has been a fairly successful one. Next week the Empire will have as its attraction Robie's Knickerbocker Burlesquers, said to be one of the best, entertainments of its class on the road this season. WIFE AND CHILDREN ARE GIVEN FOR FISHING NETS Virginia Man Sells Family and Decamps with Booty When Court Annuls Transaction. NORFOLK. Va., March 4 Vhrn John Outlaw, of Currituck county, North Carolina, became tired of his wife and two children several weeks ago he sold the trio, with all his love and affection for them, to his brother, Jerome Outlaw. He received in exchange two fishing nets. The matter was reported to the authorities and warrants were sworn out. The trial occurred at Currituck. It developed the fact that John Outlaw did not think there was anything wrong in the affair. Neither did Mrs. Outlaw nor Jerome Outlaw. When John Outlaw became aware that there was a possibility of the transaction being annulled by court he gathered up his ttshing nets and decamped. Jerome and Mrs. Outlaw were found guilty of illegally living together, but as the children are dependent upon the couple for support no penalty was inflicted. Declares Churches Are Dyinir. NSW York.

Belts of soft suede leather, either in gray or mode, with insets of heavy moire silk of the same shade, are attractive accompaniments for the fresh spring shirtwaistsA white silk sailor collar cut in square effect is one of the accessories shown for the accompaniment of the shirtwaist frock. The collar is of very heavy silk ornamented with fagoting and medallions, and- will add a pretty touch of elaboration to a simple? white liaeu frock. Medallions which are to play a popular part in the trimming of all garments this season are shewn on some of the new stockings and one pretty pair of very fine black lisle has heavy white lace medallions set one above the other, surrounded by tiny riowers and dots embroidered in white silk. The Russian blouse is latest development of the summer shirtwaist suit and some pretty models are shown by the shirtmakers. One model is ornamented with stitched revers and vest and the blouse is shirred for some distance below the belt failing in full folds below the shirring. The Russian blouse Is one of the most becoming styles of garments to some figures and It adds a spice of variety to the eternally popular shirtwaist. 4The metal decorated belts of medallions fastened together with chains set over silk folds are among the effective belts of the season. The handsomer ones cost $12 or $15, but there are others at lesser prices that are very attractive and not at all cheaplooking. One of the small silver medallions set in groups with connecting chains cost but a few dollars, and another of goldfinished medallions, set with stones, sells for $3.50. The latter belt is simply a series of the medallions with inner slides, through which is slipped a narrow folded belt of peau de sole. Boston Men and Boston Bass. Since the national educational convention was held in Boston last summer it has been bruited about the middle West and even the far West that, in the serious and highly intellectual city of Boston, the well known "Boston bag," in size and construction an article for feminine use, was openly carried in the city of Boston by Boston men. An Indiana woman, who had been informed by several truthful teachers that the Boston men carried Boston bags, was so wrought upon by skeptical curiosity that she dispatched a letter, with self-addressed postal card inclosed, to a high public official In Boston, politely requesting to be informed if it were true that Boston men carried Boston bags; and, if so, would the high official gentleman kindly state what the Boston men carried in their Boston bags. The request was honored in these words, on the return postal: "Replying to your favor of Jan. 21 I will say that I presume the lady referred to the practice among certain professional gentlemen who carry legal documents in receptacles such as you describe. I am informed by the representative of a leading newspaper that recently a Chinaman was seen carrying a chicken in a Boston bag." Menus for Two Days.

The most casual observer of fashions r ust have noted the omnipresence of the high fitted girdle. Girdle frames of strong tape3 held in place by bones are sold at the notion counters. These lace in front, and are adjustable to most figures. It is an easy MMtteff to drape wide ribbon or silk over the frames, hiding the fastening with bows or drapery. The frames cost something less than a dollar. Many other little aids to the girl who wishes to dress well at small expense are seen in the shops. L'nders'eeves, and the scarcely less fascinating sleeve ruffles which finish coat and gown sleeves, are to be had. They freshen up a gown wonderfully. A blue foulard that has grown passe might be sent to the cleaner's to be made immaculate, and, having been stripped of most of its trimmings, miade attractive with a deep collar and sleeve ruffles of batiste and lace. The ruffles are usually double, striped with Valenciennes, and rtnely plaited. With some patience they can be made at home. About half of the n.-w voll: gowns have transparent ruffles at the cuffs, and many of the more elaborate tailor gowns are furnish.- 1 with them. As a rule, they are made of batkdc and hue lace, even when heavy lace is used on the rest of the gown. Chiffon, lace and net undersleeve-s are also seen. March-Hare Tea Party. Table Talk.

THE FIRST SPRING HATS MAKE A VER Y A TTRA CTIVE DISPLA Y

Verdict of Feminine Observers Old Are All that Could Be Correspondence of te Indianapolis Journal. 1 IOEW YORK. March 2.-Ve are enjoying a brilliant display of spring millinery here in Gotham this week In spite of wind and rain, snow and sleet, end are reveling in lovely colors, fair blossoms and delicate laces, even while we shiver a bit as the wind howls and old winter seems doing his best to leave us with as bad a record as he can boast. It is March. Let the thermometer tell what tale it will, Easter and spring sunshine are on their way will be with us before many weeks. Spring hats must be considered and the all-important questions of shapes and colors pondered on and discussed. While it is several years now since Easter ceased to mark a transition and. while we none of us would be guilty of donning special finery for that day, the end of Lent marks also the end of winter; Eatter means the budding forth into spring and the season brings the demand as surely as when the seal of fashion was set upon making rtie change sharply on the day itself. As I hinted in my letter of last week, we are to have a season of much loveliness and of great variety. Yet, while this is true, shapes take two general forms the turban, which preferably is boat-shaped, and the big picture hat, with variations included in each. White will be greatly liked and much worn for the carriage and for formal occasions, but champagne and pale blue are close rivals and many black medels are so fascinating as to lead one to believe they must be given first place. Tulle and lace are favorite materials. Chiffon has been too general to continue smart and tulle has a delicacy and a charm that nothing quite rivals. Jet is to be freely used on black and touches of brilliant spangles on colors. We are to have both flowers and feathers, ribbon as well as lace for garniture. Straws are marvels of beauty, lustrous and soft of. braid, and are eo pliable as to be used as trimming as well as for the foundation shapes. Among the novelties is one woven of straw and silk combined that is really exquisite in effect and so beautifully soft as to allow of making into all shapes as well as Into garniture of many sorts. The day of stiffness is gone, and straw, as well us other things, has yielded to the demand until the biaids shown are as delicate and admit as many possibilities as if woven of finest silk. CONCERNING FLOWER HATS. As is commonly the case with the first showing there are numbers of flower hats, but, while they answer certain purposes well, they are not new nor do they represent the season's best. To be sure, some novelties come up and tulle with Mowers is both good and smart, but they serve rather for between seasons' wear than for really fashionable models for spring and summer. There are some exceptions to the rule, however, and some flower toques that are essentially charm'ng and chic, as one, in boat shape, made entirely of white hyacinths imbedded in white tulle with only bits of the tender green foliage to give color, and another that is all of double violets set in violet tulle with a single spray of white roses at the left side, with still a third that is entirely made of hyacinths in the peculiar bluish violet the flower shows. Big hats take many forms, but the newest and most notable is, unquestionably, that known as the baby hat. It has a flat crown and drooping brim and is trimmed with lace forming a fall which greatly intensities this last. In common with many others in picture style, its trimming also droops at the back, giving a generally sentimental air that is quite in keeping with the season's gowns. That they will be worn upon the street even In summer seems impossible, but for carriage use and the garden parties, that are quite sure to come with June, they are most charming and certainly may be looked for in numbers. The lacs best liked are the repressc. white Chantilly and Llerre, but there is no ttxed law. Whichever is chosen is draped over the foundation and arranged to fall over and below the brim all round, while at the back droop loops and ends which often fall to the shoulders. Trimming

Is tips and flowers as preferred. All white is held essentially smart, or cream with white, but roser, and other colored flowers are seen and now and again some colorM ribbon Is introduced. About the whole design there is a general droop, a tendency tcward the downward lines to be noted in the shoulders of our gowns, that renders them quite in keeping with the 1830 revival and is suggestive of those old portraits to which we seem ever to turn for ideas; but, in spite of the similarity, they are individual and belong to this epoch of IW4 as surely as do the cloaks and the costumes, no matter from whence the Inspiration comes. Other big models are of tulle shirred and finely plaited and show a marked tendency toward the decided crowns which make such an admirable foundation for tips and plumes. In these last black is a favorite, either unrelieved or with color found in flowing or delicately tinted tips. One handsome one. for example, is all black with a wide brim and quite high crown, both of which are covered with the tulle shirred over the wires, so giving a transparent eff'-et. Round the edge of the brim and at the base of the crown are ruches of black satin, and a bunch of black tips falls over the brim awav from the crown at the left side. Another, that goes to show how color is introduced, is similar in shape but with lower crown and is relieved by a mass of crushed roses, palest pink, beneath the brim. Still a third model that may be classed with the black hats Includes some white and bits of lovely pale green. Its shape is of the modified baby enter and the under-brlm is all of shirred cream represse lace while the outer brim and crown are of black Chantilly and black Chantilly o.lglng droops over the brim forming a fall. Round the crown is a trimming of black velvet ribbon which also is formed into loops nnd ends that droop at the back. At the Ml front are thr tips that shade from palet green to white and give a most charming touch. SOME NOVEL EFFECTS. All sorts of novel trimmings and treatments appear. The lovel. pliable straw which I have already mentioned Is used in numberless way. and new as well as attractive effects aro obtained. One of the handsomest black h:its shown me is composed of ia frills, one overlapping the other with trimming of black velvet ribbon and lace nnd an under facing of tull on which are set small rosettes whose centers are of straw. Mohair bra'd too is to be exteu-dv- ly used. One of th D imported rao'VIs o: view this week Is composed of creum lace nnd white ninliar with an under brim entirely of the cream braid and numberb ss tdmll.T thlntra arp rhown.

Is that the Styles for Young and Desired by the Most Exacting palest pink straw covered with white lace and shows a decided crown of some three inches high with a wid straight brim that is hnished with an inch-wide binding of black moire. Round the crown is a garland of tiny rosebuds, while at the left side are three white tips that add grace of line aa feathers only can do. Hats of the smaller sort include the turbans already mentioned, a newer model known as the mushroom, and a variation of the colonial that is most effective and most satisfactory. This last rols off the face and sets close against the head at the back and shows a low crown. One that is designed for the all around useful hat, that no woman can afford to be without. Is made of black tulle plisse with the brim of spangled straw trimming and a bunch of black tips with a white pompon at the left front Another is white and shows the brim a mass of white roses set on white tull and still a third is in champagne color with lovely tea roses forming a garniture. The spangled trimming and the new straw woven with Jet are most effective and make a most brilliant showing on the black hats while not a few of the lighter ones show white with pearl or crystal spangles or are all pale blue or pink. AN ENTIRELY NEW SHAPE. An entirely new shape is the mushroom and it is much what Its name Implies, with a flat crown curved down to form a brim. A pretty one is all of cream lace orer white tulle and has a bunch of brilliant red poppies on the crown while the under brim la all of tulle with poppies set close against the bandeau to rest against the hair. Another also is of white lace and violet tulle, but is trimmed with pansies that just encircle the crown and a big bow of ribbon that includes palest pink, blue and violet, so reproducing the color of the flowers. Turbans are made of many things and in many styles. Some charming ones are in the fashionable champagne color and consist of satin straw and tulle, the eottro brim being set round with a series of rosettes made of the straw braid. Others are in boat shape aud are made of tulle and flowers and still simpler ones are of straw with ribbon trimming or ribbon combined with flowers. A novelty is ribbon shirred to give a straw effect and one sees some pretty things of the kind that are quite new. For example one turban is all in browns and tans and made of the silk and mohair braid, while trimming it is Persian ribbon that is shirred to give this entirely new effect. Th boat-shaped turbans are. many of them, exceedingly narrow and form distinct points at the front that, I fear, will not prove quite so generally becoming as one could wish. One that I noted specially is so shaped and is made of heavy silk cords which extend from front to back and so form lines that somewhat intensify the effect. A simpler one is of green satin straw, but eo woven as to give the saro lines from front to back and is trimmed with cream lace falling over the brim and a big white wing. A blue one is blue straw with blue lace, forget-me-nots nnd steel buckles and similar variations are to be met by the score. The really useful severe hats are not yet shown in any number, but will come a bit later to add to the list. Just what forma in addition to the turban they will take I cannot tell you now, but if I am not mistakn, there will be little cause for complaint. As I began my letter by saying the hats of the season are charming, leave little room for even the carping critic tocomplain, and those of th run-about order are likely only to add to the sense of satisfaction when their number shall be complete.
