RISING SUN, Ind., May l.-Before Judge Downey, In the Ohio Circuit Court, the cases of James Gillispie, Mrs. Belle Seward and Mr. and Mrs. Myron Barbour, charged with the murder of Elizabeth Gillispie, will be called V-niorrow. According to the announced intention of Ca'pt. Coles, Miss Coles and F. M. Griffith, counsel for the defense, no change of venue will be asked. A special venire of 200 names has been drawn, from which the jury will be selected, and it is believed the trial will be well under way at the close of the first day of the May term of court. Interest in the case is as Intense as it was the night when Miss Gillispie was shot from ambush by an assassin last fall. James Gillispie, the twin brother of the murdered woman, and who is charged with having slain his sister, is confident he will be acquitted in hi3 trial. His long confinement In jail has not affected his health, but it has made him fretful and morose and he receives visitors at the jail with scant courtesy. The bitter feeling against the murderer of Miss Gillispie has not abated with the passing of time, but confidence is expressed in Judge Downey and his court, and the people will be satisfied to let the law take its course. XOVEL COOKIXG UTENSIL. A Stovelifter in Which Eggs May Be Cooked. Who has not thought of this Idea before to utilize the stovelifter as a cooking utensil? It has remained for a man at Amelia, Va., to present to humanity the perfected plan for this purpose, and he has been wise to have the thing patented in order that he may reap the full reward of his labor and brain effort. Proceeding on the theory that the greater number of things that one article may be THE STOVELIFTER. applied to the greater its value, he has made a stovelifter of t-uch a construction that small articles may be cooked within its handle. The accompanying picture explains the idea clearly. The lifter is a sectional affair, and when the contents of an egg or any otht-r article has been placed within it it is only necessary to stick the lower end of the lifter into the hole in the stove plate for which lifters are ordinarily Intended. It U a marvelous! simple, af-

are really soda crackers but such soda crackers as you never had before or even imagined. Indeed, it is a great achievement to make soda crackers so delicious and to deliver them to your table as fresh as they were at the mouth of the oven, untouched by strange hands, untainted with odor, unspoiled by dampness, dust or germs. Think of a beautiful package of royal purple and white containing such a feast as that, for 5 cents. Think what it means to you Mrs. Housewife or you Mr. Breadwinner and what you are losing by not making Uneeda Biscuit an important part of your daily bill-of-f are.

DISPUTE OF DISCOVERERS WADING RIVER, L. I.. May l.-In the possession of Isaac Valentine, notary public, is a packet which every inhabitant with a bump of curiosity would like to .see opened. The little bundle is loaded down with seals, which will not be broken except in the presence of several parties having more than a curious Interest in the contents. The estimated value of the mysterious packet ranges from a few hundred dollars up toward a half million. Some think it is worthless. The contents consist of an old wallet containing money about $400 and some deeds and bonds. The deeds are said to be for property located at Newark, N. J. One story has it that the money includes bills issued in the days of wildcat banking and not worth anything now. A man who used to live in Jersey and who was told about the find says that taxes In Newark are high, and that they have a law that makes a man lose his landed estate in about three years if he fails to pay his taxes. If that be true the property probably has been sold years ago, for it is calculated that the wallet was hidden or lost upward of sixty years ago. Anyway, those who found the package forgot to examine its contents before it was scaled. It was found under a portion of a house built in the middle of the first half of the last century. Until n-cently the place belonged to th Hudson family. The house stands near the north end of Long pond, overlooks that sheet of water, arul is not far from the road running down to Manor. Sometimes the place was used as a report for hunting parties and fishermen before the land hereabout was all posted with "keep off" signs. Htnry Hudson owned it in those days. He is said to have been somewhat eccentric. When he died he left it to his son Charles, and when Charles died the property went to his surviving brothers. Franklin and Ellsworth Hudson, subject to beuuests to Mrs. Pauline Wall and her daughter Hannah. Mrs. Wall had been Charles Hudson's housekeeper. Th heirs agreed to sell the property, and Gerald Coventry, a New Yorker interested iu theatricals, became the purchaser. He is having the house fixed up and modernized. To bring the building up to modern hre insurance standards they lifted the oldfashioned hearthstone. Under it the old wallet was found. Albert Davis, who has been acting as Mr. Coventry's representative, was there. He grabbed the find from the workmen, and a Dispute arose. Postmaster Dave Arnold was made arbitrator. He looked wise, and said that the Hudson heirs perhaps might have a say. Notary Valentine was then made the custodian of the wallet, which was wrapped in paper aud la twine, and wafered and waxed.

II FAMILY REARS CHILDREN LIKE SAVAGES Have Been Without Clothing, Except That Made from Sacking, to Years of Maturity. HORSES ARE WELL KEPT NEWARK, N. J., May 1. Investigation has recently been made by the Morris County S. P. C. C. Into a peculiar case, but the organization finds itself unable to do anything in the matter. It was reported that a family -named Johnson, though wealthy, is living in a semi-barbaric state near Flocktown, and that two children were treated very badly. The children are a girl, now twenty-one years old, and a boy, twenty years old. The father is Peter D. Johnson. He moved to Flocktown from Three Bridges and married Hannah Dickerson, whose father wat' one of the most influential men in that section of the country, and who left his daughter a large and well-paying farm, with a goodly sum of money in the bank. When Johnson marled Miss Dickerson he was a widower with the two children, Ida and Willard. The country about Flocktown is very sparsely settled, and the young man and woman seldom met outsiders, and when they did, generally ran away. Their clothes were made from feed bags, and they never had clothes fit to apepar in public. The family works the farm from early morning until late at night, and their labors bring in goodly returns. They never knew what shoes were. Though treating themselves poorly, the family has a stable full of hcrses, every one sleek, clean, well-fed and never abused. Each horse is worked only so many hours a day. The stalls are kept in a most cleanly manner. THe father has not had a haircut or a shave in fifteen years and has the appearance of a wild man. while the stepmother never wears a shoe while around the farm. The family is afflicted with a religious mania, but never attends church. The members continually read the Bible. The father sind stepmothe r have separate bank accounts, as she pays him a percentage yearly on the earnings. The S. P. C. C. was unable to do anything, as the children were more than fourteen years of age. DR. COLLINS IS NOT SURE HE IS SANE Detroit Physician Asks New YorkHospital Authorities to Look Into His Case.

DRAMATIC STARS TURNED OUT ST AJJOLLAB A WEEK Stellar Factory Starts Up to Train Artistic Souls at Home for Limelight's Glare. AID IN GETTING PLACED NEW YORK, May 1. One of the cholca attractions which the Rialto Just now la offering stage-struck girls Is that of a "star" factory where stars, not of the heavenly kingdom, but of the earth, earthy, are being turned out at the rate of 6,0u0 a week, according to the glib and facile reports of one of Its managers, who Just now is occupying a "studio" of diminutive proportions In Broadway, but later assures his visitors he means to exchange for more palatial quarters higher up. No lonirer is it nprps.nrv in hornmc . chorus girl and "work up" through the various stages of toilsome effort. No longer need those who are assured they have a "calling" to appear before the footlights plod their weary way from manager to manager. For all that is necessary for her who pants for the plaudits of the crowd, the flash of the limelights and the glare of the footlights Is to remain at home and subscribe for the story of How-to-bc-come-an-actress-for-Jl-a-week and the deed is done. The fair aspirant for histrionic honors can continue her services as typewriter, waitress or scullery maid, while she waits, for the valuable information imparted in the twenty lessons which is to place her in the ranks of Bernhardts, Rejanes and Hadings can easily be imbibed during an afternoon off, or in the still solitude of an evening when the family are enwrapped In the arms of Morpheus.It's really a bargain sale of etellar directions, for the price has, dropped, from J23 to $lu for the entire twenty lessons. Women bargain hunters, it is said, are taking the course Just because it's cheap, not in the least because they think they can act. Most enticing circulars setting forth th information necessary to become a star by mail tncourage the doubtful ones as follows: "There are many persons students of both sexes In whose souls exists the divine spark of dramatic expression, who for 'various reasons are unable to pursue the studies which are a requisite to prepare for the stage. "It 1 for this class that this compilation of a life's studios 1r intende!. Its object ia to act at once as a teacher of the fundamental principles of the art of acting and a 'beacon light' to guide the feet of the ambitious aspirants for dramatic honors Into the paths which are bst calculated to brir.jj success and the proper regard for labors we-11 expended." For "those whose souls crave for that artistic exprfs.ion which I? at present denied them, and which by painstaking effort is within the reach of all who sen k in the right direction." this course of studies ia open. Hjw to tell whether you have the Area of histrionic art blazing within your breast two ejueKtions are given you to answer. "If," says the circular, "you can answer them in the affirmative, we have no nesltation in. taylng that our course of studies will tit you for entering uimn a career in which you will probably be eminently successful." They are the following: "Am I rltted by nature to follow a stage career? "Have I ever experienced a dej-lre to 1mpersonute any character whi h I may have seen at any ttme upon the stase?" Among the numerous branches of learning which are thrown in for $1 a week are stage dcjortment. dramatic expression. 8tage business, theatrical technique, rehearsal of plays, voice culture, art of making up. pantomime-, life study and physical culture. Furthermore, in addition to all this wealth of knewledge, a "very, thorough course in fencing" will soon le Incorporated with, it may be, a "tinihing school" here in the city. On what th ready-made actress is more interested in than anything el, the matter of obtaining an cngaK'ment. the circular throws the least light. With airy persiflage it concludes: "It has been admitted that the principal requisite in the actor'H life is Ptcurlng an engagement. and to this all-important fha?e all the knowledge of years of actual experience will le brought, and the student will be enlightened upon the many and; devious way of obtaining an entrance Into Uia Ir.UB.iUc ircXcsiioa."
