ACCESSORIES OF DRESS.

BOas. Ruches and Little Capes to Accom-
pany Dainty Costumes
Ruches and boas of tulle, gauze and feath-
ers are quite as fashionable as ever and are
the almost invariable Accomplishments of
evening gowns, whether the latter are full
or demitoilet. Boas of whatever kind are
not long. They often encircle the neck
and reach to the waist, where the ends are
secured by jeweled ornament. Gauze,
plumes and flowers are sometimes mixed
in tho same boa with excellent results.
These fluffy neck decorations and tiny or
namental capes are really useful as warm
weather wraps, affording slight but suf-
ficient protection from a cool breeze.
A pretty innovation is the little cape Of
mousseline de sole matching the COS tune

A Great Deal Of Sleep Essential to Beauty
and Youthfulness.
There are many recipes for attaining
beauty, and much money is spent on med
icines and cosmetics for this purpose, but
the cheapest and most effective beautify-
ing agent is sleep, and plenty of it. Face
washes and skin foods are of little avail to
the woman whose nerve strain is almost
continuous and who has formed tho habit
of taking as little sleep as possible. 1t is
nerve strain which marks wrinkles in the
face, reduces the frmness Of the flesh and
deadens the color, and the more repose and
absolute relaxation that can be obtained
the less will the wear and tear of life tell
on the appearance.
With the best will in the world to take
sleep it is often impossible to lose con-
sciousness. Sleep attained by the use Of
drugs is of little value but drowsy state

horseback Exercise and Sea Bathing rs
BeRutifers-
Horseback exercise possesses, according,
70 some physicians, the faculty of both in
creasing and reducing weight. This is an
apparent contradiction, but is explained
by the difference OF the time at which the
riding is done. If meals are taken imme-
diately after riding, additional flesh is
gained, but II space of an hour and a
half is allowed 70 intervene between the
ride and the meal a decrease Of flesh re-
suits.
Sea bathing Is beneficial TO all persons
who experience reaction after il, but
light exercise just before and Immediately
after the bath is always advisable. Amer
lean women are SO subject to nerve strain
and unequal circulation that sea bathing
Is peculiarly desirable for them, as It af-

BALL ESTATE. CLAIMANTS.
A Hundred of Them Gathered in
This City.

About one hundred men and women,
claiming to be heirs of Joseph Ball, who
died in 1921, leaving an estate now said to
be valued at $10.O00000, are holding a meet
ing at the Bates House for the purpose of
forming an organization and prosecuting
their claims. Ball made his money mainly
from government contracts to furnish sup
plies to the revolutionary soldiers. He was
paid in land, and hundreds of acres of coal
mines, timber lands and other property in
Pennsylvania, District of Columbia, Vir-
ginia, Georgia, Kentucky and South Caro-
lima are said to belong to the estate When
he died Ball left no WILL and his only rela-
tives were ten uncles and aunts on the
paternal side. The estate, it is said. was
never settled up. the property falling into
the hands of persons who were not heirs,
who now hold it by what is termed in law
CURED after the statute of limitations be-
comes operative.
Evansville, sent out letters calling for a
meeting of tho heirs, and the hundred
claimants now gathered together came in
response to the call. They come from vari-
Gus parts of Missouri Iowa, Michigan,
Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Ohio and
Indiana, but chiefly from this State The
most of them seem to know very little
about the estate and some are wondering
why they came. Yesterday a preliminary
meeting was held in which Mr.. Kritch-
baum, of Canton o.. was elected chairman
and L. w. Cans of Mansfield, O., secre-
tary: A committee to devise a plan of in
vestigation and procedure was appointed,

There were several contests reported from
precincts last Saturday, and the committee
this afternoon will have a credentials COM
rnittee selected TO determine the merits CT
the cases to be presented. Hiram b. How
land has been mentioned for the vice chair
manship and, so far as known there is no
opposition to him. He is from the country
and it has been customary in years past
where the chairman lives in the city. to go
outside for the vice chairman. Robert Bry-

the secretaryship, announced yesterday that

hind the prison walls. In May, 1875 he was
placed in his present cell for life for the
crime OF numbering his employer, Edward
BarliOn. a barber of Nincennes. The crime
was brought home to Berner by means of
circumstantial evidence only. Barion had
disappeared and Berner was running the
barber shop. Some person. stirred by curios-
ity account of the absence of Barlion
set watch on Barlion's DOG and found that

claimed was that of Barhon, but another
body was also discovered about the same
time that was also thought to be Barlions
Nevertheless Berner was convicted ON the
evidence. chiefly of the dog, and there mas
always existed doubt of his guilt.
Berner proved to be model prisoner, and
in course of time became the only man III
the prison who had an intimate knoWledge
of the great system of, piping that underlles
the cellhouses and other buildings. This
knowledge made him invaluable TO the
prison authorities, and when the transfer or
prisoners was made last May he only OF the
life convicts was allowed to stay in the he-
formatory Warden Hert said he could not
possibly get along without the man ana that
he must stay. So stay he did. The ole man
broke down in tears OF gladness When ne
learned he was not to be taken north. II
is probable that he will be paroled and re-
tanned at the institution as ain employe, as
he does not desire 10 leave. He has had OPP
portunities to escape many times, being sent
ON errands frequently, but he never vio-
His poor wife during all these years re-
NAMED steadfast to him. She worked
ceaseiessly for his pardon and spent most
of her money riding, on the trains from
Jeffersonville to indianapolis when she
would come, despite all rebuffs, to plead
with the Governor. One letter she wrote
to Governor Matthews reads as follows: Il
will pray to God that you Will give me my
husband for an Easter offering, for have
lived true and faithful to him in all these
years and think / deserve to have him. L

TALK" AT NOBLESVILLE
STREET-CAR CASES MADE BUT LIT
TIE PROGRESS YESTERDAY.
City Engineers Return from the East
-Cfty's New Rules to Protect
Money Lenders.

John w. Kern. city attorney, returned
last night from Noblesville, where the ar
gument was continued and finished before
Judge Neal in the street-car cases. Mr.
Kern said that no new propositions were
advanced in addition to those published in
the Journal last week with reference to
the first days argument Little of public
interest developed in the argument he said
between the attorneys of the rival compa-
MES. Briefs were submitted to the court on
behalf of the city and the tive street-car
companies. There was no rule from the
court as to the sufficiency of the answer
to the city's complaint filed by the Citi-
zens' Street-car Company. but the attor-
neys ntimated to the court that they ex-
pected it would be held to be bad as the
court last week overruled their demurrer,
which contended that the new law is UNI
constitutional. Yesterday neither company
attacked the Hugg 3-cent-fare law, which
has already been held constitutional by
the Supreme Court of the State. The pro-
ceedings were merely talk" as Mr.. Kern
put it, and the briefs filed were largely on
the same line Of thought as the oral argu-
ment. 1t is hoped that an early decision
will be rendered by the court.
If the line of ruling that has already
been established IS followed the court will
undoubtedly kola that the new law is con-
stitutional and that neither company has
any rights in Indianapolis after 1901, as
City Attorney Kern argues. The Supreme
Court has already held the Hugg law to
be valid. If suen decision is rendered it
is anticipated hat both companies will ex-
cept ana carry the case to the Supreme
Court After n decision by that body con-
firming the action Of the lower court, it is
supposed mat the companies will appeal to
the Supreme Court of the United States.
Efforts Will I've m;.de by the city all along
the line 10 have the cases advanced, so that
the exact status Of the street-car situation
may be known before the years ends.
The Hugg 3-cent-fare law is similar to
the New law in vital principles and it is
believed by the city's attorneys that the
court will hold neither company has any
rights TO the streets of Indianapolis after
1901, and that the Supreme Court of the
United States will sustain the state court
in passing on questions in which the State
Constitution is involved, as it has uniform
ly done in the past
