NO PARDON FOR COLLINS.
Governor Stanley Said to Have So Ex-
pressed Himself Today.

A rumor that the attorneys for John
Collins will make an application to
Governor Stanley for a pardon for the
young man gained circulation in some
parts of the city today and was re-
sponsible for many inquiries being di-
rected to the governors Office. The ex-
ecutive office employees knew nothing
about the matter.
Several persons who telephoned to in
Quire concerning it asked to be given
opportunity to file protests before
the case was heard.
1t is said that Governor Stanley told
one of his close friends that it would
be useless for John Collins to ask a
pardon at this time. The governor de-
clines to discuss the case for publica-
ton but it is known that he would not
look with favor upon any effort to re-
lease Collins, at this time, from the
penitentiary.

ON THE GRAND JURY.
An Indiana Woman is Drawn-Is She
EIigibleP

Muncie, Ind, April 2S-The Delaware
county grand jury that is to convene
for the present term of court is badly
tangled because a woman unintention-
ally has been drawn as a grand jury
member. Yesterday the court commits
sioners, while making their usual draw
ing to determine who should serve upon
the grand jury, selected the name of Ora
Hall, not knowing who Ora Hall was.
When the court bailif arrived at the
Hall home he found that the person
named was a woman, and probably not
entitled to serve upon the grand jury.
At present there seems to be no law
against the woman's sitting upon the
jury merely on account of her sex, and
the commissioners are hunting around
to discover some disqualification. In the
meantime Mrs. Hall enjoys the distinc-
ton of being the only woman in Indiana.
so far as known, who has been impan-
elled upon a grand jury.

CLARA WARDS PHOTO.
French Jury Fixes Its Value at $500
Queer Suit

Paris, April 2S.-CIara Ward, the d.
vorced Princess Chimay, has figured
again in the courts, though this time
she is but a passive figurante in the
affair. Some time ago she permitted a
photographer to take a picture of her
in one of the startling poses with which
she has scandaliZed Europe. The pic
ture was taken for the purpose of sell
ing copies to the public.
Later, however, the former princess
gave permission to an Illustrated jour-
nal to publish the photograph. The
phOtograp her grew indignant. He de-
clared that the publication of the pic
ture had destroyed it's value for SELL
ing purposes, and he instituted a suit
against the journal for damages.
Now the court has awarded the pho
tOgrapher a verdict for damage in the
sum of $500, or 1000 francs, that sum be-
ing. the price which the jury set on the
picture.

The antics and genaftexions of these iIni-
1ators of the dark Ethiopian were excru-
ciatingly funny.
The principal characters in the bur-
1eSque were equally well taken the most
captivating probably being the gushing
fair Juliet, taken by Mr.. Frank Weight
man, who. with his 225 pounds of weight
and his birdlike voice, captivated not only
Romeo but the entire audience. Mr. W.
F. ROehr, who acted as musical director

with which this amateur performance was
given, as did also Mr.. l. H Robinson
