RICE The CHEAPEST FOOD.
Provides Five Times the Food Ma
terial as tho Same Value Ex-
pended for Beef.

AS the marketing" is now the
burning question with every house
keeper, the following statements are
worthy of the consideration. The rice
committee connected with the Rice
Kitchen at the Exposition has issued
tempting and appetizing collection
Of rice receipts in dainty little
brochure called "The Carolina Rice
Cook Book" which can be procured
by any housekeeper who is interested
in this most important question of
what to eat, where to get it, and how
to cook it.
The following very logical argument
in favor of rice as food as compared
with.meat is taken from an article
prepared by the literary bureau Of the
Southern Pacific:
Whether the present high cost of
living is due to the formation OF trusts
or combinations of small dealers, the
fact remains beyond contradiction that
articles upon which the ordinary
individual and his family are compell-
ed to subsist have advanced materially.
This advance has been manifested
all along the line, but particularly has
excited public attention IN the matter
of recent increase in the value of meat
products. The butchers have been in
cluded in the list and today good beef,
meat, veal and pork are selling at an
advance Of 10 to 20 per cent. The
matter is becoming serious, as it idi-
rectly affects the question of living in
the matter Of household expenses, and
the man with the small salary, in
using the parlance of the street, is
s.up against it. That is why we
suggest: 81 you can't afford to eat
meat, eat rice. -
The value per pound is very large
iy in favor of rice, as the cereal pro-
vides five times the food material as
the same value expended for beef.
Rice is cheaper, is more easily digest
ed than any other food and can be
cooked in over two hundred forms,
and it contains every element Of nutri-
tion.
The Minneapolis Tribune says: The
alleged discovery of Prof. Andrews,
of Columbia University, that "rice
will pop like corns,' if subjected to a
sufficiently high temperature, is to
be utilized by Minneapolis company
to produce new breakfast food.
Whether rice can be subjected to heat
of 400 degrees without scorching or
burning it we do not kaow; but if it
can be, it is manifest that it will fur
nish a thoroughly cooked starch food
that ought to be wholesome. It is a
well known theory of cooks and
chemists that starchy foods produce
dyspepsia only when they are eaten
raw or undercooked.
Charleston groeers are now selling
a very fine rice -four made from best
selecEed Carolina rice, and, as it is
almost as cheap as the best grade of
wheat flour, and more nutritious and
more easily digested, rice breads
should become the standard breakfast
bread on every southern table.-News
and Courier.

PAUL LEICESTER FORD MURDERED.
SHOCKING DEATH OF AUTHOR
OF "JANIcE MEREDITH"
His Brother Kills Him and Sends
a Bullet Through His Own
Heart.

New York, May s.-Paul Leicester
Ford, the novelist, was shot and kill
ed today by his brother, Malcom Web
ster Ford, writer and athlete, who, i'm
mediately sent bullet into his breast,
dying instantly. The shooting occur
red at 10 20 a. m., in the handsome
new mansion which PauI Leicester
Ford had built at 81 East 77th street,
and had occupied for about a year. 4
At the time of the shooting there
were in the house besides the two
brothers, Mrs. Paul Leicester Ford,
Miss Elizabeth r. Hall, the novelists'
secretary, and the servants. The nov
elist was sitting at his desk in one
corner of his library, a large, attrac-
tively appointed room at the back Of
the house on the second floor. It is
supposed he was busily engaged at
some literary task. Miss Hall was at
her desk in another corner of the room
about 80 feet from Mr.. Ford. Mrs.
Paul Leicester Ford was in her own
room at the front of the house on the
third floor.
Malcom W. Ford called, as he often
had done, and went to his brother at
his desk. Words were exchanged in
tone so low that Miss Hall could not
hear what was said, though she says
that possibly she might have distin-
guished the words if she had been pay
ing any attention to this particular
meeting of the brothers. Suddenly
there was q revolver shot and Miss
Hall, jumping up, darted from the
room. Then, according to the state
ments of the police, Miss Hall said to
herself that she must act more brayely
and reenter the library.
Meanwhile Malcolm Ford had call
ed her. AS she turned towards him,
he placed his revolver to his heart,
fired and fell, dying instantly. When
Miss Hall turned to look at Paul, he
was still standing at his desk, but
rapidly losing strength. She helped
him to sofa and then ran next door
for Paul Ford's physician, DR.. Eman-
uel Baruch. In less than FIVE minutes
DR.. Baruch arrived and the dying
man, still conscious, was carried up
to room beside his wife's and placed
on his bed. He spoke to his wife, and
asked the doctor for his opinion, show
ing that he expected death and was
going to meet it calmly and bravely.
A few moments later, about 20 min
utes after he was shot, Mr.. Ford died.

FOUND HIS FATHER.
AbsaIom Hiney Had Not Seen Him for
FOrty-0ne Years.


Absalom Hiney, "a railroad brakeman
living at 62 Lorraine street, Toledo, o., has
located his father, George Hiney, whom
he had not seen nor heard from for forty
one years. The elder Hiney lives in this
city at SIT West Seventeenth street and is
a teamster.
In 1861 the father enlisted in the Ohio
volunteers. He left a wife and two chill
dren, one a boy of two years and the other
a girl baby a few months old After leav-
ing for the war Hiney wrote regularly to
his family. As the war dragged on the let
tiers became less frequent. and finally they
ceased altogether.
When the wal ended the husband and
father did not return home. Mrs. Hiney
made inquiry about her husband, but was
unable to find any trace of him.. After sew
ried a man named Lloyd. Her son Alb

rather, and soon afterward left home. AS
Absalom grew older he became anxious to
see his father, whom he believed yet to be
alive. The son began a correspondence
with the War Department and will old
comrades of his father, but without result.
Some time ago Absalom began working
on a railroad, and one day in conversation
with a railroad man who formerly ran out
of indianapolis learned that the latter was
acquainted with a George Hiney in Indian
apolis. Absalom decided to begin an in
vestigation, with the result that he was re-
united TO his father one day last week.
George Hiney, after leaving the war, said
the reason he did not return to his home
was because he could not get along with
his wife's family. He said he is married
again and has two grown children. Apsa-
lom Hiney will return TO his home in To-
ledo, o., tomorrow.

AnabIe ms Entered His Saloon
and Proposed Games of Chance
for Drinks.
PUBLICAN EXPOSED A ROLL
HARRY BOWEN, A LOUISVILLE
CROOK, GRABBED 1T.
Bowen Captured, but a Confederate
Got Away with the Money-Local
Criminals Involved.

Three men, OF whom Harry Bowen, who
SAYS his home is in Louisville, is the leader,
accomplished a bold and successful rob-
berry yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock from
John Hafner, keeper of a saloon at 2722
East Washington street. Bower and
the two men grabbed S125 from Half
ner's counter and fed. Bowen was cap
tured by William Mathews after a chase
of several blocks. The other men, who are
said TO be local crooks, es-
capped. One of them secured the money
from Bowen as they ran out of the saloon
and both are still at large.
The three men entered the saloon about
$3.50 O'Clock, and after buying several glass
es of beer proposed a pool game. Several
games were played. which were won by
Hafner. One of the three men suggested
that dice be shaken for the drinks. Hafner
explained that he did not have dice in the
house. Then the smallest of the three
strangers suggested that money be matched.
This was agreed to, and Hafner and one OF
the men produced silver dollars, which
we're thrown on the bar. The stranger lost
and when the drinks were served the stran-
ger offered a $40 bill to Hafner. The latter
reached under the bar for a cigar box where
ne kept Lcn SnNc "A oiSO OPNA
up a pocketbook containing Sis.
GRABBED THE MONEY.
While Hafner was engaged in counting
out the change one of the three men grab
bed the silver money in the box, which di-
verted Hafner's attention from the larger
pile of money. This was grabbed by Bowen.
The three men did not run until Hafner
produced a revolver. Hafner saw the
small stranger take the bundle OF money
from Bowen. Hafner raised his revolver to
fire when the screams of his mother stopped
him He fred several shots in the air in the
hope of frightening the fleeing thieves.
William Mathews, who was passing the
saloon. took after Bowen. The latter ran to
Temple avenue and then north to New
York street. He tried to hide In a shed in
the rear of a residence on East New York
street when Mathews found him.
Bowen did not give his right name. When
arrested by Bicycle Policemen Morgan and
Simon ne harangued about his knowledge
of the criminal world. From some phrases
tina he dropped 1t is the impression that
he has been in serious trouble before.
