RENEWS Fight
FOR FORTUNE
LAURA BIGGAR, FORMER ACTRESS,
WANTS REMAINDER HUS-
BANDS ESTATE.

Jersey City, N. j., Nov. 13.-Vice-
Chancellor Griffin, sitting in Chancery
Court, today took up for hearing the
case of Laura Biggar Bennett, who at
one time was well known actress,
against the executors of the estate of
her husband, Henry M. Bennett.
When the settlement of the estate,
which was worth nearly 100000,
began, it is said that the actress
agreed to accept $4,000 as her share,
and has received large part of this
amount She is now endeavoring to
recover the remainder.
Laura Biggar's fight for the Bennett
estate has for more than ten years
been sensational in the extreme.
Starting life on the stage about TWEEN
ty-five years ago under William A.
Brady's management, Miss Biggar
married an actor named Richardson,
and after divorcing him was married
to James Willis Mcconnell. Later
she became the wife of Burt Haverly,
an actor. While she was playing the
Widow in "a Trip to Chinatown" she
met Henry NJ. Bennett, millionaire
owner of theatres in Pittsburg and
Brooklyn.
Bennett even then was SO old as to
be decrepit. His attention to Miss
Bigger resulted in trouble with her
husband AS a result Haverly secured
a divorce. Miss Biggar then left the
stage, where she had made her most
decided hit as LA in "The Clemenceau
Case" and became the nurse and COM
panion of Bennett.
On April II, 1902, Bennett died, and
Miss Bennett was left 60 per cent of
his estate under his will Not con-
tent with this settlement Miss Biggar,
who then called herself Mrs. Bennett,
put in a claim for the entire estate on
the ground that she was Benn TT S
widow. Following this claim charges
of conspiracy were brought against

CLEVER POSTCARD CIPHER
Simple In Construction, but Will Foil
All Efforts Of UnlnItiated to y
Read the Message.

q Z b. D. q . Z q I. 10 E s =
Postal cards would undoubtedly be
in much greater demand than they
are for purposes Of correspondence
but for the fact that the messages
they convey are open to all through
whose hands they may pass. Yet this
objection is easily overcome. There
are some beautifully simple ciphers
that are almost impossible for anyone
not in the secret to read. Only by
luck, for instance can even the ex-
pert find the key to short message
written in the .'trellis" or grill CT
pher. It is extremely simple and
thousands OF people use it to battle
folks who take an interest in the con-
tents Of postcards. To use it. all you
have to do Is to cut a few oblong
holes in blank postcard, place it
over the postcard you mean to write
on, and write your message in the
holes. Then take the upper card on
land write some natural reading sen
fences round the cipher words. Any
inquisitive person reading the card
when it reaches your correspondents
house will find q message OF no inter-
est whatever Only your correspon-
dent himself, or herself, can read the
real message, and that by placing on
the card a blank card cut out ex-
actly the same way as your own.
