Bilious or Spring Fever, or some other
Spring sickness that will unfit you fer
a seasons work. You will save time,
much sickness and great expense if
you will use one bottle of Hop Bitters

A British Crown Jewel.
London Truth.

If l am to believe the Berlin pa
pers, an exceedingly valuable black
pearl, belonging to the jewels of the
British Grown, and which was stolen
more than a century and half ago,
was lately discovered at Pesth, and
secured on behalf of the Queen. 1t
seems that some months ago a dirty
looking Hebrew presented this pearl
for sale to a jeweler in the Harrens-
trasse, who referred him to Blerder-
mann, the Court jeweler at Vienna.
The latter had no sooner seen the
jewel than he called in the
police and gave the Hebrew in
custody. 1t was then ascertained
that the son of Israel told the truth
when he asserted that he knew not
the real value of the pearl, which
had been pawned to him for twenty
forms by poor devil of the name
of Gyuri. The latter turned out to
have been in former times per-
sonal servant to Count Batthyany,
by whom he had been presented
with the pearl, then set on a gold
pin. The Count seems never to
have been aware of its value, but
subsequent inquiries led to its iden-
LITIGATION as one of set of three
black pearls, the finest ever known,
which were stolen from Windsor in
1928. The price paid for it on be-
half of the Queen is said to have
been close on $4,000.

The Present Rate OF Freight Mt Pitts

One of the most favorable elements OF
tho business situation at present is that of
freights. The opening Of the new railway
line and the expansion Of the river inter-
ests have. worked an almost complete row.
olution In the position OF Pittsburgh as re-
CARDS the cost of transportation. The rail-
ways are still taking grain and provisions
from Chicago TO the seaboard at the same
rates as TO Pittsburgh; but this may be at
tributcd almost wholly to the unimportant
volume OF that trade here at present. On
her leading interests Pittsburgh is now
getting better rates OF freight than ever
before. The low rat6s prevailing between
this city and the east Is an instance OF that
sort. Another illustration Of the improve
ment made is the reduction OF rates on pig
iron from Youngstown, which were 81 81
per ton in 1875, and have declined to 81 IS
per ton Mt present. There is much room
for improvement in this respect yet, but
tho progress that has been made Is matter
for congntulation. The importance OF the
river as an element in transportation was
never more apparent than nov, a route
which transports iron 10 Cincinnati at Sc
per hundred pounds, 10 Louisville for loo
and to st. Louis for l2lc, as tho river Is
now doing, Is Of almost incaIculabo value
to our manufacturing interests.
