correspondent of the Philadelphia
Press, To the morphine habit the dew
otees of sensationalism have now added
the practice of smoking tea cigarettes.
Special grades OF the finest tea are used

the reaction in the form of n nervous

who rather goes in for ali these things,

Thus, by industriously ringing the

Examiner. She tells me that it is now

not less than 100000 worth Of

in every direction from her. Next
to Mrs. Mackay's collection
comes very beautiful one that
has been selected with great care,
owned by Mrs. John l.. Shepard. Its
value is certainly not less than 800, 600.
A pair of handsome diamond necklaces
that are owned by Miss Shepard, being
a gift from her parents. are worth
$75, 900 worth Of diamonds. rubies and
precious stones. These are mainly set
up in very fanciful and unique ways,
and their fair wearer's taste in the Sc

commended.
The beautiful young lady, Miss Hattie
