INDIAN TREASURES.
A Peep at the Treasure Room of the Ma
haraJah OF Baroda.

"a
haraJah of lIaroda.
Mr.. w. S. Caine writes from India of
his visit to the Maharaiah OF Baroda.
1--WE were," he says, taken to the old
palace, in the heart of the city, to see
the treasure room. Two huge cheetahs,
carefullymuzzled, were on the palace
steps, used for hunting bucks. The
regalia of Baroda is valued q. 5000, 900
pounds sterling. We were f.st shown
the jewels worn by the Maharajah on
state occasions. These consist Of a
gorgeous collar OF 500 diamonds, some
OF them as gig as walnuts, arranged in
five rows. surrounded by top and
bottom row of emeralds the same size;
the pendant is famous diamond called
The Star of the Deccan.' An aigrette
to match is worn in the turban; then
followed strings of pearls of perfect
roundness, graduated from the size of
pea to large marble; wondrous
rings, necklaces, clusters OF sapphires
and rubies as big rs grapes; and, great
est marvel OF all, a carpet, about ten
feet by six, made entirely of strings of
pure and colored pearls, with great
central and corner circles Of diamonds.
This carpet took three years to make,
and cost 200. 900 pounds. This was one
of Khande Rao's mad freaks, and was
intended to be sent to Mecca to please
Mahometan lady who had fascinated
him, but the scandal of such n thing
being done by Hindoo Prince was too
serious, and it never left Baroda. We
were also taken TO see two guns, weigh
ing 2S0 pounds each, of solid gold, with
two companions of silver, the ammuni-
tion wagons, bullock harness, and ram
rods being all silver. These We're made
at the order of Malhar Rao, to take the
shine out of Khande Rao's carpet.
suspect the present Maharajah would
like nothing better than to coin them
down into good money and build the
Technical School, which is one of his
dearest hopes, IN. Y, Tribune.

only limit his prospective wealth by
his tapacity to dig, and that often

the clammer may know where to dig.

no more brilliant event has ever occurred in
Washing ton than the triennial conclave of
Knights Templar from October 9Th to 18th,
1889. Every three years this event attracts
the attention of the country to some city,
but for many years past western cities have
enjoyed the honor. Washington is now the
favored point, and it may we'll be said that
no city in the world is better adapted to
such purpose. Wide avenues, hedged by
handsome buildings form a background for
grand spectacular display. that cannot be
surpassed in America. 1t will be gala
week in the Capital, and thousands of peo-
pie will go to witness it.
In order that every inducenent may be
offered the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
will reduce its rates to Washington on this
occasion by half. This company will
sell excursion tickets to Washington from
all ticket stations on its lines, October 9Th,
9th, 10th and 18th, valid for return until

and mysteriously disappeared, while
that same night Maharity turned up in
Elkton, in company with colored man,

by Edward Heald, Benjamin c. Wells,
William Mulshenock, James Barley and
the Rev. William P. Swartz, pastor of
Central Presbyterian Church. The pris-

was sentenced to pay 5000 restitution

of the neighborhood, the decorations of
the chapel for the Harvest festival which
began on Thursday and which were ar
ranged by the young ladies of the church
adding to the attractiveness of the SER
vice. The bridal party entered the chapel
to the melodious strains of the wedding
march from Lohengrin, very artistically
rendered by Miss Annie Coudon who
presided at the organ, the responses of
both celebrants being distinctly audible
throughout the building. After the cere-
mony the happy couple passed to the rear
