THE Vanderbilts spend enormous
sums on furniture; t1fTC-a-brac, and ar
tistic decorations, but comparatively
little on jewelry. Not one member Of
the family cares for gems except as an
accessory to the toilet, and, while the
women wear costly and beautiful dia-
monds, they have not among them
rare stone, finely cut intaglio, or an
ornament representing any original
taste or disccrnment. The Astors, on
the contrary, own one of the finest col
lections of gems in the country, and the
late Mrs. John Jacob Astor was CON
noisseur whose Judgment was respected

1t is now generally believed in police
circles that the assassins of
pr. Cronin, after having completed
their crime, stole boat from
the boat house, near Fishers Garden,
Sunday morning, and rOwcd out upon
the lake until they met sailing
vessel IN waiting for them, and
on that vessel proceeded TO some Cana

meet the reporter, Long, and fake"
up the tcuclOus interview with DIR.
Cronin, which was telegraphed to the
American papers. 1t was evidently
the intention of the assassins,
through this method, To- throw
the detectives and the friends of
the murdered man oil the scent long
enough To allow the body in Its hiding
place IN the Lake View catch basin, to
become so thoroughly decomposed as
TO be unrecOgnlZable.
