Law the doctors remains. Officers were
stationed on the stairway and at basement
door and were once or twice obliged to
use their clubs in forcing the crowds back.
The tumult continued far into the night.
Long before midnight at least forty men
who had known Cronin had identified the
body. The suburban police will keep the
body and the towel at Lakeview until the
coroner orders otherwise.
The man Woodruff, or Black, who after
his arrest fortnight ago confessed to hav-
ing helped to carry off a trunk containing
the corpse of woman from barn in the
city the night of Cronin's disappearance,
was interviewed tonight In Jail. He mani
tested no surprise or discomposure when
told that the body of DR.. Cronin had been
found north of where the trunk was dis
covered. but while he apparently talked
freely about the matter he seemed careful
not to go outside the story he had origi-
nally told. He repeatedly said if he had
not been locked up IN jail he could and
would have cleared up the trunk mystery
before this time

BACK FROM HER LARK,

FRANKLIN, Pa, May 22.-While our citi-
zens are still trying to solve the mystery
of the death of pretty Mary Tobin another
sensation was created today by the arrival
in the city of Miss Annie Griffiths. Two
years ago the relatives of Miss Griffiths in
this city received dispatch giving an ac-
count of Annie's death by foul means in
Kansas. The dead body of a woman was
found in Kansas City in whose dress
pocket was found a letter addressed to
Miss Annie Griffiths, Franklin, Pa, and
whose cuffs were marked with that lady's
initials. AS Miss Griffiths was in the west
her friends telegraphed on to have the re-
mains sent here, but they had already been
buried and it was thought besu not to dis
turb them. For over two years Annie has
been mourned as dead and the sensation
she created among her relatives by sudden
ly appearing before them can be better
imagined than described, but she is here
just the same and is at loss to account
for the finding of the letter in the pocket
of the dead woman and don't give much
account of herself only saying she has
been in the west.

nope, ana In pale green transparent crys-
tails among the sand Of stream In
Auvergne. Inferior varieties of the chryso-
lite are called olivines, and are found in the
basalt Of the Giants Causeway, the iayas
of Unkel, on the Rhine, and those of the
Sandwich Islands. 1t is sometimes found,
too, In meteoric stones.
Jacinth is only another name for hyacinth,
and the hyacinth is variety Of another
silicate called zircon, found in Ceylon, Nor
way, some Of the islands of Scotland and
certain Irish streams. Zircon occurs in
crystals, generally square, four-sided
prisms terminated by four-sided pyramids,
and also In grains, sometimes white, but
more frequently red, yellow, green or
gray. The colorless or slightly smoky kinds
are called jargoon; the bright red hyacinth
and the grayish or brownish zirconite.
Another precious silicate is the more per-
feet form of schorl called tourmaline. The
red tourmaline or rubellite, which is
brought from Brazil, Ceylon, Avar and
Siberia, possesses considerable beauty. The
transparent colored varieties are sometimes
still cut into ring stones, ETC., and when
reduced to thin slices are much valued for
making experiments in the polarization of
light
The list Of precious silicates is not yet ex-
hausted. There is, for instance, that known
as jasper. 1t Is found in various colors-
spotted, banded or variegated. It takes a
fine polish, and the variety and richness of
its colors render it still useful in the orna-
mental arts. Allied to this is the blood
stone, jaspery variety Of quartz. of dark
green color, variegated with red spots, and
was once quite fashionable material for
seals and ring stones. When the spots are
yellow, instead of red, this stone is called
the heliotrope Still another silicate that
takes rank among the precious stones is
the lapis lazuh or lazulite. 1t is Of beauti-
full color, often speckled with yellow grains,
and is still made use Of in mosaic and inlaid
work, as well as for making vases and other
costly ornaments.
Quartz, except where it contains rich
gold deposits, is not generally considered
precious stone, but there is variety called
the rose quartz, which certainly comes uu-
der that head. 1t is of q beautiful rose red
or pink color, and nearly transparent. 1t is
found in Ceylon and Bavaria, aud is often
sold for much more precious stones. Adu-
laria, or felspar, likewise is not of much
value, but that Respondent variety found
in Siberia and Norway of pale yellowish
color and called the sunstone is certainly a
jewel among stones. The play Of color on
gold sunstone is simply beautiful.
There are scores Of other precious stones
that are not found in the every day list, but
this article must be brought to close with
the statement that the red garnets so com
monty seen are but one Of very many varie-
ties, which include the cinnamon stone of an
orange-yellow, the water garnet, which is
colorless; the grossula, which is olive, and

ing Colonel Joseph Lyons was elected brig
adler general to succeed General S. II.
Kelsey, of Atchison. This afternoon the

of the word. Five hundred and fifty
knights were in line, headed by Marshal's
famous band, of Topeka. With their
splendid uniforms, their glittering swords
and their beautiful banners they
made a display such as is rarely
seen in our western cities. After parading
through the principal streets the divisions
boarded the rapid transit trains for Fort
Leavenworth, where the competitive drill
took place. The first prize, 5000, was
awarded to Mystic division No. -, of
Girard, Kan; the second prize, 800, to
Erie division No. IS, of Erie, Kan, and the
third prize, SIS, to Kansas City division
No. 3, of Kansas City. Tonight the
