thereof, with view to permanent settle

In response the Secretary called atten-
ton TO the provisions of Section OF tho
act approved February 20, 1885, which
provides that 1t shall be unlaw-
iul ior any person, company, part

Strange Rnhherv Of Isus,.

Inc Bucharest correspondent Of the Ex
change Telegraph company relates an extraor
dinary coincidence with regard to a theft Of
Jewelry. A certain Jinka was staying at the
Hotel Boulevard, Paris It seems that he
was only there with the object of robbery.
Seeing the door Of an apartment open. and
no person therein, he entered and seized a
travelling bag which contained valuable
jeWelry.
The police were soon on the alert, but could
not find trace Of the thief He had sped to
Roumania, and, being anxious to convert his
spoil into cash, applied to a changer The
latter submitted to the principal jeweler at
Bucharest a parure, and asked if he could
give 1900 francs for it. "Without hesita-
tion, said the jeweler, ''for would willingly
give 5000 francs. Those jewels came out Of
my store.n
The changer went away satisfied Shortly
afterward the jeweler saw the lady who had
purchased the jewels walking in the street
and accosted her, reproaching her for not
having first offered the jewels to him, as he
would have given her better price than the
changer. my jewels are at Bucharestp she
exclaimed, and then recounted the history OF
the robbery at the hotel Boulevard Paris,
while she was staying there.
The prefect Of police was communicated
with, and the Jinka promptly arrested. The
question now, adds the correspondent, takes
legal turn. As the robbery was committed
in France, can the thief be punished In Rou-
Globe.
