The best-known pearl necklace in London
is that Of the Countess Tolstoi. The stones
are not only large and perfect in shape, but
nearly black in color, a popularity which,
though some will think it does not add to
beauty, is, by Of its rarity, exceptionally
valuable. The Baroness Henry de Worms,
wife of the Under-Secretary for the Colonies,
also has a notable necklace-of diamonds.

and was present to her from her first hus-

The necklace is in three rows, and con-

THE SLAUGHTER OF OUR GAME.
European Thrift Contrasted With Our
WastefuI Recklessness.

European WIN our
WastefuI Recklessness.
Philadelphia Times.
North America is the only country Of the
world where large game has been entirely
exterminated on large area OF woodlands
In the Ardennes between France and thickly
settled Belgium, there are still deer, wild
hogs and wolves. Large packs Of wolves
still roam the forests of Transylv anis north
eastern Austlia), of Russia and northern
Turkey, of Spain, Portugal and the French
Pyrenees. Bears and lynxes still abound in
Sweden and Norway, as well as in Russia and
the upper Alps; the forests Of southern
Germany harbor wild cats and black-c ocks-
the European congeners Of the American
turkey-besides grouse, fallow deer and
badgers.
Hardly single specimen Of the animals
and birds named now survive in the 100000
square miles constituting the States of Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, Massachusetts, Maryland,
New Jersey, and Eastern Kansas-all coun-
tries where only hundred years ago game
was so abundant that the rural storekeepers
geners lily refused to exchange dry goods for
Vension. A correspondent Of the Louisville
COurier-Jotrndl estimates that in the exter-
mination of the once countless swarms Of
wild pigeons alone some five thousand tons
of gunpowder must have been blaZed away in
the course OF the last fifty years.

Proposed Tests of Culture.

PnIIH. IlIntB.
The chemist Liebig proposed to measure the
standard of civilization by the consumption of
soap-a criterion which would put the inhabi-
tants of North Holland at the head of all civ
ilized nations. AS a more reliable test Ed
mund About suggested the sale Of steel pens;
the Socialist Bebel, the frequency OF reform
meetings; DIR. Bernard, the use of undergar-
ments Ia luxury unknown to the semi-ciVilized
tribes of Asia and South America); Professor
Ebers, the sale Of postage stamps. The mile
age of railroads per hundred square miles of
territory might do in comparing countries of
equal density of population, but otherwise
would put Belgium too unfairly ahead of Cal
ifornis, and even of New England.

SALINAS, CAL, Nov. 8.-Deputy Sheriff
Matthews discovered the four Frowney
brothers today hiding in railroad cul-
vert. He arrested them and lodged
them in the county Jail here. The boys
made no resistance. The eldest is only
20 years old. Their story of yesterdays
affray in which their mother was shot
and killed by Officer Mccarthy, is very
different from that of the officer. They
say that when Mccarthy came up to
them he did not tell them his mission,
at all, but seized shotgun belonging to
them. Their mother protested
and was parleying with the
officer when the Portuguese who ac-
companied Mccarthy struck her
over the back with a picket. She then
picked up an axe and attempted to drive
them away. The officer then showed
her warrant for their arrest. In the
meantime the small boys called to the
older brothers who were in the bills
hunting. They came running down the
hill. When the officer saw them COM
ing, he drew his revolver and shot
twice at the mother. The first shot
missed, the second pierced her heart
and she fell dead. The officer then
turned on them and fired, and
they returned his fire. One fred
once with revolver, the other once
with single-fire shotgun. The officer
then jumped into his cart and drove
rapidly away. The boys then placed
the dead body of their mother in
wagon and harnessed the horse, with
the intention of coming to Salinas, but
changed their minds and took to the
hills. An inquest was held on the
woman today, and the coroner's jury
brought in a verdict that the deceased
came to her death by a gunshot wound
fred by Officer Mccarthy III the dis
charge OF his duty, and exonerated him.

WILL HOY SQUEAL /?
A SENSATION PROBABLE IT HE
CONFESSES.
The Bogus Mortgage Maker 1t Is Said
Will Today Tell Who His Accomplices
Were-Some Men of Standing Said to
be Implicated.

A HERALD reporter was informed last
night that John @. Hoy, who was con-
victed OF forging the name of Morris NJ.
Green to mortgage and promissory
note, has stated his willingness to con-
Tess to the district attorney, and that
his statement will be made today.
Hoy is about "a years old and the
chances are that he will get long sem
tence for the crime of which he was con-
victed. Ever since his arrest early in
September he has refused to say any
thing about the case, and when placed
on the witness stand on the last day OF
his trial the prisoner did not testify to
facts not brought out in the evidence Of
other witnesses.
The district attorney and others who
have followed this case from the be-
ginning are OF the opinion that there
are number of parties who aided the
scheme to mortgage Green's land and
defraud 0. A. Stassforth out of $4,000 on
the bogus security. .M
A man named Ed L. Baker was ar
rested and charged with completely in
the crime a few days after Hoy was
taken into custody, and was soon re-
leased, his friends coming up promptly
with the security required for his APP
pearance when wanted.
Hoy was allowed to remain in Jail,
although it appeared in evidence during
his trial that Baker had as much to do
with the attempt to secure the
loan as the convicted man. Sew
eral attorneys who took deep
interest in the trial expressed the opin-
ion that the case was really being tried
for Baker, and that the scheme was to
secure the latter's aceuittal.
Bakers trial is set for today, but it is
question with many who are familiar
with the case whether he will be seen
in department six when the time for
his trial arrives.
1t is said that should Hoy choose to
"squeal," and there is every reason to
suppose he will do. SO, he will implicate
a number of persons Of good standing
in business circles.

Seven Murders and Ten Attempts at
Suicide in One Week.
SAN Francisco, Nov. 8.-The receiving
hospital is crowded with victims of yes
terday's shootings. Charles Vest, who
shot his wife and self yesterday, is ap.
parently recovering. He now claims to
be ignorant of the crime and seems to be
trying to create the impression of in
sanity. Mrs. Vest still lives, but the
chances are against her recovery.
Corwell, who was shot by Chinese,
is still unconscious. The surgeons say
it will be almost a miracle if he RECEIVERS.
1t now appears that the Chinese who
did the shooting, speaks English we'll
and is not a recent arrival. Officer Gill
len, his other victim, will be buried
Tuesday.
The week closing Saturday was the
bloodiest here for long time. In all
there were ten attempts at suicide, three
of which were fatal, and five persons
murdered, one being horrible butch
cry. Should Mrs. Vest and Corwell die,
as is probable, the number will be in
creased to seven.
