FOLLOW A RULE.

Representative Caminetti probably does
not take his rebuff too seriously from Secre-
tary Morton of the Department of Agri-
culture. He asked the Secretary to send
out an entomologist to California to inves-
tigate a particular insect pest which is
doing much damage to the fruit crop. and
laid emphasis on his desire not to have the
inquiry conducted in Washington. The
Secretary is said to have turned brusquely
and even savagely on the Representative,
and demanded why the expense of this
should be borne by the country and not by
the fruit-gr0wers themselves. No doubt
the spirit of self-help is admirable, but
this fit of economy comes with an i'll grace
from the present administration.
There should be something like uni
formity in expense OF this character. 1t is
proposed 10 send a Congressional commits
sion to this coast to determine whether
Santa Monica or San Pedro is the better
adapted by nature TO be harbor. The
Southern Pacific Company wants Santa
Monica, but engineers have with one voice
pronounced for San Pedro. 1t seems that
this question could be better settled at
Washington where the eXuerts' reports are
than on the ground. BY the rule which re-
quires commission to be sent to examine
the coast the Department of Agriculture
might send out single entomologist to
investigate in regard to the nature and
habits Of an insect that no one at WASH
ingt0n knows anything about. But it
makes world of difference who asks.

A ROMANCE OF ROBBERY.

In a small clearinghouse in the suburb
of New York known as Williamsburg the
police lately invaded a room which was
occupied by a Frenchman and his wife,
lately arrived from Europe, and in that
room they found the largest collection of
jewelry ever secured by thief-takers. In
five trunks were found eight hundred rings,
fifty gold watches. two thousand scarf
pins. five hundred brooches four hundred
pairs of earrings, one hundred bracelets,
all set with diamonds, rubies, sapDhires,
emerads and other precious stones. The
attention Of the police was called 10 the
place by the actions of the young French
woman, who visited pawnshop after pawn
shop, asking for loan of SIS on jewel
worth $500. The question which now
puzzles them is-where did this enormous
collection Of jewels come from?
The stories told by the prisoners aIe, OF
course, not worth consideration. The
man says that the goods were entrusted to
him by a friend who lives in New
Jersey TO be sold at his discretion.
The woman states that the prop
erty belonged to her husband. whom
she had recently married. She is pretty
and partially refined. He and friend,
who called upon him and was forthwith
invited by the police TO accompany him to
the Tombs, are coarse and uneducated.
The police say that they are not profess
SIGNALS, for if they had been they would
have taken the stones out of their setting
to prevent Identification. They are more
over members of lower grade in society
than jewel-robbers generally belong to.
Then how did they become possessed of
100000 worth of gems and gold orna-
meats-for at that sum the booty has been
estimated?
The popular theory at the moment is
that the Jewels were confided to them by a
syndicate of thieves in Paris, for the pur-
pose OF selling them in New York. Why,
then, were the gems not taken out OF their
settings? Among the plumber there is a
magnificent tiara, intended to represent a
wreath of rosebuds, which is blazing
with diamonds and pearls. Such an object
would be easily identified. Few Of the
jewels show marks of wear. They look
as If they had been taken out of a jeweler' S
showcase. Yet if jeweler had been vic
timized TO such an extent he would have
been likely to make his loss known, at
least to the various police headquarters in
the great cities.
1t is matter of enormous difficulty for
the thief who steals valuable diamond to
dispose of his property To offer it for
sale at the leading jewelers. or the leading
pawnbrokers' is to court arrest and inquiry.
But in the chief cities there is generally
one house which occupies the position of a
fence. 1t will buy jewels without asking
questions, adjusting its price to the risk
and it has ways OF lis own of dsposing of
them. How it operates the curious may
learn from the story of the Eustace dia-

PENNOYER'S DISPATCH.
