An Indi>creet Friend of the New York
Banker who Tried to Evnde Paying Uncle
Sam $500 In Customs Duties Bracelets
Seized. but Allowed to BE Redeemed.
New YORK. March 2,-Secretary Carlisle
has directed Collector l<ilbreth to hand
over to Mr.. j. Pierpont Morgan diamond
and sapphire bracelet, appraised at $4,000,
on payment of the duties, which amount
ed to $500. 1t transpired in this transac-
ton that Mr. Morgan was the victim of
very peculiar transaction on the part of an
old friend.
A week ago Deputy Collector Wilson, in
charge of the customs bureau at the New
York postoffice, received a package in the
mail from Florence addressed to Mr.. Nor
gan. 1t is necessary for the deputy collect
or to open all packages for the purpose OF
determining the customs duty on the con
tents. 1t turned out that this package adj.
dressed to Mr.. Morgan was beautifully
bound volume of Dwight l.. MOody's ser
mons on The Higher Life
Hole In the Book.
Mr.. Wilson looked through the book,
and he discovered that square say abou:
3 by 3 inches, had been cut out of the CEN
ter, leaving a receptacle in which was the
diamond and sapphire bracelet. No in
voice accompanied the book. Mr. Wilson
carried the book and the bracelet to Col
lector kilbreth.
The collector, being convinced that Mr..
Morgan had no knowledge of this proceed
ing of his friend, sent to him and explained
to him the nature of Mr.. Wilson's discov
cry. Mr. Morgan was greatly annoyed. 1t
turned out that the book was sent by Mr..
Fabbri, at one time a we'll known New
York merchant. who is now in Florence.
The bracelet was intended as IA wedding
gift for Mr.. Morgan's daughter, who is
shortly to be married, and Mr. Fabbri had
sent this gift in the way he had, much to
Mr. Morgan's annoyance.
The Bracelet Released.
Collector kilbreth requested Mr.. Nor
gan to make statement of the case, so
that it might be forwarded to Secretary
Carlisle, with request that the bracelet
be released on payment of duty. The
bracelet had been appraised at $1,000, and
with the duty of 10 per cent on diamonds
the full duty on the bracelet would be
$500. Mr.. Morgan, in his statement to
Secretary Carlisle made it plain that he
was not responsible in any way for the
proceeding of Mr.. Fabbri This document
was forwarded to the secretary, and Col
lector kilbreth received authority from
Mr.. Carlisle to release the bracelet to Mr..
Morgan on the payment of the $500 duty.

Staggering Drunk, With Child in His
Arms and a Corpse in His Charge.
Chester, Pa, News June 18th.
A sad spectacle was observed at the
p, w. & b. railroad station in this city
yesterday afternoon. A colored man, SO
intoxicated that he could hardly stand
staggered about with a 10.days'-old
baby in his arms. Annie Strand, the
mother of the babe, lay dead at the age
Of 20 in coffin on the platform, and the
man who carried her illegitimate child
in his arms was William Miller, her step
father.
The girl had died of peritonitis and
the only mourner was waiting for
train to Newport, DEL, his home and tue
place OF intermenL The condition of the
man did not warrant the safety of the
child and Special Officer Booth placed
him and the babe in hack and took
them to the City Hall, where he was
kept until he had partly sobered up.
Then, with the assistance of Council
man White, the man and child, with the
dead mother, were sent on their way.
The mother had died in ruined
building at Ayondale and the step
father accused Eugene Williams Of
being the cause of her trouble. Under
taker Quinby had prepared the remains
for burial and his daughter had dressed
the infant and fed il from bottle TO
keep it from starving before it reached
its destination.

THE CLOSING ExERcIsEs.
At Friends School Last Friday-Large
Attendance of NfsitorA.


Attendance of Visitors.
The closing exercises for the year at
Friends School took place last Friday
in the assembly hall of the school building.
There was very large gathering of visi-
tors. The exercises began at $50 o. clock.
Previous to that hour, however, the various
class rooms were visited. They afforded
very interesting evidence Of the thorough
and high educational grade of the school.
One Of the most interesting APARTMENTS
was the art room in the charge of Prof.
Clawson ). Hammitt. To the left of the
entrance a large number of drawings and
color work, examples from the pastel,
mechanical drawing and freehand classes
were arranged along the walls and desks.
Among the pastels some very creditable
exhibits were made by Il. Sellers Smith,
Helen johnson, Mary Jones, Mervin
bloomsbury Grace Beadenkopf, II. i. A.
Jackson. In the mechanical drawing ex-
hlDlt, Class A, were some excellent pen
and ink drawings by Helen Johnson,
La Motto du Pont, Howard Garrett: and
among the juniors, A. ID. Warner Jr.. w.
II. Stats, Reginald Constable, &. Sellers
smith; and in the middle class, 4. s.
krebs, Henry A. Gawthrop, ii. +. A.
jackson.
A new branch taken up by Professor
Hammitt's classes this year was in per-
spective freehand. yy.-
Probably the most interesting feature Of
the exhibit is the freehand pastel work.
1t is valuable for the reason that repre-
sents original effort by the pupils them
selves.
Among the examples of color work here
were sketches by Grace Beadenkopf Helen
Jackson, Mary A. Jones, Mervin Blooms
burg, q. Sellers Smith, IL. Il. A. Jackson,
Henry Candy.
The programme OF the regular exercises
for Friday morning was:

They Are Charged With Placing Obstruc-
tions on the Newark ~ Delaware City
Railroad.
Charles johnson and John Miller.
two colored lads, were given hearing
before Justice Lewis Sasse, Saturday,
charged with attempting to wreck
train on the Newark s. Delaware City
railroad, near Corbit. Miller made a
confession before the magistrate to the
effect that Johnson placed an iron
switch bar on the track, saying "he
wanted to see some fun" Miller was
with him at the time and alter the OBJ.
struction had been placed on the track
the boys ran away.
johnson on tue other hand declared
that Miller opened the switch on one
occasion causing the train to run ON a
siding.
Detective William T. Jones and
Manuel Rlchenherger who paid visit
to Corbit, Friday, testified to the state
ments OF Miller accusing johnson of
the attempt at train wrecking. The
switchbar did not cause the engine to
jump the track but it was caught up by
the tender of the engine and might have
caused considerable damage if the engi.
neer had not discovered it in time.
The boys live on farms in the neigh
borhood of the accident and have been
employed in driving cows to pasture
along the road and attending them dur
ing the day. 1t was while they were
engaged in this work that they con.
cocted the scheme to wreck train and
"see some fun" as johnson put 1t. JUS
tice Sasse decided to let them try term
at the Ferris Industrial School with the
hope they will be cured of their mania
for wrecking trains,
