Hz1 RussIa,s Family Jewels.


A lady who has been much at the
court of Russia, and who was in the
winter palace when the attempt on
the life of the Emperor Alexander was
made by blowing up the dining room,
gives most interesting information on
the family jewels There is no con-
ception of the vast wealth the Russian
royal family has in jewels and precious
metals. The crown jewels are so
countless that the present en-
press has not seen the greater
part of them. In style they are quite
barbaric, but the gems are of the very
first water and value. Crowns, tiaras
and necklaces alone would decorate
all the chief royal personages in
Europe. In the emperors and empress
apartments the toilet adjuncts are Of
gold, most of them having been made
for the luxurious Catherine III. All
the harness and carriage appointments
were also gold until the English idea
of simplicity came into vogue

THE New York discovery that the

q fake comes rather late in the day.
1t was generally understood months
before the fair closed that the stone
was humbug. and it was laughed
at as such. II few New Workers

were paying ten cents for the priv
ilege of kissing the original stone

the whole business long ago and
showed the impossibility of procur-
ing the original stone. Outside New

Fifty YEARS TOGETHER.
Last Meeting OF a Remark able
Club at Boston

Last Meeting OF remarkable
Club at Boston.
Boston, Dec. 31.-One of the most
unique and remarkable clubs of its kind
in history held its fiftieth annual session
at Young's hotel tonight. 1t is COM
posed of gentlemen. all of whom
formerly resided in Concord, n. H.,
who have met OH the night before New
Years for the past fifty years. Every
session has been complete, all of the
members being present. The club was
formed in 1S43 under the name of the
mystic Five" the agreement being
that they should meet each year with
their wives as the guest of some mem
Der of the club, and should attend the
weddings and funerals of each other.
The members of the club are J. G. A.
Hill, of Concord, n. H.; DR.. Charles A.
Tufts, of Dover, n. H.; Joseph S.
Abbott, of Washington. u. c.; DR..
William w. Hurd, of New York city,
and George A. Blanchard, of Concord,
n. Il.
All the members married, and for
many years ten plates have been set at
each annual supper, but for some years
past the death of the wife of DR.. Hurd
has left one vacant chair. The chair,
however, decorated with flowers, has
always occupied a prominent position at
the table. Each member of the club
wears peculiar ruby pin. which is the
only insignia of membership. On the
formation of the club each member
agreed to abstain from the use of liquor
and not to engage in games of chance,
and wine has never been Served at the
annual banquets. The supper tonight
rounded out the half-century record,
and, with the possibility of more vacant
chairs, it was decided to make it the
last. and those present will never meet
again as club. The supper tonight
was served in one OF the handsome par
lOrs at YOung's, and was a very elabor-
ate spread. Mr.. Blanchard was the most
OF the occasion. The record of the
Mystic Five" has no parallel, the
nearest approach to it being that of a
club of twelve Englishmen, who met
annually for nearly twenty years. until
death made the gathering impracticable.

in which, as at like institutions. they did

About 1899 she brought suit for libel
agalnst the Brooklyn Daily Eagle for

suit at the same time for the same
amount. The suits were based upon in
veStigations of her method which the
Eagle made, first in response to her own
desire to have letters of complaint and
accusations received by the paper. The
results of the investigations were pub
llshed in the Eagle from day to day for
TWO months. The legislature passed a
law restraining her institutions from
receiving public aid, and the board
or estimates in BROOKLYN took
like action before the suits were tried,
