FAMOUS SINGLE PEARLS.

Tlle Shah of Persia Has One Delicate Gem
Worth Over Half a Million.
1t is not generally appreciated that
there are enormous fortunes in single
pearls, and hat a few individuals and
great potentates have jewels of this sort
which are literally worth a kings ran
som. In all the world there is no more
famous pearl than the Tavernier, now in
the possession of the shah of Persia.
This remarkable gem came to this east
ern king by descent and is a genuinely
remarkable curiosity. 1t derives its
name from having been sold by the trav-
eler Tavernier 900 years ago to the then
ruler of Persia The price then wa
$500, 600. 1t is now worth more than
$3.50, 600.
Another eastern king, the imam Of
Muscat, has in his collection q pearl
worth 1856. 900, weighing l21a carats.
Through it the daylight can be seen.
Princess Yousoupoff's finest gem is won
derfully beautiful. Valued at $3.50, 900,
it was first heard of in 1920, when Geor-
gibus of Calais sold it to Philip Nv of
Spain. Eighty Thousand dollars is the
figure that it is Appropriated the pope's
pearl would bring. One of Leo's prede-
cessors became possessed of it in a a
ner which has not been told, and it has
descended in regular course to the pres
emit incumbent of st. Peters throne.
This, SO far as is known, exhausts the
list Of truly celebrated pearls. There
are many remarkable pearl necklaces
whose value is extraordinary. These
necklaces are made up gradually, pearl
after pearl being added to the set, and
leading jewelers. are constantly on the
lookout to procure gems Of like rarity
to extend tho chain. On the whole, pink
pearls ARE not especially valuable, black
ones bringing far higher prices, and
pearls that are white being sought next
after them. Queen Victoria of England
has u necklace of pin pearls that is
worth $50, 900, and the dowager en-
press of Germany one made of 81 pearls
which would bring easily $125, 900.
The Rothschild women have, how
ever, gems Of this sort that far exceed
in value those of royalty. Baroness Gus
tave do Rothschild possesses one made
up of five rows of pearls, the whole
chain being valued at 5000, 900. Bar
oness Adolphe de Rothschild owns a
circlet that in all probability would
fetch ven at a forced sale $3.50, 900.
Even more brilliant, because it has
seven rows, is the necklace of the dow
ager empress Of Russia. The gems
however, are not quito as fine as those
in the Rothschild collection. The cas-
ket Of this royal lady is the most ia
mous in the world from a gem point of
view. Hardly second to it is that Of
the empress Of Austria, whose black
pearls are noted throughout Europe for
their extreme beauty and rarity.
What has become of the white pearls
of the Empress Eugenie. sold at the
close Of the Franco russian war, has
never been made known. The value of
these was some $50, 900. and they were
gathered together in a very beautiful
necklace that frequently graced the
neck Of that unfortunate queen.-New

Menetees Senatorial Convention

Mass Convention, or Menelee coun-
ty. Called to order by j. J. Byrne,
Chairman of the County Commit
tee. j. f. Osbon elected Chair
man and b. M. Lee, Temporary
Secretary. On motion the Tenn
porary organization was made per-
manent, and the Chair appointed
the following committee on reso-
lutions: T. L. Caudel, Henry
Shrout, j. G. Greer, j. b. Wells
and j. H. Williams, who reported
the following, which was unnani-
mously adopted:
Resolved, That we approve the
time and place of holding the
Democratic Senatorial Convention
for this district and that all DEM
ocrats of this county are hereby
appointed delegates to said con-
vention, and instructed to vote as
a unit on all propositions that may
come before said convention, as a
majority present may designate,
unless otherwise herein instruct
ed.
Second. That we adhere strict
ly to the time-honored principles
of Democracy as set forth by JEFF
ferson and interpreted by Jackson.
Believing that silver is the poor
mans money, and being taught by
history that when it has been left
where our fathers placed it as
primary or redeeming money, times
have been more hourishing, farmers
better paid for their products, the
laboring masses better remunerat
ed for their work, millionaire less
numerous and tramps, which is
only another name forlaboring men
outof employment, not known in
our country. Therefore we further
Resolve, That it is the will of
the Democratic party of Menefee
county, that silver be restored to
its former position as a redeeming
money Of our government, and that
both gold and silver be coined in
the United States without limit at
the former ratio of Is to l.
Third. That we appreciate the
manly courage of the Hon. J. G. S.
Blackburn in his efforts to defend
the true principles of Democracy
and the rights of the masses Of the
people against the outrageous
abuses ard wrongs of the Republi-
can party and the moneyed dig
archy Of Great Britain and Wall
street, and recommend his re-elec-
ton to the United States Senate
by the coming Legislature of Ken
lucky.
Fourth. That we have the ut
most confidence in the integrity,
courage and ability of our county
man, J. H. Williams, to represent
us in the Senate of Kentucky, and
knowing him to be a Democrat,
sound and true, on the currency
question and true to the principles
Of Democracy according to the ira
ditions Of our fathers and the
Of the worthy leaders of
our party for a century past down
to, and including, the days and
teachings of our own lamented
Beck. Therefore, we hereby in
struct our delegates to the More
head Convention to cast the vote
Of this county, for the Hon. j. II.
and use all honorable !
means to secure his nomination for
the Senate.
Fifth. That all newspapers are
requested to publish these proceed
.ngs and the convention is now adj
'ourned.

1t was found that J. s. Lewis. A. w.
Patrick and Il. ]. Blandin were the only
Tree silver men on the committee out OF
twenty-one members. The other COM
mlttees were strongly Brice organiza-
tlons. The cominitte on resolutions ap-
pointed subcommittee to draw up a
platform. on which the opposition was
gwen representation. and which was
instructed to ie-affirm the national finah
ciai plank of 1892, which Senator Brite
says the president and Secretary Carlisle
had Interpreted to mean a gold standard.

minority report, and it is thought that
the vote will be 800 for the majority re-
port and 200 for tho minority report.
At midnight the committee on creden-
tials, by q vote of 81 to 35, with three alb
sentees, unseated what is called the regu-
lar Cuyahoga county delegation and
seated the Brice delegates, who were Sc
lected by what is known as the boiling
convention at Cleveland last week.
In the contest in Butler county the
Campbell delegation was seated. and there
is considerable feeling about Brice and
Campbell carrying things high handed
and about a programme having been
arranged. 1t is evident there will be con-
tests in the convention on the reports OF
credentials and resolutions. The sub
committee on resolutions was incre ased
to seven, SO that the silver men have two
more representatives.
