Curiosities in Pearls.

The value of pearls has been in ali
ages commensurate with their beauty.
In the east especially they have been
greatly admired and enormous sums OF
money have been paid for them. Pliny
observes that pears are the most yalu-
able and excellent of all precious stones
and from our SayiOf'S comparing the
kingdom of heaven to a pearl it IS eyi-
dent they must have been held in very
high estimation at that time. 1t is said
that Julius Caesar gave pearl to the
mother of Marcus Brutus that was
valued at 94S, Al los of our present
money, and Cleopatra dissolved one
worth t250, 600 in vinegar, which she
drank at the supper with Marc Antony.
From time immemorial there have
been fisheries Of pearl in the Persian
gulf, the Red sea and in the bays of
CeylOn, and when Columbus arrived in
the Gulf Of Paria on his first voyage to
America he was aStOnished to find the
precious gems abounding there in un-
paralleled quantities His men landed
and saw the Indian women adorned
with splendid pearls round their arms as
wei as round their necks. but their pos
SCISSORS seem to have been perfectly ig-
nOrant of the true value of the gems as
it is II corded that an Indian woman
gave one of the sailors four rows of her
pearls merely in exchange for broken
earthenware plate.
The Spanish king forbade any one to
60 within fifty leagues of the place
where such riches were found without
the royal permission and took posses
sion of the fisheries for himself, but so
cruelty did the Spaniards behave to the
natives, making them perforce dive for
them and brutally ill-treating them
when they were unsuccessful in pearl
finding, that "one morning at dawn the
Indians aSsailed the Spaniards, made a
sanguinary slaughter of them and with
dancing and leaping ate them, both
monks and laymen."-Ihe Gent!eman's

Boise, Ida, March 29.-Frank W.
Beane, special agent of the treasury
department, is at work upon a case OF
wholesale forgery in connection with
Chinese registration here.
He is assisted by Special Agent
Johnston, Of Spokane.
Some time ago Mr.. Beane discovered
that the names of a number Of Boise
business men had been forged to reg
istration papers. He began to probe
the matter. and found evidence of
large-sized forgery mill having been at
work. After satisfying himself that
operations were being conducted on
large scale to defraud the government,
he called in Mr.. Johnston to assist him.
Their work was not yet quite completed
when word was received from Port
Townsend today that five Chinese had
been held up there while attempting to
land on certificates showing them to
be Boise merchants. Investigation
shows that no such Cinnamon have
ever been in business here. 1t is ex-
pected that some highly sensational
developments will occur, 1t appearing
that Boise is the headquarters of
branch conspiracy for the importation
of Chinese on forged papers.

DOUGLASS, WILL.

Washington, D. c., March 2s-The
will of the late Frederick Douglass
was found today. 1t is dated August
80, 1886, and gives the widow the house
and fifteen acres OF land in Anacostd.
D. c.; also $1,000 in United States bonds
and $4,000 in money to be derived
from other property; a daughter, Ro-
setta D. Sprague, and three sons, Louis
", Frederick and Charles, receive an
equal share, amounting to about $1,000
each. The will was witnessed by only
two persons. The law, it is said. re-.
quires three witnesses TO pass real es-
tate and the will, therefore, is declared
invalid as far as the transfer of real
estate is concerned. As to the per-
sonal property, however, it is said it
will be valid.
The petition for probating the will
sets forth that the deceased died po-
sessed of about $4,000 in personal
property. Today was set apart for
hearing by the probate court in a pc
tition by the daughter. Rosetta D.
Sprague, for the appointment of a col
lector of the estate, in order to prevent
a dissipation and waste of the prop
erty.
A hearing on the application for pro-
bate will be had next Friday.

Denver, Colo, March 29.-Some time
ago, as published, the attempts made
by the Chinese at Rock Springs, Wyo.,
TO defraud the government by fraud
ulent photographs, were exposed to
some extent in the Denver papers.
BY taking the pictures Of the Chin
csc with their hats on and then cut
ting off the hat and changing the head
and forehead somewhat a system of
fraud was unearthed by Internal Rev
enue Collector New, of Denver. This
was reported to the department at the
time to take such action as might be
deemed proper. Since that time there
has been no specially new develop
nents as TO frauds in this line in
this part of the country.
Internal Revenue Collector New is
still in washington and Chief Deputy
Kram said he was not aware Of the
developments as were reported in
San Francisco dispatches. Mr.. Wal
ker. of the secret service and Mr.. Val
entine of the custom house were nei-
Their aware of the counterfeiters report
ed as existing at Denver, as reported
In this despatch. But the Rock Springs
discovery made by Denver officials
and the frauds then unearthed are SUP
posed TO have been a. part of this 81
gantic system of fraud as has been
reported from the Pacific coast.

Chicago. March 29.-Charles Booth,

known railroad men in the United States,
died today of lung fever.
Chicago, March 29.-Charles T. Yerkes,
the street railway magnate is the prinei-
pal defendant in suit which will be
filed in the circuit court tomorrow by the
West and South Town Railroad Com
pany, with damages alleged to be $780,
900. Among the other defendants are the
West Chicago Street Railroad Company;
John X Parsons, general manager of the
same system, and the American Surety
Company, of New York.
Vallejo, Cal. March 29.-Orders have
been received at the Mare Island Navy
yard directing the new cruiser Olympia
to sail on Tuesday next for Santa Bar
bara channel for drill. On April 18th, and
the two days following she is to be at the
port of Santa Barbara She will then pro-
coed 30 San Diego for three days, and will
then return to the navy yard here. 1t
may, however, be decided to dispatch her
from San Diego to Nicaragua or Peru.
San Francisco, March 29.-The United
States coast defense vessel Monterey ar
rived here this afternoon from Mare ISL
and. She is taking on coal and within
two days will proceed TO Callao, Peru, but
she will stop en- route at some Nicarag1l-
an port. The Alert is now at Callao, and
the Ranger Is somewhere between Peru
and Nicaragua. 1t is evidently the inten-
ton of the Washington authorities al
ways to concentrate respectable naval
force on Nicaragua's Pacific coast. The
navy department is certainly DESTROYS of
getting the Monterey to sea as quickly as
possible, for the forces at Mare Island
have been working day and night to get
her away.

Washington, March 29.-It is impossible
to secure confirmation here of the report
from London that the United States has
consented to enter the proposed interna-
tional conference, but the best informa-
ton obtainable is to the effect that in
case the call is issued the president will,
by authority of the law enacted during
the last session, appoint the three dele
gates necessary TO complete the commits
sion on behalf of this country. Many of
his best friends express the opinion that
he Will not forego any opportunity that
promises substantial progress to promote
an international agreement on this ques-
ton, but add that he will, in all probable
1ty, prefer to see the terms of the call be-
fore taking action.
Senator Daniel, one of the delegates ap-
pointed on behalf of the Senate, was in
the city today, and expressed himself as
pleased to hear the report that England
was favorably considering the question of
representation at the conference, and said
he had been fearful that that country
would take a position which would rem
der the. conference, If held, incapable of
accomplishing results. He said also that
while he had no information with which
the public was not in possession, he was
of the opinion that the conference would
be called and that the United States
would be represented.

THE CUNARD DIVIDEND.

Liverpool, March 29.-At the anual meet
ing of the Cunard Steamship company

Atlantic lines during the past year showed
q reduction of 100000 pounds as com
pared with 1893. Nevertheless the COM
Dany held it's own and the policy of build

Chicago Deserves the Belt For
Tough Girls.
Chicago. March 29.-The girls in the
Home for Juvenile Offenders who Gre
ated so much trouble last night by
smashing all the dishes and windows
in the place, INDUCED in another riot
tonight. They had gone to their
rooms for the night, when, at a given
signal. they began to scream so they
could be heard for fully block. This
proving rather tame sport, they began
to tear down the frame partitions be-
tween the sleeping rooms.
AS soon as a number of girls were
congregated in one room they would
make an assault upon the room, batter
ing in the doors and smashing the fur
niture. The matron and her assistant
were utterly unable to control the
girls, and finally a call was sent for
the police. The patrol wagons. filed
with officers. hurried to the home, and
after a hard struggle, during which
some of the girls fought like wild In
dams, they were all locked up in their
rooms, the partitions of which are
proof against any. attempts they can
make to tear down. There was no
especial cause for the outbreak to-
night.

The Situation.

Washington, March 29.-The United
States has not yet given any assurance,
other than that contained in the passage
OF the Wolcott resolution by Congress, of
its readiness TO participate in another
monetary conference, the chief reasons
perhaps being that as yet it has not been
been considerable discussion at the atti-
tude of the. administration in the matter
OF the conference and assertions have
all anxious to have one held. This there
is good authority for saying, is not the
policy of the administration. On the con-
trary, there is declared to be a desire to
pect of obtaining result. 1t is probable
that some expression of fear that there
was not at present much prospect of
anything being done by q conference has
been construed that the administration
was not in favor of such a gathering.
