Million IN JEWELS
HISS VIRGINIA EARLE THE ONLY
WOMAN WHO EVER WORE
THEM.
TOOK FOUR HOURS TO DON.
THEIR EFFECT SOMETHING THAT
CAN HARDLY BE COMPRE-
HENDED.
FEED NEW YORK FOR A WEEK.
More Than 25,OOO,OOO Loaves of
Bread Could Be Purchased for
the Jewels.

The only woman in the world who
ever wore a million dollars worth of
jewels at one time was photographed
with them all on a week ago last
Thursday by a Sunday World photog-
rapher. 1t took four hours to dress her
in the precious stones, says Mrs. Nc
Guirck, in the New York World.
A million dollars worth of jewels is
almost impossible to imagine. One and
only one woman in New York has ever
worn that amount. Under the pho
tographer's flashlights she was an ov-
empowering vision of light From every
big tempting solitaire, from pure white
diamonds, from priceless emeralds,
from rubies, costliest Of all gems, mil
lions Of stars seemed to be shining
Spears of prismatic lights darted and
blazed from head, throat, corsage,
arms and hands until all sense of form
and design was fairly blazed out of
existence to the dazed onlookers.
To the naked eye the thousands of
precious stones, the cstly bits of work.
manship, mans cunning craft, the
treasures wrung from earth for wo-
mans adornment resolved into one
luminous mass Of shimmering light,
from which darted billions of NINA
ture lightning CLEANS.
The woman herself could iust be
seen triumphant as behind a veil of
fire. She might have been queen of
Golconda or countess Of Monte Cristo.
A MILLION IN JEWELS.
When $1,0O0,000 worth Of jewels was
suggested to jewellers and wholesale
dealers downtown they looked in
amazement. Such stocks they assert
ed were not carried. One after an
othr they averred it would be impos-
sible to get that amount of Jewels on
any but giantess without producing
burlesque in diamonds. 1t was two
months ago that the manager of a
large jewelry house finally agreed to
get Jewels to the desired amount to-
gether that could be put on a woman
without making her hideous.
AT this time of the year small stocks
are carried. Very few large made-up
pieces are kept. Moreover, the owners
of large collections Of jewels who
might be called upon to assist deposit
their jewels in the safety vaults before
starting away. All this increased the
difficulties Of the task.
1t was not until ten days ago that
word was received that any night the
Jewels would be ready on q few hours
notice

THE BROWN CHURCH SCANDAL.
Miss Overrnan Makes Confession Re-
Opening the Whole Case.

San Francisco, Aug. 19.-Mattie
Overmaa, who fgured so conspicuous
" and unenviably in the Brown church
scandal, has made confession In
which she declares that she is perjur-
or ana that DR.. Brown is all his enc
mics represented him to be.
Tkis startling admission Of Miss
OvsrInan, made after moTtths OF sal
snce and after DR.. Brown has taken up
q new home in a new field, has reopen
ed the entire ease. The woman's con-
fession has been fully considered by
the ministers and layTnen that form
the trial court. Mr.. Tunnel has gone
before the members eff the Eceleeiasti-
cal court and has eorFoborated all that
Miss Overman confessed.
The members of the council could lis
tea to the startling story bat as a
council they could do nothing. Miss
Gverman's confession was placed in she
custody of the secretary OF the Bay
conference. a resolution asking the
Bav conference to take action in the
nsatter was adopted by unanimous
vote. The conference will therefore
meet without delay iR special session.
The Rev DIR. G. 0. Brown will be noH-
fed Of the new turn in his affairs and
will be ordered to appear in person ss
by representative to show cause why
the Judgment OF suspension for an in
definite period from the ministry shall

Hon Ferdinand Winter, OF Indian

TO cast his vote for Bryan and Sewall
in the coming election.
There is something said he the

people are taking in the matter until
| stepped into bookstore several days
ago and asked for something on the
silver question. | was told that it was
almost impossible TO supply the de-
mand for literature OF this kind. In
my opinion the present campaign will
be unique in the obliteration of party
lines. The agitation OF the money
question has made people think as
they have never thought before in any
political campaign. The trouble with
the present administratio is that it
has been too closely identified with the
financial interests OF New York. The
people of that section do not seem to
realize that q great movement can
possibly emanate either from tho Wsst

BICYCLES AND FREE SILVER.

OF all the cheap humbugs of the
present bugaboo campaign, the cheap
est is the claim that the Indianapolis
bicycle company has shut down on ao-
count of free coinage agitation. That
company shut down about this time
last year, and did not open for several
months. The simple truth is that the
market is stocked with it's goods for
thfs season. 1t has about half a mil
lior dollars out in goods and credits
for sales, and it cannot conveniently

TERRIFIC BOILER EXPLOSION.
Four Men Killed and Five Badly Injured
Near Troy.

Troy, n. =, Aug. 1s.--(Special.) --
Monday morning at $40 O'clock, at
the saw mill OF Mr.. q. ".
Taft, about one and three-fourths
miles south of Troy, while everything
seemed to be runafng all right, the
pHmp was set in motion TO supply WA
ter when a most terrific explosion oc-
surred. throwing the front of the boil
er 300 feet or more, while the other
part was thrown in AN opposite dires-
ton 100 feet or more, wrecking shell
tiers in a mass of ruins, throwing the
tram trucks, weighing 1000 pounds
OF more, so feet up hill.
Four men, Henry eagle, VIM Rich
ar6soz and Andrew T. Mcneil, whit.
men. formerly from Moore county,
and negro, Sam Ewing, were killed,
and five badly injured 10 wit: Ben.
r. Isley, sawyer; Swaine Warner, also
from Moore county; VIM. Cults,
Charles Morris, and John Giles, color
ed. Mr.. Isley was thrown 30 feet or
more. The wounded men are sealded
and bruised badly, and several may
die. Tho3e killed seemed to be- group
ed together drinking water at the tihna
of tlle explosion and were badly man
gfed. Richardson's arm and part of
his shoulder were torn off the body.
The body was 100 feet from the mill,
and the arm 60 foet' away from the
body.
Mr.. Taft's son. floyd, was in the
mill house loft only few minutes be-
fore, and was called to another point
by his brother just time enough TO
escape.
Mr.. Taft came from the State of
Rhode Island eight years ago to Moore
county and engaged in the lumber
business in this county early this
year. and has been quite unfortunate
in the last few years, having lost by
bank failures, fire and blowing up
some $4,000 All are in sympathy with
him and the families of the victims Of
this unfortunate blow-up.
