New York, Jan. 19.-The arrival OF
Sculptor Frederick MacMonnies in this
country In the next few days will mark
a distinct era in the history OF Ameri-
can sculpture. In the few years he

his work his given TO American art a
distinct place of honor In the estima-
ton Of the savants of Europe. His fell
low artists and admirers on this side

A nervous SILVER passed through the
frames of the men and women of New
York's smart set when they heard of
the recent robbery, by which one of
their number Mrs. |. Townsend Bur-
den, lost $4,000 worth Of diamonds,
from her own home. Apropos of this
theft, 1t Is a matter of interest to
know how these fashionable women
guard the treasures, which they love to
display nightly, during the winter.
One genius, statistically inclined,
made an estimate not long ago that at
the opera on Calve night there were
more than 100000 worth of diamonds
and other jewels in the opera house.
This seems terrific sum, and at first
glance may appear to be an awful ex
aggeration, but it was probably not
very far wrong. Some idea of the
riches which the fashionable woman of
today ties up in jewels can be gathered
from the fact that Mrs. w. x. Wander.
bilt, at the marriage Of her daughter,
Consuelo, to the young duke of MARI
borough, gave the bride a necklace of
pearls which cost more than a million
dollars. Some estimates placed it's
value at million and a half This
necklace was over three yards long,
and 1t took Mrs. Vanderbilt many
years to accumulate the pearls com.
posing It, Some Of the pearls cost
$4,000 apiece, while the very small
ones cost not more than 500. When
strung around her neck 1t almost COW
ared the bodice from just below the
neck to the waist line. 1t was probably
the finest ornament in the country,
but 1t must have occasioned its owner
a world of trouble caring for it.
Mrs. Burden, the victim of the rob-
berry, was never conspicuous for the
quantity or the richness of her jewels,

CARL JONAS CALLED.
HIS DEATH IN PRAGUE is RE-
PORTED

Racine, Wis, Jan ia cablegram
from Prague announces the death of
Carl Jonas, United States consul. Mr..
Jonas was a man of solid acquire
ments and literary ability. He was
born in Bohemia Oct &c. 1910, and
while student at the university of
Prague, became SO pronounced in his
democratic opinions that he left for
London in 1860, to avoid persecution
by the Austrian government. In
1868, he was called to Racine, where
he became editor of The Slavic, the
Oldest Bohemian paper in the country.
Being in Europe during the war of
1870, he procured permission to re-
main at German headquarters, and
witnessed the siege and capture of
Paris. Soon afterwards he wrote a
number of books which had a large
circulation in Europe and America.
He was member of the assembly in
1878 and of the senate in 1889. In

A REAL MARIE LOUISE GOWN.

The Empress Marie Louise's bridal
dress, in which she was married in
1904 to Napoleon l., is at present for
sale in Rome. There is no waist"
to this historical robe, which is decor
ated with embroidered silk flowers,
and is considered a masterpiece OF
embroidery. Marie Louise gave this
dress to court lady in Parma, who,
after she was restored to health after
serious illness. gave it to church.
where it was used on solemn occasions
on the altar Several times large sums
were offered for this valuable piece of
work. and in 1883 it was sold to an
Italian Countess, who now wishes to
sell it again. The Austrian Museum
for Art and Industries has asked to be
allowed TO exhibit it at an exhibition
in Vienna next year, and the Countess
has given permission, provided 1t is
not sold before that time.

1885, President Clevelant named him
as consul to Prague, and after the
Austrian government had INDUCED in
a little grumbling, he was formally
accepted and made capable official.
He was twice elected lieutenant gov
ernor on the Peck ticket, and two
years ago he was appointed consul
general at st. Petersburg, but, not
liking the post, got Consul Kalel at
Prague to trade places with him. He
had been democrat since 1872, and
had performed good service on the
stump, besides writing many political
articles. He presided over the joint
legislative session when w. f. Villas
was formally elected United States
senator.

West She is reputed to have the finest
collection of unique jewels in the

pleasure to exhibit them to her friends.
But of late years she has feared they
might attract thieves, so she keeps
them in the vaults of safe deposit

thief got into her house, and since then
she has made a veritabe fortress of

Washington, y. c., Jan. 49, Cardinal
Satolli has not rendered the services
OF Pope Leo as arbitrator in the Ven-

doubling the genuineness of the gems
worn by the wife or daughter of some
famous millionaire, but woman Of
moderate wealth could never afford to
run the risk of being detected in the
imposition. OF course, on very partic-
ular occasions, like ball in her own
home, the real jewels are taken out Of
the safe deposit vault and worn that
night, but the next day they are re-
turned to the place of safe keeping.
But, for the ordinary round of gayeties,
the bogus jewels do very WELL and no
one is much the wiser for the decep-

For these reasons the care of the
jewels do not burden the mind so
much as other articles of value in the
house. For instance, Mrs. William

of her famous dinners. But 1t is al

Boston. July 14.-John L. Sullivan, while
forever out of The ring, stiIl keeps
close watch on the events in his former
realul, ana in a discussion OF coming events
hc said:
'.Maher will win his fight with Choynski,

boxer in the world, and, while Choynski
may stand the garf for awhile, in the end
IL will be impossible for him To continue.

ana even when thinking OF his recent de-
feat by Fitzsimmons, / still regard him as
a better man than FitZsinmnns. Some day
they will come together again, and If they
do I'm quite willing to pick Peter for the
winner. He is one or the neatest, II not
the greatest, boxer in the world

opinion that If Sharkey and Corbett ever
Come together again Corbett will win
the fight in walk. From hasty
glance at the articles which were put
