FAMOUS SINGLE PEARLS
h Shah OF Persia Has Ono Delicate Gem
Worth Over Half Million.

xAs Shah Of Persia Has Ono Delicate Gem
Worth Over Half . Million.
Il is not generally appreciated that
there are enormous fortunes in single
pearls, and that q few individuals and
great potentates have Jewels of this sort
which are literally worth kings ran.
som. In all the world there is no more
famous pearl than the Tavernier, now in
tbs possession of the shah Of Persia.
This remarkable gem came to this east
ern king by descent and is genuinely
remarkable curiosity. It derives its
name from having been sold by the trav-
eler Tavernier 900 years ago to the then
ruler of Persia. The price then was
$500, 900. It is now worth more than
$3.50, 900.
Another eastern king, the imam OF
Muscat, has In his collection a pearl
worth $165, 900, weighing 121k carats.
Through it the daylight can be seen.
Princess Yousoupoff' s finest gem is won
derfully beautiful Valued at $3.50, 900,
1t was hrst heard Of in 1890, when Geor-
gibus Of Calais sold it to Philip w 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 man.
ner which has not been told, and it has
descended in regular course to the pres
emit incumbent of ST. Peters throne.
This, 30 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 jewellers are constantly on the
lookout to procure gems of like rarity
to extend the 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 necklace Of pin pearls that is
worth $50, 600, and the dowager en-
press Of Germany one made of 80 peard
which would bring easily $4,000
The Rothschild women have, how.
ever, gems of this sort that far exceed
in value those of royalty. Baroness Gus
tave de Rothschild possesses one made
up Of five rows of pearls, the whole
chain being valued at $500, 900. Bar
oness Adolphe de Rothschild owns a
circlet that in all probability would
fetch even 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 quite as fine as those
In the Rothschild collection. The cas-
ket Of this royal lady Is the most IA
nous In the world from gem point Of
view. Hardly second to it rs that Of
the empress Of Austria, whose black
pearls are noted throughout Europe for
their extreme beauty and ra-ity.
What has become Of the white pearls
Of the Empress Eugene, sold at the
close Of the Franco PrIssian war, has
never been made known. The value of
these was some $50, 900, and they were
gathered together in very beautiful
necklace that frequently graced the
neck of that unfortunate queen. New
York World.

TO ENLARGE THE NAVY.

House Committee Favors the Building
of New BattIeshps.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2O.-A consider
able increase in the number of battle
ships for the navy is likely if the views
prevail of the SUBJ committee of the
house naval affairs committee having
in charge the preparation of the naval
appropriation bill. The subcommittee
was in session for several hours during
the day and the discussion disclosed. a
majority in favor Of making provision
for at least four, and probably six, bat
tleships. The torpedo .boats to be
authorized will depend very largely on
the number of battleships recon-
mended. Should only four battleships
be provided for. some of the members
think 20 torpedo boats should be al.
lowed, but if an agreement is reached
that six ships are wanted, then the
number Of torpedo boats will probably
not exceed 6 to 10. Secretary Herbert
recommended provision for the en-
Istment of 1000 additional men for the
navy and favorable action was taken
by the SUBJ committee regarding it.

was fall Of q couple Of inches Of what
seemed in the dark to be the staple
winter article, but which on examine
ton under gas or electric light were of
q muddy colored sort that at once sug-
gested the Ethiopian adjective. When
melted on an extended palm they left

show that the black snow fell over a

by any means confined to the immedi-
ate: vicinity of Chicago, kilograms
received from points as far away as the
cities of Eastern Iowa told of similar
experiences. Southern Wisconsin,
Northern Illinois and Western Indiana
were alike overspread.
In Chicago the most noticeable re-
suits were seen at the down town ho-
tells and clubs, where the layatories did
a rushing business. Guests came in
with their faces as black as though
they had been shoveling coal, and they
lost no lime in getting to the first con-
yenient towels and soap.

say: The roleof quasi-suzerainty over

appears to assume, is distinct ad-
vantage to England. AS a first stage
in the suggested settlement, a joint
commission will be appointed consist
ing of an equal number of Englishmen

passed the agricultural appropriation
bill during the day. 1t carries So, 1885,
1917. The section of the revised statutes
for the purchase and distribution Of
'.srare and uncommon" seed, which
Secretary Morton declined to execute in
the current appropriation law, was re-
pealed, the appropriation for seed was
increased from $3.50, 900 to $3.50, 900 and
its execution made mandatory upon the
secretary. Mr.. Couzins of Iowa intro
duced his amendment to reduce Mr..
Morton's salary from $1,000 to $25 until
he expended the appropriation in the
current law, but the amendment was
ruled out on point of order. Several
amendments to the meat inspection act
of 1891, recommended by Secretary
Morton, which would
Have Given Him Additional Power
to enforce regulations and have
strengthened the law by the imposition
of penalties for violations, were stricken
out. Bills were passed to permit the

extend its lines into the Indian Terri
