From the Philadelphia Press.
T,ondon Nov. 22.-The police to-day re-
oeived from the Duchess of Marlborough
a full description of the jewels stolen
from her maid on Saturday at Paid ng-
ton station, when she was taxing u
train for oxford. These are all Wander
bilt Jewels, worth many thousands OF
dollars Some of them are heirlooms,
while Others are wedding presents. All
are highly priced by the duchess because
of association.
The notice 81 Paddington Green station
to-day had a full list of the stolen jewels
printed and distributed among the Lon
don pawnshops. 1t included one DIAMOND
brooch with eight stones, valued at teVo'
one diamond pin, 1900; one pearl ana cur
ouoise pin, valued flOO; one ruby proocn'
value $50; one diamond ring with three
stones, value 1900; one eHsrdio an" "'N
mond pin, value eco.
THE duchess attached special value to
the diamond brooch which belonged 20
her grandmother. She is understood TO
have privately offered a large reward 10
the police for the return OF the 1e"eis'
detectives from Scotland Yard are work
mo ON the cause, although Inspector
Froest to-day said he knew nothing
about 1t.
At the Paddington Green station, which
covers the railway station where the ron
berry occurred, Capt. Reed said to-hight
that his detectives were working IN con-
nection with the corps of private detec
tives of the railway company under Capt
Saunders but had no clues as yet. lie
said that the Scotland Yard men were OF
it too. and that all pawnbrokers mad re
ceived a list of the jewels, but none had
vet been offered for sale
The ROBBERY is one of the cleverest car
ried out in London recently. Many think
n was done by crooks from New York,
who have b3n following the DUCHESS Tor
a long time believing that she carried
immense wealth in her Jewel case. On
! Saturday. however, she wore the greater
part of the jewels she had with her IN
London, the others of her collection re-
naming at B!enhetm. The thieves eVl-
IDENTIFY supposed that the case which was
stolen contained the entire lot, and when
her maid gave the case into the care OF
a porter 1t is believed the thieves were
watching every move.
The porter has been suspended by tbs
railway company, but he is stupid IN
dividual and it is not thought he had any
connection with the robbery. He says he
laid the case down for a moment with
other packages and when the maid re-
turned il was gone. The jewels Will prob
ably be sold on the continent. The POI
lice are inclined to credit the robbery 10
the gang which stole $4,000 worth of dia-
monds from Piccadilly store few weeks
ago, leaving no clue.
At Spencer house it was said tonight
that the duchess for some time has feared
robbery because of the stories about her
wonderful Jewels. The duchess has re-
| ceived many letters of sympathy for her
| loss. but has informed her friends that
her most valuable jewels were not in the
| case.

FREE LICENSES FOR SOLDIERS.
Mr.. Calvin Proposes to Put Blue and
cray ON Same Basis.


From the Atlanta (Ga0 Constitution.
When Mr. Calvin's measure to allow in
digent, disabled and wounded confederate
veterans to conduct any kind of business
without a license came up in the House,
there came a renewal of the bitterness of
the years of the civil war. Mr.. Calvin sur
prised the entire House by offering an
amendment TO his bill, which provided
that northern soldiers residing now in the
south should be included among those who
are to have free license. This caused a
storm of disapproVal. The idea of Geor-
gia, southern state Offering to the yam
kee soldiers who burned houses and DESC
lated the state the same privileges that
were accorded to the soutnerners VINO
fought and bied in defense of the south,
was terrible in the enormity of its offense
against the southern feeling in the breasts
of the members.
Mr., Calvin spoke for his amendment.
and said he offered the amendment as a
confederate veteran who had followed the
southern cross from 1861 to November, 1864,
when he was shot out of the service in
the battle of Franklin, Tenn. The sugges-
ton might prove a surprise, but he was
confident it was on the right line. When it
is recalled that a confederate monument
had been erected in the city of Chicago;
caring for the grass-grown graves of con-
federate dead near old Camp Chase rs re-
called; when the magnanimous conduct of
Cen Grant toward Gen. Lee at Apo
mattox is remembered, it would seem that
Georgia should inaugurate the proposed
departure. 1t would reflect credit on her
and be but another noble fundamentally
for extinguishing partisan feeling which is
an outcome of the civil war.
He believed the gentleman from Barlow
(Mr Durham), who left his good right
arm on the field at Fredericksburg, a
gallant confederate veteran, would vote
for this amendments (Mr. Durham nodded
approval)
He believed that the gentleman from
Chattooga (Mr. RudiciD, another brave
confederate veteran, who rode with For
rest, would support this amendment.
| CDR. Rudicil nodded approval) He believ-
| ed that Col. Dick Wilson, assistant door
| keeper, who rose from captain to colonel
| by reason of his galantry, and who left
| an arm on the field of Gettysburg, would
! vote for the amendment if he were a
| member of the House.
He believed that the doorkeeper (Mr.
| Milliford), who lost a leg at Malvern Hill,
| and the assistant doorkeeper (Mose Mar
TIM, who lost a leg at Bentonville, each
! of them brave confederate veterans, would
| vote for the amendment if they were
members of the House. each nodded APP
| proval)
MIR. Calvin made an earnest appeal in
| behalf of the amendment under considera-
| ton. He appealed also to the sons of con-
| federate veterans to support the amend
ment 1t would rebound to Georgia 8

A Meeting of Citizens Held to Con.
slider Its Provisions.

Fitzgerald, Ga, Nov 25.-Several hum
dred men met at the Grand Army of the
Republic hall this afternoon at O'Clock
to hear portions of the new charter read.
The one in force at present has proven
unsatisfactory in many respects, and 1t is
believed that a majority of the citizens
desire its repeal. A number of sections
were read and discussed, but it was found
necessary to adjourn the meeting until to-
morrow morning.
Nearly all the proposed changes in the
charter were heartily applauded by those
present, and IL is believed that the new
document VIII be found more satisfactory.
The new charter provides for the cleo
ton of an entirely new set of city Off
Gals with radical changes in their sal
aries. Also for the issuance of city script
for the a2yment of debts, as well as for
schools. which shall be separate from The

maintenance is concerned, and the board
of education is given power to levy a tax
to. a certain amount. The colony com
pany officials will go to Atlanta with the

GEN. CLAY's EXPERIMENT.
Trying to Make a Polished Wife Out
of kentucky Peasant"
From the New York Tribune.


Richmond KY, Nov. 1S.-For several
days it has been rumored that Dora Rich
ardson Clay, the young wife of Gen. Cas-
sius Marcellus Clay, had left his home.
A visit to Whitehall postofice tonight re-
veals the fact that she did leave Gen.
Clays house about ten days ago, telling
the general that she wished to go on
a short visit to the home of her brother,
Clell Richardson, at Valley View. She is
devoted to Clell, and lived with him whit,
he was overseer on Gen. Clay's farm be-
fore her marriage. The general kept I.le1l

The general has been an indulgent hus-

hired Instructors to teach her to play it,
and employed private tutors to educate
her in the English branches. 1t has been

Little Lawrence Dennis, of Atlanta,
knows the Bible Thoroughly.
From the Baltimore Sun

From the Baltimore Sun.
Atlanta, Ga, Nov. M.-Preaching in
little meeting house on Auburn avenue,
Atlanta, to-day, was Lawrence Dennis,
3 years old, who, for some weeks, has
been exhorting sinners to repentance.
Standing at the rear end of the hall he
raises his voice and speaks like a preacher
of mature years. He is not over-large for
his age. Lawrence has large back eyes
that rove continually from one end of the
room to the other while he is talking. On
the whole he appears to the casual OBJ
server to be only an ordinary boy, except
for his head and voice. His brow pro-
trudes like that of a mature man, and his
voice is strong and of great volume.
He can neither read nor write, being still
too young to attend school, but this does
not deter him from knowing the Bible So
thoroughly does he know that book that
he can repeat many passages from 1t and
can answer almost all questions pertaining
to it. This knowledge he obtained by hav-
ing his parents read to him. 1t is evident
that he has a wonderful memory, for after
having heard a passage of Scripture once
or twice he never forgets it.
In his section of the city he is regarded
as n wonder, and people flock to hear him.
That he produces a deep impression on his
hearers is evident from the many CONVEX
SONS he has made
Lawrence does not like to play the rough
games which are the favorites Of the other
bows in his neishborhood He would rather
stav at home and PONDER over the words
Of wisdom and advice that have been read
TO him from The book which furnishes the
food for almost all his thought. Neither
does he like girls, the reason being that he
regards all girls as wicked. He says he is
not favorte with the sex because he
tells them Of their sins, and they, there
fore, having nothing to do with him.

The famous law which was intended to
prohibit the wearing of feathers or bodies
OF Dlrds Tor ornamental purposes in Mass
achusetts has been interpreted by
Attorney General Knowlton in such a
way that there is practically no prohibi
ton at all. In an exhaustive paper he
has given the opinion that the bird law
does not prohibit the bringing of birds
Into the state. 1t was stated at the time
of the passage of the act that the
measure was an honest and earnest At
tempt to stop the killing of birds for
ornamental purposes and to discourage
the wearing of feathers in women's bon
nets. As Mr.. KnOwlton's opinion prac-
tically removes such restriction, those
who have been earnest in fighting for
the cause of the birds believe that the
legislators of the state will not let the
matter rest at its present status. A new
crusade will probably be started next
winter.
On August l6, Justice Stephen John

whose appointment by President Adams

served until his death on July 6. 1885.
Justice Field was appointed by President
Lincoln on May 3, 1868, but he was not
sworn in until May 20, and for record
purposes the lapse of time seems to be
computed from that date. Justice Field
was eighty years old last November, yet
there is no reason to believe that he con-
siders his strength as yet unequal to his
day. His reverend father lived to be
his elder brother, David
Dudley, lived to see his nnetieth year;
his brother Cyrus sunk under a weight
of misfortune at seyenty-three, and his
brother Henry is still, at seventy-fve,
