The Green Vaults.
In the famed Green Vaults of Dresden
lies the immense uncut Peruvian emerald
given to the Elector OF SaXOny by the
Emperor Rudolph II. and in the treasury
of Vienna is a stone reported to be worth
eco and of great size, but so many OF

Indian Jewels.
England is far behind Russia and Tur-
key in her jewel treasures. but the Duke
of DevOnshire's emerald crystal is special
~ nnei perhaps the nrSt single specimen
in the world. 1t is hexagOnal in form, over
two inches in length and two inches in
diameter. This stone. the largest known.

bought from Dom Pedro, but though ex-
ceeding.y beautiful in color, ii has several
flaws. But flaw is test of emerald's pur-

The Hon. Miss Eden possesses the fam

a jewel which tells its own tale clearly of
Oriental extravaganza and love of the
marvellous. The ring is cut out of a solid
emerald an inch and a quarter in diane

and Jehangir,s name is engraved thereon.
Shah Soojah gave it to The East India

RAILROADS COMBINING.
Gigantic Combination BrinR Formed In

Cleveland. Ohio. May S.-Thc Lead.
er will say tomorrow: According to Il
high official of the Vanderbilt lines In
this city. the details of a big railroad
trust. which is 10 include all the lines
between Boston and Chicago. are now
being worked out and the consolidation
may he completed within the next few
weeks.
The recent purchase of shorter lines
In New York. Pennsylvania. Ohio. In.
diana and Illinois was In line with the
plans for the consolidation, which has
been in contemplation. II is not the
purpose TO have all the lines under one
management exactly. but to npportion
them among the Pennsylvania com
pany. the Vanderbilt Interests and the
Baltimore n Ohio company. when II
shall have been reorganized. giving to
each system the lines that II can use
to the best advantage.
The first inkling Of the scope of the
plan came when the vanderbilts an
nounced the other day that they con.
trolled all the roads In New England.
with the exception of the Boston 4 Al.
hany, with which they have now n
traffic agreement and which they er.
pect to take In soon. The Vanderbilts
now control NIL the trunk lines between
Buffalo and New York. with the excep-
tion OF the Erie. the Lackawanna and
the Lehigh Valley. The Erie. II is said.
will come under the control of the
Nanderbilts through the influence Of
the Morgans. while the Lehigh vallsJ
may go to the Baltimore & Ohio. The
Lackawanna Is now operated In con.
nection with the Nickel Plate. n Van.
derbilt line.
The purpose OF the consolidation Is
said to be to prevent rate cutting and
to accomplish practically what the
1oint Traffic Association was organized
to do.

Trouble vt New York.

Trouble ut New York.
New York, May 9-President Michael
Q. Murphy of the Board of Health, or
dered the arrest to-day of Mrs. Maria
Miller, faith cure healer, who Is
charged with being responsible for the
critical condition in which Aillie
GrantZ, Il 12-ycar-od child now Is, ns
result of gangrene in the foot.
The child was first attended by Il
physician who said the affected mem
ber would have to be amputated. The
parents refused to consent to this, and
called in Mrs. Miller, who II is alleged
she could cure the child by laying on
her hands.
The patient grew rapidly worse un-
der this treatment and physician was
again called in. He ordered the child to
hospital where the left leg was am
putated. but the case had gone too far,
and 1t is feared death will ensue.
Coroner Banning and jury this af-
ternOon and evening held an inquest
at Mount Vernon into the death of
Mrs. Charlotte NJ Barguet. who died
Wednesday of dropsy and whose life,
1t was claimed might have been saved
II she had been given medical attend
ance. The authorities claim she was
treated by Christian Science methods
and that the nelgect resulted In death.
The jury handed in verdict to the
effect that Mrs. Barguet died from
acute dropsy, which could have been
relieved. IL not entirely cured and life
prolonged, had proper medical attend
ance been given. The jurors held that
Mrs. Clarence Fowler, the Christian
Scientist who treated the woman; Lis
ton Il. Barguet. Jr.. her son, and Miss
Ethel Barguet. her daughter. We're
guilty of negligence, and recommended
that the coroner take the proper steps
to punish them.
Coroner Banning accepted the YER
dict and Immediately announced that
he was sitting rs n committing magis-
trate and directed the constables pres
ent to arrest and bring before him the
three persons held responsible by the
Jury. The coroner announced that he
would hold Liston Bnrguet. Jr.. and
Mrs. Fowler to await he action Of the
grand jury, under $1,000 bail each. or
stand committed TO the county Jail nt
White Plains. In the case OF Ethel
Barguet, he would hold her as nm ac-
cessory. The two held ms principals
