MRS. TUoMEY's JEWELS.
Unusual Proceedings Mt Law before
Judge Hagner.

Judge Hagner, in Equity Court No. l.
yesterday passed an order requiring Hor-
ace X. Fulton to turn over TO Mrs. Ella
Tuomey a combination two-stone diamond
ring and earring held by him as pledge.
Mrs. Tuomey alleged that the diamonds
were of the value of about 81 coo. but pos
sessed to her sentimental value not
measurable in money inasmuch as they
were a wedding present from her de-
ceased husband. During September. 1900,
she declares, she entrusted the stones to
New York jeweler to be reset and al
leges that he absconded with them. 1t is
declared that the stones were pawned in
this city for $500 and that when she de-
manded them of Mr.. Fulton he refused to
deliver them. Action of replevin at law
failed to put her in possession OF her
property and she instituted, through her
attorneys. MILAN e. Smith, proceedings in
equity. She was required to deposit $500
to meet any demands upon her by any de-
cree on final hearing OF the case.
Mrs. Tuomcy is a resident of South Car
DINA and came here for the purpose of
taken in the case by lawyers because of
the novelty of the proceedings. an inter-
locutory mandatory injunction being
granted only in rare instances, and it
being seldom that equity is resorted to
in cases TO recover possession of personal
chattels

The District Health Office recognizes
that it has no Jurisdiction over the small
pox cases in Hyattsville and vicinity, but
Mt the same time the proximity of that vii
lage to the City of Washington and the
constant going and coming Of persons be-
tween the two places has given them
some anxiety lest the disease be brought
into the District. The first step taken
was to correspond with the health Off
cials of Maryland and Prince George
county. Not receiving very satisfactory
replies to letters Of enquiry either as 10
the number Of cases or the means being
used to prevent the spread of the malady,
it was determined to make an inyestiga
lion for the satisfaction of the department
and to put it into possession of the facts
that the necessary precautions could be
taken to keep the disease Out Of the Dis
trict.
Accordingly an inspector of the Health
Department went to Hyattsville. College

would be poor policy to turn it down.
when the account has grown SO
large that we think it should have at
tention, we give the head waiter q
tip, and without telling the man in SO
many words he is given to understand
that cash would be preferred to an
autograph. Sometimes the man takes
the hint and makes payment or asks
for more time and tells us that he will
pay as he goes, and he remains Gus
toner without increasing his account,
but generally he leaves us and goes
to some other place and complains
about poor service here and in other
ways tries to injure our business be-

with him after the theater that even

order showed that he was unaccustom-

fill orders. and we said that his supper
would be served all right. Then he
laid down sum Of money, more than
enough to pay the bill, and said, This
will save me the trouble this evening,
and went away. The supper passed
off nicely, the mans friends from the
country or the country part Of the city
seemed to enjoy their spree, and finally
the host asked for his check, looked at
it and then said grandly and loud
enough for all to hear, Charge it. The
supper was grand affair in the eyes
Of the guests, but the climax-the order
I to charge it'-overwhelmed them, and

object, which was evidently to make

In New York City.
Legal proceedings recently taken to
recover from well known citizen who
belongs to the fashionable" class the
amount Of tailor's bill revealed the
fact that the man was poor, had no
money and no means of support and
owed many bills. Besides tailors, shoe
makers and hatters, he owed money to
florists, jewelers., livery stable keepers,
dealers in theater tickets, shirtmakers,
stationers and restaurateurs. One Of
the largest bills against the man was
contracted in the course of several
years at q prominent up town restau-
rant.

represents hundreds Of charges and has

''But how is it done-how do people
run big bills in restaurant
well, in the first place, because we
look upon men who come here as gen
tlemen and treat them accordingly.
don't remember just how the account
in question was opened, but usually it
is done in this way: Some day, after a
man receives his check, he scrawls his
name across it's face and tells the wait
er, I'll pay this tomorrow; it's all
right and then if the person in charge
at the desk marks it %. X the check is
hung up and an account is opened
with the man.
"In most instances the man comes
back, as he said he would. the next
day and settles his little bill and
thanks us for accommodating him. If,
however, the man intends to work the
house, he does not come back the next
day and settle, but waits three or four
days. Then he drops in and orders q
modest luncheon or not elaborate
dinner and scribbles his name across
the check, gives the waiter tip, and
the new account receives it's first adj
dition.
Little by little the account grows,
but never byE any really large charge,

check is liable to be %. KID because
