A $4,000 PEARL FOUND IN AN OYSTER


It became known yesterday that
Lieutenant Herbert Whipple, OF the
Seventh United states Cavalry. recently
found a valuable pearl in an oyster
patty while dining with friends in the
Waldorf-Astoria hotel The pearl was
the size OF a hazel nut and nearly
round Had e not been damaged In the
cooking, experts say, 1t would be worth
at least $4,000
The dinner was given IN honor Of
Lieutenant Whipple a few days before
his departure to join his regiment I'm
Cuba. AS he was eating an oyster
patty his teeth struck something hard.
As 1t was too round TO be a piece Of
oyster shell, he made an examination.
and found It 10 be a beautiful pearl.
The process Of cooking had changed It's
appearance from pure white TO a dun
turquoise blue
Lieutenant Whipple decided to have
the gem put in a stiekpiu for his wife.
and sent 1t TO a ieweler the next day

At the AthenRum.

The Athenaum has been open every
weekday evening, except Wednesdays,
since October 1, and the number OF even
ing visitors to the library, during that
time, shows that the move is appre-
ciated. Since the new rule went into eff
feet, the average number visiting the
library and reading-room nightly, except
Saturday, has been about 40. The
smallest attendance was 25 and the
largest 60. Several years ago the pres
ent plan was followed but at that time
the attendance did not warrant its con,
tinuance, and for time the Library
was closed every evening except Satur
day. Later Iuesday evening was added
and now Monday, Thursday and Friday
are on the list of open nights. This plat
will be followed for time at least, ant
if there seems to be a sufficient demant
for it from the public, it will doubtles
become permanent.

A peculiar case of cruelty came to light
Monday when fruit crate, containing
two chickens, one dead and the other
just alive, was found in the basement of
the bank block in the passageway lead
ing to the rooms under the postoffice.
The crate had been noticed there for a
week but nothing was known OF it's con
tents until Monday afternoon. One o
the chickens had eviden ly been dead fol
some days and the other was alive bu
unable to stand, having. in all probabil
ity, been without lood tor nearly week

Librarian at Pretoria.

The following notice clipped from a
recent issue of the New York Tribune,
will be of interest to many ST. Jonsbury
people.
"The Rev. James Gray, formerly Pres
byterian minister in Pretoria has been
appointed by Lord Roberts acting
librarian of the library there. 1t may
not be generally remembered that the
reverend gentleman few weeks before
the outbreak OF hostilities publically de
nounced Krugerism from his pulpit, and
had to fee to Durham in consequence"
Mr.. Gray is a brotherin.law of Will
liam c. Tyler of this place, and was in
St. Johnsbury about five years ago and
has quite wide circle OF acquaintance
in this vicinity. He has been in the thick
of the trouble in the Transvaal since the
beginning. AS above stated he was pas
tor of the Presbyterian church in Pre-
toria at he beginning of the war. He
enlisted in the British army and was ap-
pointed chaplain and assigned to the
Scotch Fusileers, serving through the
principal part OF the war with Buffers
army. Later he was with Gen. Ian
Hamilton in his campaign ag 'nst De-
Wet. While with Hamilton's command,
he was directed by special order OF Lord
Roberts to report at Pretoria, and on
arriving there found that he had been
selected for the important post of libra
rian 10 that city. Rev. Mr. Gray's home
was undisturbed during the conflict,
some OF his parishoners givingi it special
care during his absence.

Apollo Lodge at the rlethodist Church.

At the Methodist church Sunday even
ing. the pastor Rev. George W. Hunt,
gave the first lecture OF series on "The
successful Life" the subject on this oc'
cason being "A True Knight in Israel
and His Friend" The members of Apol
10 Lodge, No. 2, Knights OF Pythias,
had been invited to be present as guests
of the church, and about so members OF
this organization met at their Castle
Hall and marched to the church in a
body, occupying seats in the front of the
church. Mr.. Hunt, who is member of
Apollo Lodge, delivered a strong and in
teresting address, taking for his subject
the story of Johnathan. He told in an
interesting way the wonderful history of
this knight in Israel" laying partcu-
lar stress on his faith in God, his loyalty
to duty, and his great and unsel6sh love
for David his friend.
The speaker referred to the friendship
of Damon and Pythias, and said that to
him, this story OF profane history, and
the story of David and Jonathan, in
sacred history. were the two most
notable examples of human love anc
friendship. the world had ever known
Mr.: Hunt closed his lecture by showing
how the great principles which mad
Johnathan true knight could well b
applied to The lives OF young men OF to
day, and that these principles are wha
is needed to insure The Successful Lite.
