VICTORIAN MEMORIAL.
Proposed to Erect Series OF Crosses TO
Mark Stages Of Queens Last
Journey

NEW YORK. Feb 22.-Two British
memorials are now in a state Of incip-
lent development. says the Trbune's
London correspondent. Bishop Creight-
on's friends have held a consultation
respecting the best method Of perpetu-
atinG his memory and there was a pro-
longed conference at the foreign office
over the statellest and most useful
form Of Victorian memorial. There are
so many unfinished memorials and such
inadequate funds for public purposes
that Bishop Creighton's friends are con-
sidered over Jealous in pressing his
claims.
The only suggestion for the Victorian
memorial which appeals to- the imagina-
ton is the erection Of a series OF monu-
mental crosses-similar to Queen Elean-
or's crosses-at Cowes, Portsmouth, Vic
torla. Paddington and Windsor, to mark
the stages Of the queens last stately
progress.

Jewelry. They picked out that amount
Of gems and said they would cali again

said Cavauagh owned. Rosenfeld no.
tlhed the police and detectives who
were assigned to the case reported that

property on West Sixty second street.

see the owner or agent and deposit $50
or 500 for possession of the deed so
that it may be shown. ostensibly to

BLOOD

We live by our blood, and
on it. We thrive or starve, as
our blood is rich or poor.
There is nothing else to live
on or by.
When strength is full and
spirits high, we arc being re-
freshed. bone muscle and brain,
in body and mind, with con-
tinual flow of rich blood. This
is health.
When weak, in low spirits,
no cheer, no spring, when rest

sleep, we are starved; our blood
is poor; there is little nutri-
