there, are strung other gems, the better
to display their beauty. After his pearls
the Rajah prizes most the nine large dia-
monds which hang from his gold coronet.
That in the center, particularly. is Of
great size and beauty.
Particularly odd and effective is the
use to which the Rajah of Punnah has
put the thousands of pearls gathered by
generations of his ancestors. He has
used them to ernbroider his robes of state.
Over the shoulders. down the sleeves and
around the edges of the robe the pearls
have been woven with silk and gold into
beautiful and intricate designs.

Eighteen diamonds are set in the buckle
which fastens the scarf worn over the

are set in the gold hilt of the sword.
The jewel cape of the Maharajah Of
Jodhpore consists of three rows of large
pearls and emeralds alternated. From
every pearl in the last row drops pear

side of this is worn a double rope Of
pearls, fastened together here and there

Rajah of Gwalior His is a wealth of
emeralds. The three bands of immense
stones which, interspersed with numerous
smaller ones, form broad collar over
the chest and shoulders are native cut.
Nor will their owner consider the sugges-
ton that they be re-cut with modern skill
and methods. What they might gain in
brilliancy by the operation would be more
than Offset in his mind by what they
would lose in size. The value of each Of
the large stones is about $4,000.
The strips of gold embroidery upon the
robes of this Indian prince are set with
many emeralds of a smaller size. The
epaulets. which hang from the shoulders
down over the arms, are incrusted with
extraordinarily large stones surrounded
with pearls.
The collar-or one might at most call 1t
cape-worn by the Rajah of Baroda is a
mass of diamonds and various precious
stones, combined in rich and wonderful
confusion. The color and brilliancy Of
this ornament can better be imagined
than described. The lighter stones are
set off by borders of the darker emeralds,
those forming a a fringe around the lower
edge being of immense size and value.
Scarcely less beautiful is the tassel OF
pearls which hangs from the left hand
side of this Rajah's turban. Each string
in this tassel represents fortune. In
each the pearls have been carefully grad
ed as to size and each is tipped with
pompon of silk. The cap of jewels which
covers the Rajah's silk turban is mass
OF various gems to match his collar. The
edge is formed of great diamond
pendants.
Five great ropes of pearls, priceless in
value. constitute the chief treasure of
the Rajah of Nizam. A single pearl from
these might we'll make its owner an OBJ

Chaperonage at Dances.
When young girls are asked to be guests
unaccompnnied by an older woman, the
hostess assumes the office and RESPONSE

dances, etc.
Al a bali the chaperon enters the room
with her charge at her left and steps
slightly In advance of her to greet their
hostess. She takes her seat In the row
OF seats against the wall, and her prote-
gee sits I'm front of her. In Europe at
all large balls the walls of the room are
lined with red velvet sofas wherein the
chaperons are seated, often on raised
dais, with their young people upon chairs
at their feet. The elder women, dressed
with elegance and wearing many Jewels,
make an effective background for the cos

freshness are the more emphasized by
contrast.

Rev. William Hartley was born in
Clithero, Lancashire England, Octo-
Der "a, 1882. He was converted in
his eighteenth year and joined the
Methodist Church about the same
time. At the age of 30 in christian
conservation he fully surrendered
himself to Gods will, definitely gave
himself to His service and was
gloriously sanctified and filled with
the Holy Ghost. Afterward he re-
ceived license as a local preacher.
In after years he finished his course
of study and was ordained local elder.
In 1856 he was married to Miss Alice
Durham, with whom he lived and
walked in peace forty-five years.
He came from England to America
about Is years ago, eight of which he
had spent at his home in Highland
county, known as Brightside, where
on Monday morning, June "a, 1901, he
fell dead as he walked across the
barn lot to catch his horse.
His faith in God was strong. His
walk with Him was close and con-
slant. His fellowship was with God
and His Son Jesus Christ. He loved
all men and was fervently loved by
all who knew him. He was faith
full and efficient local preacher and
worker in the church of which he was
a member, notwithstanding his call
was very sudden he was robed and
ready. He leaves dear faithful
christian wife, one son and daughter,
a daughter-in-law and son.in-law and
two grand children and a host of
friends on both sides of the sea to
mourn their loss. The parting is
painful, but the meeting will be
glorious. He endured as good
soldier of Jesus Christ and when
Jesus came TO take him unto himself
He found him at his post, his house
in order and like wise and faithful
servant looking for the coming of his
master, he was ready on the shortest
notice. His dear wife is standing on
the shore with her face turned
Heavenward in happy anticipation of
a speedy meeting in the portals of
glory. Like an eagle in her cage she
feels that her home is no longer here
and eagerly looks for the parting of
the veil which is very thin and the
opening of the pearly gates which
stand ajar for her.
He is no more with us, but is gone
to the "Better country" to live with
Christ. The spirits of just men made
perfect and his sweet little children
and grandchildren who preceded
him to Heaven.

Obituary..

John Skeen was born in Virginia
February 4, 1919, died June Is, 1901.
He came with his parents to Ohio
when quite young and settled on a
farm on Fall Creek, where he grew to
manhood. He was the youngest of a
family of eight children. John
Skeen was a man of unusual energy
and possessed of good judgment and a
large fund of common sense, which
made him successful business man.
A man of strong convictions and fear
less courage he always discharged
every duty. He always stood firmly
for what he believed to be right, and
when moral questions were to be de-
cided he was always to be found on
the right side. He was ever stall
wart figure in his community.
At the time of his death he was 50
years, months and IA days of age.
It was long life measured by deeds
as well as years. He seemed to be
always actuated by noble purposes
and scorned everything that was base
or ignoble. He was ever hospitable
and it was his delight to share his
home with his friends. His was
genial nature and he lived to make
the world about him brighter.
The last time he was in Hillsboro
was June Is, 1897. This was shortly
after the death of his neice who had
kept house and cared for him for a
number of years. This left him alone
and he was compelled, owing to poor
health, to leave his beautiful home
where he had resided for about Is
years, and he choose the home of his
nephew, Frank Skeen, of Middle.
town, in which he spent his remain
ing days. His brothers and sisters
had all passed on before when he died
June Is, 1901. The remains were
brought to Hillsboro and laid to rest
in the beautiful cemetery there.
