Mystery Of ana ocean Lsnsr Espls,n~a

Not many weeks ago the newspa-

abstracted Scotland Yard detectives
We're summoned, but the most astute
thief catchers of that celebrated agen-
icy failed 70 meet with any success.
Later developments, however. have
thrown some light on the mystery. ON
board and receiving the constant at
tention Of q lady and gentleman pas
senger was q fine, large group Of os
triches, consigned TO one ]. II. Perez
val, Paris. France. The lady and
gentleman, it seems, after the steamer
landed, disappeared. as did also the
Hook Of feathered beauties. All trace
of the birds were lost, until the other
day, when they We're unloaded at the
Plant System dock. The rag however,
had been changed and one Of the birds
was missing. 1t turned out TO be n
mcst valuable bird, and the discovery
was the Nark q New YORK stealth
hound. Gu every visit TO the hold of
the steamer by the aforesaid lady and
gentleman this particular ostrich was
fed jewel, watch, diamond ring or
some other valuable -purloined
by this couple from the state rooms of
their fellow passengers. This partic-
ular ostrich seemed to feast on jewelry
BE that as ii may, the birds feathers

man are in the hands of the Paris po-

about to sail for America, after hay

York. Having no reason TO detain the
birds and as the real culprit had beer

This winter will mark renaissance

who is SO fortunte as to possessa supply
of heirlooms will be very much envied.
Old brooches, buckles, earrings, brace
let's and pins which have been lying
packed away in their old fashioned,
faded cases will be brought ont and
either used as they are or remodeled
to suit my ladv's fancy. Coral will be
especially popular, and the long -droop
earrings which were regarded as such
beautiful ornaments In our grandmoth-

pendants. Coral beads will be used
quite extensively. and the dainty
bracelets of this material are also to
be worn.
But most fortunate of all the girls
is she who has one of the odd fashion
ed cameo brooches or, better still, an
antique ivorv painted miniature Of one
of her ancestors. This brooch can be
worn upon any and all occasions as n

more eonpsicuous, il may be put to its
original use--as throat ornament.
The more quaint and antique the min

mother at her age.

Another meeting of the Water Board

in favor of giving the proposition fur
Their consideration and, If satisfactory
terms can be agreed upon, he is in ia
vor Of accepting the proposition. The
other members of the board, Messrs

favor of giving the proposition amy

cordance with the views of the last

Winchester, Va, Aug.
mysterious suicide of pretty ~
year-old girl. member Of
known family. on the street here late
Saturday night was not unraveled by
the coroner's jury yesterday, and will
likely remain mystery. The victim
Of self-destruction was Miss Rehecca
Albin, daughter Of ex-Judge M. ID.
Albin, a former prominent business
man of Winchester. The girl was
found ON North Washington street. IL
fashionable thoroughfare, about 80
o'clock. People were attracted to the
spot by her means, and ten minutes
later she was dead. Before She died
she said that she had taken strvchnine.
but beyond saying That she was tired
Of life she gave no motive for her act.
: possible motive was SUSPECTED
when j. r.. Pinnell, travelling man
OF Philadelphia, was placed under ar
rest nj o'clock yesterday morning 1t
was learned, and Pinnell himself aa-
mitted 20 the coroner's jury, that he
had met Miss Albin, aud for the past
three days had been much ia her com.
pany. He frequently called TT the
house. he said, and they took Il num-
Der Of drives and walks. About D.
O'Clock Saturday afternoon pinnell
and Miss Albin went walking. He
left her about 4 o'clock, and few
minutes later she went into drug
store for two ounces Of chloroform,
which was given her. She then said
her mother had sent her for bottle
OF strychnine, and she was given n
bottle containing "a grains.
The girl then went home. and, nc
cording to Pinnell's testimony, she
failed to keep an engagement with him
10 20 driving that night. No evidence
WIS produced to show the girls nove-
ments between the time she left home
at 8 o'clock and when she took the fa-
tai dose. Pinnell, however, said lie
was driving around town hunting for
her, and the first he knew Of the sui
eide was when he called ut her home.
Miss Albin was conscious to with u
a few minutes Of her death. When
told she was dying she seemed to re-
greet her act, and begged tile physi-
clans to save her life, crying. Oh,
WHY did do it. In arsweg 10 ques-
tions, she refused to give any reason
for her act, only saying, ~ am tired.
SO tired Of life z Pinnell denied that
he was driving with the girl 1T night
but ii is asserted TINT SHE was ont
driving with some one,
The coroner's jury brought III d ver-
dict that Miss Albin came to her death
by dose of strychnine, self-adminis-
tered. and ex-onerated Pinnell from
any connection with her death. Pin
nell was discharged from custody.
Miss Albin was an unusually pretty
girl and the circumstances Of her
