BIG SEIZURE OF JEWELS.
Treasury Agent Takes S25.0OO Worth
From the Judson.

| The New York Sun Of today saws: Spe-
| cial Treasury Agent William H. Theobald
| In some way got wind of the fact that a
| man and woman who have been since Octo-
! ber 81 at the Judson apartment house on
| Washington square south as Constant Lee
-jeune and wife had jewels which are said
| to be worth S25 900 on which. according to
Theoballd. no duty had been paid on their
| entry into this county. Last night Theo-
bald seized the jewels, but in order TO do
so he had to go to some trouble.
He went to the Judson and was shown
into Lejeune's room. Then he asked for the
they had some, but said they didn't why
they should give them to Theobald, whom
they didn't know. He said he was author
lied to take the Jewels, and they asked for
proof OF his authority.
1t wound up I'm all three going to the Mer-
Ger street police station. where Sergeant
Thompson was asked to identify Theobald.
The agent showed his shield and other
credentials and the sergeant assured the
Lejeunes that Theobald was really a spe-
cial agent Of the Treasury Department.
Thereupon Lejeune pulled out from the
pocket of his fur-lined coat bag in which
were a fine diamond tiara, with a center
diamond almost as big as ten-cent piece;
diamond ring containing one black pearl.
which Theobald said was worth 5000; two
diamond-studded bracelets; four enamel
rings set with diamonds. and a diamond
brooch.
Theobald said that all of the stones were
genuine He pocketed them ALL wrote out
an itemized receipt and gave that to Le-
jeune. who with his wife went back to
the Judson.
Reporters tried to see the Lejeunes at the
Judson later. but they sent word down that
they had nothing to say. 1t was said at
the house that. LeJeune had represented
himself as being here Ito interest French
capital In American mining enterprises"
He doesn't talk much English but has
talked lot OF French with number of
French people who came to see him
The woman. according to the attendants
at the Judson, speaks English well. They
said that she never appeared outside her
room with any jewelry on her. except some
large diamond earrings She is about thir-

Practical Tree Planting.
"As might have been expected. the re.
suits upon the school grounds have not
been marked. Too often the work has beer
impulsive and the interest transient. Trees
planted with ceremonious dignity In April
have died Of neglect before September ard
those that survived have been left to fight
unaided their battles for existence. So lit
tie attention has been paid to the choice OF
trees and to the methods Of planting that
those entirely unfit for the situation have
often been used, and have been planted In
places where they could not receive protec-
ton while young, or serve any useful ptr-
pose when grown. Arbor day has often
come on dry, windy days or clear out of
season for planting. Furthermore, the
planting has been on too small scale to be
of great benefit. Where an acre of trees in
solid block Is needed. only half dozen
specimens have been planted After all
that has been done, the school grounds are
still largely unimproved.
Ihe educational results of Arbor day
endeavors. however, have been extensive
and beneficial. Even though the celebra-
tions nave been largely exhibitions Of SEN
t1ment and the planting almost always
unsuccessful, yet pupils. teacher and par
ents nave learned much about trees as
useful, living things and about forests as
great sources of national wealth to be pro-
tected and perpetually maintained The
smallness of the results has itself drawn
attention to the inadequacy of past meth
ods. 1t Is due in part to lessons learned in
Arpor day planting that we are now ready
TO begin work with better understanding of
what Is to be DONE
-. The need Of the school grounds Is for
plantations of hardy trees, cared for by
such methods as will keep them constantly
thrifty. The trees should be selected and
planted In the most careful manner They
should be properly placed and In sufficient
number. To plant in this way requires a
great deal of attention to details. It may
De the work of several days. The perish
able nature of trees also makes 1t extremely
important to plant them when the weather
conditions are just right. Dry, windy
weather may cause several days delay in
the planting. 1t is therefore impractica BILE
to depend wholly on specified day for the
work Let the trees be planted at the right
time, then, If public exercises are planned,
they may be held on an appointed day
after the planting is completed

MEXICAN PROGRESS.
Theme Of Lecture Delivered by Mr..
John w. Foster,

A large audience at the Rifles Armory
last evening followed with much interest
the account which was given by Mr.. John
w. Foster of the result of his observations
of the progress OF Mexico during the past
quarter Of century. The lecture was one
of the course given under the auspices OF
the National Geographic Society Mr.. Alex
ander Graham Bell, the president of the
society, introduced the speaker, who was
given warm greeting. as he is a welcome
speaker on the platform OF the society.
For seven years. as Mr. Foster stated. he
had lived in Mexico. having gone there as
the minister from this country He had re-
turned to Mexico after an interval OF twen-
ty years. The changes which he noticed
the remarkable development OF the material
resources of the country and the progress
in all directions were pictured by the
speaker with a vividness that enabled the
hearers to realize the situation with almost
the reality OF personal visit. The pictures
shown served admirably to illustrate what
tho speaker said.
Mr. Foster pointed out the DEVELOPMENT
of the railroad systems OF Mexico and said
that in 1873 there was only one road and
that connected Vera Cruz with the City of
Mexico. Now four lines of railroads enter
the Mexican republic from the United
States. and 1t is only a five days journey
from Washington to the Mexican capital.
In addition. the City of Mexico is connect
ed by railroad with the important cities OF
the country.
The railroad and telegraph have been in
the interests of public order Mr.. Foster
added, besides increasing the commerce and
industries of the country. The progress
made by Mexico along many lines was
noted by the speaker. He paid a tribute to
the wise and efficient administration of
General Diaz.
Mr.. Foster said in part as follows:
For generation past Mexico has oc-
cupied the most advanced position of any
of the Latin-American states respecting
religious liberation, absolute freedom of
worship being guaranteed by the constitu-
ton and enforced by the government The
mass OF the people are devout Catholics
but the present archbishop is a man OF
liberal views, and he has done much to
reconcile the people to the new order which
Juarez established after the long and bloody
war against the clerical party.
The Protestant movement at first evoked
opposition and violent outbreaks. but all
that has passed, and its propagandism is
peacefully tolerated in all parts of the land
Compared with the Catholic Church, its ad-
herents as yet are few in numbers, but it
has exerted a marked influence on that
church. The morals and education OF its
clergy have been raised. The necessity of
more preaching is recognized pews are be-
ing introduced, the churches are cleaner
and less gaudy in their interior and the
political utility of some religious division
among the people is seem

a fact, however. Stores are
unable to secure Our styles,
and they are the styles which
are shown in the leading
shops of New York-and
which are worn by the smart

the creations of the leading
makers who set footwear
fashions and they conhne
these styles to us exclusively
in this city,
To emphasize this point of
supremacy-tO convince you
that ours are the accepted

that we furnished the foot

Much of this was made to
suit Individual tastes. In
many instances material was
furnished us, and in a great
many we supplied them from
Our splendid stock.

look to the footwear to be

not require long to make
slippers to order. we like to
