THEIR GEMS FOR THE CHURCH,
RARE COLLECTION MADE FOR A
SET OF CHALICES,

Including q Ring with a Secret Sprina

May Have Been Stolen From q Prel.

The Rev. Alexander p. Doyle, who 10
collecting funds for the erection Of the
Apostolic Mission House in Washington
and who has been gathering old jewelry
for q set of chalices for the Mission House,
sent to the smelter yesterday enough pre-
cious metal and gems to make several
chalices. Among the collection were trink-
cts from some of the Oldest and proudest
families in America.
There were number OF gems with strange
histories. Among these was large ring.
which has evidently been taken from the
hand Of some high dignitary Of the Church.
As these insignia are always buried with
prelates and the giver of the gem is un-
known, Father Doyle believes tho ring may
have been the spoil OF grave robber.
The ring is of ancient make and bears
a cross in perfect pearls, with tho setting
carved In jet instead OF gold. While ex-
amining it, a secret spring was accidentally
touched and the top setting was removed.
revealing tiny reliquary containing what
the Latin INSCRIPTION declared 10 be
relique OF the true Cross.
This ring will be left intact and will circle
the column OF one Of the richest Of all the
chalices.
Another curious article in Father Doyle's
collection is a solid silver chalice which
was found in an ash barrel in Chicago.
How II got there is not known. 1t is thought
that it was either stolen from a Chicago
church or brought from the Philippines
after the war, when stories of robhing
churches in and about Manila were numer-
GUS. In either case it is thought that the
person who had it could not dispose Of II
for gain, and abandoned it.
The collection includes forty-four rings
without settings, chiefly wedding rings,
twenty-seven rings with settings, and in
all eighty ounces of pure gold. There
are brooch, with thirty-seven large tur-
quoises, and gold locket with five dia-
monds. Nearly every known precious
stone is represented in the pile, There
are sixty-one half pearls, ten whole pearls

Though Small Audience.

Mr.. Paul Gilmore, the young romantic
actor, who has for the past five sea
sons. .beeu starring in modern and ro-
mantle dramas, filed an engagement at
the Traders Grand opera house last
night. An appreciative and fashionable
audience was present to witness him.
The audience was not as large as an ae-
tor of Mr.. Gilmore's ability merited, yet
this was unquestionabIy due to the very
inclcment weather.
The play he presented at the opera
hosue last night was Haddon Chambers
delightful comedy drama, "The Tyranny
of Tears The 4tears," however, are
used to create laughter. Mr.. Gilmore
is supported by company of able ac-
tors, and the play last night was most
heartily enjoyed by those present. He
is possessed of a charming personality
and his able presentation of his part
convinced his auditors that he is a
master Of his profession.
The play IS slightly devoid Of action,
vet it Is a work of dramatic, as wen
as of literary art, and the interesting
situations of the young husband who is
trying to escape the tyranny Of the
tears of his young wife throughout the
play brings continuous roar of laugh
ter from the audience.
Miss Grace Hobart Hanson, who plays
the role OF Mrs. Parbary, the spoilt
wife, whose domestic prerogatives are
broken BY the final desperate determine
ton of the husband, is an actress of
eminent ability. Her part called for
strong emotional acting, and she fitted
the role to perfection. She is, by the
wnv. a niece of the late yiee-President
Garret A. Hobart.
To those who saw the play last night,
Il will be pleasing TO know that Mr..
Gilmore viii be seen here again next
year in the Mummy and the Humming
