and especially so in the matter of jew
els. The Countess OF Warwick was
there as Queen Semiramis, Lady Ran
dolph Churchill as Byzantine En-
press, and the Princess Hatzfeldt as
Queen Esther with stockinglesS feet
and jewels on her toes.
But among all these society leaders
none wore such valuable jewels as
Miss Goelet. Her headdress was
mass Of pearls. diamonds and rubies
blazing with colored light. Ropes Of
pearls hung down ON each side Of her
face Her neck was encircled with
many necklaces, and her arms were
laden with bracelets. The Oriental
headdress was admirably. suited to
her dark type Of beauty. The value
Of her jewels was not less than $780,
600, but that is 4 trifle, for she is the
possessor of $30,OOOOG0 worth of New
York real estate.

Metropole sponge or hip bath in bed

Victoria and First Avenue the rates
for sponge baths and hot baths are
like the preceding ones. but one can
get cold bath in a bathroom for

Hotel Russell one must pay sixpencc

WORRIED BY TOO MANY DEER.
Droves of Them Interfere With Rsir
road Building in Mexico.

/ ROAD Building in Mexico.
| Captain William Scott, who is build
| ing the new line of the National Rail
road Company Of Mexico from Monte
rey to San Miguel, says that the CON
struction work is being badly inter
fered with by droves Of deer.
According to Captain SCOTS state
ment, the deer make raids on the con
struction camps and eat up the forage
intended for the mules Of the graders.
These attacks have become so fre,
Quent and bold that it has been found
necessary to keep guards posted
around the camps both day and night
to prevent the raids Of the herds OF
deer.
The statement of Captain Scott is
confirmed in a letter just received at
Austin, Texas, from Frank Poult, who
has sub-contract on the road. He
says:
The country through which this
new road will pass is simply a nunt-
ers'' paradise. never saw'Aso many
deer in all my life, and have been
something of a deer hunter in my
time.
The animals overrun our camps.
eat up our grub, stampede our mules
and play havoc generally. They are
in such great numbers that there is no
sport in shooting them.
II and most of the other sub-con-
tractors have issued orders for our
foremen to carry rifles at all times in
order to keep the animals from inter
fesing with the mems work. The other
n.-ht bunch of deer, in which there
were several big bucks, entered our
camp and when fired upon by the
guards broke and ran right through
our tents.
Some of them got tangled up in
the tent ropes, and before they could
get away we had captured five Of the
animals alive. We. still have them
here in camp, and if 1t was not for
the expense Of getting them to you l
would ship them up to Austin.
"On another occasion a drove OF
the animals upset our meal tent and
nearly scared our Mexican cook to
death. The biggest nuisance we have
to contend with down here is the
wild deer.
81 never before knew that these
animals have so much curiosity. They
beat an old maid in that respect.
There are very few settlements in
this part of the country, and no deer
hunting has ever been done. I sup
pose that this accounts for the bold
ness Of the animals.
1T seems a shame to kill them un-
der these circumstances, but we have
to do it for our own protection. When
this road gets finished to Matamores,
situated opposite Brownsville, Tex, it
will open up a country which will be
the mecca Of hunters. But it will
not take long to kill off the deer, al
though they are apparently here by
countless thousands"
