NEWPORT SOCIETY
AGITATED OVER
REAL LIFE RAFFLES
Strange Story Of the Disappearance
and Regaining Of Mrs. Ogden Goe-
let's Diamond Necklace.

Newport society is in condition
Of panic due to the succession of
mysterious robberies which have oc-
CURED during the season. The latest
robbery was that of a priceless di-
almond from the necklace of Mrs.
Pembroke Jones, wife of a New York
millionaire.
Mrs Jones wore the necklace at
the great white BALI at Hartman
Oelrichs' villa Returning from the
ball Mrs. Jones discovered her loss.
Every effort to locate the gem or the
thief has been unsuccessful. A
theory advanced by many is consider
ed plausible. 1t is that a man of ex-
IRENE gentlemanly appearance and
demeanor who appeared at the ball
and whom no one exactly seemed to
know, was in fact a real life Raj
fies," an actual impersonator of the
polished robber of fiction. He, is
supposed, dexterously removed the
diamond from it's setting.
Among the Newport robberies that
of 100000 worth of diamonds from
Mrs. Ogden Goelet, attracted the most
attention. Facts in connection with
this celebrated case" have hitherto
remained unpublished. The gems
were stolen during the wedding fes-
tivites Of Mrs. Goelet's son and were
taken to New York by the thief.
Mrs. Goelet had a strong suspicion
as to the culprit as soon as she dis
covered the jewels were gone. She
was anxious. however, to avoid a
scandal and employed detectives, CIV
ing them strict orders to say nothing
Of the matter to the regular police or
the press.
The thief was traced. Mrs. Goe-
let's suspicious were found to be
correct. She went to New York and
interviewed the thief. He finally ac-
knowledged his guilt and the gems
were restored.
This clears up the mystery OF this
particular robbery to large extent,
but throws no light on the other mys-
FERROUS robberies which have SO
greatly agitated Newport society
and with the latest robbery, that of
Mrs. Jones diamond, is keeping the
wealthy women of the resort in a
state of dread and watchful suspi-
cion.
The robberies of great Importance
are as follows:
Mrs. Ogden Goelet's 100000 dia-
mond necklace, Mrs. j. Stewart Bar
ney's diamonds, Mrs. John Drexel
discovers very valuable jewels miss
ing, Mrs. VIM. f. Carter loses gems
at social function, Mrs. Pembroke
Jones discovers largest stone in her
100000 diamond necklace has dis
appeared.

State Crop Bulletin.

Seattle, Wash, Aug. o., 1904.
Week ending Aug. %, 1904
1t has been another hot and dry
week. There has been no rain in
any locality since the 28th day of
July, and very little for over
month, consequently the drought is
beginning to be seriously felt. Pas
lures have become very dry and
short, so that COWS have to be fed
hay to keep up their milk supply.
Gardens, except where artificially
watered, have dried up badly. The
potato crop has been very injur-
lously affected by the unusually
dry summer, and it is not believed
there will be above half the average
crop. The quality, however, is ex-
cellent.
In the Sound country oats have
ripened rapidly, and cutting is in
progress under favorable conditions.
The crop will be fair. The reports
about hops vary according to local
lty. In Yakima County, where
they are irrigated, the crop will be
good one, and picking will soon
begin In King and Pierce Coun-
ties, except nearest the mountains,
where there is most moisture, the
crop has been affected by the ex-
tremely dry weather.
Wheat reports from Walla Walla
county are of yield little above
average, eastern Whitman county
about average, while in western
Whitman, Adams, Spokane, Lin
coin and Douglas counties the yield
Will be less than average, owing
partly to June frosts, and partly to
not, dry weather in the filling sea-

PROFITABLE CROP

The Wisconsin,. Michigan and Min-
nesota farmer is already beginning to
gather his crop Of graceful frs to be
used next month as Christmas trees
in the big cities. During the past
fifteen years more than 100000 frs
have been sacrificed for Christmas
trees. The demand was small at first
but as ,sooa IS the city dealers were
made acquainted with the quality OF
the trees, they Asaaght more of them
so for The past five taT six seasons the
shipments have 1beap 4nore than a
million every year. The largest num-
Der was sent away four years ago,
when nearly million and a :haf up
right frs, as well as several carloads
OF pines, were forwarded to the whole
saless in various cities. Since then
the desHand for larger trees has
increased, while, the call for trees Of
small size has :,aall!p2o ALMOST ceased. The
reason for this is said sto be that not
so many trees are used in
private families as formerly, the
members of various orders and
churches uniting and patEopizing|
some common Christmas trees. which
is set up in a church or a hall. and
around which the company gathers I'd
witness the distrhoution of presents.
