Christmas Card Worth Millions.
The most expensive Christmas card
ever made was prepared by an Eng
lish firm in Calcutta some years ago
for the native ruler of Baroda, in the
East Indies, and intended as a gift for
European lady Of rank with whom
the great man was In love. This card
was foot in length by ten inches in
width and of flawless ivory, to obtain
which over forty elephants were kill
ed. -Four of the most skillful caryers
to be found were at work for six
months on this magnificent present.
When 1t was finished the eyesight OF
three Of them were Injured and the
fourth man became blind. The en-
craving and carving they didwere the
representing Of 10000 of the stages OF
existence of Buddha. The card was
ornamented around the edges like a
frame with forty-fou diamonds of the
9prest water, and each the size Of a
hazlenut., The cost WAS Estimated at
half q mi}linn Nounds sterling. The
lady never got her present, for the

Ellis street. When they reached the
engine house they were notifi&p that
DR.. Durr had just turned downtBroad
Street They followed quickly, over
taking DR.. Durr midway the square,
in front OF the old Welsh house. He
made no resistance when haulted and
willingly threw up his han6s to be
searched. He made no) statement
further than to say thaEhe had shot
DR.. Sally. The officers Say he was
drunk or under the influence of some
thing, what they could not say.
AT the police barracks DR.. Durr re-
fused to make statement to the
newspaper reporters present. The
officers on duty there, also declare
that he was either under the influence
of liquor or drug. For this reason
they made no effort to talk to him
about the shooting, and shortly after
he was sent to jail, on the charge of
assault with intent to murder. So
far as can be learned DR.. Durr made
no statement TO any one as to
why he shot DR.. Sally. There is a
report current in West End that
sometime earlier In the day DR.. Dnrr
declared that it was his intention to
shoot DR.. Sally, alleging that DR..
Sally had used underhand methods to
Injure him with his patients, and to
secure his dismissal as attending physi-
clan. DIR. Durr is said to have made
such statements to a Mr.. Ware and a
MIR. Swearingame. These gentlemen
could not be located for a confirma-
tion of these reports.
1t was also gathered from indefinite
reports that the immediate cause Of
5he shooting was the fact that DIR.
oalley had been called in to attend
case in the Fuller family, who occupy

Sally used unfair methods to root him

jhese reports, there is no motive de-
'eloped for the shooting. The bullet

Sally just above the collar bone, and

The outcome Of the wound depends,

injury done by the bullet. 1t may be
