Mrs. Jones Found.

Mrs. II. Leroy Jones, whose mysteri-
Gus disappearance caused wide search
during the past 10 days, was found by
her husband and his lawyer, Robert L..
Cutting, late on Thursday afternoon, in
New York. Mrs. Jones is now at her
husbands home in a condition Of ner-
vOus prostration.
Mrs. Jones was penniless when found
in a cheap furnished hall bedroom in
west Twenty-second street, and was in
so nervous state that she could give
no connected account of her waEderings
since the afternoon of the 10th instant
from the Morris Park race track, whittier
she had gone with her husband and Mr..
Cutting 10 see the races. Mrs. Jones
had been under medical care and deten-
ton, and was constantly in the care of
attendants at her husbands house, and
the trip to the race track was taken for
an outing.
While Mr.. Jones and Mr.. Cutting
went to the betting ring of the track for
few moments Mrs. Jones disappeared.
She seemed dazeda at first, but recover
ed nnder the influence Of Home surround
ings, and told the story of her wanderiDgs
and peculiar experience since she disap-
peared from the race track. She had
worked as farm servant and was employ
ed as governess. After being in her
own home less than "a hours Mrs. Jones
again disappeared yesterday, but was
found and brought home in short time.

TIE TERRIBLE carnage of the past
two days incident to the war now in
progress between Russia and Japan is
a patent refutation of the dream that
the world is about to pass into an age
when war will be known no more. As
a matter of fact half a dozen or more
cases where nation is rising against na-
ton are published daily. Probably
$4,000 or $4,000 men have been
killed, wounded, or are missing in
the battles of last Thursday during the
time the japanese were pushing the
Russians from the heights near Port
Arthur. The japanese admit the loss
of $4,000 men, and there is every rea-
son to believe the Russian casualties
were very large. There is not the
slightest indication of a rift in the dark
cloud now hanging over the far East.
1t will be fight to the finish and the
survival of the mightiest. The scenes
of the past few days are the initial steps
to carnage which will be prolonged

SENATOR NJ. 5. QUAY died this alter
noon. The deceased had for many
wears been one of the most prom
inent and successful of American poll
ticians, and his power had not only
been felt in the State he repres-
ented in the United States SEN
ate but throughout the country. There
were times when he was seemingly about
TO pass into an eclipse, but he always
managed to emerge to the delight of his
friends and the evaporation OF his
enemies. He was simply irrepressible'
and representing, as he did, State with
a large republican majority, he always
managed to keep in the front rank Ever
on the alert aud manifesting remarkable
sagacity, the attempts of his enemies
to down him we're generally futile,
aud being of class with nothing to
Iose-as he entered politics poor man
he could for years hold seat in Con
gress without risking other interests.
He was a great man, no matter what
else may be said OF nina natural
born leader of men. Senator Quay was
an opponent of Simon Cameron, who
long ago preceded him into the spirit
world. Both in their time sailed DER
stormy seas in the rise and fall of parties,
aud Pennsylvania has much 10 praise
and equally as much to condemn in their
respective careers.

diation.

WHEN THE State convention meets
in Richmond on the 9th Of next month
an effort will be made to send instructed
delegates to the national convention at
st. Louis. 1t is hoped that such effort
will fail. In politics, as in war, no
one knows what day will bring forth
and Virginia delegates should be IN
trammeled in order that they may be
free to take advantage of any change or
condition that may occur during the
session ofthe convention. An instructed
delegation has but little weight or force
in deliberative body, and certainly the
men in whom the Virginia democrats
will repose sufficient confidence to send
as their representatives to the national
convention should be given free hand
to act according to their bestjudgment.

Iowa Legislator Introduces a
Measure That Is Certain to
Hamper the Work of Cupid
INAUGURATES A REFORM
Applicants Must Take Course
of Instruction Before Being
Granted a License to Wed
speclal pIspatch 70 nc can.

DES MONIES, Iowa, Feb. 5--Mar-
riages in the State of Iowa cannot be
undertaken until each person to the
ceremony shall have gone through
prescribed course of instruction before
a physician and obtained the latter's
certificate authorizing the issuance of
a license, if the bill introduced in the
Legislature by Representative Shell
becomes a law. The measure provides
for the creation of Bureau of Marri-
age Reform Instruction. the director of
which shall be named by the Governor.
This director shall formulate a course
of instruction intended to acquaint
those who intend to marry with all the
dangers of, unhygienic living, the dan
gers of interfering with nature and
the safeguards necessary to prevent
bringing into the world physically or
mentally deficient children. Every
physician in the State is to give this
course of instruction. and each appli-
cant for a marriage license must fur
nish the certificate OF reputable
physician that he or she has gone
through such course of instruction.

BOY BURGLARS
LAND IN JAIL
Youthful Thieves, Responsible
for Crimes on North. Beach.
Are Taken to the City Prison
ONE Is STILL AT LARGE
Five Business Houses Are En-
tered Within the Last Two
Weeks and Loot Is Taken

Robert O'Conneu, Alf Dollfa and
Charles Champagne We're arrested and
lodged in the City Prison last night
The youths are members of a gang of
bold burglars that has been terrorizing
the North Beach section of the city for
the last month. There is still another
member of the gang at large and as
soon as he is apprehended charges of
burglary viii be entered against the
four.
The criminals. none of whom are over

the work of theft, but malicious mis-

where a butcher shop was broken into
the meat that could not be carried
away was thrown to the floor and
trampled in the sawdust.
About two weeks ago a series of
theets commenced. The drug store Of
Parrone & Hardy at Greenwich and
Mason was robbed and on the same
light an attempt was made to get into
the business house CT Jacob Rehm Jr.
at 731 Montgomery avenue. Two nights
later a window in the rear Of E. Mala-

Then followed the burglary in butch
er shop at Montgomery avenue and
Taylor street In this instance the
place was a complete wreck when the
thieves left The last crime committed
was in the grocery and bar of Vaccar-

effort was first made to pry off the
lock. but being unsuccessful in this the
thieves smashed panel in one of the
doors and entered.
The crimes were easily traced to four

FORTNIGHTLIES
DANCE AT THEIR
LAST ASSEMBLY
BY Sally Sharp.

The eighth season of the Fortnight
lies pleasure giving ended last night
in a delightful dance in the white and
gold ballroom at the Palace-and the
season thus closed will linger long in
the memory as one Of the most bril-
liant of its long career. There was.
however, a negative note in the CHEEKY
greetings Of the receiving party. owing
TO the absence Of the organizer of the
club. Mrs. Munroe Salisbury. to whose
tact and executive force the Fortnight
lies owe their supremacy.
At the two last balls Mrs. Salisbury
was unable 10 leave her apartments,
but it was thought that last night she
would resume her place at the head OF
the receiving line That, however, was
deemed unwise, owing TO her i'll health,
and her two charming daughters, Mrs.
T Dauf0rth Boardman and Mrs Alex
ander d. Keyes. received in her stead
In the receiving party were many of
the patrOnesses-Mr Carter Pomeroy,
Mrs. Gordon Blanding, Mrs. Carter
Pomeroy, Mrs. Eleanor Martin and
Mrs. Hyde-Smith.
While the attendance was hardly up
10 the standard-Owing to the fatigue
induced by the mad social whirl of the
seasc2-(even the men are beginning to
be the worse for wear, and frankly say
so) the maids and matrons were very
fair and distingue as they whirled
through the mazes of the dance.
As to the gowns-many of them were
exquisite. though new-real crisp new
gowns We're conspicuously absent. But
what wonder. at the winters end, and
the alternating season so close at
hand,
The guests last night were not seri-
ously embarrassed for floor space-to
the JOY of the rabid two-stepper Room
there was, and to spare. but a prettier
ball, for a small one. has nU been seen
this fortnight
Supper was served in the Maple
Room, where the tables, bare Of flow
ers, giistened and glittered as is the
wont Of crystal and silver.
As at all the Fortnightly functions,
the music was 2 joy-a joy to the
dancers and to those who sat by.
The conservatory room held the
punch bowl, instead Of being located
in the vestibule, and was a delightful
innovation-one which might to ad-
vantage be followed by other dance
glvers.
And thus closes a successful season
OF the fun-Ioving Fortnightlies. May
the next season be as full of pleasure.

When the party arrived at New York
and proceeded TO board the awaiting
steamer the troubles Of the Vizier and
his guide reached a climax. The steam
shin agents refused to permit the Per-
slams 10 go aboard until their tickets
had been produced for inspection. OF
course. they had none. and finally a
number OF Persians who had gathered
at the dock to see the ex-Vizier off for
Europe dug down in their jeans and
produced $500. 1t was turned over to

amount Of fares demanded by the

him a card upon which he had con-
fessed owing this sum. and il was
nromptIv forwarded TO the Persian
Minister at Washington, who has since
wired TO the railroad agent that his
claim will be paid and that check for
the amount is now on its way to this
city.
CIerfayt says he is done with Persian
viziers. Asked yesterday when he ex-
nected TO receive his promised decora-
lions from the Orient. he replied with
. contemptuous "Bahi' and produced
