A Desperate Lover.

Frederick Haflle, barber, of Will
iiamsburg, New York, on Saturday in
the Manhattan Avenue Police Court,
was held in 81 600 bail for hearing on
the charge that he had threatened to
take the life of Teresa Lichtenstein, the
lS-year old daughter OF milliner, be-
cause she refused to elope with him.
Hattie began to force his attentions on
the girl two months ago. He called at
the millinery store OF her mother and
asked for an interview with Teresa.
When the girl appeared Halle cody in
formed her that he was madly infatu-
ated with her and desired Eer hand In
marriage. Miss Lichtenstein was 80
surprised at the mans conduct that she
called her mother, and Haffie was
elected. lie loitered in front of the
store and whenever he met the girl
he would tell her that he loved her
and begged her to elope with him.
In order to put an end to the
ANNOYANCE Miss Lichteustein caused
a summons against Hafile to be
issued in the Manhattan Avenue p olice
Court. When the barber was arraigned
Magistrate O'Reilly adjourned the hear
ing until next Friday aud warned Haf-
lie to keep away from the girl. Miss
Lichtenstein saw nothing more of the
barber until last Wednesday, when he
began his annoyance again. He met
the girl in thestreet, near her home, and
begged her to elope with him. When
she informed Hafile that she had no de-
sire to have anything to do with him,
he threatened to take her life, it is al
legged, and again urge'l her to consider
his proposition to elope. Miss Lichten
stein was afraid he might carry out the
threat and she made another complaint
in court. He was arrested yesterday.
He declared that he loved Miss Lichen-
stein and would die for her. On being
arraigned in court he acted as if he were
deranged, and after fixing bail at 81 900,
Magistrate o. Reilly adjourned the hear
ing until Friday.

Horsewhipped Teacher.

Miss Blanche Wagner, young teacher
in Ardmore, Pa, Grammar School, was
horsewhipped in the parlor of North's
boarding house, at that place. on Tuesday
by Mrs. w. j. Elder. Mrs. Elder is the
wife of DR.. w. J. Elder, of Norristown,
Pa. and is one of the borough's most
attractive women. A letter from Mis-
Wagner to the doctor, which the doctors s
wife is said to have found in one OF her
husbands pockets, was the direct cause
of Mrs. Elder plying the whip. lmme-
diately after the castigation the pretty
teacher told Mrs. North that she had
made mistake, as she fully believed
DR.. Elder was unmarried. Then Miss
Wagner told Mrs. North that she met
DR.. Elder while attending teachers
convention at Norristown. Later she
went with him to the theater, and a
strong friendship developed. Only re-
Gently did shelearn that he was married.

AsToR GEMS FOR BRIDE.

When Miss Pauline Astor becomes
the wife of Captain SpeDder Clay she
will become the owner of a collection OF
levels worthy of royalty itself. Will
liam Waldorf Astor, intends to present
to his daughter on her wedding day all
of the jewels which belonged to her
mother. the late Mrs. Astor. Despite
statements to the contrary, Mr.. Astors
gift of the splendid jewels owned by the
late Hrs. Astor is of itself regarded as
certain evidence of his satisfaction with
the matrimonial choice of Miss Pauline.
All of the jewels are being reset by or
der of Mr.. Aslor, so that the mountlngs
will be in the present mode.
The most notable piece in the collec-
ton is a splendid parure of emeralds,
reckoued to be the finest in Europe. 1t
is being mounted according to the latest
ideas in gem setting. A Partisan jew
elcr has also made on Mr. Astor's order
a superb ornament for the neck in the
design so much favored this year by the
uIlra-smart Parisienne. This ornament
extends halfway round the neck, the
Jewels being mounted on velvet band.
There is some curiosity as to whether
Mr.. Astor's gift of jewels to his daugh-
ter will incllde a collection OF black
pearls. which is considered the finest of
its kind in the world. These pearls were
originally the property of the mother OF
Mr.. Astor aud are regarded as family
heirloom, to be handed down to the
eldest son of each generation, just as the
bulk of the New York real estate is dis
posed of. The late Mrs. Astor seldom
wore the famous black pearls Captain
Spender Clay is unwilling that all OF the
wedding jewels of his fance should
come from her family, and has bought
for her a number of exquisite gems.
Among these are a superb tiara, a col.
lar, a necklace, riviere, pendants and
earrings of diamonds and huge pearls.
Equally magnificent is the wealth OF
Jewels which young Bradley Martin vii!
shower upon Miss Phipps on their we'd
ding day. The engagement token which
ho gave her is a ring designed especially
to his order. In the centre is an enor-
nous sapphire set in a circle of line
diamonds. He has also had made a
superb collar of diamonds three and a
half inches in height at the front, the
design being garlands of leaves forming
circles, each of which incloses a monster
pearl. The collar cost SlS, 900, and a
tiara is being made to match It.

ToRPEpoEp AND CRIPPLED A JAP.
ANEsE CRUISER.
Occurred OF the Coast Of Dalny-
While Japanese Were Concentrating
Their Attention to Talienwan Bay
a Russian Launch Crept Among
Them and Shot Torpedoes.

Liaoyang. Saturday, May 16.-The
Russian fleet scored its first distinct
naval success Of the war on May 10 by
torpedoing and Gripping. though not
sinking, an armored cruiser In Talien-
wan bay.
The Russian attack was carefully
planned on May 10, while the japanese
squadron was concentrated outside
Dalny, devoting its whole attention to
Talienwan bay, and was carried out
the same night.
The attacking force was not a regu.
lar torpedo boat. but was only q small
naptha launch in command Of young
naval officer. who had with him three
jackies. The launch mounted a small
machine gun and carried three tor
pedoes.
When darkness fell the launch crept
out Of Port Arthur. hugging the shore,
with no lights aboard, and no glow
from the engines to betray her pres.
ence. 1t was late when she gained
the outer line of the Japanese squad
ron. Shipping through the torpedo
boat pickets and selecting the nearest
warship, big armored cruiser. she
stole toward her and succeeded in ex-
ploding against her side q single tor.
pedo.
A deafening roar followed the ex.
plosion, which echoed far ashore. I'm.
mediately flames enveloped the cruiser.
which evidently was badly crippled.
The crew of the cruiser was seen to be
fighting the fire, which they at last
succeeded in extinguishing. A sister
ship took the damaged vessel in tow
and disappeared to the southeast
The launch escaped the hot fire d.
rected against her by the Japanese
ships, but, being unable to return to
Port Arthur or to go into Dalny, she
was beached not far from Dalny. Only
a few of the higher officers were aware
of the plan, the success Of which de.
pended upon secrecy. The achievement
raised the spirits of the Russians
afloat and ashore, and the young naval
officer who was the hero of the exploit
was feted and recommended for the
cross Of st. George.
