WORE VALUABLE GEMS
WOMAN AND BOY THOUGHT THEY
WERE INVITATIONS.

Maria Brown, colored, and her young
nephew have been wearing diamond rings,
pins and other valuable jewelry for several
months, thinking they were cheap imita-
TONS Lizzie Dixon, Mrs. Browns niece
and sister of the boy, is said to have made
them presents of the gems.
Where did you get the jewelryr' the
aunt asked the child at the time she gave
her the articles.
Mrs. Robinson gave them to me-" the
sixteen-year-o girl is said to have answer
ed. She also said she had sent another
article of jewelry to relative in the coun-
try.
The girl declared. 1t Is stated, that Mrs
Robinson had given her the articles and
that she had told her that. the settings were
only glass Mrs. Robinson Is the widow
OF Bushrod Robinson and was living at
house 1909 10th street in January last She
moved from there to a fiat at 1884 Q street
In January and about the time she moved
she reported the loss of nearly $500 worth of
Jewelry. Maria Brown was trusted ser
want in the house. but her employment
ceased when Mrs. Robinson moved to the
nat. Later Mrs. Robinson returned to the
18th street house and then she sent for her
domestic. Two days ago Maria and her
nephew called at the house wearing jew
elry Maria had a pearl brooch fastened
TO her collar and a diamond ring on her
nnSef Ihe boy wore a diamond ring.
Had Nothing to Conceal.
Maria's appearance caused Mrs. Robin
son much surprise. She readily recognized
the jewelry that the domestic and the boy
were wearing and thought it strange that
they would display the alleged stolen prop
erty when calling at her house Maria had
nothing to conceal, however. and she told
Mrs. Robinson that Lizzie Dixon. her niece,
had presented the jewelry TO her and the
boy.
She told me you gave her the. jewelry
and that you said it was cheap glass stuff"
Maria stated.
II seemed like a joke to Mrs. Robinson.
Lizzie had assisted about the house when
Mrs. Robinson moved and the girl was
questioned at that time. but she denied hav-
ing any knowledge of the whereabouts OF
the jewelry.
Detectives Grant and Trumbo were sent
Tor and told of what had developed. Yes
terday they found Lizzie and placed her
under arrest. Even after the girl had been
told of the value of the jewelry and of the
statements Mrs. Robinson had made she
declared that the articles had been given
to her.
Lizzie was charged with grand larceny
ana the detectives sent her to the house OF
detention to be held for a hearing in the
juvenile court tomorrow. The valuable ring
that was said to have been sent to a friend
In the country will possibly be recovered in
a Few days. Maria Brown will probably
be one Of the most important witnesses
against her niece when the case is tried.

THE CELlBATES.

Not all women will or can mar
ry and the same can be said of
men. Many women who are af-
fectionate, domestically inclined
and who desire above all things a
husband, home and children, have
no lovers. 1t is not the best girls
who have the most lovers, or who
are the soonest married. The
more substantial qualifications
such as loyalty, stability of char
acter, steadfastness, good DISPOSE
ton, Willingness to be helpful,
sound common sense and strong
character, do not often appeal to
the young man in search of a wife.
Prettiness, winning ways, coquet.
tish eyes, dashing manner, stylish
dressing and silly little "baby-
isms" attract lovers and offers of
marriage, and most of men will
pass by the plain-featured, sensi-
bly-dressed, Woodworking girl who
attends strictly toher own bust
ness, and devote himself to the
pretty airs, fluffy dressing and
fetching" manners. The result
of such marriages are sometimes
satisfactory; but not often so.
There are many men-good,
honest, large hearted men, whom
any women might be proud to call
her husband who often find it
difficult to secure a wife, much as
they might wish to marry. For
some reason they do not attract
the other sex, and, like the I'M
mated woman, though in a greater
degree, they devote themselves to
business interests and live their
lives alone. To many others,
marriage has become such a "shift-
ing sand" affair that they are
afraid to trust, themselves to it
the men, because SO many women
are frivolous, ignorant and care.

MENTAL ACTIVITY AND LONGEVITY

Nothing else reacts 30 favorably
upon the various functions of the
body as strong and vigorous men
tai exercise. Nothing else will
take the place of clear, forcible
thinking. It is perpetual tonic.
The moment there is chaos in the
mental kingdom, there is anarchy
in the physical kingdom.
II is well-known that great
thinkers are longer lived, as a
rule, than Indifferent thinkers.
A celebrated English physician
SAYS, to attain long life, the
brain must always be active when
not asleep, aud he lays great stress
upon the necessity of everybody
having q hobby outside of the vo-
cation which gives him living;
a hobby in which he will take a
delight, and which will exercise
pleasantly, agreeably, and not in
a hard, strenuous way, his mental
faculties. Activity means life;
inaction, death. Nothing will de-
stroy itself quicker than an idle
brain. If there is anything in
this world to be pitied, it is the
one who thinks he has Ii nothing to
do; no motive to impel him out of
himself; no ambition which will
exercise his brains, or his inge-
nuity, and call out his resource
fulness, or exercise his energies
