STORY OF A PEARL.
Found, Lost and Found Again and
Lawsuit May Result.

Jersey City, N. j., May 17.-Much
stranger than fiction is the story of a
pearl that was found and lost and
found again by John Williams of this
city.
Williams is an oyster dealer. In an
oyster he found large, oval-shaped
pearl with a peculiar little red spot in
one end. It's value was estimated to
be about 5000. A week later he went
to visit his father at the old home in
Weston. He lost the pearl In the
yard.
Last night Williams entered the
butchershop of Henry Liefer. He or
dered two chickens and as the butch
err dressed them a large pearl fell out
on the block. Williams at a glance
recognized the jewel he had lost in
Maryland. Liefer secuted the idea
and refused to give it up. When the
crate in which the chickens had been
shipped was brought up it bore the
name and address of Williams faith
er in Weston, Nd
Liefer claims that as Williams had
not yet paid for the chickens. the
pearl is his property. Williams de-
clares that he will go to law with the
question unless the butcher restores
the pearl to him.

HoRsEFLEsH FOR FOOD.
German People Shown that Tender
HorsefIesh is Good Diet.

Berlin, May 17.-The recently form
ed German society for the Protection
of Horses seems, to be something of
misnomer. Its chairman, Major
General Zobel, announced at a public
meeting held at the Berlin town hall.
that the chief object of the society
was to remove the existing prejudice
against the consumption of horsefesh.
Kill 'em and eat EN-" he advocated
in fact.y 1t was further announced
that horsehesh supper would be
given shortly, to which all persons in
terested in the movement, were cor
daily invited. The delicate subject
of sausages was not touched upon by
the gallant general but the hippic
feast, he said, would show conclus-
lively that suitably prepared flesh of
properly treated, not overworked
horses, made very wholesome and
succulent remove" The removal of
the prejudice. in this case, involves
the removal of the horse, too There
have been, for many years, butcher
shops In various cities of Germany
that made a speciality of horseflesh,
but the number of people who, know
ingly consumed horsefiesh has. here
tofore been quite small, It is hoped
by the example and agitation of this
new organization to convert the peo-
pie in general

Mrs. Bulge, Custodian.

Grand Forks, N. D., May 17.-Nfrs
Minnie l.. Bulge has been appointed
custodian of the new postoffice build
ing. The appointment comes from the
treasury department 1t is the GUS
tom to make appointments to this
position from treasury department Of
flcials, and as James Elton, deputy
revenue collector, Is the only repre-
sentative of that department here, the
appointment was rendered to him
some time ago. but owing to his being
out of the city so much of the time,
he declined, and following the usual
custom the postmaster was appoint
ed, and Mrs. Bulge will have charge
of the entire building. There is but
little to be done in the big building,
beyond some finishing touches, and
the postoffice will probably be moved
to it's new location on May 80, which
is d holiday giving the postoffice
force sufficient time to move to the
new location without delaying busi-
ness In the least.
The entire first floor of the building
will be occupied by the postoffice, and
finer quarters could hardly be imagin-
ed There will be sufficient room fol-
the clerks and other employees, and II
will be a great change from the
cramped quarters that have been oc-
cupied for number of years.
