after the death of Prince Rudolph
contracted a morganatic marriage
with the Countess Choteh, and so lost
the right of transmitting the success

II is persIstently rumored that at
least two coteries of eastern capital
lists have written to Paducah for In
formation with the view Of building
an lnterurban line out of Paducah.
This idea has been agitated often,
but so far with no material develop
men.s. The concerns interested In
the latest projects are amply backed
by capital and only seek assurance
that the investment will be safe be-
fore proceeding.
II is probable that the Stone G.
Webster company will seek TO extend
its lines outside Paducah as soon as
the local system Is completely repair
cd. Just at present and for the next
twelve months this company will d.
rect al its attention TO bringing the
Paducah city service to first-class con
dnion. II is not likely that this

gagged in the business OF extending In

ROYAL LOOT
NEW YORK DETECTIVES ARE
SECURING TOWN FOR
Gems That Rank Among Worlds Fa-
nous Perfect stones In Collec-
ton stolen.

New York, July 10 The Herald
says: Gems of size and value that
make their description read like a
list of loot of a royal treasure have
been stolen and the detectives Of po-
lice headquarters are ralxing the city
high and low seeking to find a trace
of them. II has been many years
since the police have had on hand a
search for scores of diamonds, most
of them as large as a pigeons egg,
and so numerous that an estimate of
value at $4,000 Is treated with
scorn as wholly inadequate.
1t is understood that the jewels
we're stolen from a woman very well
known in New York society. Most
magnificent of the pieces Of jewelry
which are included in the stolen
treasure is a stomacher, a girdle of
fire. in which only the finest dia-
monds are set. They range in size up
to six karats.
In addition to the stomacher
there are 25 other articles of dia-
mond jewelry in the list of missing
gems. These are also set with very
large and very fine stones. Four kar-
ats are about the smallest of those
set as solitaires, and other stones run
up to six karats and larger.
