Irish Pearls Coming Into Favor.
No longer need the price Of pearls de-
pend on the fisheries of Ceylon and
Panama, for Ireland is coming to the
fore in that line, says the New York
Press. The pearl beds near Come
mara are yielding up treasures. on
this side Of the ocean only few ad-
vanced votaries Of fashion possess Con-
nemara pearls, but In London they are
the rage. Lady Dudley, wife Of the
viceroy Of Ireland, sent a brooch Of
these pearls. imbedded in green enamel,
to Queen Alexandra for Christmas
gift. So great was the admiration they
excited that now the Connemara firms
have more orders than they can fill In
i've years. These pearls are not Of ex-
traordinary size, but are OF great pur-
ity. s

Accomplishments Of Police Horse Re-
tired From Active Service.
After fifteen years of faithful service
in the New York police department
Pompey, runaway expert and four foot
ed detective, was recently retired for
old age and disability, says the New
York Herald No municipal pension
awaited the horses declining years, but
the affection of Policeman Redmond 2.
Keresey Of the West One Hundred and
Fifty-second street station, his master
for all his long term of duty, has In
sured peaceful plenty for Pompey's old
age
When the horse was put up at auc-
ton in the policeNstation stable Kere-
sey was there with $500 to bid. Wealthy
friends of the policeman and the horse
also were present to make sure that the
former should not be outbidden, and
Keresey's fourteen year-old son, tear
full in his anxiety, begged every stran-
ger who cast an admiring glance at gal
liant old Pompey not to bid against his
father. Keresey got Pompey on bid
of $50 and will keep him at the Post
Road stock farm, an estate of sixty
acres in upper Rye, N. Y, which the
policeman leases and operates as a
boarding. place for horses
Gallantry is Pompey's only falling
He cannot resist pretty woman, and
| he has excellent taste. On or off duty
he will stop short if a really handsome
| girl appears, turn to watch her and
even follow If he gets any encourage
| ment
"Pompey makes fun of women too,"
said young Keresey recently, when
they are not pretty and they put on
| airs, and sometimes he makes pop
pretty mad. If Pompey sees woman
come along all dressed up and putting
on airs he will cock his head on one
side and walk just like she does"
AS detective Pompey is more feared
than two footed ones by small Harlem
boys. If windows have been broken or
old persons snowballed and Keresey
rounds up suspected youngsters he tells
Pompey to pick out the bad boys. Pom
pey looks them all over carefully and
| then lifts with his teeth the hats Of the
guilty.
Pompey knows so much about runa-
ways that he can tell when a horse is
going to bolt almost before the boiler
knows it himself He is too fine dis
ciplinarian to take the initiative, but
whirls around and points toward the
malefactor to notify Keresey that &C.
tive duty is before him.
Pompey will tell the time of day If
shown watch, striking with his fore
foot once for each hour and holding the
foot half raised for a half hour. He
will add, multiply or subtract any mod
crate number Of figures written large
and shown to him.
Pompey is nineteen years old.

AS. FALLlERES DREAMED.
story About Frances President, VIII,
Talks In His Sleep.

Story About Frances President, Who
Talks In His sleep.
Many stories are being told Of NJ.
Fallieres, recently elected to the pres
idency of the French republic and one
Of them is worth retelling, says a
Paris correspondent of the London
Globe. NJ. Fallieres is a corpulent,
heavily built man, and it seems that
after dinner he occasionally falls off
into postprandial nap. One evening
when the new president was dining at
the Elysee after heavy day at the
senate he found himself utterly unable
to keep his eyes open, and when the
manservant brought around M. Fal-
Heres coffee that worthy gentleman
was asleep. Fearing to wake him, the
domestic placed the coffee on the table
and retired. And NJ Fallieres slum-
bered on. And as he slept he dreamed
Whether the memory of the troublous
times of his youth was upon him or
whether the vision Of the German en-
peror with his legions crossing the
frontier disturbed his digestion we are
not told, but as he dreamed the vet
eran president of the senate was heard
to murmur the famous line of Victor
Hugo, "Give me powder and balls"
Then he lapsed into silence again, and
again he was heard in a deep, sleepy
voice calling for powder and balls.
At first NJ. Loubet, who was sitting
near his old friend, paid no attention,
and the guests continued their con-
versation. But when for the sixth time
NJ. Fallieres repeated his request,
''Give me powder and balls" the pres
ident Of the republic turned imploring-
" to his companions at the table and
in somewhat irritated voice exclaim-
ed, "For heavens sake, give him pow
der and balls" At this moment M. Fal-
Heres awoke, but as his fellow guests
discreetly pretended to have observed
nothing, he quietly helped himself to q
piece Of sugar and drank up his coffee.

The Champion Hand shaker.

To his many other distinctions Presl
dent Roosevelt has recently added that
Of being the champion hand shaker Of
the United States, and probably Of the
world, says Leslie's Weekly. At the
New Years reception Of 1906 in the
White House the president, in three
hours and fortyfour minutes, shook
hands with 9,052 persons, or at the rate
of forty per minute. This surpasses
even the high record he made last year,
and, as practice makes perfect, he will
doubtless do still better on Jan. 1. 1907.
