WOMAN ARRESTED
For Theft of Diamond From Waterbury Woman Over Six Months Ago.

Hartford, Oct 9.-A woman who
 said her name was Mrs Belle Hooker,
 but who is Mrs Noel D. Thomas of 225
 High street, was arrested yesterday
 morning on a warrant charging her
 with the theft six months ago of a
 diamond and doublet ring belonging
 to Mrs o. A. Valentine of Waterbury.
 Late yesterday afternoon Mrs Thom-
 as was released on bonds of $500 fur
 nished by William H. Richards of the | firm of H. l.. Handy & Co, in whose
 service Mir Thomas is employed as
 clerk. She will appear in court this
 morning to answer the charge.
 Last March Mrs Valentine was vis-
 iting at the home of Eli Daigneau,
 where Mrs Thomas lives. and about the middle of the day she went into the bathroom on the second floor to wash her hands. putting the ring on the marble lavatory. Not until two hours later did she miss 1t, and then 1t was not in the bathroom. Inquiry was instituted among the members of the household and the roomers, and 1t Is alleged that during the interval that elapsed between the time Mrs Valentine left the bathroom and the time she discovered her loss, Mrs Thomas was the only person on the second floor of the house. Three times during the two hours, it is, said. she came down from the third floor to the first floor. This fact aroused suspicion in the minds of the people in the house, but as Mrs Thomas left very soon after 1t was impossible in the nasty search that followed to determine whether she had the ring.
 Detective Sergeant Dietrich inves- tigated the case and persons in the house kept careful watch on the sus- pected woman to see if she gave any indication of having taken thes ring. but for some reason she did not wear it. Some two months ago. Mir Daig- neau's daughter. who Is a singer in the De Wolf Hopper Opera company. was visiting with her parents. and to her Mrs Thomas displayed the dia- mond which she said was a present from her father When surprise was that Mrs Thomas possessed the stone she said she had already told Mr Daixneau that she had 1t. but the latter denied that he had been told. or that he had any knowledge O. the ring whatever.
 Mrs Valentine. who was then in New York. vas sent for to identify the Stone. which Is one-karat yell low diamond cut in the old fashioned style When Mrs Valentine arrived in Hartford. however. Mrs Thomas was no longer wearing the ring.
 Two weeks ago Mrs Thomas again ! wore the ring. this time stating that ! when she received it from her father | it vas broken and she had had ft re- l set- Inquiries at the jevelry store where she said repairs had been made i iiscloeex that the diamond had be<r brought by Mrs Thonzs unset- not ct | h ring.

The animals. were in the stables of Liyeryman Shepherd on South Main street. who said they were left in his barn this morning by a couple of strangers They had not been In the stables long when word was sent to the hu- mane agent Agent Pease lost no time in getting to the barn to get a look at the horses. and no sooner had he given them an eye then he de- cided to end their misery. They were terrible looking nags and only they showed a little life they might have passed as skeletons. The owners of the coTpses have not as yet appeared fo claim damages.

Monument to Founder of the Clan Tn

 Richest Man-Raid on Apples and
 Pears Grown on Ancestral Farm.
 The Rockefeller Family association re- gently journeyed to Bennington, N. J., for its annual meeting and to unveil a monument to one of the first two mem- bers of the clan to reach America, and 1t came back, bound to all parts of the Union via New York, eating small pears and little apples picked from trees said to have been planted by old Johann Peter Rockefeller himself, says the New York World.
 When Johann Peter took up the little farm at Larison's Corner and set out the pear trees in 1730 the pears were large and luscious. Since then the va riety has been growing smaller and smaller, but as Aunt Catherine Abrams. swho is more than eighty, said, they have been getting sweeter and sweeter. till now they melt in your mouth"
 The lines of the original farm have been plotted out, the site of the old house Is tangled with the running blackberry and goldenrod, but the third and fourth generations of old Johann Peters kith and kin munched apples and pears from the place and got more fun out of them than they did in admiring the monument that their rich cousin. John D.. hcs erected to the memory of his Dutch ancestor.
 The night preceding they had turned sober old Remington into a gay place by holding a banquet and dance in the opera house and nlling every hotel in town to overnoving They were out with the birds early the next morning. tramping about the village. and by 10 o'clock had started in teams for the little cemetery to dedicate the monu- ment- Everybody went along. and the farmers gaped as the teams swept past their fields of rusfling cornsfalks. the younger folks singing: Were here because. we're here beczuse.

 Rufus ?. Jennings, chairman of the executive committee of the California promotion committee, who Is in New York aiding In the establishment of m eastern branch of that body. said re- gently. according to the New York Times, that San Francisco Is going to have an international exposition ln 1913.
 'The exposition. which will be called the Pacific Ocean exposition. will be In celebration of the discovery of the Pa- cihc by Balboa" said Mfr. Jennings. ..Tt will also celebrate the opening of the Panama canal. which we expect will be ready by that time. Congress will be asked to appropriate $5.0O0.00O on condition that an equal sum Is rais- cd in California.
 The Idea of m exposition was first suggested by R. B. Hale. dry goods manufacturer of San Francisco, In Q speech before the members of the Cali- fornia promotion committee at dinner in June. 1904. Since that time wc have been quietly at work gathering statis- tics on fairs and expositions that have been held in the past. Our Idea is to profit by the errors and successes of these exposltions.
 "rn the rehabIlItatic2 of San Francis- co we are keeping Iiis exposition in mind. It Is influencing our judgment in certain matters concerning the re- building of,the city. Our chief concern in the rehabilitation at this time e util- ity. At present we arc planning to make all our streets wide. Van Ness avenue Is wide. and 1t stopped the Ire. We are going to makc the strccts of the new city wide for this reason. And then VIC are trying to devise some sys- tenn of salt water mains It was dis- dressing to see the city destroyed by fire while water lay all around it

 The applause was as great as when on the night before Mfr. Lewis in his toast to tour rich relatives" called at tention to the fact that the Rockefel- Ter women had never used their wealth to edge into society or to purchase no account lords and counts. After prayer by the Rev. J. A. Black the party looked through the little. old church near the graveyard and started back.
 Reaching the farm, q descent was made on the gnarled old pear and ap- pie trees of their ancestor. but not till II. E. Rockefeller of Springfield, Mass, had got permission and paid cent for cent for the fruit. Everybody had a pocketful of them wh1 they got back to the village. and the cores were scat tered aloiS the railway track all the way to Jersey City.
 Not only was their rich relative. John D.. hardly spoken of during the day, but there was a distinct feeling in the atmosphere that the association did not exist on his account and that he was not missed any more than any other member who could not be present.
 We are not very wealthy" said one member, but we are most of us com fortnbly well off. and there are some here whose little fortunes amount to over hundred thousand or SO. We are proud of John D. because he Is . Rockefeller and successful, but not be cause of his money. He is losing a good time today. that's all"
 The Bennington folks gathered at the station to see the family ofY in their special car and waved handkerchiefs as the young men and girls stood on the platform singing:
