parently unconscious condition, while the furni-
ture strewn about in disorder.
The police were called, and on going through
the house found things topsy turvy in Miss
GaTnett's room. 1t looked like a plain case of
robbery. though all that missing was $15
from Miss Garnetts bureau drawer.

plausible story of a fierce encounter with a
burglar who, the girl said had grappled with
her the stairs. dragged her all over the paror,
upsetting the furniture, and finally escaped
through window. badly dilapitated hat.

found in the hall.
Much the surprise of the police, however.
when a Hoboken halter yesterday identified the
housemaid Confronted with this story the girl
broke dowr. and admitted that she had planned
the burglary to get money to go on the stage.
She got only $15 and this she said she threw out
of the window, fearing detection The money
was found on the lawn. end the housemaid was
put on probation.

Andre1c Carnegie Forecloses Mort
gage on a WMte Elephant,

There are few men who can lose title to a
real estate parcel valued at many thousands Of
dollars and still smile Andrew Carnegie was
able yesterday to show to the realty operators
investors and brokers Of Manhattan Island that
one Of these small number of men lives in this
city His name is Curry, but he is better known
as Judge Curry. for he was formerly a judge.
He purchased some years ago the vacant plot
Nos. % and 27 East 91st street. oil by 1908
feet. It is in the rear of the Sloane house, and
across the street from Mr. Carnegie's house OF
course. when he bought the plot he thought it
would prove a good speculative property. He
borrowed 100000 from Mr.. Carnegie the
property.
The plot yesterday sold at foreclosure by
Herbert A. Sherman at the Real Estate Ex-
change Salesrooms, No. II and 16 Vesey street.
The amount due was $1G1, ,S3I 66, together with
81 3S9 30 for taxes etc. Mr.. Carnegie got the
property for $4,000. Before offering the parcel
Mr.. Sherman, the auCtioneer said that the term
Of the mortgage expired two years ago. Mr. Car
negie had refrained however. from beginning
foreclosure proceedings until he learned that the
owner would be unable meet the interest due
on the mortgage Among the bidders at the sale
were several well known operators. Title to the
marcel is held by Daniel Gaffney. He was only a
dummy owner. Ex-Judge Curry, the real owner,
visited Mr.. Shernans office after the sale. THE
4udge" said Mr. Sherman. said that the prop
artv had been only bad investment for him.
o,d that he was glad Mr. Carnegie had bought
:. He called at this Office to say that he deeply

Thomas Ball Finishes Canuas of
Christ BEGUN 30 Years .4go.

Montclair. n. J., Nov. 21-Thomas Ball, the
sculptor and painter who lives at No. 1O5 Upper
Mountain avenue, has just completed a painting
of Christ which he began ffty-three years ago
The picture, which covers a canvas ~ by 51a
feet, depicts Christ Gliding Martha" told
in the Gospel of ST. Luke
Christ is pictured with flowing locks. full
beard and a halo of light about His head. Mary
sits al His right, with her eyes fixed His face
Her sister Martha stands at the left of Christ
with her head slightly turned away. The back
ground is black. but a shaft OF sunlight enters
through open door. while beyond the hills
and dales OF Palestine seen.
MI Ball began the picture in Boston fifty
three years ago. when he thirty-four years
old. but has been unable to finish it until
because his work as a sculptor took up all his
time.
Mr.. Ball moulded the equestrian statue of
Washington IN the Public Garden at Boston, the
statues of Josiah Quincy, Charles Sumner and
John A Andrews; the emancipation group in
Boston. showing Lincoln and the slave and the
statue of Daniel Webster in Central Park, New
York. Mr.. Ball at the age of eighty-seven, is
wonderfully well preserved, and is about his
studio every day.

Cbeered Ike a successful football hero. the
sashy black gelding Forest King bore off the
coveted Waldorf Astoria Cup at the Horse Show
az Madison Square Garden last night for
Judge William H. Moore. Of Chicago, giving him
that trophy for all time. Out Of the twenty
horses which had been entered to fight with him
for the glory Of the cup. only eight appeared in
the lists against him. Judge Moore drove his
own horse.

BRYCE FOR AMBASSADOR
Rumor That He Viii Be appointed
to Washington Post.

London. Nov. 21.-A rumor was current in the
lobby Of the House of Commons tonight that
James Bryce, the author of The American Com
monwealth" and Chief Secretary for Ire
land. is likely to be selected to fill the vacant
ambassadorship at Washington. No confirma-
ton of this rumor can be obtained, and it is be-
Neved the government has not yet decided the
question.
This suggestion. however. falls in with the
growing feeling in high quarters here that the
Washington embassy should be filed by a man
OF exceptional weight. who possesses, in addi-
ton to political influence, a sympathetic under
standing of the American people and American
affairs, such a man. in fact, as the United States
for years past has sent to fill the post of am
bassador in London 1t is felt that Mr. Bryce,
as a statesman and litterateur Of high distinction.
is eminently fitted to meet these requirements

KAISER WILHELM DER CROSSE IN COLLISION.
SHE AND THE ORINOCO BOTH BADLY DAMAGED-
4 NINE MEMBERS OF CREWS REPORTED LOST.

Cherbourg, Nov. 21.-A dispatch re-
ceived here reports that the North Ger
man Lloyd steamer Kaiser Wilhelm der
Crosse, which left Southampton and
Cherbourg to-day for New York, has been
in collision with the Royal Mail steamer
Orinoco. Both vessels were severely
damaged.
The accident to the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse
reported from France, is not her first. On June
80, 1900, the North German Lloyd COmpany's
pier at Hoboken caught fire and wrecked three
ships Of the line. The Kaiser Wilhelm, the arg
est and finest of the fleet was dragged out OF
the dock and saved from serious injury The
Sale. the Bremen and the Main were destroyed
About three hundred lives were lost in this fire
The total property loss amounted to $4,000 900
Beside the persons who were killed, one hundred
and fifty were more less seriously injured
When it was seen that these steamers were
doomed to destruction the company's employees
devoted their efforts TO saving the Kaiser VIII
helm. She was then the largest and by far OF
the most valuable of the fleet. She caught fire
forward on her starboard side. 1t was put out
by the crew before it made much headway
