HIDING CROWN JEWELS.
The Westminster Gazette says it has
received information from an authentic
source that within the past few days
the bulk of the crown jewels of Moroc-
co and much of the emperor's personal
jewelry have been secretly removed
from Morocco and deposited safely in
London. These valuables which are
estimated by the Moroccan authorities
to be worth $5,00O,00O, were ostensibly
brought over for the purpose of raising
sum approximating that figure, but
the famous bank near Charing Cross,
in whose vaults they are now deposited,
was only disposed to advance a sum of
81, 100000 upon them.
Under these circumstances it is fully
anticipated that a second consignment
will be sent from the sultan's accumu-
lation of precious stones. Various sto-
ries are afioat in official quarters as to
the real purpose of the sultan in send
ing these valuables to England. In
some quarters he is thought to be pre-
pairing for abdication, forced or willing,
or is seeking precautions against OBJ
viously possible happenings in Morocco.
ON TICKET OF LEAVE.
An American gentleman was walking
in Hamstead road the other day with
his wife, an English lady, when a de-
tective touched her on the shoulder
and inquired. Are you not Mrs.
Bates?" She replied that she was Mrs.
Larrimore, and the gentleman was her
husband She confessed, however, that
her former name was Bates, and that
she was a convict released on ticket
of leave, and had failed to notify her
change of address as required by the
terms of her license. The husband was
astounded: it was the first he had
heard of it.
At the police court Mrs. Larrimore
admitted the offense, but explained that
she had left England Immediately after
her release five years ago, had gone to
America, and married Mr.. Larrimore,
who knew nothing of her past until the
detective revealed it. Furthermore she
had only come to England to see her
son by her former marriage. and was
returning in fortnight. The magis-
trate seemed to think that the case was
a hard one. and only sentenced her to |
one days Imprisonment.
There seems to be no doubt, unfor-
that the King of Spain is
with the lung trouble that |
carried off his father. On this account
he lives as much in the open air as
possible. but his doctors are strongly /
against his craze for motoring, which |
is apt to aggravate the disease, He
plays golf, hunts, and now has taken
to dfabolo, showing considerable pro-
fciency in these pastimes, not an I'M
thing with Ieft-handed per-
son, as he is.
