JEwELRY SUSPECT HELD.
Negro Porter Arrested in New York.
Gems Still MISSING.

NEW YORK, December 19-Richard
Gordon, negro porter at the branch Of
flee of the United States Express Com
pany, from whom a package containing
$4,000 worth of diamonds disappeared
last Saturday night. was arrested last
night on a charge of being a suspicious
person. Joseph Mayhem, the agent of the
company, who is the complainant against
Gordon, stated that the negro was in the
room when the package containing the
diamonds was called off, and that he rode
on the wagon from which the diamonds
disappeared. Gordon denied that he rode
on the wagon. No trace OF the diamonds,
which had been expressed to Washington
when they disappeared. has been discov-
cred.
Gordon was employed in the branch of
flee, and he was, so the detectives say. in
position to overhear any remark that
might be made in regard to the value of
the package. Apparently the only ground
on which the detectives arrested Gordon
was the contradictory statements made
by him and the drivers he per.
1t is likely that there will be legal
miX-up before the case is settled. Off
GERS OF the company contend that the jew
elry firm of Alfred II. Smith * Co., which
owned the jewels, cannot poss. bly, hold
them for more than 81 900, which was the
value declared by the firm, and 1t is
DOUBTFUL. in view of the amendment to the
inters tate commerce Jaw, requiring that
the value be correctly stated, If the COM
pany can be he d for that amount.
The jewelry, the owners say, was fully
insured by London company. 1t was
said yesterday that the jewels were TO
have been used Tor display by the firms
representative, Mr.. Cheney, in Washing
ton.
Following is a description of the missing
jewels, as given out in New York: Emer-
aid and diamond brooch, $13 800: fancy

emerald pendant, s495; p drl necklace and

Congress should pass a law con-
polling packers tn print the date Of
the canning on the labels of all camel
goods sold by them.
The fact that the Beef Trust Tough,
proposed law to this effect, last year
only goes to emphasize the necessity
that exists for one.
According to all accounts the canned
goods Of the Beef Trust are bad enough
when comparatively new, without un
loading on the public canned goods that
have been years In warehouse.
More than that, the government
should compel the packers to pay al
the expenses OF meat inspection.

You will see from the above figures
that the average price paid by the
Beef Trust Is about cents a pound.
But do the people who have to pay
exorbitant prices for food get good
food?
Let us look at some of the records
Of tho Chicago Health Department for
reply:
The following from the Chicago
Health Department Bulletin OF Octo-
Der %, 1905, speaks for itself:
The city inspectors at the Union
Stock Yards condemned "FIVE CAT

OF TUBERCULOSIS TRIMMED OUT,
AFTER HAVING BEEN PASSED BY
THE GOVERNMENT INSPECTORS"
'"They also condemned and destroyed

Overtaken by Retribution.

William H. Berry, state treasurer of Pennsylvania, was talking in Har- risburg about graft
 "Grafters seem to thrive at first" he said, but retribution overtakes them in the end. It is like the two newsboys and the had half-dollar.
 Two neWsboys had a bad half-dOl- lar and after discussing for some time the best way to get rid of it they de- cided to try to pass it off on a theater.
 So they took their places on a cold night in the long line before the gal lery door of a popular theater and the first one held the bad coin in his hand. It was their idea that in the hurry and confusion the ticket seller wouldn't take time to examine the money hand ed to him.
 And they were right. When the first boy reached the box office the man accepted the half-dOllar without question and in return handed out a ticket and quarter change.
 The second boy, grinning with joy, then handed forth a dollar. for his own ticket He got the bad half-dol- lar and a good quarter in change"

WHAT SHE WOULD SAY.
Young Teacher Evidently Had Her
 Opinion of the Principal.

A certain young teacher in one of the schools in Springfield, Mass, was recently more or less annoyed by the attentions of one of the masculine sex who holds a position of principal in the same school. There was in this young woman's room a pupil who was very dull and stupid.
 One day the gallant principal was asked by the admired one to give his permission to have the child removed 70 some other room, thinking possibly he might be benefited by the change. The suggestion did not meet with the principals immediate favor, and he remOnstrated.
 Suppose said he, you and I were married and we had a child that na- ture was not overland to, and we sent him to school. Suppose the teacher refused to have him in her room. say ing he was too stupid and dull to learn, what would you say?"
