Dying Woman Gave Necklace to
Friend Who Restores II.

Newark, N. IA gold necklace and
cross that were lost q years ago
were returned to Mrs. Antoine Fuerst
of Waverley avenue and Kipp street
a few days ago by woman whose
name Mrs. Fuerst doesn't know. The
explanation the stranger offered was
that the necklace was given to her II
years ago by friend on her deathbed.
Mrs. Fuerst is trying to find out who
had the necklace all these years.
Mrs. Fuerst lived in Prince street
when she lost the necklace. One aft
ernoon in 1881 she went to nearby
store wearing the necklace, and when
she returned home 1t was gone A
search was made, but nothing was
ever seen or heard of It.
The woman who returned the neck
lace, though she refused to tell her
name or the name of the woman who
gave it to her, explained to Mrs.
Fuerst that short time ago, while
she was placing flowers on the grave
Of the woman who gave her the neck
lace, she spoke to grave digger about
1t and the grave digger advised her to
return 1t. She cOgitated his advice for
several days before she got up courage
to follow it.

about 500 bats in the house, and that
their eviction presented no dihictil-

fumigate the house thoroughly, and
the bats would leave by the holes left
open BY closing the remaining holes
and keeping them closed the bat ques-
