odd jobs for the singer. She worked
for Miss Van Studdiford onJunes. When

cost SIS, a hat smothered in widowed
plumes. and there were an opera cloak
and a diamond ring that had flfty-three
diamonds in it. Tha. ring was worth
$l,I0O, and Miss Van Studdiford was
amazed when she learned yesterday
that pawnbroker had loaned only 500
on it.
Besides, Miss Van Studdiford couldn't
find either one Of her two gold watches,
one set with diamonds and attached
to cross that had belonged to her
mother, two lockets. ring with dia-
mond and two pears, two diamond hat
pins and ever 80 many other things.
Miss Van Studdiford went right down
to Janitor Brown. but he said Melissa
had gone away.
1t happened that Melissa sent note
to another woman telling her that she
was going to Saratoga and asking her
to hook in bureau drawer for the pawn
ticket for the 81 100 ring In that way
the police found out where Melissa was.
They got her yesterday afternoon at the
West Twenty-third street ferry. They
found the diamond hat pins in her hat.

in the West Side court to-day as COM
plainant against two men for whom

FOR METROPOLITAN MUSEUM.
A Masterpiece Of spanish Sculpture OF
the FIFTEENTH Century.

Special Cable Despatch TO TIRE SUN.
PARIS, June i8.-Mr. j. Pierpont Nor
gan has purchased here what is probably
the finest example extant and outside Of
Spain OF the Gothic art OF that country in
the fifteenth century. 1t is retable or
altar piece in alsbaster. composed OF five
superb reliefs set in recesses Of exquisite
architectural motive and surmounted by
three scutcheons, of which one bears In
relief the attributes or insignia OF the
Passion OF Christ. and the others the
armorial distinctions Of the celebrated
Archbishop d. Dalmacio de Muir Of Sara
gossa u4s1-1458).
1t is the most important piece OF Cata-
Ian sculpture that has ever left Spain,
and one OF the most beautiful examples
of the minging Of Gothic or Flemish
execution with Arabic or Moresque in
fiuence. The Metropolitan Museum Of
Art, for which this great work is destined,
will be the envy OF every museum and
public collection in the whole OF Europe.
Not one possesses like treasure, and
nothing in Spain surpasses 1t. not even
the great relief Of the high altar OF the
Cathedral OF Tarragona.

The Washington correspondent Of the
New York Globe, which paper is Re
publican and stand-pat, has discov-
cred that Senator smoot OF Utah is an
intellectual giant and that he knows
more about the tariff than any of his
so-called progressive brethren of the

drawn by the correspondent IS not par
ticularly flattering. il is decidedly in
teresting and sure TO be appreciated
by the friends and supporters of the
newly-discovered statesman. Here is
the way the picture is touched up in
the opening paragraph
He has long. sad face, like a
horse. His mouth folds down at the
ends as though he were a smitten saint.
He has a general aroma of crushed

an expression which should have been
explained. He says:

openly. the nasty things that were told

the floor. He kept his eyes cast down.
a sheep by his SIDE would have seemed
a paragon OF courage"
The people of Utah will naturally be
interested in the acknowledgment by
an authoritative Republican source
that Smoot was seated through a po-
litical bargain and considerable
number Of them would like to know the
nature of the bargain and with whom
il was made; whether it was carried
out or not and II il was. the methods
