RELICS OF TWO GREAT
QUEENS OF ENGLAND.

The curiously interesting personal
relics of Queen Mary and Queen Eliza
beth shown with the Royal School of
Art Needlework exhibition at the New
Gallery have not attracted the atten
ton they deserve. They are not mem
toned in the catalogue, and not too
conspicuously labeled. so that the cases
in which they are contained are passed
unnoticed by many visitors. All belong
to Earl Brownlow, the owner of Ash
ridge, where the E~lizabethan relics
have been treasured since they were
left there by Elizabeth herself at the
time of Sir Thomas Wyatt's rebellion.
In that rebellion Elizabeth, then only
a princess, was accused of completely.
She was arrested at Ashbridge, where
she was then staying, and carried off
to London in such haste that she left
behind her the square-toed shoes of silk
and brocade, the mirrors, writing case,
brushes and other articles that are now
at the New Gallery. The brushes
whether for hair or clothes it is inn
possible to say-are in shape remark
ably like the military hair brushes of
today. The bristles are long and rather
coarse, and the backs covered, some
with crimson velvet and some with
brocade. The pathetic little pieces of
baby linen in the adjoining case, yell
lowed by time, but otherwise in perfect
condition, were made by Princess Eliza
beth for her sister, when, in 1855, Queen
Mary had confident hopes of an heir

100000 GAS
REBATE TIED Up
BY TRUST MOVE
New York Company Asks Re-
hearing of Case Which Acts
as a Stay of Proceedings.

NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-That the Con-
solidated Gas Company intends to do
all possible to keep it's grip on the So
600, 900 wrung from gas consumers by
charging an Illegal rate was apparent
today. 1t is figured that by the time
the case is finally disposed of the COM
pany will have lost $15,0 900, 900.
A petition wa filed in the Supreme
Court, Washington, yesterday, asking
for a rehearing of the case decided
against it. This ~rehearing petition was
filed almost on the eve of the receipt
of the courts mandate ordering the dis
tribution Of the millions in rebates. and
whatever the action of the court may
be the petition will act as a stay and
will again prevent the consumer from
receiving from the trust the difference
between the dollar and S0-cent rate he
has been paying for over a year.
This latest move on the part of the
trust not only indicates that it is ex-
tremely hard pressed. but also that il
views with alarm a years test under
the S0-cent law. When h Supreme
Court handed down its decision, upset
ting that of the Circuit Court, it held
that the Consolidated was entitled TO
carr 6 per cent. on the valuation of its
property, and in effect suggested that
the law be given a fair trial, with the
view of a~scertaining whether this per-
centage could be earned while supply
ing gas at so cents per thousand cubic
feet

George Gasser, q years old, who gives

by Detectives Meehan and Donovan.
Gasser is on parole from the Railway
Reformatory, where he was sent three
years ago from this city, after being
implicated in several b%urglaries. Six
weeks ago Gasser was allowed his
parole, and was sent to the store of
Scion Mcdonald. a New York jeweler,
whose country home is neal Railway.
Gasser drove his employers team to
and from the depot, and en- the night Of
December % last Mrs. Mcdonald in
structed Gasser to bring her husbands
raincoat to the train. In the coat was
a loaded revolver, and Gasser is charged
with stealing this an dthe coat, which
he hid from his employer until he had
him back home.
Once there. Gasser left his employer
with the garment and weapon. Mr.. Nc
Donald notified Superintendent Moore,
of the reformatory, and a general alarm
was sent out.
1t was known that Gasser had friends
in this city. and Captain Carroll was
asked to arrest him. Meehan and Dono-
van were assigned to the job, and,
through a ruse worked by them, Gasser
was induced to visit a house in Little
ton avenue, where he was arrested.
He admitted the stealing, but said
there was no truth in the story that he
held up his employer with the fatter's
own gun.

Unexpected Check for 500.

Frank Sullivan, the man who found
the 81, 900 worth of diamonds and jew
elry, which were owned by an East
Orange woman, and who rewarded him
for his honesty, received a check today
for 500 from a friend who had read
of the find and restoration.
The letter accompanying the check
stated that the writer was glad TO
know that his friend was as honest as
ever and then went on to say that as
Mr.. Sullivan was one of the locked-out
hatters he might be in eed of funds
and therefore sent him a check for part
of the money that Sullivan had loaned
him several years ago.
Mr.. Sullivan, in speaking about the
check, said; This is like finding money,
for while 1 always felt that the money
loaned would be paid back to me some
time, yet it could not come at a better
time or when 1 need it more"

NINE YEAR GIRL
SAVES LIFE Of
HER PLAY MATE
Paterson Child Prevents Mamie
Lindsay from Drowning
Under Ice.

PATERSON, Jan. 27.-Little Ellen
Van Ripper, daughter of Marinus Van
Ripper, of 252 West Twenty sixth street,
proved herself a heroine yesterday by
saving her schoolmate, Margaret Bow
er, from a watery grave In the canal
at the West Twenty-seyenth street
bridge.
Ellen is 8 years old, and was on her
way home from School No. Z with
Mamie Lindsay and Margaret Bower
shortly after 8 o'clock. When the three
reached the canal they saw that it was
frozen over and the Lindsay girl took a
slide across the ice. She got across sue
cessfully and was followed by Margaret
Bower, but when the latter had gotten
about two-thirds over the Ice gave
way beneath her and she sank into the
water up to her arms. The Van Ripper
girl saw Margaret's ~predicament and
ran out to her, grasped her by one hand
m pulled as hard as she could. AT the
same instant someone took hold of
Margaret's other hand and pulled in
the opposite direction. The result was
that Ellen also went through the ice,
almost up to her waist, and then it was
two children.
Employees of the Paterson Stone
Crushing Company were on hand in a
moment and rescued both girls, who
then scampered off home and told the
story of their hairbreadth escapes to
their parents.
