TO
FIND JEWELS
1hosa of Miss SchIess Re.
turnsd--N Explains.

The jewels, which Miss Anna
Schloss, of Brooklyn, lost a few .,ays
ago at Bayard's Beach, were return
ed last night to the young lady. AS
told in Mondays edition of the
NEWS, Miss Schloss left a valuable
locket and bracelet at the office of
the beach, while in bathing, return
ing to find that both had mysteri-
ously disappeared. Yesterday after
80 Mr.. Bayard received the jewels
by mail, with an 1-~Ienod ovDIana
tory note.
1t seems that a man had sent his
son to the beach with a few pennies
to buy candies for himself. The boy
saw what he thought was a grab
bag" behind the counter, and picked
it up, handing a penny to the girl in
charge. When he brought 1t nome
and showed 1t to his father, they
were greatly surprised In opening
the envelope, to find a locket and
bracelet within. Thinking 1t but
some cheap jewelry, which his son
had won as a prize, the father
thought nothing more Of it. Seeing
the article in Mondays EVENING
NEWS, the father at once realized
that the missing jewels were the
ones that his son had received In the
supposed grab bag" He at once
returned them, though who he may
be Is not known.
Miss Schloss was overjogei to re-
ceive the Jewels again, as a picture
of her dead mother was in the lGcket,
valuing that much higher than the
worth of the Jewels.

MAY RETAIN
SIDE LIGHTS
State Street Merchants Take
Up the Matter.

Plans were laid at last nights
special meeting of the State Street
Improvement Association to place
the street in a more prosperous con-
dition, improve the appearance of
the stores and sidewalks, establish
a systematic credit of advertising for
the merchants in general, and a COM
mittee appointed to investigate the
ACCESSIBILITY Of retaining the side
lights along the thoroughfare, which
so attractively set forth the Great
White Way" on it's initial appear
ance on July 4.
While it is the associations in
t%ention to secure rates on the reten-
ton of the "side lights" as they are
called, many members expressed
themselves last night as being
against the improvement, owing to
the high individual cost. These
members feel hat they are shoulder
ing about all they care to handle,
and the cost Of the $500 feet of
lights burning every night would be
enormous. The construction COM
mittee, which arranged the white
way" was retained to communicate
with the Public Service regarding
this added attraction. The members
are: Herman Philo, B. Streiff, Harry
PETE and Nathan Jacobsen.
The committee named on the i'm
proving of the street and general
appearance of the stores is composed
of the following: Emil Sameth,
Richard A. Bolger, and William
Levy. They will investigate condi-
lions and report at the next meeting
Of the association.
Herman Philo, Harry PETE, B.
Streiff and Max Goldberger were ap-
pointed a committee to establish a
system of systematic advertising for
the merchants along the street, so
that their advertisements will appear
in the same section Of the paper.
The white Way Edition." issued
by the EVENING NEWS on July 8,
appealed to the State street mer-
chants, and they are now Of the opin-
Ion that advertising Of this character
will materially increase their bust
ness. This committee will also re-
port at the next meeting of the as
ISOLATION.
Hereafter the association will meet
on the first and third Thursday of
every month, as regular meeting
nights. President Thomas F. Burke
was absent last night, and Secretary
Thomas Brown presided. Herman
Phflo acted as secretary pro tenn.
The next meeting will be held Thurs
day night, July 20.

FIRE t~XTIkCUlSHER Is
GIVEN DEMONSTRATION

The Keystone Company, Of this
city, manufacturers of fire extin-
guishers, gave a demonstration Of its
product last night in the ear of the
grammar school before the members
of the Board of Education. At a re-
cent special meeting Of the board
the privilege to give a demonstration
was voted to the Keystone Company,
but no action, favorable or other
wise, was taken last night after the
successful trials.
Boxes filed with inflammable ma
teriai were touched off and when
the blaze was at its height the eX-
tinguisher was called into service
and quickly performed its duty. The
machine is built along the same lines
as other extinguishers, only smaller
in size and less costly. The smallest
and weakest person can handle the
instrument with ease. 1t throws a
good sized stream, the demonstra-
tors stated, for ninety seconds. The
solution used corresponds with the
mixture in larger machines. A. P.
Kennedy represented the company
last night, while his son. Donald, and
John Powers, conducted the demon
stration.
