GEM SQUEEZED OUT OF RING
Friendly Handshake Costs Man
a S4OO Diamond.

When Henry Opperman. ot Baldwin.
Long Island. a passenger agent en-
ployed by the PENNSYLVANIA Railroad.
greeted with a handshake a friend Oh
the Anchor Line steamship pier yester-
day afternoon his hand was squeezed
so hard that his ring nearly cut into the
flesh. In adjusting the ring he noticed
that it lacked it's diamond, valued 1T
500. All the New Year spirit suddenly
oozed out of his fingertips.
In u few minutes word had passed
from one to another. and most Of the
first cabin passengers Of the steamer
Caledonia, which had just arrived from
Glasgow. were searching up and down
for the lost gem. But despite the dill
gent search made for its recovery while
its loser stood bewildered, the diamond
was not found, and passengers passed
out in twos and threes wishing Mr.. Op-
perman all kinds of luck in finding IT,
One Of the III cabin passengers was
Miss Lena Dalrymple. who was met
at the pier by her hance Ellis Parker,
who is a vaudeville singer, and although
Miss Dalrymple was herself disappointed
at landing too late to have her marriage
performed on the first day Of the new
year she managed to leave her belong
ings long enough to make search for
the diamond and offer few words of
comfort to it's loser.
