New York.-A secret, carefully
guarded six months, was discovered
when it became known that Mrs. Nell
lie Grant Sartoris Jones, daughter of
Zen. U. s.. Grant, lost last May a
historical emerald ring given to her
father by the emperor of Japan at
the time the famous soldier made his
tour of the world.
The ring, the intrinsic value of
which Is placed at $685. 900, was
dropped down a waste pipe at the
Hotel Renaissance, SIP Fifth avenue,
where Mrs. Sartoris was living prior
to her marriage last July to Frank H.
Jones, a Chicago banker and assist
ant postmaster general in President
Cleveland's second administration.
Value Fixed at 100000.
The historical and sentimental val
lie of the gem can only be guessed at,
but an authority declared it was GER
tainly worth S100, 900.
When Mrs. Sartoris inherited the
Jewel she insured it with Lloyds' of
London for $4,000, and the full
amount was paid after the company
conducted a search such as had nev-
er before been made in this city.
1t is the boast Of Lloyds that it can
find lost articles better than any 9TH

the company caused the city's sewer

Mrs. Sartoris was dressing for dim

seldom wore it, and she was shocked
and grieved by her loss.
E. w. Northrup, chief engineer of
the Renaissance, was notified of the
Jewels disappearance, and with AS
sistant Manager Watson went to the
bathroom, where the trap was opened.
No ring was found, and Mrs. Sarto-
ris became frantic.
She was told that the gem might
have lodged in a second trap in the
cellar, and this was searched, but
still no trace of the jewel was found.
A New York representative of
Lloyds verified the report that his
company had paid Gen. Grants
daughter $4,000.
