u. S. AMBASSADOR RESIGNS

Robert Bacon, ambassador of the
United States at Paris, has resigned
to ally himself with Harvard univer-
sity
Ambassador Bacon's letter, in which
he announced his resignation to Presi-
dent Taft, was received by the Presi-
dent at Washington few days ago.
Mr.. Bacon especially refrained from
making his retirement public, as he
desired the first announcement to
come from Harvard university, which
recently chose him to be fellow in
place of Judge Lowell, deceased.
Ambassador Bacon said he wished
his friends to know that there were
no Interior motives for his resignation.
He had been for IL years a member
of the board of overseers and could
not, he said, decline the honor of be-
coming fellow of Harvard. which he
considered to be the best single intiu-
ence for good in America.
Mr.. Bacon added that he welcomed
the opportunity to identify himself ac-
lively with the great problems of .Amel

RING GIVEN GEN. GRANT
LOST IN HOTEL SEWER
Most Careful Search in the
Pipes for Two Blocks Fails to
Disclose Precious Gem.

NEW YORK, October 2S.-Mrs Nellie
Grant Sartoris Jones lost last May, while
at the Hotel Renaissance, at 43d street
and 9th avenue, historic 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 slipped down a water vent in
the bathroom Of an apartment the
second floor as the then Mrs. Sartoris
was dressing for dinner.
Search was made at once in vain. and
Lloyds. with which the ring was insured,
began a thorough Investigation.
Before the explorers began, thirty brass
rings of the weight of the jewel were
dropped down the pipe into which the
emerald had slipped. with the notion
that they might follow the course of the
GEM After these tracers had been sent
on their errand the searchers donned
heavy rubber coats and boots and climb
ed into the manhole nearest the hotel.
Then in buckets they haued UP every
particle of matter found in the sewer.
The residue was placed in dump carts
examined by other searchers under
Iloyds' supervisors. Great hope was
raised when the third load disclosed one
of the brass rings. and this hope became
higher when other loads gave up more
of the rings.
1t was slow work. but the company
persisted until the laborers reached 7th
avenue. There was no use going beyond
this point, for the main trunk sewer
is a raging torrent, and any object falling
into 1t would ultimately be swept into
the bay. Moreover. every one Of the brass
rings had been found. The historical
and sentimental value of the gem can
only be guessed at. but an authority de-
clared yesterday it was certainly worth
100000, although it was insured for
only $1,000, which has been paid, indi-
eating that the search had been in vain.

compared with that quarter of 1911, while
NJ arly 1.aJ0,O0oW0 cigars were smoked
during that time. The cigar consumption
promises to establish a new record.
More Beer Consumed.
A total of 10 10000 barrels of beer We're
consumed during the three months, which
was 10000 barrels more than in the
same period of 1911. This somewhat sur
prised revenue officials, as beer drinking
fell off considerably during the fiscal
year ending June 30 last. That decrease
was partly accounted for by Commission
err Cabell by the increased popularity OF
buttermik as a summer drink.
The growing consumption of these ar
ticles has greatly augmented the govern
ment's revenue. The internal revenue
receirts for October. already more than
81 600 coo greater than October, 1911, will
eclipse all records for any October, in the
judgment OF Mr.. Cabell.
