ACTRESS TO REVIVE SET
OF PEARLS LEFT BY QUEEN
Senorita de Valencia Quits Stage
For This Task at Cars
Request

PARIS, March S-A Spanish actress
has left The stage TO save pearls from
dying SenOrita TOrtola de Valencia
Is said TO have discovered that she has
a special gift OF reviying pearls: Wo-
men confided their necklaces TO het,
and, after oueAIpg her skin for "A

services To restore the lustre of some
magnificent rows OF pearls that had

The Spanish actress learned that so
many pearls were losing their lustre
that she decided TO give up her career
on the stage 10 save the dying pearls.
She is paid handsomely by the ladies
who confde their pearls 10 her. and
tie gems invariably recover their
pristine brilliancy.
A well-known Partisan jeweler
when asked for his opinion on this re.
port, said:

covered that certain persons have the
very contrary effect on pearls. Their

Women, therefore, who give their
pearls TO others to wear must be sure
that those persons are perfectly
healthy.
People who have undergone GER
tain treatments or taken certain rem
edies are unfit To wear pearls next
their skin. IT, therefore. some persons
have bad effect on pearls, others
may likewise have a good effect and
Senorita Tortola de Valencia, perhaps,
is one OF these.
But in general II is absurd to be-

TRIBUTE TO
JESSE Nj. GOODWIN.

On the morning of October 10Th as
the rays of dawn were peeping over
the eastern horizon, the spirit of our
friend and companion, Jesse M. Good
win, passed from this world through
the dark valley and into the shadows
of the great beyond, from whose
borne no traveller returns. To say that
the sad tidings of his death as they
went forth on the wings of the morn
ing brought sorrow to the hearts of
his many friends and loved ones, but
feebly express the real sadness of
their mission.
The writer having been intimate
ly associated with the deceased for
the past few years, and fully realizing
his beautiful traits of character, it
is with heart of sorrow that we pen
these feeble lines sacred to his men,
ory.
Jesse Goodwin was possessed of
those traits of character which win
the friendship and confidence of those
with whom he came in contact, and we
were proud of him as our friend. He
possessed the wisdom of a man and
the heart of a child, and his daily
walk in life and his dealings with
his fellowman evidenced the fact that
he held communion with his Creator.
He was kind, gentle, honorable and a
sincere friend, one upon whom you
could we'll rely.
His place is vacant at our board,
but the memory of his presence will
forever be cherished by those of us
who enjoyed his friendship and daily
| association.
Although his untimely death was
sad blow to his sanity mother, it
| should be sweet consolation to her
to know that she possessed this boy
as her son, and to her we extend our
deepest sympathy, but we realize that
God, the giver of all good gifts, will
administer to the wounded hearts of
those who mourn his death.
He was our friend--we loved him in
life, we mourn him in death.
A Friend.

and 1 want to say this, that if it took
all of this to save, to bring me to
where / stand, and in spite of all this
prosecution, all this shame and suffer-
ing, if it has taken all of this to re-
deem my soul and save me from hell
1 am thankful for it today.
81 now have a better conception of
God and of man. With that fact in
view, realizing the cheapness of life
l can be of better service to God
and to man. l feel that if you will
give me another opportunity, after
pleading guilty to this charge, and let
me have another chance, 1 can be of
more service to God than ever before.
| feel that l can live life of sublime
service and conservation to God AS
dark as it may seem, as disgusting
as it may seem to you, as hellish as
it appears, l feel that in the depths
of my heart can go forward in bet
ter service and l make this plea to
you.
"What is life? 1t is a very small
thing. 1t is a very short time here
and l do not regard it as much. So
far as my suffering it would soon be
over and would be dead. Then it is
matter of eternity. But my present
plea is that 1 have sinned, that I
have suffered the tortures of the
damned, that if 1 am given another
opportunity, that the hold I now have
on God, with the strength of the new
faith l have in Him from out of this
awful sin, believe that can go out
into the dives of sin in this State and
be of service to my State and my God
In reclaiming the evil-dooers, in saw
ing the State great expense and in
redeeming them of their crimes and
sins.
81 believe truly that can be of
great service to my God and my fell
low man. I love my life, it is true,
but simply feel that in view of this
new conception, life is very small
matter. Life is not eternity; it is a
mere temporary existence. That which
comes from God, to God must return.
So far as death is concerned it is very
small; it is the greater something
which comes after"
