UMBRELLA CASE OF VALUE
Idea Is 10 Match the Costume, and.
the Vogue Is Rapidly Becoming
Fashionable.

Because OF the tremendous vogue
Of velvets and the number OF cos
tunes in that material that are being
made up, the Velvet~encased umbrella
has come into being. Made on q
slender but substantial frame, which
folds closely, and covered with a silk
taneta spread, the umbrella when
closed and encased appears like q
walking stick Of velvet from: ferruIe
to top. a solid silver monogram
plate caps the handle, which. ten
inches down its length, Is ornamented
with a double ring OF silver.
Decided colors are now the smart
thing In silk umbrellas. All the FASH
ionable shades of purple, blue, mauve
and the new reds are in demand for
spreads, which are mounted upon
frames that press tightly about q
slender stick and give the convenience
the appearance of a silken cane. This
fashionable fad is to procure unique
handle for the umbrella that Is car
ried with the tailored walking suit,
and while some OF the effects are ar
tistic, others are actually bizarre.
Among the latter are the cat. parrot
and monkey heads in natural colors
with jewels for eyes. In the former
class are all manner of beautifully
carved handles of rare woods and
ivory. and when money is not an OBJ.
ject, of jade, amber, rock crystal o,
solid silver and gold.

OFFICER SAVED FROM DEATH
Drlftwood Gatherer Rescues the Only
Survivor of Small Boat Run
Down by Barge.

New York.-For two hours before
dawn recently Policeman Otto
Schmuck, attached to the East One
Hundred and Twenty-Sixth Street sta,
ton, fought for life in the twisting
| tides Of Hell Gate, and finally won,
| while three companions who were
| with him In powerboat, run down In
| He'll Gate by a railroad barge, were
drowned.
Mrs. Caroline Phillips, who lives at
/ So Hoyt avenue, Astoria, makes a
| practice each messaing to search the
shore of the river only a few hundred
feet away from her house for drift
wood, and Schmuck owes his life to
her.
She saw what she ar first thought
to be 8 log-"a nice, big log" as the
cleaner of drIftwood put it-lodged
among the rocks some Is feet out
from the river bank.
AS she was trying to devise some
plan for the logs recovery she heard a
shiyering moan and she saw move
ment OF the black streak in the wa
ter.
Without q moments hesitation the
woman waded out into the Icy water
TO her waist and came to a man who
was floating, anchored to the tip of
q rock by the grip Of his two blue
hands.
Though the current was swift, and
the weight of the half-droWned man
was dragging, the gatherer of drift
wood towed the limp body ashore.
The semi man was removed
to the Astoria police station and
thence to st. Johns hospital.

Large Rewards Unclaimed.

Fifty thousand dollars has been
offered for the recovery of the viii of
the late Sir John Murray Scott, but it
does not quite break the record. One
hundred thousand dollars was offered
in 1894 for the recovery Of an Ameri-
can schoolboy, Webster Conkling, who
mysteriously disappeared In Paris.
The boy, fifteen years old, was on his
way to the st. l. ARE railway station
in Paris in company with one Of his
schoolmasters. The master lost sight
OF the boy for an instant, and, turn
ing round, found that he had disap-
peared as though the earth had swal-
lowed him. Conk1ing's mother, q
wealthy widow, began by offering ST.
900 for his recovery, and then in
crease the reward to 100000. The
money was deposited at Munroe's
bank in the Rue Scribe, but never
found claimant.
