RICH VESTMENTS
FUGITIVE PRIEST BRINGS A FOR
TUNE IN JEWELS TO THE
UNITED STATES.

New York, March IA kings
ransom in jewels blazoned in the roy
al eagles of Spain at the time of
Charles V, the most powerful mon
arch of the Sixteenth century. lies
under guard at the customs house
here. awaiting appraisal.
The value of the jewels is estimat-
ed roughly at between 100000 and
$500, 900. The gems. set In gold
and white and purple robes and
mounted on two golden crowns, were
brought to New York by a Catholic
priest. clad in shabby clothes. who
fled from Mexico City a month ago.
made his way TO Vera Cruz and sailed
aboard the steamer Montevideo. The
Montevideo reached New York March
G. with this priest and six other fugi-
tive priests. who had been banished
from Mexico by Gen. Obregon, Car
ranza's lieutenant, at Mexico City.
From the depths of a battered suit
case the gems and robes were tum-
bled out upon the dock for inspec-
ton by the custom authorities. They
so dazzled the inspectors that they
were hastily put back into the suit
case. Under guard. they were taken
TO a safe deposit vault, where they
were locked up and special watch
men detailed to guard them.
This rich prize. ii Is said, lay in the
cathedral of Mexico City-presum-
ably for centuries till ii slipped
through Carranza's fingers in the
priests flight from Mexico. The name
of this priest was withheld. IL was
learned, however, that he had said
he hastily packed the jewels and
robes in his suitcase when Gen. Obre-
gon called for a church tax of $780,
900 locking up many Catholic priests
in Mexico City until the tax was
raised. An archbishop's robe of pur-
pie Ii the chief article of value. The
robe is of silk and apparently OF
great antiquity. Wrought in dia-
monds and emeralds. rubies and
pearls on the front of the robe so
that Ii covers the wearer's breast Is
the ancient Spanish coat of arms,
double eagles back TO back. wings
raised and beaks open. The gems
are mounted in gold. The robe is
very heavy. From the double eagle
design, the customs officials believe
there is truth in the priests story
that the robes were sent to Mexico in
the Sixteenth century. Spain In that
period was at the height OF her power
and her ruler. Don Carlos |, was
known as Charles v. of the Holy Ro-
man Empire.
Next in value TO the archbishop
robe are two gold crowns, mounted
with diamonds, rubies. emeralds and
sapphires. Some of these gems, II Is
said. are as large as hazlenuts.
Several smaller clerical robes in
purple and white silk, some of them
spangled with gems, complete the
lot. The priest who carried them
from Mexico to New York. declared
them, IL is said. at 100000.
Under the law providing for ad'
mission of antiquities free of duty, II
was said the gems might be admitted
without charge.

OLD FASHIONED ~KABAK.

An old fashioned game which is al
ways amusing at the Christmas gath
ering is kabak. In this absurd pas
time the leader says to the one who
sits at his right hand, my ship has
come home from Gilman" The other
then asks, "What has it brought you?"
The leader makes reply, "A fan"
Thereupon with his right hand he
makes gestures as If flaming himself.
The next player then takes the place
Of the leader in stating that his ship
has come home from China. The Ques.
tons and answers are repeated as be.
fore until the second player is also
engaged In flaming himself.
In this manner the round Of players
is made, and at the end all are indus.
triously working an imaginary fan
with their right hands.
The leader then begins the second
round with similar remark, from
which is evolved the fact that he has
received two fans, and he illustrates
this by tanning himself with both
hands. This, in turn, makes a round
Of the company until all are waving
both hands to and fro.
The leader then begins the third Sc
ries. making three fans In fancy by
swaying his right foot back and forth.
Then he includes the left foot. Final
" the head is nodded. The effect Of
. ~hole company engaged in swaying
their hands, their feet and heads IL al
together ludicrous. :
There are many Christmas amuse-
ments which depend for their fun on
the failure Of the players to perform
any designated task. Such. for exam
pie, is that where each person with
blindfolded eyes tries to draw the out
lines Of pig. Often the unfortunate
subject Of the sketch will have an eye
In its side and tail on its head, with
general appearance unlike anything
else In air or on earth.
