VIOLATION AND SEDUCI-
ton OF INNOCENCS

Inattention and indifference to the
proper rearing OF children; misrep-
reservation in the matter of their true
position in life; ignorance, poverty.
<and the lack Of education in lifes
fundamentals are some of the un-
healthy conditions that bring about
the downfall OF many young girls.
Every day our attention is called
to The erring girl. Mere children
falling victims to the poison pitfalls
of perverted humanity. Who is to
blame and what is the answer? The
real fault is largely with the parents
because of the indifference of their
home life. Girls are not taught the
virtues of domestic life and they are
not seriously impressed with life's
fundamentals.
Y-
Ignorance and lack of high ideals
are undoubtedly among the chief
causes or the principal underlying
factors of Juvenile delinQuence among
young girls. 81 did not know, my
mother never told me-" is the simple
plea OF most young girls, when they
are called to account and explain
why they have taken wrong
. course In life, I did not know,
mother never tells me Of the pitfalls
and dangers that have encountered.
In those four words there lies the
saddest tragedy in the life Of many
poor unfortunate girl. The per-
picking factors underlying this Ia.
mentable conditions is the neglect
OF mothers to do their full duty to
their innocent uniformed daughters.
knowledge, understanding and
high ideals of the fundamentals OF
life are bulwarks of social safety
and should be taught by parents in
every home. Ignorance is danger

The Bolivar County Democrat., 1919-07-19

Newcastles was ever made Frankel was prosper
while he had the stone and Habib's misfor-
tunes after he sold the stone. Sir Francis
Hope never had the stone and May Yohe never
saw it. All of which states Z. Edgar Wilson, as
aforesaid.
Nevertheless and Notwithstanding, the reputa-
zion of the Hope diamond is probably blasted for
all time. If it hasn't the "evil eye" there are
millions of superstitious people who believe it has
and will give credence to everything evil they may
read about it.
They may, in the course of time, even attribute
to its malign influence the automobile accident
which made Vinson Mclean at his birth the sole
heir to the great Walsh fortune. In 1905, when
automobiles were rare, Vinson Walsh, brother of
Mrs. Mclean was killed in smashup at Newport.
Mrs. Mclean who then Miss Evelyn Walsh,
was also in the and received injuries which
made her invalid for a year.
Two other children have been born to Mr. and
Mrs. Mclean, both boys, one of whom Is four and
the other year old
At the time of the probating of his grandfa
ther Wash's will it found that there
only $6,210000 to be divided between the two heirs
Of the Mclean union, Vinson and John R., Jr.
Young Mclean a democratic youth. For
several years his boon companion was a small
negro boy. His tutors said he was an exception
ally bright student and he was popular with his
mates.
He was fond of animals. Ffty-six Shropshire
sheep were sent all the way from Colorado to Bar
IIarbor by express for him. They came from the
big Walsh ranch, Wolhurst, near Denver. He
himself directed the purchase of great flock of
white Brahma chickens, ducks and turkeys, a Rus
sian wolf hound, six bloOded terriers, two Great
Danes and a half score of other dogs and a great
number of ponies,
Are the McLeans superstitious about the beau
tifuI gem? Nobody seems to know definitely. But
one of the stories about the stone since it has been
in their possession seems to indicate that its evil
reputation had its effect upon them.
Anyway as the story goes, there was some hitch
about the payment of the purchase price of the
stone. 1t evidently not because of lack of
money. There a law suit. In the course of
the controversy stories printed to show that
Mr.. Mclean harbored feeling of timidity be-
cause of the evil history attributed to the stone,
and that he stipulated that the jewel should be
taken back by the Cartier firm in the event that
any tragedy occurred in the Mclean family within
six months. Whether that story is true is not
clear but eventually formal announcement was
made by attorneys connected with the suit over
the purchase price that a compromise had been
effected.
The superstitious who believe in the "evil eye,
which is world wide belief that neither Christian
ty nor civilization has been able to Kill, will
pin their faith the evil spell OF the Hope dia-

found that he suffered financial reverses and other
personal misfortunes
Hope is credited with having given the diamond
to his daughter at the time she married the sixth
duke of Newcastle in 1861. But apparently it was
the fiction mongers and not she who bequeathed
the gem to her son, Lord Francis Hope. that it
might get sensatonally into the life of May Yohe.
the American actress.
This part of the story is fiction 1t is true
that May Yohe married Lord Francis Hope. 1t
is true that she eloped with Capt. Putnam Brad
lee Strong, son of a former mayor of New York.
Lord Francis obtained q divorce, and the wife
married Captain Strong, only to be divorced d
second time.
But May Yohe, although she has been quoted as
saying that she wore the Hope diamond only
twice and that her troubles due to its malign
influence, probably never even the stone. Ger
tainly Lord Francis had possession of it.
SO, when the story goes to say that he sold
it for $16S,OO0 to Joseph Frankel, a New York
jeweler, the statement Is untrue.
1t is true that Frankel had the gem in New
York. Where and from whom Frankel acquired
the stone never has been made clear, but the
stone went back to Paris and into the possession
of Jacques Colet, who bought it from FrankeI.
Colet has been reported having killed himself
after losing his mind.
Before that tragedy, however, the diamond is
reputed to have passed into the ownership of
Prince Ivan Kantowski, and the.legend promptly
disposes of the prince at the hands of a mob Of
Russian revolutionists Thence. the story skips to
the murder of Mile. Ladue, to whom the Russian
prince had loaned the diamond A jealous adj
mirer is charged with this murder
Next in the legend of the jewel is listed Simon
Moncharides, of whose identity there appears to
be uncertainty. But the legend sends him riding
close enough to precipice to be thrown over and
killed. Just before his death Moncharides is cred
tied with having sold the diamond TO Selim Habib
a Persian, who acted as agent for the Sultan
Abdul Hamd.
One version of the next chapter is that Habib
was drowned in a wreck and the diamond lost
The publication of this later explained as a
ruse to throw thieves off the trail. This version
takes the stone to Constantinope, where it cuts a
wide swath in violence. misfortune and death and
finally brings about the end of Abdul Hamid
Be all that as it may, it appears that instead of
having drowned with the gem in the shipwreck
,Habib got back to Paris with it. 1t was sold at
auction for $4,000 June "a, 1909
The gem then passed into possession of P. c.
Cartier and the Cartier firm brought it to this
country. In January, 1911 announcement was
made that the stone had been sold to the Mclean
family and that the purchase price was S1SOOOO
