BIG REWARD OFFERED The Police Here Notified to Be on the Lookout for the Thief. Chicago, May 24. That the $15, 000 jewel robbery at John W.

A warrant was sworn out for Herbert's arrest .yesterday and the police of all cities and seaports in the country were notified to be on the lookout for him. Mr. Riser offered a reward of $500 and 5 per cent, of the value of the stolen jewels for the arrest and conviction of the thief, making a total reward of $1,250. Herbert has disappeared and the police have been unable to trace him. That evening, when Mrs. Riser entered the dining hall, she saw, through the window, Herbert watching the house from the opposite side of the tivet. A little later Westlake the coachman. saw him peering through the pickets of the fide gate He went to meet him, but bv the time he had readied the gate Herbert had disr.npoa" rd. The coachman looked up and down the street and in the 'il lev, but -uld sec nothing of him. The family was then sitting down tc dinner. It is supposed that Herbert secured entrance to t he basement by a key, which he had duplicated from the one he had carried when butier, and that, standing directly beneath the telephone booth, he waited the ring of his accomplice, which was to clear his way for action. Following the household custom, all the upstairs servants repaired to the kitchen and dining-room at the dinner hour except Mrs. Riser's maid, whose duty it was to sit in the sleeping-room in the front of the house on the second floor and answer calls at the telephone. A ring came for the coachman, and the voice at the other end of the wire said the message was very important. The maid told Mr. Riser, and he instructed her to go to the stable and call West lake. She was gone six minutes. In her absence, it is supposed, Herbert stole, by a stairway between the butler's pantry and the front hall, to the room in which the jewels were kept. He unlocked the dresser drawer where the gems were kept with the key of Mr. Riser's chiffonier a thing none of the family knew was possible. When the maid returned OOOOOOOOOOO r O o o o o it o

STREET. ;' .fl 5 25 8 00 from the stable the supposed accomplice was still listening at the other end of the wire. When she told him the coachman had just gone out he laughed and said: "You have been gone just six minutes." The Richmond police department has been notified to look out for him, together with a description of the man. A PERFECT BICYCLE. -From an article on Postal Frauds in Leslie's Monthly for June. It is an attribute of human nature that every man carries in his head a rough price list of the merchantable articles with which he is familiar. If a price for a house and lot or a col lar button is named lower than that Which he has in his mind, he thinks he js either getting a bargain or .being cheated. Many swindlers have ting your tire." In short, so the advertiser enthusiastically asserted, the wheel was "a perfect charm." It was, in the literal sense of the word, as the purchasers found out, for the mail brought a bicycle watch charm, made of plated wire wrought in the form of a bicycle. The tires were indeed unpuncturable. Every statement in the advertisement was literally and exactly true. RESTRICT CASHING OF CHECKS. Indianapolis, May 24. As the result of the visit here of Edgar A. AValz of New York, president of the National Hotel-Keepers' Protective Association, notices were posted today in all the leading hotels of Indiana stating that the proprietors, after Sept. 1, would cash no paper for anybody not bearign a letter of credit issued by the association. Similar notices will be published in other states, the officials say. FIND DIAMONDS IN CAROLINA: Raleigh, N. C, May 24. The whole community of Lucama, Wilson county, is engaged in a diamond hunt following the finding of twenty-eight cut gems worth $7,700 in the ashes of a carload of fertilizer burned there in a railroad wreck. The ashes were ., . . , . . . distributed over a field, which is now being thoroughly searched. A dispute between Lafayette Jones, owner of the field, and negro finders of the stones has been decided by a magis trate in favor of the latter. The North-Western Line Russia-Ja pan Atlas.

FREE SCHOOL MEALS. -How the L.-reer German Cities Pr -ride For Needy l'uptla. In the larger German cities free meals are provided at the , public schools for children needing additional nutriment, the custom prevailing by the report of Consul Warner at' Leipsic In twenty-one cities. With the exception of Berlin, Barmen, Brunswick and Nuremberg, not only the poor but the sick and Infirm children were also given breakfast, i In Magdeburg food is only supplied j In very hard winters. Instead of I breakfast dinner Is given to the cbildren la Dresden, Munich, Stettin and Strassburg, but in Munich It Is projected to also furnish breakfast. In Hamburg there is attached great weight to providing proper dinners for the children, the expense of which amounts to about 28,000 marks ($G,CC4) annually. In Brunswick, Breslau, Cologne, Kiel, Posen and Nuremberg dinner, In addition to breakfast. Is also furnished. In Breslau, Charlottenburg, Dusseldorf, Halle, Mannheim and Magdeburg the food is distributed by public institutions, while in the other towns it is furnished by charitable societies. The municipal authorities of Dantzic, Dortmund, Hamburg, Hanover, Konigsberg and Posen contribute toward these funds, however. ." The breakfast i3 not always the same; for instance, white bread, dry or buttered, and milk; milk, with coffee and bread; coffee or soup and bread, or soup made of flour and white bread. Usually the children receive milk, the quantity given being from three gills to a pint. The last mentioned quantity Is provided in Kiel. "Rude" Northerners. A complainer was at the Gait nouse recently one M. I. Barks of Boanoke, Va. Mr. Barks complains severely of the rude manners of some Americans. He says that he recently took passage from New York to Boston in one of the sound steamers. He was greatly annoyed by the gormandizing and bolting by passengers at the supper table. He tells of how he reached out his hand for a plate of potatoes which was nearly exhausted, there being but a solitary one remaining on the plate. He was about to draw it to him when a fork was stuck deep into the potato and a harsh voice exclaimed: "Halves, mister; halves." Mr. Barks says that, this embarrassing ordeal having been gone through, he said to a "gentleman" at his side: "Will you oblige me by passing me the butter?" "There's the butter by you." said the man in a cold, disagreeable tone., "Thank you," said Mr. Barks. "I did not see it." "Very well," said bis amiable neighbor. "Who said you did see it?' "That closed my conversation,'? said Mr. Barks. "Tl.ose northern people are very rude; some of them." Louisville Herald. Otlil Carvine. A newly imported statuette of a priest carved in one piece of ivory shows how remarkable the Japanese are and what a wonderful patience they have. The priest is bearing in his right hand a staff, to which is bound a lotus bulb, while in the open palm of the left hand he holds a miniature figure of himself, exact as to detail. Every hair of his head and every detail of the body and drapery is per- . r . . 1 1 - l . . . t icci. now iuy ious are us iuiu as j paper. One can almost see under the finger nails. The arms show as far as the elbow inside of the loose sleeves, evidencing the wonderful skill of the carver and how carefully he must have done his work to prevent the delicate, ivory front' breaking to pieces under bis tools. Itnly'a Distinction. In invention, scholarship, scientific research and large enterprise and in national pride (without which no counC,im e T? oref!gners) Italy has an enviable distinction, u honors lt3 Inteiiectual men Intelllgently, not by an ignorant notoriety, and money does not take precedence of mind. If its plastic art has suffered a commercial eclipse, Italy is not unique In this experience, while in dramatic art it still leads the world with Tommaso Salvlni and Eleonora Duse. In music and literature there is much activity and a far from complaisant public opinion. Century. Valilis Smoke. A smoke washing device is said to be In successful use In Ixmdon which does away with the necessity for chimneys. as it produces the amount of draft required for complete combustion and exdriven fan, which draws the smoke rom tbe fire and Passea it into a Btream of water, which extracts the sulphurous and unconsumed particles.

One day, when she wr.s ZZ, tlisio came to her a certain stalrcrt fellow she had known frora Infancy f.nJ. told her, what she already know, ttat Le loved her and wished to marry her. Miss Brockton, liking hini exceedingly well, realizing how pleasant life might be uc.e with Lis mener, Lis narno. his devotion to her and his companionship, and cec!d Ins that the ecstatic love of which poems and novels treated would never com? to her anyway, accepted him. The engagement came out duly: the cups and saucers came in. Margaret liked Jack Whittlestone a great deal and found the position cf fiancee charming, and all was well. Then the villain appeared on the scene in the shape of . Louis Radcliffe, Jack's cousin. Louis was u delightfully unmodern person who seemed to have taken for his model some of the early Victorian heroes. lie was a combination of youthful romanticism, elderly cynicism and other interesting qualities. He had a superb scorn of the conventions, a magnificent belief in himself and a corresponding amiable skepticism in regard to other people. He "interested" Margaret greatly, she said, at first. Then she ceased to say anything about him. Jack, not being skilled in the ways of women, did not worry ever c'lher his bctrothed's speech or its absence. Ho knew the new woman well enough not to assert Ids rights and bid her have les3 conversation with his cousin, even had he wished to do so. Liberty being the law of Margaret's life and unsuspecting good nature of Jack's, the situation had every chance to complicate itself. It did so promptly. Margaret, who had decided that fervid and ecstatic love was not at all likely to come her way, awoke one line morning to the realization that the universe had in it just one man Jack's Impossible, poverty stricken, irresistible cousin.. And Jack's cousin, who had laughed at Margaret's feminine cynicism and pretense of coldness, felt that she and she alone could be the complement to his life. They were both unhappy enough to give them credit for some good intentions, but in the midst of their unhappiness they were supremely conscious of what a tritle misery was compared to the joy of seeing eacli other. Margaret knew perfectly, in her few sane hours, that she did nr;i wish to marry Louis liadeliffe. Slie realized that he v. o;::I ucvelop into a thorough ly undosirabie sort of Lusbaad, even apart from his poverty. "If only I could et over this." she moaned to herself, "at fort3 I should be wretched with him, at forty I should be comfortable if not madly happy with Jack. If only if only I were forty now!" It was one 'day 'when she and Louis had sat for ah hour staring ahead of them at the sea that the climax came. "Why don't you talk?" demanded Margaret, finding her heart beats oppressive. "Because I cannot say what I wish to," he answend. Then, of course, lie proceeded to say the things which he should not have said, and for a few minutes the sea and sky reeled before their eyes and they breathed as if in a trance, after which, according to the sacrificial modern manner, they decided to part, and the next day the community was startled to learn that the erratic Mr. Kaueliffe was going to Europe. Then it was that Margaret showed how thoroughly lacking she was in the modern mercenary spirit she had always claimed. It gave her a mournful satisfaction to think that, though she could not marry Louis who, to tell the truth, had not asked her to do so she need not marry Jack. So she broke her engagement promptly and proceeded to indulge herself in her great grief. She heard nothing of either of the cousins for a long time. for naturally her course of action with Jack had suspended communication between the families. For three years she was secretly as romantic as the most romantic schoolgirl. She thought of Louis constantly and pleased herself by imagining that he, in Egypt or Algiers or wherever he was, myst know her thoughts. She was exceedingly happy with her grief. Outwardly she seemed much the same, but inwardly she acknowledged the sway of love and its power. One evening three years after Louis liadeliffe had gone away she went to a reception. A little, pudgy woman, overdressed and overgeniined, stood by her hostess' side. "My cousin, Mrs. Radcliffe, Miss Brockton," said her hostess. And then, with sudden remembrance: "You must recall Mr. liadeliffe. He was Jack Whlttlestone's cousin, you know." And then, as Margaret cordially in quired after Mr. Radcliffe and said how she well remembered t him, sent! mentalism for the first time fell

Marty Bergen, the one time premier joCkey of America, returned to this country recently after a stay of three years in foreign lands. Bergen came direct from Chantilly, France, where he has been associated I with Eugene Leigh. He has been in England, Germany and France and has been training horses. Bergen said that he expected to make a contract to train for a prominent American owner and promises to sottlo down to hard work if the engagement is made. He will not attempt to ride, though he is in splendid condition and could ride at 105 pounds. He looks well and prosperous. It is not so many years ago that Bergen was a i:a::5e to conjure with on eastern race tracks. He rode Salvator in his race against time at Monmouth park.
