VICTORIA IS A CLOISTER.
PI! T ON ’ PROBATION FOR A
YEAR BY MR. MOROSINI.
Such is the Story Belated or. Iler Be
half by a Ldy Who Was Intimate
WJt.h Her—Two Nuns Said to Have
Taken Her to Montreal.
From the Few York Timet.
A lady who was on intimate terms with
Victoria Schilling said yesterday that
the arrangement her father, banker Moro- j
Bini, bad made with her was that she
should go to Montreal and spend a year
in a convent there. She met two sisters
from the convent in the Grand Central
depot at 6 o’clock last Wednesday eve
ning, and took the 6:30 train on the New
York Central road. The young man with
Uhe black moustache, who has got into
ljhe newspapers as an attendant upon
bier, checked her trunk through. She
ivacbed Montreal at 8:20 o’clock on
Thursday morning, and went to the Con
vent oi the Sacred Heart. After one year
spent there she will return to her father’s
house. The lady who told the Sun re
porter this said:
••Mrs. Schilling’s health began to fail in
the early part of last winter. She caught
several severe colds, and she frequently
■went to the Casino and plaved her part
when she was scarcely able to stand. The
colds leit ber with a disagreeable cough
teat she oould not get rid of. To add to
her troubles, ber voice failed ber, and she
fell into the ranks of the chorus singers.
Once Miss Marianne Manola of the Ca
sino company found her in tears. She
said then that she longed to see her father,
and asked Miss Manola It she hadn’t bet
ter go borne.
•“Indeed you had,’ was the reply, ‘and
if your lather will receive you 1 should
advise you to forsake everything for him.’
•‘.News of Mrs. Schilling’s (ailing health
was sent to Mr. Morosini, and be made an
effort to communicate with ber indirectly.
It was at this time that the voune man
with the Dlack moustache was seen in
Mrs. Schilling’s company in Broadway
and got into an evening newspaper. Mrs.
Schilling was very much distressed.
•• ‘He is a gentleman from Yonkers, who
has known my family for a long time,’
she told a friend. ‘He brings me news of
my father, and that is the reason I see
him occasionally.’
“About five months ago she fell ill again,
and Mr. Morosini sent a friend to the
Casino to make inquiries about her. Upon
learning of her illness he reqnested one of
the members of the company to meet him.
The person refused to do this, Dut said
that if Mrs. Morosini would call at the
Casino no information would be denied
ber. Mrs. Morosini did not call, but Mr.
Morosini’s friend did, and he was fre
quently thereafter seen talking with Vic
toria. 'After each one of these visits Mrs.
Schilling was always in high spirits, and
was often heard to remark that she
would soon be under the care of her
father. One night, less than live weeks
ago, she told Ernest that she thought of
leaving him and going back home. In
speaking of this afterward she said that
Jirnest burst out crying and sobbed all
pight. As time passed Mrs. Schilling be
carneso weak that she hardly had strength
U> dress herself for the performance. ‘lf
this thing doesn’t end soon,’ she said, ‘I
think I shall be tempted to kill myself.’
This remark was promptly conveyed to
Mr. Morosini, who sent his friend up in
haste the next day. He bad a long
talk with Victoria, who said after
h£ had left ber that she thought
she and her father would not be separated
lpng. Mr. Morosini had sent word to
Victoria that if she was willing to leave her
husband and live in obscurity for a year
jje would then take her home. She sent
word back that sbe was perfectly willing
t do this, and Air. Morosini got a friend
ot his in Alontreal to arrange for Vieto*
iria’s recoptinn in the convent. He then
sent word to Victoria to hold herself in
readiness to leave the city at a moment’s
notice, and to arrauge things that her
absence from the Casino would
not. cause much comment. Victo
ria’s throat bad been troubling
her for sumo time, and so she got a certifi
cate from Dr. Scudder and beid it until
■Wednesday, when she received word to
ipeet the nuus at the Grand Central
jepql at 6:25 o’clock. She then showed
tile certificate to Air. Edwaid Aronson,
and on the strength of it got a leave of
absence for six days. Sue had anew
satchel with ber. and when she went
afouud into the green room to bid the
indies of the company good-bye Aliss
Manola said to her:
“-Well, I believe you are going home
At last.’
' “ ‘Oh,l shall be there to-night,’ said Vic
toria. laughingly.
•“Oh, no, you won’t either,’ retorted
Mias Manola.'
“I once said to Victoria that she cer
tainly never intended to pass her life with
her husband because he was so tar be
neath her. She replied dubiously that
shte did not know whether she would or
nat. I believe she had a real affection for
him and would live with him agaiu to
morrow if sbe had plenty oi money.”
VERY SERIOUS CHARGES.
A Boston Lawyer Makes Some
Strange Discoveries.
Washington, Sept. 7.—What promises
to be an interesting case of irregularity
was discovered in the Treasury Depart
ment on Saturday. There are still thou
sands of Alabama awards that have not
been paid. Avery serious hitch over a
large proportion ot them grew out ol the
lact that Mr. Manning, a Boston lawyer,
was disbarred by the so-called Alabama
court and an effort made not to have
draits made payable to hts order. Comp
troller Durham listened to almost endless
arguments from lawyers and claim agents
on the subject of who should have the
drafts, and linaliy ruled that in all cases
when there were doubts the drafts should
beheld by the Treasurer until i he ques
tion could be settled among the claimants
by the attorneys being paid their fees or
in some other way. Everything seemed
to be moving nlong satisfactorily under
this orderup to tlie time Comptroller Dur
ham was taken ill. Nearly 2,000 of these
warrants baa accumulated in the warrant
divisions in the Treasury, ltwasdecided
that all contested warrants should be so
marked. OnSatuvduv Mr.Manningoamo
to tbe Treasurer’s office and found an
other attorney, with wuom he had
a contest over several cases,
receipting on the Treasury’s book
for the drafts. Mr. Manning
pi otested that the draft should beheld.
Sir. Barrington, the clerk who had tbe
matter In charge, said they were not so
marked, and he could do nothing about it
except to issue them. Mr. Manning urged
that they should be held for a halt hour
till be could see the treasurer, but even
•this was not done, and ibe drafts were
duly delivered to bis opponent. Mr. Man
ning then immediately laid the case be
fore Treasurer Jordan, and the latter is
sued an order sioppiug payment on them
Until the whole matter cau be silted to
tbo bottom. Those who know the most
about tbe case are certain tuat there has
been some decidedly crooked work In
this matter. In the ltrst place,
It is said that tbo drafts in
question wero taken out of their order.
l'iey were well known to be in contro
versy, and yet no mark to indicate it was
put upon tiiem. As soon us inquiry begun
to be made, seveia! clerks were found
who said they had been tampered with by
parties in Interest. One clerk was offered
tj'i’i io perform a certain service, and an
other v as told that it' he would put a cer
tain warrant on top ol the pile there
Would be 150 in It tor blm. Tblscletk
immediately put the warrant In question
on the bottom of t.te pile, as a rebuke for
the suggetion. The result ol the whole
matter will undoubtedly be that anew
rule will be made by secretary
Fairchild. In the future a'l
warrants will undoubudly be
made payable to parties in interest, and
attorneys must make arrangements with
tbeir clients belorehand by re'ainin. Ices
or otherwise, so that they are secure.
For many years this same sort of thing
has been a nuisance in the Treasury.
Shysters and unscrupulous claim agents
obtain all sorts of claims for collection,
and agree to take a certain percentage
on the money when collected. It is be
lieved that the new rule, when etrictlv
in force, will shut out a great
many people of this kind. More
than 2,000 warrants for the payment of
awards in the Alabama Claims Court are
bung up in the Treasury bureau of contro
versy. In some cases parties in interest
snow written contracts with attorneys
that they were to be paid 5 or 10 per cent.
The attorneys are not satisfied with that
amount, as they claim tuatthe amount of
the awards have been cut so tnat this
sum does not pay them for their labor
and money expended.
A CRY FOR RELIEF.
Dreadful Stories from the Drought-
StricUen Portions of Texas.
Dallas, Tjcx., Bept. B.—Tales of suffer
ing and destitution continue to come from
the sparsely settled and new portions of
West and Northwest Texas, and appeals
for aid to the merchants of the large towns
are numerous. Some of the recitals of
misery are of the most touching charac
ter. Mr. Kirby, a leading citizen of An
son, the county seat of .tones county, in
the centre ot the Panhandle, 300 miles
northwest of Dallas, arrived in the
city to-day to forward aidiinovetiien ts for
the suffering in that section. He repre
cents the misery prevailing as ol the most
extreme character. Crops have been a
total tailure, and rain to amount to so
much as a good shower has not fallen in
fourteen months. He says in Jones county
there are over four hundred families of
new settlers who are absolutely on tbe
verge of starvation who must be given
immediate relief or they will actually die
for waut ol tbe commoneet necessities of
lile.
Air. Kirby says the people of the ad
joining unorganized counties attached to
Jones for judicial purposes are in equally
as pitiable a condition. He says also that
it is impossible for live stock to be win
tered in that immediate section; that the
whole country presents tbe appearance
Of avast desert without a blade of grass
or verdure of any description, and that a
total absence ot water is the actual
condition. Mr. Kirbv severely criti
cises those people who for mer
cenary reasons have circulated false
reports as to the extent of the
drought and famine and characterize it
as almost criminal for parties interested
in the sale of wild lands, ranch property
and the advancement of railroad town
site interest in West Texas to belittle the
feartul state of affairs by contradicting
reports sent to metropolitan papers
which in scarcely an instance he says
have been overdrawn. Dallas will iur
nish all tbe aid she can at the earliest
possible moment to the people Mr. Kirby
comes to plead for.
MADE WHOLE BY PRAYER.
Another Well Attested Case of
Faith Cure.
Indianapolis, Sept. B.—Again a re
markable case of cure by faith in prayer is
reported from Anderson, to which is at
tached a physician’s certificate. Mrs.
Larina Simpson says:
Four years ago I became prostrated
with heart trouble, and an abscess was
formed on my right side. All the time
my health was getting poorer, and acting
on tbe recommendation of my physi
cian, Dr. P. S. Adams, 1 left
Dayton and moved to Yorktown,
Delaware county, about a year ago.
I was there treated by Dr. E. C. Riggs,
who told me that 1 would never recover.
I took medicine all the while, but tailed
to receive relief. 1 would oiten have
three or lour attacks of heart disease in a
day. I was compelled to have an attend
ant with me wherever I went. My pulse
one minute would be perlecilv natural,
and the next would probably be IDS or
even higher. 1 would become cold and
lifeless, with apparently no circulation of
Dlood through my system. Never was 1
free from pain until one night I arose and
prayed to God to restore me to health, or
give me religion to die bv, and tuen im
mediately all pain left me, and all of a
sudden a supernatural light filled
my room and 1 could see
the dial ol the clock aud note the time.wihle
to ordinary sight my room was in perfect
darkness. From that time to this 1 have
bad no recurrence of the disease, and I
believe lam a sound, healthy woman.
Tue color is coming back to my face,
where bi-fore my features were pinched,
pale and colorless. I have not had a spell
ot heart disease since July 21, and I be
lieve the cure was effected in answer to
my prayer lor health.”
Her physician. Dr. E, C. Riggs, was in
terviewed in reference to the above, and
corroborated Airs. Simpson’s story
throughout. He adoed that her case was
the worst he ever contended with. Airs.
Simpson is a married lady, 27 years old,
aud of attractive appearance.
AN ARKANSAS IDEA.
A Proposition for a Mammoth Min
strel Company.
Little Hock, Sept. B.—A novel propo
sition has been made to Capt. James K.
Miller, lessee ol the Arkansas State peni
tentiary, by an enthusiastic Individual
who Is confident that he has a scheme by
which every person connected with tbe
prison can acquire all tbe wealth thev
will need lor the balance of their days,
and iu addition to this he believes that
money enough can be made out of the en
terprise to pay off the public debt of Ar
kansas. Ho is a well-known citizen of
Little Hock, who has spont the greater
part of his existence in trying to evolve
from his brain surne scheme that
would bring a return of un
told millions to himself and friends
whom he might solicit to assist hint iu
carrying out tho project. It is tbe pur
pose of this enthusiast to organize a
main moth minstrel show ol' 100 convict,
member* and take them through thecoun
try and give regular minstrel perform
ances, the members of this company to
still retain their convict suits and to oe
billed as tbe Great Arkansas Convict
Minstrel Show ol 100 members, it i*a
notorious laetthat there are a great num
ber ol musical geniuses confined iu the
pen and also that the forming of
such a combination, as suggested by
the above, is quite feasible, vet
the convict laws of the State
would first have to undergo such modi
fication by a legislative body that even a
Philadelphia lawyer would not recognize
them as ever having related to “confine
ment lor crime,” should he meet them in
the course ot his travels. Capt. Miller
Informed your correspondent that while
be bad no doubt radical changes wou and

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1886.
GEHOMMO AND HIS BAND.
How They were I’raetically Made
Pri.-tiners by (apt. 1 awton.
From the .Vow York lie "hi.
Tombstonk, A. TANARUS., Sept. s.—Advices
received trom the front say that further
particulars concerning the position ot
Geronimo and bis band are that about
two weeks ago Capt. Lawton, who was
encamped near San Bernardino, was in
formed by scouts that Geronimo was sig
nalling from a mountain peak in tbe dis
tance, and that he desired to have a talk.
Capt. Lawton sent two of the scouts into
the camp of the bostiles in order to ascer
tain definitely what Geronimo proposed,
'they returned the following day bringing
word that Geronimo wished to see Gen.
Allies and have a talk with him. Answer
was returned that Lawton would imme
diately dispatch a courier to intorm the
General.
A LONG PARLEY.
This parleying was kept up for a num
ber of days, the bostiles becoming more
impatient and anxious. Capt. Lawton
meanwhile was in frequent communica
iton with Gen. Miles. In lact.it is stated
that the arrival and departure of couriers
was of almost hourly occurrence. Finally,
Geronimo. who had nersistentlv remained
south of the line, consented to change his
camp, and moved norlh to a place some
twelve miles this side of the border.
IN GERONIMO’B HEAR.
Capt. Lawton Immediately ordered
several detachments of troops, which
were stationed not far distant, to get in
the rear of the hostiles. I bis was done
without exciting their alarm. Geronimo
still clamored for an interview with Gen.
Miles, but as yet received no definite
answer as to when and where an inter
view could be had. On Wednesday last,
however, Capt. Lawton thought that the
proper time had come to bring ne
gotiations or parleying to a
close. Accordingly be sent word to
Geronimo that if he wanted to talk to
Gen. Miles he must seek an interview at
Fort Howie. Tbe Captain thought that
very likely the hostiles would make a
break when Gen. Miles’ ultimatum was
delivered, and bad taken every precaution
to capture or kill them should they do so;
Dut they made no aiteniot of any kind.
Natchez, who is with the hostile band,
was at once in favor of going to Fort
Bowie, and Geronimo, evidently realizing
that all was lost, soon yielded.
LAWTON’S STRATEGY.
A start was made on Thursday morn
ing, and the ever vigilant Lawton put yet
another barrier between the savages aDd
liberty. He placed other detachments of
troops in their rear, and in such a posi
tion that if the savages should repent
their determination and seek to regain
their haunts south of the line they would
find only capture or death facing them.
It is believed that no attempt at escape
will be made by tbe bostiles. They are
nearly out of ammunition, and many of
them are entirely naked, owing to the
four momhs pursuit so vigorously main
tained by Lawton and his gallant com
mand.
Notwithstanding all reports, Geronimo
is not wounded, nor has he been during
the campaigu, Capt. Lawton has exer
cised the greatest vigilance over the
scouts in his command. He always has
a dark suspicion of treachery on tbeir
part. Tbeir cartridges were counted to
them and they were ordered to return the
shells under penalty ot death for disobe
dience or tailure. the bostiles were ex
pected to arrive at Fort Bowie this morn
ing, where they were to be met by Gen.
Miles.
AN UNKNOWN AVENGER.
Flo Johnston’s Suicide and the
Death of Her Seducer.
From the Cincinnati Commercial- Gaeette %
Early in the spring a great sensation
was caused in Jamestown, 0., by the sui
cide of Miss Flo Johnston, a handsome
young lady of good family, who killed
herself with an old army musket, firing
the load into her head. The same day she
bad been to BarnesviMe, about six miles
from Jamestown, and bad called on a
young man named James Zolner, with
whom she had been keening company for
some time, and demanded that he make
good bis promise to marry her, and on Ze
ner refusing she drew a revolver and tired
at him, the shot not taking effect. Tne
young man wrestled with her anti secured
the weapon anil persuaded her to go
home. On the way to her father’s house
she passed a pond, and was evidently
contemplating drowning herself, but was
prevented by the appearance of some
men; but soou after reachiug home she
accomplished her object, living several
hours after shooting herself, ana sending
for Zeiner, wno refused to come to her.
Excitement over tbe affair was intense,
and the girl having many friends in the
vicinity, Zelner concluded to go elsewhere
for awhile. Tnreats were made that he
would be put out of the way if he ever
showed up again in the village.
On Tuesday evening he paid a visit to
the village, and between 8 and 9 o’clock
went to the Cummings Hotel. Goingin'o
the parlor, he sat down on the sofa with
Miss Cummings and another young latlv,
and at about 9:15 some person on the out
side, who had been watching Zeiner’s
movements, discharged both barrels of a
j shotgun, loaded with heavy slugs, through
the window, the charges striking him be
! tween the waist and neck, filling his body
full of slugs, one or two of them striking
him in the head. Ills death was in
stant. The body rolled from tbe
sofa, and the floor of the room
was covered with blood. The screams ot
the girls who were with him aroused the
people in the neighborhood, and soon tbe
majority of the inhabitants ot the village
were gathered around the house. Word
was sent to Jamestown, whore the par
ents, brothers and sisters of Zeiner re
side. and tbe father, who is an under
! taker, made preparations for conveying
I the body borne to his house, from where
! the funeral will take place. Interment to
be in tbe Jamestown cemetery, the same
place where the remains ol his victim, the
unfortunate Flora Johnston, arc laid.
There is a great mysterv about the at
fair, and no person has any idea who the
person was who did the shooting.
THE SPOILS OE WAR.
Sonic of the Valuables in tlie Treas
ury Awaiting Ownership.
/Vsm ths I Ynthlnjt'<n PnKt,
The Treasury officials have considered
an inventory of the articles of jewelry,
silverware, portraits, watches, etc.,wn ch
were captured by the United States army
during the oivil war and deposited in the
Treasury. They are all packed in two
large wooden boxes, the first of which
contains about 500 watches and a num
ber Of knives, pocket-books and two
drafts. None ot the watches nre very valu
able. having been taken from prisoners of
war who died in hospital. Tile other box,
is. however, full of very valuable jewelry,
etc. Tbe gold is all of tho host quality,
and the stones with which a number ’ot
Hie articles are set are very beautiful.
An exceedingly handsome set, niustot toe
pieces of which bear the name M. V. Me
nu. to whom they were a Christmas pres
ent in 1850, consists of most exquisitely
cut cameos, surrounded bv valuable
nearls and set in pure native gold. It
oonsists of a bracelet, brooch and earring,
and must have cost considerably wbeu
bought.
A pasteboard box marked“MfssMolta,
from M. Dina,” is filled with & number of
articles of jewelry, consisting of pins of
all kinds, some set with precious stones,
and some delicately chased; valuable
rings and a gold buckle for tbe waist.
Another box of much the sumo size cou-
tained rings, fob chains, gold pencils and
some gold p ns, while a ibird, in the con
dition of its contents, nearly all-of which
were broken, gives evidence of tbe great
baste with wbicb the things had been
gathered together alter a sudden alarm.
There are also some seals beauti
fully graven with heraldic devi
ces, and one of the most curious
things in ibe collection is an old-fashioned
English bull’s-eye gold watch with its
crystal about one-nuaner of an inch
thick. “p. Mcßr” is scratched on the
back of this chronometer, while the mono
gram “C. A. S.” is engraved on tbe out
side of the ease. Ibe name “Alcßa” ap
pears also on a number of lockets and
rings, and it is believed that wnen tbe
Alcßa family bave put in their claim and
taken out all that belongs them, there
will be but one-tenth of the articles left.
A wooden box containing 6evera! strings
of coral beads and other things evidently
belongs to Anna C. Hayward.
A number of the rings aud brooches
contain hair. Among the portraits are
several daguerrotvpes and one ambro
type. One of these’ pictures represents a
severe old gentleman in continental uni
form. Of the stones, except the diamonds,
probnblytbe finest is a large yellow to
paz of beautiful color and as clear as
crystal.
A WONDERFUL REGION.
A Laud Rich in Deposits of Gold
and Coal.
A Lander ( Wyoming) letter in the San
Francisco Call of Aug. 9 says: A pros
pector, hunter and trapper, who has spent
many moons in the great Rocky Moun
tain chain, and who has lately visited
the portion of the Snake river range about
which so many dazzling reports are in
circulation, Has just been interviewed by
the writer. The old prospector tells a
notable tale. He savs that the reports
scarcely do justice to tbe reality,
and that the oil fields, gold mints,
copper veins and coal beds ot the section
are exhaustless. Tne region is a spur ol
the Snake mountains proper, and lies be
tween the waters of the Upper Snake
river aril those towering peaks called on
the m i'l the Grand Tetons. The section
comprises a number ot mountains in de
tached groups, steep, high and rugged to
look at and to ascend, but on whose sum
mits are Invariably found rough plateaus,
well timbered and of considerable area.
These plateaus are the scene of the recent
discoveries.
Everywhere over these rough table
lands breaks forth oil in both springs and
lakes. The latter apparently sipes from
the soil and fills depressions and spreads
over flat surfaces. The springs are of
almost every variety. They bubble, spout,
well, and flow steadily and regularly.
The characteristics of the oil fields are
phenomenal. Every lake and every spring
has an outlet, and these outlets flow tor
various distances, and are then suddenly
swallowed up by tbe earth. There is no
apparent cause for these invariably start
ling disappearances. No cavity in the
ground exists, not even a depression can
be seen, but all at once tbe oil stream Is
lost to sight. There can be only one ex
planation, and that is that tbe whole oil
region is underlaid by an immense oil
lake, and that the oil-flow3 on the surface
nave hidden and secret communications
therewith.
Tne gold of the region comprises both
quartz and placer deposits. The rough
tablelands are seamed with huge rocky
ledges prolific of free milling quarlz. At
the bases ot these ledges and in the re
cesses jetting their sides are pockets of
loose earth, in which are found in abun
dance small nueget6 and shot and flower
gold. These placer deposits have all the
characteristics both in soil and product of
tbe famous pockets ot the Aliners’ Delight,
South Pass and Atlantic regions, wnieh
gave them their name, and in the palmy
days of discovery yielded hundreds ol
thousands of dollars.
The coal beds are wide and deep. The
tablelands are tbe homes of innumerable
streams flowing through terrific moun
tain canyous and gorges to mingle with
tbe rushing waters ot the Snake river.
Old prospectors know of routes by which
tne centre of this region can be reached
with a wagon road, and the developments
of these marvelous fields of gold, oil and
coal cannot long oe delayed-
Mrs. A. T. Stewart at 70.
Fr<‘in th Chiaiyo In'er-Ocean.
Saratoga, Sept. I.—Toad and I spent
yesterday morning staring at Mrs. A. T.
Stewart’s Saratoga grandeur, prepara
tory to the Hilton lawn patty. Forget
everything you ever read of her, and
here’s a life size, full-lencth portrait. To
begin at the baptism, she is 76, but as
youthful as 50in looks and actions. Her
eyes are blue and keen, her ears are be
ginning to be treacherous, but she is not
too sensitive to pretend that she bears
when such is not the case. You will be
surprised to know that she has a touch of
goitre, an old, old malady, and all her
collars button up close under her oar tips.
Worth makes all her gowns, aud the onlv
direction bo ever receives is “high
necked.” Her suite at the Grand Union
includes a dozen of the choicest rooms on
the first floor, immediately over the office,
fronting on Broadway, and commanding
either end of tne piazza on that thorough
fare. The mistress is a zealot on the sub.
ject of mirrors, and French plate abounds
in every room. In her chamber there is a
mirror over the dressing case, one over
the toilet table, a long giaos between the
windows, a standing bonnet glass set in
a revolving silver lrame, and a full-length
levelled panel in her neglige wardrobe,
hand glasses and mouth ralt
rors oAill size and shape in her toilet
case.
At 11:30 a. m. and 5 p. m. her victoria
is In waiting, and she drives an hour or
so, unless tbe weather is threatening.
Mrs. Wetherell accompanies her. She
has no pets, no lap robes, and no valet.
Her bats are usually white, her gowns
net or India silk, her parasols white lace,
and her lace well veiled with dotted lace
or gauze. She is frequently seen on the
garden piazza at the morning concert,
hut rather shuns society. At the Hilton
lawn party yesterday Mrs. Btewart wore
a mauve satin reception toilet covered
With a princess robe of cobweb black
lace. The pattern was a bell flower, and
in the cup of each blossom was a small
tassel of black jet slum Hating the stamens
and fairly bewildering tbe eyes with their
lustre. At her throat was n row of big
white diamonds set in a lace pin, aud her
lace corsage ornament was a Greek cross
four inches long, invisibly set in sockets
of gold that wete as far apart as the
diameter of the stent's. There is no tell
ing vvbat tho jewel was werib, but It was
the finest ornament 1 ever saw. She
wore several bracelets set with diamonds,
but the most magnificent was a circle of
rose-cut brilliants from which were
bangles of garnet, ruby, sapphire, tur
quoise and emeralds, each a single stone
tbo size of a gooseberry, surrounded with
small brilliants. Her bonnet was made
of whllo thread lace, tied with lace
strings, and she wore black gloves.
