York, make the quickest time between
here. Philadelphia, Baltimore and

R. R. of New Jersey station boat‘ of
Liberty street at 11:30 a. m. 1:00 p. m.
and 3:00 p. in. South Ferry boat of
\Nhitehall street. 5 minutes earlier.
The latter train is known as the "Royal
Blue Limited,” composed entirely .of
parlor and dining cars that were built
especially for this service by the Pull-
man Palace Car Company. and are con-
ceded to be the finest specimens of the
car builder’s art turned out in modern
times. A general change of time on
the Royal Blue Line occurred Novem-
ber 20th. involving other fast trains
throng h to Philadelphia.Baltimore and
Washington.

“Put Mcridcn down as a Hawley
town in all calculations that are made,”

part tI'Iat leaves Washington at the

A perusal of their announce-
ment ‘is sure to be of interest to all
those who like to have good reliable
clothing without payingexhorbitant
prices for it. In these days when money
is somewhat scarce and when every
dollar counts, it is of the deepest inter-
est to economical people to know where
they can buy the right kind of goods at
the most reasonable prices, and the
Messrs. Brill have rightly conjectured
that there are many such people in the
thriving suberbs as well as in the me-
tropolis proper. To reach these classes
they advertise in the suburban news-
papers. For the holiday season it is ~
particularly desirable to know where.
appropriate presents for father, hus-
band, son or lover may be obtained for
a comparatively small out-lay. Please
notice that Brill Bros. have four Stores

Connecticut in the Cabinet.
Secretary of the Interior Bliss is
about to resign and some of the friends
of John Addison Porter believe he is
as well qualified for the position as any
man who could be selected. Mr. Por-
ter is greatly admired by the Presi-
dent and it is agreed that Major Mc-
Kinley would be aiding his cabinet in
doing this graceful act for his private
secretary. Connecticut. too, it is
urged. would appreciate the c0mpli~
ment.
Secretary Bliss is a New Yorker so,
that, territorial considerations could
not set up as an obstacle to Mr. Porter‘s
selection. He is familiar with the
duties of the office «and has shown him-
self-to he possessed of the executive
ability to handl’c its affair Connecti-

A Description of Their" Splendor Beadiv
Like a. Fairy Tale.
A writer in the Illustrated Magazine
says: Who has not heard of the Per-
sian jewels—their glory, their num-
ber, their priceless worth? When the
doors were unlocked and I was taken
into the peacock throne room I found
myself surrounded by a mass of
wealth unequalled in the world. No-
where are such Treasures, but nowhere
also is there such an accumulation of
rubbish.
rubbish and refer only to the treas-
ures. Down each side of the room
were chairs
sheeted gold, and at intervals there
were tables of gold nailed, and I shud-
dered to note, with the commonest of
black headed tacks.
At the far end of the room was the
wonder of the world, the peacock
throne. Whether it is one of the
seven thrones of the great Mogul and
was brought from Delhi, I don’t know,
but it is certainly tflhe most costly or-
nament that 'the eye can look upon.
I inspected it most carefully. It is en—
tirely of silver, a great camp-bed
structure, but [modeled in lovely de-
signs. It is encrusted from end to
end and from top to bottom with dia-
monds.
At the back is a star of brilliants
that makes you blink. The rug on
which the 'shaah sits is edged with
precious stones, and the pillow on
which he reclines is covered with
pearls. I Could keep on writing about
the dazzling beauty of the throne of.
the king of kings, but I never could
get beyond declaring it to be a superb '
jewel.
But although the peacock throne is
the magnum opus of the Persian
crown jewels, it 'by no means extin-
guishes the magnificence of the other
treasures. Who can attempt, '-howe :—
er, to recount the number 0 bejewel-
ed arms, the royal arms, flashing
aigrets, the trays piled up with cut
and uncut stones and the bowls filled
with pearls that you can run through
your fingers like a handful of rice?
Every one has heard of the Daria—l-
Nur, or Sea of Light, sister—diamond
of the Kohinoor, or Mountain of
Light. Every one 'has
about the Globe of the World, made of
seventy—live pounds of pure gold and
51,326 gemsdthe sea of emeralds, Per—
sia of turquoises, India of nl‘mithysts,
Africa of rubies, England and France
of diamonds.
