TOO MANY JEWELS.
The Use and Abuse of Jewelry Naromake’s
Subject To-day.
other day when a very pretty girl
stepped in and took a seat beside me.
She was unusually dainty in physical
outline yet the worst possible form.
This surprising and apparently con;
tradictory condition can be explained
by the fact that it was her apparel and
ornamentation that resulted in such a
deplorable state of affairs.
Let me describe her lest you think
me prejudicel always in favor of the
social elect and see if I have been one
whit too scathing in my condemnation.
Her skirt was a black and white
striped silk with black net ruffles. She
wore a turquoise blue silk shirt waist,
. an amazing hat of pale blue, with
white plumes, diamond earrings, and
final horror, 3. diamond sunburst in a
white pique tie.
me to write as I am doing against the
misuse or, more correctly speaking, the
abuse of jewelry. ‘
I have seen within the last few
days half a. dozen women in gingham
morning frocks wearing bracelets in
which diamonds, rubies and sapphires
were used with such prodigality as to
make the baubles appropriate :for the
most ceremonious occasion.. I have
seen gold chatelaines loaded With
priceless baubles worn on the golf
links. I have seen, and this last was
the absolute culmination of a. deprav-
ed taste, a string of real pearls worn to
breakfast.
No one admires or covets these lovely
things more than I do, yet I love them
only in their place and when they are
vulgarly displayed, when they would
be much i better out of sight, their
beauty and significance are quite lost
not only upon me, but upon all whose
innate refinement abhors a display that
suggcfsts the tawdry and the trivial.
I'write in a spiritiof friendly warning

car and others who are tempted to
wear their jewels, whether the occasion

BRIDGEPORT, June 26,—Jennie L.
Horn, :1. girl 22 years old, was killed by
a fall yesterday morning at the resi-
dence of Frederick Bronson on Green-
field Hill, while she was letting herself
down from a fourth story window by a
slender piece of webbing. Her almost
lifeless body was found at an early hour
lying in the sub-cellar under the win—
dow from which she attempted to leave
the house. ,
She was a strange acting girl and it
2's believed her mind had became un-
balanced. So far as is known there
was no cause for her to attempt suicide
and the circumstances under which
picion that sumide was intended. Her
the Bronson res1dence in secret. but
where she intended to go will remain
a mystery.
Jennie came. to this country from her
home in Germany, it is said, two weeks
ago and went to reside with an aunt
and uncle, Mr. and Mrs. William Wel-
lig, 447 West 41st street. New York.
She sought work in an intelligence
office, was seen by Mrs. Bronson one
day last week and engaged as a cham'a
bermaid at her summer home.

San Juan Victory" Celebrated.
SANTIAGO, Cuba, June 26.——Thfrty-
three cases of yellow fever, with five
deaths, have been officially reported since
the beginning of the present outbreak.
One of the deaths occurred in the Fifth
infantry. The other four fatal cases
were civilians. Captain Fabricius, the
popular medical officer, died yesterday.
For three days the Cubans have been
conducting a patriotic demonstration, the
festival of San Juan, in honor of the vicf
tory won there by the American troops
over the Spaniards. The celebration,
however, has been remarkable for the
absence of the American flag and for the
nonparticipation of the better class of
Cubans themselves. One Spaniard was
nearly killed by the mob.
Saw His Daughter and Died.
CHICAGO. June 26.-—John D. Monell
traveled all the way from Jersey City to
Chicago to see his daughter and also to
take his life. Fifteen minutes after
clasping his daughter in his arms Monell
swallowed the contents of a bottle con,-
taining carbolic acid. which he had
brought with him from Jersey City.
With his dying breath he told his daugh-
ter, Mrs. E. TV. Goulden of 269 Superior
street, that he had brought the poison
with him purposely to end his life after
he had seen her. The‘cause of Monell’s
suicide is a-mystery. He refused to tell
his daughter why he had taken the poi-
son.
