Mrs. Isman heraelf dgpa not know tt. Tiffany's, who handled the mattet, promised -3he' girl they would Sever tell any one. The girl gave good* reasons tor her wish. She said If It were known she had such a sum her life would be made a burden to her, and as large as her fortune was, H would not prove big enough to go around. .. "I'm going to think of my moth er," she said. Then the promise "Wan made. The girl is In her teens,* vtgry, poor, lives oh Second avenue, aqd has!] to ( maintain herself and her. mother by her work. "I had beeiftaking tea with frlen3tf at Delmonlco's." she said, "and was walking home along Fifth avenue. I recollected I had to phone to some one, and I went into s call station. This was about half-past six last Fri day evening. ."While 1 Was phoning I noticed the reflection of my throat in the bright nickel disk of the instrument and I saw that my necklace was gone. Search Falls, Almost Faints. "I dropped the receiver and search- ! ed my dress rapidly. Then a feeling 1 of sickness came over me. I sank ; Into the chair and nearly fainted. "As quickly as I was sble I hurried back over my steps, but found noth ing. I went to Delmonlco's; they searched everywhere. Nothing. .I| went to the police. They showed me over the new building, explained the Rogues' Gallery to me, gave me some good advice about not paying money In advance to anybody who might say he could get me my -pearly- for a price, aif<l assured me my pearls and .^-jne-tfad parted for keeps. No one, - . the} said, would risk parting with such si necklace In America, but would make straight to Europe with It, and it would pay them well to go. Then I went to Tiffany's, and Tilf ' any's thought there was Just a chance, if I offered a big enough re gard, but they were half afraid that $2, Ogg would not be enough. And so the advertisement went Into Sun day'* World. > Glad He|rs Cornea to Her. "When yesterday morning -came and no news, I gave up all hope; my only consolation was to <5Ty over the empty eaee.

She said ahe found them between Forty-seventh and Forty-sixth streets aa she was walking home from work, between half- past tlx and 7 o'clock. < "Thepegrla appear to have been a sore temptation to her; and the temp tation, ahe said, became m?ett harder When she saw the advertisement of the M.&Og reward. At last she went to her doctor and asked his advice. The poor girl! I can well understand how she fait. Oh,. I wo$d hate to ffn4 g necklaoe of peirls like that!

N. a. Jm3CT lWU. ru row to * request (ran the frovi <??$? Journal. Governor Kltchln last ?t<ht Dim tn?t paper th? following sUtament relative to the taul of the But. of RJiode island ^ the at^t. of Hojrtli Carolina for payment of certain repudiated bonds: < "During the reconstruction era fol lowing the war between the States, many millions of bonds were Issued in Oh name of North Carolina. Some were honest, some were fraudulent. The State, bjr the conduct of those who controlled It then, was cumbered with a staggering, debt, much of which waa fraudulent and only proflt nd Ulnae who phi Tillered. "K commission .of honest and able men, 'after the most careful Investi gation. reported to the legislature a baals of settlement embodied In the J.87?, Our Indebtedneea waa particularly divided Into ? The flrat 'three classes were to be paid" upon a. compromise basis. Some tow creditors refused to accept the com promise, among these were the hold ers of what became known ae?the Shafer bonds ? a part of which South Dakota accepted, resulting In the suifeagalnst Worth Carolina, fa which the United States Supreme Court, by a hare majority, held in faror of South Dakota. ^ "The fourth class, known as the 'Special Tax Bonds,' were not to be paid at all. Our constitution, article 1. 6, declares these bonds ? specifying the a?isui?der which they~were Issued ? shall not be paid nnlesjf ratified by a majority ot-tbe qualified voters of the State. . vf "The State has always been willing to pay the bonds of the first three classes In accordance with the- Just tertas of the legislature of.l 8 79, and roost of those bonds have been paid, the creditors generally appreciates Justice of the settlement, pro posed. ^ , "The bonds, of thte fourth clsss ha^e n6t been paid and will not be P*td without ratifies don bv the peo * f* U jWMA'iiai the people Mir never ratify them, as they were 'conceived In sin and brought forth In Iniquity.' . "For years the holders of these bonds have been hawking them about the country trying to give foreign 8tates a sop ^o sue a sister State. Acts of leglslsture* have been secured authorising the acceptance by States of gifts that had for their basis, to the Ignorance of many legislators, the desire on the part of the bondholders to donate a part of tlTese fraudulent bonds for the mere purpose of having North Carolina harassed by litigation In the hope that fear thereof would drive the State fnto paying unjust bonds. Great States like New York and Michigan, and probably others, have had the opportunity of such gifts and with a high sense of pro priety declined them. My inform^, tlon Is that thousands of South Da kota's best cltliQps regret her action? Great States, like* great Individuals, should refuse gifts tainted with sin ister purposes, even though .needly circumstances confront them. How much more should wealthy. Indepen dent, high spirited people spurn such proffered opportuiiltles to sue a sov e reign State to aid the ulterior pur poses of those who give to gsin, who extend an offering with the left that they may reap with the right hand. I *111 not criticise Rhode Islsnd, for I believe when full Information is dlscloeed it will be seen that her peo ple have been duped as were ours when the fraudulent bonds were ne gotiated. If she has acted with full informattotr, It merely shows how dif ferently great people may view a matter from different standpoints. "North Carolina la willing and able to pay .hqr Just debts. She is no pauper. She Is great aad rich and in creasing her wealth every year. She is going forward In every line of In dustry with rapid strides. Her peo ple will regret litigation with her sister State, Rhode Island, to whom she never made a debt, but she will to the utmost of her ability, rsalst ?v*ry effort on the part of any to com pel her to pay the 'Special Tax Bonda* " RRCTOR IWWHPO?KT).
