Tiffany & Co. have been ordered by the Congressional Committee to make the sword which is to be presented by the Government to Admiral Dewey. The committee consisted of Senator Lodge, Assistant Secretary of the Navy Allen and Prof Johnson, of the Naval Academy. A marked characteristic of the design selected is its simple and solid elegance. The hilt of the sword shows a plain and solid but highly-traced gold handle. The blade is ‘“Damaskeened,” One side of the blade bears the inscription: “The gift of the Nation to Rear-Admiral George Dewey, U. S. N., in memory of the victory at Manila Bay, May 1st, 1898." The scabbard is of dark blue “Damaskeened”" metal, with tracery of gold.

Rough Rider Lieutenant Tiffany Dead

Lieutenant William Tiffany, of New York, son of the well-known family, and famous for his service throughout the Santiago campaign with Roosevelt’s Rough Riders, died at the Parker House, Boston, Mass., on August 25th. Lieutenant Tiffany was seized with fever in Cuba after Santiago’s surrender. When the Rough Riders sailed for Montauk he was left in the hospital, but later came North on the Olivette and landed in Boston. He seemed to improve for a few days, but suddenly changed for the worse, and all efforts to save his life were unavailing. Columbia sheds a tear over the grave of the young patriot-soldier.

DEATH OF WILLIAM H. BROWN

New York Jeweler Dies Suddenly from Attack of Heart Trouble

William Hori Brown, for many years head of the repair department of Tiffany & Co., New York, died suddenly March 8 at 4:30 p. M. at his home, 306 W. 94th St. Mr. Brown had been walking briskly and after he reached home he sat down when suddenly his heart gave out.

William Hori Brown was born Aug. 4, 1847 in Massachusetts, but passed most of his life in New York city. He learned the jewelry business from his father, who was a well-known jeweler of his time. He was with his father at Sixth Ave. and 14th St. and was taken into the business a time before his father’s retirement. Later he became associated with Tiffany & Co., and remained with that house for many years.

Deceased is survived by his widow, Sarah A. Brown, and by two sons, William H. and Russell.

The funeral was held March 11 at the home and was private. The interment was in Greenwood Cemetery.

Mr. Brown was a member of the Sons of the Revolution and of the Seventh Regiment Veterans’ Association. He was also at one time a member of the Old Guard. He took a great interest in the work of patriotic societies and was active for many years in that work.

Charles T. Grosjean

Charles T. Grosjean, of Tiffany & Co., died on February 23d, at Hamilton, Bermuda, whither he had gone in quest of rest and a change from the busy life in the silverware factory of his firm. He was forty-seven years of age, and learned the silversmith’s trade with his father, of the late firm of Grosjean & Woodward. He soon made his mark and became very adept in his art. He was admitted into his father’s firm, and about twenty years ago was offered a position with Tiffany & Co. as superintendent of the silverware branch of their business. He was very devoted to his art, in which he achieved distinction, being spoken of as one of the best living decorators of silver. He overworked himself, however, and when his physician got him to consent to go to Bermuda it was already too late, and he died two days after landing there. His remains were brought to New York for interment.

Tiffany & Co. last Thursday filed an answer in a suit for $125,000, brought by Miss Emma Sully, wife of Daniel J. Sully, to recover damages because, it is alleged, the jewelers wrongfully disposed of a number of pieces of jewelry, consisting of a marquise diamond ring, a diamond crescent, a diamond bowknot, a diamond necklace, an emerald, diamond and pearl pendant and an emerald and diamond pendant. The answer says that in 1904, when Sully was in bankruptcy, Tiffany & Co. had a claim of $110,000 against him. It was suggested by the creditors that Mrs. Sully had certain property transferred to her by her husband by fraud, and that this property should be taken by the creditors. To forestall this action it is alleged that Mrs. Sully arranged to buy up the claims, and she got the claim of Tiffany & Co. in exchange for the jewelry mentioned in the suit.
