The new firm of Herbert K.

Handsome mahogany fixtures, plate glass mirrors and a thoroughly upto-date equipment in other respects attract the eye of the visitor. Arrangements are now being perfected for the erection of the handsomest display signs in the city, to cost $3,500. A long lease of the building will enable the lessees to keep abreast of the times in improvements. The second floor is to be devoted entirely to a manufacturing department, which will be one of the most elaborately fitted in the city. An elevator will eventually be installed connecting all the floors and enabling the upper floors to be utilized for the display of silver, cut glass and clocks. Associated with Mr. Smith, who has been vice-president and general manager of White Bros, for eight years, there are several other men of repute in their respective lines,prominently among whom are Nelson P. Lambert, who for 11 years was secretary of White Bros., and Otto H. Ahten, connected with William Frantz & Co. for 12 years, and three years treasurer of White Bros. H. W.

TOKEN COINS SEIZED
Federal Agent Visits New Orleans Jeweler, Buys Souvenirs and Hales Jeweler to Court
New Orleans, La., Jan. 26.–Isadore Antis, jeweler at 930 Canal St., had a no less distressing than remarkable experience the other day. For years Mr. Antis has been carrying in stock quite a supply of what is known to the trade as "coin" or "token" souvenirs, bought from a dealer in Los Angeles, Cal. These coins are of about 10 karat gold, and while in some respects they resemble United States money, are very much lighter–not being thicker than an ordinary sheet of paper–and the inscription and image thereon very different to the image and inscription on government coin. They are, however, marked in demoninations of $1, 50 cents and 25 cents; and for that reason and because of their resemblance in other respects to United States coin, the Federal government has prohibited traffic in them, a fact with which Mr. Antis was not acquainted until he paid $10 the other day for the information.
Last week a well dressed gentleman after inspecting some of these very attractive coins as displayed in Mr. Antis' show window, walked into Mr. Antis' store and bought two of them, paying one dollar for one and fifty cents for the other. Nothing was said then but two days later the customer called again at Mr. Antis' store, displayed his official badge, that of a United States government agent, carried away with him all the coins or tokens in the jeweler's stock, telling him he would send for him in a day or two. In other words, Mr. Antis was under arrest for having in his possession 29 souvenir tokens, or coins, of the denomination of $1; 43 of 50 cents; and 76 of 25 cents denomination.
In the United States Court before which Mr. Antis was summoned, he pleaded ignorance of any law prohibiting the sale of the coins or tokens in question; said he had bought them in good faith and with no intent of fraud; that he had been selling them for years and that nothing had at any time been said or intimated either by the federal, State or city authorities to indicate that he was violating a United States statute. He thought in the circumstances he should not be made to suffer for his act, but Judge Foster of the United States Circuit Court thought differently; thought it was necessary to make an example of somebody and as he, Mr. Antis, had been caught in the act of disposing of these coins or tokens, he must suffer; and thereupon he assessed a fine of $10 against the jeweler.
It is said other jewelers carried a stock of these tokens or coins but quickly put them out of sight when Mr. Antis was haled into court.
Mr. Antis was given to understand that the case of the Los Angeles manufacturer would be looked into and that Mr. Antis need not pay the Los Angeles man, if he had not already done so, for the coins or tokens seized. As Mr. Antis had not already settled for them he is relieved to that extent.

Only recently Gross was detected in an attempt to escape from the Parish Prison, using a rope fashioned of blankets from the bunk in his cell. He was grabbed while making an effort to scale a 22-foot wall.

WALDHORN & Co.
343, Royal Street, New Orleans
In the big show window of Waldhorn's establishment, 343 Royal St., among many beautiful things, is to be seen an especially unique specimen of vanity box, or antique make-up receptacle, which is just now attracting much attention. This box, which is of 20 karat gold, measures two and one eighth inches in length; in width, one and five-eighths of an inch; three-quarters of an inch in depth, and weighs 65 pennyweights, or three and one-quarter ounces. The box is of the Louis XVI period–date 1776, the year of the Declaration of American Independence. Exteriorly, it presents an exquisite appearance, being beautifully hand chased, with rich relief work in green gold. The face of the lid is surrounded by an oblong border of laurel leaves and roses, most artistically executed. In the center rises a column, from the top of which flame is issuing. At one side of the column is a basket of flowers with a bow-knot top. Within the box is a compartment for the rouge, also a brush with a gold handle, the lid serving as a background for the mirror, and the bottom, which likewise contains a mirror, is spaced for the powder.

There is on exhibition in the show window of Waldhorn & Co., 343 Royal St., a very beautiful solid silver vase, weighing over 400 ounces. It is of the grape and vine design, and of the early Victorian period. It was evidently the property of an English nobleman, being surmounted by a crown with a monogram executed in such an involved and complicated manner that it is impossible to make it out. There is also a motto in Latin, reading: Semper mota fides, the latter inscribed on the base of the vase. The base is of exquisitely chaste silver, as is every part of this beautiful vase. Vines with clusters of grapes are in profusion all over it, and the handles are made in the form of twisted vines. It has two linings, one of red, and the other of white glass. The vase, including its base, measures 23 inches in height. The same firm, also, has an exquisite bronze, once forming part of the Thomas B. Lawson collection, entitled, the "Watchers," by Anna V. Hyatt. The figures, a pair of lions, are in a crouched position upon a huge rock, their powerful muscles outlined beneath their hides. The circumstances that tends to render this bronze of additional value is that it was one of the first castings of Anna V. Hyatt's famous "Animal Group."

343, Royal Street, New Orleans
In the big show window of Waldhorn's establishment, 343 Royal St., among many beautiful things, is to be seen an especially unique specimen of vanity box, or antique make-up receptacle, which is just now attracting much attention. This box, which is of 20 karat gold, measures two and one eighth inches in length; in width, one and five-eighths of an inch; three-quarters of an inch in depth, and weighs 65 pennyweights, or three and one-quarter ounces. The box is of the Louis XVI period–date 1776, the year of the Declaration of American Independence. Exteriorly, it presents an exquisite appearance, being beautifully hand chased, with rich relief work in green gold. The face of the lid is surrounded by an oblong border of laurel leaves and roses, most artistically executed. In the center rises a column, from the top of which flame is issuing. At one side of the column is a basket of flowers with a bow-knot top. Within the box is a compartment for the rouge, also a brush with a gold handle, the lid serving as a background for the mirror, and the bottom, which likewise contains a mirror, is spaced for the powder.

There is on exhibition in the show window of Waldhorn & Co., 343 Royal St., a very beautiful solid silver vase, weighing over 400 ounces. It is of the grape and vine design, and of the early Victorian period. It was evidently the property of an English nobleman, being surmounted by a crown with a monogram executed in such an involved and complicated manner that it is impossible to make it out. There is also a motto in Latin, reading: Semper mota fides, the latter inscribed on the base of the vase. The base is of exquisitely chaste silver, as is every part of this beautiful vase. Vines with clusters of grapes are in profusion all over it, and the handles are made in the form of twisted vines. It has two linings, one of red, and the other of white glass. The vase, including its base, measures 23 inches in height. The same firm, also, has an exquisite bronze, once forming part of the Thomas B. Lawson collection, entitled, the "Watchers," by Anna V.
