MRS OLIVIA YANCY - DIAMOND SMUGGLER
New York
The adventuress, best known as Mrs. Olivia Yancy, though she has numerous aliases, was a lady of striking appearance, being always dressed in deep mourning, while her pale handsome face and white hair made an unusual contrast to her sable gown. In the spring of last year she landed in New York with a Mongolian holding a grey pelican by a light gold chain. As Mrs. Yancy was apparently a lady of wealth nothing was thought of her strange pet and its keeper, and as pelicans are not upon the tariff lists she was allowed to pass. Since that time the lady has crossed the Atlantic many times, and always carried her pelican with her. On Tuesday last she arrived as usual with the bird, and, having passed the unsuspicious Customs officials, called a carriage and drove away. Since then she has not been heard from. It now appears that Mrs. Yancy was a diamond smuggler, and that the precious stones she brought into the country upon each trip were concealed in the enormous bill of the pelican. The bird carried 30,000 dols. worth of diamonds, being a portion of an order of a Chicago house through a firm of New York importers, who claim to have been ignorant of the manner in which the stones were brought into the country. The Chicago house had advanced 10,000 dols. upon the diamonds, and were to have paid the remaining 20,000 dols. on delivery. The police are now actively searching for the lady and her pelican.

THAT SINKING FEELING!
Siegfried's Bridge, Pennsylvania
The foundations of a house on the farm of John Miller, Northampton Co., Pa., gave way last week and the building sank into the ground to the depth of 10 feet. It was occupied by G. C. Deats, jeweler, of Seigfrieds Bridge. A few days before it commenced to sink subterranean rumblings were heard in the cellar. As soon as the occupants of the house saw that their dwelling was sinking they removed the furniture, which was done through a window in the second story. What caused the structure to sink is not known.

DEATH OF WYLLYS E. DOWD
Pawling, New York
Former Secretary of the Whiting Mfg. Passes Away at Pawling, N. Y.
An old and formerly well known member of the silverware trade passed away Wednesday, when Wyllys E. Dowd, formerly of the Whiting Mfg. Co., died of heart disease at Pawling, N. Y.
Mr. Dowd was a native of Connecticut and was born 64 years ago. He was the son of Dr. Charles Dowd, a noted educator, and head of a seminary at Saratoga Springs, N. Y., who gained fame throughout the country as the man who originated the system of standard time which was later adopted by the railroad companies of the country.
As a young man, Mr. Wyllys Dowd entered the silver business and became connected with the Whiting Mfg. Co. during the time that Charles E. Bulkley was the president of the concern. Mr. Dowd became a director, and for a number of years secretary of the concern, while it was located on Broadway, in the vicinity of Union Sq. where he retired from the company just before the control was taken over by the Silversmiths Co.
In 1877 he married Miss Francis I. Cheseborough of New York. He is survived by his widow and by one son, Wyllys E. Dowd, Jr.

EXHIBITION OF ART METAL WORK
London
At the third exhibition of Art Metal Work, held by the Armourers' and Braziers' Company of London, the industries of Sheffield seem to have been well represented. It is satisfactory to find that the art of saw piercing is not quite extinct, as Mr. J. Garrill, of Sidney Street, has obtained a prize for a picture frame ornamented in that way. Messrs. W. Hutton and Sons take the second prize, £5, for hammered hollow-ware with a very chaste vase, the designer being Samuel Sims Wing. Prizes for blades were also carried off by two other Sheffield competitors, who in the honorary judge's opinion were equal in point of merit.

Messrs. Godwin have recently had on view the complete gold toilet set which they have made for the Khedive Abbas Hilmi. It consists of twenty-seven pieces, some, such as the mirror, the fez stand, hand glass, pincushion, scent bottles, and powder jars, of considerable size. In every position one sees the initials " A.H." intertwined, and surmounted by a royal crown in brilliants, no less than 1,200 stones having been used for the purpose. The chasing of the gold, in the Renaissance style of cupids and scrolls, has been entirely executed by an English workman. The dressing-case which the set is to fit was the property of the late Khedive Tewfik, and is in ebony enriched with brass work and marqueterie, lined with rich blue velvet. The whole is a standard of English goldsmith's work.

Providence, R.

The severe storm did not prevent the friends and relatives from attending in such numbers as to fill the auditorium. The company of which Mr. Fiske was an honored member were represented by a large delegation of employes, and several of the college class at Brown University, of which the deceased was a member some years ago, were also in attendance.
The servies were conducted by Rev. Dr. Edward C. Moore, pastor of the Central Congregational Church, of which the deceased had long been a member. The floral tributes were exceedingly beautiful and many, including several offerings from employes of the Howard Sterling Co. Interment was at Swan Point cemetery, many friends following the funeral cortege in the pouring rain to the grave. The honorary bearers were George W.

DISPLAY OF HISTORICAL PLATE
London
At the recent international banquet given at Guildhall, the City companies contributed to form a very interesting exhibition of historical plate, in which display many rare and curious relics of civic history were included. Amid the vast collection were—the five silver-gilt gamecocks of the Skinners' Company, as also a silver pea-hen, of great merit as a piece of antique handicraft. The Pepys cup of the Clothmakers, and a Nunn saltcellar, of the date of 1660, belonging to the same company. A very choice set of six small silver candlesticks, belonging to the Cordwainers, and the Henry-the-Eighth and Charles-the-Second covered cups, with their jingling bells, belonging to the Barbers Guild. The Fishmongers Company exhibited the Doncaster shield, formerly the property of the Marquis of Hastings, having been won by his horse, The Earl, besides their merman and mermaid ewers, both old, though widely differing in age, six high-gilt cups of various epochs, and a dolphin salt-cellar of quaint design. The most central place in front of the precious array was given to the milkmaid of the Vintners, whose 'prentices have often found it no easy task to drink from the inverted farthingale of the little figure, and from the swinging pail she bears aloft, before attempting the final feat of " kissing the maid." The oldest piece of plate bearing an inscribed date was the goblet in the possession of the Innholders Company, round the rim of which drinking-vessel runs the legend, " This is the gift of Grace Gwalter, in remembrance of her deceased husband, John Gwalter, 27th February, 1599." But there were far older pieces among that priceless collection. The oldest, probably, was one of the mace-heads of the Saddlers Company, surmounted by its crest, the horse passant ; a finer and far more ancient specimen than the same company's larger emblem, gilt, and showily displayed. Not later than 1186 can be the period of that first-mentioned piece of silversmith's work. There were the famed college cups of the Drapers Company, the Leigh cup of the Mercers, and a laboriously finished wagon and tun, of the year 1500, lent by the last-named guild. The Merchant Taylors and the Grocers sent a quantity of very massive plate, mostly modern, and of good design.

It is suggested that the jewelers use this or similar slogans wherever possible. In red letters on the letters that go out from the company appears the sentence, "Keep business going—for your country's sake." Already this has made a hit with a number of the firm's customers and it is hoped that many will follow the example.
