THE OMAHA DAILY BER: SUNDAY. JANAUSCHER'S COSTLYJEWELS Fho Grief at Their Loss and tho Joy at Their Recovery. SWO WEALTHY DHESSMAKERS, A Playwright's te Device—A Well Informed Chambermaid—Corals Much in Fashion—Clara Belle's Letter., NEw York, June 23.—[Correspond- ence of the Bee.]—Chauncy M. Depew is a more humorous man than his after-dinner speeches indicate. Being a girl, [ am forever debarred from hearing those addresses delivered, but the quota- tions that I read are not wortn the space in which they are printed, and must re- quire a great deal of champagne to make the laughter effervesce. But he doestalk comically to ladies. I met him yesterday fin Fifth avenus at Thirty-eighth street, and he was gazing alternately at the Union League club house on one corner and a magnificent private residence on another. He bowed politely 1n the old- fashioned way. That is to say, he didn’t slide his hat down the ridge of his nose to a level with his chin, and then back to his head, after the manner of the current beau, but lfted it, free, courtly, and picturesque. ““What are you looking at the buildings Tor, Mr. Depew?"’ 1 asked. “Lwill tell you,” hereplied. “That is the Union League club, as you know,and 8 a member I put a good deal of time d money into it. The house over here was, until this week, the homo of the Burtons. Now they have sold it. And to whom do yon suppose? Two sisters who are dressmakers. Do I object to that? No; not for itsclf, but do you think it will be conducive to placid com- fort 1n your father—or to your husband, ‘when you take one—to sit in his club window and gaze across the uavenue at the establishment in which his daughter, or wife, spends his money in frippery?’ Of couse, dear Uncle Chauncey didn’t half mean what he said. Heis like most men 1n really liking beauty when it is ndorned the most artistically. But it is worth mentioning that the two dress- makers are financially able to buy a Fifth avenue mansion for $170,000 cash down, and turn it into a shop. » "% It was in the rooms of another modish dressmaking establishment that I saw .:ome(hing}o make my eyes stick out. RBeings with trousers on, and presumably men, are the high designers of garments in this concern; and at the time of my ~isit no less than threo of them wero working over a strange combination of fabric and shape that was draped on a model girl. As she first appeared she was clad in a handsome and yet rather plain costume that would be suitable for fhe street promenade. She stood up in t on a low platform, ana they were crit- cally regarding her, grabbing viciously r! the garment. At every clutch some- thing came off. .One man jerked away a gleove, another got a section of the upper fodice, and so on. The scene startled 0 for a moment, but the calmness of he girl assured me that there was no arm meant. In a jifty the pretty crea- ure stood transformed into a belle ar- rayed for an evening occasion of cere- mony, with no sleeves, a low corsage, sud a bodice altogether fit for a ball, re- eption or dinner. ‘Is that for some economical patron,” nsked, ‘‘who wishes one dress to an- swer the purposes of two?"” { “Not exactly,”” was the reply; “itisan vontion of a playwright, and is to be orn in a new farcical piece called ‘Amanuensis,” soon to be produced ata Broadway theater. In one of the scenes wild absurdity, the heroine is violent- assaulted by a servant girl, who tears riously at her dress. Every timo she lutches the garment a plece gives way. ut the truth is that the victim of the assault, for the sake of convenience and gconomy, has devised a sortof trans- Hormation corsage, with detachable leeves and upper ‘gortlon. and so the jolent removal of the different sections, hough startling to the speotators for an instant, only leaves the actress appro- riately clad for a ball to which she is ing. If that doesn’t make the play go mously with the women then 1 am no Iprophet.’* e There is one shrewd man in New York ho has not learned the nature of svoman. The restaurant keeperan Union Bquare, who hired a side-show giant, and sent him out on the sidewalk to distributo pirculars, has devised & new attraction for his place. Five musiciang sit by the window playing nearly all day. They rm rhfgnd out in uniforms, and make an mposing orchestra. Crowds of women stand around to see them play. The E'mnlo cannot be heard outside distinotly. 'o en]ox 1t one must go inside, and it was expocted thut nearly everybody who en- gered would eiher have a luncheon or buy some conloeunnnrz. It 18 scldom that a man will go in to hear the music and have norve enough to leave without urchmlnf anything, but the women are ot built that way. ']’hay crowd through ghe doors, block up the passage, buy nothing, and calmly walk away when thoy have heard enough. A" woman mnever has any scruples about going to a freo show, * w*y The tricks of trade are many and mani- fold, but I think I have dropped in on Ithe newest dodge. The dyers, scourers and cleaners always display a window ifull of curtains, feathera and gloves, be- hind which rise on_tall, spectral, head- fless figures, the lovely tea gowns and the sweot seaside robes ot spotless white that ithe proprietors of the shop have reno- rvated. 1Itisa great inducement to buy cream cashmere or ivory silks when you see how well they look after hdnfi cleaned at Screwzendrivers., My frien Jennio has her clothes sent from Paris, and in hor last batch of gowns was a lovely houso dress of some soft material, caseaded with cream whito lace and be- ribboned with ivory satin ends. Alas, for this pretty gown! It was ever so much too short, and it had a ridiculous little back in it--about big enough for the back of your hand. “I wonder whother I coutdn’t exchange that dreadtul misfit at one of the places I " mused Jennie, poke the chambermaid who had heard the conversation, ‘‘My sister is working for Mr. Naptha and I'think it's very likely he'd buy that gown of you to :ut in his window, to show how splendid o clouns things. They made three five white wrappers for the show window last month but none of 'em_was as pretty as our’s. That would look beautifu he window. Folks would never think it had been cleaned, but for being in old aptha’s window, where of course they now there's nothing but cleaned gar- ments,” ¢ “‘But some of the things huve been cleaned, haven't they, that I sce there?"’ asked Jennie, 2 “Well, a fow pair ‘of gloves, bit the curtains, and blankets and the white dresses are mostly l:r:nd new.” As | have written before, our women do not tuke kindly te a bounctless condi- tion in a theatre, but I see that some of them wear tall hats until the curtain rises, and 1n the semi-darkness twitch them off s vnmlf. and sit with them in their laps. Vhen the curtain _falls they mount their millinery agamn. There is ~ always a certain anxiety in women about that part of the head, which they have never been able to se cexcept with a couple of glas “What if the stem of that nicely amalgamated switch was sticking out?” lorrible suspicion. “What if the joint in tnat rotary-motion bang was visible?" Po- lice! but 1t's a hair-standing suggestion. On goes that hat with due thankfulness for its dimensions. The other night an audience startled by a shi that came from the darkened auditorium, I know all about it. Xmma’s father is a retired captain of n naval description. He took her to the theatre, and the Jjawed about a white lace hat, with of the valley sticking all over it, that reared in front of him. Then he whippec the other woman over Em’s head. ‘“I'nat poor little bald-headed man, who has taken oft his hair not to inter fere with peovle’s comfort, who is sit- ting behind you,'" he said, “‘can’t see thing, with that infernal mass of flowers and fliwormagilders you've got stuck on (R Fms afraid of pa, and she meekly took off her hat and put it in her iap. She held it all through that act, and when the curtain fell, pa said he'd go out to ‘‘see if 1t was raining.” Em had been on the point of sneezing a dozen time with a toreign bird’s tail feathers .t ling her nose, and fifteen hollyhocks seratching her chin, or that hat in_h lap. She was glad of pa's going,and s just laid_her hat, hollyhocks up, in hi t. Pa met a friend, stay was protracted curtain rose on the third act. Em was 80 absorbed that she took no note of time, Pa tramped down the dark aisle, and deposited 275 pounds, hay: weight, y\u‘ chunk on Em’'s hat. big pins that sho had herself put in to direct the position of the foreign bird's tail feathera did their full work. A deck word—-a regular stiff-breeze, water-logged word-—came out of the old man, while Em gave a shriek that stopped the action of the play for one-quarter of a minute. Em said to me, when she showed me that hat, “Now, what isit? My new $20 hat or a dew-drop lamp Y *‘Do drop the subject, Em, and tell her about the new gems you bought to-day,” said va. So the hat was not a total loss. *"% Miss Minnie Murray, daughter of a wealthy brewer, celebrated her soven- teenth birthday this week, and Million- nire Mackay’'s wife sent her a set of carved coral from one of the most fash- ionable jewclers of Paris. Patti made some charming good-bye gifts before she left New York. One was a coral bar pn,studded with five pink diamonds,and with earrings to match. Lady Stafford went to the theatre one night in full dress, and her ornaments were a neck: lace of Naples ccral cut 1n square bl itk o dizinond sobIn_eaoh bloole Mo Langtry carries a parasol of white silk, over which lace is gathered from the cen- ter to the outer edre, and the handle is an immense stick of finely cut coral. So coral is in fashion. The great drawback to its popularity is the cleverness with which it is counterfeited. Patti went to a swell dinner wearing a pearl necklace and a modest pair of soltaires. “Tsuppose you expected to see mo n my Russian necklace,” said she to her hostess, “‘but my dear, I would not wear my stage paste to your dinner, though no one should discover them, and I will tell you a secrot. I have not & gota valnaple Eem in this country, only the imitation uplicates of the really fine st sess. It got to be such above g police m my carriage, at my dressing room door,in the wings, escorting mo very closely every step I'took. I found a remedy in paste. These comparatively yalueless articles, representing a million dollars, lie in a satchel on a lounge in my chamber at the hotel. That bag gives me no uneasiness. If the realstones were out of a vault, double locked and Euur;!ed 1 should be on thorns of appre- ension.”” Madame Janauschek is disabled for the smfi:: by a broken hip, poorold lady, and 8o there can be no suspicion of advertis- icg.in a story of her precious stones. She keeps them in the commonest kind of a roufh wood box. Langtry has an iron casket, covered with gold plush, in which she totes around her trophies. Bern- hardt has a series of leather cascs. Davenport has a steel-lined receptacle. But Janauschek dumps hers all together, with an occasional bit of paper wrapped around some particular gem, into the old unpainted box that has a wooden handle on top. This is always carried by a dragon of a maid, but dragons are some- times careless, and once in a western barn of a station waiting fora train, Janauschek strayed out for a paper and the maid wandored off for something else, and when they metin the ladics’ room both stared aghast, for neither had the precious box, and each had supposed the other was taking care of it. The maid explained in voluble German that it had been left on the settee in that waiting room, and a vigorous search was set up. ‘The railroad officials soon learned that a fortune in precious stoncs werc gone, and excitement was intense. The police arrived. Janauschek nervously gave a slender list of tho grinclpnl gems. Sho was_prosteated with alarm. There were the Nicholas eardrops worth £3,000, Anna of Austra’s cross $2,000, the sot of dia- monds given by the European Napoleon III valued at 4,000, the presents of the Rothschild family alone reach #5,000, and an Indian prince in the long ago, when Jansuschek was young and charm- ing, had told his love in language which both understood. ~ His conversation mounted up fearfully. The anecdote of his affection related in gems was worth more than $4,000, The railway men tell over the police in their excitement—but no box. The tele- graph was worked for all it was worth, A mann ulinen duster, who sat near them, had aeparted for some interior roim. Tuey wired to catch him. Every- hing was at fever heat, when Dennis, ‘a sort of under porter, whose duty was to keep the waiting room tidy, arrived from his supper. o *‘F'hat was all this commoshin about?” 0 asko “Kifty thousand dollars worth of dia- monds has been lost?™ “‘An'na who lost 'em; " “The old lady beyant.” “Go hang yersilf—she hasn't the price of atin et breastpin,’” said he con- temptiously, Just hero a reporter took down a min- ute description of the exterior of the jewel caskot—'‘rough, unpainted wood, very much battered and begrimmed, with a wooden handle on top.” *‘It must have looked very much like a bootbluek’s box,"” said he. “toreo,"” shouted Dennis, “I believe I have the thing. [ caught it heyant on the sittee, an’ thinks I, that's Lame Pat’s Kit—Dbad ‘cess to him, leaving his old box in dacint sates.” “And what have you doue with it yelled a dozen, “I haveitin me broom closet waiting to lather the spalpeen when he came afther it.” He was fairly thrown at the closet, and he calmly unloaded the box on end in a corner, under some mops and brooms in company with a few pails. Januaschek was delighted. She called her maid to give the man a §20 bill. “Give me n sight of a thousand dol- lars worth of diamonds is all 1 ask," Iaughed Dennis, and Janauschek, havin, the entire police force at her back,opene: the box and drow out a necklace, by the recollection of whose brilliancy the town is lighted to this day, I believe. CLARA BELLE. WHAT LABOR NEEDS, Leaders Are Plenty, But Now Methods Are Wanted. What Strikes Have Accomplished in Rais- ing Wages the Past Year. Secret of the Opposition to Labor Unions and to the Knights. Boston Globe: The labor movement has developed men and measures, but has xd many new methods. Agitation by public speech and printer’s ink is as old as the most ancient language and the art preservative; and much as they have accomplished, the strike has done more to force public discussion and general concession than all other means. The time has come when public nterest demands a less costly and less dangerous method of reaching equitable relations. Exvperience shows that stri become less frequent as the several eraft organ- izations become perfected. Power and responsibility in trades unions as in na- tions lends to well considered action, not only on the part of the members of the unions, but of the employers as well. ‘The opposition to natu law of ¢ ized eflort by the employing cla sponsible for the most bitter and pro- longed contests. The Worcester county lockout s but one of the many examples of this fact. i Another primary cause of these indus- trial wars is to be found in the ignorance of employers of the fundamental law of social and economic developement. The msn who have adyanned from the bench to provrietorship, within th years forget the industrial, social revolutions that within that time, and they fail to com- prehend that civilization tends in its up- ead to broader and deeper social ence in the most highly civil- ized communti nd the tin 1 come when “hands, Il disappear by the same process. The manufacturers cannot succced with the same tools and systems that wero in use and in vogue half a_century ago. The individualism of small shops and hand-work has given placo to the socialism of aggregated labor, and the employers can no more force wage- workers to give up the spirit of organiza- tion than ignorant laborers 1 o) employers back to old-time methods of production. The common denunciation of mo- nopoly, as f it applics to the better anl cheaper serving of the public, is ;but its appheation to the spirit of aiism of monopoly, 18 eeping with the social developmept | Gi fie Age, The wonderful suceess of last year in securing higher wages and less hours has lod employers mto 4 futile attempt to de- stroy l{w organization of geworkers. They claim that they are emancipating their employes from the despotism of labor o« while in fact they are 1z- norantly invitingmob law. They shan\l understand that a mob knows no arbi- tration. The Knights of Labor and all trades unions are democratic govern- ments, in which the majority rule, under constitutional provisions. Their iaws are 80 made as to restrain the reckless and compel deliberative action. The fact that many strikes have been precipitated by Knights of Labor within the past cighteen months is due to the same class of causes that have led to tie mobs and eri of our cities, namely, an artilicial increase i member- ship of the former and population of the latter. Nine thousand men landing in astle Garden in one day and 10,000 men joining the Knights of Labor within the same period of fime is an unnatural in- crease and beyond the power of assimila- tion. The demand of the timeis for men, mothods and measures. The labor move- ment has developed men worthy of leader-ship, who have been untiring, persistent and successful in moving the massos to higher cconomic and social conditions. These men can be numbered by hundreds, while the manufacturing cl!ns has not developed in this country one who is_entitled to the name of u leader in social and economic reforms. There are quite & _number of manufac- turers who are the St. Clares of the wage system. There are a few who accept some advanced solid or economic theory, but none who are willing to sacrifice posi- tion, wealth or comfort for the public good. Sy The fierce competition in all classes of capitalistic enterprise is developing despots of trade, commerce and industry. The monstrous monopolies of our day are due more o the genius of a single man than to the combined wisdom of the stock owners. Itisa mistake to think that intelligent labor men are opposed to wealth or men of wealth and culture. Their opPusitlun is to the uses of wealth and the abuses of wealthy men. We ask them not to distribute their wealth, but to distribute the power that their wealth ves in the direction of a peaceful solu- tion of the labor problem. Edward Atkinson, m a speech to the organized laborers of Boston, in a flip- pant way said he would like to organize the “‘scabs.” He could do no grander work. The organization of this class would first make them auxiliaries, and finally members of their craft unions. Ira Stewart once said, “‘Machinery is dis- charging laborers faster than new em- ployments are provided. Machinery cannot be stopped and tramps must not be increused.” Will Mr. Atkinson show us some method by which the machiner discharged man can be provided with equally remunerative labor? gly friend who, some years ago, was earning from $6 to $3 per day in his skilled ‘mechanieal occupation, tinds his work done to-day by a machine and at- tended by a dollar "a day workingman. His skill and training of fifteen years, seven or cight years of which might be properly cdlled ~npprenticeship, s so much lost eapital. The her does the work of six men, but who provides work for the five men dischargad? Itis no use to rail at the machin or tind fault with the perfected system by which we buy our cloth at six or seven cents per yard,but you can'y console the discharged workman with diagrams or statistics that prove that the margin of profits is being diminished. As a lubor reformer, he 1s, doubtless, pleased that Mr. Atkinson has become convineed of a fact enunciated br the Boston Eight-Hour Leagne i ihmen years ago. f the shoemakers of Worcester county are compelled to leave the Knights of Labor it will be but for a short time, ‘Lhe Crispin organization was ll(sam'mfeJl ut the Lasters' Protective union still lives, If the Knights of Labor were driven to the wall as an organization, a more pow- erful organization would soon take its place, But the Worcester county manu- acturers have found to their cost that the Knights die hard, and for one I shall not believe that orgunization 1s dead’ until it is buried, and [ shall then watch at its grave for a glorious resurrection, GEORGE E.

Heis a twin brother and was born about forty-two years ago near the city of Helsingfors. His' father's name~ was Kirilvitz, and he was a boatman and fish- erman by occupation, The twins were named respectively Ignace and And the forn laiming and possessing whatever privilege belonged to priority of birth, TIHE TWIN BOYS RECEIVED some shght education and curly in their teens were sent by their sire to sea to serve their apprenticeship as saiiors, They took n:\tur:xllf to the sea and be- came expert and reliable men before the mast before they were nineteen years of age. The twins neither drank nor smoked tobacco. They were very taci- turn and superstitions. Spitting played agreat partin their daily life aboard ship. They would spit as a sign of ns- tonishment; they would spit as a sign of defience; they would spit for a fine day, and they would spit against bad weatuer, They both had a great dread of the “‘evil eye,” and attributed all their ailments or misfortunes to 1t. They were not singu- larin these respects, Many of their countrymen possess THE SAME PECULIAR BELIE th tained under a a full-rigged with better c: accommodations than is usual in Ri ships of the class. Captain Malvintzew took his daughter with him one voyage for the purpose of letting her seo London. The twin broth- ers Kirilvitz,at all events, fell violently in love with her, Being steady and hice lovking and neatly dresse received the approving glance The twins made conti ich other in the matter of th and they mutually agreed that would try to win Sophia Malvintzew, if either succeeded the other would b nis_Gisappointment unmurmuringly best he might. When Sophin was at home she lived at Helsingfors, and when the brothers were in port they had op- portunities of secing her, for her father thoneht a great ideal both hgthers, i Sae g & v S uiey were Gniucr & Stanaing myia - tion to visit his home. g The lily mma:d of Holsingfors smiled sweetly on both young men,but manifest- cdinsome enmistakable way u preference for the elddr, Ignace. When Andre be came convineed that this was 8o he said to Ignace that he had eng another ship, and for the their lives™ thd twins were 5 Sophia was‘in fove; but she knew that her father would Hiardly approve of her ma rymng an ofdimary seaman. 1t therefo beeame netessary for the lovers to plight their vowsin séevet, and a sort of pri- vate marniige took place in Helsingfors, which both “pirties kept secret as the grave. Jubt About this timo s formor student of Helsingfors university named Dmitrievng’ returned from ~ Paris, where hé had been walking the Is and wverfecting hin f in ative surgery. He was a nice little tellow, very short-sighted and wearing glasses. Dr, Dmitrie had known Sophia Malvintzew since_childhood, and when he came back from France and pre- pared to settle down to the practice of his profession in Helsingfors b emed to have discovered that he liked Sophia and that she would make an excellent doctor’s wife. Captain Malvintzew and is wifo were of the same mind as re- spected the young physician, There had been quite a number of smallpox eases in Helsingfors, and Dr. Dmiitrievna was n disciple of Jenner as respocts vaceination. He lectured Sophia and her mother on the subject.and urged the sovercign necessity of having the oung Iady vaccinated. As the virus hegan to mani| itself by mtlammation Ignace was sailing homeward down the Gulf of Finland. Before long the hus- bund and wife had a secrat meeting, and the long-suffering hittle woman told tear- fully of her trials, of her mother's ur- g‘unc_y and last of all the vaccination, Vhen she mentioned vaccination and Ignaco looked at her poor swollen arms, his countenance changed. ] never seen him look like that before. Vaceination, he told her in gasping un- dertones, was the seal of anti-Christ or Beelzebub, whereby the victims are to be known on the dayof judgment. He was very silent ana thonghtful after that,and he took his leave, notsaying much, but spitting u great deal and shaking his head. TWO DAYS AFTER DR, DMITRIEV was found sen: ss and bleeding pro- fusely in a forest road a fow wiles from Helsingfors. He had been called to at- tend a peasant woman, and it was pre- sumed at first that he had been assaulted by footpads on his return. Inquiry by the police evolved the fact that that there Wwas no peasant womansick atthe village where he had been summoned; that he had not bean there, but had been as- saulted but not robbedon his way thither on horseback, The doctor could tell nothing about his assailant because his spectacles had blown off, but he knew that his Tartar marc had kicked the man and knocked him over. It was this kick of the Tartar mare that identified lgnace the sailor, as the doctor’s assailant, and when finally Sophia was forced by stern judicial means to tell her story the young man was condemned to be sent to Siberia for ten years. FOUR OR FIVE MONTHS AFTER Ignace was sent to the Siberian mines Andre arrived-home from u voyage, and, as usual, calletl to see Sophia. It was from her that he first learned the true history of his brother's crime and sen- tonce. Hej furthermore Jearned that she was ‘his brother's lawful wife, and that | in the process of time she would become a mother—a dreadful situation for her to contem- plate under the circumstances, Andre did a greatdeal of spitting, and looked very sad and heart-broken, but said lit- tle.” He went to sea another voyage—to the Mediterranean—and kept ~spitting the whole voyage. When he returned to Helsingfora he went as usual to see Sophia, and found that he“ secret was discovered; Her mother had detected her condition,iand a distressing unbur- dening of seorets ensued. There was other news for Andre. Tidings had reached Helsinfors that in trying to es- cape, conviet 197 had been shol dead. According to the official records, Ignace was numbered 197. He took the news to Bofi;hin;suid that perhaps it was just as well that his brother had been shot dead, under the circnmstances of the attempted escape. Ho was at peace now, whereas if he had been captured alive slavery in the quicksilver mines would have {men his lot for life. This settled, Andre be- gan to MAKE LOVETO THE WIDOW. and pointed out an easy way by which all scandal and prosecution on the part of her family might be easily avoided, Let her marry him and they would emi- grate to America, where there was money alore and freedom of the most compre- ensive kind.

It had been so in the case of Ignace Kirilvi When his term of penal servitnde expired, about 1830, he came back to Helsingfors, not much the worse for his experiences. He had been docile, and had won some consideration from his cruel musters. From the Mal- vintzew family he learned all about Sophia, the news of his own death, her second marriage to Andre, and the pros- perity of the litile family in the United States. Hestarted for ~Minnesota, and in the course of time arrived at the Kiril cottage door, finding his danghter sitting outside, for it was morning and July. There were tears i his eyes,but no voice in his throat.
