It was hoped that arrangements could be made allowing the boy his freedom this morning, but {t has been a physical impossibility to investigate all the offers made, and ‘Joe,’ much as It grieves him and his friends, must remain in the custody of the Gerry Society until next ‘Monday. ‘The little fellow was brought Into Jefferson Market Court by Agent Dia- mond. Ho was attired in a new suit jand a golf cap, the color scheme of ‘which was exceedingly pataful. “Joc” was particular to explain that he had not picked out the cap. Alfred Zetns, the bifnd man, who was “Joe’s"' triend before misfortune came to the Iittle provider, was tn court, anx- fous to secure posression of the boy. He Produced a letter from Mre. Philitps, Joe's mother, authorizing him to care for the boy.

Magistrate Pool refused to give the boy to Zeiss, He also turned down the {mportunitles of an alleged uncle from Stumford, Conn, “Joe" sald ‘that he did not know the sollcitoux uncle and did not care to go to Connecticut. Magistrate Pool said that he had re- celved so many leters tn regurd to “Joc that he had not been able to find ttme to open them ail., ‘The contest for po: session. of the boy haa narrowed down to three eminent citizens, who desire to take him afd make the most of the en- ergy and fixity of purpose with which he tn endowed The Evening World has been unable to decide as yet which of these gentle- men should have the boy, or whether other offers might not Le more udvanta- Reus. oldie Graham and Doretta Manley. ear-olds and shy, called at The ing World's uptown office to-day and lett $3.45 for “Joe.” This sum was realized at an entertainment for his ben- cfit promoted by the little minses. Untorunately they left no address, but the names of the performers in the benefit are as follows: Goldie Graham, Doretta Manley, Amy Catharine and Arthur Kinsley and Alva Graham. ‘The admission to the benefit was 5 cents, and considertng this, the sum realized was most handsome. WORLD'S LARGEST DIAMOND IN A NEW YORK STRONG BOX. Canary ‘'Gem of Purest Ray, ‘rom the Inthes a marvellous canary, | Serene’’ Has Interesting Past and Promising Future. A diamond the exe of a bantam’s ese and of great value reposes in the steel yaults of Stern Bros. & Co. lamond merchants at No. 68 Nassau| Tt is the largest stone of its ‘ind in the world.

It lo the terrible beauty of the stone and the comfort it would buy, tl small bit of yellow “glass,” that makes men think. A year ago a Keffir in the Kimberley mines gave a yell of exultation. He Grew the Instant attention of the super- Intendent, who looked In a dazed man- ner upon a dull-looking mase of yellow Ftone. He took it mechanically to the’ oMces of the De Beers Company. “A canary diamond of 600 carats,’ enid the manager philosophically as he threw it carelessly im the steel vault, which is guarded ee carefully.
