Scott. Ho was later appointed com
mander When lie came back to this
country he was appointed captain of
the port of Philadelphia.
Captain Hushes' widow came from the
same seafaring people as the filibuster.
She has two brothers living, Captain
Thomas A. Parkhlll. a retired shipmaster
of Belfast, and James Parkhlll, of Phila
delphia, She was with her husband on several
of his filibustering expeditions. On one
occasion, when the United States author
ities were suspicious of Captain Hughes,
she accompanied him when he left Phila
delphia with a cargo of arms and am
munition. The port officials, nlthough
they had been ordered to watch him,
lot him pass out the Breakwater when
they saw his wife on deck. She was sent
back when the Bahamas were reached.
General Nunez Is aware of the serv
ices which Mrs. Hughes herself rendered
the Cuban Government, and the Cuban
consul here Is dally expecting a favora
ble reply to the letter ho sent his Gov
ernment In the meantime, the old friends
of Captain Hughes are assisting her.
MRS. SAMUEL HUGHES
, Cuba will be asked within a few days
. to pay a part of the debt she owed to
the late Captain Sam Hughes, the king
of filibusters, whoso gun-running expedi
tions, more than anything else, made
possible the freedom of the Island.
Philadelphians who were, warm per
sonal friends of Captain Hushes durlne
bis filibustering days and later when he
was captain of the port here, have "sug
gested" to the Cuban Government that
a pension be granted his widow, left
destitute because Captain Hughes was
a generous and Improvident sailor.
When Captain Hughes died on July
M, i last, he left behind him only unpaid
bills He had made several fortunes dur
ing his filibustering da,s. His widow has
been an invalid for several years. She

buster died two months before him. but
Mrs Hughes has remained there at Bel

Government probably will grant her a
pension. Friends recently learned that
the captain left nothing for his widow.
SUGGESTS CUBAN AID
George F Sproule, secretary of the
Board of Commissioners of Navigation,
an Intlmato friend of Captain Hushes for
20 yers. suggested the idea of a Cuban
pension to J J Luis, Cuban Consul here,
wno fi fluently served as agent for the
Cubans In the filibustering.

First, Experts Say.
More Tban Fifty Distinct
Varieties Obtained in the
Islands Put to Profitable
Commercial Use.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 22,-Writing from
Nassau In the Bahamas, Consul W. H.
Doty tells how come of the almost Innu
merable varieties of shells In the Islands
and the waters surrounding them are put
to commercial use. He says:
"More than 60 varieties of the shells
obtainable in tho Bahamas In quantities
sufficient far commercial use are of eco
nomic value, us evidence", by the largo
ordors received recently from Europe ond
tho United States, Among these are rlco
shells, so tiny in size as to make one
marvel how a sufficient number could bo
picked up to fill a barrel: cold shells, mud
shells, cockles, bleeding tooth; pretty dec
orative sun shells; eardrop shells, which
are exported to Odessa, Russia, to be used
as ear pendants; Panama or tent shells,
which resemble miniature encampments
and sell at J90 a barrel; black snails,
which take a high polish; conches king,
queen, ivory, pink lip and trochus or
Turk's cap locally termed 'whelks'; these
aro but a few of the assortment kept In
stock at the leading warehouse at Nas
sau. "The queen conch, which Is especially
adapted for cameo carving on account of
having a layer of brown with a white top,
and the pink lip conch, which has layers
of white and pink, are much sought for.
Only the lips of these two varieties aro
exported, the demand coming from New
York and from Torre del Greco, near
Naples, Italy. Ordinary conches sell at I
cent; pink lip, whole shells, from 5 to 25
cents, and queens at 30 cents United
States currency f. o b. Nassau.
"The whelk or Turk's cap, among other
shells, 13 particularly valuable, as It has
a portion resembling the best mother of
Pwi from which pearl studs, for In
stance, could be made. It Is estimated
that I.COj.000 shells of ihis variety could be
obtained annually in this colony Thfst
shells sell f. o. b. this point for Hi cents
each.
"The labor here Is cheap, colored W3mn
lecetvlng 25 to 30 cents, ordinary laboring
men 60 cents, and white engineers $1.50

terially the expense of a button establish

"It appears that a New York pearl

Is planning to establish a button blank

"The recent Interest shown in Bahama
shells by the American people is apparent
from the exports declared through this

WAR WILL NOT KEEP
U. OF P, ENROLMENT DOWN
Registration Largest in University's
History Is Looked For.
Registration of students of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania began this morn
ing and will continue until Friday, when
the regular sessions begin. Officials of
the University do not think that the war
will have any effect on the registration,
und look forward to a record enrollment.
No students ill be allowed to register
this year without a doctor's vaccination
certificate. Those who have not been
vaccinated within the last eight years
are required to be revacclnated As a
result of thin order sore arms and
crouches are In vogue on the campus.
The engineering department win take a
picture of every student entering the de
partment this. ear The idea Is to keep
a. mjie ui curate Identification system and
record of the students.
The 20 per cent, duty Imposed upon the
Importation of diamonds has placed a
premium upon the smuggling of such
stones, In the opinion of diamond ex
ports of this city. George A. Moore, of
.1 K Caldwell & Co., believes that the
incieaso In diamond smuggling since Juno
1 has been at least 25 per cent., and that
before the end of the year It will have
toadied 50 per cent.
A great number of arrests hnvo been
made In this country recently, and they
show that the inventive genius of smug
glers has been stimulated by the great
opportunities for largo profits that ate
offered under the tariff, a point which
Is well Illustrated in one of tho recent
arrests, where the smuggler had con
cealed nn extremely valuable consignment
of diamonds by imbedding them ln the
plaster molding of a large picture frame.
E J. Borlet, of Maxwell & Berlet, was
s?vere In his cHtlcIsm of the tnrlff, point
ing out that the Government's income
under a 10 per cent tariff was $4,000,oo
annuallv, while under the 25 per cent,
tariff Imposed on these stones a number
of yars ago this Income dropped to jlOO.
000, a fact which he attributes to the
larg Increase in smuggling and for the
teason that individuals purchased their
precious stone3 abroad, rather than ln
America.
That tho Increased cost of diamonds
would decrease their sale to anv marked
extent or that the war would lead to
any scarcity of the Mones were Ideas
scouted by both experts, who say that
the demand Is steady and 'that there Is
a sufficient supply In this country to
last for two or three years. Neither
of them believes that the war will lead
to the opening of an extensive diamond
cutting Industry In America. They say
the cost of labor Is too high to permit
competition with the foreign cutters If
the sceno of that Industry Is to be
changed they believe that London will
be the city to receive it, although they
doubt that the war will cause the per
manent cessation of the trade ln Bel
glum, where some 15,000 cutters are em-
Dloved.
The use of reconstructed and synthetic
stones as substitutes for such precious
stones as rubies and emeralds is thought
to b probable by several experts, who
say that they have notived a growing
lendency In the buying of Jewels by
society women in this country. ,

NEW MOURNING SUGGESTED
FOR BRITAIN'S HERO-DEAD
London Times Advocates Purple
Band Instead of Conventional Black.
LONDON. Sept. 22.
There is n strong movement on foot to
dispense with the orthodox form of
mourning in theevent of casualties oc
curring in the British navy and army,
says the Times A number of sugges
tlons have been put forward designed to
effect economies, although at the same
time In no way minimizing the respect for
the gallant dead. Recently we published
a letter on this topic from Mrs Udward
Lyttleton, which, In view of the interest
It has aroused, we reprint In full-
"If the country should decide to dis
pense with such mourning the economic
effect will be to save a disturbance of
cash expenditure Mourning will still bo
bought for those who die natural deaths'
hut we should have a large additional and
artificial expr.ditne temporanlv In
flated by the heavy death roll of the
next few weeks, and the mnnv so saved
will be available for the support of or
dinary trade This independent of the
weightier reasons for changing our usual
custom
"What I am advocating is something
that would bo an appeal to all hearts for
sympathy in bereavement, and it would
mean practically no expenditure, for the
simple narrow band of purple cloth to be
worn on tho left arm by every man,
woman or child who had lost a "relation
In the war would cost practlcallv nothing
and the badge would be the same for all
classes "
In a few days we shall bo receiving the
news of great loss of life on the Continent
and at sea. One's first thought is a strong
conviction that for liies lost in such a
noble cause the wearing of conventional
mourning would be unsuitable
LONDON. Sept. 22.
The Official Press Bureau has Issued
the following announcement:
"It may be of some interest and com
fort to the relatives of the officers whose
names appear as missing or wounded
in the casualty lists Issued by the War
Office after the termination of the re
treat from Mons to know that letters
have begun arriving In London from
German hospitals, in which some of them
are found to be lying. Several of them
appear to be at Paderborn. Westphalia."
The British public, however, is pre
pared to hear of great losses in the bat
tle now raging. The stories sent by
correspondents indicate that the battle
has exceeded In violence and stubborn
ness anything in modern history since
the struggle at Port Arthur. There are
stories of charges tlvnllng Bilaklava, and
the casualty lists confirm tho reports
Casualties among t British officers are
out of nil proportion to the losss in
the ranks Seven hundred and ninety
seven officers are among the killed,
wounded and missing. One hundred and ,

willing to go to any length to retake It.
In describing the conditions in Rheims,
tho Daily Telegiaph correspondent says
that there is hardly a house In the neigh
borhooo of tho cathedral that escaped
damage. Continuing, he says:
The masonry of the cathedral Is
chipped and rannv of the carved fig
ures and gargoIs have been broken
off. In the doorwai still stands the
crippled beggar crippled In 1ST0 who
has remained at his post through a
rain of flying splinters and .dust,
pebbles and glass Fifty shells found
lodgment in the Interior, but the stone
work withstood the concussion of their
explosion.
The building can probably be restored,
according to this correspondent, as the
shell hre seems no longer to be directed
toward It, but, of course, its priceless
decorations are ruined for all time.
. ROME, Sept. 22 (By way of Paris).
When informed of the destruction or
the Cathedral of Pheims. Pope Benedict
XV said he "could not believe it posslhle
In such a civilized epoch as the 20th
century to bo plunged back to the time
of Attila "
The Pontiff requested that Cardinal
Teriati isk Cardinal Amette, Archbishop
of Paris, for full particulars, as tele
grams for Rhelms are not accepted.
TO MAKE CHILDREN FIREPROOF
the missing probably must later be
tecorded as killed or wounded despite to
day's official announcement.
The Coldstream Guards Regiment holds
first place with 11 casualties among Its
officers' corps. The King's Royal Rifles
and the Suffolk Regiment have each had
25 officers killed or wounded, the Gordon
Highlanders. 23: the Munster Fusillera

Heavy reinforcements have been rushed
to tho German forces composing th rlsht

sumption of the Verdun attack ami the
sending of such laro reinforcements of

may be followed b an effort on the part
of th- Germans to attempt an offensive
noiement all along the line
through the Richmond postojfice by way
of the parcel post, but tho most curious
shipment yet received arrived a few
days ago ln the shape of a peculiarly
constructed papier-macho coop contain
ing 50 newly hatched chickens.
This unusual consignment through
Uncle Sam attracted much attention, and
a few favored visitors at the Federal
building were allowed the prlvilego of
seeing tho "biddies."
While it is strictly against the parcel
post rules to accept livo fowls for ship
ment, this coop, about 1& Inches squnrp
and divided into two compartments, with
sufficient openings to allow light and
air, was allowed admittance to the mails
at a postoffice In Russelt County. Its
destination was a point In Lancaster
j County, a Journey from the extreme
Southwestern portion of the State to the
extreme Eastern.
The chicks passed through the Rich
mond office while being transferred from
one train to another Despite their long I
trip tho half hundred chirping, fuzzy
creatures were in good condition, and,
barring any mishap, should reach their
' destination in as good shnps as when they
were mailed
i Being a violation of the postal laws,
the shipment would ordinarily have been
returned to the sender, but when it '
reached tne hands of Postmaster Thorn
ton's subordinates, and the error of ac '
ceptlng It discovered, it was decided to
allow it to continue to the end of its ,
Journey, for fear the chickens would die ,
if returned to Russell Countv ,
However, Assist int Postmaster W
