Powers, of New York city, has had the unusual experience of losing a package con taining $40,000 worth of jewelry and finding it within a few hours, says a London dispatch to The Herald. Mrs. Powers had sent her jewels on from Carlsbad by a friend and her husband started to take them to a safe deposit. Colonel Powers iput the pack age on a seat in a cab beside him, i covering them with his overcoat. On the way he stopped at a tailor’s and, catching up his overcoat, paid the cab driver and dismissed him. It was not until he whs leaving the tailor’s that he remembered the pre cious package. Much wrought up, he hurried to the Scotland Yard and a score of detectives began to • search the city. A few hours later the po lice inspector called upon Colonel Powers and announced that the cab man had been found and turned over the jewels. Under the law ,the find er is entitled to 20 per cent of their value, so he will be subs-tantially re warded. MADE TO ORDER BY The International Tailoring C NEW YORK AND CHICAGO.
