DRAWN BY DIAONDS IS NEEDLE TO POLE. THE STORY OF A FAIR GEORGIA KLEP TOMANIAC. Feaitentiary or the Asylum-To One of these Unfortunate Young Woman Will Be Sent. [The State.) Augusta, Ga.-A mystery that outrivals the yellowest of the metro politan puzzles is one in which the Georgia seaport city, Savannah, is puzzled to understand, in which a pretty girl of some 19 years has won the soubriquet of the "Queen of Diamonds," from the fact that she seems to be possessed of a klepto mania, and only on the subject of this most valuable jewel. Haughty of manner, in the bright est possible of moods and gay of speecb, with absolutely no thought of the immensity of the crime with which she is charged, except for an occasional expression of doubtful sorrow at the fact that she has been captured and her name placed be fore the public in the manner it has, Mamie deChrist occupies a lonely cell in ' the Chatham county jail. She receives occasionally a visitor from among the set with wbich she used to mingle and rehearses the story of misdeeds that would make the strongest man blush with shame. Today she is confronted by one of two dark propositions either of which will blight what might have been a bright future had she chosen to make it such. She sees either the * prodpect of a long term in the State prison or a life in the mad house. The qupstion as to which institution she shonld. properly be sent by the authorities will be in a measure de * cided by a jury of pbysicians which * will examine into the condition of * her anind on a writ of lunacy sworn out before the county ordinary by * her motbers -Fro* 7pst experiences it is plain that shlould the woman make two ap pearn sbefore this jury and mnake a statignkesch time, they will be as widely different as the waters of the Dead sea and the nectar of the gods. S&arcely in a degree will tbe first story ore with that of the sec ond statement. Time and time again * see has made-a-most positive state ment; earnest in the extreme one day, but denied with an equal ear nestness the day following. The arrest of Miss deChrist in At lanta last week was of a most sensa tionaL mature and has continually since4mie kept Savannah agog with tbs excitement of wonder impelled by wondering what next, and the entire State illed with interest as to the possibility of an unexpected turn in the case. New York in all its history has never produced a drama of a more startling nature than the exploit of Mamie deChrist last July, and the connecting subse e quent vsenta, when-she appeared re peatedly at the jewelry stores of Theus Bros. and A. S. Desbullions and succeeded in robbing them by a most marvelous nerve of watches of high value, diamond brooches and rings of various prices. .Imagiga tion does not picture a cooler scene, which was her salvation, throughout her transactions, than the stylishly dressed, pretty, petite brunette who enters the jewelry stores with an air that fitted to a nicety with the sto ries which the told. "At the'store 'of Theus lios. she wase Miss Willhams, the nick of Mr. 1. P. Williams, a Savannah millionaire, and at the other establishment she was Miss Bian, a. niece of Capt. Henry Blun, president of the Germania bank At the one place she presented a note scribbled on society stationery -from Mrs. Williams asking that she be shown a lot of jewelry from which to choose pieces to be taken to Mrs. Williamis that she herself might make belectioi.s, and at the other she dis played a similar note purporting to be fro-: the wife of the wealthy bank-' er. At' neither store could the jew elers do enough for the relative of,. either of those ladies and really in sisted on her taking more baubles than she had chosen from the cases. They were sorry when this smooth female whom they had never seen before and whose identity '!.as as vague to them as that of a foreigner except for the pencilled note, when she would not take more than $2,000 S worth of jewele, and that they did not have more valuable trinkets for her to bear away to her imaginary aunts. Young Desboullions asked when the woman left who she was and was told she was Miss Williants. Then it dawned upon him that there was no such person and a search was in stituted, but the woman was not found As a matter of fact she was living in a flat on the same block where her victims dii businiss tbe whole time. A craze for having her name ap pear in print was her undoing. She went to Atlanta and stopped at the. Kimball house. For the purpose of letting her friends see that she was being received by the top of society she wrote a story to the Savannah Morning News telling all about a swell wedding i t which she was present as an attendant. To make the story more graphic she told of a pair of horses running away hitched to a carriage in which were two at tendants, the names used being the most prominent families in the State, and the couple being killed. The whole story was filled with well ! known Georgia names, but with strange initials, the signature to the story being "Mrs. G. W. Williams." The affair was investigated and found by the authorities to be en tirely imaginary, the dramatis per sonae being without existence. On reading the story the solicitor general deducted that Miss deChrist was the "Diamond Queen," by com parison of the writing in the letter to The News and the note left at the jewelry store. She was arrested in Atlanta and confessed. She was ta ken back to Savannab, where she told endless conflicting stories which led to the popular opinion that she was insane and caused the issuing of a writ of lunacy at the instigation of her mother. Mamie deChrist was born of hum ble parentage in that part of Sa vannah known as Thunderbolt, but now she deniies her mother. The question as to her sanity will be de dided either this afternoon or to morrow arnd on this decision hangs her future life-in prison as a crimi nal or the mad house as a maniac.

PURCELL, P. M!. The art features of The 1)euigner for January, 1903, are effective to a iarked degree, and are typical of the progressiveness of this popular publication, which is always the her ad of up.to date fashions and inter ests essentially feminine. Edited by women, it caters especially to wo manly tastes. Most charming and original are the fancy costumes, and stylish and seasonable are the nilli nery designs, the latter being ac companied by a practical article on hat making. "In door Exercises for Children," by Dr. Sarah A. French Battey, and "Toilet Table Chat" are of real hygienic value, and the de partments of "What Women Are Do ing" and "Helps Along the Way," both edited by the readers of The Designer, are helpful and decidedly novel. The literary features com prise t wo short stories, "At Heron's Crag," by Elizsbeth Roberts Mac donal, and "Mr. Coyote," by L 0. Lenart, "The Do'mestic Side of the White House," by Waldoni Fawcett, "The Feast of the Kings," by G. W. Jacobs' and a parlor.comedy, "A Sudden Inspiration," by Mary Daw san.
