Re: Tiffany & Co. Advertisements and Information
William S. Taylor, an employé of Tiffany & Co.'s factory, in Newark, is lying in a critical condition at his home, 210 Sylvan avenue, from the effects of a fall through a hatchway in the factory last week. He fell to the ground, twenty feet below. His skull is fractured and one of his arms is badly injured. Recovery is doubtful. No one knows how the accident occurred, as Taylor was alone at the time and he has since been unable to talk. It is thought that he attempted to raise some machinery and that his fall was caused by the giving way of some ropes which he seized in the belief that they were fastened at the bottom of the hatchway.

Imports of Jade
Much interesting information about jade, its character, uses and value, was imparted to the Customs Board of Classification by Mr. George F. Kunz, of this city, last Wednesday. Mr. Kunz appeared as an expert witness for the C. L. Tiffany Company during the hearing of a protested tariff case. General Appraiser Charles H. Ham presided. The Tiffany Company imported a variety of articles made of Chinese jade some time ago, and sought to have them entered and passed at 10 per cent. duty as precious stones. There were some artistically wrought bowls, vases, wine pitchers, trays, cups, etc., and the customs authorities classified them as manufactured mineral substances decorated and imposed a duty of 45 per cent. ad valorem upon them. The importers appealed to the Board of General Appraisers, and declared that if the goods were not entitled to entry at 10 per cent. as precious stones they were clearly entitled to entry at 20 per cent. as non-enumerated manufactured articles.
Mr. Kunz was summoned as an expert to prove that jade is a precious stone. He proved to be an uncommonly entertaining witness, and he left with the Board of Classification his own book on precious stones for future reference. He described jade as one of the most precious and sacred of stones in China. It has a high value in that country. Taking up an intricately carved water holder made of jade which was displayed as a sample of the imported goods, Mr. Kunz said that such a vessel could only be used in China by some very distinguished or very rich man. It was an unusually valuable piece of ornamental jade, there being more work on it than was employed in the cutting of the famous Tiffany diamond. Decision in this case was reserved.

Another Soldier Trophy
Tiffany & Co. have just delivered to the Eighth Regiment Armory, Park avenue and Ninety-fifth street, with the compliments of George Ehret, one of the choicest bronzes of a military character to be found in their department. It is entitled "The Defense of the Flag," and is the work of A. Croisy, a noted Parisian sculptor.
The group is a superb reproduction of the monument erected by the French Government to the memory of Gen. Chanzy, at Chanzy Au Mans, France, in recognition of that brave soldier's services in defense of his country's honor.
The group is a study in bronze modeling and the stirring scene depicted incidental to the defense of the flag, in which a brave soldier is being crushed under his horse as the latter is in the agonies of death from a bullet wounds all suggestive of the eminent need of a hospital corps, and it is to this latter body in the Eighth Regiment that Mr. Ehret has presented the trophy.
The base of the bronze bears the following inscription: "The George Ehret Prize, annually awarded to the member of the Hospital Corps, 8th Reg't N. G. N. Y., showing the greatest general proficiency."
Around the base, beneath the inscription, are a succession of oval silver shields, upon which are to be engraved each year the name of the winner.
The group measures over 25 inches in height and is about 22 inches long. It is mounted on a beautiful light green serpentine marble pedestal with rich gilt bronze decorations, which gives it a total height of about six feet, and in its entirety it will easily rank among the richest military trophies to be found in the armories of Greater New York.
