South African Diamonds.
In an article entitled “The Original
Rock of the South African Diamond” in
National Science, Prof. Bouncy says the
first diamond wasI found- in some gravel
from the Orange river. Three vears
later it was obtained from a peduliar
yellowish deposit near the present site
of Kimberley. This diamantiferous
“yellow ground,” as the miners called
it, was found, as it was worked down-
wards, to change gradually into a more
coherent rock .of a dark green-blue
color-termed “blue ground.” The dia-
monds are often found, by their anom—
alous optical character, to be in condi-
tion of strain, and they are sometimes
only fragments of crystals. The rock ,
in which they are found has been con-
siderably affected by ' secondary min-
eral changes, brought‘abcut, probably,
by the action of heated water.
Giraffe Is Disappearing.
I A good giraffe skin is worth from
‘ten to twenty dollars in South Africa
.to-day, and much more in Europe. On
their hunting trips ten Or fifteen years
ago it was a common matter for one
hunter to kill 40 or 50 of these grace‘
in] animals in one day.

To the Editor:
I think it my duty to inform
your readers of a remedy that
should be in every household.
I was a martyr to Dyspepsia
and Constipation and tried
everything in vain. In despair I
bought a ten cent package of the
U. S. Army & Navy Tablets, 17
East 14th St, New York, and
in three days I felt better and
afterwards I bought a twenty-
five cent package and now I am
completely cured. Your druggist
am and must get it for you.
Yours truly,
A READER.

Death of George Washington
Fitly Celebrated.
GRATION BI PRESIDENT ll’lllNLEl.
Impressive Ceremonies at Mount
Vernon by (Masonic Bodies and
Red Men—Senator Depew‘s Ad-
dress In Washington.
IVASHINGTON’, Dec. 15.—\Vith sol-
emn pomp and circumstance, with cere-
monies beautiful, impressivegand appro-
priate, in the presence of a distinguished
assemblage and in the full splendor of
ideal autumn weather, the centennial of
the death of George, \Vashington was
commemorated yesterday at Mount Ver-
non. The ceremonies were elaborately
planned and'successfully carried 'to frui-
tion by the Masonic bodies and by the
Red Men of the United States. Scores of
beautiful wreaths and bunches of ever-
green were then deposited within the
tomb, one of the most beautiful tokens,
an immense wreath of ivy immortelles
and acacia blossoms,_ being offered by
President. McKinley. .
' The procession returned to the cast'
front of‘t’hc mansion, where President
McKinley, introduced by Grand Master
Duke, delivered an eloquent oration as
his tribute to Washington. In closing he
said:
“The struggling republic for which
\Vashington was willing to give his life
and for which he ever freely spent his
fortune and which at all times was the
object of his most earnest solicitude has
steadily and wonderfully developed along
the lines which his Sagacity and tore-
sight carefully planned. It has stood ev-
ery trial and at the dawn of a new
reentury is stronger than ever to carry
forward its mission of liberty. During all
the intervening years it has been true,
forever true, to the precepts of the con-
stitution which he and his illustrious col~
leagues framed for its guidance and gov-
ernment. He was the national architect,
says Bancroft, the historian, and but for
him the nation could not have achieved
its independence, could not have formed
its union, could not have put the federal
government into operation. He had nei-
ther precedent nor predecessor. His work
was original and constructive and has
successfully stood the severest tests.”
At 3 o’clock-a delegation of the Im-
proved Order of Red Men, in charge of
the great ineohonec, Hon. George E.
Green of Binghamton, N. Y., and Hon.
Charles H. Litchman of Marblehead,
Mass, arrived at Mount Vernon to pay
the tribute of 220,000 Red Men to the
memory of \Vashington. He was one of
the founders of the Sons of Liberty, to
which the Red Men trace back their ori-
gin through varying names. The chiefs
to officiate at the tomb were selected by
Great Incohonee Green, who appointed
as master of ceremonies .Hon. Urban H.
Hester of Ohio, past sachem.
After Chief Hester had read the call
for the observance of the day and Great
Prophet Robert T. Daniels had invoked
the Great Spirit, Acting Great Incoho-
nee Litchman pronounced the oration up-
on \Vashington.
Last night the order supplemented
Vernon ceremonies with
elaborate exefcises at Convention hall,
where patriotic music by the Marine
band, songs and addresses formed fea-
tures of an interesting programme. Sen-
ator Chauncey M. Dcpew of New York
was the orator of the evening and was
given a hearty reception as he was intro-
duced by the presiding officer as “the'
greatest orator of his kind.” Dr. Depew
spoke in part as follows:
“In the evolution of 100 years the pres-
idency has reached the dignity and power
desired by \Vashington, but denied by all
his contemporaries except Hamilton. The
possibilities of the chief magistracy were
discovered by Jefferson when he surren-
dered constitutional scruples for national
safety by the purchase of Louisiana.

They startled the country when General -
Jackson seized. the sovereign state of
South Carolina by the throat. They re-
ceived the. sanction of popular approval
when in the stress of civil war Lincoln,
by :1 stroke of his pen, confiscated $400,-
000.000 of recognized property by freeing
.,i u. al.000 of slaves.
“The necessities of the situation in our
island protectorate and possessions have
devolved still greater duties and graver
responsibilities on President McKinley.
Extraordinary centralization and concen-
tration of power at the federal capital
have created one of the foremost of na—
tions, without impairing the rights, the
proper independence or the self govern-
ment of the states. The president of the
United States is the most powerful ruler
in the world, but only as the executive of
a free people, to whom every four years-
hc. surrenders his office and prerogatives.
