GREAT DIAMOND BUYERS.
The Favorite Stone of the American
Nation.
The diamond trade is a very accu-
rate thermometer of financial pi'OSper-
ity. When times are good the demand
is large. American people buy more
diamonds than any nation on earth:
but when times are bad they practice
economy, and the market is dull. The
revival of prosperity is indicated by-
tlie Treasury statistics, which show
that in 1898 we imported $5,955,789
worth of diamonds and $3,440,076 01
pearls,'while in 1897 we bought only
$1,985,810 worth of diamonds and $1.-
573,7'BS worth of pearls. This. of
course, does not include those smug-
gled. It is probable that the value of
diamonds smuggled into the United
States is greater rthan of any other
article, because it is so easy to con-
ceal them.‘ Major Williams, who was
charge of the special agents and de.
rtectives which are kept 'by the Gov-
ernment in Europe to prevent smug-
gling], says the illicit trade in jewels
had fallen off a great deal since the
reduction of the duty. When the tar-
iff was 50 and 60per cent. the tempta-
tion to smuggle was, of course, much
greater than it is now, when the duty
is only 10 per cent; but at the same
time, he says, competition is so ac-
tive and prices are so ‘close that the
10 per cent. makes a good profit if the
goods can be imported without pay-
ing duty. Consequently, according to
his estimate, fully half the diamonds
sold in the Unite-d States pay nothing
toward the support of the Govern-
ment.
There are various ways of smug-
gling precious stones. They are con.
cealed in cheese, in pomade, in soap,
in cigars, umbrella handles, walking
sticks, in the hollow handles of silver
and tinware, in preserved fruits and
confectionery. There is no compre-
hension of the ingenuity of the d-i-a«
mend trader who wants to cheat the
Government, and he generally suc-
ceeds, because he has every advantage
in his favor. And the manufacturers
and. merchants are always willing to
assist him.—Chi-cago Record.
INTERVIEWING A DEAF WITNESS.
ATypewrlter Plays an Important Part in
a. Trolley Damage Case.
John A. Lynch, fifteen years old,
whose home is at Thirty-ninth street
and Eighth avenue, New York, drove
a milk wagon for his mother, Ellen
Murray, who carries on the. business
left by her first husband when he died.
The son was injured in a collision
between his wagon and an electric
railroad car on November 3, 1807. His
mother, as his guardian ad li-tenr, sued
for $50,000 damages. A sealed ver-
dict in her favor for $10,000 was hand-
ed to Judge Dickey.
Through the collision the plaintiff
was alleged to have been rendered so
deaf that he cannot hear what is said
'-to him, even when the words are
shouted into his ears. During the
trial, while he was in the witness
chair, the railroad company’s lawyer
repeatedly walked up to his side and
loudly asked him questions, to which,
however, there was never any re.-
sponse. .
It was necessary to have the numer-
ous questions put the plaintiff repro-
duced on a typewriter and then sub-
mitted to him for his answers. This
was a rather slow process, and it was
the first occasion, so far as is known,
in which is has been employed in a
case at law.
Lyn-ch alleged that the trolley car
came suddenly upon him and smashed
his wagon. He was, he said, pitched
out and thrown upon his head. The
result was that he became stone deaf.
Experts testified that there was no
way of determining scientifically
whether a person was deaf or not if
the person could be smart enough to
keep up the deception, if there was
any. By their verdict the jury showed
that they believed that Lynch was not
shla:m<m~ing.—New York Herald.
Agriculture in Alaska.
Experiments with a view to demon-
strating the possibility of growing a
variety of food products of the United
States in the soil of Alaska have been
conducted during the past season by
the department of agriculture.
Plot. Georgeson succeeded in rais-
ing’ and maturing oats, barley, flax,
potatoes and a number of vegetables.
He also planted grasses and -‘clovers
which made considerable growth in
the comparatively short season they
were in the ground. The potatoes
grown were of a good quality, and.
when tested were found to be supe-
rior in many respects to those grown
in this vicinity.
Reservations of lands for future ex-
periments were made in the vicinity
of Sitka, on Caodiac Island, in the
Cook Inlet region. Some experiments
were alSO begun in the storage of for-
age plants in silos for feeding the ani-
mals during the winter season.
W'here Life is a Joy. I
The Osage Indians are probably the
wealthiest people per capita on earth,
are aristocrats and scorn manual la- .
bor, according to Agent Pollock’s an-
nual report to the Interior Depart»
ment. Tlhey own over 800 acres of l
land for each man, woman and child, I
each receiving an annuity of over $20.)
in cash.
As an illustration, if an Indian and
his wife have eight children, the an
nual cash income of the family is
over $2,000. Rather leading iris white
brother in this respect, he prefers the
conveniences, luxuries and dissipa-
tions of village life to agricultural avo-
cation. He loves to sing and dance
and rest, and he has plenty of money
to support his family in idleness.—

THE “OPEN DOOR'”
As Applied to the Philippines It is' Nor.
‘ Free Trade.
It is a fearful and wonderful error
into which some American journals
have fallen in this country, as well as
some of the London editors, in their
comments upon the “open door”. pol-
icy, to be applied to the Philippines.
They assume that this pjolicy is, as
the Westminster Gazette says. ‘_'the
application of the free trade principle
to an American possession—a tremen-
dous departure, the significance of
which is hardly yet realizable.”
The. “open door” does not mean free
trade at all. The door is not to be
open, save as it is open to all alike,
upon the same conditions. The ex-
planation of Secretary of State Hay
confirms this statement. He inter-
prets the term as meaning that the
tariff to be put in force in the Philip-
pines will ~bear equally upon the im-
portations of all nations. No advan-
tage will be given to the products of
any country, not even to,those of the
Uni-ted States. The “open door” means
that the market of the Philippines will
be exactly as accessible to France,
England, Ger-many or the exporters of
any other country, as it will be acces-
sible to the producers of the United ;
States. We deny ourselves any ad-
vantage, and will collect the same du-
ties upon our own imports as we will
collect upon the imports from others.
The islands will be under American
administration and the duties will be
collected by American officers. If
there be'a surplus of revenue above
the expenditures for government and
public improvements, that surplus
will of course be turned into the treas-
ury of the United States.
The Philippines export far more
than they import. The figures for
1896 were; Total exports, $20,175,000;
total imports, $10,631,250; exports to
the United States, $4,892,857; imports
from the United States, $162,446.
Those statistics show clearly enough
Why the United States would be acting
against its own interests to establish
free trade with the Philippines. It is
to be assumed that under American
administration the exchange of pro-
ducts between the United States and
the Philippines will be less one-sided.
Freed from the discriminating Spanish
tariff, that market will be as open to
the United States as to the rest of the
world. But this Government will
continue to protect its hemp, its su-
gar and its tobacco at home, as well
as the labor engaged in these indus-
tries, which could not be brought into
competition with the cheap native ra-
bor of the tropical archipelago.
Ways in Mexico.
The arrangement of furniture in a
Mexican house is much more formal
than in the United States. It is a very
common sight to see a splendidly fur-
nished parlor with a row of straight
backed chairs all alike with their
backs against the wall and as close
together as they can be placed.
Heavy single doors, such as are used
in the United States, are practically
unknown in Mexican houses either at
entrances or between interior rooms.
All doors open in the middle, and
are fastened with bolts top and bot-
tom. -Exterior doors are always fit-
ted with glass panels, for they also
serve as windows. All such doors
opening on the street or open court
are fitted with solid shutters that are
folded at the sides out of sight when ;
not in use.
A good Mexican cook relieves the
mistress of the house of worry and
responsibility in a manner that is al—
most unknown in the United States.
The cook is given so much a day, and
with this amount she will purchase
each morning all the provisions for
the day, even the staples that are
usually bought in large quantities in
other countries. On a dollar a day :1
cook will provide a very good table
for a family of three or four, and get
enough beans and tortillas and Chile
to set the servants“ table besides.
They can really do better than their
mistresses, because they can usually
drive sharper bargains with the mar-"
ket men of their own class, and they
have more patience to haggle over the
last penny—The Modern Mexican.

Wheeler’s Coolness in Battle.
During the battle of New Hope
Church, “Fighting Joe” Wheeler, who
was, as usual out with the confeder-
ate firing lines, was saluted by an
aide—de—camp: “Gen. Walker’s com-
pliments, sir. The General intends an
advance over this ground and would
like to know if there is any masked
artillery on your front.”
”I’ll soon find out, Maj-or Ross,”
said’Gen. Wheeler; and, beckoning to
his staff, he galloped forward to a
slight eminence and planned a guidon.
,A moment later a puff of smoke in the
distance, and the shrilllng of a shell
as it flew over them shamed what was
ahead.
"Major, you may tell Gen. Walker
‘tlhalt there is a masked battery in
front of this position,” said Gen.
r Wheeler, giving his horse the rein.

Moody and the Sinless Man.
Some time ago a man who claimed
perfection went to the Evangelist
Moody and comzrnisera-ted him on his
low level of Christian experience. Mr.
Moody. in a kind"ma:nncr. asked his
caller if he never sinned nor did any
wrong.
“No; I have not sinner] for years.
neither have I done anything that was

“Well, I’m glad to know it.” said

THE BACE PROBLEM.
One Colored Brother Says Its Solution
Rests With the Negroes.
The sentimentalists who are shocked
by events in the Southshould read
the address that Booker T. Washing-
ton delivered before the Manhattan-
Brooklyn Conference of Congregation-
al Churches. Professor Washington
is a colored man, but he does not ask
for consideration on that account. He
is working for the elevation of tie
members of his race that they may be
respected because they are worthy of
respect. He has given thought enough
to the question to lead him to form
the conclusion that the white race oc-
cupies its prominent position to-day
through the operation of the law of ev-
olution. It is fit to surviv . The col‘
ored race in this country will hold
only that place for which it is fitted.
This is hard, common sense. Profess-
or Washington knows that the colored
man who can do certain work better
than the white man will be employed
in preference to the White man. He
nothing to do with the case, when the
fitness of the colored man has been
proved.
This Alabama negro touched bottom
when he said that the negroes made a
mistake at the beginning of their free-
dom by putting emphasis on the wrong
things. Politics and the holding of of-
fice were deemed of supreme import-
ance and were considered to the ex-
‘ clus-ion of almost everything else and
1 they accepted responsibilities which
their experience and their education
had not fitted them to perform with
success or credit. He advised his
people to disregard these things until
they were better qualified, and he
maintained that the negro to-day
should seek educatidn and property.
He gave this advice because he was
convinced that ill the North and in the
South alike the race which owned the
property, paid the taxes and possessed
intelligence and stability of purpose .
was the race which controlled the gov-
ernment. He did not believe in any
coddling or other weakening and de-
moralizing process, but he insisted on
the necessity for the negroes to ele-
, varte themselves.
I Now the bearing of this sort of talk
is evident. When the negroes prove
themselves fit to control the govern-
ment of Southern cities there will be
no more race riots, if this man’s theo-
ries are sound. When the negroes
: own stock in banks, when they man-
age large industrial enterprises, when
they have education and understand
the rights of property, then they will
come into the enjoyment of those
rights which seem now to be denied to
them! “'e know that there are ignor-
ant and shiftless whites in the South,
but the whites are so far above the
blacks that there can be no compari-
son between them. The whites will
not consent to be ruled by a lot of
ignorant negroes. ‘We may regret the.
use of violence, but that regret will
not prevent the exercise of force on
occasions when the people on the spot
consider it necessary. The race prob-
lem in the South will not be solved
till the negrocs themselves have elim-
inated from it' all questions of their
fitness to hold office by proving their
ability to compete in the industrial
race with the whites—Brooklyn Eagle

Story at the Bishop’s Expense.
The Archbishop of York told a good
story at his own expense. He was
recently in a train, and near him sat
two drunken men. Presently one of
them remarked to the other that some
one had robbed him of a $5 note, and
he proposed to find it if he had to
search the whole train.
“As it happened,” said the Arch-
bishop, “I had a $5 note and that was
all, and as I was alone in the carriage
with them I felt a little bit uncom-
fortable. Then it occurred to me to
pretend to be asleep.
“Sure enough, in a minute more 1
was accosted with: ‘I say, neighbor?
but I made no answer. Then the man
grabbed my arm and shook me, but
to no purpose, as I didn’t wake up.
He kept on shaking, however, and al-
ways a little more forcibly, until at
last his friend interposed with: ‘I say,
Bill, let him alone, will you; he’s
drunker’n you are!’ ” .

A WISE DOG.
Knows the Time of Day and Hust es for
His Meals Systemalically.
Jack of Cummings's mill is described
as a remarkable dog. Cummings’s mill
is in Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn, and
Jack was born there while the saws
were buzzing and the big wheels were
revolving. He is half mastit't'. half
water spaniel. and is a very handsome
animal. I-Iis extraordinary . intelli-
gence is displayed in many ways. but
its greatest development is manifested
in the procuring of three square meals
per diem for Jack, except on Sunday,
when he is content with two. As Jack
is only fourteen months old great
things are expected of him in future.
He is of no expense whatever to Mr.
Cummings, the mill owner. He hus-
tles for himself and does it systemat-
ically and successfully. The moment
the mill engine begins to whistle at 7
o’clock in the morning Jack gets up.
gives himself a shake, emits one short
. yelp and trots off to the house of Mrs.
Moss, who lives three or four doors
from the mill. Arrived there, he seats
himself and gazes earnestly at the
gate as if expecting a coming event.
He is seldom disappointed, for usually
in less than a minute Mrs. Moss
emerges from the rear of the house
with a basket of bones, which are
soon cracking between Jack’s splendid
white teeth. If by chance the good
woman delays more than two minutes
precisely Jack throws his muzzle to-
ward the sky and howls.
,.'At noon the whistle sounds once
more and this time Jack hies him to
the house of Mr. Burger, a‘Grand
Army man, but he does not step out-
side the gate. He enters and scratches
at the back door until duly served with
his noon-tide meal. At six o’clock he
sallies forth for the third time'and de-
scends" to the cellar of Mrs. Norton’s
house, three blocks away, where he
finds a plate of good things prepared
for him. More than once a predatory
cat has forestalled Jack and cleaned
the plate. 011 such occasions the dog
(will give two yelps.
And now comes the most extraordi-
nary phase of Jack’s intellectual char-
acter. The mill whistle does not blow
on Sunday, and yet at just 7, as usual,
he is in front of Mrs. Moss’s gate with
the usual expectancy in his eye. Only
on Sunday, so it is solemnly declared,
he never yelps. '
And, again, as it is the war veter-
an’s custom to take only two meals on
Sunday, breakfast and a 6 o’clock din-
ner, Jack never gives him a call on
that day, but is on time at Mrs. Nor-
ton’s at 5 o’clock, when she partakes
of her Sunday evening meal, her week
day dinner being at 6 p. m.
Now, as Jack does not carry a watch
the question naturally arises, how
does he know the time, even to the
minute? Of course he is aware it is
Sunday, seeing that the whistle doesn’t
blow, also that on the Sabbath Mr.
Burger has no meal at noon while Mrs.
Norton’s dinner is at 5 instead of 6
o’clock, but 110w does he know that it
is 5 o'clock?
THIEF AS THIEF CATCHER.
Offers to Keep Crooks Away in Return for
Leniency to His \Vifc.
Insurance of a distinctly novel char-
acter was suggested to State street
merchants yesterday. Immunity from.
thieves who operate in crowded stores
was offered to Charles A. Stevens &
Bros, in return for leniency .to a
young woman who was accused of shop
lifting.
“Be merciful to the girl I love,” dra-
matically pleaded George Smith ‘to the
manager, “and ‘I will guarantee that
the crooks of Chicago will give your
store a wide berth for one week.”
Smith followed this startling pro-
posal with the explanation that he
was a notorious pickpocket, was ac-
quainted with every man in the “pro-
fession” in Chicago, and volunteered
to stand guard at the store entrance
for one week during the holiday “har-
vest” and to intercept every sneak
thief or “store worker” who sought ad-
mission. if intercession was made in
his wife’s behalf. .
Smith spoke freely of his criminal
life to the State street storekeepers, as
he appealed for clemency for his wife.
He said:
“It’s her first offence, and you can
save an innocent girl. I am the recog-
nized head of a gang of thieves oper—
ating in all the big cities of the coun-
try. The life is distasteful to me. but
I have tried in vain time and again to
get a foothold in a respectable posi-
tion. My past record pursues me, and
I cannot make a satisfactory showing
to prospective employers, The other
night I attended Booth-Tucker’s meet-
ing and his talk on criminal coloniza-
tion moved me to tears and strength-
ened my determination to devote my-
self to an ”honest life. It’s hard to get
a start. ’ ‘
“My first offence in crime was as a
Chicago ncwsboy. I lost my week”;
savings in a game of ‘craps.’ The boy
who won them slept next to me in an
alley that night, and I could not resist
the temptation to rob him. I went
from bad to worse, till I had become a
recognized plckpocket expert and a fa-
miliar police-court character.”—-Chica-

Chicago Student Who Mastered the llIys—
tery of the “J.”
One of the students of the Univer-
sity of Chicago went to a restaurant
on Jackson street with two friends
who had fought with the First regi-
ment. at Santiago. Naturally they
talked of the war, and although the
student showed considerable knowl-
'edge of the campaign, his pronunci-
ation of Spanish proper names was:
bad. Invariably he gave the Spanish
“J” its English sound.
His companions who were better
posted on the Castilian tongue, stood
it as long as they could, and finally
one of them said: “See here, if you
vant to talk war with us you must
pronounce those Spanish words as
they should be.» Say ‘San Huan’ and
’Monteho,’ and remember that ‘Hunta’
is proper. Don’t give the words the

Brakemen as Amateur Oculists.
The ease with which brakemen on
railroad trains remove from passen-
gers’ eyes cinders which fly into them
every time the engine sends out a. puff
of smoke is a cause for comment. On
a New York Central train running be-
tween here and Niagara Falls is a
young man who is a. genius as an ocu-
list, and his services are in great de-
mand. It is whtsmred among the
train hands that his income is very
largely increased through his ability
to operate on 113er so afflicted,
and that gratitude after the removal
of the disturbing cinder is not meas-
ured and his largesse is real and in
proportion to the pain borne by the
sufferer. .
A young man who wore the uniform
of the New York Central service with
whom the writer talked recently
while on a train for Niagara Falls
said that he was kept busy after the
train had crossed the Harlem Bridge
in removing Cinders. .
“They accumulate in the tunnel,”
he said. “and I always walk through
the train after we leave the 138th
street station and relieve the suffer-
ers. By that time they have succeed.-
ed in rubbing the cinder into a bad
corner and are ready for any kind of
treatment. When I first went to rail-
rd‘ading I discovered that it would be
a good thing to know something
about removing Cinders, so I went to
an oculist and took a course of les-
sons. As a result I am able to re-
move the most stubborn one without
trouble or pain to the patient. Yes, I
have earned the amount I paid the
oculist for the lessons many times
over.”-—New York Herald.
“Wise Forethought of an Elephant.

that it might be,given a bath. A

speed down the alley toward the ele-
