A DIAMOND IN A RATS STOMACH,
ESan francisco Cllroniclc.7

[San Francisco Chroniclo.J
About two years ago Mrs. Schultz,
residing on Ellis street, near Leaven-
worth, lost from her jewel case an I'M
set diamond of considerable value. \
Chinese domestic in her employ was
arrested on suspicion of having stolen
the jewel, The pagan strongly pro-
tested his innocence, and for lack Of
evidence he was discharged from custo-
dy. Mrs. Schultz abandoned all hope
of ever seeing the lost stone again and
the matter was forgotten. The strange
part of the story occurred a few nights
ago. The family had retired for the
night when they were disturbed by a
loud scratching noise in the bathroom,
as il some one were at work cutting
through the windows. The male por-
ton of the household were aroused,
and, armed to the teeth, they prepared
to march on what they supposed to be
burglars. The bathroom door was
cautiously opened and w-dip,
carried by one ofthe family, was thrust
into the partly opened door and a sickly
glare of light cast over the apartment.
1t was strong enough, however, to dis
close to the searchers, not robber,
but huge rat, which had in some
manner got into the bath-tub and was
vainly endeavoring to climb out over
the slippery, zinc-lined sides. The
scratching of his claws against the
metal made the noise that had awaken
ed the family. The honsc-dog, a
Scotch terrier. was called in to dispatch
the rodent and made short work of
him. In killing the rat the dog
mangled its body frightiully, cutting
it open so that the entrails protruded.
The faucet was turned on to clean out
the tub and a scintiIlating spark in the
debris of the dead rat attracted atten-
ton. II was picked zap and proved
to be the diamond which Mrs. Schultz
had lost two years ago.

4 FIRE BURNING FIFTY YEARS.

Among the earliest minc fires of con
sequence, of which this region has been
the unfortunate victim, is that known
as the HBurning Moun,ain." ut .Iusu-
lar Colliery. 1t WAS started in 1879, is
still burning, and promises to continue
for decades to come. Nearly fifty
years ago drift was opened into the
mountain near Mine Hill Gap, about
four miles from Pottsville, by Hugh
Dongherty and Michael Lanuo. They
worked what was called the "Jugu!ar
VIENNA seam between thirty and
| forty feet thick. 1t was then custo-
mary, at workings Of that description,
in midwintcr, to build large fire at
the mouth of the drift, to prevent the
accumulation Of ice therein. One Sat
urday night the fire was left as usual.
Monday morning disclosed to opera
tors and miners the result Of their
folly. The timbers of the drift had ig-
nited, and the flames had been com
municated to the coal. The place was
abandoned, and all efforts to uucnch
the fire, which annually grew more in
tense, ended. The devouring elemcnt
held undisturbed sway and turned the
mountain into burning mass. A few

THE ANTf-RING MOVEMENT.

Each passing year sees this move

The supcrstitious tenacity with which.
right or wrong, men would hold to
! party rule has received so many rude
shocks that party grip is losing a good
deal of its disastrous efficiency. Party
fealty is, i'll principle, an excellent
thing, but when it is played upon by
designing persons as an instrument to
individual ends it becomes fraud and
Il snare. The Old distinction between
use anu abuse is ono which many of our
jealous Democrats refused to recopniZe
Plunderlng and misgovernment have
gone TO such lengths, however, that a
sober second thought is forced upon the
most hard-hcadcd.
Our notice has been called To this
by the inspection of circular which
pledges it Signers to rescue the Dem
ocratic party, so far as they can, from
tho thraltlom of Rings. 1t proposes
that good nominees shall be presented
to the people regardless ofthe dictation
of those politicians who seem to claim
the party as their private property.
We hope that the undertaking NAV
succeed, provided it avoids the shoals
on which similar movements have
been stranded.
1t sometimes turns out that these
auti-ring movements are gotten up for
the benefit OF Office seekers who are as
much politicians as those whom they
propose to turn out. Their selfish pur-
poses are so thinly disguised as to be
apparent to the public and Thus check
all the enthusiasm that might other
wise be displayed.
Ihis defect ought by all means to be
avoided. And this can only be done
oy pledging the leaders of the move
ment positively and absolutely not to
be candidates for any Office.
