MIR. woRMsER RUNS THE STAND
Selling Roasted Chestnuts in Front OF
the Subtrcasury.

NelU York Times.
A portly gentleman attired in broad
cloth, wearing high silk hat, and with
large diamond sparkling upon his am
pie shirt bosom, stood in front of the SUBJ
treasury building, at Wall and Nassau
streets, yesterday afternoon, selling sp-
pies and roasted chestnuts. The spects-
Gle was novel one, and attracted much
attention during the brief period that it
cognized in the well-dressed vendor Mr..
Isidore Wormser, senior member of the
prosperous banking house of l. & S.
Wormser whose office is in the Drexel
building, just across the street from the
subtreasury.
Mr.. Wormser, it appears, has fond
ness for apples. Observing some tempt
ing, rosy checked fruit piled up on the
little stand kept by bronZed Italian, at
tho base of the subtreasury steps, he pur-
chased quarters worth and ordered 1t
sent over to his Office. "But have no
boy" said the Italian timidly, "Woll,
take them over yourself, and will watch
your stand until you get back" said the
wealthy banker. Tho vendor obeyed
these instructions with alacrity. He had
uOU kOt tWcuby Aoct away AIoih tho btnuu
when boy stepped UP and inquired
brusquely, "Whose's a runnin' this ere
stand?"
II am" promptly replied Mr.. Wormser.
"You p exclaimed the boy, eyeing the
bankers diamond stud with mingled curl
losity and doubt.
"Yes, ! am" answered Mr.. Wormser.
"Whst do you want2"
"Well, you are daisy" said the boy,
reassured by the bankers business-like
air. "Gi' me cup O. ches'nuts."
| The jeweled hand of the impromptu
veuder was thrust under the dirty flannel
shirt that covered tho hot chestnuts, and
the next instant Mr.. Wormser was pour
ing half pint of nuts into the lads coat
pocket. He tried to make the boy pay 10
cents for cents worth of nuts, but the
scheme would not work. Other CUSTOM
ers came along In rapid succession, and
Mr.. Wormser served them with grace
full readiness. He took pains not
to undercharge anybody, and during
the two or three minutes that the Italian
was away he took in q small handful Of
change. A few Of his acquaintances made
purchases at the stand expressly to
make game of him, but he did not seem
Ia the least bit disconnected. When the
proprietor of the stand saw the brisk busi-
ness that had been carried on in his ab-
sence he said, regretfully: IL wish stay

THE CLEVELAND GEM.
The Largest Diamond Ever Cut i'm
This Country.

Gov. Cleveland has lent his name, at
which the republicans grew pale, to point
moral and adorn diamond. Tho larg
est diamond ever cut in the United States
is ut present in the hands OF Simon Des-
sau, of Maiden Lane, in on unfinished
state, but already rejoicing in the title of
the Cleveland gem" The stone was
found in South Africa eleven years
ago, and was Immediately pur-
chased by "a London syndicate,
who. in the most approved style of large
diamond purchasers, locked it up in a
safe until some wealthy potentate should
buy it. The London syndicate had large
offers, and the London syndicate refused
them one aud all. After eleven years of
mute, inglorious safe residence the dia-
mend was purchased by the Maiden lane
dealer. 1t weighed 75 carats in its uncut
condition, and when faceted will prob
ably represent so carats. Its value will
be little less than $4,000.
Father and had disturbance about
it," said Mr.. Dessau's son yesterday. He
wanted to name it Cleveland before
Cleveland was elected. | desired to call
1t Blaine. At last / said, I'll compromise
with you, and if Cleveland be elected
We'll call it the Cleveland gen. During
the election fracas | spoke Of the diamond
as Blaine, while father invariably alluded
to it as Cleveland. | used TO say, Blaine
wants facet on his left side,' while father
was accustomed to remark, 'Clevelands i

morning. He's real GEM At last the
result was known, and /, who had clung
to Blaine with as much persistence as Jay
Gonld, saluted our diamond as Cleve-
land, and the Cleveland gem it will be till
the end of tho tale"
Gov Cleveland was shown a photo
graph of the stone and was highly pleased
with it, 1t is said that q subscription
will be made by the wealthy democrats
OF Buffalo to purchase the gem aud pre-.
sent it to its godfather before his inau-
gnration. The Cleveland gem" will be

moved along, throwing wator one some
