faro game, and was engaged in book
making on the Kimberly race course and
conducted a popular scheme called "The
Canary" In this, according to Edel-
man, II numbered cards were sold at G1
each. Similar cards were in front of n
cage containing two or three trained
canaries. When the numbers were all
sold the operator opened the cage door,
and one of the birds walked out and
picked up In its bill the number which
won el0, the operators profit being CO.
Edelman says that Solomon cleared
$1,000 day on the race course with de-
vices like these. and then began to en-
gage in diamond buying. Through the
services of lot of negro women he sue
ceeded in keeping up constant commu-
nication with the diamond miners and
secured great quantities of diamonds. Ii
Is alleged that an immense 1850 carat
diamond was found and sold to Solomon
for n song; that he seoreted 1t in his door
yard, but that the detective department
traced the diamond to him, and he was
forced to return II.
The companies owning the diamond
fields, Edelman says, determined TO
prosecute Solomon, but he hurriedly de-
parted and went TO Europe. lie sold a
few diamonds In Paris, n few more In
London. and with CISCO in Bank of Eng
land notes and u bundle of diamonds of
great value, set sail for America.
After this affidavit had been read the
defendants counsel retorted that Edel-
man was unworthy of belief, and had
himself served n term in South Africa as
convict. Solomon denies that he
treated his wife cruelty, and says that
her bad temper drove him insane. Judge
Donohue reserved his decision.
1t Is claimed by the prosecution that
Solomon deposited $1,000 In his name in
bank in this city after his arrival here.
The defense say that the money was de-
posted by Solomon for a friend who
could not read or write.
Ii is alleged that Solomon has had
large transactions since his arrival in
New York with Herman Levy, the dia-
mond importer of No. l05 Fulton street.
Mr.. Levy declined to make any state
ment about the matter when interro-
gated last EVENING" New York sun.

No sensible person need be told that
pure water is as essential to good health
as pure air, and We can not be too care
ful of that part of this most necessary
article of domestic economy to be used
in cooking and for drinking. Water has
an immense absorbing capacity, and tho
colder it is the greater the facility with
which it takes up impure gases. An
open vessel of water will render the air
OF a room purer, but the water itself
will, in few hours, be rendered totally
unfit for use by reason Of the fact that
most all the carbonic-acid gas and am
MONA, the result of respired gases, is
taken up by it. Hence, water for cook
ing or drinking should, if kept inside,
be in tightly-covered vessels. Where
well or cistern water is used the better
plan is to keep the drinking pail on the
outside.
Certain it is til no prudent house
wife, knowing these facts, will use water
that has stood uncovered, for any length
Of time, in an occupied room. When
studying cleanliness and ventilation do
not forget the important adjunct to COM
fort and health--pure water.

His name was Moses Sparrow. He
was very green. That was the idea
which always came into Miss Pages
mind when she looked ut her country
landlady's son. Such a rustic youth,
with such fair hair, worn long, such big
blue eyes, such sloping shoulders, such
a lamb-like expression. And, being
there at the farmhouse, whittier she
had been sent to spend the summer
months, the city belle resolved that she
would try her powers of fascination
upon the boy, who struck her as so good
n subject for Irritation, in which all the
fun was to be on her side and all the
sentiment on his. And at it she went,
beginning with smile, Il look, n word,
and rejoicing to see the fish bite so
readily. She enjoyed herself very much
until she grew tired of it and then. she
decided on breaking the heart she had
won, and enjoying the crash. So she
lured him out in the garden and made
him sit beside her on the bench under
the wistarias, and said, sadly: "Tm
going home next week. I shall send
you wedding cards when I am married.
I am to be married to rich old gentle
man next winter" Then she waited to
see him drop at her feet; but he did not
drop. He only said: "Wal, I'm real
glad I kinder felt afraid I'd been 60
in too far with you. I'm sort O but

drown yourself, like t'other summer
boarler did, in the mill-pond. She had
my photograph in her pocket when she
was fished out" Then he smiled at
Miss Page, and she arose and sailed
away from him with great dignity. But
Moses sat within the arbor q while
longer, and laughed 80 loudly that his
mother heard him in the kitchen, where
she was sprinkling clothes, and thought
