A Magnificent Diamond.

The magnificent diamond. belonging
to a syndicate and recently submitted
to Queen Victoria for her inspection,
has in cutting turned out to be finer
and more valuable than was at first
supposed. In its present complete
shape it weighs 180 carats, is of the
first water, free from all imperfections,
and of extraordinary brilliance. Ex-
perts declare that it surpasses in size
and quality all the historic diamonds,
including the Regent, the Star of the
South, the Orloff, and even the Kohl,
noor: Its value has not been deter
mined. but must be counted by millions
of dollars. The celebrated diamond
belonging to the king of Portugal
should, if genuine,-of which some
doubt is entertained,-b worth, ac-
cording to the rule of computation,
some $28, 600, 600. If the new diamond
has a greater value than that it will
need to be brought over here. Nobody
but an immensely rich American would
be foolish enough to purchase it.-New
York Commercial Advertiser.

Tho Sweeney Law.

Des Moines, Iowa, Special Telegram, Oct.
25.-This was the day set for hearing oral
arguments by the supreme court in cases
involving the validity OF the Sweeney law re-
lating to corporations OF other states doing
business in Iowa. The counsel for the cor
porations asked for a continuance till the
December term, on the ground that the
printed argument OF tho attorneys for the
state raises points OF law and fact " hich
they are not prepared to discuss. The at
torney general signified his readiness to
proceed, but assented to the continuance,
so the oral arguments will be heard on
Dec. 8. Following is o synopsis OF the
points OF the printed arguments:
The railroad companies claim that the
Jaw is in violation OF the constitution Of
the United States.' First, in that il inn
pairs the obligation Of the CONTRACT be-
tween the railroad company and the sta to.
Second, that the law is in further VIOLA
tiOn OF the constitution of the United
States in that it amounts to q regulation Of
commerce among the several states. Third,
that 1t il repugnant to the fourteenth
amendment to the constitution OF the Unit
ed States. Fourth, thatit is sunconstitution-
al in that it is an attempt to interfere with
the Jurisdiction OF the federal courts as es.
tablished by the constitution OF the United
states and the laws Of congress.
The attorney general in his argument
claims:
First. that the law is q valid exercise OF
the police power of the state; that there is no
contract between the state and the railroad
companies; that there never has been any
law in Iowa giving authority to q foreign

"LET HER GO, GALLAGHERr'
Where and How This WELL Know
Phrase Originated.

Where and How This We1l.Known
Phrase Originated.
l find myself in the position to con-
tribute something to the current litera-
ture in regard to slang phrases. In
the Sunday Sayings of last week there
is paragraph to this effect: Il have
wondered where the slang phrases,
Let her 60, Gallagher and 'Chippie,
get your hair CUT originated They
are not particularly bright or meaning
on a casual hearing. and l am at loss
to account for the universally of their
usage, The first phrase, Let her go,
Gallagher" l first heard in Kentucky
several years ago. and have marked
its gradual spreading. The circum-
stances under which it originated were
these: In Harrodsburg, Ky, there was
a terrible bully and desparado, Bob
Gallagher, who had at different times
killed some six or eight men. but un-
der such circumstances that he always
escaped punishment upon the plea Of
self-defense. In his broils he was
usually abetted by his two sons,
and the trio were a terror in
the community. During the Pc
riod of lawlessness which sue
ceeded the war he applied for the
position of Town Marshal or policeman.
The authorities thought it might prove
a good thing, as he and his sons would
be held in check, to some extent. and
they needed just such person to deal
with the unruly element which was
causing so much trouble. He was
sworn in. and with good effect for u
time. He inaugurted perfect reign
of terror, and for several years it work
ed like charm. Finally one day some
turbulent spirits came in from neigh
boring county, and, under the infu-
ence of liquor. there was row, which
Gallagher and his two sons failed to
subdue with the accustomed liberal
use of their clubs. Pulling out pistol,
he threatened to shoot. Quick. as
thought the other fellow-Hanks, l be-
lieve, was his name-pulled his pistol
and snapped it SO close to Gallagher
that it burned the button on his vest,
shouting as he did so: "Let her go,
Gallagher" Gallagher did 'let her
CO." and killed Hanks instantly. He
and his sons then fired number OF
shots into the dead body of his victim.
The murder and trial by which he was
acquitted created great sensation at
the time, and the account of it was
spread far and wide. coupled with the
phrase, "Iet her 60. Gallagher" which
has since become by-word. st Louis

A DELUDED ARISTOCRAT.
Badly Deceived by the Appearance of
an Unassuming Young Man.


an Unassuming Young Man.
A matron and marriageable daugh-
ter of my acquaintance have been stay
ing all summer at one of the largest
hotels. Nine. la Mere has long since
learned the charm there is in exclusive
ness, either real or apparent and prac-
tees it accordingly. During the first
part of the summer they sat at the
table quite alone by themselves, reserv-
ing all sociability for the drawing-room
and piazza. Several weeks ago, how
ever, the hotel became crowded, and
the head waiter asked of them permis
sion to place at their table new ar
rival for whom they were anxious to
make room. They objected, but were
too polite to say so. At the next meal
the new arrival made his appearance.
A most refined, respectable, but unas-
suming looking man. After few days
the mother allowed herself to be drawn
into desultory conversation, and the
daughter unbent as well. Very soon
inquiries began to be made by other
manageable daughters mammas, and
the polite hints for introductions as
we'll. Madame asserted that she did
not know his name. That gave zest to
the hunt She must find out At din
ner one night she said to him that they
hoped to meet him at the shop later
on; she would be glad to present him to
some pleasant people.
I'm very sorry, madame. but you
really must excuse me. am in deep
mourning and trouble. and do not feel
in the mood for gayeties.''
Naturally madame excused him
both to herself and to her friends, and
the marriageable daughter had it quite
her own way. Things went on smooth
ly enough, but very, very slightly.
They learned his name and called him
by it, but condolences went no further.
So beautifully behaved. so refined, so
unassum;ng he was that madame and
mademoiselle both became convinced
that he was infinitely better than he
seemed. One morning at breakfast their
table compan on announced in the quiz
etest sort of way that he left that day.
His sad holiday was over, he said He
must return to the dreadful city.
''But, madame he said, ''you have
geen SO very kind, hope, if can ever
serve you. you will surely let me
know"
Il certainly will" heartily responded
the dame. Nothing will give me
greater pleasure than to meet you
again this winter. Won't you tell me
your address, Mr.. Smith?'' "Oh, Ger.
tainly,' he said though he looked bit
surprised, as if she knew it very well;
"a note 10 the - house Zone of the

she jotted it down.

Save Your Sugar.

A young housekeeper may know.
perhaps, that her lack of experience in
particular branch of cookery is some
reason why she should not meet with
unqualified success in that direction.
but just why, for instance, with recipe
OF authority before her. and after hav-
ing put forth her best endeavor to make
cake for a very special occasion, she
should at the last hour find it marred
BY heavy streak through its center.
or why in taking the layer cake from
its pans it should adhere to them in
waxy persistency; to come out finally
with broken and ragged edges. are
questions so poignant in their annoy
ance that an immediate and satisfac-
tory answer would at that particular
moment be ignored as insufficient
recompense for so great
disappointment. She may read
now, if she has not previously dis
covered, that the failure to make a sue
cessful cake is one among many unsat-
isfactory results of the use of too much
sugar. 1t often happens that where q
recipe requires two cupfuls the gener-
ous-hearted measurer, intent upon max
ing an extra good cake. will heap the
cups, which in most instances causes .
waxy or brittle crust, with the afore-
said disastrous results. The quality of
the sugar has also much to do with the
success of the cake. The coarser grade
of granulated sugar should never be
used for the reason that. in the short
time it requires to stir up cake, it, be-
Ing the hardest of all sugars to dissolve.
will not become thoroughly incorpora-
ted with the butter, aud therefore after
the cake is in the oven there begins .
melting and hardening process Of the
pure sugar, which not only interferes
with proper rising, but gives to it a
coarse. uneven texture. Small white
spots on the crust of q sponge-cake
also indicate the use of too much sugar.

The Work Of the New Bishop Of Minnesota.

Bishop M. n Gilbert will soon assume
the new duties that devolve upon him
through being raised to this important
position in the Protestant Episcopal
church. He was seen by q representative
of the press, and outlined the work
to be done by him in the diocese.
He will, of course, be the assistant to
Bishop Whipple, but very many OF the du-
ties of the diocese will be hereafter perform
ed by him. An outline of the work to be
done includes holding combinations, visit
ing parishes and mission stations, assist
ing the bishop in the general work OF the
diocese, and taking full charge in his absence.
Bishop Whipple is obliged to 60 south every
winter, spending several months in the
Southern states. In addition to that, his
interest in the general work calls him away
from the state good deal, and the care OF
the schools at Faribault, with his work
among the Indians, absorbs very much OF
his time, so that Bishop Gilbert will be
left very largely in charge. The
successor to the latter has not
been appointed yet, but the vestry OF Christ
church now have several rectors under con.
sideration. Bishop Gilbert will end his pas
torate with Christ church Nov. 16, preach
ing his farewell sermon two weeks from to-
morrow. He expects to start on his first
visitation Nov.17. He will 60 to the Red
river country in the northern part of the
diocese to points lying along the Northern
Pacific railroad.

GOING hack TO CHINA.
An Am ssis g scsos on San Rraseisee
wharf.
nv faiaxrn nh IN tina Ufana fah

SAN FRANcKco, December g.-One oft
most interesting and amusing sights OF San
F.aDcisco Is 10 witness the departure OF the
steamers for the Orient, which usually
carry home to China large number OF
tbinsm'n who have made their fortune,
or are going TO visit friends In the iowery
Kingdom. On the steamer Oceanic, which
sailed Wednesday, $50 Cinnamon sailed,
carving with them 100000 in treasure.
Among the Cl'inese were fifty old and de.
crepit men and inyalids, one OF the latter
being ieper In the last stages OF the dis
case. These sick Cinnamon were sent
back 10 their homes by the six
companies and did not get return
certificates. The work OF getting the other
Chinese passengers on board was expe1i-
iiously performed. Thev were all on the
dock carly with their goods, wares, an
chattels, and were formed into a line, the
steamer having previously been thoroughly
searched for stowaways. The intending
emigrant was first confronted by four cu:-
tom. house inspectors, who narrow.i
scanned the certificate he presented, closely
camraIiDg the distinguishing marks upon
his person with those noted In the paper.
The certificate being all right, the China.
man was advanced a step or two, where he
was met by a pOll-tax collector, and IL he
was not the pOssessor OF a new receipt DE
was made 10 pay the regulation AZ before he
could get any further ahead. Paying this
or producing a satisfactory receipt, the
passenger was allowed 10 move on until
he came to the foot OF the gateway.
Here were six Cinnamon. sleek
and well.drcssed all looking sur
charged with authority, and ranged
three on each side OF the gang-pank. Each
was representative OF one OF the six com
panies. These collectors were there to see
that every ChiDaman going on board the
steamer had paid all dues to his company;
TO prove which fact he had to present
paper, receipted and properly stamped,
certifying that he was clear on the books.
Every one OF them had bis receipt Nd
yanced another yard, he was confronted by
two more inspectors, who locked at his
ticket and bis certificate, and with their
punches made holes In the papers that en-
titled the nagced and tired co0lie to pass
over the vessels side to the deck, where,
directed, or, rather, hustled to the after
part Of the ship. he was allowed to select
Lis bunk below and put away his baggage.
There was one Chinaman who escaped
this ordeal. His name was Cue ie Sing, a
rich rancbero from Texas, where he has
resided for seventeen years. He was on his
way to bis old Chinese home with his wife
and four children, and the family had gone
aboard earlier in the day. Mrs. Sing was
comely white woman, richly dressed in
the latest styles. Four handsome children
accompanied their parents-two girls and
two boys. Sing and his wife were married
in San Francisco twelve years ago. He is
takirg bis family to China to reside there
for several years, to have them learn the
Chinese language.

LOST CHILDREN.

There was probably no happier home Ia
America than that OF Mr.. James V. Allan.
OF Philadelphia. There is probably none
more miserable to-day. Four weeks ago
Mr. Allan had bright and attractive child
that was the pet OF the home and the JOY
all his friends. To-day no childish voice is
10 be heard In the household, for Z has been
stilled IN death. Mrs. Allsn noticed that
the child was ailing. that 1t failed TO take
its food properly or with relish, and that
something seemed to be troubling It, but
she thought IL was only OF temporary ma
ture ana would soon pass away. She now
knows that then was the time TO have taken

Children require more careful attention
than ADULTS. They are Ia the formative Pc
Rod. The slightest influence Affects un-

America need not only to be very careful OF
these things. but TO see 10 II that the child

which have been proven purest and best.
