A DIAMOND STORY
Which Seems to Account for the Jewels Sc
questered by Il. A. Miller Twelve Years Ago.

New YORK, March ga Montreal special
says: A very strange diamond story came to
light yesterday. About eight years ago j. Cas-
sis, of the firm of Shaw Brothers 81 Cassils,
wholesale leather merchants, bought large
oldfashioned safe from secondhand dealer
One of the small drawers IN the safe was locked,
but as the dealer said it was locked wnen he GOT
it. some two years before and as the person
who sold it to him said it was empty and he had
lost the key, he gave it no more attention and
the safe sold as it stood. This week Cassils
bought safe. and out of curiosity
the locked drawer was forced open, and, care
fully wrapped in jewel wadding, w as found
tray containing diamond necklace. bracelets
and large number of unset stones. Mr.. Cassils
did not care to be interviewed on the subject
Tracing the old safe was not an easy matter, but
the following the solution of the story:
Twelve years ago Fl. A. Meller did large busi-
ness in diamonds and tewelry on Notre Dame
street, Montreal, but he suddenly disappeared
and on his store being seized it was found that
almost everything OF value had disappeared also.
Subsequently DEVELOPMENTS showed that but
very few iewelry houses in Canada had escaped,
while several English diamond dealers were
caught Nellie Bastien WAS at that time
= notorious ~oman here. and with her
Meller made his escape TO the United States and
settled in St. Louis. where he finally dropped
ont of sight Shortly after Melers disappear
ance Mrs. Meller and her sister were their
vssv.to tha IInited States. Tneira trunks were
subjected to thorough search, and it was
found that the sides and bottom were lined with
thin sheets of gold. over which had been pasted
the paper lining of the trunks. All the jewelry
in heNstore had been unset. the metal melted
into sheets, and the gems stored away. A great
many diamonds were found in small plum
pudding the ladies were carrying by way of
lunch, and several were found concealed in
their dresses Notwithstanding these proofs.
Mrs. Melier and her sister we're not found guilty
at the trial. There was good deal of specua-
tion as to what became of one magnificent dia-
mond. Many of the jewels were afterward
has at last turned up in the old safe. IF any of
the creditors of the absconding jeweler inquire
into the find made by Mr.. Cassls, and if their
Jewels can be traced or identified, there may be
quite interesting legal squabbls as to who is
entitled to their possession.

WASHINGTON. March 29.-The statements.
yesterday, of Hon. William Dudley Foulke. of
Richmond, before Senator Hale's committee
on civil-service reform, have been to-day the
text for much comment on Indiana Democrats
ways, and they are universally condemned. To-

WHY HE LEFT THE CHURCH.
A Baptist Minister Who Believes in the Ex-
act Letter of the Testament.

BosToN March pa short time ago Rev. H.
F. Titus, pastor of the Baptist Church at New
ton. rendered his resignation and stated that he
was fitting himself to become medical mission
ary. and that. as his studies interfered with his
church duties. he felt compelled to sever his
connection with the church. He was engaged,
however, to fill the pulpit until July L. and has
preached every Sunday. His sermons, since
his resignation, tell why he commenced the
study of medicine. the real reason for which, he
AYERS, is the outcome of despair of ever finding
any denomin alton that would be willing to un-
dertake the New Testament ideas. On Sunday
last he announced that he should not preach at
the church again. aud that he had Withdrawn
from all denominations, and hoped to form q
church that would be willing to do the things OF
which he has preached in his recent sermons
Mr.. Titus believes that the church should un
dertake to live Jesus lived; that there should
be no rich or poor among them; that they should
give generously one to the other; that they
should take care of each other better than Free
Masons or any similar society; that there should
be social distinctions among them; that none
should despise manual labor; that they should
confess their faults one to another and try to
remove them; that they should forgive in juries
knowing personal insult or affront; iI word
that they should live for others, rather than
self. MIR. Titus says that he should preach
whenever and wherever opportunity offers, but
that he thought il best to sever his connection
with the church.

Another name for Good Friday"-the

of Christ's crucifxion. The observation con-

and visible being the draping of the altar in
black, and the most striking, perhaps. the Of
fee of '.Tenebra0 at the conclusion of which
the lights in the church are extinguished, ex-
cept one. which, as a symbol of death, is
hidden under the altar.
But to the children, which we have always
with us, the most striking event in these days
is the preparation of the coiored eggs, or spec
ulatlon the chances OF getting colored eggs.
In the next three days many suit of
clothes will be ruined with dye-stuffs or with
the contents of eggs that are too aged to lend
themselves to the pleasures Of the time.
Speaking of clothes, we remark that for

have the finest spring display that has ever
credited this market. We viii demonstrate
