Estimating a Diamonds Value.

FROM the chicago Herald.
A young but rising attorney was improving
the noon hour in court yesterday by exhibiting
to his associates 4 new diamond stud he had
purchased. One skeptical friend examined it
and asked il it was real bystander re-
marked that this reminded him of story poor
Billy Manning, the minstrel used to tell. One
day the lamented burnt cork artist heard sim
liar question asked, and, in his inimitable
drawing way, he said: Look here, my friend,
when was manager and owner OF the minstrel
company down at the old Dearborn theatre L
used to wear big stone on my shirt front in
the first part / bought it in Cincinnati for
everyone expected fabulous sum--''for Just
81. Next to me set Frank Bowles, our cornet
player, who had on a stone that saw him pay
81, 200 for in cold cash. In those days A. II.
Miller was the leading jeweler here. He had
seen both stones from the 'front.' One day he
came to me and said he would give me the
finest cluster ring he had in his store and big
sum to boot for my stone. asked him what
he thought Of Bowles' stone and he said il was
no good. Now, you see. Miller and everyone
else thought my stone was genuine because I
owned the show, and that Bowles' stone was
bogus because he was under salary. That the
way people look at things the world over. "
And poor Manning was about right

Habbakuk Wanted to be Sanctifed.

From the Boston Transcript.
Another story that goes back to the same
meetin house in Wrentham is one of a worthy
man named Habbakuk P, resident of the
town and a faithful attendant upon worship,
who had been blessed with four wives one
after another. Habbakuk was rigidly ortho-
dox, as his name seemed to demand, and was
always in his pew on the Sabbath. He sat there
in his conspicuous pew, with No. by his side,
on the first Sunday morning after their mar
riage. 1t was balmy June day. and the
Zephyrs from the open window toyed play
fully with the brides white satin bonnet rib
bons and the groom's slken locks. There was
stranger in the pulpit. who had exchanged
for the day with the venerable Mr.. F, the
pastor of the church. After reading few
Scripture passages the stranger proceeded to
read notice which he had found in the Bible
and which was as follows:
''Mr. Habbakuk P, desires the PRAYERS of
the congregation, that the death of his wife
may be sanctified TO him for his spiritual
good"
Then while the congregation was between
stupefaction and explosion, the clergyman went
on with the services at rapid rate. He was
at a loss to know why the congregation seemed
to be throughout the remainder of the services
on the point of laughter, but at dinner Mrs.
F., the pastors wife, explained to him that
Habbakuk P sat three rows from the front
in the broad aisle with his brand-new wife, and
he had read an old notice that Mr.. F. had
probably been using for book-mark ever
since the death of wife No. 8.

The Eiffel Tower.

FEAR OF ITS NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. TAKEN
AGAINST SUCH A DISASTER.
From the London Globe
Confidence is restored to Paris. 1t is not
considered pleasant in the neighborhood of the
Champ de Mars to spend forty-eight hours in
doubt whether one is to be buried under the
debris of tower nearly 800 feet high. How
ever, the Eiffel tower can say Il Stood" and
the experts say. on the faith of their theodo-
htes, that 1t is going to stand, unless something
goes wrong hereafter. But while congratula-
tions must be offered to the people who live
about the Champ de Mars, sympathy must be
extended to the crowds who carae together
from less menaced quarters-some of them
with plumb lines, just they would have
brought smoked glass to observe an eclipse
10 see what the monster was going to do. That
il did nothing, after all this anticipation, was
unfair, and it is probable that its further rise
IN height will be accompanied by some dimi-
mutton Of popularity. The Parisians forgot that
special Providence watches over ugly and use
less things. and that this is better security than
even the theodOlite of science. We're ii other
wise, We doubt if the explanations of the con-
s.ructor of the abominat,on would carry much
comfort 70 those who have to think, not of their
neighbor's peril, which, Of course, is nothing.
but of their very own.
We are told that when the Eiffel tower does

the complicated machinery will never fall out
OF gear. If soaring mbition should overbuild
itself and fall on the other side, the question
will have to be faced as TO which side that
other is to be; and then even trust in Provi-
dence may prove as misleading as in cases of
people who live under avalanches and vol

The Chicago Double Tragedy.

JEALOUSY THE CAUSE OF WALTER S. Bradley
CRINE-A SCENE AT THE UNDERTAKES.
Jealousy and general cussedness seems
to have been the cause of the double
tragedy in Chicago yesterday. Walter s.
Bradley, who killed his wife and himself at
the Hotel CORTLAND, was reporter on
the Chicago Globe, and his wife was also con-
nected with the paper. Bradley and his wife
quarreled several days ago and he left the ho-
tel. Yesterday he returned and his wife met
him in the parlor. short time afterward two
shots were heard. The clerk rushed to the
room and saw Mrs. Bradley lying on the floor
and her husband standing over her. As the
clerk entered Bradley ordered him out. threat
ening him with the pistol. Before assistance
was obtained two more shots we're fired. and
when the officers reached the parlor Bradley
and his wife were dead.
After the bodies were taken to an under
takers. young Frederick Mann, of the firm of
NJ " Mann Co., linen importers, visited the
with grief. He threw himself on the dead
woman's body. kissing her hands and face. II
was some minutes before he could be dragged
away. Then he cursed the body of Bradley,
and would have thrown ii on the floor if he
had not been prevented. Mann said he had
known Mrs. Bradley since childhood. and had
been very fond of her. He had warned
her to leave Bradley and she had prom
ised to do so. Bradley. il seems, was of
respectable family, but bad gone to the bad.
He was at one time employed by the Pullman
company. but was convicted of embezzlement
and condemned to a years imprisonment in
the penitentiary, from which he was released
four or five months ago.
1t appears that while Bradley was in prison
Mann was in the habit OF escorting Mrs. Brad
lev to and from her night assignments. The
consequence was that Bradley was insanely
jealous. This. together with Bradleys dissi.
pated habits. led to frequent quarrels and cul.
minated in the tragedy; Mrs. Bradley was ai
one time connected with the stage.

Would Be Extortion Rebuked.
From the Buffalo Courier.

From the Buffalo Courier.
The peculiar position in which officers of the
engineer corps of the army may sometimes be
placed is well illustrated by citing an inciden,
told by Buffalo resident which occurred while
a lieutenant colonel of engineers was stationed
at western city. He was engaged upon some
harbor improvements at lake port some dis
lance from his station and needed lime He
went to several dealers at the small port and
was offered lime at a price double its worth.
Upon his saying that they were asking too
much they replied: '.Ah, but the government
can afford to pay high prices. The money
Immediately sent to his station for lime and
got it at its market price. The dealers who had
tried to make bargain with him were rendered
very angry by this, but they were still more SO
when, upon his offering to them at cost price
the lime left over and they refused to buy, he
sold it by the barrel at cost price to their own
customers.

Aristocratic Thievery.


TIE DrsAGRERABLE FATE THAT oyERrAKEs THE
WEDDINGS OF MARQUIsRs.
From the Kansas City star
Some time ago a very unpleasant incident
occurred at the marriage Of a marquis, says
Paris correspondent After the ceremony the
guests repaired TO the house to inspect the
presents, and soon it was discovered that a very
costly ornament had disappeared. Search was
made high and low. There was a 'smarch
past" of the visitors under scrutinizing ewes.
but all IN vain The missing article never was
discovered. and to this day its fate remains a
mystery. There really appears to be some
fatality In weddings with which marquises are
connected. Another marquis married his son
yesterday to young lady belonging to fam
ny well known in Partisan society, and after
the ceremony the party repaired to a restau-
rant near the Bots de Boulogne, where a choice
luncheon was served speedily. When the

turning to his wife, he informed heG of his
dilemma The lady, looking rather pleased
than otherwise, remarked that, bearing in
mind his careless habits, she had that very
morning taken the precaution of filing her
purse with bank notes. Here they are,h she

few snstches of the conversation. and guessed
the rest. now interviewed. Luckily he had
the wherewithal; but he, too, searched to no
purpose. At last, all the guests got wind of
the affair, and all instinctively felt for their
purses. To their dismay, nine Of them found
that their pockets were completely empty.
During the crush in the vestry, pickpocket
had been at work, reaping rich harvest. and

narquis' guests.

No Discount on the Sealskin Sacaue


From the Baltimore News
''Will sealskin sacques ever lose their popu-
larity with the fair sex?" This question was
asked of a lady furrier recently, and her an
swer was very emphatic. ''As an article of
dress, sealskin will always be in demand The
genuine article is very expensive and for that
reason it finds favor with the rich. The fact
of its being very pretty and dressy will also
tend to keep it in the fairgrounds of fashion,
A genuine sealskin wrap will cost from 800 to
$780, according to its finish and the quality of
the fur. Comparatively few people are will
ing to pay this for a coat, and consequently, a
great number of inferior and cheap goods of
this kind are Sold
Though the sealskin itself is not subject to
the change of fashions" continued the lady,
the style and cut of the garment are. The
sealskin wrap, with long, heavy boa of light
or black fur. liz now more used than the long
sealskin sacque or coat. As matter of dress
this style is the prettier, and it has the great
advantage of being cheaper
