There are diamonds and diamonds.
To the average reader it stands IS
above; white diamonds and those that
are off color. But to the miner, sOrter.
dealer cutter and cOnnoisseur there are
diamonds and diamonds. and again dia-
monds and diamonds almost infnitum.
Beginning with the various cOlOrs wit,t
which these mOrsels of carbon are tint
ed, there are to be found on sale at tho
shops of dealers in these goods the fol-
lowing varieties: White. yellow, brown,
blue, black, green and pink. The first
mentioned, white, are the most plenti-
full, and at the same time next to the
highest priced sort. and are the kind re-
ferred to, as a rule, when diamonds are
spoken of. The prices are graded. all
else being equal, in the following man
ner, the first being the cheapest: yell
low. brown, pink and blue, white. black
and green.
The yellow diamond is to be had in
many shades, from the faintest tinge
from steel white to beautifully brill
liant canary color. There are also two
shades of yellow, which might be de-
nominated side shades or colOrs; the
greenish yellow and the brOwnish yell

other only by comparison, and the differ
ence is to be seen only by placing them
side BY side" The brown diamond is
next in the list, and is to be found in
varying shades from mere haziness to
a walnut wood color. The blue diamond
is blue, and not, as some might mag
inc, simply blue white. 1t also runs q
scale of shades, although not dipping SO
deep as some. The pink-tinted diamond
is very beautiful stone. and is to be
had in shades from the palest to rose
pink. The green diamond is an aqua
green, and also is multiple in shades.
The black diamond is left to the last
for description Of color, because it has
popularity not obtained by any of the
others. The range Of shades exhibited
by these stones is not so extensive as in
the previously mentioned. The black
diamonds are all Opaque. the blacker
the stone the greater the opacity, and
this is an odaity which no other diamond
possesses
The rarity of the several varieties Of
diamonds is about as follows, the most
plentiful coming first: Yellow. white.
brown, blue, black. green and pink. Tho
yellow diamond is to be had Of much
larger size than any kind excepting tho
white. 1t is softer than any but the
brown. with which it stands on level

iZed by the example of the Seven Wise
Women. May be you don't know who
the Seven Wise Women are. Well, be
patient and Twill tell you. But, first,
let US see what the Wimodaughsis is.
The origin of the word is profound
secret in the keeping of the seven-a
secret which nobody else, and especial
ly no man. is ever to know. Therefore
am enabled to impart to you the infor-
nation that it is a composite name
formed by combining parts of the four
beautiful words wife," mother"
daughter" and SISTER" and you will
see at once that it is an evidence of
their wisdom that the seven have de-
cided to keep this fact forever a secret
For many years Miss Susan B. An
thony has cherished dream of a CEN
trail organizations sort of National
club-in which all the associations of
women might meet on common ground
and labor for those general interests
which are related to the especial works
of all. And as Miss Anthony has way
Of making her dreams come true, the
WimOdaughsis has become tangible
reality-an organized and incorporated
stock company, competent to sue and be
sued this is mere legal phraseology in
nowise intended to allude to the fact
that the incorporates are all maidenS),
and having capital stock to the amount
of SIS, 900, divided into 5000 shares of
SIS each. No share of this stock is ever
to be sold to man, so of course no man
can ever become a director or an officer
of the company. The general purpose
of the Wimodaughsis is to provide for
the education of women in political
economy, in art, literature, science and
such other fields as they must needs be
familiar with in order to obtain and
maintain acknowledged control of af-
fairs: for it is now no longer doubted by
the disciples of Miss Anthony that in
the twentieth century the relative posi-
tions of man and woman, SO far as gov
eminent is concerned, will be reversed;
and when they offer the argument of
the long stride taken in this direction
within the last quarter century, it re-
quires a hardy man-perhaps a fool
hardy One-to tell these disciples that
they err in this prophecy.
The first specific purpose of the
Wimodaughsis is to erect in Washing
ton splendid building with large
auditorium in which all the National
conventions of associations of women
may be held, grand music hall, an art
chamber, library and reading room, a
restaurant and reception room, a gym
nasium, a natatorium, a bowling al
ley and billiard parlor, all thoroughly
equipped and provided with instructors,
ladies, of course. Can they do all this
with twenty-five thousand dollars? Why
not? Men can and do build magnificent
club houses with as little cash capital as
this; and they keep women out of them,
too. by the way, just as the women now
purpose to keep men out of this one.
In parts of the building not otherwise
occupied Offices will be fitted up. but
no man will be permitted to hire one of
them. 1t is believed that there are
feminine lawyers, doctors. claim agents.

all the room to be devoted to offices. But

through his fingers while the millions
were being recorded in his treasure

fond Of home life, John ID. Rockefeller
is seldom seen on the clubhouse steps
at Fleetwood Park. N. ". or in public
gatherings, and no one who meets that
unassuming and impertubable gentle
man behind his favorite pair of blacks,
Midnight and Flash, beth of which have
a record better than 800, would imagine
for q moment that his resources gave
him more power than that enjoyed by
many European monarch. and that he
owes it all to his own energies. With

hills, a perception that reads the good
and bad qualities of his associates at
. glance. with a foresight that con-

SAN Francisco. Cal. August rs.
The first detailed story Cithc loss orthc

OF the wrecked vessel, who arrived i'm

down, and about nine O'Clock ut night,
when we thought we were well out from
land, the shock came.
The water was flowing into the shin
at Il furious rate and the order was given
to get out the boats. The scene that
followed that order was simply terrible.

deck by the crew. Some ran up into tho

They attempted to take possession of
the boats which by this time were man

1t was necessary TO push out from
the side Of the ship. TO attempt to hold
them IN check was impossible. They
were like demons. Many of them leap
ed into the water and were drowned.
None OF the white men were lost.
Twenty minutes after we struck
there was nothing to be seen on the ship.
She landed fairly on top of the rock and
was broken i'll two. As the ship was

but only four of them got into the boats.

of the doomed creatures. We could rive
them no help. A number ofthcm were
caught like rats i'll 4 cage and went to
the bottom on the Oneida. Thirty min-

heard except the oars in the row locks.

SANDERSNILLE, GA, Aug. 27.--The
Progress has learned of Il serious state
Of affairs in certain sections of this
county. Our informant gave us the
information one day last week, and his
authority is an old colOrcu woman. He
says that for several days past the ne.
gToes between Sandersyiile and the
Hancock County line have been acting
In suspicious manner. They have
been congrcgating ut different places
every night for some time past, and
their meetings have been conducted
with the utmost secrecy.
Drum beating can be heard, and pas
SerS-by have overheard the loud voices
OF the leaders addressing the assem-
DlageS. The white people living in the
sections where these meetings are held
nave become alarmed, fearing that the
negroes will at any moment take the
warpath against them. 1t is said that
a great many Winchester rifles have
been purchased by the negroes, and
their actions have every appearance of
1orehodlng no good to the whites
Our informant states that an old ne
gro WON disclosed the intentions of
the negroes and explained the object of
the meetings. She said the negroes go
through regular military drills every
night, and the drum is beat for them tC
keep time. The negroes seem to have
some i'll feeling toward the whites, anC
appear inclined to resort to iircarm.
