Scarlet Hunting Coats.

The origin of the use Of the scarlet
hunting coat in the hunting fed has
never been satisfactorily explained,
and various theories have been pro-
mulgated to account for the adoption
of that color. According to some,
scarlet was worn in the hunting field
because il could.be~ seen at . distance.
Another explanation is that an Eng
lish military officer, staying at coun-
try house, lost his baggage, and ap-
peared in the hunting field in his regi-
mentals. Many authorities maintain
that it was adopted after the House of
Hanover introduced scarlet as the royal
livery .-TNew York Press.

Pure Diamonds Are Rare.

About nine-tenths of the diamonds
offered for sale are off color; that is,
they have color in them. Ten per cent.
only are absolutely white. The differ
ence in the color makes the difference
in the price of the stones. For instance,
canary -colored diamond is more val
liable than the white stones. Diamonds
Of this kind are called fancy stones.
When set together they make beauti-
full contrast. There is no special
fashion in diamonds. Much depends
on individual taste. Necklaces are
now worn a good deal and good
many pieces are made up with small
diamonds combined with coIored
stones. Sapphires, opals, rubies and
emeralds find ready andan extensive
market. A fine ruby, weighing from
two 10 three carats, is worth more than
diamond. Fine cmeralds are always
as high-prieed as the diamond.-IChi-

When an American nag WAS pre-
sented to Henry NJ Stanley, at the re-
ception given to him by the Americans
in London a short time ago, the great
African explorer said that he had all
ways considered himself an American
aud citizen of the United States, but
the circumstances under which he be-
came citizen are known to only a
few. Stanley was naturalized in the
Superior Court of this city on May
IS, 1885. A few days ago Thomas
Roese, the clerk of that court told a
Tribune reporter the circumstances
connected with the incident. 'On the
date mentioned," said Mr.. Roese,
.Sthe late A. S. Sullivan came into my
office and introduced me to Mr..
Stanley, who wished to become citi-
zen of the United States.
"I did not know that ny ;. ygisisa,:. ygisas..
was the great African explorer until
he had been in my Office some time.
/ Stanley told me that he had always
considered himself a citizen of the
United States, as he had served in the
Union Army and had been honorably
discharged. While travelling in Eu-
rope, however, he had met an Ameri-
can gentleman who had informed him
that he must go through the forms as
provided by statute before he became
citizen, and the fact that he was an
honorably discharged soldier did not
make him a citizen of the United
States.
"Sianley was about to depart for
Africa at that time and told me that
he had come from London to New
York especially to be naturalized,
and that only few persons knew that
he was in this country. He swore
and produced witnesses who swore
that he had. .al.way.s- considered him
self citizen of the United States,
so he received his certificate and de.
parted"
Among the 100000 or 10000 au
tographs which Mr.. Boese has, at

custody, Stanley's is the one which i
probably priced the highest.-TNev

A DULL MARKET.

Day-The Reasons Assigned for the

Iod

Silver Question Settled.
NEW YORK, juno 1.-THE stock market to-
day was for the greater portion of the time in
tensely dull. and throughout it presented a re-
dictionary tone, with the result of leaving prices
all over the list materially lower than they were
last evening. The causes of the decline are to
be found in number of directions, but the
chief are the hammering of the trading
element in dullness, which is the
result of the disinclination of the bull leaders
to further advance prices pending the rinal
settlement of the silver legislation. London
has been, and was this morning, a seller of
stocks. That the falling off of business and
prices in the market has no relation to railroad
earnings, and, therefore, to be actual value of
properties is shown by returns in to-day for the
first week in June. The opening of the market
was influenced primarily by the declines In
