STORY OF A BEAUTIFUL DIAMOND.
It Was Obtained by a Surgeon From q
Brazilian by Sharp Practice.

It Was Obtained by Surgeon From q
Brazilian by Sharp Practice.
A rare diamond, weighing nearly four
carets, now in New York, has remarkable
history. 1t twas found in the gold district of
Brazil by a native, who did not know its
value, but kept it as '1uck" stone. One
day while journeying to camp Of traders
with his gold dust he was bitten by SER
pent Applying the antidote known to the
people of that country, he proceeded on
his way, but had not gone far when
he was again bitten. He treated himself
for the second wound and continued on his
journey. While STOPPING to drink from a
brook the fangs Of a snake were fastened in
the bag which contained the stone. On
reaching the camp he was found to be sue
cumbing rapidly to the effects of the venom,
and when questioned by the camp surgeon
told how the snake had seized the bag at his
throat.
The surgeon was permitted to see the
stone, and, suspecting its real character, he
told the native that it was extremely dan
gerous to have it about him, as it attracted
venomous reptiles, and advised him to sink
it in neighboring brook. The supersti-
tious finder of the diamond acted upon the
suggestion, and the covetous surgeon, hay
ing watched the proceeding, aVailed himself
of the first opportunity to fish the gem from
its hiding place. The diamond was pur.
chased recently from the cutter in Europe
by Edwin A. Thrall, of New York.

DEATH IN THE GLOVES.
The Dyes Used Are Sometimes Poison, al One
Sad Case Proves.

The Dyes Used Are Sometimes Poison, al One
Sad Case Proves.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch.l
Danger lies hidden in everything, even
the dainty little glove of feminine alteration,
which seems so very harmless. Of course,
gloves, if they cover the pretty hand of
some especially pretty women, have always
been more or less dangerous to the heart
peace of gallant cavaliers, but now q
great danger to life itself has been found in
a pair Of black gloves. Not long since the
wife of lieutenant in the army purchased
a pair of long black gloves, which she wore
to ball that evening. When she arrived
home she found her hands stained with
black dye, and one finger, on which there
had been the prick of a needle, was slightly
swollen.
The next day the arm was decidedly
swollen and aphysician was summoned, who
ordered poultices, but saw no particular
danger in it-especially as the lady was in
good spirits. That morning the husband
said goodby to her cheerfully, but the noon
found a telegram summoning him home at
once, and he arrived only in time to have
his wife die in his arms. The poison from
the glove had reached the shoulder and
caused her death.

"Well," said Old Monte, 'T don't say no

figures she's been a-eatin' of loco or some
thing an is clean crazy"
Not Used to Such an Invasion.
If ever one sentiment predominated all
others in the Cinnabar breast it was the de-
termination to protect her citizens from any
outside force. The local vigilance commit
tee, under the resolute leadership of Arm
strong, was liable to convoke at any time,
and, gaining rope from the nearest saddle
and inspiration from the nearest Imisdeed of
the patient, hang valued son or so to the
windmill or some other structure eligible
for the purpose But there never was
Sheriff more puissant, no outside officer of
the law, no alien posse comitatus, who
could ride IN and make captive Cinnabar's s
meanest citizen. Business would suspend
first, men would cease their daily walk and
hundred gallant hearts would belt on their
six-shooters and fight round the liberty of
Cinnabar to the death.
But here came danger in unusual form.
An arrogant, confident woman, with the
nose of a hawk, hard face and bitter eye;
wrinkled, gnarled and threatening look
ing female Of portentous, awful sort, had
invaded Cinnabar and laid claim to lead
ing citizen. To be sure she had not been
there long-a few hours indeed-and her
victim, Big Pete Sims, by craven con-
cealment Of his wretched persona conceal
ment, however, earnestly advised by some
of the most dauntless minds of Cinnabar,
and in no wise to be regarded as impugning
Mr.. Sims's gameness-had SO far escaped,
but even the most buoyant and optimistic

sour. grimness. "Only you needn't be
lookin' for no ovation on account of it,
neither. Your bringin' of her has shorely
busted Pete wide open, you can gamble on
that"
"When she takes the stage in Tucson, Z"
asked Rosewood Jim, 'tdon't she tip her
hand none-don't she outline her little game
to you nor nuthin'? I hears females is
great takers, that way; not alters, of course,
but usual"
"She don't tip nuthin'," said Old Monte
desperately as he took such a swallow of
whisky, that, had it been water, would have
consoled a parched COW. 81 reckon we all

ga card may turn winner 20 times, but II
shorely lose at last" said Rosewood Jim,
and the experienced sentiment of Cinnabar
justified the aphorism.
Pete Hid Himself in a Store.
"Wherever is this yere Big Pete hid up
at?' inquired Bill Tut, who with the rest
felt the tenderest interest in that unfortu-
nate.
"Heshl'' said Armstrong in a fierce
whisper. "Don't go for to yellin' like a
Ute. This yere frightful woman is over in
the o. K. Hotel now, an thar's no tellin'
how far them years of hers can reach.
"Well, wherever is Pete?" said Tut in q
lower tone.
"He's over layin' mighty low in the back
room of the New York store" said Jack
Moore. "He's all right for while. Pendin'
which we'all must plan a whole lot toward
savin' of him."
cts mighty baflin', though" said Arm
strong in gloomy perplexity. SIT looks like
she's shorely got Pete cinched."
'tLet's 60 injunin' over all on the dead
quiet" said Texas Thomson, "an' hold a
pow-wow and a heap big think with Pete.
Maybe we-all sees some trail out"
can s'pose while we do, Armstrong, "
said Rosewood Jim, "you lope over to the
o. X. Hotel an see how close you can come
to prevailin' on this yere person by lies an
arguments to abandon her fendish plots
again pore Pete"
"Of course 1 goes" said Armstrong, with
the air of calmly desperate man. 'I'm the
last man to lay down on any public dooty as
gets sawed onto me all reg'lar But warns
you agin havin' any hopes tharof, cause it
won't win."
An Interview With the Fugitive.
There was that in the air of Cinnabar
which inspired spirit of high resolve in
her people. There was nothing which
could come to one of them, in the form of
public claim, which would not be fully met
though life were the certain forfeit. So
Armstrong, despairing but determined, at
once moved on the o. X. Hotel, which had
been assumed as headquarters by the enemy.
Nor Horatius nor Curtius could have done
more.
Inc rest made wide circuit in the most
surreptitious fashion, and at last found the
unfortunate Mr.. Sims in his retirement. He
was securing himself against fate by drink
ing whisky and eating crackers and cheese,
which simple and direct regalement he
took with such sad, pathetic air that the
sight moved Texas Thomson, who was of
mercurial and sympathetic sort, almost to
tears. -.-.

What the Court Confectioner Made for q
- Royal Wedding in Bavaria.
The "Confectioner to His Majesty, the
King of Bavaria" designed very unique
and artistic ''piece de resistance" for the
wedding banquet of Prince Alfons of Bavaria
and the Princess Louise of Alencon. 1t was
a casket in which the dessert was served. 1t
was made of gingerbread dough of light
yellow tint and painted like porcelain.
In front it was decorated with the family
arms of the houses of Alencon and Wittels-
bach, the sides bearing the monograms of
the initials of the newly welded puir. Two
myrtle wreaths twined about the lid and
pretty little cupids carrying shields and
emblems of love filled in the corners. A
crown resting on blue velvet cushion
topped off the whole.

BRINGING OUT FADED INK.
A Bit Of Information Important to Owners
of Old Documents.

OF OId DOCumentS.
People having valuable documents locked
away in safes and secretaries are often out
of temper and out of pocket at discovering
that the writing thereon has faded almost
completely when their use becomes import
ant. 1t is very easy in most cases to restore
the color to the ink by purchasing little
solution of ammonium sulphide and bathing
the paper therein, or tracing over the let
ters with camel's hair brush dipped in the
fluid.
If this remedy fails, gallic or tannic acid
will generally bring out, the words, no mat
ter if they be completely illegible at first.
After applying either solution the docu-
ment should be carefully rinsed and dried.

A NEW LAMP FOR FIREMEN.
1t Is an Electric Affair and Is Said to Be
Very Convenient.


New York SUM-
A peculiar kind of electric hand lamp
for fremen is recent English invention.
The battery and lamp are contained in
copper case similar to a 6rernan's ordinary
lamp, and fitted with handle for conven-
fence in carrying. Very powerful parabolio
refectors are provided, and the lamp, which
has duration of from two to three hours
after which it can easily be recharged-is
said to form an important adjunct to the
fire brigade.
The lamp is also suitable for use In mines,
gas works, gunpowder and chemical facto-
ries. The advantages claimed for the de-
vice are portability, facility in charging,
capability of resting the battery when the
light is not required, and entire safety.

followed one of the meanest and the most
sinister conspiracies to ruin a man socially
that has ever disgraced the name of any
honorable organization in the country.
When the civil and moral law had vindi-
Gated the action of Reilly his dastardly
enemies took advantage of their Columbus
minions, and lodge of the honored Order
Of Ell1s, and expelled Reilly from the order
because he had not "worked for the welfare
Of a brother" Did you ever know of such a
wicked piece of work? Surely in the name
of everything that is right and Just the
Elks generally will not allow precedent of
this kind to stain their heretofore unfair
nished annals. The precedent will certainly
open the way to very wide field. But it is
quite clear that the action of the Columbus
Elks has not been prompted by any admira-
ton of principle; IL has been prompted by a
low and depraved desire to be revenged on
a man who entirely acted within his own
moral and civil right But, ask, when
Born and Lazarus resolved to break away
from the national agreement and take the
players with them, were they working for
the benefit of the players, Elks or otherwise?
Certainly not. They were working for their
own selfish ends, irrespective of
fair dealing, honor or anything else that
would benefit the playars. The case of
Reilly's is one that concerns every ball
player who is melnber of the Order of
Elks; and they ought to consider the matter
in the most careful manner. As long as the
Columbus expulsion remains unchallenged
the public cannot have very high opinion
of the Elks. The truth is that if the same
principle that has been enforced against
Reilly was freely applied wherever there is
reason for it the Order of Elks would soon
vanish from existence. But there must be a
court of less prejudice and bigotry and of
greater authority than the Columbus faction
to which Reilly and his counsel can appeal
There must be court where at least men,
bers can have justice meted out to them. If
there is not such tribunal then baseball
players ought at once to seriously consider
whether they are among friends or foes.
