How He Found Out That There Was

Here is Q case Of observation-disclosures

embarrassment, although, as he after

might have Jared worse than he did.

shoes, and then said hurriedly to the
maid;
"Oh, you needn't announce me yet,
and don't say any thing about this;
that's good girl"
He hurried out again and rushed for a
cab.
Drive as rapidly as you can" he said,
breathlessly.

DUTCH DIAMONDS.
The Influence Upon the Industry OF r.
tluction In Prices,

Tho Influence Upon the Industry OF n Re
duction In Prices.
Last year was very serious one for
the Dutch diamond industry, says the
London Times, which was nearly par
alyzed by the action of the De Beers
Company, of Kimberley, in reducing the
production of the raw diamond from
four million to two million carats per
annum in order to keep up prices. The
price Of raw diamonds rose more than
one hundred per cent. at the mines, and
it proved impossible to obtain proper
tionate advance for the cut article.
This state OF things, says the British
Consul at Amsterdam in his last report,
coming on top of too great an imitation
in the cutting industry in Amsterdam,
created the greatest distress among the
diamond workers, who. as q class, have
the reputation of being very thriftless.
For several months at the close of the
year orders for cut diamonds were alto
gether wanting, and not only were a
great number of families reduced to alb
solute destitution, but most of the new
cutting mills, which have been erected
Of late, were closed and will probably
have to be devoted to other purposes.
since the close of the year the position
Of the diamond works rather improved.
The price of cut diamonds has risen so
far as to give some margin for the cost
of cutting, etc, but the demand is by
no means sufficient to keep the mills
and diamond workers of the city en-
ployed. A good deal of cutting is now
done there for London account direct.

AFTER THE DUEL.
An Encounter at Nice That brought MaLy
Fatalities In Its Train.


The suicide Of Major Normann, of the
German army, which occurred recently,
was said to be due to an unpleasant
scandal involving his morals. But was
that the real reason for the self-murder?
This suicide is the end Of long train
Of suicides and sudden deaths, all OF
which seemingly had tkeir origin in
duel which took place in Nice in Janu-
ary in 1883, and in which the two princi-
pals were Baron Won Plessen and we'll
known Belgian sportsman.
One morning while exercising his
horse on the Hippodrome of the Var at
Nice the Belgian saw one Of his friends
Herr Oelschlager, Berlin sportsman,
walking along with distracted air. lio
accordingly galloped up behind him,
whisked off the Germans hat by way of
pleasantly and cried: "Well, German,
why don't you say good morning%'
What Herr Oelschlager thought Of
this pleasantly will never be known, but
Baron Won Plessen, who was walking
with Oelschlager, supposed 1t was meant
for an insult, and gave the Belgian tro-
mendous blow in the face.
Seconds were appointed and duel
was at once arranged. The Belgian in
sisted that the duel should be as severe
as possible.
1t was finally decided that the en-
counter should be with pistols and that
the duel should be fought in Herr
Oelschlager's dining-room. In order
that the seconds might not be arrested
or suspected each Of the adversaries
wrote letter to his second saying that
he was about to kill himself, and this
was to be used in case one or the other
fell.
The duel came of and Baron Won Pies
sen was killed by ball in the forehead
at the very first fire. His adversary was
unhurt. All the participants kept 81
lence about the affair.
But in 1889 the fatality which has
pursued every one connected with this
singular duel began to work.
First one of the seconds. o Lieutenant
Of Uhlans named Steinmetz, killed him
self, vastly to the surprise Of his friends,
who supposed him perfectly happy.
This suicide took place early in 1889.
Early in this year two other seconds,
Herr Oelschlager and the Vicomte dc
Jumeilhe died suddenly. Last Novem-
ber the Belgian who killed Won Plessen
In the duel announced that he was tired
of life, and killed himself with bullet
in the breast.
And now tho suicide Of Major Nor.
mann, the fourth and last of the sec
onds, closes the dread tragedy, which
was begun in anger and for trivia

MOUNT PLEASANT, Pa, April 1.-THE
Eighteenth regiment Of the National Guard
of Pennsylvania will return to their homes

that general attempt to start all Of the
works in this vicinity would be made on
Monday.
Wholesale Evictions win Occur.
II the attempt TO start the works proves
a failure, it is very likely that wholesale
evictions viii take place and all the occu-
pants of the company houses will be turn
ed out. II is expected that the present oc-
cupants Of the houses will offer resistance,
but the presence Of the militia, Il is hoped,
will prevent any outbreaks. The sixty
seven delegates to the strikers special con-
vention reported that the disposition Of
the men whom they represented was to
hold out until Christmas il necessary to
gain their end
The convention was not altogether har-
monious, some of the delegates denounc-

ing the management a failure and fought

idea was to continue the fight until the

mences on May /, and was confident OF
success II the men held out four weeks
longer. He admitted that many Of the de-
mands in the scale were wrong and ought
to be dropped. Twenty delegates said they
must have help Immediately in order to
keep the men out Finally a resolution
was passed stating that the men, through
their representatives, were willing 70 60
