One Days Experience I'm the Life of q
South Bend Carpenter.
The late Daniel Custer will be remem-
bered by older residents of South Bend
as a first class carpenter and good
Democrat. He lived on the northeast
corner of Main and South streets, and
some of his children yet live in this
county. No carpenter in South Bend got
better wages than he commanded. May
s, 1868 (Which please remember was in
those good old Democratic free trade
times before the wary, Mr.. Custer did
days carpenter work for the late Hon.
John Brownfeld and was credited on
the books of the Brownfield store $3.50.

The Plague Thought to Have Run Its
 Course-BusIness Activity.
 HAMBURG, Sep. 16.-Autumnal weather has set in and the heat of the last two days is relieved by light winds and 8 falling thermometer.
 There have been 69S fresh cases to day, or go more than yesterday; 206 deaths, or three more than yesterday; 331 burials, or IS more than yesterday. In the chol- era hospitals and barracks the number of patients has fallen to l, 1909, the lowest number of the last 16 days.
 Two-thirds of the patients are women and children. The men now stricken, the physicians say, are those who have had little constitution to resist the dis ease Many of them have been hard drinkers and others have been weakened by privations so as to become easily in fected. Among people of normal health and habits the plague is believed to be at an end.
 HAvRE, Sep. 16.-There is but little change in the cholera situation, except a decline in the number of deaths. Thir- teen new cases were reported here yester- day, against eleven new cases and seveE deaths on Tuesday.
 PARIS, Sep. 16.-Eight deaths from cholera were reported in this city yester- day, up to eight o'clock at night. No new cases were reported.
 ROTTERDAM, Sep. 16.-A case of cholera was reported yesterday in this city.
 Evidences of the revival of confidence are apparent on all sides. The infantry regiments which left Hamburg, Luebeck and Altona to take part in the Mecklen- burg manoeuvres have returned to their barracks, although a week ago it was thought that their absence might be pro- longed until October. The Stadt and Thalia Theatres have been reopened, and most of the beer garden variety shows have resumed business.
 The fugitives continue to return, and scores of shops, which had been'closed, have begun advertising for trade.

A LAPIDARY'S STOP.

dow the Cutting and Polishing of Pre-.
 cious stones Is Accomplished.
 The actual work of cutting, drilling, and polishing gems has ever been sur rounded by an air of mystery which the curious have only in very rare instances been able to penetrate. Strange as it may seem, the hardest gems, and even the diamond, are cut with a rapidly-re- volving disc of tin, that has no teeth, and is perfectly smooth on it's edge.
 There are a number of these discs, says the Philadelphia Press, varying in size from the head of small pin up to twenty inches or more in diameter. The discs are placed on the uandril of an ordinary foot lathe, and the surface of the disc is kept running in a bath of turpentire and oil in which is placed & quantity of emery or diamond dust, according to the character of the stone to be cut. By this process it has been found that the hardest stones are the easiest cut. The little disc of tin slips through a piece of crccidolite quite as rapidly as a buzz saw would through a piece of soft pine.
 Much of the work that formerly was accomplished by the slow process of grinding after chipping off as much as could be done with safety and at enor- nous expense, is now done so easily that it is scarcely counted in the cost. After the gems are cut on the tin wheel to near their required shape they are taken over to the polishing wheels, where another surprise awaits the vis- itor.
 The polishing wheels are all made of lead and turned slowly by hand. The gems, however, never touch the real surface of the lead. They are smeared with mixture of water and tripoi or diamond dust. The drilling is still per formed with the old-fashioned bow and cord of the ancients, which for many reasons has been found superior to the finest lathe drill. The gems be- fore they can be polished arc carefully fastened on the end of a stick about four or five inches long by means of ce- ment, which Is first heated over 8 gas jet.

Extreme Measures Adopted to Guard
 Against Cholera.
 CINCINNATI, O., Sep. 16.-Mayor Mosby and Health Officer Prendergast had a conference, and as a result Cincinnati is under rigid quarantine. City police and physicians are stationed at Maysville, Ky, where they will meet c. & o. trains, others at Lovekind, Dayton and at every point where trains from the East can en- ter the city.
 The quarantine will include persons from infected points, foreign or other wise. All railroads have been notified that no more immigrants will be allowed to enter the city, and if brought to Quar- antine station they will be thrown upon the care of the road bringing them.
 Dr. Prendergast says:
 'I have declared the city of Cincinnati under quarantine. It will be as strict as martial law during the war.
 "We are threatened with an enemy whose ravages are horrible to contem- plate, and no effort or expense will be spared to prevent its introduction into the city.
 "Every port in the State will be quar- antined and guarded"

until then, and be transferred to the city by boat.
 An inspection this morning of the Normannia's passengers quartered on Fire Island shows that all are well.
 It is stated that the baymen in their sail boats took off about fifteen of the Normannia's passengers, quarant ined on the island, during the night at the rate of $25 per head. The passengers who thus escaped from the island were landed at some isolated point along the shore. and had to wade for a considerable dis tance through the marshy ground to reach terra frma. Other boats having on board refugees from the island that tried to land at the steamboat dock were driven off by the sentries.
 The steamboat Cepheus has arrived at Fire Island to take on the baggage of the Nornannia's passengers, and be ready to start back with them.
 Half a dozen Custom House officers arrived for the purpose of inspecting the baggage of the quarantined passengers in order that 1t will not have to be done when they reach New York. Three phy- sicians also arrived from New York.

The Reading Strike Settled,
Great Rejoicing All Along the Line-Com- mon Sense wins-Frick Sense and Pig Sense Falls.

Sense Fails.
 ~ In these days of enlightenment and progress, a strike that cannot be settled by common sense, as against Prick sense and pig sense, shows @ lack of intelligence for which there is no reasonable excuse. Last week we sent copy of Waterbury daily to President Mcleod of the Reading railroad system containing our famous article on "WATERBURY'S BRASS TRUST" and at the same time urging him in the interest of law and order to settle this strike by Thinking It Out in ,stead of Fighting It Out. He followed our suggestion to the very letter, and after the conference with Chief Arthur. he said "We had a very pie asant confer ence, and found in this case what l have always thought and believed, that when two men get together who are fair minded and wish to reach fair decision, 1t does not take them very long to get at one." This is the key to the whole sit uation and 1t Is of supre me importance to Waterbury and those concerns which are depending upon regular freight. It would have paraly zed our exhibitions as everyone can see by entering our newly arranged stores on South Main and Grand streets. Our great efforts are fully realized. The rich and the middle classes can find ex- actly what they want We nave put new soul into our business. They think they are in Boston or New York; with this difference however, OUR PRICES Are FAR LOWER. There Is some pleasure in dealing with a concern that will give you your money back without grumbling if you are not perfectly satisfied. We won't have a dissatisfied customer on our books. IT DON'T PAY. If Mrs Jones or Mrs Smith say to all their friends: "Go to the Wat, rbury Furniture company to buy your goods. They are the best people we ever knew to do business with. They won't keep goods except those which they can tell the truth about. There are no dark spots in their business. They put conscience into their methods, honesty into their dealings and quality into their goods," 1t is the best advertisement we can get We would rath r have the Chol- era in Waterbury than lot of customers dissatisfied. Our carpets are the best manufactured. Our stoves and ranges .are the best that wealth can buy, or money returned. We have a line of hall trees that you must see to appreciate. They are PERFECT GEMS. Don't miss T this chance if you want a hall tree. We are getting in new goods every day and our stock will be complete by September 20 we hope. Window shades, curtains, . etc.

 WASHINGTON, Sep. 16.-The Treasury Department is seriously considering the question of imposing restrictions upon railroad traffic into Washington by way of New York City should there be any further cases of cholera reported in that city.
 Secretary Foster this morning sent for District Commissioner Douglass and will talk over matters with him. He desires especially to know the sanitary arrange ments made in the White House lot where sleeping apartments have been erected for 25, 900 men during the G. A. R. encampment.
 There is some question as to whether the Local Health Officer of Washington has the power to establish medical in- spection of passengers coming from in- fected cities or whether 1t is the province of the general government
