ONE BIG DIAMOND.
A Man In Brazil Is Made Rich by Find
ing 1t.

A Man In Brazil Is Made Rich by Find
ing 1t.
Diamonds, are rather plentiful, now
adays," said a jeweler TO a representa-
tive of the st. Louis Globe Democrat.
INT like many great men, there are
very few large ones. We all know of
the Kohinoor, the whilom treasure of
the kahn of Persia, and again the
great orange diamond, now in posses
sion of the German emperor: but the
largest diamonds are not always finest.
Sometimes large diamond fails to
sparkle properly, lacks radiance and
color. Such a stone upon being divided
will often make several very brilliant
and valuable small diamonds, whose
aggregate value would be more than
the great colorless original In the
early dawn Of civilization diamonds
were the cause OF more crime than even
gold or silver. They have been swal-
lowed for safe-keeping, frequently caus-
ing death.
Murder after murder can be traced
to one or the other Of these great dia-
monds as the principal cause Some
dire state intrigues and plots have had
a diamond for the center or nucleus.
One of the finest diamonds in the world
was found not long since in the Brazil
ian sands 1t came in novel form. A
small quartz rock was found. about the
size and shape OF an egg, lying in the
sands along the bank Of the Amazon,
in Brazil This was carried home by a
Brazilian peasant, who was attracted
b. its good shape and light weight
For some time it lay in his home.
with a number OF other geological
specimens. a mere curiosity. Happen
ing one day in handling it to drop il on
a stone block. It burst open and lay in
halves on the block The hollow in
terror that gave the light weight to the
stone was filed with blood red sand.
In this sand lay the diamond, a spark
ing gem OF the rarest quality. The
stone was later sold 70 diamond uaer-
chant. and LETT the finder exceedingly
wealthy
1t IS safe 10 say that the next egg
shaped stone found IN that section will
not long remain Unbro}en, and now
that the quality and value q a diamond
. formed IS well known the next finder

MIR. PAINE'S RAILROAD.
An Old Employee Dismissed on
Trivial Cause.

The ADVERTISER from time to
time has called attention to Mr..
Paine, his watering cart and his
queer street railroad. A circum-
stance of yesterday causes the
name of Mr.. Paine to appear in
print again. He dismissed III. F.
Gibbs, an employee of two years
standing, and gave a trivial cause
as his reason for doing so. Mr..
Gibbs says he has never had any
trouble with his employer, and he
was surprised to learn that he has
been dismissed. He claims that he
was discharged for securing sigma
lures to the Annexation Club roll,
copies of which have been in circu-
lation for several days. Gibbs had
not been working in the mornings,
and on Monday he circulated one
of the petitions among his friends.
He claims that Mr.. Paine is not in
favor of annexation, so his dis
charge followed. 1t is rumored not
that the Road Supervisor is going
to compel Mr.. Paine to repair the
condition of his car tracks in differ
ent portions of the city, and echo
asks-When?

THE TABLES TURNED.
A Custom House Guard Charged
With Attempted Smuggling.

A Custom House guard named
R. H. Baker was before Judge Eos
ter yesterday on charge of SNUG
Cling. He was arrested by one of
his fellow guards, and was sup
posed to have attempted to land
some gin from the japanese steamer
Mike Maru, without paying the
usual Custom House charges. H.
Won Werthern, Jr., who caused the
arrest of Baker, said that he found
him, a native with bag, Jap
anese and twelve bottles of gin in
close proximity. 1t looked to him
as though Baker was standing in
with the native and japanese to de-
fraud the Government.
The native was put on the stand.
He said he was employed on the
schooner Rob Roy, which was lay
ing alongside of the Mike Maru at
the time. Baker borrowed $12
from him, but did not tell him
what he wanted the money for. He
was invited on board and given a
sack. Both men were going forward
when the arrest was made.
Baker, on his own behalf, stated
that he was attempting to make
seizure when Won Werthern came
along. His idea was to have the
japanese place the bottles of gin in
the bag and deliver it on board of
the schooner, then he would seize
the liquor and the man at the same
time.
Judge Foster reserved his deci-
sion.

Fortunate Vessel Owners.

If the United States government
decides to take the Hawaiian ISL
ands into the fold it is expected
that the merchant marine of this
country will be increased by quite
number of fine vessels, which are
owned by American citizens, but
which fly the Hawaiian flag, as
they are not American built. Most
of these vessels are owned by San
Francisco merchants, who would
gladly give them an American reg
lister if the laws allowed them to do
so, as it would increase the value
of the ships over 80 per cent.
The largest ships flying the Ha-
waiian flag are the new four-masted
steel ships Hawaiian Islands and
John Ena, and both of them were
built in England for San Francisco
merchants and given a Hawaiian
register in preference to any other.
Besides these two there are sever
al fine wooden vessels and the steam
er Alexander, which hoisted the
Hawaiian flag just before she sailed
on her mysterious expedition after
seals, with a crew of picked men
almost big enough for sloop-of-
war.
The Alexander is not the only
steamer owned in San Francisco
flying the Hawaiian flag, as besides
the Claudine and several others
that trade around the islands, the
big passenger steamer Zealandia,
belonging to John D. Spreckels,
Brothers & Co., also has a Hawaii
an register. The Zealandia was built
in England, and although she be-
longs to San Francisco, has not yet
required repairs enough to entitle
her to hoist the stars and stripes.
When Congress granted Ameri-
can registers to the British liners
City of New York and City of
Paris, efforts were made to gain the
same privileges were asked for the
Zealandia but the privilege was re-
fused in spite of the fact that her own
ers had three larger steamers under
the American flag, and two of
them, the Mariposa and Alameda.
were built in the United States.
So if the promised plan of annexa-
ton is carried out, the Zealandia's
owners may yet have the satisfact-
ion of seeing the American flag
flying from her gaff end when she
goes to sea again.
In view of the possible chance of
thus getting American register for
vessels not built in this country it
was rumored on Change that orders
had been sent to England for no
less than four large steel and iron
sailing vessels, a number of which
are always for sale there. Who
the parties are who are interested in
the scheme could not be learned,
