supply OF Emeralds Decreasing.

Bmeralds are said to be steadily disap-
psaring. In the sos and COS emeralds
were the favorite jewels, and were worn
strung on a thread like pearls. Such a
string of emcralds was exhibited in a
jewelers. window in Unterden Linden
and was estimated to be worth 1900
marks. Now emeralds are no longer pol
ished into a round form, but are polished
like diamonds. Faultless stones OF a
deep color nave always been as valuable
as diamonds. The reason OF the scarcity
of emeralds is the decrease in production
in the Ural Mountains. Emeralds were
first discovered on the right bank of the
Tokowoier, near Katharineburg, in 1880,
and In the first year the harvest was a
rich one. Now the decrease, both In
quantity and quality, hardly repays the
labor. The harvest of emeralds in La
bachtal, in the ~Salzburger Alps, has also
proved Disappointing, so that emeralds
are now only 10 be had from Australia
and Muse, near Santa Fe de Bogota, in
Columbia, in any appreciable quantity.
The latter spot has been noted for its
emeraids since the sixteenth century.

A Long Debauch Ends Fatally.

LOWELL, Mass, Jan. 25.-Annie j. Har-
ward was taken from a hotel to st. Johns
hospital, where she died under apparent
ly suspicious circumstances. Her case
has attracted some attention, owing TO
superficial indications of malpractice, bu-
an investigation by Medical Examine
Irish, c. pt. Richardson and the secret8r
OF the overseers of the poor, and an exam
instion by three physicians show tina
there was no condition of pregnanc1.
She had been in the country near Nashua

B%ROUkfON'S LABOR A
The knights of Labor VIII Withdraw
from Central Labor Union.

from Central Labor Union.
BRocKToN, Mass, Jan. 25.-The labor
war between the knights of Labor and
the shoemakers here, has assumed a new
phase. The Knights have again shown
their hand in the fight and will, IL is said,
withdraw from the councils OF the Cen
trail Labor Union. The state assembly's
action commanding the Knights TO with
draw from the Boston Central Labor I'M
ion means similar action so far as Brock
ton Is concerned.
The delegates who are likely to with
draw are those from the Handsewed
Workmen's Assembly 1927, while the
bakers will remain in the council. The
shoemakers, who comprise four-ffths OF
the organizations represented in the
Brockton Central Labor Union, have for
more than a year supported a boycott de-
clared by the Bakers Assembly X. Of L.,
while District Assembly 80 refused TO sup
port q boycott declared by the shoe
makers.
A very prominent member OF n leading
organization OF shoemakers said, yester-
day, that the action OF the knights in re-
fusing to sustain the Lasters' Union boy
colt, may mean something on paper but
not so far as results are concerned. The
knights are in a small minority among
the shoe craft and their action means
further losses from their ranks.
Said he; 81 fail to see the wisdom OF
the Knights of Labor leaders i'm fighting
the trades unions and their label. We are
prepared to protect our own craft, as We
have the money and the numbers to do it
with. What attitude we shall take
against the knights is not certain, but ii
is very doubtful whether a policy of re-
taliation will be followed. Capital looks
at the situation with glee. Instead OF re-
taliating we shall strive for a greater or
ganiZation, SO that when our demands are
made they will be granted, They will be
granted without the assistance of any,
body not affiliated with the American
Federation OF Labor. The boycott OF the
Lasters' Union is just, and the combined
strength OF the federation will be
brought to its support. There is an in
clination amo Ig certain M mbers of the
knights OF labor TO repudiste the action
OF the general officers, but he laws OF the
organization forbid 1t, and consequently
nothing is left for the delegates TO the
Central Labor Union except TO with
draw,

Here is a pretty set OF small doilies for
individual butter plates. They are made
Of plain white damask, and merely but
tonholed around with a sort Of saw tooth
edge. The veining Of the leaves is done
in stem or outline stitch. Both white
n colored wash silks are used in the
embroidery. One with ordinary artistic
ability can draw a set OF these doilies in
six different patterns after so many forest
leaves, with indented edges, such as
maple, oak, tulip tree, etc. There are two
of a kind In each set of a dozen. Another
set might be made for the tumblers, to-
gether with a larger one for the water
pitcher. Water lilies are a pretty design
for the last named set. These may easily
be varied by using different colored silks
in working.

Paret, bishop OF Maryland, says OF the
late Phillips Brooks: His thought, his
speech were as commanding as his bodily
presence; more commanding. Body and
soul were we'll mated to make a large man.
He had at once an enthusiasm for Christ
and an ~enthdsiasm for humanity. Few
men have welded so powerful a personal
influence upon the men OF their own
time. His death Is a great blow to Mas
sachusetts and especially To Boston. 1t Is
a loss to humanity. 1t is n ! rss to the

TRIAL NEARING The END.
Decision will Soon be Reached in
the Panama Case.
CLEMENCEAU ON THE DOCK.
The De Lesseps, Cottu. Fontane and
Biondin Culpabie-The Famous Trial
Likely to Come to an End Soon, it Is
believed.

PARIS, Jan. 25.-Chairman Brisson in
formed the parliamentary commission OF
inquiry yesterday that Arthur Meyer, di-
rector OF the Royalist daily, the Gaulois,
had refused to appear before the commits
sion to testify as to the charge made by
Charles de Lesseps that Meyer received
two Panama bonds OF $4,000 francs each.
Meyer claimed that the commission has
no authority over journalists.
The case of Clemenceau occupied most
OF the commissions attention yesterday.
NJ. L~abruyere, the journalist, c~orroborated
Clemenceau's statement that NJ. Stephane
had not delivered to Clemenceau Baron
de Reinach's memoranda concerning per-
sons compromised by the Panams bribery.
NJ. Stephane then reiterated his testimony
against Clemenceau.
sit Is ridiculous to say that am the
agent Of NJ. Clemenceau's political enc
miles," he said. "Nobody melted me to
make the statement against NJ. Clemen-
ceau and / have no object in t~estifying
Except to Tell the ruth"
M. Romannet, C-lemenceau's private
secretary, testified that he had never seen
the memoranda in question. He consid-
cred NJ. Stephene TO be the agent OF a
political conspiracy against his chief.
Deputy Vale read the report OF the
sub-commission appointed to Investigate
the workings of the underwriters syndi
Gates. The report contained the figure
rs to the erroneous profits of the men
who guaranteed Panama loans without
any appreciable risk TO themselves.
NJ. Franqueville has finished his exami-
nation OF eighteen persons connected
with the Panama scandal. He has decid-
ed hat Ferdinand de Lesseps, Charles De
Lesseps, Henry Cottu, Marius Fontane,
ex-Deputy a Leroy, ex-Deputy Gobron,
NJ. Arton and NJ. Blondin are culpable.
His decision as TO the other ten Is not yet
known. Ex-Deputy Gobron is supposed
TO have received a Thierree check for 90
600 francs. The specific charge against
Arton is that he bribed NJ. Sans Leroy.
Nj. B~londin, a NJ. Baihaut's private sec
rotary, handled the money that passed
between the Panama people and the min
lister of public works, besides having 9th
or compromising dealings with the canal
company.

HOW TO DARN STOCKINGS WELL.
II Is Just as Easy rs to DO Them Badly
II One Knows How.

II IL Just as Easy rs to Do Them Badly
II One Knows How.
The secret of successful darning lies In
Z" running " the thread of the darning
cotton so far on each side OF the hole
that it does not Immediately fray n
pull out of the goods. Take a long thread
OF darning cotton to begin with, and run
1t at least half an inch along the goods on
each side of the hole. Continue this I'M
til the hole is snugly covered. Now cross
these threads in the regular darning
style, taking care that the same precau-
tion is observed. A stocking darned in
this way will wear, as far as the darning
is concerned, just as long as though no
hole had ever existed.
To darn very large holes, such as are
apt to occur with even the most careful
steppers when shoes are loose at the heels
or are illfitting, something more than a
thread OF darning cotton is necessary. A
case like this requires a patch. Such
holes almost always occur in the heel, SO
that in treating of the method OF mend
ing them it is safe to take the heel for a
model.
From the leg of an old stocking, such
as is sure to be found in your basket, cut
a kite-shaped piece OF goods about FIVE
inches long and four inches across. Turn
the stocking wrong side out and lay the
kite upon the heel so that the long
pointed end runs up the back OF the leg
and the lower rounded part is at the base
of the heel. run" down the centre Of
the kite with a stout linen thread, tax
ing rather large, loose stitches. Now
"run" In the same way across the kite
shaped piece, letting the thread be very
slack. The next step is to sew the patch
tightly 10 the heel, which Is done by
stitching it around the outside. II deft-
ly done there will be neither wrinkle nor
crease to tell the wearer that SO import
ant an operation has taken place upon
the heel Of the stocking.
Patches that are made Of material other
than bits of old stockings are apt to be
harsh. And it is by their use that the
patched stocking has fallen into disrepute
among comfort loving people.
But, let the housewife give this simple
little method a trial and she will live to
rejoice that such a useful bit of knowl-
edge has been added TO her list Of house
hold facts.
