IDAHO DIAMONDS.

The New York World, which of course
cannot be said to favor Idaho diamonds
from a local prejudice, thus speaks
of them: "One of the Tiffany ex-
perts and others recently pronounced
against the alleged diamonds from the
Idaho fields, but Herman Vreislander,
an experienced diamond cleaver from
Amsterdam, who is now in an office at
No. 81 Maiden lane, disagrees with
ceived from correspondent in Boise
City three stones which he says are gen.
uine diamonds. Mr.. Vreislander says !;
about January 18th, when the papers
were full of stories of diamonds found in
Idaho, wrote to all the persons with
whom had previously corresponded on
the subject, giving references and asking
for samples. Eventually l received a
package containing three small stones,
with letter saying they were found on
the sender's own property. The stones
are fine diamonds, aggregating in weight
1916 carats, and are unlike any others
that 1 have ever seen. In color they
resemble somewhat the Jagerstontein
stones, but, in my opinion, are superior
to them, their delicate aquamarine tint
indicating that on polishing they will
possess a finer whiteness than the bluer
African stones.
'''The remarkable feature of these
Idaho stones is their peculiar shape.
They are what are known in Holland as
'packwatjes,' otherwise stones with
blunt edges. Now, while such stones
are found in most diamond mines, the
specimens are rare. This peculiarly
makes it improbable that these dia
monds have come from anywhere except
Idaho.'n

ABOUT THE BILLS. 4

Senator Buffers dover bill amends
the existing statutes by giving widow
one-half instead of one third of the es-
tate or inheritance; one half instead of
one-third of the residue from the salts
faction of mortgage after her husbands
death one-half of the rents on the es-
tate she lives on after his death; one
half of the mesne earnings of the estate
when she has to sue other heirs for it.
Senate bill 205 provides that where q
will is admitted to probate, in addition
to having it recorded in the county
where it is admitted to probate, the ex-
ecutor or administrator with the will or
a certified copy annexed, must be re-
corded in every county in which the
testator left any real property in the
record of deeds of such counties. The
act contains the emergency clause.
A bill of Senator Denny's amends the
code relative to the distribution or per-
sonal property of an estate. The exist
ing law provides that the husband of an
interstate shall inherit the whole of her
property, issue or no issue. The new
law gives, in case of issue, half the prop
erty to the survivor, either husband or
widow, and all of it in case of no issue.
Senator Hayes bill, authorizing county
courts to offer rewards for fugitives, pro-
vides that reward, not to exceed 81 600,
shall be offered by the county court for
the arrest of any fugitive from justice
charged with felony. If the sheriff of
the county apprehends the criminal he
can either receive the reward of his reg
ular fees, as he may elect.
Senate bill No. 128, introduced by Sen
ator Cross, repeals with an emergency
clause, section 2,795 of the code, which
provided that the sheriff must post up
three written or printed handbills in
each precinct in his county to the effect
that he or a deputy would be at the pre-
cinct's voting place at certain time for
collecting taxes.
Senate bill 2o9 provides that person
meeting with an accident upon a public
highway or bridge, in consequence of the
poor condition of the same, shall be en-
titled to recover damages from the
county to the extent of 81 900, by an ac
ton in the circuit court of the county il
which the accident occurred.

One of the principal dangers mena-
cling the w. G.. T. L. is It's overwcening
admiration for the w. G. T. U. We
have been called mutual admiration
society" and while the accusation is
not true ON the whole there is good
foundation to fear it may become so.
Two white ribboners were discussing
a third a few days since and the first
INDUCED in sharp but truthful crit
icism. Said the second, Il never find
fault with white ribbon woman"
Now pause and consider. 1t is arrant
nonsense to suppose that w. c. I. U.
women are perfect. and if we begin by
endorsing each other unquestioning
ly. what an excellent cover the Tenn
perancc Union would soon become for
hypocrisy. Our woman must live up
to certain standard, for we cannot
afford to fit the standard to the woman.
Stick to the truth! That is the only
safe guide for political party or phil
anthropic organization. The Farmers
Alliance struck on this very rock. We
find much fault with a man who votes
for IA Democrat or Republican who
is not the right sort of a man but who
is endorsed by my party" Beware
that we do not find ourselves in the
same reprchensible habit of unques-
tioning endorsement. Honest criticism
will never injure a good man or woman
and the truth is not SANDER. 1t may
sometimes be scandalOus. but is it not
better for us to know the scandal and
avoid the author thereof than endorse
one at whom the world may justly
point the finger of scorn? Give us the
truth. and look out for the man or
woman who breads it's search-light.
This is intended as note of warn-
ing aud may every W. c. i. U. woman
heed it.
