THE STORY OF a GEM.
A Beautiful Emerald That Had an Inter-
esting History


esting History.
At the Weddell house there Is a
horseman staying. That horseman has
nm emerald the size OF thumbnai ana
the emerald has a history. He bears
the gem on his black necktie, and this
Is It's story: Back in he was coach
ing between Sacramento and San Fran
cisco. His partner had q beautiful pin.
an emerald Of great size, surrounded
with diamonds The man at tho
Wedden house wanted the pin and
finally traded with his partner, giving
team OF horses in exchange. He
then took the pin TO San Francisco
jewcler and asked his opinion. The
jewelcr smiled as he looked at the
stone, took little tool out and de-
tached the emerald from the setting.
It proved to be two pieces Of glass
cemented together with a piece Of
green paper between The man who
owned the pin was mad He was also
flush, SO he told the ieweler to pnt IN
an emerald to match the glass in size
and color and 1t was done at an ex-
pense seven hundred dollars.
The partner who had cheated his
friend liked to bet on sure thing, and
fixed It up with pal to bet the owner
Of the pin that 1t was false. They all
met in barroom at San Francisco, and
the pal said TO the supposed dupe.
Jim, you like that pin you got in
trade with Abe, but I'll bet it's no
good.
Jim acted the indignant, said his own
partner would not cheat him, and Of
fered modest bet
"'Taint huff" said the pal. Make
it an even $500 and III 90 you"
oh" eaid Jim, careIessly, IF you
want big bet make 1t clean 81 900
and put up the DUST
The money was, staked and the whole
crowd went out to a jewelry store up
the street The pin was presented and
was pronounced one OF the finest en-
eralds on the Pacific slope. Abe nearly
dropped in his tracks, for hel furnished
the money secretly to his pal, and the
other poor fellow who made tho bet was
paralyzed.
There must be some mistake he
said; lets try another jeweler." They
did, and the verdict OF the second ex-
pert was that the stone was genuine.
Jim pocketed his thousand and said
quietly to his partner: ABE, I'm Just
$500 ahead on that little deal OF yours.
I'm going to open a few bottles Of
champagne for the boys st. Louis

%. The colors of Great Britain we're un.
usually prominent at the Worlds Fair yes
terday. The British building, and those
Of Canada and India were brilliantly deco
rated
"God Save the Queen" was played in
each of the buildings controlled by Her
Maiesty's subjects, and the day was given
over to festivities bv all loyal Britishers
1t was all in celebration of Queen Vic
toria's birthday.
The event was formally terminated at a
banqueU at the Virginia Hotel last evening
given by the Worlds Fair commissioners
of Great Britain and her colonies to 15G
prominent British subjects and residents
OF Chicago
The Canadian Worlds Fair representa-.
tives held a reception at their pavilion dur
ing the day. There were toasts and re-
sponses and music and refreshments, and
the affair was most delightful.
The German section IN the Agricultural
building was formally opened yesterday
by Imperial Commissioner Wermuth. A
number of prominent German Americans,
German exhibitors and Worlds Fair off
cials were present. After the opening an
elaborate luncheon was served at the Ger
man village.
The Theodore Thomas question may be
considered practically settled, and as a re-
suit Mr.. Thomas will remain in charge of
his department with his powers of control
slightly curtailed to satisfy the members
of the National Commission who were
clamoring for his dismissal. The result
was arrived at at a stormy meeting of the
Board of Reference and Control
Immediately after the National commits
sion assembled yesterday Commissioner
Massey arose and rendered his resignation
rs a member of the Judiciary committee,
In giving his reason for resigning he said
that the commission had not adopted a
single majority report of any Importance
submitted to it by the committee since he
had been member The only logical
| conclusion was that the commission
lacked confidence in the integrity and
| ability OF the committee. As chairman of
the conlmJj1ac he felt bound Co resign,
He had not acted hastily. He had consid-
cred the matter carefully, and no amount
of persuasion could induce him to continue
! as a member of the committee.
Commissioner Massey has taken a lead
ing part in the fight to keep the gates
closed Sunday A majority report from
! his committee in favor of Sunday
closing failed of adoption by the Ma
| tional Commission.

OUR BUSY LAWMAKERS.
Work Done by the Legislators
at Harrisburg.
PROCEEDINGS IN BOTH BRANCHES.

The judiciary Local Committee Makes
But Two Changes in the Salary Bill
Governor Pattison Approves the PEN
rose Moasuro-A Long List of Appro-
priation Bills Passed.
HARRIsBURG, May 25.-Yesterday's pro.
ceedings in the legislature were not of
particularly enthusiastic nature, the great
er portion Of the day being devoted to ap-
preparation bills
The first incident Of the proceedings was
a "call of the senate less than quorum
voting on the first bill to authorize church
corporations owning burial grounds to
purchase other grounds and to sell and
convey such portions of their lands not
used or conveyed by them for burial pur.
poses, or which may have been re-conveyed
to them. Subsequently the bill passed and
the senators managed to remain in their
seats or in the vicinity thereof until ad-
joumment.
The salary bill as amended Tuesday was
re-committed to the judiciary local com
mittee for amendment. There were but
two changes-oue making the corporation
clerk in the auditor generals department
deputy attorney general at salary of
S3,OUO increase 5000, and one of the ten
clerks chief bookkeeper at a salary of
81 800, increase S400
Governor Fattison notified the senate
that he had approved the Penrose bill
abolishing the public building commission
in Philadelphia
The bill providing for an additional law
judge in Washington county was opposed
by Senator Dunlap, who made speech
against it, However, the bill passed finally
Among the bills ps ssed finally were the
following:

70 provide for the painting of portraits
Of John Penn, Thomas Penn, Generals

Providing for the release of sureties on
bonds required in various courts and the
substitution OF new sureties.

the Soldiers and Sailors home at Erie
Appropriation for Good Samaritan hos
pital, Lebanon; So, 900 to purchase law
books for the use of the supreme court.
Providing for the insurance OF the public
buildings.
These closing days the appointment Of
conference committees is frequently neces-
sary owing to non-concurrence in amend
ments to bills.
The bill to prohibit the peddling selling
| or hawking OF merchandise, wares or other
| goods without license was re committed
10 the judiciary general committee.
