The attempt to remove Police Justice
Diver Of New York has failed, and Mr..
Diver now feels that he has been vindl-
Gated. The chief reason for its failure
appears to be that it was conducted by
a man who was chiefly bent on getting
a little notoriety for himself, and whose
management of the case was exceedingly
stupid.

Major Strong of New York has made
a good beginning by appointing Colonel
George E. Waring superintendent OF the

Secretary Gresham has concluded to
cali China to account for torturing the
two japanese students who had taken
refuge in the American consulate and
were delivered to the Chinese authori-
ties on the promise that they should be
tried according to the code of civilized
countries. They were accused of being
Spies. and the Chinese no sooner got
possession of them than they proceeded
to torture them in most horri bic man
ner in order to extort a confession. Mr..
Gresham appears to be very innocent
and conGding person. diplomat OF
less confiding nature would not have
been satisfied with the mere promise of
such a government as that of China,
but would have exacted some sort OF sub
srantial guaranty that it would keep its
pledge; the more especially, as not long
agoEhe had an experience with the dusky
Queen of Hawaii, that ought to have
put him on his guard against uncivilized
rulers. What satisfaction he expects to
get out of China now, it is difficult to
see. The students are dead, and AS for
indemnity to their families the victorious
Japanese can be trusted to look out for
that. Probably he wants to make some
show of vindicating himself against the
charge of inhumanity that has been
brought against him in connection with
this affair. But it is rather late for that

Marine Engineers Do Not Always Re-

The marine engineers of the lakes
do not always get the praise that is
due them. If a steamer is in distress,
it requ res careful judgment on the
part of both captain and engineer,
and as great brIvery as has ever been

United States and Chilli, there was a

There's More Excitement Than Fun In
Riding the Brutss.
Many people have an idea that to

There's NO fun in it When q thor

jar in 1t. and ! rather like to have one

bronco bucks and jumps into the air
and comes down stiff legged, with his
feet planted together. that jars every
bone in the riders body, especially
the backbone, and is apt to make him
feel pretty sick in short order.
My frst experience with buck
ing bronco cured me of the idea that
there was fun in it. had heard that
the cowboy always locks his spurs
under tho bronco's belly at such times,
and so did the same. Well, the spurs
went through the horse-hair chinch.
and the bronco kept bucking 70 long

The proper thing to do when q bron-

to the way he jumps, and grip him

LIVING GEMS.


Diamonds Declared to Ne Masses Of
EnormOusly Active Atoms
1t you think your polished diamond
Is mere aggregation of ina1imatc
crystals you are away wrong. II you
imagine that its components are de-
void Of orderly, coherent motion, you
are equally mistaken. It has come to
pass that We are given to understa nd
that diamonds are masses Of active
molecules InAsmuch' IS every conn
pact body is composed of naultitudes
of exceedingly small. yet not inlis-
tinguishable m0tecules. it might be
concluded that in a solid. at least.
these particles would be clustered to-
gether in an indivisible mass. This
theory as applied to diamonds is i'd
correct aud has been completely over
thrown by the researches anil expert
mentations of Sir Robert Ball of LiV-
erpool. The facts set forth by Mr.. Ball
with reference to the structure Of the
diamond are fascinating. He asserts
that were the sensibility of our eyes
increased SO as to make them few
million times more powerful it would
be seen that the diamond atoms,
which forms the perfect gem when ag-
gregatcd in sufficient mTria Is, aro
each in a condition of rapid movement
of the most complex description.
Each molecule would be seen swing
ing to and fro with the utn >st vio-
lcnce among the neighboriny mols-
rules and quivcring from the shocks
It receives from encounters with other
molecules, which occur millions o'
times in each second. The hardness
and impenetrability so characteristic
would az first sight seem to refuteT the
supposition that it is no mOre than .
cluster of rapidly moving particles
but the well-known impenetrabilitJ
of the gem arises from the fact that
when attempt is made to press a steel
point into stone. it fails, because the
rapidly moving molecules of the stone
batter the metal with such extraor
dinary vehemence that they refuse tS
allow it to penetrate or even to marL
the crystallized surface.

days her husband went by night TO

mains and carried them home again.
He was met on the road by man OF
his own color, who, taking him for
ghost, Asd from him. He, however,
told what he had seen, AMI the neigh

found him engaged in rubbing the
feet of the corpse with mustard, and
trying to force down tas rigid thro 1t
hot whisky and water.
The old man said ne hal been
warned in dream that his wife was
only in trance, aad that IL he would
fetch her home and use measures to
revive her she would come to life
again. His grief when the body was
again taken from him was p;tiful, and
he seemed Unable to attend the
second burial. But, as the coffin was
, being lowered into the grave, Uncle
Nuggie suld.uJ appeared. and,
breaking through tho party about the

He Passes Away With Consumption at
Albuquerque, New Mexico.
James Reid, aged 21 years, died at
Albuquerque, New Mexico, on Sunday
morning at 10 o'clock, of consum ption.
He was well and favorably known in
this city and his many friends will be
panied to hear of the sad news. For a
time he was treasurer of the Grand opera
house, afterwards he was a reporter on
the STATE JOURNAL The state of his
health became SO serious that he was
compelled to leave for the mountains in
the hope of benef1ting it. He was taken
i'll about two and half months ago and
it was thought best to take him to New
Mexico in the hope of benefiting his
health. The disease developed rapidly
and he passed away Sunday morning.
He was young man with a promising e
outlook for the future and his death is
sad ending to an upright life- The re-
mains will arrive in the city Tuesday
evening from New Mexico. Notice of
the funeral will be given later.
