A Vast Deal In Diamonds.

Less than three months ago the en-
tire stock of the company controlling
the output of the world was sold to
London syndicate for Sc, $50, 900 the
price per carat being in advance of
that paid at large sale just previous
to that time. The stock of the COM
pany then advanced several per cent,
and the advance is still maintained.
1t is also untrue that shrewd buyers
can now obtain small stones at bar
gain in the European markets. The
market was stripped of wcll-cut stones
by American buyers last year. and the
tendency of prices is now upward, the
fine goods being bought up by Eu-
ropeans as rapidly as the cutters can
tuFn them out. There is no immedi-
ate prospect of a decline from present
prices. Joseph BarmAto represented
the London syndicate that purchased
this big stock of diamonds. and deal
ers say that they do not anticipate any
depreciation in the market.

Advantage In Being Eedheaded.

Nchod.y ever heard of redheaded
mai being sunstruck. Why a red
head should afford any protection from
the rays of the sun or give its owner
immunity from one of the most singu-
lar affections that humanity is heir to
is one of those mysteries that even
the doctors cannot fathom. but the
fact remains that men with red hair
can stand almost any amount of exer-
tiOn in or ont of doors during the hot
test weather and never feel any serious
results from it.

Three aged maiden women by the

who survives. Mary Bullock, aged
SS, Hannah. aged "a, and Elizabeth,

be said that their lives were unevent-
9ul, brG connected with Elizabeth is a
sad and romantic history. Nearly
halt q century ago she fell in love
with n handsome young man and had
made arrangements to be married.
He was ambitious to make his mark in
life, and if possible, secure a for
tune. She refused to accompa-
ny him 20 the West and en-
going. He had made up his mind to
Ro, however, and urged her IN every
way possible TO be married, but she
firmly refused, and said that unless
he surrendered his intention of leav-
ing Salem she would never go out
doors again Her lover went West,
made . fortune, married a buxom
maiden and is now the father of an
interesting family.
For more than forty years Elizabeth
was loyal to her rash vow and never
left the house but once, and that was

KILLING OFF The FAUNA.

Australian Lyre Birds Being Ruthlessly
ExterminAted.
Unless strict measures are taken in
the immediate future, the native fauna
of Victoria, Australia, will soon be-
come extinct The reiterated COM
plaint to the customs department is
that of ''wanton destruction" Such
unique specimens as the platvpus and
the Tyre bird are already very rare,
and, II the present state of things
continues, their total disa pearance
will be a matter of but few years.
The olice have frequently reported
the fact of Tyre birds having been shot
in the ranges, and also the sale Of the
tails, but through inability to prove
the actual killing of the birds. they
have not succeeded in having often
ders punished
The Royal acclimatization society
has now addressed the minister Of
trade and customs on the subject, and
points out that in one shop alone in
Melbourne twentyIyre birds tails have
been displayed for sale at one time.
and that as the hens lay, as rule,
only one egg each in the season. the
present rate of destruction must soou
extinguish the species.
1t is further mentioned that the
bird has an inveterate enemy in the
fox, and that sixteen tails were re-
Gently found near fox's lair in the

be afforded to the Tyre bird and the

A BOOK ON HAWAII.

Captain Nottage, who will be re-
membered as a Hawaiian Hotel
tourist who continually pestered
the papers with remarks on the
weather, has written a book with
the characteristic title, In Search
of Climate" 1t is magnificently
printed and illustrated, and pub
lished by leading London firm.
The work is devoted almost entirely
to these islands, and is not devoid
of interest. The author is royal
ist, but his sta emen;s of fact are
not altogether inaccurate. and are
far from just flying h sentiments.

THEOPHILUS IN WASHINGTON
Given the Cold Shoulder by Grover
and Walter.

WASHINGTON, March 28.-One of
the interesting rumors in connection
with the visit here of MIR. Davies is
to the effect that Judge Gresham,
not Mr.. Cleveland, is in the lead now
regarding Hawaii; that Cleveland is
even more disposed to wash his
hands of the Policy of Infamy than
was Gresham when he realized what
it was. The remark Mr.. Cleveland
is reported to have made when he
heard that Davies wanted to see him,
is construed to have much signific
ance, namely: "What does that
man want of me?" Gresham was
even more curt. His answer to
Davies's card is said to have been
mot at homer SO the guardian of
the Princess had poor luck with the
Administration.
It was In the part of the White
House where Mrs. Cleveland pre-
sides with so much satisfaction to all
concerned, that Davies was a par
ticularly welcome guest when he was
here before with his ambitious ward.
1t is now said that even there the
Euglishman from Hawaii has not
been successful.

PATIENCE ON A MONUMENT.

Theophilus III. Davies was not
happy in Washington. He did not
find that the administration was
waiting for him to settle the Ha-
waiian difficulty. A private letter
from Washington confirms the dis
patches and states that whenever
Mr.. Davies called upon Mr.. Ores
ham. Mr.. Gresham was always
otherwise engaged.
This is a melancholy state of af-
sirs for Mr.. Davies. His hopes
re fallen into the sere and yell
rfeaf. The post at the Court of
iames recedes into the dim
geaal,ce. The naughty aristocracv
coIigland is more inaccessible
aver. No entry into these sa-
ito penetralia-none. No prin-
for step ladder; no thrones
a footstool. Tragedy has no
Ter picture than this.
Fhere is plainly nothing for Mr.
vies to do, but gracefully to
ap himself in his mantle of vir-
de, climb the monument OF
Patience and smile at grief.

ADMIRAL WALKERS MISSION.

The ADVERTISER lays before its
readers this morning the different
theories of the American papers on
the subject of Admiral Walkers
mission to these islands. While
the statement that the Admins
tration strongly intends the estab-
lishment of a coaling station at
Pearl Harbor seems to be we'll
vouched for, it cannot be regarded
as authenticated. Few persons
will doubt, however, that the Cleve-
land Administration seriously con-
templates something of the kind.
The tales about British plot are
probably entitled to very little
credence, though it is not impossl-
BILE that the Administration has
thought it wise to be on it's guard
with reference to any sudden move
of the ex-queen.
Whatever the precise nature o.
Admiral Walkers mission, we are
sure that it can bode no i'll to la
wall. and we cordially welcome the
gallant officer to our shores.
