WHENCE CAME THE DIAMOND
A Gem That Modern Art hao
Raised Highest.
The Singular Substance of Witch 1t lie
Compossd-One of tho GrAndest
Contributions of Nature
to Man.

When you see brilliant and beautiful dia,
mond glistening on the ueck of prsIty wo.
man, have you ever reflected on the origin of
that dazzling thing-we mean the diamo ed?
Perhaps such sight is not conducive to
Election, but, my boy, your mind should be so
stored with knowledge that everywhere vol
cast your eyes you Sc things that are familiar
to you from way back to the beginning You
say diamond is a stone. Has it ever occurred
to you that it is little bit OF as9 Ye that is
what 1t is, crystallized carbonic acid gAs This
gas, too, is an exceedingly deadly thing { IN
hailed, but in order to res uce the diamond to
its original gas, there must be perh APPS a. many
degrees OF heat applied to it there were tons
of pressure resent in that old busy day OF
mother nature when she was with her terrlb
furnaces and fearful laboratories making tn ,
world that is so smiling and peaceful today.
But the diamond was not always regar ded az
the most valuable and i'm portant of the prec-
ious gems. Its great hardness and powerful, re.
sistant properties TO heat rendered men for
long time unable to penetrate It's dull exterior
and show 1t forth as the brilliant jewel we
know it today. But in 1856 an old German
found out tn 1t by rubbing one diamond against
another both would become polished. and then
we soon had the diamond poll hlnS wheel
which brought US the beautiful cut diam onds
you find in M. Germans window Today.

diamonds, go where you can find hundreds OF
object lessons. Go to NJ. Germans jewellery

the cases full of beautiful cut nd set diamonds
he has there, and if you want wedding ring

of the late E. F. Spence, in Southern

SOUTHERN California day at the mid
minter fair, on Monday, passed off very
satisfactorily. Quite a delegation from
this city and large number from the
southern counties we're present and en-
joyed the exercises. By the most siren
uous exertions nearly all of the contri-
buttons were in place, and the Southern
California building and exhibits were
greatly admired. The grafton of Hon.
w. A. Harris Of San Bernardino was a
fine piece of horid eloquence, brilliant
with poetic coloring. and picturesque in
descriptive allusions to magnificent
scenery of this favored section. His
exordium is so fine that it will lose
nothing by being repeated. He said:
Amid scenes of bewildering beauty
am to speak to you Of land OF sunshine,
OF orange groves, of flowers; land Of
brooks, of fountains, of barley, of wheat,
OF vines end fig trees, OF olives and
honey; land where, standing beneath
an orange tree. breathing the fragrance
of its blossoms, caressed by soft breezes
gentle as the touch of love, with gar
lands of many hued and loveliest flowers
spread at your feet, you can look sloft
on cloud-piercing peaks; on piles upon
piles OF auow and where reigna eternal
white and where icy winds blow.

AN ASTOUNDED HUSBAND
HE ASSERTS THAT HIS WIFE HAS
COMMITTED BIGAMY,
And Points Out Her Name on the
Marriage License Record-He
claims They Were Not d.
verced-His story.

That's my lawful wife," said man
named Kelly in the county clerks Office
yesterday morning. pointing to ma me
in marriage license.
Deputy Sam Kutz looked at the man,
then at the license, rubbed his eyes and
said:
"You don't say 30"
Eyes, do" said the man, sorrowfully
but emphatically.
do you mean that she has married
some one else while che ia still married
to your" asked Mr.. Kutz, his eyes open
to their widest extent.
That is just do mean, and don't you
forget it, said Mr.. Kelly.
but that is bigamy."
THAT is juet what she has done, any
way, whatever you call it. She's mar
ried some one else."
The license was made out to G. D.
Fay, aged %, a native of Missouri, and
Julia Kelly, aged %, native of Penn
sylvania. the residence of both given 90
Los Angeles.
An examination of the records Of the
county recorders Office showed that the
license had been returned there Feb
ruary 8th, and that the ceremony was
performed the same day it was issued
January 80. 1894, with the endorse cement
that the couple were married that day
by Rev. Paul Drank OF Los Angeles, a
minister OF the gospel, and the witnesses
were Peter Pfrrman and Mary Wonder
Kuhlen.
MIR. Kelly stated to the deputy county
clerk that some time ago his vile de
serted him, and he commenced divorce
proceedings against him. Before the
case came to trial, however, she re-
turned, and he dropped the proceed
ings.
He had been absent from home for
some time recently, and upon his return
few days ago he found that she was
gone again.
He was told that she had married an
other man, but did not believe it until
he came to the clerks Office and saw the
marriage certificate with his own eyes.
He reiterated again that the woman
named in the license was his lawfully
welded wife, and that there had been
no divorce between them.
Mr.. Kelly did not intimate that he
proposed taking any steps in the matter
towards lodging q complaint for bigsmy
against the former partner OF his Joys
and sorrows, and walked slowly and
thoughtfully out of the Office.

SOME woman who. has more volubil'

conducts department devoted to the

that is the way of business. While the
managing editor sits in his easy chair
and draws q big salary off other peoples
lsbors, the poor detailed reporter is
thrsshing around thro' rain and mud in
search OF a dog6ght or divorce, he
don't care which. It's the way the
world goes, little woman. Every woman
who goes into q newspaper Office to get
her own living, crowds out man; and
if she cannot bring herself down to do
ing q mans work, che should not seek
to draw mans salary. The world owes
a living to every man or woman who 10
willing to work for it, and when .
woman asks for work on q newspaper
she must not be too squeamish about
