AFRICA'S DIAMOND KING.
Enormous Fortune Gathered by One Man
In the Kimberley District.

Enormous Fortune Gathered by One Man
In the Kimberley District.
b. /. Barnato is the king of Africa's
diamond fields, and is said to be the
wealthiest diamond miner in the world.
The story of his career reads like a
page from the Arabian Nights.
Barnato went to Cape Town in 1873,
comparatively poor man. Three
years later he bought the first claim
In what is now the hourishing town of
Kimberley, the center OF the diamond
mining industry in Africa. The price
he paid for it was inconsiderable.
In le8l he owned four claims, which
he fioated into company for about
$4,000 a claim. He was now on a
sound financial basis. In 1884 he
bought another tract of land, paying
the highest price ever given in Kim
berley. But he made from that spec
ulati alone $l00,00J. With the mon
ely now at his command, he be an o j.
Grafton in diamond mining stocks.
His system was TO amalgamate diff
ferent mines and thereby centralize
capital. AT the present time he rep
resents one-half of the diamond ex-
ports of the Kimberley mines. One can
estimate from Mr.. Bar nato's holdings
what his Income must be. Diamonds
weighing $4,000, 900 carats, or seven and
a half tons, have been found at Kimber-
ley since he purchased his first claim.
In the rough, their aggregate value is

eight others injured during the prog

obliged to call out fifty engines and
both boats, the largest force ever
employed at a fire in any city in the
world. The wind, which at times was
almost hurricane, scattered the blaz-

greatly to the difficulty of fighting the

The Weeping Of Horses.

Did you ever see horse cry? Many
people believe that horses do not weep,
but those who have had much TO do
with the faithful creatures know
that on several occasions they will
shed tears, as well as express sorrow.
in the most heartbreaking manner In
the West, where the hardness of the
ponies causes the riders TO almost over
look the necessity Of providing for
their needs, 1t is quite common, when
the weather Is extremely cod, to leave
an unblanketed pony tied tor two or
three hours when the temperature is
nearly zero, and while its owner is
transacting business.
In this case the suffering is evil
denced by the cries, which are almost
like sobs, and unmistakable tears
freeze on to the cheeks like icicles.
When horse falls in the street and
gets injured, the shock generally
numbs his senses so much that he does
not either cry or groan, but under
some conditions an injured horse will
solicit sympathy in the most distinct
manner. | remember favorite horse
of my own VIII CHI trod on nail long
enough to pierce its foot. The poor
thing hobbled up to me on three legs
and cried as nearly like child in
trouble as anything l can de cribe.
The sight was a very touching one, as
was also the crippled animal graft
tude when the nail was pulled cut and
the wound dressed. Farmer.

Vermont's First Maple Sugar.

The first maple sugar that was ever
made In Vermont was in Bennington in
March, 1853, the process taking place
in the first log cabin of the first settler
Ca tain Samuel Robinson. 1t is not
known how many trees were tapped
from watch the sap was obtained, nor
just where the sugar bush was located.
it is supposed, however, that the naples
grew along the hill which slopes sharp
ly eastward from the old acads my in
Bennington Center
The sap was caught in short sections
Of logs that had been followed out to
hold gallon or more. The season was
favorable for free run of sap, the
nights being frosty and the days still
and sunny. A small quantity only of
sugar was made thirty or forty pounds
though liquor cask of good syrup
was obtained. The evaporation of the
sap was performed in small domestic
iron kettles purchased in Albany a
few weeks previously
The precise method of tapping the
trees is not known, though in some
cases in e-Revolutionary times the
AK, gouge and howell were used. This
is all that is known of the history of
the first sugar-making in Bennington,
and it is singular IA that pre- duct
which formed so important an article
of diet with the first settlers should re-
ceive no mention in the preserved re c.
ords of that time.
The only known source of informa-
ton on the subject is II the diary of
Hiram HARDWOOD, on of Ben amin Har-
wo d, who was the first child born in
Bennington. Mr.. Harwoods diary ex-
ten Is over twenty-six years commenc-
ing in lsl0, being a continuance of his
fathers diary begun in 1905, and Civ
ing not only minute record of every
day OF life, but many facts relating to
the early history of Bennington. The
facts relating to the first sugarmaking
were obtained in 1874 from Mrs. Marcy
Robinson, widow OF Captain Samuel
Robinson. -Troy Times.

KENNEDY'S
MEDICAL DISC0VE
DONALD KENNEDY, OF R0yBURY, MASS.

Has discovered in one of our common
pasture weeds a remedy that cures every
kind of Humor, from the worst Serofula
down to common Pimple.
He has tried it in over eleven hundred
cases, and never failed except in two cases
(both thunder humor). He has now in his
possession over two hundred certificates
of its value, all within twenty miles Of
Boston. Send POSTAL card for book.
A benefit Is always experienced from
the first bottle, and perfect cure is war
ranted when the right quantity is taken.
When the lungs are affected it causes
shooting pains, like needles passing
through them; the same with the Liver or
Bowels. This is caused by the ducts being
stopped, and always disappears in week
after taking it. Read the label.
If the stomach Is foul or bilious it will
cause squeamish feelings at first.
No change of diet ever necessary. Eat
the best you can get, and enough of it.

auxiliary of nature, which does it's work with
out gripping or weakening, but always effect
ually. Throw physic to the dogs!" and use
this benign and thorough laxative. which
achieves results which astonish as well as graf
ify those who use It, Not only a regular
habit of body, but complete digestion and as
similation are restored by its use. 1t regulates
the liver and Kidneys, and counteracts ten
dency to rheumatism. In no case where 1t is
possible to procure it should it's use be de-
layed. Fortify with 1t against malaria.

BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

Edward Tobin of Riverside street, who has been sick with the grip, is around again.
 Rev J. H. Duggan went 10 Ansonia this afternoon where he will deliver a lec- ture on temperance for Rev Father Synnot in the parish church tonight.
 The statement has been made by con- servative judges that in few years the new South Brooklyn school will not be large enough for cloak room for the large numbers of children that are growing up around the place.
 |S Last week James Downey, of Railroad Hill street, made an heroic, but unsuccess- full attempt to stop a runaway horse on South Main street. In his desire to save the occupant of the carriage, a beautiful young woman, he was thrown violently to the ground, his clothes were torn and his new tile crushed out of shape. His gal lantry having reached the ears of his lady shopmates, at the Waterbury Buckle com pany, they yesterday presented him with purse, which will sufficiently recompense him for all losses, and informed him that if he had been killed in his effort to save the life of one of their sex, they would see that fitting monument was erected above his grave. MT Downey thanked his lady
  intentions and said that whenever the life of young lady was in peril he never thought of danger to life and limb in his effort to render all possible aid.
 Mrs Michael Harty sent for DEMO GRAF reporter to-day to make a statement regarding her husband, about whom sen- sational rumors have been circulated. She said that she had nothing to say about any of the newspapers on account of what they had said in reference to her husbands leaving town, but desired to state through the DEMOCRAT for the information of her neighbors and the members of the South Brooklyn school committee that her belonging to the school fund. ''Mr Harty," she said, had two hundred tickets printed for the entertainment which was given in the school last Satur- day night Some of the tickets had been given to the other members of the com mittee, those kept by himself being left here and there among his friends to be sold." Mrs Harty has the names of those with whom her husband left tickets and as soon as the tickets left in their possession are returned to her, she will be prepared to make a statement to the committee, which, she says, cannot fail to meet their approval She is able and willing to pay for any tickets that she cannot account for. She knows nothing about her husbands affairs, and said that no one had called upon her to say that he owed any money. Mrs Harty also said her husband had not left the country. She knows where he Is, but does not think that the people have any right to be informed of his where abouts.

New Jerseys Legislature Assemblies and
 Warns Up Immediately.

Warns Up Immediately.
 TRENTON, Jan 9-Both houses of the state legislature convened today The gov ernor's message was received and read. The organization of the house was lively. The Republican house caucus had selected the following officers: John I. Holt of Passaic for speaker; J. Herbert Potts of Hudson, clerk; Joshua Matlack of Burling- ton, reading clerk; Edgar Williams of Els sex, expressing clerk w. N. Norton of Mercer, assistant expressing clerk; John l.. Swayze of Sussex. journal clerk; Henry l.. Brice of Essex, bill clerk; Lysander E. Wat son of Monmouth, ,sergeant-at-arms. Thom- as McEwan of Hudson was chairman of the caucus.
 The Republican senators had nominated Maurice A. Rogers of Camden for president of the senate.
 The Democratic senators held confer ence in the room of the president of the senate with barred doors and a number of attendants to guard all access to them. When they finally concluded their secret confah, they refused to say anything as to the nature of the business done. It is known, however that the conference was called to talk over plan to prevent the Republicans from organizing the senate.
 A significant fact is that Superintendent Ford of the capitol was instructed to take from the desks of tie senators their names, which have always been placed there be- fore the session and which were placed on each desk yesterday afternoon. This is done so that Senator Bradley of Monmouth need not be recognized as senator.
 The plan or the Democrats, so far as can be learned, is to refuse to have Senator Brady seated and possibly Senator Ward of Salem. This would leave the Repub- licans without a majority necessary to elect their officers The Democrats will claim that these senators were illegally elected and will refer their certificates to the supreme court
