Diamond Merchants Have to Watch ous-


 Joshua Chapin, a. jeweler of London, while visiting a diamond dealer in Mai den lane, related this experience with clever thieves:
 Hong after thought I knew all the thicks of diamond thieves had an ex- perience that taught me lesson at the cost of three thousand pounds.
 "A gentlemanly-app appearing, plainly attired man came into my shop one morning and asked to see some soli- taire diamond rings. I waited on him, and did SO with great caution, yet tried to avoid giving offense. placed before him a tray containing forty rings, and did not for a moment take my eyes from his fingers while he was examin- ing them. As is customary, the tray was filled, so that a vacant place would be readily noticed.
 My customer evidently knew the merits of the stones, and was able to select the most valuable ones at sight. He appeared to enjoy examining them, and did so in a deliberate manner that aroused my suspicion. Finally, he ap- peared to be undecided as to one of three rings and ended by saying he would call the next day with his wife

Granjeau and May are drawing thous- ands to the Wonderland this week
 Their performance on the slack wire is marvellous. No wonder they drew large audience for two seasons at the Victoria theater in Paris. The comedy part of the bill is also fine William H. Daly in his clever parody songs has made great impression. When he sings of the country couples visit to the living pictures exhibition, and tells how the jay fared at the burlesque show, he makes lot of fun for all. Storms of applause greet MT. Daily at every performance. Miss Gladys Van is a. great favorite also, her pretty face, sweet singing, graceful dancing and Winsome manners attracting all hearts to her and winning her round after round of spontaneous applause The Miss Swinburne and Howard Pete Shaw, the Sankey brothers, Napier and the Emmet trio, and the Durell brothers complete this excellent bill.

Grand Onera Ionse.

The Wilbur comic opera company con
 tinued it's successful week last evening
 with Aubers ever popular Fra Diavo- To-" the audience being very large, The performance was on the lines made fa- miliar by the Wilbur company, the buff fo work taking a much more prominent place than the music. The singing was more conscientiously performed than is sometimes the case, and some of the choruses were much applauded. Mir. Clark as Fra Dlavolo" made the end- ing, which is rather shocking at the best, as gory as possible, and the bed room scene, in which Eloise Mortimer took the part of "Zerllna," was rather more than less indelicate than usual The comic parts of "Beppo" and "Gui- como" taken by w. H. Kohnle and Claude Amsden, were lively and anus ing. The other parts were taken as fol- lows: "Motteo," Gus Vaughan; Fran cesco, l.. Pineus; Lorenzo" J. E. Con ley; Lord Allcash," Emmet Drew; Lady Allcash," Lillie Taylor; 'Ro- berto," Belle Hamilton; "Petro," Edith Tedrow.
 The living pictures called out enthu- siastic applause. The posing is artis- tic, the light and colors dazzle and fas- cinate and the subjects are well select ed. A special feature is the picture of "Trilby," which is shown as a living picture for the first time in America ft, q Proctor's on Tuesday night The pie ture is received with rounds of ap- plause, but no entores are allowed on the pictures, and as a special event "Trflby" represented by pretty Miss Yorke, was again shown. This picture is creating a great furore. Miss Belle Hamilton sells the matinee tickets ev- cry day.
 The prices of admission are 15, 25 and 35 cents, and as the week draws to close there are great crowds at the mat inees, including many ladies and chil- dren This afternoon Dorothy" will be sung and this evening Bohemian Girp' will be given.
 The Grand was packed to the doors last night Even all the standing room was taken. It was an immense audi enoe. People win find it advisable to buy tickets in advance afternoons in order to make sure of seats.
 '"The Ups and Downs of Life" is the title of Oliver Byrons new play which is to be presented the first three nights next week, which is, practically speak ing, only in it's infancy, possesses great merit, being full of originality, attrac- tive and romantic situations and beau tiful scenery. It ranks among the best of modern dramas and will be given by MT. Byron and his powerful com pany.
 Professor Schurr's collection of bugs, beetles, snakes birds and other curi- osities has been retained for another week in the lecture hall annex at the Grand Opera house. Another special feature will be a reproduce ton of the pageant of Mardi Gras in New Orleans. Visitors to the theater have free admission to the hall.

and take one of them. This action made me the more suspicious, and l was careful to see that all the rings were in their places before he left the shop.
 When he did leave sent clerk af- ter him, and we learned that he and his wife were at one of the leading hotels, registered from New York.
 He returned with a woman the next afternoon, and the tray of rings was put before them. They were both very deliberate and examined every ring in the tray; but I took care not to have more than two spaces vacant at time. Finally, ring, valued at hundred pounds, was selected, and was told to mark it and send it with the bill to their hotel. I was about to suggest that did not like to mark the ring un- til it was paid for, when the man hand ed me ten pounds. which was more than enough to indemnify me in case the ring was not taken.
 T examined my tray very carefully and found that it was full, with the ex- ception of the space that had been oc- cupied by the ring just sold. felt re- lieved, and congratulated myself on having made a good sale. My custo- mer gave instructions as to the mark ing and left the shop.
 'I handed the ring to our engrayer to be marked and proceeded to make a bill to send with it to my customer. Soon the engraver came excitedly to my desk.
 Do you know this ring is plated and the stone paste?" he asked.
 1T was dazed for a second and then saw 1t all. I hurried to the tray of rings and found every one of them like the one the engraver held. The man had made an imitation of each ring and deliberately substituted the bogus for the genuine ones and thus robbed me before my very eyes. never saw the or the diamonds again. "-New York Herald.

the name of Larry Bangs did not shine as
brightly as heretofore in the galaxy of
fame. But Paddy did not mind that a
bit.

he sailed forth. They'll see that I'm
all right
Lawrence was too sadly crushed to
care what Paddy did in his name except
SO far as it had to do with Florence

the youthful detective of fiction He
had SLOUGH hat and false mustache.
and he imagined that he was prepared
to do something desperate.
OF Paddy's advent into society there
is only word to be said. There is a
strange and grotesque character in fic-
tion which is called the college student.
by fiction" is meant pretty nearly
everything that is written about col
lege life, whether in books or in cur
rent news paragraphs. This character
gets into courts, he assaults peace
able citizens and always gets the
worst of it; he disturbs the audiences
at theaters; he speaks in a dialect so
full of slang that only the police can
understand it: in short, he is as
near like the real student as Paddy
oToolc is
The character is so strongly fixed in
the public mind that it is very hard for
real student to do any thing bad
enough to excite remark Paddy's ec-
centricities fitted this character so
nicely that even those who knew Law
renee well did not regard them as &c
traordlnary In fact, Paddy succeeded
much better than Lawrence FOR he was
SO much more like real. live college
boy. There was a "stand-up feed.
that night, and Paddy supplied the
needs of dozens of girls.
Nobody stood any chance against him
in the struggle for salads or ices and
when he appeared with about forty
plates piled on his right arm as he had
seen the walters in South Cove restau-
rants carry them, he was loudly ap-
| plauded II was the hit of the even

OF lnadvertence when he forgot that
his name was no longer O'Toole he as
serted that his ancestors were kings of
Ireland and thereby added the only
luster that the name of Bangs had
lacked.
He succeeded in accompanying Flor
ence TO the door of the house in which
she was staying, which was only a
stones throw from Mr. Parsons. Law
renee trailed them in the style Of the
best melodramas, and heard Paddy
promise again and again TO retrieve
the awful disgrace of the Cambridge

You've made your play, said Paddy,
land now it's my turn just watch me.
Tomorrow night I'm right in it with
the swells."
Lawrence had kept his agreement
with Paddy, but he had shaved it down
little. 1t was not an event of the
first rank in which the Young man
from the South Cove was to make his
debut. But then. he didn't know that,
and was never likely to find it out. so
it is hard to say he was cheated. Be

the bluest blood in New Haven was

There was a crush of pretty girls, and
among them was Florence Lorne. who
had come down to New Haven on pur-
pose to attend. Lawrence had Sc
leeted this affair because he had felt
sure that Florence would not be pres
ent. He was still jealous of Paddy.
II must be admitted that the moment
chosen for Paddys experiment was not
suspicious. The Harvard game was the
great topic of conversation among the
friends of the New Haven college, and

university. II must be admitted that
Paddy did extremely well. Within an
hour he had mastered the fashionable
hand-shalxe and had learned to enter a
room without giving the impression
that he was hunting for trouble. Law
renee was a patient teacher, and an
couraged his pupil heartily.
The next day, however, the boot was
on the other leg, and the relations
between teacher and pupil were less
cordial.
Lawrence may have been by nature
as apt scholar as the other. but the
young gentleman from the South Cove
was wholly lacking in the educational
method.
They went to a vacant lot in Sc
cluded part Of The city and there prac-
ticed in the shelter of board fence.
You've got to learn the curves to
begin with said Paddy. Wen begin
