Several days ago man lost his dia-
mond stud on Ninth street, between
Grand avenue and MCGEE. 1t was
valuable jewel, and he did not want
to part with it, therefore he placed an
advertisement in the Star offering a
reward of $50 for its return to him. 1t
was not more than an hour after the
Star made its appearance that even
ing than the people turned out to find
the diamond stud Next morning more
than hundred men, women and chill
dren were engaged in the search.
They were of all grades and condi-
tons. The shabby man was very
numerous, and there was also a fair
spr:nkling of colored women. Well
dressed men left the sidewalk, attract
ed by the crowd, and poked around
with their sticks. When a newcomer
approached and asked what the peo-
pie were looking for, he was answered
in a suriy way, and every one seemed
suspicious and jealous of his neigh

Two colored women hunted togeth-

There is a crowd of hard-up people

AUTOMATIC DOCTORS.
You Now Drop Il Penny in the Slot
and Get a Prescription.

New York World.
Observation-Disclosures machines have
been applied to many novel uses, but
the queerest of all these catch-penny
contrivances is one that gives you
prescription if you are sick and need
one. These automatic doctors are Of
English origin, and at the present
time may be found on street corners
in many parts of London.
They are made of wood to the like
ness of man, and are about half the
size of the American cigar store In
dian. He is unlike the Bannock In
dian, however, in that he is full of
holes. All over the body, head and
limbs of the figure are slots for the
reception of the penny fee charged
for the prescription, and beneath the
slot is the usual opening, from which
the prescription issues after the penny
has got in it's final work. So;
These automatons are the property
of the London Automatic Prescription
company, an incorporated concern
which has among its shareholders not
a few of the foremost physicians in
London. AT first a very few of the au-
donations We're put out by way of ex-
pertinent, and the mistake was made of
placing them in the fashionable prom
enades, such as Rotton row, Petticoat
lane and portions of the Strand. Here
the swell chappies whetted their
curiosity for a time by dropping pen
MES in the slots, and then the wooden
physicians got to be a colossal joke.
In a short time, however, the au-
donations We're removed to the White
chapel district, where they met with
a generous patronage from the poorer
classes. Of course, these figures do
not dispense medicines, as there would
be an insurmountable obstacle in the
law. The prescription given by the
figure for a penny is good one,
generally prescribing the standard
remedy for ordinary ills, such as tooth
ache, earache, headache, etc. Then
there are antiseptic dressings for cuts
and liniments for bruises, tonic for
the hair and salves for corns and
bunions. In each case the prescription
bears the name and business address
of the apothecary whose shop is near
est to the automaton.

Writes n Letter to the Depart-
ment of Justice.


TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Aug. 19.-The
Railway Times, the organ of the
American Railway union, in the cur
rent number gives to the public the
correspondence between President
Debs and the department of justice in
regard to the application for a pardon
which was filed in the department by
a labor union of Philadelphia without
the knowledge of Debs or his associ-
ates, who are serving the sentence i'm
posed by Judge Woods in the Wood
stock Jail. Some of the Times COM
ments are lurid in vituperation.
The first Debs knew of the ap-
plication for a pardon was a notice
from the department of justice that as
eX-District Attorney Milchrist had re-
ported unfavorably on the application
1t would not be granted. Then Debs
wrote to the department to ask where
the application came from and to Mil
christ to tell him that ne had not asked
for a pardon.
In the letter to the department of
justice asking for the names of the
persons who made the application
Debs says: "It was an utter sur
prise, as we had not thought of asking
for a pardon. The department of JUS
tice refused US justice and we scorn
its mercy. 1 speak for all my col
leagues as well as myself when 1 say
we would rather rot in jail than enjoy
our freedom by the clemency of those
who sentenced u.s.
The pardon clerk sent the names of
the applicants, and Debs to this re-
piled that he and his associates de
sired no pardon, because they had
committed no crime. and had not been
tried or convicted. We are entitled to
our liberty as a matter of right, but
we do not want it on the ground of
mercy"

Col. Y. D. Walsh has been in the
city day or two looking after his
vast real estate interests here. He re-
sides at Bayou Sara, 100 miles north of
New Orleans. He is one of the largest
growers of cotton and rice there is in
the Gulf state. The colonel is well up
in years, but still active in body and
alert in mind. He makes annual visits
here, and when he does so is always
a guest of his old friend, William
Dawson ST., and at Mr.. Dawson
home Gil b e man found the colonel
last evening.
After modestly disclaiming any idea
that he might interest the public, he
said:

Gen. Becker and other railroad

road, and are much pleased over
what they have seen on their jour-
ney. Gen. Becker was seen by a
G o b reporter last evening and
talked in an interesting manner on
the subject, his story demonstrating
again what can be done and what
is possible in the great state of Min
neSota. He said:
This railroad was originally built
by man named Wright, who is the
head of Saginaw lumber firm. 1t is
forty miles long. These parties had
purchased large tract of pine lands
and built the road for no other purpose
than to bring their logs from the lands
to the mouth of Swan river and from
there the logs were foated down the
Mississippi to some market. But the
final development seems almost in
creditable. Shortly afterward Mr..
Wright discovered a great iron mine

present terminus of the road 1t soon

property. This mine is of unknown ex-
tent. It is said that the ore bed is fully
$50 feet thick, but it's extent is not
known. Now they have the largest
steam shovel in the world at work
there and at every lift it brings up and
loads into the cars the great amount
of three tons. This ore is mined at
cost of three cents a ton and loaded
upon the trains for shipment The
company is now shipping 125 cars a
day from this mine alone and the
property has mada the owners million
aires. The mine is called the Welcoming
and has developed the railroad from a
logging road to an iron and general
road. The line is now by law a COM
mon carrier In the full sense of the
word and has been opened for general
passenger and freight traffic"

Gives n Very CreditabIe Enter
tafnment at Aurora Park.
The temperature was hardly of the
sunny South variety at Aurora park
last night, where several hundred peo-
pie gathered to witness Col. Peppers
colored performers dance around
cake and hear them sing those old
plantation songes which they know
so well. But a chilly atmosphere can
not depress nor repress the joysome
spirit of the Afro-American, nor did
it last night check the resibilities of
the audience that filled the grand
stand
The programme was varied, for the
cofored man is versa tile in his way.
The colored boy is not slow either. A
dozen or more of pickaninnies, some
of them fairly hidden from view be-
hind and under base trumpets big
enough to swallow the whole band of
them-tooted away at various instru-
ments and turned out some pretty big
music for such little fellows. The
washington POST and High School
Cadets marches were bagatelles to
them.
The adult portion of Col. Peppers
aggregation comprises about a dozen
colored gentlemen of diversified tall
ents. Some can sing sentimental bal
lads like 1.-THE Fatal Wedding" some
can do funny turns and every one of
them can shake his feet, especially
around big fat frosted cake with
five dollar gold piece imbedded in the
middle of it,. for the man who could
execute the most fantastic steps. All
this was done last night and more too,
but the cake dance which wound up
the performance was the 'piece de re-
sistance" of the evening.
Messrs. Givens and Robb entertained
the assemblage with a characteristic
version of the Alabama Coon" B.
F. Bembrin and Harry Brown sang
popular ballads, the Magnolia quartet
recalled visions of the "Old Kentucky
Home" Brown and Gillian contribu-
ted some lightning sketches" en-
titled Artist and Pupil and Master
Willie Porter did a neat little turn
called 1.-The Colored Aristocrat."
The show will run all the week, but
matinees will be omitted, for the sun
light at Aurora park is for the ex-
elusive benefit of the st. Paul base ball
team, and possibly might not har-
monte with the character of the pres
ent entertainment.

Machinists will appreciate this de-

jaws upon the tap or reamer, the hand
being sufficient to tighten the jaws so
firmly that there is no loosening of it's
grip while tapping or roaming.
