A PuZZling Word.

There Is word of plural number,
A foe to peace and human slumber.
Now, any word you chance to take
BY adding you plural make.
But if you add an 8 to this
How strange the transformation Isl
Plural is plural then no more
And sweet what bitter was before.
This foe to peace and human slumber
Is found to just five letters number.
The first is G; the last is g.;
The others are as you may guess.
Now add another to these
And you have what will lovers please.
The first host of ills and woes,
AS every human heart best knows:
The last escaped from Eden's froN5n
To man, ne drop Of heaven sent down.

Her Diamonds are all Noted and have Par
ticular Points of Beauty,


Washington, July S.-The statement
recently made that Mrs. Leland STAN
ford was about to sell her marvellous col
lection of jewels in aid of the Stanford
university has revived interest in these
famous gems. Mrs. Stanford on sever
al occasions during her residence here,
either at the White House receptions or
at dinners, wore such elegant jewels
that it was generally supposed Wash
ington had seen the last of them. After
the death of her son Mrs. Stanford
never again cared to wear jewels. and
when she did so it was because of her
husbands desire, and she selected the
simplest she owned. The others re-
posed in the darkness of her bankers
vaults, and were never brought to this
city.
There are few more choice and ex-
tensive collections of gems among the
royal family of the Old world than
hers. Their value is variously estimat-
ed at from s1.000,0G0 to $4,000 900. OF

GIANT SUCTION IN THE OHIO.
Cause OF the Wreck of the Longfeilow is at
Last Discovered.


Cincinnati, July S-A clue that may
solve the mystery leading 10 the cause
of the Longfellow disaster has been dis
covered in the wreckage of the boat
The pilots have all along claimed the
boat took a sudden sheer on them as il
approached the c. and o. bridge and
that almost superhuman efforts upon
their part could not prevent the boat
from daShing as Ii did against the
pier. United States local inspectors,
after these statements, examined the
river at that point, together with gov
ernment engineers, and they admitted
that there was a certain suction at
the Kentucky pier of the bridge that
drew them there firmly. When the
great Crane boat fastened its ponder
Gus lifting machinery around the boil
ers of the Longfellow and started TO
pull them something seemed TO hold
them back. The boilers were jammed

BRAzILIANs AND THE FRENCH.
Another Battle which " i'll Give the MonrO
Doctrine Business In South America.

Doctrine Business In South America.
Washington. July S.-The strained re-
lations between France and Brazil over
the French Guina boundary appears TO
become more complicated daily. The
subject is analogous TO the British
Venezuela trouble in which the United
States has taken a hand. and In the
opinion of officials here. the French con
test with Brazil is rapidly assuming an
aggravated aspect. which may again
call for the attention Of the United
States, as the Monroe doctrine applies
to one no less than the other. An
armed conflict has occurred in the dis
puted territory between French soldiers
and Brazillians. The French govern
ment has demanded redress and the
Brazilian congress has passed resolu-
ton couched in sharp language calling
for an explanation from France.
A cable report from Brazil states that
the government regards the subject as
so menacing that a strict censorship
has been established on all Information
regarding II. The armed conflict has
merely brought to a crisis the long con-
tenti0n over the French Guina territory
Both countries claim large tract OF
territory extending north from the Anna
zon river and equal in extent to what is
usually designated on the map as
the occupation OF this disputed terrific
ry as unwarranted. The fault for the
recent conflict cannot be placed. French
Guina is wanted by France as con-
vict colony for the deportation Of the
worst classes from the French prisons
AS a result the population Is a strange
mixture of French. Arabs. Malays, and
Greeks and the riff-raff of Paris. where
they are desperate and lawless class.
A few years ago one of these adventur-
ers. a man named Gros, attempted 10
set up an Independent country. He
established a capital and called his
government Independent Guina." The
boundary dispute has run through two
centuries and has the distinction OF be-
ing an article in the two famous trea-
ties, Utrecht and Amiens.
Brazil was formerly a Portuguese col
ony and Portugal insisted that II ex-
tended up to the French-Guina bounda-
ry now shown on the maps. France
claimed that their territory ran down
recht the river Vincet-Pinzeon was
fixed as the boundary. Portugal then
claimed that this river was the north
erly stream now marking the bounda-
ry while France claimed that IL was
the stream near the Amazon. so that
the treaty left the dispute as far open
as ever. Since the recent armed con-
fiict French soldiers have crossed the
boundary and permanently established
themselves in the disputed territory
with the purpose. It is believed Of hold
ing IL by force.
