If the councilman from the eighth
ward, Thomas Savage, would be half as
Jealous in the performance of his duties
to the public and in working for the de-
liverance of his ward from the clutches
of the harlotry trust that The Herald
has exposed, as he has been in serving
the interests of the Southern Pacific,
he might escape the political grave that
yawns for him. Mr.. Savage has been
profuse in promises and boasts as to
what he would do about some of the no.
torious perversions of law and author
ity that are carried on under his nose,
but sadly deficient in actual perform
ance.

WORE THE DIAMOND IN HIS LEG.
A Story Of the Way tho Orion Stone Was
Taken From Persia to Russia.

A Story Of the Way tho Orion Stone Was
Taken From Persia to Russia.
Gus Fox, q dealer in diamonds on
Fourth street, has story about. the fa.
nous Orloff diamond, named after
Count Orloff, the first European who
bought it. Fox says: at was originally
the eye of an idol in Trichinopoli. It
was stolen, according to the accepted
account by Frenchman. who escaped
with it to Persia, where he sold IL for
the equivalent in our money Of %, 900
to Jewish merchant.
1.-THE Jewish merchant sold it to an
Armenian named Shafras, who had
travelled in Russia and conceived the
idea Of taking the diamond to that
country and selling it to the Empress
Catherine for great sum. Shafras paid
him SEQ, 900 for it.
Having secured the stone, the next
question with Shafras was how TO get il
to Russia, or rather how to conceal it
when he was searched by robbers, as he
was sare to be on the road. The journey
was long and perilous one, and thieves
aDouhutu CNtly WntiV.
of swallowing the stone when he should
be taken by the robbers, but was obliged
to give that plan up, as the diamond
was too large to swallow.
''He began to feel he had a white ele-
phant on his hands when thought oc-
CURED to him. He procured sharp
lance, made a cut in the fieshy part of
his left leg and thrust the diamond into
the wound. He sewed up the cut with
a needle and silver wire. It healed,
leaving the diamond imbedded fast in
the leg, quite out Of sight.
"Then he started for Russia. On the
way he was seized by robbers again and
again and was thoroughly searched
Being an Armenian and suspected of
going to Russia to trade, the thieves
marveled greatly at finding nothing of
value upon his person.
HE arrived in Russia at last, and,
after extracting his diamond. visited
the empress. He was willing to sell il
for about $3.50, 900, but the empress had
not SO large an amount in cash for the
purchase, and Shafras preferred to go
on to Amsterdam, the seat Of the dia-
mond cutting industry, where he had
the stone polished.
Here Count Orloff, an extremely
wealthy Russian. saw the diamond and
was filled with determination to Sc
cure it for the. Russian crown. He did
secure it, but Shafras exacted from the
Russian government $400, 900. an an
nuity of SEQ, 900 and a title of nobility.
He died q millionaire.
"The Orloff diamond weighs 1876
carats and is about the size Of pi.
geon's egg. 1t is smaller than the Kohl
moor, in the possession Of the English
queen, which is supposed to be worth
%, $50, 000 "-Cincinnati Enquirer.

ONE HEART.

I sometimes linger DER the list
OF friends lost in other days,
And still the question with me stays
doubt IL others think the same,
Or even wish TO share my thought
That men were foolish who have sought
To leave n never dying name.
When thou hast run thine earthly race,
Thou wilt not "lcave n world in tears.
Nor will men come In after years
To view thine earthly resting place
Thy poor remains will rest ms well;
Thy spirit will be no less free.
Although 10 Is not thine TO be
A Milton or Raphael,
Fret not thysolf, but heaven thank
II all tho good that thou canst do
May be 80 done that only few
Need ever know thy place is blank
Be thankful if but ono true heart
Shall feel for thee tho moments pais--
Fro Il can say, "Wo meot ngain"-
OF knowing what II is to part
One loving heart thou maycst crave,
Lest all thou carcdst for on earth
Should seem 20 have no lasting worth
And end forever in tho grave
One faithful heart beneath the sky
In which TO leave seed Of love,
To blossom In n world above
And bear fruit which shall not die.

We did much entertaining, as we
were continually visited by different
members Of the tribe of 200 or more.
They were content to sit and share the
warmth and shelter of our house and
gaze ON the curious things it contained.
They would turn the pages of a maya
zine by the hour, and, holding the book
upside down, ask questions about pic
lures. What particularly pleased them
was anything in the shape Of gun, knife
or ammunition. OF eating they never
tired. The amount Of food they con-
sumed was astonishing, and they par
ticularly reveled in our coffee, biscuit
and pemmican. This love was mani
tested by little ditty that they sang
quite often:

The women are very clever with the

First Ward

The numerous robberies recently COM
mitted in the central portion of town
have now drifted TO the First ward. The
victim is Matt Buczinski, of South Bowers
street. No clue to the robbers has been
found, but suspicion rests ON one Of the
boarders, Karl Dzukas. who drew his pay on
Saturday and skipped, leaving an unpaid
board bill of two months behind. The last
seen of him was on Saturday night, when he
entered a clothing store, and purchased an
entire new clothing outfit, for the purpose ,of
Disgusting himself. The robbery was COM
mitted at an early hour this morning, and
the victim was relieved Of a silver watch, a
sum of money and a few other valuables,
which he had concealed in a trunk, and which
was opened by a false key. Entrance to the
house was either effected by climbing
through a window or using the back door,
which was not locked. Dzukas' friends are
under the impression that he is in hiding in
the neighborhood until he has wide berth to
escape.

Its theatrical accessories. Delegate Wash
burn, of Massachusetts,, attempted TO
spring a resolution on the convention to
bind the delegates to abide by the result,
whatever 1t might be, but he was howled
down, and his resolution was laid peace
fully away ON the back shelf.
1t was at the afternoon session that the
tug of war came which ended in the dis
astrous defeat of the s%traightouts. By n
narrow majority they beat the Bryan
forces early in the session Of the determi-
nation of the Cook county contest. Some
of the Bryan men We're alarmed and could
with difficulty be convinced that the bat
tie was not lost. This preliminary defeat
of the Bryan forces was due perhaps TO
o~veroonhdence in their strength. They
undertook to seat the majority OF their
own committee in the Chicago contest.
Only seven actual votes hung in the bal
ance. The fourteen Taylor delegates who
held seats were Bryan men. The COM
mittee decided to allay bitter feelings If
possible by seating both sets of delegates
and dividing the vote. The contesting
delegates were understood to be for Debs.
At the last ONE the Bryan man
apers concluded to risk the dangerous eX-
pertinent of trying TO force the rejection
of the majority report. Some of their
followers refused to stand by them, and
the result was defeat by n vote of 665 to
GAG. 1t was then 6o'clock, and the mid
die Of the roud' leaders attempted TO Sc
curean adjournment, hoping hat the Of
feet of the victory could be turned to nc
count before the delegates reassembled,
but the effort failed.
At exactly $3.50 Temporary Chairman
Butler raped the convention to orderand
announced that the committee on creden-
tials would Submit a report, and Delegate
Wardell, Of California, chairman of the
committee, read the report. The portion
relative TO delegations where there were no
contests was agreed 60, and then the trou-
BILE began. Mr.. Patterson, of Colorado,
moved that the convention take up the
contests in alphabetical order Of states.
After many objections the motion pre-
vailed.
The Colorado contest was then taken up
and a motion made to adopt the report of
the committee recommending the seating
of what is known as the Patterson dele
CATION. w. j. Carter, Of Georgia, de-
manded a vote by states, and during the
roll call there were frequent outbursts of
applause from the contending factions,
The report of the committee was finally
adopted.
The Illinois case was taken up then.
The majority reported that the two dele
cations from Cook county be seated and
the vote divided. The minority, signed
by fourteen members of the committee,
recommended that DIR, Taylor's delega-
ton be seated A Virginia delegate moved
the adoption Of the majority report, and
Delegate Moran, of Nebraska, moved to
substitute tho minority for the majority
report. After some wrangling 1t was
agreed that there should be fifteen min
utes for debate on each side. Amin the
