Lives In n Tenement, but il Able to
Pay $5O,OOO for Jewels.
From the New York World
There came shuffling through the length
of a well-known jewelry store in this
city the other day a creature strangely
out Of place among all that fnery and
cleaning jewelry.
1t was not possible to suppose that she
was even the servant of one of the magnifi-
cent-appearing women who sat there wait
Ing. She paid no attention to them. They
thought she was some scrub woman who
had entered by the wrong door,
For she was shabby, oh! so shabby.
On her head was a hat which no woman
could describe, and which was but a relic
of a former generation. A sealskin coat
that had been worn out years ago was con-
Spicuous because of it's worse than shabbi-
ness, while her skirt was really disrep-
utable. And yet beneath that shabby ex-
terror was q fortune in diamonds.
The firms expert in diamonds approached
the shabby old woman with Difference and
placed before the homely woman in the
shabby clothing the finest and most rare
diamonds that were in the safes.
Indeed, everything in the line of diamonds
that millionaire buyer would look at was
placed before this very indifferently dress
ed woman. Instead of having an eye to de-
sign and setting she was all Indifference to
The salesman flashed the big white beau
ties in her eyes to show their PROJECTIONS.
The strange woman tried on the orna-
ments. She studied the effects of one after
another. The bracelets cleaned below the
tight sealskin sleeves.
A CLEAN Of pleasure came in the woman's
eye as she caught the. lights from the bits
of white stones.
The last necklace was magnificent af-
fair. The woman turned her head this way
and that to catch the effect of the rows
of diamonds. She took off the necklace and
held the stones to the light. The price was
told her.
She tried it on again over the common
looking waist
I'll take this" she announced
And, as If the cool, Indifferent way in
which she bought the necklace wasn't suf-
ficient, an immense roll of money was pro-
duced from her skirt pocket. Fifty thou
sand dollars was counted out from the roll.
and then the woman tucked apparently as
much more away in her pocket again.
THAT" said the salesman, as he looked
after the disappearing figure, that is a wo-
man who prefers diamonds to everything
else. She buys diamonds instead of real
estate. OF course. there's no income from
her diamonds, but that is her way. What
Is more, that woman and her diamonds live
in q tenement house. She gets all of her
comfort in life out of her diamonds. She
never wears them, and they represent a
large fortune"

TO SILVER REPUBLICANS,
The silver republicans all over the
Territory owe it to the cause and to
themselves as free silver men, to use
every honorable effort within their
power to prevent T. B. Catron's cleo
ton to the Office of delegate TO con-
gress at this coming election. 1t was
On Catron's advice that silver was ut
terly ignored in Albuquerque early in
the spring, when the delegates to the
national convention were selected. II
silver had been endorsed in the plat
form then, the republicans would have
been united to-day, in the cause, as
they are in Utah and other western
states. But no, Mr.. Catron thought
he knew best, and matters had to be
run to suit him.
Here in Las Vegas, it is known that
man after mdn from the different
counties of the Territory asked him not
to come before the convention as a
candidate, as his candidacy would
mean sure defeat at the election. He
swore and stormed about and threat
ened all name of things against
those who opposed him.
His position on the money question
is anything to get money for Catron.
1t isn't a question Of gold or silver
money with him but Catron money,
and the methods he uses to obtain IT
are as questionable as his honor 10
other matters. Mol for the silver men
to help elect Catron would be worse
than to elect the strongest goId-bug In
the Territory, for he is the direct cause
of silver being snubbed all the way
through by the republican pie-eaters of
New Mexico.

the only blood purifier allowed an ex-
hibit at the Worlds fair, Chicago.
Manufacturers of other SarsapaIillas
sought by every means to obtain a
showing OF their goods, but they were
all turned away under the application
OF the rule forbidding the entry Of
patent medicines and nostrums. The
decision of the Worlds fair authorities
m favor of Ayers Sarsaparilla was in
effect as follows: "Ayer's Sarsaparilla

DROWNING MADE IMPOSSIBLE.

Tourists now coming back from
abroad report having witnessed a curious
sight on several of their journeys up and
down the Rhine. Down the middle of
the stream, they say, came a queer-look-
ing monster Large, inflated wings
seemed to keep it above the water In
it's hands it held an open book, and the
face of man, with a heavy mustache,
bent over the book. The current carried
the queerly shaped mass along, and
soon the passengers of the boat were
informed that Il. w. Kuhl, a German
civil engineer, with an inventive turn
of mind, was giving an exhibition Of the
feasibility of his new safety cloak,
which makes death by drowning impos-
sible.
The construction of the cloak is, of
course, the inventors mystery. Out
Wardly it does not differ in any way
from an ordinary overcoat, lined with
a double layer of rubber. 1t is very
light, and the material with which it is
filled Is Of kind which makes sinking
in water impossible. 1t takes but two
minutes to slip it on, fill it with air, and
have it thus ready for use. Any ship
wrecked person can easily spend from
sixteen to twenty days swimming along
in the water, if provided with the pants
and shoes belonging to the new garment
and the necessary provisions for bod
lily sustenance. The cloak alone, how
ever, is sufficient to keep a person sew
eral days comfortably on the surface of
the water.-St. Louis Republic.
