The Chronicle.
5. 5. Gile, of Clyde, met many of
his old friends in the city, this week,
who were glad to see him, though
sorry the atllction that causes his
lameness does not seem subside.
A tax of three tenths of Il mill was
levied by the county board, last year,
for Soldiers Relief fund, which
produced a fund of $l945.05. The
same tax of three tenths of mill was
levied by the board this year. but as
the assessment of the county this year
is $10,003,36l more than last year, the
fund will be increased to about S4,946,
or more than double the usual amount

A Ring out of IA Single Diamond.

A ring exhibited at the Antwerp cx-
hibition was the adm iration Of diamond
cutters and merchants, being the first
successful attempt to cut ring out OF a
single stone There are great many
difficulties in this method of cutting
diamonds, as the stones have IA certain
cleavage and particular veins, all Of
which have to be carefully studied III
order to prevent splitting just as sue
cess seems within reach. After several
unsuccessful attempts and three years
labor the feat has been accomplished by
the patience and skill Of M. Antoine,
one Of the best known lapidaries Of
Antwerp. The ring is about six.eighths
of an inch in diameter In the Marlbor
ough cabinet there is "a ring cut out Of
one entire and perfect sapphire. Ed.

AN RECORD.
Career of Sne New QuartermHster
General Of the Army.
President CIeVesand's Selection of Con.
Charles q. sawtelle for This Post
Has Been FavorabIy Received
Other Changes.

The president has filled a vacancy in
the quartermaster's department of the
army, and filled another caused by the
first, by the appointment of Col. Charles
G.. Sawtelle to be quartermaster general,
with the rank of brigadier general, vice
Gen. Richard n. Bachelor, retired, and
First Lieut.. Carroll A. Devol, Of the
Twenty-ffth infantry, to be an assistant
quartermaster, with the rank of cap
tain. The appointment of Col. Sawtelle
to the higher office makes the following
additional promotions in the quarter
masters department: Lieut.. Col. Will
liam Is. Hughes, TO be colonel; Maj. J.B.
Furey, to be lieutenant colonel, and
Capt. c. a. Booth 10 be major. The va
cancy in the lower grade named was
filed by the transfer of Lieut.. Devol
from the line.
The selection of Col. Sawtele for the
quartermaster g~eneralship was pre-
dicted o after the retirement of Gen.
Bachelor. Gen. Sawtelle stood at the
head of his corps, and was next in line of
promotion. He was senior in service to
Gen. Bachelor, and was jumped when
the latter was made qu~artermaster gem
eral several years ago. He has had a
long and creditable career in the army.
He was born in Maine May 10, 1884, and
was appointed to the military academy
from that state July l, 1850. Graduated
July 1, 1854, he was appointed a second
lieutenant of the Second infantry, Gnd
ayear later was transferred to the Sixth
infantry. He served as regimental quar-
termaster from February Is, 1857, to
June 10, 1861. He was appointed a first
lieutenant June 5, 1860, and Q captain
and assistant q~uartermaster May II,
1861. In August, 1862, he became an
acting lieutenant colonel in the quarter
masters department, and rose through
the grades in the regular establishment
until he became colonel and assistant
quartermaster general, September IL,
1894.
Gen. Sawtelle has an excellent record
for active service during the civil war.
He received the brevet rank. of major,
lieutenant colonel and colonel March Is,

duty, had brought him into conspicuous
notice. There is no doubt at all that il
was largely due to his efforts that GER
tain amendments were made in the cleo
ton laws which are calculated to put
an end to the frauds which so long pre-
vailed in our populous communities.
The blank:ballot law of 1895 was one of
the results of the agitation'which was
begun at Troy and vigorously prose
cuted throughout the state.
Mr.. Black is a member of the present
congress, having been elected in 1894.
He is a graduate of Dartmouth college,
having made his way by hard work and
great self-denial. He is now in the 44th
year of his age. Those who know him
best believe that he will bring to the
discharge of the duties Of the office to
which he aspires genuine conscien-
tiousness of purpose, with an intel
lectual equipment adequate to their
creditable performance.

Governor of Now York.

Frank $. Black Republican Candidate for
Governor of New York.
The nomination of Hon. Frank S.
BLACK as the republican candidate for
governor of New York was a genuine
surprise to a great majority of the peo'
pie. 1t seemed almost certain at the
outset of the convention, says Leslie's
Weekly, that its choice would fall in an
other direction. 1t became apparent,
however, to the party leaders that either
one of the selections which seemed the
more probable would be likely to
ALLEVIATE tho support of a very large
body of republicans; and a the out
come of this condition new forces as
serted themselves, and Mr.. Black was
chosen as best representing the prinei-
pies of that element Of the convention
which, while in sympathy with the So
called machine, was hardly prepared to
slap in the face the opponents of the
dominant organization. Mr.. Black is
not altogether unknown to politics. His
participation in the movement for the
overthrow Of the desperate gang Of
DULLES who had so long made a travesty

pecially his effort to bring to justice the

TOO BIG 4 JOB.

We have more silver in our curren,
cy today than gold, and more, proper,
tiOnately, than any other civilized n a
ton in The world. The minis Of all
the other great nations are all closed to
silver, and they have long since stOpp'
ed adding silver to their currency.
The value of silver has diminished
about one-half, while it's production
has more than doubled within the last
twenty years land it's relative value has
dropped to one-thirtieth that of gold.
The strongest and richest nations of
continental Europe, after a persistent
struggle, have given up the attempt to
sustain free coinage as hopeless. The
greatest silver-using and absorbing
country of the world, India, has also
abandoned the effort to stand upon a
silver basis and sustain the burden
Of a currency measured by a constant
ly fiuctuating standard.
In the face of these facts, and of
the warnings Of the best expert au-
thorities on financial laws, and the
monetary conditions that confront us
all over the world, would it not be
rash for us to attempt alone the task
from which other nations hae recoil-
ed?

These homes are to be built by
the company and sold TO their
employees on the installment
plan at a low rate of interest.
The plan is the same as adopted
by most of the factories in the

where the workmen would neces-
