A DIAMOND IN A DUCK.

A pair of hard working East
Side young women are rejoicing
to.day over the realization of a
substantial profit yesterday
morning, on an extremity lucky
purchase which they made more
than a week ago. They purchased
duck and diamond at that time
tor the moderate outlay of S.
cents. They ate the duck, and
seem to think they got the worth
OF their money then. But fate
had better things in stole for
them, and yesterday an acquain>
lance paid them $S5 for the dia>
nond.
The lucky young women are
Misses Bertha and Josephine
Krauss, of / 80 Avenue F. They
earn their living by working
nine or ten hours a day, as mill>
liners, and live in a little room
up winding stairs. 1t was here
that a reporter of the New York
Times round them yesterday
afternoon, doing some extra work
in hat trimming to augment their
incomes.
Bertha explained that she
went to a Ridge street butchers
shop a week ago last Thursday
to get a duck for Saturdays din
ner. "You see," she added, "I'n
a Jew, and I like to eat little
dark meat on the Sabbath" The
duck was a good specimen of
his kind, but bore no external
marks to indicate that he had
ever dined on more expensive
diet than wet meal or bullfrogs.
When Josephine came to cut him
open, however, his gizzard dis
closed a sparkling yellow bit of
stone, which did not look like
anything she had ever found in
the digestive apparatus of pre-
ceding fowls. She called her
sister, and they examined the
find, without deciding whether
it was a genuine diamond or
not.
They ate the duck while still
in doubt. The stone was pres
erved, and before long the girls
took it to their place of work,
and their companions held a
small levee over 1.-THE result
was, as Bertha expressed it,
"Some say it was diamond, and
some say it amt" Mr.. Hart, the
foreman, said that it was. how>
ever, and congratulated the
Young women on their luck.
The stone was accordingly
taken to a peddler Of jewelry
named Stern, who informed its
owners that it was a genuine
diamond, and worth sS5.-He
had the courage of his convic-
tons, evidently, for he purch-
ased the stone at the price he
had named. and Bertha and los
ephine made off in great joy.
The diamond weighs about three
carats, and is of inferior water,

WILL STAND ALoOF.

The sound money Democrats Of Bristol
Va, have, as far as seen, decided to stand
aloof and take no part in the coming pri-
maries that choose delegates to the Roa-
noke convention. They say that they see
plainly that the CHICAGO platform will be
endorsed ut Roanoke and that they can
not stand ON that platform any more
easily this fall than they could last No
vember.
They state that this is the position of
all the SOUND money Democrats in Vir-
ginia, from Richmond to the extreme
limits of the State. Letters have been
received from many prominent members
OF the party throughout the State urging
this action and promising support in
their counties and sections
1t is understood that the State sound
money Democratic committee is to meet
soon and take what action may become
necessary in this matter.

ELLYsoN CONFIDENT.
He Says if Richmond is Solid for Him He
Will Win.

Richmond, June 11.-"Gentlemen. if
you will promise to give me your support
here in Richmond, will promise to re.
turn from Roanoke after the convention
as the gubernatoriRl nominee of the DEM
ocratic party in this State.''
Thus spoke the Hon. J. Taylor Ellyson
to about four hundred of his friends, who
assembled in Saen9er Halle last night, in
conference, for the purpose of shaping %
policy advantageous to Mr. Eliyson in
the comirg campaign.
The meeting was to have been held in
Lee Camp Hall, but it was soon found
that the place would be totally made
quate toaccom!nodatet the many friends of
Mr.. Ellyson, so Saenger Halle was Sc
cured. and an adjournment was taken to
that place.
Loud cries of "Ellyson'' echoed from
all over the hall, and Mr.. Ellyson walked
upon the stage. His appearance was the
signal for an outburst of applause, that
continued for several minutes, and when
It had subsidized so lie could be heard, Mr..
Ellyson advanced to the footlights and
said:
"Mr. Chairman ard Fellow. Citizens,
can't tell you how much appreciate this
cordial manifestation of your ESTEEM.
have always sought to conduct myself so
as to merit it. 1 thought would like to
have a conference with you to endeavor
to find out what you know. and to tell
you that which I know. I suppose You
desire to know W hat the Waterman thinks
of the night?"
Following this remark the great watch
man of the Democratic party in this. State
then gave utterance to the prophetic
statement which heads this article. 1t
evoked the widest applause
Continuing Mr.. Ellyson said.
''For six years have been chairman of
the Democratic party of this State, and
no man has ever known me to venture a.
prediction, but now with the strong hosts
of the Democratic party behind me be-
lieve L shall win. Perhaps you would
like to know what Others think of my
a few of the letters which l have recently
received. They are from conservative
and leading Democrats. men whose opln-
ions can be relied upon.''
Mr.. Ellyson here read extracts from let
ters received from the following counties:
Wise. Southampton, James City, Rock
ingham, Albemarle, Alexandria,, Wash
ington, Accomac, Wythe, Bath, Allie
ghany and Scott.
All of them were highly favorable to
Mr.. Ellyson's nomination and pledged
him their hearty support.
In conclusion, Mr.. Ellyson said: ~
know the Democrats of Virginia, for in
this respect I have enjoyed exceptional
advantages.
81 have never been in any campaign
where l was as sure of the result. in
other contests, however, did the major
portion of the work, but in this I must

Western railroad one of its most faithful
and respected officers. Col. Huger was a
South Carolinian by Firth and at an early
age entered the United States Military
Academy at West Point Graduating
from that Institution just at the Begin
ming of the war between the States, he
fearlessly drew his Sword in defense of
his nativity, the South, and by deeds of
daring and loyal bravery soon won for
himself the title and distinction. of Col

work-hss become more and more widely
recognized as time has passed, until now
there may fairly he said to be something
approaching unanimity in behalf of this
method among the intelligent advocates
of sound finance. Yet there seems to be
a great deal of vagueness in most peo-
ple's minds as to what the real function
of such q monetary commission would
be. Mr.. wanamaker, in an utturance
widely published day or two ago, said:
"het authority be given Immediately for
a monetary commission to determine
what the United States wants to do on
after it and get it as promptly as posi-
ble." Upon this, the New York Sun re-
marks that "no monetary commission can
determine what the United Estates wants
to do on the money question:" and that
only "the voters of the nation can do
that
This is quite true, in the sense that
the determination of the general policy of
the nation cannot he delegated to COM
mission. But it is an entire misapprehen :
sion to suppose that. this is what the
commission would be designed for. Its
only legitimate function would be, not
to determine tke end aimed at, but to
discuss and pronounce upon the efficiency
of the means which may be proposed for
attaining that end. The great danger
about currency reform, when the time
comes for legislative action, is the paraly-
sis of the friends of sound money through
the conflicting claims of the various
measures that will be sure to be put for

Sale of Liquor Begun in Charleston Tn
der Simonton's Decision.


Charleston, S. c., June 1.-THE first
"original package store'' for selling liquor
in this State under the provisions of the
recent decision of Judge Simonton, of the
United States court, was opened here
today. j. S. Pinkerssohn, as agent OF
New York firm, imported one thousand
cases of liquor via Clyde Line steamers.
The goods were hauled through the
streets and, without being molested by
the State constables, were lodged in II
storeroom on King street, the city's lead
ing thoi onghfare. The establishment
was opened at once and began selling liu-
uor in original packages. 1t continued
business throughout the day without
trouble.
Within the next few days several other
similar establishments will be opened
here. All the stuff sold to day was IN
gallon packages, but in Il sh >rt time
packages containing pints and half. pints
of liquor will be placed on sale.
~ Exactly what action is to be taken by
the dispehsary authorities n this. con.
nection is not yet known.

Ninety per cent. OF the Democratic vot-
ers of Roanoke favor Major sTyler's can
didacy as opposed to Mr.. Ellyson, and it
is unfair ard unjust, not to say cowardly,
to fail to come out uneQuivocally and SOL
idly for Tyler. 1t can be readily under
stood why designing politicians, place
hunters and traders desire an uninstruct-
ed delegation. To fail to instruct for
Tyler would prove most gratifying to Mr..
Ellyson's friends and his workers would
herald it at every precinct in Eastern Vir-
GINA and use it as an argument to show
that Tyler is not wanted event in his own
section. Many sins and outrages are
committed in the name of politics, bnt we
do not believe the people of Roanoke will
allow this iniouity to stand.
