Eugene gave her comb set with
twenty+three diamonds as a wedding

was a superb diamond 1ocket. Baroness
Burdett-Coutts once gave her an enor-

wonderful set of sapphires was sold
when the diva was obliged by the law
of France TO divide her fortune with
her first husband on separation. The
late emperor of Russia was a donor of
pair of immense diamonds set as ear
rings. Among other articles Nine Patti
possesses twenty three diamond brace
lets and a necklace of very fine emer-
aids.

come to the conclusion that with our
improved sanitary methods the coun-
try should be exempt from this plague,
and they are about right. The disease
was stamped out in the North Atlantic
ports long ago, and a good national
quarantine and efficient sanitary meas

are spasmodic, and the whole business

Studying Yellow Jack.

The present visitation of yellow fever
is attracting attention in Europe. The
Philadelphia Inquirer says:
The news comes from Berlin that a
distinguished German scientist Is about
yellow fever. Doubtless many people
who saw that statement passed 1t by
without a thought. and yet it Is preg-
nant with suggestiveness. There has
been no time in the history of the world
when greater efforts were made to amel-
iorate the conditions that surround hui
manity than that in which we live, and
it is significant of this longing that the
things which we have looked upon as
being firmly established in the order
of the universe, and of which We say,
as of the mountains, that they cannot
be moved, are the very things that in
spire fierce determination to conquer
them, or at least to deprive them of part
of their strength. The cholera, small
pox,a consumption, the bubonic plague,
all that brings devastation and death,
have by turns been attacked in their
Nstrongiholds and largely Invested of their
power
1t is not the first time that efforts
have been made to discover the, germ or
the cause of yellow fever Ms dical men
have already gone to South American
ports and made Investigations. and
while ii Is true that there has not besn
any appreciate result from what has
been done, the mere fact that it was
done at all Is sufficient to show what a
firm hold this longing for original re-
search has on the devotees of science.
The fact, too. that there is danger in
the quest does not enter into the ques-
ton. There have been martyrs to
science as well as to faiths. and there
always will be.
Old men who are familiar with yellow
fever wonder at the sensation created
by its appearance this year, when the
epidemic Is comparatively mild and
confined to small area.
The explanation is that people have

Pas Effective Prayers.

One hard winter, when sickness came
to the poorly paid pastor of a certain
New England church, his flock determ-

pastors family. While one of the dea-

- The Armor-PIate Factory.

The American Manufacturer published
in Pittsburg, claims to possess the inner
consciousness of the members of the
armor factory board. It claims that
they have acquired the knowledge that
a plant would cost 100000, and that
such a plant would not turn out over
5000 tons year of armor-about enough
for two battleships. The Manufacturer
also claims to know that the board, or
a portion of 1T, thinks armor made in
such a plant would cost 500 or $500 a
ton. Whereupon the Manufacturer
publishes an opinion that an armor
plant will never be built.
The chances largely are that the ar
NOR board has kept its own counsels,
and that it's findings and the reasons
for them will be laid before Secretary
Long and congress before they are i'm
parted to the esteemed organ of Pitts
burg iron interests. If a plant would
cost four millions of dollars in Pittsburg
or Chicago, 1t might not cost nearly SO
much in Birmingham or Chattanooga.
And it may be the Manufacturers fig
ures as to the cost of armor are Pitts
burgs figures. Alabama may have diff
ferent figures to offer.
The Manufacturer is singularly solicit
Gus as to the effect upon the treasury.
While it bewails the building of a plant
that may cost four millions, it does not
hesitate to advocate the building of a
ship canal of 15-foot depth from Lake
Erie to Pittsburg, at an estimated cost
of s3S, O0O The bin pending in con-
gress makes the proposed canal prac-
tically government work. If money
government, there is no need OF she'd
ding many tears over the cost of an
armor plant.
The truth is, the armor factory board
and when it's report is made and pub
lished, we will know whether or no the
price demanded by the Carnegie-Bethle-
hem people be easonable-whether, If
IedSOldDIe iOW, II liitby hot SUM ScooS
to be reasonable. The attempt of the
Manufacturer to forestall the work of
the board-to publish its findings before
there are any findings-will scarcely be
considered conclusive by any one en-
gagged in the iron industry. Birming ham
and the southern iron field will submit
their case to the members of the board
in the full belief that their minds are
in a receptive condition, and will remain
so up to the last hour of the investiga-
ton. And we shall not try to ascertain
their conclusions from any incident or
casual remark, preferring to await their
official report, when all may see what
their fund of observation and informa-
ton leads them to advise the govern
ment to do.
