c,1sed each other of the theft Some
said 1t was the royalists, and some said
1t was the republicans. However tha1
may be the thieves were certainly
Frenchmen, for few days afterWaio
the secretary of the Garde Mobile got
a note to say that he had only to hunt
In a spot carefully described IN the
Champs Elysees to find the big di:fc
mond. A search was made, and sure
enough. there was the diamond as
bright as ever. The thief could not
bring himself to rob France or the
| prize gem which placed her first OF all
the nations of Europe in the matter OF
diamonds. Even the thief was patri-
ottc. Old st. Simon was right. The
people took the big diamond into ITS
very heart. Napoleon pawned the stone
and got in that way money for his first
campaigns. The diamond may thus
have been the beginning of his for
tunes. and who shall say how many
lives that cost?
Now does anyone want to see this
big diamond? Let him &C. into the long
| gallery of the Louvre, and there he
will see a glass case surrounded by
| brass railing, inside of which stands
an armed guard. In the middle of the
/ case is a twinkling stone looking for all

the skies and lodged there, so bright
so beautiful;@ SO flashing, is this -poini

ate his IeSG1mOny.
From the Republican, Santa Rosa. Cal.
Here is a true story from California:
Some three years ago, James a. Falk-
ner, of Santa Rosa, while prospecting,
discovered a quicksilver mine, and
while preparing to WORK it, was alone
on his ranch, far from any one. 1t
was there he was attacked by pneu-
monia, and when found five days after
and carried to his home he was ap-
parently dying. He did not die, how
ever, but for over year was in daily
expectancy of death from what was pro-
nounced by nearly all the physicians as
consumption.
At the end of about one year Mr..
Falkner heard that DIR. Williams Pink
Pills were sometimes efficacious in such
maladies as his, and procured some.
The result was astounding, for before
three. boxes Of pills had been taken,
the man who had been given over, and
could not walk without assistance,
when he began their use, was working
at his trade, and has ever since been
hale and hearty man.
These facts are vouched for by such
!
men as Sheriff Allen, Mr.. G. L. Ma.
bley, the city clerk of Santa Rosa. Mr..
Perry Fits, the well-known lumber
dealer, and many others, and are made
the subject of quite an extended article
! in the Santa Rosa Republican by Mr.
Virgil Moore, the well-known CORE
i spondent, who resides near Mr.. Falk.

I.circum stances.
DIR. Williams Pink. Pills contain al
] the elements necessary to give new hf'
and richness to the blood and restore
shattered nerves. They are sold IL
boxes (never in loose form, by tn
dozen or hundred) at SO cents box, o
six boxes for So. so, and may be had o

Not Captain Kidd.s Treasure.

A quantity of gold and silver coin was
discovered the other day at Casino
Beach, Astoria, L. l., by workmen en-
gagged in making excavations for some
new buildings. The coins were found
at depth of forty feet and ranged in
date from 1861, the time of Napoleon
III. At first they were supposed to be
part of the treasure generally believed
to have been buried by the pirate,
Kidd. but the presence of coin OF
Napoleon III spoils good story.

NEW GARNISHMENT LAW.
1t Is Attracting Much Attention from
Labor Unions.

The new garnishment law passed by the
last Legislature is attracting considerable
attention from the labor organizations over
the State. 1t is claimed by many that the
law as it now stands on the statute books
is unfair and likely to work injury in many
cases where it may be enforced. The law
was known as Senate bill No. 300, and was
introduced by Senator Gostlin, of Ham
mond. The law provides that proceedings
in garnishment may be brought against an
employe of any person or corporation and
his wages in excess of $25 seized. The re-
ceipts of theatrical companies may be taken
through garnishee proceedings without a
writ of attachment having been issued. The
text of the law reads as follows:
In all personal actions arising upon
contract, express or implied, or upon a
~udSmen or decree of any court, if at the
time such action is commenced or at any
time afterward, whether a writ Of attach
men has been issued or not, the plaintiff
or any person in his behalf shall file with
the clerk an affidavit that he has good rea-
son TO believe, and does believe, that any
person, naming him, has property of the
~usIendant OF any description in his posses
sion OF under his control; or that such per-
son is indebted to the defendant or has the
cohtroi or agency OF any property, moneys,
credits or effects; or that defendant has any
share or interest in the stock of any assoc
clatlCn or corporation, and shall file there
Win q written declaration, payable to the
~deIendant therein, with freehold security,
to be. approved by said clerk, conditioned
that he will prosecute his proceedings in
garnishnent to effect and will pay to the
defendant all damages he may sustain if
such proceedings shall be wrongful and
oppressive"
On the question Of exemption the law
says: The wages of all householders in
the employ of any person or corporation
shall be exempt from garnishment and pro-
ceedIngs supplemental to execution in the
hanuS OF such person or corporation so
long as such employee remains in such en-
pleyment, not exceeding SIS at any one
time, and no exemption shall be allowed as
against garnishment except as in this sec
ton provided"

A Riehmond Man Detained.

j. L. Thomas was arrested yesterday, >as
he was about to leave the city, on a charge
of being a fugitive from justice. He is
wanted at Richmond on the charge of en-
beZzlement. Thomas was a trusted en-

city until a month ago. when he went to
Richmond. His brother, the Terre Haute
agent OF the installment house, offered him
a good position. and he was on his way
there when arrested. He stopped here to
seee Frank Fuller, manager of the INSTALL
ment house. He says he borrowed SIG from
a man in Richmond, and thinks the man
has caused his arrest. Mr.. Fuller says
Thomas handled thousands OF dollars of his
money while in his employ for eighteen
months.
