Party Will Make a Trip to

Butte Is entertaining to-day a very
OF Prince Albert. the crown prince OF
Belgium. who is making a tour of
America. The prince and his suite ar
rived at II O'Clock by special train over
the Great Northern from Havre. The
train was made up Of the car Aurelia.
President Hills car and a combination
chair n dining-room car. In this
train travels the distinguished Euro
pean n his party. composed of aide
de-camp to the prince, Colonel Jung
bluth: his physician. DIR. Melis. and
Minister ~Joostens. the representative
of the Belgian government at WASH
ington. Accompanying the party are
the assistant to President Hill, l.. w.
Hill, his Vol Superintendent F. e.
Ward OF the Montana Central, Samuel
Hill and Archibald Gray of the Great
Northern. The train was side tracked
In the Great Northern yards upon its
arrival and the party retired early to
be ready for a sightseeing trip
through the city this morning.
The prince declined to be interviewed
last night. and the only glimpse n
one got OF his royal parsonage was
when he stood on the platform of his
a for a moment to observe the wealth
er In contemplation Of a trip through
the city by lamplight. He abandoned
the idea. however. when he saw the
rain falling in torrents. His royal
highness is a man Of commanding APP
and OF hne physique. The occasion Of
his visit to America is to examine and
investigate American methods, partic-
uIarly those relating to commercial
pursuits and mechanical development.
The prince and all of his party speak
English fiuently.
The party went west over the Union
Pacific, n after seeing the lower coast
cities and Puget Sound. and paid a
visit to British Columbia to compare
the English Canada cities with those
on the American side of the line. Re-
turning. they took the Great Northern
at Seattle and came to Spokane, and
then to Great Falls. where they in
spected the Boston and Montana smelt-
ers. They were brought to Butte over
the Montana Central. affording the
prince a view of the Rocky mountains.
Belgium possesses a fine system of
railways, and the prince, who has con-
mechanical knowledge, makes
careful observations and comparisons.
His country has also coal and mineral
of considerable Importance,
and II is to compare mining methods
in this country wit hthose of his that
he has come to Montana. To the rail-
representatives accompanying him
he expressed the keenest interest in
copper mines.
This morning the party will be shown
one of the Anaconda mines and
this afternoon will &c to Anaconda to
the smelters of that city. They
expect to cave this evening for st.

DIAMONDS IN AMERICA.
New York Jeweler Estimates the Gems at
Over $500, 900 900.

From Godey's Magazine.
In no country are there more dia-
monds to be found than in the Unit
ed States, according to the population.
II is estimated by a leading Maiden
Lane, New York, diamond dealer that
there are upward of $500. 900. 900 worth
of diamonds in this country. More
over. this vast amount is increasing
year by year.
Until quite recently diamonds were
rarely cut I'm this country, but Amer
lean inventors have developed a pro-
cess for diamond cutting which is vast
ly superior to hat done abroad.
The loss in weight through cutting is
sometimes fully one-half. u the val
ne is increased probably more thar
twofold.
The Dutch city Of Amsterdam has
been the great diamond cutting center
Of the world from time immemorial.
and up to a few years & over IL. 900
people in that place were, directly or

But II vas not reasonable to suppose
that Amsterdam should continue to
hold a monopoly of diamond cutting.
As one of the greatest importing cities
of the world. New York gradually Of
fered inducements to diamond cutters,
and the industry has been gradually
built up here that is now fiourishing
and profitable. In 1858 Henry d. Morse
of Boston, Mass, invented a machine
for cutting and polishing diamonds.
and since then improvements have
been made upon IL that are very i'm
portant. The foreigners continue to
polish their stones by hand, but in
this country machinery rs largely used.
A famous gem expert places the total
value of all the mono in the world

monds are in the hands of private in

arises. who owns therh! This is not so
easily answered, except i'm the case of

In order To make artificial diamonds
IL was first necessary To- analyze genu-

In several Eastern cities there is Sc
rious talk among society leaders of
placing taboo on French millinery,

son for this boycott is the righteous
Indignation of American women be-
cause of the attitude assumed by
France regarding the Spanish-Ameri-
can war. If women generally take up
the idea it will mean a loss to France
of about $685. 00, 900 annually. indeed,
should all the table delicacies and
wines be included this figure would be
vastly increased. The movement has
not yet taken such form as would JUS

wv y s@s
tho Former.
In looking over a list OF American
concert singers II Is curious to note
that the number of tenors now at large
just exactly equals the combined num-
Der of the unrestrained baritones and
bassos. IL Is probably RI hat there
are just about two cultivated tenors
To each baritone or bass. There are.
similarly, about twice as many So
pranos as there are me~zzo-sopranos or
contraltos. and there are probably two
trained sopranos to every tenor.
The reasons for these ratios are prob
ably these: A higher voice. being the
more unusual, attracts to its owner
the more attention. 1t lends itself to
music Of a far greater range and bril-

that voice ought to lie confiscated. but
to the teacher II must go. The steps
from the first discovery to a career of
public veal or woe are easy.
The fact that more women than men
study song is doubtless to be account
ed for by the superstition that -four

creed keeps manv a man from devel-
