Inspiration for more disillusioned for
tune seekers than can we'll be enumer-
ated.
Some OF the rainbow chasers who
have been vietimized by smooth
tengued De Rougemonts are men who
would laugh at Capt. Kidd's hidden
wealth. They have sought for more
tangible sources and have been in sight
of them-as the child fancies he is in
sight of the rainboW's end. Wildly they
have chased over the wet fields of the
world, only to see their ratnbows fad
ing away before their eyes.
Jacob LOrillard would not naturally
impress one as a rainbow chaser and
yet even he, hard-headed man of the
world as he is, has had the experience.

The stories have been widely quoted
and commented upon. In the Herald,
a few Sundays ago, appeared an article
dealing with this glib tongued adven-
turer, who might have stepped from the
pages of one of Robert Louis Steven
sons remarkable tales. He appeared In
London, penniless and unknown. But
he told a story wilder than the widest
flights of fiction. Sir George Newnes
listened. From listening he grew en-
thusiastic. He engaged De Rougemont
to write his story for one of his mag
aZines.
But that wasn't enough. The bar
onet's dreams were disturbed by visions
of fabulous MISUNDERSTANDING spoken

The situation at present is simply

think all their troubles will be over.

session of the executive committee Of the
Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of the
Methodist Church, pleasant surprise was in
store when Mrs. J. T. Gracey, of the New
York branch on behalf Of George P. Folts.
presented the society the fine Folts' mission
institute of Herkimer, N. Y. The institute is
a missionary training school. 1t has good
faculty, and it's business affairs managed
by a board Of directors. Mrs. Folts, who IS
dead, gave her life to missionary work, and
refused many luxuries In order to build the
institute. In accordance with her expressed
wish, the presentation of the institute to
the society was made by Mr.. Folts.
At the session this morning a poem wss
read from Miss Mary Reed, Cincinnati girl
who contracted leprosy at the mission at
Chandag Heights, India. She volunteered to
go as a missionary, and remained at the post
five years, when she came back on visit.
While at home she was taken i'll and went to
a hospital, where her disease was diagno-
sised as leprosy. Without intimating to her
relatives the nature Of her ailment. she
fastened back to her post, never to return.
She is incurable. but is doing a great deal of
good, and every year sends report to be
read at the meeting of the executive commit
tee. There was not O. dry eye in the house

MRS. WALLAcE's BLACK DIAMOND NECKLACE.

The only black diamond necklace known to
exist in this country or Europe is that owned
by Mrs. Cecil Wallace, Of the Auditorium,
Chicago Mrs. Wallace has been fifteen years
collecting them and has searched for the
perfect stones in every jewel market of the
world. They are found more often In 1he
diamond mines of South Africa and in fare
instances in South America.
The black diamond, as it's name signifies,
is as jetty as piece of coal, perfectly trans
parent and with all the luster and glisten
and brilliant rays of its white sister. 1t is
used as the mourning stone of the Russian
court The necklace is composed of fourteen
pendants, hung on q fine platinum chain.
Each one has a black diamond center, set
closely around with a of steel white
diamonds from the Jaeger mine, South At
RIGA.
The black stones in this larger pendant
and in the two to each side of it eight
karats each The rest a triae smaller.
Between each pendant, hanging like pierced
dewdrop, is a single white diamond, while
directly above the larger pendant is nine
karat white Indian diamond of unusual
beauty. For this single stone unset Mrs.
Wallace paid the net sum of $4,000
The necklace was worn for the first time
at the jubilee ball, it having been completed
but short time. 1t was set by a Chicago
house. 1t is almost impossible to estimate
the value of the necklace, no two stones
were bought at the same time and none of
them was set, but it is rudey estimated at
$65, GEO.

The question of damming the Nile for
irrigating purposes is an old one. 1t
has been discussed for several CEN
turtles. Since the English occupation
of Egypt the question has been debat-
ed with renewed interest, and within the
Fast three years a conclusion has not
Only been reached, but the plans for
building the dam have been completed,
and before the end of next month sew
eral hundred workmen will be on the
ground at work
The point selected is at the first cata-
ract, just above Assuan. 1t is a great
undertaking and when completed will
add greatly to the material resources
of Egypt. 1t will add one more to the
many blessings English control in
E8ypt has brought to the land of the
Pharaohs.
When the original plans were made
the building of the dam was opposed
both by the Egyptians and the various
archaeological societies of Europe, be-
cause the construction of the dam as
originally planned would cover the
world renowned ruins of Philae, just
above the cataract. The opposition of
the Egyptians was not because the
ruins possessed any historic value to
them, but for the reason that their de-.
struction would deprive them of an an
nual revenue obtained from visitors
from all parts Of the world. To archi-
tectS Philae has been a Mecca for many
years. The determined opposition from
all sides has led to a modification Of
the original plans. AS the dam is now
to be constructed the island will be
only slightly submerged for a short
time each year, and the ruins of the
once great temple of Isis will remain
intact.

ABOUT The WAR.

The American liner Paris, of
which many were in doubt as to
its safety, thinking it might have
fallen into the hands of the
Spaniards, arrived at New York
Saturday nnorning.
The American torpedo boat
Foote had an exchange of com
pliments with two small Spanish
gun boats off Cardenas. With
their usual tact to keep up a
show, the officials at Havana
sent the news to Madrid to the
effect 'that the fire Of the Ligera
was so we'll sustained that the
American was forced to retire. /"
The first great naval battle Of
the war was fought in the har-
Dor of Manila, yesterday morn
ing between the United States
Asiatic squadron, commanded
by Commodore George Dewey,
and the Spanish squadron under
command of Admiral Montejo.
Three of the Spanish war vessels
were sunk while others were SO
badly damaged as to be of no
use.
Commodore Dewey appeared
off the Bay of Manila late Sat-
urdav night and at 5 o'clock
yesterday morning engaged the
Spanish squadron that had been
awaiting the attack. The OPP
posing fleets were engaged for
several hours, when the Ameri-
can feet retired but a few hours
later renewed the attack driving
the Spanish feet into the inner
harbor. SO far as known no
American vessels were burned
or sunk.
The news of the battle was re-
ceived through Spain which goes
to show that the Triumph of
the American squadron was
complete. The Spanish cabinet
members claim they have met
with "a serious but honorable
loss" and none of the cableg-
grams from Manila are to Spain.
Presidedtnt Mckinley and the
members of the cabinet claim
that very decisive blow has
been struck at Spain.
