TOO CLEVER FOR THE JgwELeR.
Swindled by Diamond Thieves While He
Closely Watched Thorn.

Joshua Chaplin. a jeweler of London.
Maiden lane, related this experience
with clever thieves, says the N. Y. Her
aid:
Long after l thought l knew all the
tricks of diamond thieves, / had an ex-
perience that taught me q lesson at tho
cost Of 8 1000 pounds.
IA gentlemanly appearing, plainly
attired man came into my shop one
morning and asked to see some solitaire
diamond rings. I waited on him, and
did 80 with great caution, yet tried to
avoid giving otfense. 1 placed before
him a tray containing forty rings. and
did not for u moment take my eyes
from his fingers. while he was examin-
ing them. . AS is customary, the tray
was filled, SO that q vacant place would
be readily noticed.
MY customer evidently knew the
merits of the stones. aud WAS able to Sc
lect the most valuable ones at sight. He
appeared to enjoy examining them. and
did SO In q deliberate manner that
aroused my suspicion, Finally, he ap.
peared to be undecided as to one Of
three rings and ended BY saying he
would cali the next day with his wife
and take one Of them. This action
made me the more suspicious, aud I
was careful to see that all the rings
were in their places before he left the
shop.
when he did leave I sent a clerk
after him, and we learned that he and
his wife were at one of the leading no.
tells. registered from New York.
"He returned with a woman tho next
afternoon. and the tray of rings was
put before them. They We're both very
deliberate, and examined every ring in
the tray; but l took care not to have
more than two spaces vacant Mt a time.
Finally, a ring. valued at 100 pounds,
was selected. and / was told TO mark it
and send it with the bill to their hotel.
l was about to suggest that l did not
like to mark the ring until it was paid
for, when the man handed me 10
pounds, which was more than enough
to indemnify me in case the ring was
not taken.
Il examined my tray very carefully
and found that it was full, with the ex-
ception of the space that had been oc-
cupied by the ring just sold. 1 felt re-
lieved, and congratulated myself on
having made a good sale. My Gus
toner gave instructions as to the mark
ing, and left the shop.
Il handed the ring to our engraver to
be marked and proceeded to make q
bill to send with it to my customer.
Soon the engraver came excitedly to
my desk.
..Do you know this ring is plated, and
the stone pastep' he asked.
Il was dazed for a second, and then l
saw it NIL. Hurried to the tray ,oi
rings and found every one of them hke
the n the engraver held. The man
had made an imitation Of each ring, and
deliberately substituted the bogus for
the genuine ones, and thus robbed ma
before my very eyes. / never saw the
thieves or the diamonds again"

Training an Army Horse

Leslle's Weekly: Every horse enlisted
In the army has to &c through a course of
instruction Just the same as every recruit.
1t is important that the horse as well az
the cavalryman shall understand his busi-
ness. HI animal is first given u lesson In
running round n central point, with a rope
tied to his neck. Balky or unruly, he sis
strapped and thrown to the ground. Later
he is taught the various galts. Is given q
course in trottfng and gallop!ng. Follow
ing this. he is given bending lessons. how
to passage right to left, how to turn on
fore feet. and 80 on. In the drill the move
ments Of the cavalry horse must be like
machinery. He must be like a circus
horse. understanding every command OF
his master. Another interesting feature
OF training a horse is to make him lie
down when commanded. In battle horses
works. When a horse viii lie down when
commanded the most difficult part OF the
training process Is over.

NN
Washington, Sept. GA statement
wa issued by the war department
last night that the Cuban commission
had effected an agreement with the
Spanish authorities whereby the
steamer Comal, carrying a cargo of
supplies for the suffering people of
Cuba, would be permitted to land
her cargo at Matanzas free of duty.
This indicates the adjustment of a
question that promised for several
days to become serious. The Spanish
authorities, maintaining Spain's right
Of sovereignty over the island of Cuba,
refused to permit the Comal to land
at Havana without the imposition up
IN her cargo of duties amounting to
100000. In addition to this the ves-
sells captain a fined for disregard
ing some port regulations unknown
to him. The incident resulted in an
exchange between the American COM
mission and the Spanish officials of
lively notes, and the question was
finally referred to Washington for adj
justment. The arrangement made af-
fects the Comal only. She is now at
Key West, and will sail for Matanzas
