the plaintiff. He AYERS that they ialied
20 give the proper signals 10 the engineer
in control Of the engine, and when ne gave
the signal TO SLOW up" the foreman Oh
The train failed to repeat the signal 70 the
engineer or to the brakeman, hence with
great force, suddenness and violence the
cars were allowed TO run against the pam
ksff. knocking him down and running over
him. He states that in this act ne was
greatly bruised and wounded in the leIt
leg. the homes being crushed and the hga-
ments and flesh of his left ankle, lett knee

JEWELS OF A QUEEN.
Fabulous Wealth of Diamonds Worn
by Madame Yale.

1t is not often that one sees such a
lavish display of beauty as that which
attends the lectures of Madame Yale
this season. To this beauty is added
the most lavish display of Jewels per-
haps that the world has ever seen.
Madame Yale's magnificent personal
ity and airy aestheticism which is in
terwoven with the subject of her pub
lie lectures permit of such a display
And surely never woman beheld such
a dazzling example of beauteous Wom-
anhood bedecked with beautiful gems
as that which bedazzles the eye when
this queen of beauty trips down before
the footlights. ablaze with diamonds
and rubies a thousand times rarer and
richer than those Of King Solomons
mine. Never naughty queen or prin-
cess of the blood wore such a magni-
ficent tiara as that which rises above
the golden glow of hor regal head. For
years has Madame slle been the pos
SCISSOR of rare and valuable gems, but
never before has the public been able
to see them. The ladies have gone
wild with delight and connoisseurs in
jewels are enraptured with the re-
markable beauty and purity. The
tiara in itself perhaps could not be
purchased for the revenue of a king
blue and white diamonds studded with
rubies, and makes a dazzling and eff
fulgent glittering mass. There are 27
pigeon blood rubies of the rarest quail
ity cleaning among diamonds of a
perfect cut and absolutely flawless. In
the front of the tiara there is a diam
ond marguerite of exquisite design.
It's centre is one of canary diamond
imported especially by Madame YALE
while just about surrounding the mar
guerite, there is fixed a splendid diam
ond crown, the spikes of which are Of
pigeon blood rubies. She wears an en-
erald of rare design and artistic cut,
which is famous, Every stone in her
collection is of the first water and alb
solutely flawless.
The stones in the collection are Sc
cured for Madame Yale by the import-
ing firm of Hyman, Burgh & Co. of Chi
cago.
No story of Aladdin's lamp could
conjure such splendors as this. Mad
anne Yale's coming engagement in this
city will allow the ladies to get a
glimpse of these remarkable jewels.

chief magistrate resides and entertains
his guests in a manner commensurate
with the dignity of his position. In the
smaller cities the mayor contents him
self with his own house, using the din
ing hall of the leading hotel for state
occasions.
When the mayor goes out in state on
notable occasions such as his Inaugural
ton, to take part in public demonstra-
ton or to accompany the city council
to church, the trappings and habili-
ments of his office fill the onlookers with
most becoming awe. He is clad in a
cloak of scarlet trimmed with sable
swalloW-tail coat, knee brooches, black
silk stockings, patent leather shoes,
silver buckles, on his head an imposing
cooked hat of beaver, and around his
shoulders his collar of gold.
His horses are the best pair the town
can afford, and their harness, silver
mounted, glisteas in the sun. The coach
man and footman of the state coach are
so grand in their livery and powdered
wigs that the small boy on the curb
stone is confused when the pageant goes
by, as to which is the lord mayor, the
gorgeous individual holding the reins
or the man with the red cloak in the
carriage. Standing behind on the coach

long black robes, bearing the insignia
of their respective offices
A prancing escort of mounted police,
sometimes of hussars or lancers, sur
rounds the carriage, which, as may be
imagined. makes an imposing picture
as it traverses the streets. Behind
come the carriages of the aldermen, in
their scarlet cloaks, and the council
men, in their robes of black, the city
clerk and other officials, also in their
carriages and wearing official cos
tunes.
The cavalcade arouses much enthu-
siasm as it progresses along the route,
if the occasion admits of enthusiasm,
and the aldermen and councilmen look
as dignified and impressive as a pro-
cession of emperor6, and, of course, feel
every bit as important.
Be he lord mayor or mayor, his
sphere of jurisdiction ina legislative
sense is very limited. Indeed, com
pared with the powers of the mayor
of an American city, a transatlantic
chief magistrate is a mere social fig
urehead. All the appointments and
removals of officials are done by the
city council, over whose deliberations
of course, the mayor has the privilege
of presiding. He signs whatever or
ders are passed by the council, whether
he approves of them or not, for he has
no veto. His remedy for the proven
ton of any wrong act to be done by
the councils order, lies in an appeal tc
the court of queens bench for an in
junction.
In the city of London, the lord mayor
is the ruler of a population not larger
than the city of Springfield while the
London county council administers the
affairs of what the world knows as
London, with its four millions and {
half of inhabitants.
Compared with the lord mayor Of
London, Robert A. Van Wyck is a po
tentate with power as terrible as the
