KIMBERLEY FALLS.
Richest Diamond Fields of the w orld
Will be Captured.
Correspondence N. Y. Commercial.

Correspondence n. Y. Commercial.
LONDON, Nov, 4.-The report of
the siege of Kimberley by the Beers
suggests the thought that, should the
British garrison fail to hold its own
against the enemy, the Africanders
might, on taking possession, have a
haul so rich as never army won be-
fore.
Nobody knows just how much value
in the shape Of diamonds is kept in
store at Kimberley, but it is certainly
gigantic. Quite possibly it is G20,-
600, 900 worth.
The yield of the mines is, in times
of peace, about 5, 900 carats every "a
hours, and the diamonds obtained
from the diggings are sent daily,
under armed escort, to the company's
headquarters and there delivered to
the appraisers in charge. First they
are cleaned by boiling them in mix
ture of nitric aud sulphuric acids,
and then they are carefully sorted in
respect to size. color and purity. In
one room are kept on exhibition stones
aggregating 1000 carats, and the
spectacle they afford is most striking
Only dozen years ago the Kimber-
ley mines were worked as more than
3, 900 separate claims, each 81 feet
square and separated from one another
by narrow roads for hauling the gem
bearing earth. In 1893, however, Mr..
Cecil Rhodes brought about CONSOLE
dation of all these properties into a
single corporation, which now prac-
tically monopolizes the diamond pro-
duction of the world, with capital

A SPLENDID PLAY
Will be "a Contented Woman''-Here
ON the 18th.

The Baltimore Herald says of it,:
Miss Belle Archer, in Hoyts "a Con-
tented Woman, appeared at the Au-
ditorium Music Hall yesterday TO two
large and well-pleased audiences. "a
Contented Woman is one of Hoyt's
best farces, the dialogues being bright
and Witty and the situations extreme
ly funny. The foundation for the
piece is the ambition of few mis-
guided women to enter into politics,
which results finally in the female
woman suffragists giving up their
aspirations for office and returning to
their household duties, Miss Archer
as Grace Holme, a society lady with
such aspirations, is we'll suited TO the
character, and gave "a very finished
performance of well-educated, refin-
ed woman in role that was not suit
ed to her. She has splendid stage
presence, is easy and graceful and
dresses the part well.
During the performance Miss Archer
wore several handsome gowns, which
were greatly admired by the ladies'
W 1SS IICHllcbud Lee de- MIS-. EDDSIIliLu
made decidedly good impression
She is tall, handsome and handles in
very delicate manner a character
that would appear broad and coarse in
other hands. Edward Craven as Phil
Boyles, barkeeper, has made a study
of what would appear an insignificant
part, and received liberal applause
for his splendid work. Others in the
cast who are deserving Of special men
tion are Arthur +. Buchanan, Charles
2. Morrison, Augusta de Forrest,
Miss Bonnie LATHE and John l..
Kearney. During the performance a
number OF very clever and refined
specialties were introduced, including
Miss Henrietta Lees versions of pop
ular coon songs in German and French,
tWe'll Love No More Tonight" coon
rag-time song, original by Edward
Craven; ELIZA Green from New Or
leans and "Kleptomania, by John
Kearney; Bonnie Lattie's ira la la
song and parodies on 1.-The Moth and
the Flame;" Because and "Just
One Girl by Charles p Morrison.

Call For Boycott.

To the Editor of the DAILY New DOMINO N.
The only way to cure the bad air
imposition in this town is to boycott
the places that furnish it.
When church, or theater, or any
public hall invites a congregation of
people and poisons and stupefies them
with bad air, the people so imposed
on ought to unite to boycott that place.
In this nineteenth century, in this
educational town, there ought to be
better sense, better manners, and a
higher idea OF decency than to COM
pei people to suck in poisoned at
mosphere for hours at time. :
Boycott seems to be the only cure.
Boycott is the word. ~

CURFEW LAW.
Council is Face to Face With a
New Law

MOrgant0un Citizens Want the streets
Kept Clear of Children at Night--Six.
teen Years IL to be the Limit Nine
O'clock in Summer aud Eight In
Water Is the Limit.
Council held its regular meeting on
Monday evening but the only thing
that came before it was a proposed
curfew ordinance submitted by a
great many of the citizens of Nor
gantown and outlying districts. 1t
is aimed at the running at large OF
small children at night and will re-
suit in many of them being kept off
the streets where they learn more
than IS good for them.
The ordinance was read and advance
ed TO the second reading. Ii requires
three meeting nights before it can be
passed unless there is a suspension OF
rules by unanimous consent. 1t is
not thought that it will be taken up
until the regular time comes around.
The ordinance provides that all
children under sixteen years of age
must get off the street at nine o'clock
from the first of April to the first of
October and at eight during the rest
of the year. The penalty for the first
offense after due warning has been
given is one dollar, for the second two
dollars and after that five dollars for
each offense.
Exception is made in the case OF
emergency when written statement
by parent or guardian dated on the
day on which the child Is found out
is to be taken by the police.
In case the present police force is
not sufficient the council is petitioned
to place more officers on the force in
order to see that the provisions of the
municipal law are carried out.
1t is further provided that curfew
bell be rung each evening fifteen min
utes before the time when the small
boy shall get off the earth.

MORE ABOUT IT.
Methods of the Robbers Given
in Detail.

Lett Their Victims Bound and tagged
at Cheat Hayen-Mrs. Conn Releases
Herself by Means of Her Teeth-Rob-
bers Thought to be from West Virgin
ia-N0 Arrests as Yet.
In telling about the robbery at
Cheat Haven the News Standard af-
ter relating how the robbers Sc
cured the money and how it was
continues the interesting story thus
They were not satisfied that this
was all the money in the house, and
one of them got razor and drew it
gently across Mr.. Conn's throat,
threatening what would be done if
he did not surrender the rest of the
money. The helpless victim sasa
they might kill him if they wanted
to, but that was all the money there
was in the house. Mr.. Conn saws
the razor was the coolest steel he
ever felt.
The Williams finally concluded
there was no more cash in the house
and after getting Mrs. Conn's we'd
ding ring, which she had cherished
for years, they departed, assuring
Mr.. Conn that they would be back
to see him again sometime
WHO WERE THE ROBBERS?
A little before daylight Mrs. Conn
succeeded by means of her teeth in
untieing the ropes and strings that
bound her, and then she Embossed
her husband, and going upstairs
they released young Bixler, the rob-
bers having carried him back up to
his bed before they left
The alarm was then sounded, the
neighbors began to arrive and soon
a great crowd had collected from the
neighborhood to hear Mr.. and Mrs.
Conn's recital of the terrible outrage
practiced on them. "Who were
they?' were the words that were in
the mouths of everybody. The vic
tins could give no clue to their
identity, The men were white,
young and rather small in size They
displayed knowledge Of tho Cow
family ana premises and knew Mr..
Conn had recently sold his coal.
But their faces were completely OBJ
scured by the masks and there was
no way of recognizing them. The
night was dark and raining and few
people were out travelling. Mr.. Conn
lives near the state line and the
probability is that the robbers came
across from the West Virginia side
and escaped back, all without being
seen by anybody but the Conn fam
lily; though some think the perpetra-
tors live on the Fayette county side.
No trace of them could be found in
the mud as they appeared or left the
house.
Mr. Conn is respected farmer of
Bunker Hill, is aged about 60 years,
and this diabolical outrage has
stirred the community to it's depths.
Shot guns and revolvers are being
FURNISHED up and it will not be
healthy for marauders to attempt
another feat of this kind hereabouts
very soon.

Ii takes big piece OF ice 90 make
an Old-fasRioned cocktail properly.
For years the barkeepers have been
content to break up Ice in irregular
shapes making pieces about as big as
a toy rubber ball which are dropped
into the soothing mixture. But Chi
cago bartenders have lately developed
taste in this little matter for ice
cut into perfect cubes about two
inches on a side so that every cock
tail gets just as much ice as every
other one Several large saloons
have gone a step further and have the
ice frozen to order in balls which fit
nicely into the glass.
Into one Of the latter class OF places
went young man few nights ago
and he was greatly interested in the
perfect balls Of ice he saw used as
they We're entirely new to him.
What are those he asked the
barkeeper
We'll, now, if you keep it quiet
don't mind telling you. said the bar
tender with wink at an odd custo-
mer These are made of glass We
keep them in the cracked ice here so
they get good and cold and then slip
them into cUtktans. OF course
there is great saving on ice, as these
balls do not melt and can be used over
and over"
The young man swallowed his drink
and the story with equal facility and
went away with his eyes bulging over
and ordered two old-fashioned cock
tails, He had been telling his friend
the glass story and when the ice
marbles were produced and dropped
into the glasses he nudged his part
