to arise. He has been assistant secretary
for more than two years and has brought

Root Will find in him a competent adviser, n
strong coadjutor and a loyal subordinate.
Such a combination of leadership, backed by
a well organized Office machinery, can hardly
fail to give satisfaction. Mr., Root enters
upon his new duties with an intellectual
equipment far above the ordinary and he
has waiting for him an assistant secretary

The departure from Omaha last week of
Rev. Alexander Gilchrist, pastor of the Cen
trail United Presbyterian church, caused
universal regret in church circles throughout
the city. DIR, Gilchrist has been pastor OF
Central United Presbyterian church for the
last four years and leaves 1t for a larger
field OF labor. Previous to his call to an
Omaha pastorate he was for thirteen years
stationed at Richmond, Ind, and his ac-
ceptance of the call to Omaha was made
against the protest of his congregation in
that city. He leaves Omaha to accept the
corresponding secretaryship OF the Board of
Home Missions for the United States, and his
headquarters will be located at Pittsburg.
DIR. Gilchrist lis still a young man and
has been a very successful pastor. When
rendered the position he now leaves the city

of Indian Princes

That India, after a foreign occupation Ct
some centuries, and in spite of the apparent
poverty of the great bulk of the people, is
still probSbly the greatest treasure house
on earth, relates the st. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat. is due to the fact that for ages it was,
with Ceylcn and Burmah, the field which
supplied the rest of the world not only with
gold. costly fabrics and spices. but with
which. however, were ever retained by the
Hindoo and Mogul princes for their own
personal a~dornment.
One of the jewel treasures Of the Indian
princes, that of the gashwar Of Baroda, is
perhaps the most remarkable, being ap-
praised by experts a few years ago at the
immense sum Of three hrors of rupees, or
SIS, 900, 900. Among his collection, his chief

contains the "Star Of the South a Brazil
ian stone weighing 254 carats, for which
$500, 900 was paid, the whole necklace being
valued at forty lacks Of rupees. or 81 200, 600.
The masterpiece in his possession. however,
is a wonderful shawl composed entirely of
inwrought pearls and other precious stones
worked in the most harmonious and artis-
tic arabasuue patterns. and which actually
cost the extraordinary price Of 1000, 900.
This shawl was intended as a present tn
ever the tomb of Mohammed, but when II
was finished the gashwar thought twice of
the idea and kept it himself. While it is
true that the native jewelers. as a rule care
less for the purity and commercial value OF
the stones than for the general effect pro-
duced, yet their artistic feeling and skill in
setting gems, often but poorly cut and pol
ished. cannot be surpassed. AS an evidence
Of this a comb of matchless workmanship
was presented to the prince of Wales bv the
raiah of Jaipur. Another present which tho
prince of Wales received on his visit to India
in 1875 was a sword from the maharaiah of
Kashmir. set with diamonds and emeralds
valued at $25, 900. in addition TO which there
was a solitaire diamond in the belt worth
$40 OOO.
Probably one of the most expensive hats
ever worn by any person apart from an
actual crown was that of Sir Jung Bahadur,
