a 500-mile automobile trip made in the
senior Bettys' automobile phaeton among
the hills and valleys of Seneca county.
They left here three weeks ago last Mon

there knows how high the hills are
The automobile travellers, however. drew
up at the residence of Prof Horace Law
renee, in Farmer in time for dinner on
the road but seven hours. and travelling the
distance at the rate of twelve miles an

The trip of Bettys and Wood demon

horseless carriage that have been disputed
among local fanciers of the automobile
Raymond NJ. Bettys. who ran the carriage
on the trip, is only seventeen years old
and is not mechanic in any sense of the
word. He was just out of the High Schoo
when he started on the trip. However, ht

Philadelphia, July 15.-Although there
CT the Senator from this State, would do
anything personally to have Major Bing-
ham, the present quartermaster of the
Schuyllill Arsenal, removed, ii is asserted
that the advisers of his father are doing
all in their power to bring that about.
Yesterday the women who work for the
Government at the arsenal were levied up
on TO pay ostensibly for the expenses OF
the lawyer to go TO Washington FOR
what purpose the advice of a lawyer is
needed could not be learned. The woman
who was doing the collecting was Kate
Dougherty. who. il is said several months

litical influence TO bring to bear that
would make him change his tactics. He
had. il is stated, objected to the alleged
violations of the rules that had been
practiced by her.
Miss Dougherty was collecting money
from the sorkingwomen as they went
into the Arsenal. She stood outside the
gate and as each one came up asked her
TO contribute While she was. disengaged
in her industry she consented 10 be inter-

Lively Experience of Young Man
With Thieves I'm New York.
New York, July 1.-Two burglars gave
young Herman Brunswick Ripper a very
lively half-hour early yesterday in the
house West Fifteenth Street, which he
was supposed to be looking after in the
absence of his grandfather. Levi L. Brown,
President of the Windsor Paper Manufac-
turing Company at North Adams, Mass,
who owns the house. Ripper, who is sew
enteen years old, sleeps in the second
floor front room. About $3.50 o'clock he
was awakened by a noise on the stairs,
and sat up in bed to listen better. Con-
fused as he was by the sudden rousing
from a sound sleep, he had no chance to
defend himself when two men. one appar-
emily white and one negro. entered the
ROOM The next moment they had thrown
him upon his back and were holding re-
yolvers at his head. The negro stood
guard over him while the other burglar
ransacked the room, going through Kip
pers clothes, in which he found watch
and chain and some money. The negro
went into the rear room occupied by MI.
and Mrs. Brown when home, and went
through the drawers there.
When the thieves had completed their
investigation they threw their captive into
q closet, piled the bedclothes in after him.
and shut and locked the door. As soon
as he heard their departing footsteps Kip
per counted fifty to give them time to get
out of the house. them setting his shoulder
to the door and his feet to the wall he
quickly burst the lock. In three steps he
was at the open window and put his head
out. "Thieves," "Police," he shouted.

NEW YORK scULPToRs ANGRY
A Washington Mans Design for the
Vance Statue Accented.

New York, July 1.-Two months ago
when the people of North Carolina decided
10 erect statue of the late Senator Vance,
Joseph G. Brown, of Raleigh, who was in
charge of a fund of ss5, ,000 contributed
for the monument, came to this city and
invited six well-known sculptors to COM
pete for the work. These six sculptors are
now highly indignant because they have
just received notice that a model sent in
by Mr.. Ellicott, a sculptor, of Washington,
has been accepted. They say that il was
expressly stipulated by Mr.. Brown that the
competition was to be limited to them and
that no one else was to have chance un-
less ali six failed to produce a satisfactory
design. Two of the sculptors who have al
ready written letters Of protest to Mr..
Brown are w. Granville Hastings, of liza
West Eighteenth Street, and Philippe
Marteny, of so Washington Square east.
Mr.. Marteny said tonight:
I'VE were given to understand that the
contest was limited to US. No mention OF
any other sculptor was made. We made
our sketches and models. and they were
sent to Mr.. Brown at Raleigh on July 6.
Each one of us got letter on Wednesday
last praising our designs, but stating that
the one made by Mr. Ellicott, of Washing
ton, had been accepted. Ali our work has
gone for nothing and the eerize has fallen

for myself that / was fool to enter such

and so do the five other sculptors. who,
like myself, believed that they were en-
gagged in an honest and limited competi-
tion, not on the pull We are able 10 exert.
We are going to call meeting soon and
discuss the matter. In the mean time Mr..

DIAMONDS GROWING DEARER.
The Output of the South African
Mines Gradually Decreasing.

New York, July 15.-The English syndi-
cate controlling the rich diamond mines OF
South Africa, a few days ago, declared
half years dividend of 20 per cent, and to-
day il will make another advance in
the price of diamonds Of per cent. This
Will make an advance of one fourth in the
past few months, and a diamond which
sold last fall for Sl00 will sell today for
SIPS The young man saving money 10
buy solitaire ring had better make his
purchase right away, for further advances
are coming. Diamonds have been going
up ever since the syndicate got hold of the
South African mines, and the syndicate is
going right on declaring big dividends and
advancing prices.
The American demand fer diamonds and
precious stones has grown remarkably in
the last few years. Ii is one sign of fat
pocketbooks. In the year just closed the
imports OF diamonds and precious stones
al the port Of New York reached the enor
nous figure of $40. .000. 900. In the calendar
year 1896 the imports were 81, ,535, ,oU0 in
1897 they were s7,670,000, while last year
the total was s13. .03l 900. Anticipating the
advance in the prices of diamonds, Ameri-
can importers have been making large
purchases. The imports last month OF dla-
monds and precious stones were 81, 100, 900,
three times as large as in June, 1895, and
ever twenty-five times as large as the i'm
ports two years ago. Over 81 500 900 worth
of uncut stones were received al this port
last month, more than 81, ,000, 600 over June.
1898.
Stories come across from London that
the De Beers consolidated mines are not
producing as many diamonds as formerly,
and that the output of these South African
mines will steadily decrease. So far eX-
perts have been unable to locate mines
in other parts of the world, and ii now ap-
pears that the growing demand must be
met by the decreasing South African out
put. The English syndicate controlling
the De Beers mines says that il must pro-
tect itself against a future scarcity by
raising prices. II now places on the mar
ket a limited quantity-s4, 600 600 worth
year. As this syndicate controls
the diamond output it rules the
market. The syndicate's net profit in
the fiscal year just closed was 2.l34, 600
out of which the forty per cent dividend
took only G ,5S2 pounds. The syndi-
cate may be expected to make advances in
August and September, and the diamond
merchants down town say that diamonds
are better investment now than Govern
ment bonds.

THE VILLAGE STORE.
Big Department Affairs Crowdins 1t
Out of Existence.

(From the New York SUM-
The department stores have put an end
practically in every small town within a
radius of fifty miles of New York to that
time-honored Institution, the village store
In all cases the New York establishments
have not accomplished this work unaided
What field the city stores left to The vii
lage shopkeeper who provided everything
from pins to piows has been usurped by
the department stores in the larger towns
near by. Every town of 20, 900 inhabitants
now has its department store, conducted
on the same principles that prevail in
the large New York houses.
Long Island and New Jersey have been
affected most. Village stores are nearly as
rare IN Connecticut In many villages
the old landmark formed by the village
store survives only through the assistance
of the Government. II the storekeeper Is
also postmaster he can afford to subsist
on the small profits that the sales of calico
sugar, and seeds may bring him in year,
A familiar experience in many of the
small villages has been the disappearance
of the store along with the expiration OF
the postmaster's term. One specific in
stance was seen in a Long Island village
of about 800 inhabitants. From them and
the neighboring country the owner Of the
village store made, fifteen years ago, an
annual profit of about $4,000. The town is
two hours distant from New York Now
the yearly profits are less than $500, and
the store will go out of existence unless
its proprietor is reappointed postmaster
Like other stores in villages of the same
kind. 1t remains the forum OF the town
even In It's decline But the disappearance
OF the stores has had tendency to shift
that centre. The local inn, supported by
the bicyclists, and the drug store. which Is
prospering in the small towns as never
before. seem likely to take even thai
glory from the last days of the village

A LOST STEAMER FOUND.
Drffted Fifty Days Between Au'
traIia and New Zealand.

traIia and New Zealand.
Victoria, B. c., July 15.-The final chap
ter in a fantastic story Of the sea was COM
pIeted just before the steamer Aorangi left
Sydney, when the steamer Perthshire en-
tered Port Jackson in tow of the Talume.
For fifty days this great vessel had been
tossing on the seas between Australia and
New Zealand, all but completely helpless,
in the regular course of traffic for the most
part, yet strangely missing everything.
She had some sixty souls aboard, con-
siderable cargo, and her own value was
more than 100000 She had indeed be-
come Flying Dutchman, sighted here and
there by passing vessels and then lost.
Tugs and intercolonial vessels went in
search of her, but without success. The
aid of the royal navy was invoked and
one of Her Majesty's ships was detailed for
the search.
Finally came the news that the long-lcst
Perthshire had again been fallen in with,
and her whereabouts having been given to
the French ship La Pereuseit, 1t became
race between that ship and the New .Zea-
lander Taiume as to which should first
reach the disabled craft. Victory was with
the New Zealander.
