From the Chicago Chronicle
The Diamond club of London is the
most exclusive, richest and, in some re-
spects. the oldest club in the world.
It's members are such of the great dia-
mond dealers of London as can quality.
Each candidate for admission is ex-
amined by committee, which inquiries
minutely into his past.
The club is primarily an eating place
and place for business. The members
meet daily at the luncheon hour In the
dingy little cafe in Hatton Garden, oc-
cupying private room. Although
these dealers in diamonds do not care
for dress, they do care great deai
for good dinners Their l O'Clock re.
past is famous for it's excellence. II
is said to be the finest in the Worlo.
The doors of the club house are
opened at 10 a. m. and the place is de-
serted before p. m, about the time
when the West End club men are be
ginning their day One of the features
of this curious club is the displaying of
diamonds by its members. Often bags
full of rare gems of exceeding size and
luster are emptied onto the diningroom
tables for inspection, and numbers of
them are passed around the room and
handled by as many men as wish to
look them over The owner has no
fear, for he confldes implicitly in any
man whose character is good enough
to allow him to become member

A NARROW ESCAPE.
The Big River Steamer, j. X. Speed,
Stuck in the Dam.

Stuck in the Dam.
Louisville, KY, April 9.-The big
stern wheel steamer, John X. Speed,
owned by the Cincinnati & New Or
leans Packet company, became unman-
ageable this afternoon, owing to a
treacherous current and the high wind
prevailing, and struck the dam. The
vessel careened, almost topping over,
but righted up again and soon settled
down to rock bottom. The water rush
ed into her hold through a large jag
ged hole aft of her boilers. A 16-inch
pine derrick pole supporting Che stag
ing broke in two, and the staging went
overheard with a crash. 1t was a mir
acle that several of the crew were not
killed or injured AS it was, not a
soul of the 100 aboard were hurt in the
least, some not even getting their feet
wet The life savers responded with
the greatest alacrity with all their life
boats and were beside the ill-starred
vessel almost instantly. With two
crews ferrying from the boat to the
shore all the passengers were soon
brought to terra firma and the men,
bers of the deck and cabin crew were
carried over
The Speed was on her way to New
Orleans and carried 405 tons of miscel-
laneous freight. 1t is thought that at
least fhree-fourths of the Speeds value
will be saved, while the actual loss on
the cargo will not be more than $1,000
The Speed is valued at about $25.000
She lies upon the rocks with the water
over her main deck amidships.
