bought out the proprietors and turned 1t into limited liability company. It has progressed so rapidly that 1t has quite recently moved into new premises, which the president of the club, H. Bernhardt, was most courteous in show ing me over
 MT Bernhardt is the diamond mer- chant from whom most of our great actors and actresses buy their dia- monds, and it speaks well for him that when they have once been to him they never go anywhere else.
 Many of the members of the Dia- mond Merchants club are foreigners although many Englishmen are among the number. Dominos and cards are provided, but no game of cards is all lowed before four o'clock, and then only solo whist may be played, the slightest tendency to gamble being strictly pro- hbited.
 This is, perhaps, the only club that opens and shuts early, for very few others open at 10 in the morning and close at I at night. Perhaps the mem- bers consider it wiser to deposit their wares in some safer place than a pocket before nightfall; whatever the reason, the lights are out, the doors shut and everything is quiet when other mems clubs are just beginning to be alive London Express.

The managers of some of the local mines have placed several houses at the disposition of the medical officers ill charge, and a large hall has been set apart us reading room for the troops.
 Another dispatch has been received by the war office from Lord Roberts, as fol- lows;

THE DIAMOND CLUB.


 A Curious Organization in Londor
 Where Precious Stones Change
 Hands
 This is an age for clubs. Each pro fession, almost each calling, has its own particular club where members car meet one another or their friends, dine read the newspapers, transact business or play games of some sort The ma jority of the clubs are well known, if only by name, but very few have been heard of the Diamond Merchants club In Hatton Garden.
 The name speaks for itself. It is called the Diamond club-or, to give it its full name, the Diamond Merchants and Jewellers club, Limited-and the chief requisite for membership is that the newcomer should be concerned with or in the diamond trade. Hatton Gar den is busy thoroughfare, and seems to reek of diamonds, so to speak. The principal room of the Diamond club has half glass roof which lets in a glare of light on the transactions which take place In this room may be seen more millionaires at one time than in any other spot in the world Another room is cunningly darkened so as to give re- lief to tired eyes.
 One member may be reading news paper when another comes over and tells him he wants few diamonds ex- plaining the kind, etc The first man will immediately give him two or three little paper packets to inspect, naming the price, and the second man will take them over to the window, while the first will calmly continue reading his paper
 The first man is probably a broker who has obtained the diamonds from a merchant and he has a certain price from which he cannot abate. If the purchaser considers the price fair and the stones good he will suggest that they go into one of the little partitions or cubicles which are set apart for this purpose. These little divisions face the light-for it is absolutely necessary to have bright light very little business being done on a dull day-arc fitted up with shelf and a pair of scales, and when the small bolt Is slipped on the door the buyer and seller are free from any Interruption
 The scales are in a glass case, for the slightest bit of dust would affect the delicate mechanism, a single hair mak- ing difference in the working of this wonderful contrivance. The largest weights are made of metal but the oth- CTS from kind of tinsel, so light that a breath will blow them away. Some idea, may be gathered of their minute ness when one realizes that the small est one only weighed the sixty-fourth part of a carat For the purpose of showing up the beauties of the stones they are laid on different colored pa pers-blue for pearls, black for opals etc.
 The club was originally started by two men who had at last realized that it was not safe to hold these business in a public house which had hitherto been the custom. It was such a success that the members soon

JOHN KELLY LOST ALL HE HAD.
He Had Saved s115 to Pay for Care of
 His Invalid Wife

He Had Saved s115 to Pay for Care of
 His Invalid Wife.
 A loss of $115 is big loss when it is all the money a man has and that is ex- actly the situation of John Kelly of Worcester, Mass. who lost that amount at Savin Rock yesterday Kelly had been until recently employed as Q coacbman by William Brannigan of Worcester. His wife has been in very poor health for some time and her phy- eician advised MT, Kelly that the only way to save her life was to take her to the shore for a change of air. Kelly accordingly resigned his position in Worcester and taking all the money which he had brought his wife to New Haven. They arrived here last Friday and secured lodgings with Mrs. A. r. Walter at No. 147 Meadow street.
 Yesterday Kelly. thinking that it would benefit his wife took her to Savin Rock
 At the Rock he purchased some fruit and after he had paid for 1t he placed the pocketbook containing his money S115 and some odd cents, in the bag of fruit and he and his wife walked into the park to hear the music While they sat in the park the shower of yes terday afternoon came up and they started to hurry for shelter. On the way across the park the bag contining the fruit and the pocketbook having be- come wet, burst, allowing the con- tents to fall to the walk. IL vas rain ing and MT. Kelly hastily picked up the fruit, forgetting about the pockethook and money. He then hurried on to shel- ter with his wife. After the shower he discovered that his pocketbook and money were gone and went back to the park to look for it. His search was un- successful, someone having evidently found it. MT Kelly called at police headquarters last night much distress ed and reported his loss It was all the money he had and with it he had ex- pected to pay the expenses of his wlfe's remaining near the shore for the benefit of her health.
 The money was in a black pocketbook with brass buckle. The finder will receive the heartfelt gratitude of the unlucky loser as well as substantial reward if he will return the money.

COLONEL PETT1r's AcoU1TrAL.

Washington, July 1.-The following cable dispatch has been received at the War de- partment from General MocArthur, at Ma nla, dated today
 Colonel James s. Petit, 31st United States Volunteer Infantry, acquitted by general court martial.
 Colonel Petit was tried on charge of having turned over q native prisoner to dato ln Mindanao, who cruelty executed the man. The court martial was founded on a charge that Colonel Pettit's conduct was unsoldierly, and tended to bring the American arms into contempt. It was at one time reported that Webb Hayes, lieu tenant colonel of the same regiment, had resigned his commission because of dissat- isfaction with Colonel Pettlts conduct ill this affair. On his arrival in this country, however, Lieutenant Colonel Hayes contra dicted this statement, and made strong defense of Colonel Pettltts course The verdict of the court martial has the unqual flied approval of the War department off cials and of Colonel Pettltt's brother oii- Cers here.
