FACTS ABOUT THE TOPAZ.

mot the least beautiful of the many
semi pecious stones, for which there Is
always a large demand, is the tapaz,"
said wholesale dealer in gems to the
writer yesterday. "The name topaz
generally suggests only a yellow stone.
yet there are light blue, brown and
green varieties, which are frequently
sold as aquamarines. The genuine
aquamarine may, however, be easily,
distinguished from a topaz as the for
mer stone more closely resembles the
color Of green sea salt. Besides, the to-
paz admits of a higher polish, and Is
extremely slippery to the touch.
Strange to say the yellow topaz when
slightly heated becomes pink; heated
further. the pink grows paler, and by
long heating it is entirely expelled,
leaving the gem colorless. The sherryss
colored or brown topaz is bleached in I,
very short time by the rays of the sun
or strong daylight, and all the white to-
PAGES found In nature have been color
lied in this way. The topaz is found in
granite rocks in Siberia, Japan, Peru,
Ceylon. Brazil and Maine, and in vol
cane rocks in Colorado, Utah and New
Mexico. "--Washington Star.

A NEW HAVEN BOY IN PEKIN.
A Member of the Fourteenth United
States Regiment.

States regiment.
Councilman Frank Pauly, captain OF
the City Guards, has just received q
most interesting letter from his step
brother, Rudolph c. Reidel of this city,
who is now a member of the Four
teenth U. S. regiment in China. The
letter was written from Pekin where
the regiment is stationed or was at the
time the letter was written. In the let
ter Reidel states that when the allied
forces entered Pekin the soldiers of all
other nations except the United States
were allowed to loot, He says that the
| American officers would not allow their
soldiers to loot, but that notwithstand-
ing this the Americans did some loot
! ing.
He says that a few days after the
city was entered the American officers
caused a search to be made Of their
soldiers quarters and that 200 wagon
loads of loot was found and taken
away from the soldiers. The stuff taken
was chiefly silks, gold, silver, and such
valuables Mr.. Reidel is a New Ha
veneer and was formerly employed at
Schollhorn's and was a member of the
City Guards. He went into camp with
the First Connecticut regiment at the
outbreak of the Spanish war and after
that regiment was mustered out he en-
listed in the Fourteenth Z. s. He was
stationed in the Philippines until his
regiment was ordered to China. He
incloses in his letter a piece of poetry
which he wrote in Pekin and which de-
scribes the soldier life in that strange
city. The poetry is as follows:
A SOLDIERS THOUGHT.
Singing ballads, playing cards;
Eating sidemeat, running guards;
Marching. drilling, exercising,
Lying round philosophizing;
Digging bitches, learning tactics,
Standing guard until our back aches;
Doing laundry, picking trash up
Cleaning camp and dishing hash up;
Cooking pork and taking baths,
Eating bareback, cleaning paths,
Getting yellow as a flea,
Wondering when Wen meet a Chinee
Getting letters from the folks,
BOOKING, cracking jokes;
Thinking of the folks-if not them,
Then Of sweethearts-those that have
Them
Reading papers, reading books,
Fasting, grumbling, "cursing cooks"
Writing letters cleaning tanks up
In our trousers, sewing rents up
Stewing, growing, fretting, fussing,
Kicking, bowling, working, cussing;
Drilling like old time cadets,
pipes and cigarettes;
Telling stories, making wishes,
Splitting wood and washing Dishes
Turning in at sound of taps"
Spouting verse and shooting craps;
Wanting scrap with Chinese Boxers,
5wiping silks and smashing lockers:
Taking quinine. sick or WELL
Setting worse on such a pill;
out to see the dummies,
Calling one another "rummies;"
Getting up at o'clock,
Wanting fight or fighting talk;
Thinking we are not in clover,
Wondering when the warll be over.

Sanford Yesterday Noon.
The marriage of Miss Harriet Embler
second daughter of General and Mrs. A.
H. Embler, to Horace M. Sanford was
celebrated yesterday at high noon in St
johns 2, r. church. A large delega-
ton of friends and relatives gathered
at the church long before the hour set
for the marriage, and the scene as one
entered just a moment before the arri-
val of the wedding party was one long
to be remembered
The church, which on account of its
interior beauty lends itself readily to
floral decoration, was deliberately trim
med with palms, smiax and chrysan-
themums Ropings of smilax extended
along the ends of the pews and the
chancel was completely banked with
palms. Yellow chrysanthemums in
great profusion made striking and
pretty contrast to the solid green eff
feet.
While the guests were being seated
and during the service f. Fl. b. Fowler,
organist of the church, played pleas
ing programme Of music. The wedding
party entered as follows: First the four
ushers, sisters of the bride, Mrs. w. L.
Loomis, Miss Alice Embler Mrs y. S.
Thompson and Miss Tennie Embler;
then the flower girl, niece of the bride,
Miss Helen Embler, followed by the
maid of honor, Miss Esther Embler, an
other sister Of the bride, and the bride
on the arm of her father, General A. H.
Embler, who gave her in marriage The
bridegroom, accompanied by his best
man, Herbert N. Bishop, met the party
at the altar, where the ceremony was
performed by the Rev. Stewart Means,
pastor of the church.
Miss Embler chose as her wedding
day the anniversary of the wedding of
her sister. Mrs. w. L. LOomis. Mrs. !
Loomis wore pearl gray and lavender;
Mrs. f. S. Thompson, nee Miss Grace
Ember was attired in a gown of the
of truuoise blue, Miss Alice Embler also |
bearing this delicate shade Of gray,
with lace and delicate pink, and Miss
Tennie Embler in pearl gray, with lace
and orange trimmings. These artistic |
gowns were completed with black taf-
feta hats and chiffon. Veterans in the !
are of uSnerlng could hardly have /
euualled the success of General EN-
bler's charming daughters.
Following the church services a re-
ception to the immediate relatives and
a very few intimate friends, including
several out-of-town relatives, followed
At the brides home on Sylvan avenue.
Many beautiful gifts were received, in
Guiding some cut glass heirlooms from
he family of the late Governor Jewell,
lncle of the bride.
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. and Mrs.
Sanford left for a short wedding tour,
,fter which they will reside in Ottawa,
Canada Their leaving New Haven is
greatly regretted by their many friends
lere. The brides going-away gown
vas a gray walking suit, with hat to
match.
