only to carry it. 1t was not the size, but
the costliness of the buckle which counted
among royalties, and people Of high rank
at court wore diamonds, while even in
those days some wore paste limitations in
a vain effort to seem rich.

1.-THE contest then remains undetermin-

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.-That the nil

next Friday. The only federal troops

orders to proceed to Washington and II
Is expected that the movement will be-
gin ir a day or SO. Although their stay
in the national capital will be brief, not
extending beyond next Saturday at the
latest. 1t Is not at all reasonable to sup
