IN THE DIAMOND FIELDS.

| Kimberley proper is built around a
 hole big enough to hold the entire white population of South Africa This is the
 excavation above the Kimberley mine,
 made when diamonds were mined from
 the surface. Nowadays shafts are sunk
 and levels formed, whence the blue
 ground Is blasted out and hauled to. the
 surface in elevators. The diamond is different from other precious stones in
 that it is found Is soft clay, while the
 amethyst, ruby, emerald are embedded
 in quartz. This makes the diamond easy to conceal In the mouth, nose, and
 by swallowing, and every year the De
 Beers Company gets from the workmen
 S2,0000OO worth of stolen goods The in-
 clination to pilfer these precious stones is so intense that the crime is severely punished. Tn South Africa the com- mandment is Thou shalt not steal dia- monds.' What rape is to Georgia is I. D.

In Kimberley 1000 negro convicts sort the diamonds under the muzzle of Martini rifles. They are kept in a separate place. The other black boys live in a flve-acre enclosure known as the 'compound.'
 "The De Beers Company controls the diamond market of the world. Of the five mines, Kimberley, De Beers, Du Forts Pan, Bullfontein, and Premier, the first two are situated in Kimberley, and are the only ones worked now.

For three dollars the day one can get comfortable room and a good bourgeois table. Huge houses for furnished apartments are going up all over Paris. They are erected and managed by responsible companies, solely for housing visitors to the great show. At any of them you arrange for room and board at rate of about $25 the week, and this 1t is to be borne in mind, includes admissions to the exposition, guides and everything else that the wayfarer needs. Of course one is herded in with a lot of people one doesn't know, but for the stranger, anyway, there is safety in a crowd.

SEEING THE PARIS EXPOSITION.
How the Cost May be Kept Down by

How the Cost May be Kept Down by the Economically Inclined Tourist. Somehow or other the best part of life
 is sadly complicated with paying bills
 There are amiable, philosophical per-
 sons who will tell you that the cheapest
 pleasures are the best. They have pret-
 ty anecdotes of the cheap trips they
 have taken-the wonderful Journeys
 they have made in Europe on five francs
 day. They point out to you, Robert
 Louis Stevenson, wayfaring over the
 white roads of France, mounted on an
 economical donkey. And 1t all seems very feasible until you try it. Then you discover that somehow or other this is an evil age for the gypsy, despite the books.
 It costs money to see things worth seeing. Now when you come to Paris for the great exposition of 1900, you may as well put aside all ideas of doing it cheaply. You may figure it all out from some spacious prospectus--travel- ing so much, hotel 50 much, extras so much, and when you add up all your bills you will find what the snge-taxers call an unearned increment. You won't know where it came from nor how 1t got there, but there it will be staring you out of countenance.
 In the first place, prices in Paris. which are always high enough, assure you, have already begun to spin up. The sood ministers who rule Trance got to gether the other day and voted them selves an additional million francs of salary--because living will be so much dearer than next year. But what of us, who are not good ministers, and who see ourselves menaced by the rise in price of beefsteaks?
 I shall try to give an idea of how you may see the exposition-and Paris with more or less comfort and with greater or less expediture, as you please.
 The young man who is gypsily inclin- ad who has his wits about him, who speaks French, and who is not a snob, may do very well with a few dollars. | He will travel without much luggage l l bag or two--and when he reaches i Paris he will live up to his luggage. 1

 WHY SMITH LEFT HOME"
Delightful Presentation at the Fly.
 perion Last Night.

perion Last Night.
 George H. Broadhurst's successful farce Why Smith Left Home" was presented at the Hyperion theater and will be given again tonight The piece has made considerable fame for MT. Broadhurst in England, where 1t had long run. Its career in New York was less protracted than in Lon don and 1t is rather difficult to under stand because 1t certainly Is distinct ly humorous production. The company which was seen at the Hyperion last night was practically the same which presented it in London It is headed by Mrs. Annie Yeamans and Milton Ar buckle, who won conspicuous favor in London. Mrs. Yeamans, who made herself famous in the years of Harri- gan's prosperous vogue has not been seen to such advantage since that gold en age Her brogue is as delicious as ever and her acting fs as broadly comic as in former years. Milton Arbuckle plays a rather conventional role with a natural humor and spontaneity that contribute greatly to the pleasure of the performance. The farce is good in itself. It is pleasant to think that farce can be at once funny and reason ably free from suggestion. Only req sonable, because it is not altogether without taint, but refreshingly clean in comparison with many pieces of French origin, which are counterbal- anced nowadays. Broadhurst has 8 fine feeling for climax and the compli- cations develope with increasing mer- riment until the final curtain. The burlesque treatment of the "cook-lady'' question is very droll and Mrs. Yea mans parody of a curtain queen of certain danes is delightful. Tn fact the acting throughout was of dis tinctly superior quality and places the production on high plane.
 The piece will be repeated this af- ternoon and tonight, and can be recommended to those who en- joy hearty laugh.

 Count von Beulow's speech, which occupied about a quarter of an hour, was delivered with his usual felicity of expressive, telling elocution and calm, digntfied bearing. Every sentence had evidently been carefully worded and weighed. The entire assembly listened with the closest attention and frequent ly applauded.
 General von Podbielski spoke in a more passionate strain, especially when referring to the action of the British authorities in opening and holding back Government mail. The imperial post master general gave instances of mail matter that had been two months un- der way. V.
