This dialogue has been heard at Lin
coin, Nebraska: wen win this year
or die" said an old man in the leader S
ear. "Oh, no." said Mr. Bryan smiling
ly; 1--WE won't die. If we don't win
this time, we will the next time"
Bryan is in fine health and is likely to
live many years, and as his hold on his
party is such that it does not seem able
to shake him off he will probably take
the nomination again and perhaps sew
eral times more. The Republicans will
be glad to have him perpetual candi-
date.

BRAZILS DIAMOND PRODUCT

The Mining of the Precious Stones an
Ebbing Industry.
While the diamonds mines at kim
berley have been producing about
dustry in Brazil, formerly the most
impairment diamond producing coun-
try IN the world, has fallen to low ebb.
II is now carried on only by individuals
or small associations working in a
crude manner. The yield was never
much over $1,0O0,O00 in any year, and
the product is now worth annually less
than 100000, and yet the uality of the
Brazil stones averages higher than that
of the Kimberley output.
The reason for the decline of the Bra
I'll industry is partly because it is car
ried on in shiftless sort of a way, but
mostly on account of the immense out
put of Kimberley, which has glutted the
market and practically crowded the
Brazil minesto the wall. Brazil gems
rarely leave thee country until they are
ready for the jewelers., for they are cut
either at Diamantina Gouvea or Rio de
while the Kimberley stones are
sent to the London market In March
every year, and are then distributed to
the diamond cutters of Holland and

nopoly of the carbonate or black dia-

PROC RESS,

To-day and tonight there will be
much cheering evidence that man has
advanced far enough in the scale of be-
ing to be able to indicate some of his
deepest emotions by outlandish ear
splitting and nerve-racking noise. The
progress that has been made can be dis
cerned from the fact that when Noah
came out of the ark he didn't celebrate
his release and his safety by such
noises as we use in celebrating the
Glorious Fourth In another five or six
thousand years perhaps our methods of
celebrating may be looked upon as
rather primitive But let us be thank
full that we have come to where we are
and let us not forget what we owe to
China for it's help in expressing our
patriotism.

FASHION NOTES,
Fewer Rainbow Combinations.

The many rrismatic collar combina-
tons that were INDUCED last winter
now begin to seem tawdry. New gowns
are now lined with silk to match or to
harmonize with the material of the
gown. The very elaborate petticoats
offered last season may be secured now
at bargain. A white petticoat, elab-
crate or not, as the occasion may war
rant, is the most exclusive wear. Col
ored lawn petticoats trimmed daintily
with lace edging are very pretty and
are almost as expensive as silk used to
be. White taffeta is the prettiest thing
possible. but elaborate, high colored pet
ticoats are no longer brought except for
special USE Then instead Of being made

GERDT1NY,S CANALS.

The German emperor is a man Of
ideas, and some of his ideas are good
for Germany The formal opening the
other day of the Elbe and Trave canal
connecting the North Sea and the Bal
tic is another step in his declared policy
of developing canal traffic. 1t is only
five years since the great Kaiser Will
helm ship canal, also connecting the
two seas, was completed at cost Of
nearly $4o,0o00o0. The new waterway,
chiefly intended for minor traffic, has
cost about $6,000,000. The length Of 1t
is nearly forty-one miles, and the route
followed is, on the whole, that of the
former Stecknitz canal, one of the oldest
waterways in Europe. Five years have
been spent in construction, and great
benefit is expected to accrue to the old
city of Lubbock from it's completion The
breadth Of it is 70 feet, the length of
the locks about 260 feet, and the depth
little over eight feet 1t is crossed by
80 bridges, Is feet above water level.
Other important waterways are contem-
plated, and doubtless will be construct
ed. The Rhine and Elbe canal is de-
signed to promote the industry of
Rhenish Prussia and Westphalia. A
Danube and Moldau canal is planned
with the view of attracting some af the
trade of Austria and Hungary north
wards through Germany. The Emperor,
insisted strongly upon the i'm
portance of the canal system, in the
interests Of German unity and German
commercial prosperity.

In the French lighthouse service the
Auer burner for lights Of several orders
is now extensively used and with con-
siderable success. The burner consumes
either oil-gas, or ordinary enriched
coal-gas with an incandescent mantle
and an intensity of 270 candles In
highly concentrated area is secured
The oil-gas is manufactured by means
of small apparatus installed In the
lighthouse, and it is hoped that further
improvements in the manufacture of
mantles will make 1t possible to employ
higher pressures with the gas and thus
give a more intense flame. 1t is inter-
es&ing to note that the cost of mainte-
nance with the Auer burner is less than
with the ordinary oil burner, and so lit
tile attention does it require that the
French keepers are able to sleep during
their watches.
