DIAMOND CLUB.
A Curious Organization in London
Where Gems Change Hands.


Where Gems Change Hands.
London Express.
This is an age for clubs. Each profess
sion, almost each calling, has its own
particular club where members can meet
one another or their friends, dine, read
the newspapers transact business or play
games of some sort. The majority of the
clubs are well known, if only by name,
hut very few have even heard of the
Diamond Merchants club, in Hatton
garden.
The name speaks for itself. 1t is called
the Diamond club-or, to give it its full
name, the Diamond Merchants and Jew
elers' club, Iimited-and the chief re-
quisite for me embership is that the new
conner should be concerned with or in
the diamond trade. Hatton garden is
busy thoroughfare, and seems to reek OF
diamonds SO to speak. The principal
room of the Diamond club has a half
glass roof which lets in a glare Of light
on the transaction which take place. In
this room may be seen more nlillionaires
at one time than in any other spot in the
world. Another room is cunningly dafk-
ened so as to give relief to tired eyes.
One member may be reading a news
paper, when another comes over and tells
him he wants a few diamonds, explaining
the kind, etc. The first man will imme-
diately 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 con-
ttnue reading his paper.
The first man is probably broker, who
has obtained the diamonds from a mer-
chant, and he has a certain price from
which he cannot abate. If the purchaser
considers the price fair and tbs stones
good he will suggest that they go into
one of the little partitions or cuDlclcs
which are set apart for this purpose
These little divisions face the light-for
it is absolutely necessary to have a bright
light, very little business being done on
dull day-are fitted up with a shelf and
pair of scales, and when the small boll

er are free from any interruption.
The scales are in a glass case, for the
others from a kind of tinsel, so light that

slightest bit of dust would affect the
delicate mechanism, a single hair making
nerence in the working of this Won
dertul little contriVance. The largest
weights are made of metal, but the
a breath will blow them away. Some
idea may be gathered of their minute
ness when one realizes that the smallest
one only weighed the sixty-fOurth part
OF a carat! For the purpose of show
ing up the beauties of the stones they
are laid on different colored papers
blue for pearls black for opals. etc
The club was originally started by two
men who had at last realized that 1t
was rot safe to hold these business con-
ferences in a public house, which had
hitherto been the custom. 1t was such
a success that the members soon bought
out the proprietors and turned it into
limited liability company. II has pro-
gressed so rapidly that Is has quite re

Mr.. BeTnnlrdt is the diamond merchant
from whom most of our great actors and
actresses buy their diamonds, and it
speaks well for h n that when they have
once been to him they never go any
where else
Many of the members of the Diamond
Merchants club are foreigners, although
many Englishmen are among the num-
ber. D0minos and cards are provided,
but no game of cards is allowed before
4 O'Clock, and then only solo whist may
be played, the slightest tendency to gam
BILE being strictly prohibited.
This is, perhaps, the only club that
opens and shuts early, for very few
others open at 10 O'Clock in the morn
ing and close at I at night. Perhaps
the members consider II wiser to de
posit their wares in some safer place

SUPERIOR MERIT.
Remarkable Curative Properties of
Remedy for Indigestion and
Stomach Weakness.

Stomach weakness.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, a prepara-
ton for the cure of dyspepsia and the
various forms of indigestion and stom-
ach trouble, owes its great success as a
cure for these troubles to the fact that
It IS prepared for disease and weakness
of the stomach and digestive organs
only, and is not recommended or advised
for any other disease.
1t Is not cure-all, but for any Stom-
ach trouble 1t is undoubtedly the safest,
most sensible remedy that can be ad-
vised with the prospect Of a permanent
cure. 1t is prepared in tablet form,
pleasant to taste, composed of vegetable
and fruit essences, pure pepsin and Gold
en- Seal, every one of which acts effect
lively in digesting the food eaten, there
by resting and invigorating the weak
stomach; rest IS natures cure for any
disease, but you cannot rest the stom-
ach unless you put into it something
that will do its work or assist in the di-
gestion of food.
That is exactly what Stuarts Dyspep-
sia Tablets do, one grain of the diges-
tive principle contained in them will di-
gest 5000 grains of meat, eggs or SINH
lar wholesome foods, they will digest the
food whether the stomach is in working
order or not, thereby nourishing the
body and resting the stomach at the
same time, and rest and nourishment is
natures cure for any weakness.
In persons run down in flesh and ap-
petite these tablets build up the strength
and increase flesh, because they digest
fiesh-forming food which the weak stom-
ach cannot do, they increase the flow of
gastric juice and prevent fermentation,
acidity and sour watery risings
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can be
found at all drug stores at 50 cts. per
package.

MinnesOtans for Philadelphia to
Leave Chicago Today.
CHICAGO, June 16.-This city was to-
day the center of the Western rush for
the Philadelphia convention. Three
large organizations identified with the
Republican party in Cook county started
for the Quaker City today, to say moth
ing of a flood of delegates and politicians
from the Western states who, all a-f1ut-
ter with flags and badges, paused long
enough to transfer themselves to rail-
roads running East.
The Minnesota, Wisconsin, Nebraska
and upper Michigan delegates, with their
friends, will leave here tomorrow over
the Baltimore & Ohio. Nearly all expect
to reach Philadelphia Monday
Among the men who left Chicago to-
day for the convention was George B.
Schneider, who attended the first Repub-
lican convention in 1856. He attends the
convention under an invitation from Sen
ator Hanna, who sent similar invitations
to the other delegates to that political
gathering.

MIR. MOHGAN's IDEA.
Alabama Senator Discusses the
Democratic Platform.


KNOXVILLE, Tenn, June 16:-In let
ter to G. f. Milton, editor Of the Senti-
mel, and delegate to the Kansas City con-
vention, Senator John T. Morgan, of Ala
bama, thus expresses his views concern
ing the platform to be adopted at Kansas
City:
The horses are named and entered for
the race, and the riders weighed and in the
saddle, SO both parties are trying to find
the smoothest ground to run over, and
neither can do anything else. Our smooth
est path is that we have beaten out with
the tramp of Democracy since jefferson
blazed the way and Jackson opened it.
The Chicago platform is a true exposition
Of the creed, though it has a few mar
ginal notes that are rather too socialistic;
Bryan has added some that we can afford
to ignore; others will be attempted in
the Populist direction; New York will at
tempt TO rewrite it and put Bryan's pic
ture over it as an index to it's meaning.
The safe course is to stand by it. The
people will understand US if we do that.
A new alignment will lose US more than
we gain.

Gloves have long been made in very

line is one-fngered glove;. or, per-
haps, it ight be called one-fngered
mitten, in which the thumb and first
finger are provided for precisely as
they would be in any glove, with a COW

fingers are inclosed in a mitten-like
part. Mittens are warmer, but a driver
must wear gloves or have at least one
1irger free to enable him to handle the
reins. The onc-tingered glove is made
Tor his especial convenience; with the
thumb and forefinger free he can han
die the llres all right, while his hands
are. for the rest of them, protected as
they would be by mittens. One-fin-
