TURQUOISE SYNDICATE,
To Establish a Factory for Cutting
 and Polishing in New Haven.

To Establish Factory for Cutting
 and Polishing in New Haven.
 The New York Herald recently con- taned an article relating to the scar city of diamonds, and also the state- ment that, although the war between the Boers and Great Britain is gener- ally given as the cause, the real reason is that the diamond trust, better known perhaps as the De Beers syndicate, con- trols the diamond output, and has 0 large stock of these precious stones which 1t is withholding from the mar ket The paper then speaks as follows of the turquoise syndicate, the first an- nouncement concerning which was made in our columns:
 Now it transpires that it Is not the diamond alone among the precious stones which Is controlled by syndi- cate, as there Is another company which has been in existence only a few months, which, when fully organized and in operation, will control almost, if not wholly. the worlds output of turquoses. This company was incor- porated under the North American Turquoise Syndicate, and at the pres- ent time 1t controls nearly 90 per cent, of the turquoise mines of the world. The president and central figure of the corporation Is General Douglas Leffing- we'll of New Haven, and his son. A. McGregor Leffingwell, at present has charge of the affairs of the company.
 It is the intention of the organiza- tion to make its headquarters in Bos- ton, where 1t will establish large fac- tory within few months for the pur- pose of cutting and polishing the rough stones sent from the mines, which are principally in New Mexico. Hitherto most of the turqouises on the market have been mined in Egypt, Persia, and Saxony, but these mines, after having benu worked for hundred of years, are practically exhausted, and now con- sumers are obliged to rely principally on the New Mexico mines. The tur- quoise is, year by year, growing in favor, and, if the new syndicate wishes to take the same action in regard to this stone that the De Beers syndicate has taken In regard to diamonds, It can very readily force the prices up. The syndicate goes farther than this, how ever, as it intends to establish an ex- change for precious stones In Boston. It controls, besides the turquoise mines, valuable emerald mine and several smaller properties of different kinds.

SHE GOT CHANGE.

Litigation Follows the Breaking of a
Twenty Dollar Bill in Nickels by a
Car Conductor.
The supreme court will be called upon
at it's next sitting in Jackson to look
into the peculiar case of Mrs. Crutch-
field VS.. the Memphis Street railway.
Mrs. Crutchfield sues the street railway
company for five hundred dollars dam
ages and maintains that she has such a
cause as entities her to a trial on the
merits
1t is related that on the day of the
transaction Mrs Crutchfield, who lives
in Fort Pickering, having occasion to
come up town, found that she had no
other money than twenty dollar bill.
She tried to get this money changed be-
fore she boarded the street car. She
went to the butcher with whom she
deals in the neighborhood and offered to
pay a bill there if the butcher could
change the bill, but she could not get it
changed. So she boarded the street car
with the bill. It is related on behalf of
the complainant that she explained to
the conductor the circumstances ac-
counting for the necessity for offering
him so large bill and asked him for
transfer at Beal street. They were not
able to settle the trouble about the bill
until they came to MMadison street,
when the conductor got off the car to
get the bill changed 1t is asserted that
he went to some trouble to get the bill
changed entirely to nickels, He got at
the first bank, so it is asserted by the
complainant, ten dollars in nickels and
a ten dollar bill, and then went to an
other bank and got the ten dollar bill
changed to nicl&els. He carried these
small coins to the passenger and ten
dered them to her.
It is related that Mrs Crutchfield
asked for time in which TO count the
but the conductor demurred and
the other passengers protested against
the delay, so that Mis-. Crutchfield said
