The Glow the Diamond Shows When
Under Pressure.

The Glow the Diamond shows "hen
Under Pressure.
\ traveller for a diamond house was
talking shop the other evening and,
speaking of gems, said:
The most OverwOrked expression
used by the unsophisticated and deeply
impressed diamond purchaser is, 1t
actually looks as If it glows Of ITSELF
Now, it is not generally known that
such is actually the case although not,
Of course, in the way the public in
tends. The beauty of the gem in light
is, of course, in its remarkable refract-
i've power, but under certain conditions
the diamond has more, for it may
CLEAN even in the night with a pale
but extremely beautiful light. In
short, it becomes phosphorescent
Heated to a certain temperature the
internal fire shows itself, and under
pressure the same is true.
"Somc years ago I yventtto Arnstnr-
dam to purchase some special stones
for n California millionaire who had
ordered them through our New York
house, and while there was shown
the inside workings of thelfamous dla-
mond cutting establishments Of that
city. or all that l saw, however, the
self fame of the stones under pres
sure most surprised, me. The manager
placed a large rose, cut gem between
the jaws Of wise and carefully ap-
piled certain amount of pressure He
then extinguished all the light in the
shop, and as soon as my eyes had be-
come accustomed to the darkness /
saw the diamond emitting a soft radi-
ance Of its own like very pale glow
worm. AS l remember it, he said that
the yellower diamonds were slightly
more phosphorescent than the first
water stones.
'By the way, youlwould be really as
tonished to know the number of jewels
which also possess self fame to a
more or less extent, and 1 have often
wondered If the aIchemists who per-
formed such apparently well authenti-
Gated wonders in the imiddle ages did
not know somethingl of phosphores-
cence and its oddities"-New Orleans

dietary committee, the committee ON
expenditures in the postotfice depart
ment and the committee on rules When
General Garfield received the nomina-
tion for the presidency, Mr.. Mckinley
was assigned to the vacancy Oh the
committee on ways and means. he
served on the last mentioned committee
until the expiration of his last term as
representative. While chairman of this
committee he framed the Mckinley bill,
which afterward became a law.
Mckinley was protege OF exPresi-
dent Hayes, and ue 10 the time of the
lattef's death he recognized the ex-
president as his adviser and counselor.
He was in General Hayes regiment
during the civil war General Hayes
knew him ana his father we'll. and saw
IN the dashing young cavalier the germ
of greatness. He needed Il counselor
an adviser, friend. and General
Hayes watched over him with the
nlial love. devotion and pride of
father.
The war ended. Mckinley stin re-
mained an object of hope of interest
and pride to General Hayes. Mckin-
icy became a candidate for congress
and was elected When Hayes was
president, Mckinley was in the house
OF representatives The major was a
frequent Welcome visitor at the White
House. One day the president gave
Mckinley advice, which made Mekin-
ley the foremost champion of pro-
teetive tariff President Hayes thus
spoke to the young representative:
''To achieve success and fame you
must pursue special line. You must
not make a speech on every motion
offered or bill introduced. You must
cOn6ne yourself TO one particular
thing. Become a specialist. Take up
some branch of legislation and make
that your study. Why not take up the
subject OF tariff? Being n subject that
will not be settled for years to come,
1t offers q great field for study and a
chance for ultimate fame"
With these words ringing in his ears
Mckinley began studying the tariff |
and soon became the foremost author
ity on the subject.
The day upon which the Mckinley !
tariff biH'' was passed in the house |
must always stand as the supreme mo-
nent Of McKinley's congressional ca

THE MAIDEN OF THE SMILE.

IN that fair land where slope and plain
Shine back to sun and sky
And olives shield the sprouting grain
When wintry arrows fly,
Where snow fed streams seek sun warmed
vale,
Through vineyard scarped defle,
The world We enter with wall
She greeted wtn a smile.
slumbering she smiled and, smiling. woke,
And when she felt the smart
OF grave, sad life smiles still bespoke
Her tenderness Of heart,
And nightly when she knelt and prayed
Beside her snow white bed
Her face was one pure smile that made
A heaven about her head.
When love first trembled in her ear f..
The heart throbs that beguile,
She listened with asserting tear,
Then chased it with a smile.
Sorrow and pain with smiles she bore
Unto her latest breath,
But the sweetest smile she ever wore
Was the smile sae wore in death.

COUNTY MAP
NOW BEING REVISED AND WILL
 SOON BE COMPLETE.
1t is Splendid Piece of Work and More Than Up to Mir. Beauman's
 Promises.

The county map proposed some time ago by Mr Guy Beauman, the Illinois publisher, is now in a fair way to be completed With tireless energy Mr. Beauman has gathered data which will make the most com plete map ever exhibited in Arkansas The original drawing is now being re- viewed by those interested in this proposed publication and speaks for it. self as being production of artists of the first-class. This incomplete draw ing is drawn to a large scale, and, as promised by MT Beauman on the out tract of land in Jefferson county, to- gether with name of owner. Rail- roads. county roads, lakes and haYons are being added, with correct location just as they run through the lands Towns are located according to sur veys, and the Arkansas river is now also being shown correctly for the first time since the original survey by the government back in the 20s The map shows the many changes in bed of river which is very important feature
 Altogether the map will be more exhaustive than MT. Beauman prom ised, and will be a higher class of art than his contracts contemplate
 Many people who at first discredit- ed the importance or value of such a land plat are now encouraging it with their orders for a copy until Mr Beauman has an order from most every large land owner in the county, which he requires in advance as a guarantee. because of the limited ter ritory for county map patronage

 When being sentenced Simms seem- ed very unconcerned. He is a short legged, dangerous looking character and possesses a vicious looking coun- tenance.
 MT. Sorrells said that he felt that Simms should serve fifteen years for his crime, but twelve years having been agreed upon without a trial. he accepted it.
 The two cases against Simms were the only cases on the calendar for to- day s'2d Judge Grace discharged the jury until 3 o'clock Tuesday morning.

Mir Beauman spent all Saturday night and Sunday at the po- lice station, but he did not remain be- hind the bars. He was allowed to remain in the chiefs office in com pany with an officer and spent sever al hours on the streets Sunday with a deputized patrolman. He shows no signs of uneasiness and it is evident that he has no inclination to give the officers the slip. Realizing this. Chief Craig released him on his own recoe- nlzance today.
 Sheriff Thomas Manion. of Mt Vernon, Jefferson county. H.. te1e- graphed Chief Craig Sunday that he would arrive here Thursday with the proper papers and requested him to hold Beauman until he arrives.

The criminal docket was taken up and the first cases for trial were those |against Clabe Simms. a negro charged Fwith robbery and grand larceny. Simms was unable to employ counsel and the state appointed Messrs Ben j. Altheimer and Sidney J. Hunt to represent him. Prosecuting Attorney Sorrells looked after the states in- terests. and announced ready imme- diately after Simms was arraign- cd for trial. The attorneys for Simms had a conference with their client and a half hour afterwards an nouncej that they and Simms had agreed lie would accept twelve years in the epnitentiary without trial This was satisfactory to Prosecutor Sor- rells and Judge Grace sentenced Simms to two years for grand larceny and ten for robbery
 The charge against Simms was backed up by much convicting evi dence. He was indicted in both cases by the grand jury at it's recent sitting. Simms crime was a bold one
 He entered the home of Mrs Ruger at Plum Bayou while the lady was sick, and leveled gun at her. de handing at the same time that she give up $445 50 which she had under her pillow, and she complied with Simms demands He then laid down his gun, drew a knife from his pocket and told the badly frightened woman
