Value OF Diamonds.

AS to the value of diamonds, per-
fectly white stones or decided tints Of
red, rose, green or blue are most high
ly priced. Fine cinnamon and salm-
on or brown, black or yellow stones
also are esteemed. If fawless and
without tint Of any kind, they are
termed first water. If they possess a
steely blue color, at times almost
opalescent, they are called blue white.
Such are usually Brazilian stones. Ex-
ceptionally perfect stones are termed
gems, and for such there is no fixed
value, the price depending on the puri-
ty and the brilliancy of the stone. The
term first water varies in meaning, &C.
cording to the class Of goods carried by
the dealer using it.
1t is impossible to estimate the value
Of a diamond by it's weight. Color,
brilliancy, cut and general perfection
of the stone all are to be taken into
account. Of two stones, both fiawless
and weighing ten carats, one may be
worth 5000 and the other $4,000. Ex-
ceptional stones often bring special
prices. Off color or imperfect stones
sell at an average price per carat re-

The Earth's BendfnEs.

Little bendings are in progress all the
time the world over. The ''immOvable"
hills are bowling and scraping to each
other constantly. Every evening, as the
dew settles in the valleys between
them, they nod to one another. So like
wise do the mountains, even to great
er extent. Gravity is Juggling all the
time.
And in London, too, where earth
quake sensations are practically I'M
known, the earth bends daily, and the
buildings, like the hills and the noun
tains, nod to their friends opposite
when the morning traffic begins. On
Sunday usually their manners take q
rest excepting in such places as Petit
coat lane, where business fourishes In
as lively fashion as in Paris.
Heine said that even the trees made
obeisance to Napoleon 1 when he enter
ed Berlin. This was imaginative, yet
truthful, for the weight Of the crowd
along Inter den Linden made fitting
sufficient for Professor Mines pendu-
lums to have recorded distinctly. One
might say the crust Of the earth acts
like a steel spring, it bends SO easily

PEACE MOVE rs DEAD
They Believe at Pittsburg Relative to the
Situation in the Steel Strike.

Situation in the Steel Strike.
Pittsburg, Sept. 1O.-The last efforts
TO settle the steel strike have failed.
The general executive board of the
Amalgamated Association adjourned
last evening without date, and without
either accepting any of the peace prop
ositions which have come indirectly
from the United States Steel Corpora
ton or making any counter PROPOSE
lions, according to the official state
ment. The semi-official report Is that
the proposition secured for the Anal
gamated Association through the inter-
ventiOn of the representatives Of the
National Civic Federation was unsatis-
factory, and that the entire matter of
arranging for a settlement was left
with President Theodore j. Shaffer.
Yesterday completed the first thirty
days since the American Sheet Steel
company, the American Tinplate COM
pany and the American Steel Hoop
company began their attempt to start
the union plants of the country in the
face Of the Amalgamated Association
strike. Aside from the Clark plant Of
the Steel Hoop company and the Up
per and Lower Union mills of the Car
negie company. where the attempt to
render the strike effective was never
a success, the three companies have
during the month succeeded in placing
in operation seventy-SiX mills in the
union plants, single turn. Indications
are that the number will be doubled
within the next ten days if the strike
is not settled before that time.
At McKeesport last evening the
strikers, following up their advantage
of the morning in keeping the work
men from entering the National Tube
works, gathered about the gates of the
nlant in great numbers and warned
the few men who came out not to re-
turn to work this morning. 1t is gen
orally believed the company will ap
peal to the sheriff or governor within
forty-eight hours for protection. Yes
terday morning 1000 pickets gathered
on all the streets around the mills and
forced the men going to work to return
to their homes.
Milwaukee, Wis, Sept. 10.-Thirty
five Amalgamated Association men re
turned to work at the plant Of the
Illinois Steel company in Bay View
yesterday Many others are uneasy
and are expected to return in a few
days. It is said that two OF the com
pany's mills-the tWelve-inch and raj
mill-were started yesterday morning
| There was no trouble whatever. Many
| of the radicals-or those who bOlted a

those who went to work.
The mechanical department is sai(
to be working almost fully. 1t is sale
the Amalgamated men who returned
to work yesterday will work twelve
hour shift until more men are secured
Among those who passed through thu
gates to report for duty were J. D
Hickey and J. f. Cooper, the two mel
who went to Pittsburg ten days ag
to learn the real facts in regard to tn
big strike, and whose report created ;
sensation.

he got into the grounds, but was afraid
to attempt the assassination because
there were so many men in the body
