THE IMPERIAL OPAL
To Be Offered to King Edward for
the Crown RegaIfa.


the Crown RegaITa.
More talked about of late than any other
jewel in the world is the stone known as
the imperial opal The Imperial opal"
has been privately exhibited at the Office
of the agent general for Victoria to rep
resentative Australians. Apart from its
wonderful beauty and Intrinsic worth. a
special interest attaches to the stone for
the reason that the owner has decided to
offer it to his Majesty the King as a con-
tribution TO the crown resaIia in honor
of the newIy-formed Commonwealth Of
Australia.
The stone, which is the property Of
Maurice Lyons, has been cut into an fr-
regular cushion shape. pending the ulti-
mate decision as to the purpose for which
it will be utilized In its present state
it is about two inches long and close upon
an inch and a half in depth. and weighs
ESQ carats 1t Is thus one Of the largest
opaIS and certainly the finest ever SEEN
and IS described as being probably the
most beautiful gem IN existence" The
stone is one OF 4 remarkably fine quality.
1t displays most brilliantly all the cclors
of the rainbow. and combines in a rare
degree the attributes of various stones
It's briTTiance almost approaches that Of
the diamond; the coloTS of the ruby the
emerald and the amethyst are all clearly
marked and wonderfully blended and
seen in a good light there appears to be
a prevailing background of purpie.-Chi-

performance yesterday afternoon over

seven minutes and four seconds. Not

The Lafayette Stock Company last night
I presented BUlwer Lytton's cassie dra-
matte poem The Lady Of Lyons which,
since its initial production many years
ago, has been utilized by many of the
| leading stars Of America and England.
| It tells love story which is conceded to
be second only to that of the immortal
Romeo and Juliet but unlike the latter,
it ends happily, and SO has none OF the
tragic elements OF the Shakespearean
piece.
Edwin Arden plays Claude Melnette
and very sensibly plays the role without
the buster and grandfloquence which has
Characterized the representations Of 50
many actors. Mr.. Arden makes Claude a
modern lover, and, as usual, he gives q
splendid performance. His reading IS ad-
mirable and he acts with the grace and
ease which always mark his work Min
ME Radcliffe fills the role of Pauline very
acceptabIy. The part is not an easy one
and the lines are not Of ordinary con-
struction, but Miss Radcliffe gives a sweet

 supporting orders and sharp bidding up
 of stocks newly brought forward into prominence. Sugar, Peoples Gas and
 Rock Island were the principal sustain ing forces at the opening. The specula- tive contest was continued all day with varying fortunes. The greatest irregu- larity and most cratic fluctuations were
 among the grangers, coalers, Pacifics and some of the trunk lines These all had their early period of strength and again were most prominent in the late drive against the market. St. Paul rose at one time to 161 and fell back late in the day to 1561a. The declines from the highest in other members of these groups ran from to 31a points. The Southwestern railroad stocks were the most consistently strong of any in the special list The special strength in Missouri Pacific had stimulating ef- feet on the whole group. This stock opened up a fraction and inaugurated most of the rallies afterwards during the day. It closed at S11a, the top price, showing net gain of 5 points. The only news to account for the rise was a published estimate placing the earnings of the company at 8 high per cent. of the stock.
 The final strong rally of the market very materially reduced the days de- cllnes and lifted many stocks from to ? points above the low level. Reading rallied 25a.
 Talk of impending gold exports this morning and some uneasiness over the unsettled conditions in the foreign mon- ey markets were causes melting to the more cautious attitude of speculation.
