Yokss have appeared on some of the
heavy waists. but these will not be-

Hand work in tucks, herringbone,
embroidery and applique still holds its
own on soft materials. Stitctings and
stitched bands are also stylish, but
stitching in contrasting color Is now
considered a bit odd. Silk in the color

Are Not Common. il This Country
Hat Oas Was TAus TouaA
N AlAbano

Biologists have just about made up
their minds that diamonds will never
be found in this country in any con
siderable quantities. Every now and
then gem of this kind turns up in an
accidental sort of way in one place or
another, and suggestions of diamond
fields offer themselves to imaginative
people. Why, it il urged, should not
the United States, so rich in almost
everything else, possess this kind of
minera! wealth, hidden away in some
unsupported locality?
Such a thing is possible. but unlike
ly, says the Philadelphia Saturday
Evening Post. Geologically, nearly
the whole of this country has been
pretty well explored, and there does
not seem to be any prospect that it will
ever rival South Africa as a producer
Of diamonds. A few dollars worth Of
these gems per annum appears to be
about all we can reasonably expect as
an output.
The only diamond Of considerable
size that we produced last year
weighed four and half carats. and
was found about 80 miles south Of
Birmingham. Ala, under rather odd
circumstances. 1t turned up in back
yard garden, where some earth had
been put to fill up few holes. Pre-
sumably the gem was contained orig
inally in this earth, portion OF which
was placed close to the house, where
water dripped upon 1t from the over
hanging roof.
BY and by little girl came out Of
the house into the garden. 1t had been
raining hard, and she noticed, near
the steps, a particularly bright peb-
BILE, which had been washed clean by
the rain. Securing it. she took it to
her mother. ard later it was identified
as real diamond of remarkably pure
water. Experts stated that it would
yield cut stone of one carat and .
half, or possibly more.
There is a popular notion to the
effect that rough diamonds are not
bright, but this is mistake. Even in
that condition they are very bright,
with a peculiar "adamantine luster,"
as it is called which no other sub
stance possesses. However, the crude
diamond crystal is not transparent;
one cannot see through it.
The Jubilee diamond (now the prop
erty of syndicate), which is the larg-
est and finest in the world, is so per-
fectly cut that, when placed on the
small truncated apex of it's pyramid,
it stands perfectly balanced, though
measuring one inch and five-eighths in
length, one inch and three-eighths in
breadth, and one inch in depth. 1t was
cut from the larger part of an irreg-
ular crystal of unusual size which was
found, in 1898, at Jaegersfontein, In
South Africa. A black spot near the
middle of the stone was the reason
for cutting it in two.

Bill in Equity Filed Against Consum-
ers' Brewing Company.
A bill in equity was filed in the circuit
court of Alexandria county Va, today by
William j. Donovan and Henry Murray of
this city and Thomas F. Conroy of Vir-

asking an injunction to restrain the voting
of certain stock at an election that had
been arranged to be held this morning at
IL o'clock at the office of the company
Rosslyn, Va. An accounting and the ap-
pointment of a receiver to wind up the
business of the corporation were also asked.
In the bill of complaint it is set forth that
the defendant company was formed some
years ago and that a charter was issued
from the state of Virginia authorizing
capital stock of $500 600; it is alleged that
about two or three years ago the company
became financially embarrassed and that
deal was made between the board of di-
rectors of the company and the defendant
Bernard Catz, whereby the latter it is said,
obtained majority of the stock of the
corporation, which was in the treasury
thereof, without any consideration, against,
it is charged, the protest of the stockhold-
ers and in defraud of their rights. 1t is
further alleged that the defendant Catz

worth of bonds, which were made lien
upon all the assets of the company.
In the bill 1t is declared that the COM
pany Is now and has for some time been
in an insolvent condition, and, in fact,
bankrupt; that the meeting called for this
morning was Illegal and was planned for
the purpose of attempting to change the
name of the corporation and to increase
the capital stock, Notwithstanding the al
legged insolvency. The statement is made
that such action is contemplated in pursu-
ance Of prearranged conspiracy to de-
fraud the cOmplainants and to freeze them
out OF their interests in the corporation
though they are possessed of large guam
tity of the stock of the defendant COM
pany, for which, they claim, they were in
duced to pay full par value on account of
alleged misrepresentation which they
aver. We're made to them by members of
the board of directors of the brewing COM
pany
The petition was presented to Judge Nor
ton, upon consideration of which the court
granted temporary restraining order en-
joining the defendant Catz from endeavor-
ing to vote his majority interest in the
stock of the company at the meeting to-
day, the rule being made returnable the
4th of next May.

DECISION DEFERRED.
Police Chief VIII Take No Action tn
Reflect on Lieut.. Amfss

Police Chief Will Take No Action to
Reflect ON Lieut.. Amiss.
Maj Sylvester has not yet concluded h,s
investigation Of the alleged riotous con-
duct of Pennsylvania soldiers in this citv
subsequent to the inaugural parade. and
until he goes over the several reports M
action will be taken. 1t is rumored that
Lieut.. Amiss may be transferred to an
other precinct. Rumor also has it that
others in the precinct may be sent to other
precincts.
In addition to the soldier riots, the cases
involving the arrest and subsequent deaths
Of Frederick Harrington and William Zim
norman are also being investigated. Mai.
Sylvester said this morning that he had
not reached any conclusion in the matter
Of either investigation, and therefore he
could not say what will be done. Lieut.
Amiss, he said, has been an efficient officer.
who has seen many years of active SER
vice, and certainly nothing will be done at
this time that will reflect on his efficiency.
If any action is necessary for the good Of
the service such action will be taken.
In the event Of the transfer of Lieut..
Amiss other changes will be rendered nee
essary, and 1t may be that several of the
lieutenants will be given other details
Such transfers are made from time to
time in the interest OF the service it being
the idea of some OF the officials that trans
fers are usually beneficial.
Lieut.. Amiss has been on the force many
years. and has probably seen as much. if
not more, hard service than most of those
who are now actively engaged in police
duty. His health, 1t is stated, Is not yery
good. and Maj. Sylvester may determine
to take more rest, and perhaps improve his
health. -

THE SHERMAN STATUE
CONTRACT CONCLUDED YESTERDAY
FOR ITS COMPLETION.
Details of Agreement Not Made Public
Work to Be Resumed Within
Few Days.

A contract for the completion of the
Sherman statue at the south front of the
treasury building was concluded yesterday
between Mrs. RohlSmith, widow of the
sculptor who received the original award,
and Sculptors Bush Brown of New York
and Henry Kitson of Boston. The parties
to the contract are not yet ready to make
public the details of the agreement, but 1t
was said today that work upon the I'M
finished statue will be resumed within a
few days. The men who will take up the
work left incomplete by Sculptor Rohl-
Smith are well known in the world of art
as qualified for the task they have as
sumed.
1t was about four years ago that the con-
tract for the statue was awarded to Rohl-
Smith. the contract price haing $4,000
Eleven competitors submitted designs for
an equestrian statue, and cash payments
were made as prizes for excellence 10 four
of the unsuccessful contestants. Mr.. Bush
Brown was one of these.
After the death of Rohl-Smith the audi
tor for the Treasury Department rendered
decision in which it was held that the
contract was vacated by the death of the
legal right to assume the contract and pro-
ceed with the unfinished work. The COM
mlttee having jurisdiction Of the artistic
features of the statue, as well as certain of
work. and consisting of Gen. G.. NJ. Dodge
and Secretary Root, determined that the
contract should be relet to Mrs. Rohl
Smith. with the understanding that she
should Sublet it to sculptor or SculptorS
who would carry out the original design.
1t required some time to find men of sutti-
cient ability to impress their. individuality
upon the work and carry to completion the
ideas of the first sculptor.
The Sculptors.
Henry Kitson is we'll known in art circles
in London, his first home, Paris and
throughout the eastern section of the
United States. He studied long at Paris
and while young man won the prize of
Rome, the highest prize offered by the
French government for sculpture. 1t is
said that he holds a corresponding rank
with st. Gaudens and d. G. French. Com
ing to the United States he established his
studio at Boston. His statue of the Minute
Man on the battlefield of Lexington is one
of the works which won for him fame in
the United States. His speciality it is said
is figures and groups.
Mr.. Browns studio is in New York city
He is best known for his bas-reiefs, por-
traiSt and medallions.
The stone work of the pedestal and the
four bronze figures representative of the
several arms of the national military Serv-
ice are complete. Three of these figures
were finished by the original sculptor and
accepted by the statue committee. The
fourth was so nearly complete at the time
of Mr.. Rohl-Smith's death that it has since
been finished, though it has not been passed
upon by the committee.
The figures of the man and horse and
the bas-reliefs constitute the work to be
done by the new sculptors. 1t is thought
which Mr.. Rohl-Smith caused to be built
close by the statue.
