steppes of Russia, and he is said to
have been the first to live and teach
the principles of the new faith. The
members of the sect call themselves
only by the name christians" but
the followers of this soldier were
early dubbed by the Russian officials
the Doukhobortzi. Their persecution
began early and hinged upon their re-
fusal to serve in the army-a service
which seemed to them nothing short
of murder. This refusal, as may we'll
be imagined, was punished most Sc
verely. Even as recently as 1887, when
universal military service was intro
duced for the first time into the pro-
vince into which they had, in body
been banished, many of them were
whipped until their ''boots were filled
with Blood" others were imprisoned
and many were sent in chains into in
voluntary military service or exile. A
few yielded; but many more persisted.
For long period of years the sect
had grown in this dwarfing atmos-
phere of oppression; but in 1895 the
great majority of them resolutely
stood together in declining to offend
their consciences. They came to-
gether in mass meeting and burned all
their weapons. Harsh measures of
punishment were Immediately resort
ed to, though with great secrecy, no
newspaper daring to recount the
scenes or even to refer to the sect in
any manner, on pain of confiscatio
On the assumption that the mass
meeting was the visible evidence of a
rebellion the cossacks were called out
against them and the whole band of
Doukhobers was driven to distant
village to appear before the governor.
On the way both the men and women
were cruelty treated.
At this point certain kindhearted
Russians who had beheld their suffer-
ings made appeal to the car and Sc
cured for them the permission to
emigrate at their own expense. An
English officer who had become one of
a group of Tolstoi admirers, which
had become interested in the Douk-
hobers, visited Russia with funds to
start colonization movement; but he
was soon expelled from the empire by
the police. On his way home, how
ever, he visited the island of Cyprus
and selected it as the site of the first
colony and in the summer of 1899 the
first shipload of Doukhober emf
grants landed there. But the climate
OF the island proved toe much for them
and it was determined to secure land
ever eager to find settlers for its great
northwest. encouraged THU Lds.S ard,

- IAMOND cutting is among
|M/TA the most important of
IN M the many industries of
@fAkgA Amsterdam. This great
EYLW Dutch capital, with it's
- 100000 inhabitants, is one
of the most beautiful of Euro
pean cities, and richly deserves
its poetic name-the Venice OF
the North" Apart, however, from
the charm of it's picturesque
buildings and many canals, 1t
ranks at the present time as one of the
most important commercial centers OF
the world.
Among it's many industries, that OF
diamond cutting has long been an i'm
portant one. Since the fifteenth CEN
fury (when it was started), 1T has been
extensively carried on, and to-day no
| fewer than 60 firms are registered in
Amsterdam as diamond-cutting or
diamond-polishing companies.
Some of the firms restrict them
selves entirely to one process, that OF
diamond polishing; while others carry
out the whole of the three processes
| diamond splitting, diamond cutting
and diamond polishing. This is the
| case with one concern situated IN the
| Zwanenburger STRAIT, and through
| the courtesy of the managing director
we had the pleasure of seeing very
thoroughly all the different processes
| at work through which a rough uncut

| for the jewelers. skill.
The first of the three processes
| through which the rough uncut dia-
mond has to pass is that of splitting
| the stone. About IL men are employed
| in this work, which is all done by hand,
without the aid of machinery. 1t is
| not lengthy process unless the stone
contains a great many flaws, for an
ordinary diamond weighing about ten
carats can generally be split in Is
minutes.
The object is to divide the rough I'M
cut diamond Containing faws) into
several pure, fiawless stones, and in
order to do this strong pressure is
eXerted on the weak spots Caused by
flaws) by means of diamond tipped
tool, which is held in the right hand.
1t is an old and weIl-recognized prin-
ciple that nothing but diamond
will cut a diamond"
In the left hand is held curiously
shaped little frame, into which the
rough diamond now to be split has
been firmly waXed. Great pressure is
then used on the weak spot, and in a
few moments the diamond splits into
two portions. Should there be any
more flaws in either of these sections
the process is repeated until several
pure, fawless diamonds lie on the
rough wooden tables of the workmen,
| ready now for the second process
that of cutting. This process, like the
| first, is almost entirely performed by
hand, but with one striking difference
the work is done by women and girls
instead of men.
The tools employed in diamond cut
ting are very similar in appearance to
those employed in the first process,
that of diamond splitting. In both
| cases diamonds are used as knives af-
ter having been firmly waxed into the
tip of pear-shaped tools. The women
hold in the left hand the rough dia-
mond they wish to cut, which has also
been firmly waXed into a wooden
frame. Little jets of gas are always
kept burning on the various tables,

w WI EWS dispatches again call
kNN the worlds attention to
NAw that peculiar religious
SNWN sect, the Doukhob ers, of
Canada. A force of 1000
of them is reported to be
marching on Yorkton, Man., to de-
mand of the authorities such food as
their, religious restrictions permit
them to eat.
The Doukhobers may be likened to
some rare plant or growth of peculiar
sensitiveness that has sprung into ex-
istence amidst oppressive conditions,
that has been transplanted into
freer soil, but more rigorous climate,
and whose latest stage presents a
perpleXing study. Taking root In
Russia, the Doukhober sect was trans
planted to Canada. but unfortunately
Canada has not turned out to be the
Promised land. Just where that land
lies is the puzzling question. Some
critics regard the Doukhobers as al
together too good for this world; and
others profess admiration for them
and their method of worship. All
agree that the people are universally
honest, frugal, industrious, gentle and
kindhearted. The following are
briefly some of the peculiarities of
their religious belief: All property,
they hold, should be owned by the
community, everyone laboring for the
common store and taking therefrom
whatsoever he needs. Meat should not
be eaten. There should be no courts
of law and no civil or other ceremony
is necessary to constitute marriage.
Births and deaths, they hold, should
not be registered, on the ground that
God knows who is born and who
dies.
This religious sect existed for
long time in Russia as hidden
church," of which the outside world
knew little or nothing. At some time
in the seventeenth century an old SOL
der, whose exact lineage is uncertain, :,
roamed from village to village in the

and Hempbill were present, and each
made a speech after the congressional
candidates had retired. As there
was no enemy present, in the shape
of Il Commercial Democrat, or 4 Nc
LauTinite, the candidates contented
themselves by firing blank cartridges
to the entertainment Of the crowd
and their own delight. The nearest
approach to old time fireworks was
the reference Of Mr. Latim4r 'to the
fact tn, men who had gone into the
primary had pledged themselves to
support him had gone to Washing
ton and sought to destroy his useful
ness, branding him as Popnlist." "
This sally was not noticed by the
other candidates. Mr.. Latimer had
d majority of the crowd of course, as
this section is one of his strongholds
and near his home.
It was late in the afternoon when
the speech making was finished and
the crowd had commenced to dis
perse.
Late in the afternoon this section
was visited by fine rain, the first

problem of transportation is exceed

factor in furthering the public well

duty Of the State to see that the
rights of the public and the railways
are alike carefully guarded and that
there shall be no encroachment from
