WASHINGTON. April 1o.-Has Georgia
a diamond field?
The geological surveys division OF min
ing and mineral resources OF the United
States has started the belief that there
might be a great diamond field somewhere
in the state. The latest report OF the d.
Visions special agent, George Kunz, says
a fine 500 diamond has been picked up in
Lee county.
''The finding OF this diamond in Lee
county, Georgia, is Of interest as COM
ing from a new region" he says.
Who can tell what the discovery will
lead to? Is it not probable that other dia-
monds lie hidden beneath the soil Of the
Empire State of the South. and will, in
time, be uncovered like the gold deposits
that already form one Of her most sub
stantial resources?
Here is the report of the special agent,
showing. in addition to the Georgia dia-
mond find other precious stones gathered
in the United States during 1901:

IRELAND 10 THIS COUNTRY.
More than 100000 People Have
Emfgrated from Ireland from
1851 to 1901.
St Louis GIobe-Democrat.

OF. LOUIS AftoDe-AJGtttoCrdt.
There is tragic Significance in those
final figures which have just been sent
to Parliament, giving the population
movement of Ireland for the last half
century. According to those figures more
than 100000 people have emigrated from
Ireland from 1851 to 1901, and 50 per cent
of these have come to the United States.
Everybody on both sides of the Atlantic
knew that the movement from Ireland to
this country in the past few decades had
been large. but probably not many, un-
less they made study of immigration
figures, would have guessed that it was 20
great as this.
But these figures do not represent the
full extent of the movement since it be-
gan to take on large proportions. The
emigration. in the volume In which 1t has
attracted the worlds attention, began
with the potato famine of 1916. More per-
sons emigrated from Ireland In the years
between 1S47 and 1851 than in the same
length Of time after that date. and, as
ever afterward most of them came to
the United States. At the present time
the contributions to Americas population
which Ireland makes is comparatively
small, being only 5000 in the fiscal year
ended three weeks ago, as against $1,000
last year and 5000 in 1882, when the ag-
gregate immigration from Europe was at
it's highest. but not when Ireland's own
contribution to 1t was at its largest fig
ure. The immigration figures for Ger
many. however have been reduced in 8
far greater degree In the twenty years
named, for. while Germany's immigrants
numbered 100000 In 1882. they were down
to IS, 200 in the year just ended.
The exodus from Ireland has been far
greater in proportion to population than
has taken place from any other country
of any consequence in modern times.
Along till 1871 every decennial census
showed an increase In Ireland's popula-
ton, which was about 100000 In that
year. but the total was down to 6.575.Gs0
in 1851. The reduction occurred in the
last four years of that decade. Probably
at the end of 1916 Ireland's population
was close to 100000. Starvation, deaths
from other causes aggravated by hunger,
together with the exodus which took
place. cut the population down 1.S25. 900
in four years. The decline has been con-
tinuous to this day, the population in 1901
being 4.456,54 Ireland's total is now be-
low that Of Scotland, and is not much
over half what 1t was in 1886. No other
country Of the world Of the past few CEN
turtles has such a tragic story to tell as
this.

1t was by rheumatic twinges In his
joints that Adam was able to forecast
foul weather and 1t was rheumatism
which tortured Noah during the damp
days of the deluge Old as this maiady ID
known to be, 1t still remains the same
stupendous and battling mystery the same
despair and reproach of the medical pro-

era, it's treatment is empirical and its
prognosis blind guess-work. OF all the
manifold Affections which restrain the
natural gayety of mankind, this elusive
disease is the last about which the doc
tors have any right to dogmatize. Their
proper attitude toward rheumatism Is one
of humility and awe. However. with an
arrogance which approaches shameless
effrontery, they have recently affrmed
that 1t is contagious-that a person OF
the most blameless life may acquire Its
seeds by consorting with a rheumatic

sPEcTAcLEs LOST IN RIVER.
Resulted in Civil Action in Justice
Euller's Court.

The loss of a pair of 25-cent gold-rim-
med spectacles caused negro preacher
and four negro women to be summoned
before Judge w. C. Fuller's court yes
terday afternoon
Martha Hanson swore she bought the
missing spectacles from a jeweiry stand
on Commerce Street. She said she only
wore the spectacles to church and to
funerals. She said Mamie Freak borrow
ed the spectacles to wear to church. She
let Mamie Freak have the spectacles,
she said, with the distinct understanding
that Mamie Freak was to return them
as soon as she came from church. But
Mamie did not bring the spectacles hack,
and would not tell her what became of
them.
After begging Mamie Freak to return
the eyeglasses, Martha Hanson appealed
to the law. And so the case came up be-
fore Judge Fuller.
Mamie Freak acknowledged borrowing
the spectacles. She also admitted wear
ing them to church. She said she got
religion and was baptized in the Alaba-
ma River. She wore the spectacles to
the river and had them on her eyes, she
said, while under the water. The spec
tacIes came off and she averFed that she
had not seen them again.
Parson White, a negro preacher, cor
roborated the testimony of Mamie Freak
Judge Fuller asked Martha Hanson
how much the spectacles cost, and Mar
tina Hanson replied that she paid rs cents
for them.
Then Judge Fuller spoke sternly to
Mamie Freak, saying
Mamie, you go get Martha another
pair of spectacies and l will dismiss the
case"
Mamie Freak agreed to this settlement

journed to street jewelry stand
