HIS LAST HOPE REALIZED.


In the first opening of Oklahoma to set
tiers in 1899, the editor of this paper was
among the many seekers after fortune
who made the big race one fine day in
April During his travelling about and
afterwards his camping upon his claim,
he encountered much bad water, which,
together with the severe heat, gave him
very severe diarrhoea which it seemed
almost impossible to check, and along in
June the case became so bad he expected
to die. One day one of his neighbors
brought him one small bottle of Chamber
lain's Cohc. Cholrea and Diarrhoea
Remedy as a last hope. a big dose was
given him while he was rolling about on
the ground in great agony, and in few
minutes the dose was repeated. The
good effect of the medicine was soor
noticed and within an hour the patient
was taking his first sound sleep for 6
fortnight That one little bottle worked

of the most perfect diamond ever found

alternative to offer.
Diamonds cannot be formed in the pres

ergy, while they are all possible in volcanic
action, were never succeeded by sudden
cold. which is equally requisite to the for
nation of the diamond crystal, as proved

QUAINT FRENCH VILLAGE.
Quiet and Peaceful Place Half an
Hours Journey From Paris.

Correspondence OF the LONDON Teiegraph.
It seems hardly credible that not more
than thirty minutes from all the noise and
hustle of Paris there lies a village that is
SO quet, so peaceful, and SO old-fashioned
that one would imagine oneself at least one
hundred miles away from the gay capital.
Here, at this village, La Frette by name,
and about fifteen minutes walk from Cor
meilles, preparations for midday and even
ing repasts have to be made very early in
the morning, for no such thing as good
meilles is one which one considers twice
before taking. for it Is up steep and rough
roads. So daily, butcher, baker and green
grocer pass this quaint little place. and the
villagers gather round the various trades
men and make their purchases for the day.
They also buy their clothes in this way,
and may often be seen trying ON boHnets.
dresses and boots in the middle of the
street. From a scenic point OF view, all ar
lists have agreed that there is no place to
equal La Frette between Paris and Havre.
To the left of the village Is the park OF
Maisons Laffltte, and facing the park is
Sartrouville, while opposite lies the forest
of St. German in all its green splendor. To
the right is Herblay, quite an important
place, whose church Is visible for miles
along the Seine. La Frette itself has the
quaintest villagers possible. Many Of them
speak worse French than those Of the Midi,
and 1t Is an event indeed when one takes a

TWO SICK POLICEMEN.
Maj. Sylvester Recommends That
Extra Leave Be Granted

One or the most interesting papers that
has come from the police department in
some time is now before the Commission
ers. being a report OF the Investigation
into the injury and illness of two men,
bers Of the force.LAWfah regard to one of
the officers 1t is stated that he does not
know what was the cause of his illness,
but he does not, attribute it to living in
Anacostia." This officer also states he had
been reported sick for four days before
Police Surgeon Vale visited him.
In the report OF the police surgeons for
July, DIR. F. p. Vale stated that Private
Maddox was Frustrated by the heat in line
of duty: that Private Owens lives in very
malartal region and he could not state his
malaria was contracted in the line of duty,
nor was he sure that Private Mancosos
was on duty when he fractured his leg.
In view of these statements Major Syl-
vester, superintendent Of police. referred
the matter to Acting Lieutenant Mulhall
of the fifth precinct for report. This re-
port follows:
Private Mancosos was on duty on the
street the night of the 18th of April last.
He says that about 11:55 p. M he saw a
colored man answering the description of
a man wanted for a serious assault on q
young white man on the day before. When
Mancosos approached the negro he ran
westwardly between the tracks of the B.
and P. r. r. toward South Capitol street.
Mancosos, feeling sure that the negro was
the man wanted, ran in pursuit of him.
This place is very dark on account of a
great number of cars being stored there.
Mancosos says that when he had run about
fifty feet west of where New Jersey avenue
crosses the railroad tracks he fell and frac-
tured his right leg between the ankle and
knee. He states that he called for help, be-
ing answered by Private D. ]. Cullinane,
who went to the patrol box and called the
fifth precinct wagon, which conveyed Man.
cosos to Providence Hospital, where he re-
manned until he was able to go about with
the aid Of crutches, when he went home
Mancosos' story is corroborated by Privates
D. ]. Cullinane and W. T. Clinton, so far as
his being found by them In the above de-
scribed condition and place.
Driver J. T. Owens says that he Is I'M
able to say what was the cause of the i'll
ness, but that he does not attribute IT to
his living in Anacostia. He complains that
1t was four days after he reported sick be-
fore DR.. Vale visited him. and that he be-
came so sick he was compelled to call an
other doctor CDR Watson)."
Major Sylvester, in forwarding the papers
to the Commissioners, says that after read
ing the above report he is Of opinion that
extra sick leave should be granted these
men, their troubles having been contracted
in line of duty.
