Paris, March 2O-At the close of
Sarah Bernhardt's performance in

evening, following the dramatic climax
when Werther seeks to kill himself,
the audience was startled by wom-
ans voice in the body of the theater

known newspaper contributor. She
was accompanied by her daughter,
who, knowing her mothers suicidal in
tent, had withdrawn the ball cart
ridges from the pistol and replaced
them with blank cartridges so that
the shot did not cause any damage be-
yond causing a temporary panic. Find
ing that the shot was not effective,
Nine. de Martlgny swallowed a vial
of laudannn1, which she had concealed
in her handkerchief.
1t was reported that the would-be
suicide had been Influenced to act as
she did by the dramatic spectacle
but developmehts indicate that the
case was, one Of restitution and des.

1000 MILES TO PULL TOOTH.
Rev. w. w. Wndden Travelled from
Brazil to New York.
From the Baltimore Sur

From the Baltimore Sun.
New York, March 13-Dr. Robert
Strobridge, a dentist of 81 West Seven
tieth street, administered cocaine to
the jaw of Rev. W. w. WaddelI. a
Presbyterian missionary, stationed in
the interior of Brazil, 100 miles inland
from the port of Bahia, and with lit
tie or no difficulty extracted the root
of the second bicuspid from the left
side of the missionary's lower jaw.
The dentist has extracted many teeth
during his professional career but
never before has he had a patient who
had left a home 1900 miles away, and
after bidding a fearful farewell to his
wife and family travelled for twenty
days over land and sea, traversing
nearly fifth of the circumference of
the globe to have a tooth pulled.
Mr.. Waddell has been a missionary
in Brazil for several years. Six months
I ago Mr.. Waddell noticed a swelling and
| soreness in his left lower jaw.
The thought gained possession of
Mrs. Waddelrs mind that her husband
was suffering from cancer. She urged
him to go to Bahia and have a ply
sician examine the affection. Then the
swelling broke and became n running
sore in his mouth. Mr. Waddell Wis
tied Bahia and called on the foremost
medical man of the city who thought
| the case demanded the attention of a
| great specialist.
BY great sacrifices they raised the
| money for the trip to New York, and

The missionary arrived here early
Thursday morning. At 1880 o'clock he

| and told the surgeon not to spare him,

| DR.. Eliot in a moment. You have an
liberated tooth"
But doctor" said Rev. Mr.. Waddell,
IT thought
That's all; an liberated tooth. Get
the root pulled out and you'll be all
right. Good day"
And that is why DR.. Strobridge
wrapped the ancient root of the second
bicuspid from Rev w. w. Waddelrs
lower left jaw in tissue foil and took
it home for his collection of curiosities.

OVATION FOR CHAMBERLAIN.
concentrations of the City of Lon
don rendered Him.

London, March 2O.-ColoniaI Secre-
tary Chamberlain to-day received the
city of London's congratulations on his
mission to South Africa in the Guild
Hall, where Lord Mayor Samuel and
the corporation presented him with an
address of welcome in the presence OF
large gathering of distinguished
representatives of politics. the serv-
ices. art, science, the church, the law
and the drama. Among those present
were Premier Balfour, most of the
cabinet ministers. the Archbishop of
Canterbury, Lord Roberts, the Duke
of Fife, the Duke of Argyll, Lord
Strathcona, Lord Lister, Vice Admit
raj Lord Charles Beresford: Signor
Marconi, Sir Thomas Upton and Sir
Henry Irving. Many ladies were also
present to extend greetings to Mrs.
Chamberlain.
Mr.. and Mrs Chamberlain, who
drove to the Guild Hall in an open
landau, received a remarkable well
come from the expectant crowds, who
in their enthusiasm here and there
broke through the police lines and
surrounded the carriage.
Long and prolonged cheers and the
waving of handkerchiefs greeted Mr.
Chamberlain on his rising to reply to
the address presented in the Guild
Hall. The secretary's speech was
largely a reiteration of his recent
speech at Southampton. He said he
was convinced that everything was in
train for a united South Africa under
the British flag.
The secretary added that he found no
trace among the British in South Afri-
ca of vindictive feeling against the
Beers. He expressed his admiration of
the dignified way in which the burgh-
ers had accepted the result of the ap-
peal to arms. and continued
The only fruit which we desire from
the war is the friendship of those who
were so recently fighting u.s."
The conciliatory spirit displayed in
this sentence pervaded the entire
speech
Subsequently Mr.. and Mrs. Chamber
lain and about 300 other persons were
entertained by the Lord Mayor at
luncheon in the mansion house. Mr..
Chamberlain received another ovation.

ent was a critical period in the history

MARSHAL'S POSSE
BUT DID ITS DUTY.
Report of the Grand Jury Is Adj
verse to the Miners.

Report of the Grand Jury Is Adj
verse to the Miners.
Charleston. w. Va, March 2O--The
special report of the federal grand jury
in Judge Kellar's court was made pub
lie tonight by permission of Attorney
General Knox, TO whom it was taken
by District Attorney Atkinson. The
GRAND jury assigns for a reason for
making a special report the fact that
there had been grave violations of the
law, ending in bloodshed and that
wide newspaper notoriety, with gross
Misrepresentation, had been given the
the affair and great injury done the
officers of the court.
The report says that Deputy Mar
shall Cunningham was compelled to
leave Atkinsville by a mob of miners
when he attempted to serve writs, mar
rowly escaping with his life.
The report says that a mob of 200
or 300 men, all armed, marched to
Stamford City. evidently for the pur-
pose of resisting the execution Of pro-
cess of the court by armed force. To
cope with this mob posses were organ
lied by Sheriff Cook of Raleigh Coun-
ty and Deputy Marshal Cunningham
The report describes the fight at STAN
afford City, Feb. "a, between the posses
and strikers, saying that the trouble
began when Stonewall Jackson, a ne
gro. refused to admit officers to a
cabin containing eleven men and sew
enteen guns. Jackson fired on the
posse, which returned the fire, killing
two or three of the inmates. The re-
port says:
mo shots were fired by any men,
Der of the posse, until they had been
first fired upon by the strikers; that
Deputy Marshal Cunningham and
Sheriff Cook positively instructed their
men to use no violence nor to use their
arms, unless in protection of their lives,
which order, as far as the evidence be-
fore us goes, was strictly obeyed."
The report recounts the efforts of
Chris Evans, organizer of the United
I Mine Workers. to prevent resistance to
the serving of the writs and goes on
to say that the mob was composed
largely of the lawless ele-
ment of the community or
strangers who had come in
there to take advantage of the 1awless-
ness originating with and fostered by
the United Mine Workers in the vicln-
ity of the trouble.
A report, signed by thirteen members
of the grand jury, praises the conduct
of Deputy Marshal Cunningham and
Sheriff Cook

CASE OF THE WABASH.
Has Now Been Left With the Court
For a Decision.

st. Louis, Mo-, March 20.-Argu-
ments in the Wabash injunction suit
were concluded this afternoon, and the
case was taken under advisement by
Judge Adams. He gave no irtimation
of how much time he might require to
prepare his opinion. but the attorneys
declared, after the adjournment OF
court, that they would look for a de-
cision in about a week or ten DAYS.
Judge Priest, who made the final ar
gument for the company, alluded to
the reported statement of ]. R.. Court
ney, of the grievance committee, that
the men would arbitrate, but would
not let the railroad select any of the
arbitrator. Judge Priest declared that
the railway company had been will
ing to arbitrate.

men, who was seated behind F. N.
Judson, chief counsel for the defend
ants, leaned quickly forward and spoke
a few words to the attorney, who at
once interrupted Judge Priests argu-
ment
Are you willing to settle this thing
in that manner" Mr.. hudson asked.
Il am here to answer the argument
made by the gentleman" said Judge
Priest. Il have no authority to speak,
either for Mr.. Ramsey or for the Wa
bash road, upon such a question"
Instantly Mr.. Judson was on his feet,
saying, Il wish to say, speaking both
for the trainmen and the firemen, that
we are willing to accept arbitration of
a tribunal provided for under the acts
of Congress-"
THE gentlemans afterthought Is
better than his forethought," retorted
Judge Priest, and he resumed his argu-
ment
In summing up the evidence Mr. Jud-
son declared that the sole jurisdiction
possessed by the court came through
violations of the interstate commerce
law. These violations must be illegal
in the means used to attain an end, or
illegal in the ends sought and there
bad been nothing shown, he declared
to indicate that either the end sought
or the means used to attain it were
against the law, and therefore the en-
tire case fell to the ground.
Judge Priests argument was devoted
to a summary of the evidence, ne
claiming that there was such ample
proof of a conspiracy as to justify
Judge Adams in the continuance of the
Injunction

GOES THE JUDGES.
To-day Securities Company Case
VIII BE in Their Hands.

VIII Be In Their Hands.
ST. Louis, Mo, March, 20.-Argu-
ments in defense of the Northern Sc
curities Company, on trial here before
the United States Circuit Court for the
district of Minnesota, closed to-day,
and the case will be placed finally in
the hands of the four judges to-
morrow.
During the three days of arguments
the attorneys for the defendant have
occupied nine hours, and up to adj
journment tonight, the government
has taken fiye hours for presentation
of arguments.
c. w. Bum of st. Paul counsel for
the Northern Pacific Railroad Com
pany, opened to-day's session. and for
mer Attorney General Griggs closed
the case for the Northern Securities
Company. The last hour of the ses-
sion was occupied by Special Counsel
T. D. Watson of Pittsburg, who closed
the case for the government. He was
talking when court adjourned for the
day, and he expects to conclude by
noon tomorrow. The famous merger
case will then be in the hands of the
court for decision.
Attorney c. w. Bum endeavored to
show that, prior to this case, there
never had been a suggestion that a con-
solidation of railway interests was a
violation of the antitrust act of July
2, 1890.
In concluding for the defendants, for
mer Attorney General Griggs asserted
that the purpose of the antitrust act
was to control the operations of in
dividuals engaged in commerce, and
not to control the ownership of corpor-
atins so engaged. He asserted that a
man or men can buy all the property
he or they have the capital to and law
cannot state the amount of that pur-
chase.

TEST FOR DIAMONDS.
There are Very Many Ways of De-
tectinR limitations.

From the London Express.
Anyone can tell genuine diamond or
precious stone even from a very clever
imitation. There are a few household
tests which are practically infallible
The diamond expert, after long expert
ence with gems, can detect an imita-
ton, as a rule, at a glance. The lay
man in such matters, with few sim1
pie tests, takes more time to solve
such problems, but his judgment in
the end is scarcely less accurate.
An imitation diamond is never so
brilliant as a genuine stone. If your
eye is not experienced enough to detect
the difference, a very simple test is to
place the stone under water. The imi-
tation stone is practically extinguished
while a genuine diamond sparkes even
under water and lis distinctly visible.
When possible place a genuine stone
beside the possible imitation under wa
ter and the contrast will be apparent
to the least experienced eyes.
The glass-cutting test is, of course
more or less familiar. 1t is probably
the most common. False diamonds are
usually cut more regularly than the
genuine stones. In cutting a diamond
the material is saved so far as possible.
In any imitation the material is itself
worthless, and no effort is made TO suit
the size or angle of the facets to the
form Of the stone. 1t can be put down
as a safe rule that when a stone is cut
with great evenness and regularity 1t
is, to say the least, a very suspicious
sign.
Another very simple and effective
test is to place a drop of water on the
stone and carefully observe the result.
The stone should be first carefully
cleaned. On an imitation diamond the
drop, however small, will delquesce.
The drop will, however, retain its orig
inal shape on true stone. To make
the test quite sure use a magnifying
glass when watching the action of the
drop.
