A Young Mems Christian Associn-
ton in Arkansas.

In the town of Stamps, Ark, mill
settlement OF about 10000 population.
one half of which is colored, the Bod
cav Lumber Company and the Louis
VILE and Arkansas Railroad, combined
to erect Young Mems Christian As
ISOLATION building The big mill, which
runs day and night, employs 600 men.
and although the men work on the
twelVe-hour day plan, the association Is
a popular place and appreciated, espe-
cially the bath rooms. At night men
come to the building picking their way
by lanterns, as there is no street in
the town to walk on in wet weather.
There are no ministers located in the
town, although two ministers come
there, each once a month, to hold serv-
ices, and these are kept busy on SUM-
day afternoons performing marriage
ceremonies. Speakers FOR meetings,
teachers for classes, entertainers for en-
tertainments, il Is impossible to secure.
This association provides the social
and wholesome entertainment for the
town. The reading room, library.
game room and gymnasium are popular
places. A commercial traveller visit
ing the town noticed the building. and
learning about the association took
out membership ticket such as n
universally issued by the association
good in all branches. on returning
month later, he found that the interest
had grown TO enthusiasm and that his
ticket was good anywhere. He is now
advocating an association In his own
town. declaring that that kind of a
thing ought 10 exist IN every place,
The secretary IN this place Is exerting
"a wholesome influence over men who
are working amid surroundings which
are not conducive 10 the making OF
Christian character.

PEARLS AND EMERALDs SCARCE.
Dealers Have to Resort to Private
Sources to Meet the Demand
From the New York Times


Sources to Meet the Demand
From the New York Times.
Pearls and emeralds have become so
scarce that precious stone dealers are
obliged to obtain them from private
sources to satisfy the demand. This
condition of the market has been COM
ing on gradually, until now it is an
important feature in the buying and
selling of the stones. 1t is not so much
the result of an increased demand, al
though pearls are becoming more pop
ular each year, as on account of a
falling off in the worlds supply of
gems.
The decrease in the worlds output
of emeralds during the past few years
has been such as to cause grave alarm
among the most conservative of pre-
cious stone dealers in New York and
London. Unless new mines are dis
covered soon it is not unlikely that
emeralds will become the rarest pre-
cious stone in the world. AS the con-
dition of the market Is now, they are
worth dn stones larger than five carats
from two to ten times as much as first
water diamonds. Several stones now
in the hands of New York dealers are
worth from $4,000 to $4,000 apiece
while they range from 10 to 80 carats
in size, and are not free from imper-
fections.
In spite of the fact that emeralds
were among the earliest stones mined
by the ancients, and have since been
discovered in different parts of the
globe, there is practically but one coun-
try in the world to-day where they are
still being mined at profit. And even
the mines there are not considered
valuable enough to merit an expendi-
ture of money for improvements and
more modern machinery, and are still
being worked by the same crude
method that was employed almost a
century ago.
Within the past fifty or sixty years
emeralds have been discovered in Rus
STA, on the Asiatic slope of the Ural
mountains In Austria, Australia and in
North Carolina. Mines were opened
at all these places and companies form
ed to work them, bat in a short time
they were abandoned as profitless, in
some cases the quality Of stones be-
ing too poor and in other cases the
cost of mining too great. The pres
ent supply comes from Peru, South
America, from what is known as the
Muzo district.
The method OF obtaining the gems
from private sources Is unique. Indl-
viduals known 10 have large collections
OF precious stones are communicated
with, and offered double the amount
they paid for an emerald In many
gases advertising and personal solicit
tatiOn are resOrted 10. and stones have
recently been. obtained by dealers al
a cost three times a. great as the same
stone was valued az ten or fifteen
years ago. Because the emerald was
originally an oriental stone, and WAS
known % BIZ quite plentiful Ia the days

STRIKE ON AT LOWELL.
knitters, Too, May BE Called on to
Participate.

Lowell, Mass, March 30.-Organized
textile labor to-day showed It's strength
in the shutdown of the seven largest
cotton mills here, and, not content
with this, the textile council, the dele
gate body of the local unions, consid-
cred the ACCESSIBILITY of compelling an
even wider application of the shutdown
order by bringing about a strike in
the Lawrence Hosiery.
This hosiery was exempted from the
strike order last week, the knitter's
union being permitted to remain neutral
at is had shown that it had no griev-
ance either in wages or time schedule.
The council tonight did not find the
proposition well received, and the out
look is now favorable for a strike of
the. knitters.
This incident was the chief one of
the first day of the unprecedented
shutdown of the big cotton mills in
Lowell. To-day operatives wore their
best clothes and promenaded the side
walks, no smoke came from the tall
mill chimneys and there was an abb
sence of the hum of industry which
marks a rushing, busting New Eng
occurred at the mill gates, through
which some operatives passed at diff
ferent times, and nothing occurred on
the streets or at the meeting place of
the strikers to bring forth criticism.

SPECIAL CARTRIDGES
MAY DE FURNISHED MILITIA FOR
RIFLE PRACTICE.
CHARGES WOULD BE REDUCED
TO ADAPT THE KRAGs To THE
SPRINGFIELD RANGES.

senator Bacon Called on Adjutnnt
General COrbin and Had a Talk
with Him About Rife Practice.
This Was at the Instance of GeOr-
Eia Omcers-GemeraI COrbin APP

By r. NJ. Larner.
Washington, March 30.-The posi-
bility of manufacturing special Krag-
Jorgensen cartridges for target prac-
tice is being considered by the officials
of the War Department.
The matter was brought to the at
tention of Gen. Corbin to-day by Sen
ator Bacon, who called to talk with
him, at the instance of some of the
militia officers of Georgia, concerning
rifle range facilities in view of the
equipment of the militia with the rifle
now used by the regular army.
Senator Bacon pointed out that the
rifle ranges of the militia in Georgia,
and doubtless in other states, have
been laid out for the Springfield rifle,
which has range of about 1000 yards.
The Krag-Jorgensens have a range
of from one to two miles, and militia
officers have suggested that an attempt
to use these rifles with their present
cartridges on the present shooting
grounds would probably involve great
danger.
Gen. Corbin said that he would take
the matter under consideration. OF
course it is necessary for the militia to
have practice with the arm which they
are to use. Gen. Corbin said that it
seemed to him the most practical thing
would be to have a special cartridge
made for practice at targets at prac-
tically the same distance as now pro-
vided for the Springfield rife.
Senator Bacon left for his home in
Macon tonight. He has been select
ed as one of the two senators to serve
upon the visiting board to the United
States Military Academy at West
Point at the commencement in the
middle of June, but with perhaps this
exception, he will spend his summer
in Georgia.
