Diamonds For Breakfast.

If any one thinks that diamonds in
the morning" are all evidence Of bad
breeding. a musical morning in the
Waldorf's grand ballroom would con-
vince him to the contrary. All the
women of fashion are laden with
gems, and, although tiaras and dog
collars are tabooed, diamond chains
and glittering brooches are used freely.
1t is bit incongruors when a woman
wears a $1,000 corsa:;e ornament with
a cloth walking suit, But the women
who buy the boxes for princely sums
and whose names are high in the list
of persons of fashion in New York
have issued the decree. One woman
carried chain OF diamonds and sew
eral pins Of great value. Another
woman, whose name is linked with
every charital le enterprise wore a
strand Of pearls of sufficient worth to
keep five families in comfort for a
year Jewel experts say pearls should
be worn moyning, noon and night. and
this seems to be the excuse for the
women wl:o wear their pearls for
breakfast. The morning attire Of the
modern New York woman is not diff
fcrent frc.n that fo- the late afternoon.
Velvet gowns, with deep cuffs Of late.
are in general favor. and the tone of
luxury Is desired above al things

WEEVIL ENEMY FOUND
GratamaIan Ant to Ee Introduced In
Cotton Growing States in Fight
Against the Pest.

The department Of agriculture at
Washington announces tnat "a ant
has been found in Guatemala that is
an effective enemy OF me boil wee
vii.
il will be Immediately introduced
in:o the cotton states. The greatest
significance is attached to the discov'
cry, which was m.de by O. F. Cook,
the botanist in charge OF tropical as
ricullural investigation Of the bureau
of plant industry. Cabled instructions
have been sent to him to report I'M
mediately to the department what as
sistance he needs in the way OF men
and money.
During a trip in Central America last
year Mr.. Cook discovered a cotton,
grown by Indians, which gave evl-
dence of being immune from the at
tacks of the boil weevil and on or
ders from the department he later be-
gan an investigation in certain points
in Guantanamo and Mexico. Mr.. Cooks
investigations have been in more or
less accessible regions in the prov
ince of Alta Vera Paz, Guatemala.
The weevils are present there, but the
investigations show that they are un'
uuestionably kept in check by the
presence of one active enemy in the
shape of a large reddish brown ant
which is attracted to the cotton by the
food which it secured from sets OF
floral hectares. Mr.. Cooks investiga-
tions show that these ants spread
themselves over fielGs Of cotton four
or five to a plant and that they are
constantly engaged in the destruction
of the boil weevil.

Panic Narrowly Averted.

What came near being a panic
among a large audience at the opera
house in Newberry the past week was
narrowly averted by the cool heads OF
a few. A very large crowd was pres
ent to hear the musicale given by
the students CT Miss Susie E. Summer,
when the cry Of fire was sounded on
the street near the theatre. With the
cry some one thoughtlessly rang the
fire bell, which is in the opera house
tower.
With this the audience arose as one
mighty mass and began to hurry for
the exits, it being the opinion OF a
great many that the building was
afire. By the GOODNESS Of few the
audience was soon quieted and IN
formed that the fire was elsewhere,
and thus checked what might have
been a stampede.
The people in the audience resumed
their seats and the concert was con-
tinued, the excitement caused by the
alarm soon dying off. Two ladies faint
ed during the excitement.

TO RESCUE cAPTIvEs.
American Wsrshirs Drop Anchor at
Tangier, Morocco.

American WsrsnlES Crop HnS"or a.
Tangier, Morocco.
According to advices from Targier,
Morocco, the United States cruiser
Brooklyn, flying the flag Of Rear Ad-
miral Chadwick, arrived there Mon
day. Othor vcc5els Of the United
States Suu ron are following. The
authoritie:, in Tangier consider that
the position Of the American, Ion Per-
c;oaris, and his stepson, Cromwell
Varley, a British subject, wno were
kidnaped by bandits headed by Raj
suli, is now more serious than be"
fore.
It is the understanding that the ad-
miral commanding the American fleet
has orders to exercise pressure upon
the Moroccan authorities to induce
them to accept Raisuli's terms. The
sultan is willing to Pay ransom and
libe.rate Raisuli's prisoners who are
now imprisoned, but Rassuli now asks
American protection for the settte-
,nent. This last condition is consid-
ere.1 dependent upon the American
government.
Rear Admiral Chadwick, 'accompa-
MED by an aide, the United States con-
sui general and two marines, visited
NJ. Torres, the representative OF the
sultan, at Tangier The interview last
ed ten minutes. after which M. Torres
returned the visit, the Brooklyn ns-
ing a salute in his honor. 49,
N. Torres has Informed the Amer
lean and the British representative
that he cannct grant Raisuli's terms.
Mr.. Gummere, the United States
consul ct Tangier, in a cablegram.
7ece:;ed at the state department Mon
day night, says that threats against
tie lives Of Raisuli's captives, Per
d:Ia.is and Varley. have been mace
unless the bandits demands are
graEted.
