GRACE OF EASTERN WOMEN.
Men, Too, Are Admirable In Figure
 and Posture.

Corwin Knapp Linson in the Metropolitan.
 Passing us occasionally. going to Je- rusalem with butter and eggs and little jars of leben that showed their thick creamy throats as they were held up to us, were small companies of women in single file. As one blue procession went by, the leader called to us: "Why should you ride and we walk2 Why is your lot better than ours?' Given the opportunity for leisurely argument we could not by any philosophy have made satisfactory answer. We could only admit the fact as they saw it, and recognize the uni- versal world-plaint of discontent.
 They carry themselves. these women. like figures on an antique frieze. As they stride along. holding in sure balance on their heads their jars and baskets of homely produce, they tread the stony paths with the grace and largeness of action that we of the Occident have grown to regard as belonging only to the age of Praxiteles.
 Then men are also admirable in the simplicity of their gestures, the big lines of their attitudes, the swing of their draperies I saw a youth fling his mantle over his shoulder and fold 1t about him exactly In the manner of the classic Greek. sculptural in his finely unconscious pose. God save the day when these sons of Canaan clothe their limbs in our un- gainly garmentsl

Artificial Diamonds,

From the Chicago Journal.
 The reward of the inventor who can produce artificial diamonds is so tempt ing that the Moisson experiments with the electric furnace which were inaugu- rated some eight or ten years ago, have been continued until the present day. They are now being carried on in the laboratory of the Serbonne in Paris.
 The first diamonds made by the cleo tric furnace were of miscropic size and few in number.
 As the work continued various modi- fications were worked out. as the ex- perience of the investigators became greater until now success seems imni- nent The crystals are positively known to partake of all the characteristics of the diamond in crystalline structure, hardness and chemical composition.
 The largest crystal yet obtained is only one-half a millimetre in length, and while this is only a spark. it indicates that the process Is capable of yielding diamonds of good quality, and that some day in the not distant future the labora- tory process of Mother Nature, as exem- plified in the Rand, may be duplicated in mans laboratory and in a commer- cial way

MISS eRAHAM's COMING OUT PARTY.

Mir and Mrs. James Franklin Graham introduced their lovely young daughter Miss Alice Graham, at reception last evening to which several huhureu iH vitations were issued.
 The approaching Christmas tide was suggested in the decorations of holly anu Christmas bells. while blending with the bright red berries were quantities or hp- ertv roses. The recent additions to the Graham residence on Twenty-first street adds to the list of Birmingham houses that are well arranged for entertaining and opened last evening for the nrst time since the house was completed the spaeiousness of the interior proving none too large for the many guests who calleo during the receiving hours.
 In the drawing room where MT. ana Mrs. Graham and Miss Graham received, the floral decorations were in liberty roses, holly, palms and ferns, and the same decorations were used in the din- ing room, where the centerpiece was large basket filled with holly and tied with broad crimson satin ribbon. lace cover was overlaid one of red satin, and single candlesticks in crystal, their shades in the holly tint attended with tall vases of meteor roses. The coffee and punch rooms were similarly decorated.
 Mrs. Graham was assisted in receiving by Miss Taylor of Demopolis, who wore a Frenchy gown ot pale green mousseline
 The young debuntante has participated in so many of the social events of this season that she needed no invitation to many of the guests She wore very effective gown of white mussaline silk and lace, and carried white roses. She in- herits much of the charm of manners that has made her mother one of the most popular women in society, and she is considered one of the prettiest girls to enter society this winter.
 Receiving with MT. and Mrs. Graham and Miss Graham were many friends both in the older and younger sets. Among the friends of the debutante were several of this and last seasons buds, Miss Grace Hardie, Miss Mary Anderson, Miss Bes- sic Jemison, Miss Fannie Dunn, Miss Marie Hudgins.

Autos and overshoes.

From the New York World.
 Automobiles have raised the price of overshoes and rubber boots. Para rub Der, which a year ago could be bought for less than $1 a pound is now worth s1.SO. Before bicycles were popular the same grade of rubber could be had for fifty cents.
 The demand for rubber tires for bi- cycles increased the price of rubber fifty per cent. The automobiles with their heavy weight require proportionately more rubber for their tires and rubber shoes correspondingly go up in price.
 The luxuries of the rich thus pinch the toes of the poor.

$4,000 men. The original fight was
begun over the wages of less than

Paris, April 14.-The correspondent
of the Matin at st. Petersburg sends
the following:
"a high parsonage at court has given
me the details received by the en-
peror, according to which Vice Admiral
Makaroff went out on the Petropav-
lovsk to ascertain the position of the
Japanese fleet. After he had been
out for an hourlhe saw several vessels
which retired. Shortly afterward he
perceived the Japanese squadron Of
thirty vessels and not being strong
enough to attack, he returned to Port
Arthur. When two miles outside the
entrance an explosion literally hurled
the battleship out of the water, com
pletely ov%erturning her. Grand Duke
Cyril, five other officers and a couple
of score of men alone managed to swim
to land.
"Vice Admiral Makaroff's plan Of
campaign was lost with him.
"Grand Duke Cyril is suffering only
from slight Commissions.
1T is not known whether the catas-
trophe was due to a floating mine or
to a Japanese submarine vessel. The
Japanese certainly witnessed the catas-
trOphe."

been the issue of the combat between
Rear Admiral Ouktomsky and the
Japanese fleet, or whether a fight has
actually taken place, is not known, in
st. Petersburg. s
Despite official and private dis
patches, the belief continues that
many details of the catastrophe to the
Petropavloysk have been concealed by
the admiralty.
The terrible news from Port Arthur
has plunged the city into the deepest
gloom.

SUNK BY THE JAPANESE.
Rumored That the Petropavlovsk Was
T~orpedoed.

Rumored That the Petropavlovsk Was
Torpedoed.
London, April 14.-No actual news
has yet reached London beyond the
Russian official kilograms, but dis
patches from Weihaiwei induce the
confident belief here that a naval en-
gagement occurred off Port Arthur. of
q severe character and that later tele-
grams will show that the Russians suf-
fered q severer loss than is yet ad-
mitted.
A rumor has reached Rome that
Vice Admiral Makaroff's squadron was
attacked by the whole Japanese feet,
concealed behind the Miaotao islands,
and his retreat was cut off and he was
forced to fight against odds with the
result that all his ships were dam
aged, while the Petropalovsk was sur
rounded by torpedo boats, struck by
five torpedoes and blown up.
Another rumor is to the effect that
Rear Admiral Molas is among those
killed aboard the Petropavlovsk.
The universal opinion here is that
the official explanations of the disas-
ter are unsatisfactory.

Sentence of Boy Who Worked Slot
Machines.
For the purpose OF getting even with
slot machines which had robbed him of
about S25 in Leavenworth, Joseph Van
Horn will have to spend six months in
the Atchison county jail. He made
slugs which looked like quarters, to
work the machines and the govern
ment officers put him under arrest
for cOunterfeiting. Judge Pollock
made the punishment as light as he
could and sent Van Horn to the coun-
ty jail rather than to the penitentiary,
because he believed that the boys in
tehuons and character were not such
as to warrant a drastic sentence.
Van Horn is about 10 years old and
has been working in a brick yards in
Leavenworth. He is known as an hon
est hard working boy. His attorneys
asked for a light sentence because
their client had not attempted to pass
the money, but simply used it as slugs
in the slot machines. They also asked
that he be sent to the Atchison county
Jail. because his parents live in that
town and could come and see him
there
