finest stone in existence. The Floren- tine, or Grand Duke of Tuscany, be- longing to the Austrian crown collec- ton, Is yellow stone weighing little over 133 carats. The Star of the South, a remarkably fine stone, was picked up along the river Bogageno. Brazil, by a negress in 1853. It is the largest diamond ever discovered In South America, weighing 254 1-2 carats in the rough. Its weight, cut Is 124 carats. The Portugues crown jewel. Brazil. weighing 300 carats uncut, and once valued at $2.e00, 900. Is now known to be a white topaz and not genuine diamond. The Tiffany diamond. re- markable for its yellow color. has weight of 125 carats; and the Hope diamond has a rare blue color. which gives 1t value of $250.000. even though its weight Is but A 1-4 carats.
 The Sancy. 53 1-2 carats. has a re- markable history, which has been trac- ed back to 1477, when 1t was. lost at the battle of Nancy by Charles the Bold. Then it came finally through private hands to Sancy. a Huguenot nobleman. While Sancy was an Ambassador in Solothurn the diamond was sent to Henry III as a pledge. The bearer or the gem was attacked on the way and killed; but he swallowed the gam in. stead of giving 1t up to his assailants. 50 that Sancy recovered the stone by opening the body of his faithful ser- want and taking the precious gem from his stomach. In 1888 1t came into the possession of James II, and later was worn by Louis XIV at his coronation. In 1885 the Russian Emperor bought 1t for 50o,000 rubles. In 1889 1t was again in the market, and was finally sold to a collector for $70,oo0.

"The Graft-stricken City"

1HiCdRO ReCOrQ-fteralQ.
 The report of the Cook County grand jury will be memorable event in the history of Chicago It may indeed mark turning point in the relations between the employers and workmen of the city. So fair is the report that its lessons will sink in more deeply the longer they are pondered over. No employer can say that the report Is the work of demagogues. No union man can toss 1t aside as the voice of capitalism" The jury would have done better indeed had it published to all the world the names of the brtbe- giving employers. These men have offended so grievously that they can have no possible claim to leniency But that omission Is not a grave defect In the report. The offenders are well enough known to their business ac- quaintances. and they VIII daily have reason to feel that a stigma Is upon them.

SAYS HE WAS SHANGHAIED.
Man IS Years of Age Files Charges
Against Sea Captain.

New York, Sept. 22.-John Powell, Sc
years old, who says he was shanghaied,
will appear before Vice Consul Smithers
today to. press charges against Captain
Munro of the British ship Canada
Powell swore out affidavits yesterday.
The alleged capture of the old man took
place at Gulfport, Miss. He esca ped at
Rie de Janeiro and followed the Can
ada to New York. Yesterday the Can
ada paid off here and Powell found the
captain in the office of the British con-
sulate.
Powell described himself last night
as a laborer engaged in handling ium-
Der, his home address being in Mobile,
Ala He was employed at Gulfport
when the Canada took on cargo or
lumber there for Rio de Janeiro- She
signed several new hands, but she was
still four men short of her full crew, IT
is said, the proper number being 70 men.
From the streets of Gulfport about y
o'clock in the evening, he declares, he
was shanghaied. "Twisters' were put
on his right hand he said, and he was
placed aboard a tug where he says ne
met Captain Munro to whom he pro-
tested However, he was carried to the
Canada, which sailed within thirty min
uteS.
Until the ship reached Rio de Janeiro
the old man had to do his share OF the
work in wind and storm. The work
came hard on him and he determined
when he reached Rio &c Janeiro 20 fight
for his release. When the ship made
port the captain went ashore to the
CONSUL Powell followed He declared
he got no satisfaction from the British
consul Nor did he get any money from
the captain.
The old man had to beg food. He
hung around the docks looking for
ship to take him to New York, whittier
the Canada was bound. He found one
in the bark Egeria. Rough weather
favored the old mans cause, for it bad
w flampered the Canada, and almost
on the heels of each other the two yes
sells arrived in New York.
Lawyer Abbott examined the articles
of the Canada yesterday at the British
consulate He says Powelrs name does
not appear on the list of the crew as
it would had he signed
At the hearing today Captain Munro
will have a, chance to explain Powells
presence on his ship. He declares the
old man was not shanghaied and that
he is willing to pay him for the work
he did.

Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
g About two years ago was great suf-
ferer from a severe female trouble, pains and
headaches. The doctor prescribed for me and
finally told me that l had a tumor on the
womb and must undergo an operation if
wanted to get well / felt that this was my
death warrant but / spent hundreds of dol
lars for medical help, but the tumor kept
growing. Fortunately | correspondent with
an aunt in the New England States, and she
advised me to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound, as it was said to cure tu-
mors. l did SO and Immediately began to
improve in health, and was entirely cured,
the tumor disappearing entirely, without
operation. / wish every suffering woman
would try this great preparation"

cured of the troubles enumerated in
her letter, just so surely will Lydia e.
