FAKE DIAMONDS.

Judge Mcmahon, in General Sessions
in New York, yesterday instructed act
ing District Attorney Mott to call the at
tention of the grand jury to the practice
which many pawnbrokers have adopted
of substituting fake diamonds for valu-
able stones pawned with them. Only
few davs ago Arthur Yost was arrested
for having stolen diamond earrings worth
500 from Rose Goldfish. Yost pleaded
guilty before Judge Mcmahon and was
sent to the Elmira RefOrmatOry. he
told the police that he had pawned the
earrings at Louis Rosenberg pawn shop.
Rosenberg was summoned and ordered
to turn the earrings over TO Mrs. Gold
fish. Mrs. Goldfish got back what she
thought we're her earrings. When she
went home that night she began to wor-
~. The diamonds did not sparkle. She
became suspicious, aud examined them
by the gasliskt. They looked all right
as to size and shape, but there was not
the same lusier.
The next day she consulted several
jewellers. They tod her that she had
pieces of glass for diamonds. Then she
went to the jeweler from whom she
bought her earrings, and heinformed her
that she had the cheapest kind OF glass
in the earrings. Without getting any
more advice Mrs. Goldfish carried her
story to Judge Mcmahon. He sent for
the pawnbroker. Rosenberg has been
in business number Of years. He said
be had given the thief $25, and that he
had been fooled, too. He thought the
pieces of glass were real diamonds, he
said.
Judge McMahon said
"a short timeago friend ofmine who
stops at the Manhalt Club lost a pin
worth 81 800. He told inc aboutit and
| had the detective bureau make an inves-
tigation. A bellbOy was suspected and
arrested. He admitted his guilt and told
where the pin had been pawned.
"The pin was cheerfully returned to
nv friend. who identified it as his
property, by the pawnbroker. lie was
nightly pleased getting the pin back
He decided to be more careful of the PIN,
and one day went to jewelry establish
ment TO have the stones, diamond and
emeraIds, tightened in their settings.
Great was his shock when he was told by
the ieweler that very good limitations had
been substituted for the originals.
When the news got along Broadway
last night that an investigation would be
made there was good deal Of worry
among the sports who have had their
"uncles' minding headlights during the
summer. 1t was noticed that number

Kongo Tattooing.

In the Kongo colonies Of Belgium
both men and women are tattooed ac-
cording to their status in society. a
woman of high caste will have de.
sign not unlike zouave jacket worked
upon her back, and it would seem that
the native is as content with this mode
of covering as If it were substitute
for clothing. BY injecting the Juice OF
certain herbs the scars left by the tat
tooing process retain swollen ap.
pearance, giving the effect Of bas-relief
work. The thorns of the acacia are
generally used as a needle, while 9
certain black clay is used as colorine
medium.
