Cake With Diamond Trimmings

It gives to the jewel lover a. turn to think of a $1,000 ring lurking in a cake, says the New York Press. This was the experience of Boston girl recently. She decided to make her wedding cake herself. and in the course of the operation she lost a big and beauteous diamond from her finger
 She did not miss it until the cake was finished. Fearing it had been lost in the dough, yet not liking to disturb this triumph of culinary art, she call ed the aid of science and posed the cake for an X-ray photograph. It was found to be in the center of the cake, and though she was thankful that her treasure was restored to her the mar ring of the cakes smooth surface to regain 1t was a sad event from the careful housewife's standpoint.

JAPANESE FAMINE SCENES.
Natives So Destitute That Children Are Sold to Procure Neces- saries of Life.

Five hundred thousand people are starving in the famjne-stricken dis, tricts of Japan, according to Tokid newspapers. An observer says: T travelled through miles of country GOV. cred with green rice, unripened and unreaped. Only eight per cent. will pay for harvesting. There are cases where parents are selling their chil- dren. One typical case is as follows: A girl, nine years old, was offered as servant for about one dollar, but the purchaser, on seeing the wretched condition of her dress, would only pay 36 cents. With this small sum the parents started for Hokkaido to find work, leaving an old grandmother in the house.
 'This district has sent many sol diers to the front the same writer says. "One man who recently returned instead of being welcomed with Ban zais!' found all his family gone to oth. CT provinces to seek work, He event ually left, declaring that after the Manchurian fare he was unable to eat the scanty and miserable food offered him at home. Wholesale emigration to other provinces is going on. The unhappy people leave stealthily at night, to avoid their creditors, talk ing small bundles of their earthly be, longings."
 In 1902 there was famine which is held partly responsible for the present trouble. In addition, when the Jap- anese soldiers left for the front the people spent their savings in en- thusiastic send-offs. The soil of the mountains and hills has been turned up, owing to the search for roots, ferns and weeds. which are made into cakes.

FIVE FOUND GUILTY
Trade Union Officers and Hired
 Slugger Convicted.
MAINTAINED 4 "WRECKING CREW"
Conspired to Terrorize Nonunion Men and Strike Breakers-Carlstrom Death Their Work-Prosecu-
 ton Has Cost s35 OOO.

CHICAGO, Dec. 30.-Five officers of the Carriage and Wagon Workers un. ion and two hired sluggers have been found guilty here of conspiracy, and all of them will be sent to the peni- tentiary unless they are granted new trials. The severest punishment was inflicted against Charles Gilhooley, leader of gang of sluggers. He was sentenced to the pehitentiary and fined $2,0OO.
 The other union men who were found guilty by the jury are Henry Newman, financial secretary of the Carriage and Wagon Workers union; Charles Casey, secretary of the union; Edward Shields, recording secretary; Charles H. Deutsch, member of the executive board; John Heiden, member of the executive board, and Marcus Looney, a hired slugger. Frank Noyak, another member of the executive board, was found not guilty.
 The specific case in which the men were tried is one of many similar cases . that have occurred in Chicago in the last few years. While Chris J. Carl strom, nonunion carriage worker, was returning home from factory where a strike was in progress he was attacked by two men and severely in jured. He died two weeks later of pneumonia, contracted, it is said, from exposure while lying on the frozen ground for several hours after he had been left unconscious by his assail- ants,
 When the department store team sters strike was under investigation as to picketing methods George Meller, a former president of the Carriage and Wagon Workers union, turned states evidence and told the state attorney of the inner workings of the union of which he had at one time been the lead ing spirit. During the disclosure Mel Ter declared that the union maintained what he termed ''wrecking crew" Meller said that his union hired slug gers to intimidate nonunion men who might desire to take the places of union strikers. He then cited the Carlstrom affair as an instance of the work of the 'wrecking crew."
 Indictments were secured against the officers of the union and the sluggers and efforts to secure jury were be- gun. During the eleven weeks that it took to secure jury 1881 veniremep were examined, and the total expense of the case up to date has been S35, 900.
 Sentence will be imposed today by Judge Chetlain, who will determine the period of confinement.

MUSIC TO Ax4NHN CARNEGIE
Steel King Rises Daily as Hymns
 Peal From Huge Organ.


 Andrew Carnegie is wakened every morning by music, says the New York Herald. Just as the clock strikes s each day the first notes of Lead, Kind ly Light" or "Silent Night his two favorites, roll out of the pipes of an i'm mense organ in his home in Fifth ave- nue, rousing the steel king for the day and starting the machinery of the household to work.
 Whether MT. Carnegie wakens when the first bars are played or whether he is gradually reused from slumber de bends, he says, on how tired he is. At any rate he believes in being brought back to consciousness by the music of some hymn he loves, so that his first thoughts will be restful, soothing and give him inspiration for the day.
 When living in his castle at Skibo, Scotland, he is awakened fifteen min utes earlier each day by music, but not by the organ, for three musicians with bagpipes stand under his window and skirl ballads that he likes to hear. At 8 o'clock they depart with native air, which the organlst takes up and works into the hymns of which Mr. Carnegie is so passionately fond. The instru- ment in his Fifth avenue house is play ed by Walter c. Gale, organist of the Broadway tabernacle, in New York, every morning, Sunday included, and for the last four years he has wakened MT. Carnegie daily by playing hymns.
 As a surprise for Christmas and a token of his respect for the man, MT. Gale and the tabernacle choir went to Mir. Carnegie's home on Sunday after noon Oec. 24) and sang for two hours. To make the surprise complete Mrs. Carnegie was taken into the plans and got the choir, thirty in all, into the din ing room, and they began to sing ''Si- lent Night" before the master of the household knew of their presence.
 Resting quietly in an armchair, he sat up quickly, every nerve full of en- ergy, as the first bar of the hymn he loves foated through the big rooms. As if petrifed he waited until he could place the direction from which the sing ing came and then softly, with bowed head, he made his way to the dining room and waited in a corner until they had finished. They sang ten hymns and Christmas carols to his delight, and when they stopped he shook hands with each one, thanked each and wished all a Merry Christmas"

An EnEineering Feat.

A remarkable engineering feat was recently performed in the construction of the immense Whitney county dam across the Yadkin river, in North Caro- lima, says the New York Tribune. A southern company laid 490 cubic yards of granite in one day. This is said to be a worlds record in dam building. At this rate the great power plant will be in operation much earlier than had been expected and by Jan. 1, 1907, will be supplying power to probably more than 200 cotton mills in North and South Carolina. The project is said to be the most gigantic ever un- dertaken by a private corporation in the south.

Holdup Joke Ended Fatally.

NOTRE DAME, Ind, Dec. 30.-Louis Roquela of Colombia, South America, student at Notre Dame HniTersity, last night shot and almost instantly killed Claude A. Bagby of Durango, Colo, when Bagby and several other students as a practical joke held up Roquela, mistaking him for another person. Several students planned a mimic holdup of friend, expecting him to pass certain point where they lay in wait. Roquela came along, and the students, thinking him their vic tim, ordered him to hold up his hands. Instead, Roquela drew a revolver and fired. The bullet struck Bagby near the heart, and he died in five minutes.
