How Diamonds are Cut.

So far, Europe has been the center
of the diamond-cutting industry. In
Amsterdam there are more than $1,000
cutters, in Antwerp 5000, in the Jura
Mountain district 600, in Paris 200
and in London only $50. They are
divided into three classes, cleavers,
shapers and polishers. The cleaver
examines the rough diamond, and if
he finds a flaw cuts it into as many
perfect gems as the grain of the car.
bon will permit. For this purpose the
rough stone is set in mold to which
it is securely attached with aluminium,
and then applied to the cutting tool
circular saw about 5 inches in diam
eter, made of soft copper, with a mix.

are in Louisiana alone; number Of
these, however, are among people who
have come from Southern Europe. In
something like 100 cases the disease
was contracted in this country.
For Federal Supervision.
Senator W. M. Crane, who succeed
ed the late Senator Hoar, at the last
session of Congress introduced bill
providing for government supervision.
1t was passed by the Senate, but
when 1T came up for consideration
at the hands of the Representatives,
Delegate Rodey of New Mexico,
smarting under the sting left by the
failure of his statehood plans, charged
that the provision in this bill which
planned to locate a leper colony on
some abandoned military reservation
was, in fact, plan to foist the
"unclean" upon New Mexico, as there
are several abandoned reservations in
that territory.

1t is believed that Senator Crane pro-
poses to again introduce this bill ear
ly in the next session. 1t will be in
troduced in a somewhat different man
ner from the old one. 1t will provide
for a "Lepers Home" instead Of
"Leprosarium" as this latter term
conveyed the impression that the dis
ease was more prevalent in the Unit
ed States than it really is.
To Search For Cure.
Leprosy was regarded by the Israel
ties as incurable. In fact the records
Of ancient times show the great fear
in which it has always been held.
Medical science has learned little or
nothing regarding leprOsy. One of
the strongest arguments for the care
of the "unclean" is, that such an insti-
tuition would make possible careful
study of the disease and, perhaps, in
time result in the discovery of a
cure. There is a government institu-
ton for the care of lepers in Hawaii,

paafnesa Cannot Be Cured

BY local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of tho ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional rom
edies. Deafness is caused by an In
famed condition of the mucous lining
Of the Eustaehian tube. When this
tube is inHamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
IL is entirely closed. Deafness Is the
result, and, unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed foreverj nine cases out Of
ten are caused by Catarrh, which Ia
nothing but an inhamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case Of Deafness Caused by
catarrh that cannot be cured by Halls

42 Deaths and iss Cases.

New Orleans, July 26.-Six deaths
from yellow fever were recorded to-
day up TO 6 p. M, making total to
date of AZ.
The number of new cases reported
yesterday, but compiled to-day, is IL,
making all told to date 1855.
There are now 10 foci of infection.
The organization of forces for
fighting the spread of the infection
and for a campaign of education and
practical application of the mosquito
sxtermination plans has been com
pleted, and besides 100 men put on
as extras to clean cutters by the city.
Three hundred and fifty men are
working as part of the system of sani-
tation. Citizens are being organized
in wards and these ward clubs will
form precinct clubs, and house to
house canvas will be made to assure
the screening of every cistern and the
oiling of every cess pool and water
pond. The business men have pro-
vided funds for this work, and as the
people are now aroused to the neces-
sity for action, there will be no let up.

Fury Of Fire Spent.

Houston, Tex, July 25.-After
twety-six hours of burning with vol
canic fury, it is believed the Humble
oil field fire is in fair way to spend
it's fury. Working under the greatest
difficulty and at the imminent peril
of their lives hundreds of workmen
threw up embankments between the
burning oil tanks and those not yet
on fire, and this, in large measure,
contributed toward stopping the
flames. 1t was impossible to do any
thing with those burning, but since
it is now believed the further spread
of the fire is prevented, the oil in the
burning district is nearly exhausted.
Three million barrels of crude oil
have been destroyed, twelve lives lost
and property wiped away to the value
of $1,500,000. OF the twelve dead
all were negroes. Only six of the
bodies have been recovered, all of
them being charred beyond recogni-
tion.

The Blue Ridge Road.

The Charleston News and Courier
editorially discusses the probable
completion of the Blue Ridge railroad
as follows:
"The Blue Ridge railroad is to be
finished on the lines of the original
survey. The company has been re.
organized with Col. A. B. Andrews
as president. He was engaged,
when boy of IL, in the construc-
tion of the road and gave up his
employment there to enter the Con-
federate army, where he fought for
four years with distinguished GAL
lantry. He has come back in his
maturer years to complete the work
in which he was engaged more than
forty years ago. 1t is one of the
ambitions of his life to drive the
Blue Ridge railroad through the
mountains, and we have no doubt
that he will be sustained in his eff
forts by the great Southern Railway
corporation, of which he now is the
first vice president. The completion
of the Blue Ridge road would mean
a great deal for Charleston ana the
State, and we trust that all possible
assistance will be extended to Col.
Andrews in his work"

Effects OF Prohibition In Gaffney.

In letter to Hon. B. f. Crayton,
of Anderson, Hon. Thos. B. Butler,
State Senator from Cherokee county,
has the following to say of the con-
ditions in that county since the dis
pensaries were voted out:
"Our police court has not the old
familiar cases of drunk and dis
orderly to dispose of it has practi-
cally ceased. Our streets are clear
of the drunken, reeling men; our
roadways are free from drunken
brawls; our people are happier and
have more money to spend for some
thing to eat and wear-in fact the
difference is so great and noticeable
and results so beneficial that any one
who has doubts as to the proper way
to vote on the question would never
hesitate if they could really see US
as we are, buo'when the time came
would vote No Dispensary' and as
often as an opportunity presented
itself. In round numbers one hun
dred thousand dollars was spent for
liquor in this county annually and
out of that amount a very small
amount came back to the tax payers,
so you will see that, at least, a very
liberal allowance for purchases that
may be made elsewhere, ninety five
thousand dollars of the 100000 is
here among sober people.
"a strong moral sentiment of our
people, active and vigilant police
officers, magistrates who aid in the
enforcement of the laws, a sheriff
always determined--a blind tiger
cannot operate in this county any
length of time. In short the moral
condition of our people is infinitely
better than it was when we had the
dispensaries.
"There was one thing noticeable
in the vote against the dispensary,
the largest percentage of the vote
was cast by the mill operatives and
the farmers, and 30 many have told
me since that the beneficial results
to them were beyond measure.
"The above is brief statement of
the condition here, and feel safe in
saying that if another vote was to be
cast on the same subject under simi-
lar circumstances, the vote against
JNe dispensary would even be greater
tha it was here in last November,
IA. 4 hen it was five to one"
