PETERSBURG PEssIMIsTs.
Their Opposition to the Present Peace
 Movement.

St. Petersburg. June 1S-In certain quarters here envy and jealously of the United States are ilI-concealed. The entire collaps of the peace -negotia- tions was predicted yesterday and there was an almost open exultation at what is declared to be a .'rebufT to RoOse- welt" In peace circles gloomy faces are drawn at the report that Russia would insist upon The Hague, but thanks to tka personal attitude of the emperor and to the well put representa- tions ot Ambassador Meyer the threat ened diplomatic mountain has decreas- ed to a nole kill over which neSotia- tions can now proceed rapidly
 The CaZetta. which is known as the mouthpiece of the foreign office. says that nothing is yet known regarding Japan's terms. It intimates that Rus sia may not balk at an indemnity. sig nificantly stating that international control of the Chinese Eastern rail- road is possible as means of insuring the payment of indemnity. It says the plenipotentiaries will be authorized to conclude peace.
 Although the way has thus been smobthed for the peace conference op- erations in Manchuria appear to be in full march toward a big engagement. the Japanese HdNlilS puSiASu Aol W al U e-9 far as Liao Yang Chungkeng tLiao Yangwopeng), west of the Lao river 32 miles north of Fakumen.

The Ways of a Watch

The ways of a watch are past finding out. Don't try. If your watch is lazy and won't run. let our repairer spur it up. He'll make it on time to a 'ior. Ten to one you've neglected it; let it get dirty or dusty from lack of oil. Maybe given it to the baby to play with. Whatever the reason, don't de- lay. Delay costs money and spells the watch. We give thorough examination and regulating free; anything more costs as little as satisfactory work cai- be done for.

Snobbish National Theatre.

From Golfers Weekly.
 If the rcpertory theatre turns out to be a reality, as now seems likely, no better choice could have been made for it's head than Heinrich Conried $3,o00000 Is subscribed to buy an entire block and erect the building which, presumably, will be put up by architects of the first ability One feature only of the plan, as first announced. seems to lack intel- ligence, and we hope to hear later that it is less silly than it sounds. A commit tee of females prominent in society are to pass upon the social qualifications of individuals wishing to buy boxes in per petuity at S100.00 each. To introduce so mean and paltry a snob aspect would give the enterprise a body blow at the beginning. We noted with uneontrollable delight that Mr Whitelaw Reid had sue ceedng in obtaining as his secretary the son of a lord; but everybody knows why most men wish to fill the British embassy. A theatre is a different proposition. national theatre should be a peoples theatre Rich men may well found so- called national theatre, but if such an innovation is to do anything real for the drama in America the idea of cheap tor expensive) social 'smartness' had better be abandoned at the beginning. The effect of an effort for social glamour would be to make the reportory spectacular and light, and the American stage needs no hclp in that direction. Aim at the best in the public not the worst, at success to come some time from faithfulness to ideals, not at any tinsel splurge.

Hampshire. We children had been told that in after-years the meeting would be a treasured recollection and that 1t might be well to fix in our memories every word that was spoken to us individually. The instructions were given half in fun, but we took them very seriously. When we arrived, Mr. Whittier was not in the house. but was walking with his beloved dogs somewhere about the gro-nd, and in going to meet him. my brother and 1 became separated from the older mem bers of the family Ih the course of our ramble my brother very naturally climbed into tree The poet, 1t seems, was very fond of his trees. and this of all others was the famous Whittier Pine. Suddenly we were disturbed by a voice. as severe doubtless as the gentle Quaker could make 1t. 1Here Get down out of that tree" It was Whittier who stood below. Those are the only words he addressed per- sonally to my brother, and l do not recall that he said anything to me, but the sen- timent probably came as fully fro r his heart as any golden phrases garnered by the elder members of the family"

PRICELESS DIAMOND BY MAIL.
Cullinane Stone Sent From South Af-
 rica by Post.

From the Boston Herald.
 Everybody likes a diamond story, and the history of the famous Cullinane dia- mond is going the rounds. Some months ago the world was astounded by the find ing of this stone. and it has convinced experts that the South African mines have yet in store many whose weight may be expressed in pounds troy and not in carats.
 It is not generally known how this stone was sent to England Just as the mail for Europe was being closed at the Johan- nesburg postoffice an ordinary-looking packet. addressed to a firm in Hatton gar dens, London, was handed In at the win dow to be registered It weighed a little over pound. SO the charge of penny half ounce and two pence extra for registration was paid and the packet was stamped. sealed, and thrown into the bag along with other registered parcels for the mail boat. Nobody knew, apart from the postoffice authorities, that the ordn- ary little bundle had been insured for S2,- 100000. Not one of the clerks or officials dreamed they were handling what was literally worth a kings ransom
