one of the pleasantes, little gather

There was a surprise at Nsls Olsen's

event and the evening resolved itself
into a perfect jollification. Those
present wished such good times
might come oftener.

who is quite strong, showed the other
fellows head through the upper sash
and there you have it solved.

DEAR YEAR FOR DIAMONDS.
n You're Not GoIng to Buy Her Any You
can show Her ThIS.

' Returning steamships have brought back
in the last week several diamond importers
who went TO Europe to get supplies, and they
agree that the gems are scarcer and higher
in price than ever before. The officers Of
the Diamond Manufacturers Association,
whose members cut and polish practically
all Of the rough stones imported into this
country, say that the cost of the South
African stones as they come from the
mines is fully 20 per cent. higher than a
year ago.
The present holiday trade in New York
is said % have called for the greatest guam
tity ard value of fine diamonds ever sold in
any country in a single season. The largest
importers and cutters who wern asked IN
the last day or two about the trade said
that they never before had as much diff
Guilty as at present in meeting the demand
for stones in the choice qualities and mod
crate sizes. Although importatiOns have
been unprecedented in volume there are
said 10 he unusually small quantities in
the hands Of dealers. the orders having de-
plete1 many stocks. .
These statements Of the men who control
the diamond trade in thie country directly
contradict various reports recently CirCu-
lated as to the Influence On the market Of
supposed discoveries of new diamond fields
and methods of making artificial diamonds.
All the importers smile AZ these stories and
saw that there ha- been no development
checking in the slightest the upward ten
denCy of diamond prices. The reported dis
c~Overies in California. Minnesota, North
Carolinn and other States are declared to be
u~rimportant. while artificial diamonds suit
able for the jewellers use have not been
produced.

ROME. November %, 1905


DEAR Mrs. STORES In reply to your letter
Of the 2ist, / must inform you that. as far
as | know. there will not be another Amer
lean Cardinal named at the next Consistory.
This does not mean that there will never be
another named, but the Holy Father does not
seem to intend naming one at present. The
matter is one OF a very delicate nature. for
1t. lies so entirely with his Holiness himself.
and I myself cannot venture to interfere
unduly. l had never heard that the Holy
Father had expressed himself in the way
referred TO by you and ] fancy there must be
some Misunderstanding However. / am sure
that any attempt to bring pressure to bear
in such a delicate matter cannot further your
wishes. / should also say that the same wish
has been conveyed just as forcibly and with
equally good reasons in favor of at least
two other very distin guished prelates in the
Unied states, so that in the event Of the
Holy Father determining to name another
American Cardinal the choice of the person
would not be as easy matter as il may seem
to those who very naturally have only one in
view. More than this ] cannot say without
overstepping the limits of a discretion which
I must be the first to obs( rye in a matter of
this nature. With kind regards TO the Am
bassador / am. dear Mrs. Storer, Yours de-
votedly in Christ.

II the President finally found it conven-
lent to change his attitude in Church mat
ters and therefore wished to get rid Of me,

wanted for another, why was not my place
obtained in the way usual I'm our politics,
by asking for my resignation? l have al
ways known well that l might
be required to give up my Office at any
time, however well 1 might be filing
it. il politics should require it for another

ton by mail could not be waited for a few

ming to be felt even here. A man may
be kicked by horse, crushed in a rum
away. injured in an explosion while
clearing land. run over by harrow,
caught in thresher or injured in q
multitude of ways. For 1905 the de-
partment Of labor reports 58S serious
accidents of this kind, but states that
these records are very incomplete. In
Canada, where facts concerning such
accidents are kept. We learn that, by
comparison, We would sustain q loss
of 1892 lives annually in agricultural
pursuits.
What these figures mean in misery
and suffering no man can estimate. but
We can at least determine the economic
loss involved. In wages alone, esti-
mating the average earning capacity
at $500 annually. there would be a
loss Of something like $3.50, 100000 in
earning power. The loss In produc-
ton is easily twice that sum. Recent
experiments in New York and Chicago
to re-establish those who have been
injured show that fully 50 per cent
possess some earning power. At the
present time, however, they are not
put to work on large scale. so that
the loss Is total. About Is per cent of
the number are killed, leaving a bal
ance OF 100000 to struggle against
their handicaps. II the partially dis
abled are not re-establishedi they are
destined, sooner or later, to become
public charges.
Poor relief statistics show that the
cost for maintaining a pauper through
out his natural life is $500. Should
even one-half of the above number ul-
timately become public charges, it
would mean that this country annually
contracts to pay $500, 100000 for the
support of these injured artisans dur
ing their lifetime!
Truly, haste makes waste" Instead
OF checking the waste by preventing
accidents In industry, the ruthless
slaughter is allowed to go on. Whole
families are thrown upon the commun-
ity when the bread winner is injured,
and one of three choices is left them.
Either the women and children must
so into the factories and suffer from
the speeding up" process, or seek
relief through charity, and in case
they are to proud to do this. they
starve. Many choose starvation.
Germany and other countries have
recently approached this problem in
q sane. businesslike manner. In the
former country there is now in force
a system of workingmen's insurance.
which, in cases of accidents and sick
ness. Is giving complete satisfaction.
This question far overshadows in i'm
portance many others about which
labor is wasting its breath and ink in
our own country today. 1t is certain
to become leading issue in politics
within the next ten years in this coun-
try, as the recent advance in social and
labor legislation indicates.
