DIAMONDS FOUND IN MAINE
Valuable Gems Taken from Boulder
That Contains Many Poor
GarnetS.

People who have visited Fryeburg
and who have. of course, interviewed
that immense bowlder in the woods
known as Jockey Cap, will undoubtedly
be much surprised to learn that the old
rock contains diamonds within its mass,
reports the Portland Argus. For many
years it has been known that Jockey
Cap was stuck as full of garnets as the
average plum cake is filed with raisins,
but the garnets arc of little value since
their cleavage is such that they cannot
be polished without breaking into fine
powder. Then, too. their color is not OF
the best, so that Fryeburg garnet that
amounts to anything is & genuine rar-
ity.
Recently, how ever, a man while pro-
pecting on the old bowlder came across
a small piece of crystal which seemed
to him to possess qualities that admitted
of professional treatment. He gave a
piece Of it to Gardner Walker. the Port
land manager of Princes express.
former Fryeburg man, suggesting that ii
was susceptible of treatment that might
result in making beautiful gem.
Mr.. Walker thought so, too. and after
he had secured professional advice he
was led to send piece of the crystal te
a laboratory to have it cut into gem
form. The result has now been arrived
at and it is even better than was at first
thought to be possible. Mr.. walkers
daughter, Miss Catherine Walker, is the
proud possessor of two as handsome dia-
monds as were ever seen provided they
were not precisely the real thing from
Africa. One of the stones cut to about
" carats and the other one TO about a
carat. or trif1e less.
They are cut in the so-called rose form
and show all of the beauties of native
diamonds together with beautiful re-
flected color lights, but no streaks of
color within themselves. They are far
and away ahead of any of the so-called
Brazilian diamonds or other forms of
rock crystal which are so largely en-
plotted, and when mounted in rings. as
they will shortly BE. they will be genu-
inc gems in every sense of the word.
There is no knowledge al present of
the amount of this material that is to be
found on Jockey Cap or in that vicinity,
since this was found only by accident.
The rock called Jockey Cap is OF the
same material that the other lodges in
and around Fryeburg are, and as there
are garnets everywhere in that section,
there may also be crystal diamonds
everywhere.

AN OHIO TRIBUTE.
Bronze Statue of President McKin'
ley Unveiled on Capitol Grounds
in Columbus.
VAST CROWD WAS PRESENT
On Account of "A Crush to see Mrs. Long
worth Afternoon Exercises Had
to be Postpoued-Statue
Described.

Columbus, o., Sept 15.-With 9
panic threatened in crowd estimated
at $4,000 people, surging about the
stand erected in the capitol grounds,
frantic to secure glimpse OF Mrs.
Nicholas Longworth, the presidents
daughter, the exercises arranged for
the dedication of the Mckinley monu-
ment were suddenly terminated Fri
day afternoon after the statue Of the
martyred president had been hurried
ly unveiled by Mrs. Longwarth.
The programme of exercises which
had been arranged for the unveiling
of the monument was carried out at
Memorial hall in the evening.
The two principal orators of the
occasion were Justice William r.
Day, of the United States supreme
court and United States Senator John
w. Daniel. of Virginia Gen. r. b.
Brown, of GAINESVILLE, o., head of the
grand army, and Gen. Joseph w.
Kay, past national commander OF the
Union Veterans legion also spoke.
The splendid memorial may be
termed the poor mans tribute to the
late president, as half of the funds
were secured largely by popular sub
scription through the Columbus Dis
patch. The Legislature appropriated
$25, 900 of the $4,000, which the MEM
orial cost. Herman A. Mcneil, the
noted sculptor of New York, famed
for his work of the American Indian,
executed the likeness.
The memorial is in the form of a
semi-circle, in the center of which is
the pedestal, surmounted by figure
of the dead president, nine feet four
inches in height. On either side OF
the semi-circle are allegorical pieces.
To the right is a muscular figure rep
resenting industry, and at its side is
a boy, depicting education. To the
left is the model of woman. typify-
ing prosperity, with a girl beside her
representing peace.
These figures, with the statue, are
of bronze, while the memorial pedes-
tai is of hard Vermont granite, said
to be the only piece, with the excep-
ton of one other, of Its kind ever
used. On the front of the pedestal
Is inscribed

A NERVOUS WRECK
Mrs. Green Gained 26 Pounds and,
Recovered Her Health by Taking
Or. Williams Pink Pills.

General debility is term that covers
a multitude of cases where there IS no
acute disease, yet the patient continues
to lose strength and the doctors medi-
cines have no apparent effect. This is
the decline that leads to death if means
are not found to check it. In great
majority of cases DR.. Williams Pink

strength because they actually make new
blood and SO send renewed vitality to
every organ and tissue of the body.
Mrs. S. A. Green, whose address Is

Natural Color of Pure Water.

1t was long ago discovered that the
natural color of pure water is blue.
and not white, as most of us usually
supposed. Opinions have not agreed
on the cause of the green and yellow
tints; these, it has been discovered
by w. Spring, are due to extraneous
substances. Dissolved calcium salts,
though apparently giving a green tint,
due to a fine invisible suspension,
have no effect on the color of the
water when adequate precautions
are taken. The brown or yellow color
due to iron salts is not seen when cal
cium is present. The green tint ID
often due to a condition of equilibrium
between the color effect of the iron
salts and the precipitating action or
the calcium salts.-Scientific Ameri-

CHAPTER TX.

Thenceforward the little party was
augmented by the unfailing presence
of the Spaniard, GonZaga.
Yet the newcomer bore himself in
such quiet, gentlemanly fashion, as
to disarm objections. He was never
obtrusive, and contrived to make his
society so agreeable that to none was
he unwelcome. Even Winslow, who
secretly deplored his coming, could
not but admire his tact, his graceful,
flowery conversation, his knowledge
of the world.
To Mrs. Creighton one DAY the
stranger said: 81 have no plans.
madam, and when l hear you talk of
your future home, and of all you mean
to do there, I feel like wanderer, a
good-for- naught. And in truth, l am.
A long sojourn in New Orleans be-
came fatiguing; I heard great deal
of this wonderful new land which my
own country was foolish enough to let
slip from its crown. One day boat
started, thither bound. | embarked

And that was all he ever voucE-
safed in explanation of his presence.
There were, however, two of the
party to whom this new acquaintance
was most unwelcome. Though Amer
lea and the Indian guide kept ever in
the background, they were alert and
watchful; keen to observe the slight
est change in the situation.
In spite of the antipathy of race
and habit, there was a bond uniting
or custom. Red skin and black COW
cred hearts that beat in unison to the
same refrain, love for those they
served They would sit apart from
the others, native antagonism bridged
by this common interest.
The stranger they eyed with dis
favor. with that instructive dislike
which needs no warrant. With the
Indian this was suspicion-a habit of
blood. With America, a conservative
fear of change.
Il amt got no call to complain, .
sne said to Owatoga, "an' dis yer Spain
man may be all right. But we don
need i'm. We done come so fur wild
out his com'ny, an l reckon we kin
go de res OBJ de way"
And Owatoga grunted assent for
what of America words failed to i'm
press his untutored ear, her gestures
and manner conveyed.
But there was another on board for
whom the Indian felt a far deeper
aversion, and that was the captain,
Finch. 1t was plain to Owatoga that
ever since the gambling episode, this
man had cherished for Winslow a
secret grudge. Over his every move
ment. therefore, he kept anxious
watch.
Quarters on The boat we're so crowd
ed that in sheer necessity of rest and
change, Mrs. Creighton and Lavender
spent much time on deck. Here games
were INDUCED in, principally matches
for rife practice, with the captain for
leading performer His aim was un-
erring. and he was reckless in its
display. Many a luckless pig on shore

The amateur will find It advisable in
stead of propagating rose plants to buy
good l or 2-year-old plants, If he wishes
to add rose bushes to his garden. They
may be had for low prices The younger
ones will produce fewer flowers the first
year, but they will be very satisfactory
and in the second year will be at their
best.
They should be obtained when the gar
dener is ready to set them out in beds.
preferably in April, although they may be
planted later. The beds may be of any
size and form. 1t should be in the open,
where plenty of sunlight may reach the
plants. 1t is an advantage to have 1t pro-
tected from high winds, as there then will
be less trouble from mildew. The soil
should be rich loan, well drained.
When the plants are set out thoroughly
water them, so as to settle the soil well
around the roots. Rapid growth should
follow. The only further treatment necea-
sary is to keep the soil well stirred around
the plants. II the summer is dry and
warm, layer of pine needles or fine man.
ure may be put on the soil around the
plants. This would make less cultivation
necessary; the ground would not dry out
as rapidly. For many varieties of the rose
which are not entirely hardy an additional
covering should be put around the plants
for protection in extreme winter weather.
In the spring this covering composed o.
manures preferably-may be spaded into
the soil and will act as a fertilizer. In
covering the plants for the winter care
should be taken not TO allow the tops Of
the plants to be bent down under the
weight Of the protective material and the
snow which may come later. Pruning
should begin the middle of March, all dead
wood and weakly shoots being removed.
The weaker growing plants should be cut
down so as to leave but four or five buds
on each shoot; the stronger ones may be
left much higher.
