Woman who Culped Diamond.

Omaha, Neb., July 7.-Unless the
Supreme Court should intervene, Miss
Mae Thomas's $3.50 appetite will, for the
next five years, have to put up with a
fare consisting principally of coarse
bread, Irish stew and bean soup. When
the "vunu, convicted OF Stealing dia-
mond by swallowing it, was brought in
to court yesterday she was quite COM
posed. The motion for a new trial was
overruled Before sentence was pro-
nounced Miss Thomas said "Judge,
I never stole that diamond, and never
intended to steal ii. II it had not been
for the detective, the diamond would
have been there yet. | ask for mercy
on account of my baby" A sentence
of five years in the penitentiary, with
hard labor, which is only two years less
than the maximum, was imposed, the
court entirely disregardiDg the jury's
recommendation of leniency. Judge
Sutton declared his conviction that the
woman belonged to band Of thieves,
which must be broken up.

HartIe Divorce Plot.

Pittsburg, July 7.-An inkling WAS
gained yesterday as to the prominence
of the persons involved by the charge,
of conspiracy to blast the fair name and
character OF Mrs. Augustus Hartje, in
connection with the divorce suit insti-
tuted against her by her millionaire hus-
band and now being tried here. A lead
ing business man Of Allegheny and the
cashier of an Allegheny bank will be
named among the defendants in addition
to Harte and his bosom friend, John
Fl. Welshous, and HsrGe's negro coach
mao, Clifford Hooe. Back of the prose-
cution is the proprietor of one OF the
largest department stores in that end Of
the State. InformatioBs have already
been made against the accused men, it is
understood, and warrants are in readi
ness for serving.
The next thrill in this case of thrills
is expected to be furnished by the arrest
of young woman who will be charged
with having forged the fefvid letters in
troduced in evidence and purporting to
have been passed between Mrs. Hsrtje
aud Nadine, the coachman. The story
of how Harije secured these letters be-
came public yesterday. 1t is to the et-
feet that two detectives hired by Hartje
got into Madness room during his alb
sence and robbed his trunk. On the
witness stand Nadine denied that his
trunk had been robbed, having been ask
ed this question by Attorney John Mar
rem, for Hsrtje. He also denied the
letters were ever in his possession. The
libeliant expects to put two detectives
on the stand to testify how they got the
letfera

SATURDAY EVENING. JULY 7. 1906.

IT Is AGAIN believed that the peace
OF the world is endangered by the unrest
which prevails in the Egyptian Delta.
Some, however, profess to see nothing
grave in present conditions, but it is
apparent that Great Britain will be COM
PEELED to put forth more of her strength
for the control OF Egypt. Nobody who
has intel!igently watched the drift OF
affairs in Africa and Asia for the last few
years will question tor a moment the
accuracy of Sir Edward Grey's assertion
that the recent attack upon British off,
GERS at TaUtah, in the Delta, was much
more than a sporadic and detached incl
dent, of local origin; that it was delib-
crate manifestation of widespread
spirit of fanaticism, which for some time
has been growing in extent and inten-
sity. Whether ii is racial or a religious
fanaticism there may I've some doubt.
Perhaps it partakes of both natures.
Certainly there has been of late much un-
rest among the non-European races, all
the way from the northern Mongols to
thesouthern Ksfirs, embracing Mongols,
Hindoos, Malays, FilipinOs, Arabs,
Turks, Egyptians, Moors, Hottentots and
Zulus. At the same time, there has
been specially marked a recrudescence Of
Moslem antagonism toward christian
nations. 1t seems probable that this
latter spirit was the more direct and po-
tent in the Tantsh affair. The natives
who without provocation attacked Brit
ish officers with bludgeOns, with deadly
intent. were not Coptic fellaheen, but
Moslems, and there has been some pref
ty confident tracing of the influences
which led to that outrage back to the
Turkish attempt to "rush" Egyptian
territory in the Sinsi'ic peninsula, 1t
was understood at that time that Turk
ish propaganda, appealing to religious
prejudices, had been conducted by the
Turks among the Moslems of the Delta.
ANY considerable disturbance in Egypt
would be doubly deploFable, because OF
the encouragement which it might give
to the spirit of unrest and revolt in other
eastern lands.

OWING to what they claim the un'
favorable condition of the lumber bust
ness, manufacturers in the States of Viz
ginis, North Carolina and South Caro-
Ida have voluntarily determined to re-
duce their normal output rs per cent. OF
more during July and August, or until
present conditions improve. The manu-.
facturers that have determined to curtail
include members and non-members Of
the North Carolina Pine Association. 1t
means that the total output for July and
August will be reduced by approximate
ly $4,000, 900 feet. This is lumber
trust and should be taken in hand by
the courts. The "unfavorable condition"
has been brought about by the great adj
vance the trust made in prices which
stopped many people from building
houses. Should reduction in the price
of lumber be made Condition" would
improve.
