The Business at Amsterdam.

There has been a decided falling off in the
dIamond-cutting business at Amsterdam.
Where there were 1900 cutters at work a
few years ago there are now only 5000. In
Antwerp, which IS the second diamond mar
ket in the world, there were formerly be-
tween 1900 and 5000 cutters. The average
now employed is about $500. This is due
very largely to the competition in other
cities of Europe and from New York firms
who deal IN precious stones. Ii is also due
to the restrictions of the labor unions,
which several years ago limited the num-
Der of apprentices for the purpose of max
ing labor scarcer and more valuable but
the consequence has been that wages have
been reduced; many establishments have
removed to Paris, London, Brussels and
Vienna, and there are now about 1900 dia-
mond cutters IN the United States, most of
them from Antwerp and Amsterdam, where
there were only a dozen or two ten years
ago American dealers buy uncut stones to
save the duty, and import their cutters
from Holland
1t is also true that the number and value
of diamonds in the United States is now
greater than in that of any country In the
world. There are doubtless many more
Jewels in London than in New York, but not
one-half so many are sold annually. They
are chiefly heirloons and have been in the
possession of the Old families for genera
tons But in New York and other parts of
the United States people are just beginning
to accumulate jewels, because until recent
ly they did not have enough money to buy
them.

Irish Farmer Hampered.
From Eyerybody's Magazine.

FROM Eyerybooy's Magazine.
Let US see. In present conditions the one
opportunity for the Irish farmer is IN dairy
products. For these he has exceptional ad-
vantages, a moist, moderate climate and
rich pastures. Irish butter is probably the
best in the world; its flavor is marvellous,
to quote Jerry Stickles. Here is an enor-
NOUS market for dairy products right at Ire
lands door; fer London and most of Eng
land must import butter. The distance is
short, the transit is quick. Ireland can
raise almost unlimited quantities of dairy
products-and yet Irish butter. for all its
excellence, is rare in England. or what
use is land to the Irish farmer IL he can
not get his products to market? He might
as well be on coral reef in the Pacific.
1t IL the rates charged on the Irish rail-
roads that shut him in like walls Here
are a multiplicity of small lines, separate
companies. all owned In England. The
stockholders have no concern except to get
their dividends regularly and In large sizes.
The arrangements for through trensporta-
ton are defective. Each little road MAIN
tains it's own gouging tarin, each insists
upon its own pound OF flesh: the resulting
charges are probably without q parallel exc
cept in some remote and mOuntainous re-
Rions.

Some doubt has arisen whether the
remains taken from the river at Mus
catine recently and identified by a
brother as those of James Fill of Bur
lington. who disappeared from Moline
May ,. were actually those of Hill. A
woman representing herself as Mrs
HILL wife of the man who is missing,
has been at Muscatine and asked the
authorities to dig up the body and al
low her TO examine it. She declared
that Hill did not wear light trousers
at the time he disappeared and eX-
pressed doubt that the body was that
OF her husband. She also expressed a
lack of faith in the veracity of her
brother-in-law The Muscatine officers
refused to exhume the body and de-

investigation.
