NEW YORK, Sept l5.--A New York
er who happened to be in one OF the
coast towns in Italy somewhat over a
year ago, witnessed there the towns
celebration of the feast of st. Mary, In
the evening the streets were gay with
illuminated arches. There was a pa
rade with eolored fire and bands, fire
balloons were tloated and in one OF the
squares was set up huge pink and
silver and gold altar to the saint, be-
fore which reverent throng constant
" passed and upon which scores Of
candles burned. "How unlike New
York." remarked the New Yorker. A
few evening ago. happening to stroll
south from the old arlstocratic quarter
OF Stuyvesant Square, he found himself
on the edge of teeming Italian Sec
ton in the streets of which the cele-
bration he had seen in Italy was being
reproduced. illuminated arches, fire
balloons, parade, altar and all. He min
gied with the throng, and so far as the
faces he saw and the language he heard
were concerned, he might have been in
the midst OF Italy.

Prot. Krumpeln's removal to Boston

exceedingly brilliant organ recital at the

filled with an appreciative audience. The

the presence of the members of the vested
choir who have formed a strong friend

least OF the pleasant features. Refresh
ments were served. Just before the final
tarewells came, Rev. James A. Thompson,

The Diamond Markets.

ANTWERP, SEPT. Is, 1906.-The out
look in the diamond market is excellent,
but difficulty is found in securing good
lots of brilliants from stock. Rough
goods are scarce. There is a good de-
mand for good and medium melee and
small brilliants, but it is hard to procure
these qualities. Large goods are also
called for, but the quality and cutting
must be perfect. It is the opinion of the
merchants here that there has never
before been season when cutters found
1t so hard to get good diamonds in the
rough, both in size and quality. Several
merchants who recently visited the mar
kets at London and Amsterdam returned
without finding what they wanted
PARIS, SEPT. 10. 19O6.-The precious
stone business is very satisfactory at
present. There is a large demand for all
sorts of melee of two, three and four
grains; but there is not much stock on
the market from which to select Owing
to the advance in rough, all sizes now
manufactured will cost from two to
three francs per karat.
AMSTERDAM, SEPT. -, 1906. The dia-
mond market is very active at present,
and many foreign buyers are expected
Very small melee and good brilliants are
easily sold.
The above official reports have taken
from the jewelry trade journals, which
must convince you that diamonds of
recent purchase are higher than ever
before.
| have goods of all the above descrip-
lions, which l purchased over two years
ago at prices 20 per cent. cheaper than
the same goods can be bought for today,
and you can have them at an advance of
10 per cent. of what they cost me.
This is an opportunity which you will
never have again unless the Green Noun
tains prove to be second Transvaal.

critical audiences. Manager Heath has
arranged with Mr.. Foster to show here
once month during the entire season,
and as he comes here direct from the
theatres of Boston, the public are assur-
ed the best that that can be produced in
this line.
