American Diamond Industry.

The American diamond industry Is in
creasing in Importance constantly. There
are now about twelve firms in this coun-
tidy who are accorded the privilege of pur-
chasing direct from the syndicate in Lon
don which controls the output of the De
Beers mines in South Africa Other inn
porters all buy through brokers. There
is demand for much greater amount of
diamonds than will be filled by the per-
sons controlling the market, who carefully
regulate the output that there will be
no danger of the market becoming over
stocked and thus affect the price
These persons are very autocratic in
deed. 1t is regarded as a privilege to be
given a sight" which consists of the
favored individual being notified that he
may buy some diamonds. The hour for
the treat having arrived, he is handed a
package of stones and told the price. 1t
may be a large package or a small one
but without any regard for his needs he
is expected to take them or leave them
without any quibbling. If he leaves them
it will be a long time before he gets an
other "sight'-perhaps never OF the re-
stricted output the United States gets the
lions share. there is a more ready de-
mand in this country for such stones. 1t
is said that the cutting of the American
factories eXcelS now, with the exception
of the stones under one-half carat. New
York is the center of the American cutting
industry, and it is probable that before
long it will be the leading cutting center
of the world.

~ VERSHADOWED by large trees and
upon an eminence on the east bank
of the Hudson river at the little
city Of Rensselaer,. just across the river
from Albany, still stands the famous
Yankee Doodle house. sometimes called
the Van Rensselaer, house, claimed to be
one Of the oldest buildings in America, says
the New York Press. The house, far
famed for its conspicuousness during the
revolutionary war. is the scene of many
gatherings of historic parties, and at pres

American Revolution.
This house was the home, more than $50

came to this country from Amsterdam,
Holland. where he was a prosperous mer-

Shipping Steel Mast 1873 Feet Long.

The feat of shipping steel mast 13s 4eet
long was recently accomplished by the
Great Western railroad of England. The
mast was three feet in diameter and
weighed II tons. The transportation was
accomplished by loading the mast on seven
cars, the great column being supported by
holsters on the second and fifth cars The
holsters were 81 feet apart. and he mast
was successfully transported in this man
ner from Liverpool to Plymouth. Consd-
cradle difficulty was experienced in turning
some of the sharper curves of the line and
traffic was interrupted for a while at ono
or two points.

ROOT-GRANT WEDDING TO
BE MOST SIMPLE AFFAIR

inclination to go the rounds seems to
prove the point
It is understood that young Grant
has no money beyond his pay. He is
a first lieutenant of engineers and his
wage is about SIPS a month. He gets
an allowance for quarters, however,
provided he is on detached duty where
there are no army quarters. The gov
eminent will give him and his wife
from an army post it will give him the
equivalent of the rent of three rooms.
1t is said that Edith Root, although
the daughter of a rich man, is per-
fectly capable of keeping house in
three rooms, and keeping house there
contentedly.
Lieut.. Grant has an enormously
time in Chicago, but he has no expec-
tations from her, and he is too much
of a Grant to take anything if it were
offered. Elihu Roots father was a
college professor, who was earning
about 81 500 a year, perhaps less, when
Elihu was a boy.
It isn't at all probable that he will
