known 10 fame. Since the report II
current that Ex-Fresident Cleveland 4
seriously Ill. there is not nook moi
corner in this great country where
people are not watching with eager
ness for every bit of news that will
tell something Of the great sufferer.
There are many who may have diff
fered with Mr., Cleveland in the policy
of his administration of the affairs OF
the country during his career as
President, yet none can doubt his sin
certify nor his sterling honesty. One
fact is patent and that is this: Mr.
Cleveland was President of the United
States during the terms he filled that
high station. There was no power be
hind the throne to swerve him from
his duty as he saw it. Though his
party swung off at tangent and left
him to stem the current of national
affairs, almost alone, he did not muir
muir nor complain, but faced the stu
alton with a rugged courage which
challenged the admiration of his poll
tical opponents. His own party to a
man, as 1t were, dubbed him traitor,
claiming that he deserted some of the
most vital of Jeffersonian and Demo
cratic principles. But Mr.. Cleveland,
as chief pilot, steered the ship of state
straight ahead, despite the fierce gales
and adverse storms of party strife,
chickering's and animositjes, relying
on the soberer thoughts of after years
for vindication. All told, Mr. Cieve-
lands administration of the Nations
affairs compares favorable with that
of other administrations, and this is
all the truer when the fact is taken
into consideration that he was greatly
hampered by internal party dissen-
sions.
The election Of Mr.. Cleveland, the
standard-bearer Of the Democratic par
ty, to the presidency in 1884, created a
curious enough situation in the South
among many of the old ex-slaves, who
believed that the return of that party
to power, again, for the first time since
their freedom, meant the possibility
OF their return to the "cruel slavery
days" Some wept, some prayed and
some were almost dazed with fright by
the intelligence. Democracy and slav-
cry were synonymous terms with many
of the poor, old ex-slaves, and there
was touch of humor and pathos
about their groundless fears to those
who were better informed. But after
a few months had passed and they
were not claimed as property, they
learned to respect the man who was
brave enough on the eve Of election
day and in the face of trying and
delicate situation to say to his friends,
Tell the truth"
Under Mr.. Cleveland's civil service
policy more of our young men stood
competitive examinations, received
appointments and retained them than
under any administration before or
since.
Though Mr., Cleveland's administra-
tons were less spectacular than some
which have followed, yet his were de-
void of the same whitening plumbers
and we could wish that the White
House was occupied by as courageous
a man as Mr. Cleveland. And in this
hour of his suffering our sympathies
80 out to the Ex-President.

HANDS ACROSS EXTENDED
Over Canadian Boundary-Secretary
Root Banqueted.

Ottawa, Ont.-The Russell House
diningroom was filled and many were
unable to obtain seats at luncheon
given by the Canadian Club to Secre-
tary of State Root this afternoon.
Mr.. Root delivered an address in
which he dwelt chiefly upon the good
relations existing between Canada and
the United States for the past ninety
years. In conclusion he asked those
present to join with him in sentiment
ito the Canadian settlers in New Eng
land and the American settlers in the
Canadian West; may they with loyal
memory do honor to the lands of their
birth; may they ever with loyal citi-
zenship do Gods service to the coun-
tries of their adoption"
Sir Wilfred Laurier, on proposing a
vote of thanks to Secretary Root, said
that when he wanted a restorative for
i'll health he went to the United States,
and when Secretary Root wanted re-
storative he visited Canada. So that if
the two countries could not have re.
ciprocity in trade, they had it in in
valids. The premier in conclusion paid
high compliment to Secretary Root.

FIVE CREVASSES APPEAR.
Oyster Beds Near the Gulf Will Be
Ruined by Fresh Water.

New Orleans, La.-Seventyive miles
below New Orleans today five crevasses
appeared in the Mississippi levees, the
breaks ranging from 20 to 100 feet in
width. The country threatened is set
tied by fishermen and oystermen, ac-
custumed to frequent overaows and
prepared at all times to save both them
selves and their families with little
hardship. Many miles of oyster beds
will be ruined for the season by the
fresh water.
The breaking of the levees near the
rivers mouth was expected, because
last September's hurricane brought in
food water from the gulf which washed
out the embankments so badly as to
make permanent repairs impossible at
this time. Nevertheless attempts are
being made to close the crevasses, for
there is always danger that in breaking
from its banks the river may cut new
channel to the gulf.
The State board of engineers having
in charge the levee system announced
the rivers stage at 1863 feet today,
which is nearly four feet under the
high water of 1903. The engineers say
there is no possibility of levee troubles

Rubies and Diamonds.

Heirs to the dream of the alchem-
lists, who sought to transmute base
metals into gold, many scientists to-
day are striving to unite the cheap
elements which make up precious
stones, and SO build us jewels while
we wait. theoretically the task is
simple. Practically, the difficulty of
counterfeiting that welding point of
heat and pressure which existed
when the molten earth was cooling is
very great. Apparently it can be
done. Whoever fuses alumina with
chromium oxide in the oxy-hydrogen
flame may obtain a veritable ruby.
The diamond is a tougher opponent,
but Moissan points out the road to
success. By saturating molten iron
with carbon in the electric furnace at
temperature Of $500 degrees, and
then suddenly cooling the mass, he
produced the pressure necessary to
crystalline the carbon, and obtained
minute but real diamonds. Lately
Sir Andrew Noble obtained a worlds
record temperature of 5000 degrees
from the pressure of cordite exploded
In closed vessels of iron, and In the
residue of the explosion chamber
small diamonds were found In the
near future, perhaps, methods will be
found of producing all crystals in the
size, homogeneity of texture, and col
oring which make them precious
stones. No longer, then, says Col
lier's, will the blood-stained gems OF
Indian princes glow in the pages of
sixth-rate novels. In our children's
children. it may be, the tales of the
Arabian Nights" will wake no Wis
ions of unearthly wealth, and the ad
venture of Mowgli with the Bandar-
Log of the Forgotten City will have
to be explained.
