The Value of Diamonds.

The value of the diamond is at so
much per carat, and up to certain
limit the value per carat increases as
the size of the stone increases. When
carat diamond is quoted at 1925, a
diamond weighing a half carat is
counted at the rate Of SIS per carat,
three-quarter carat diamonds at 500
per carat, one and one-quarter carat
diamonds at $40 per carat, one and
one-half carat diamonds at $3.50 per
carat, one and three-quarter carat dia-
monds at $3.50 per carat, and two carat
stones at 5000 per carat. Stones weigh
ing more than two carats sell at about
the same rate as that quoted for two
carat stones, and do not increase as
rapidly owing to the more limited de-
mand for the larger sized stones.-New
York Herald.

Polite Vaudeville.

An entertainment that benefited the
Y. M. c. A. campaign fund to the
amount of $131.45 was given in Music
Hall Friday evening, and the young
ladies who gave their time and talent to
produce it won the hearty thanks of the
campaign committee and the towns
people. 1t was novel entertainment
for this town, and again displayed to a
marked degree the talent here available
both musical and artistic.
Herr Noyes' Kinder Symphony" was
composed of performers on various
musical instruments, who were dressed
in kindergarten costumes and who
brought with them their nursery play
things. They gave the opening piece of
the evening and were heartily encored.
A. B. Moves was the leader, and the
other artists were P. F. Hazen, c. c.
Bingham, E. M. Taft, c. H. Dempsey,
Misses Luella A. and Elizabeth D. Merrill,
Maude E. Follensby, Marion Fairbanks,
Alice B. Warden and Sarah P. Cameron.
Mrs. Don {. Stiles sang two songs with
her usual grace and artistic finish Claude
M. Goodrich was given an enthusiastic
reception, as banjo soloist, and the ap-
plause he received again assured him
that he was general favorite. Misses
Margaret Merrill and Lena NJ. Pike sang
a duet, and were given hearty encore.
Frank O. French in his coon song and in
his talk and song fest brought down the
house and it was hard for the audience
to call any song his final one.
"The Sleeping Car" staged and pro-
duced under the direction of DR.. c. F. O..
Tinker, was the closing feature of the
entertainment. Mrs. A. ]. Corriveau
took the most difficult part perfectly,
appearing as Mrs. Roberts, showing her
truly natural ability on the stage. Miss
Marion D. Patterson as her Aunt Mary
did some very clever acting and won
loud applause. Frank O. French ap-
peared again as the porter, and could
have easily appeared in as many more
different roles had occasion demanded.
The conductor, whose presence was
occasionally demanded was personifed
with dignity by W. B. Atwood. Harold
0. French as the Californian played
his part excellently; Dale Atwood
played quiet but effective part
as a passenger who couldn't sleep
E. N. Carter as Mr.. Roberts, and DR.. ].
L. Miner as the long lost brother, COM
pleted this very interesting party, and
added to the amusement created by their
travels.
Besides the artists and the stage man
ager, who freely gave their services to
the cause, thanks are due the skilled
accompanist, Miss Luella Merrill, Supt.
George W. Cree for the fixtures of the
sleeping car, George Taylor for his ar
tistic decorations and the courtesies of
the Berry Ball dry goods store, Lougee
& Smythe, c. A. Stanley, c. H. Goss
Company and W. A. Wright.
