world, a magnificent Brazilian stone. weighing
nearly four pounds
In the early part of the last century this
stone was turned over to Professor Andrea
Cariello. who to carve upon 1t representa-
ton of the Last Supper.
He devoted nearly ten years 10 the work
and spent over $4,000 for diamonds, diamond
powder and other material needed. When the
reigning house of the period met misfortune
and was unable to pay the charges, he stone
remained in possession of the carvers family.
A few years ago Count Caserta began the
.endeavor to raise money to redeem the gem and
present it to the Pope. The work of Professor
CarielIo is said to be the finest and most ex-
duisite piece of precious stone engraving that
has been done In modern times.

SENSATIONAL CONFESSION.

The greatest sensation in the San
Franisco graft cases since the wholesale
confession of the boodling supervisors
came yesterday, when Abe Ruef, the
indicted "boss, " whose trial was to be
called, made q confession Of his guilt
aud extortion in court, and agreed to
aid in the prosecution of the boOdlers.
1t was a complete surprise to Ruefs
counsel, as well as TO the prosecution.
and the scene in the courtroom wss
pitiable when the once gay, supremely
confident political leader broke down,
wept, and nearly collapse while acknow-
Lodging his shame and his purpose tc
live down his old offenses.
Ruef has been a sick man for several
weeks, but his mental condition must be
even worse than his physical, for he
showed in court the yellow streak which
bis enemies have predicted would come
out when he had exhausted all the legal
devices to stsye off the trial of his case.
Ruefs promise to iell all has caused
CONSERVATION in political circles. II
means certain conviction on many
charges and long terms in State prison
for Mayor Schmitz, and it may mean the
conviction of the railroad and telephone
officials, against whom the charges have
been made.
Those who know Ruef, well believe,
however, that when his present spasm O.
weakness and remorse bas passed be vii
fail to make good with any valuable rev
elatiops except iu regard TO Mayo
Schmilz, whom he hates because hi
openly gloated over Ruef's discontinue
Schmitz still believes that the friend
ship Of certain prominent men will saw
him from paying penalty of his misdeed
| and he has taken no pains TO hide thi
from Ruef, and to impress upon the de
,hroned boss that they sre not in tn

Profit to Southern Railway by Connec-

Letter No. Z.


Letter No. z.
Shelton, Va, May. IA.
To the Editor of the Alexandria Gazette
1t will pay the Southern Railway to
extsnd its Bluemont branch 10 the coal
lands near Davis, w. Va, and to the
coal OF Randolph and Upshur counties,
if onls TO get cheaper coal for its locomo-
tiyes on the Washington division, to say
nothing of those farther South. II |
had access 10 its coal account could
demonstrate this from official figures.
As it is | have to do some guessing. Say
there are twenty-five daily trains ana
they use an average of twenty tons daily
for three hundred days yearly, that is
$50. 900 tons annually, Say the saving
Der ton is sixty cents, that is saving to
the Southern of 800, 900 annually. That
sum pays the interest on 81 500, 900 at
| five per cent. This leaves coal and iron
ore, lumber and other freights and pas
, sengers for additional profit. 1t is l7S
miles to Lynchburg and about 49S miles
to coal at Jellico, Tennessee, and MID
dleborough, KY, over the Southern
from Lynchburg. 1t can be readily seen
how much cheaper coal over Its own
line from near Davis can be brought for
the locomotives of the Washington divi-
sion than from the mines of Tennessee
and Kentucky. If had the cost OF
coal for the Southern over the b. and
o. could figure on that basis. How
ever, it is plain that a good proht can
be had over that coal also. | hope later
to be able to get official statistics, so as to
work this out as a clear demonstration
and not as mere guess work.
My object in this letter is simply to
present this subject as one worthy Of
careful study as a means to the end oil
