PIKE COUNTY MAY
 BE FAMOUS U. s. Geological Survey to Issue Official Bulletin Highly Favorable to Ar kansas Diamond Field.
REPORT OF DIR. KUNZ
It Takes Strong Grounds in Favor cf InvestigatiOn-Tifany's Man In. spects Them.

Washington, D. C., Aug, 6.-The reported discoveries of diamonds in Pike county, Arkansas are be- lieved by the Geological Survey to be bona fide. Extensive investiga- tions have been made by experts in whom the survey has confidence and the results are to be set forth in a few days in a bulletin giving the exact facts.
 It is known that this bulletin will incline to the view that perhaps the diamond field of the United States has been found in Arkansas. Many phases of the inquiry are yet to be ascertained, for instance, the rela- tive value of the Arkansas stones compared with those from African fields, but it appears to be the be- lief here that unless unfavorable facts be added to those already known, Arkansas soon will be min ing the most valuable mineral sub stance taken from the ground in the world.
 Dr. George F. Kunz of the cele- brated jewelry house of Tiffany, of New York has made a report to E. w. Parker of the mines division of the Geological Survey which is soon to be issued as an official pub cation by the survey. It is claim ed that Dr. Kunz takes strong ground in favor of the Arkansas stones and gives the result of rath- CT careful and extensive inquiry in- to the subject.
 It is impossible to obtain any thing more in detail at this time or to give technical statements from the experts, who are reserving their data for the official publicatNs which are to be issued. but that the foregoing epitomize the situation was stated today to the Gazette by one of the Geological experts Sur veys' experts. who withholds his name for obvious reasons.

PERMANENT PROSPERITY,

The Nashville American is of the opinion that prosperity has come to stay. or at least it has no inten- ton of emigrating soon, nd the American is sustained in this view by prominent commercial men manu- lecturers, bankers and trade jour- nal editors in the business centers. Heretofore, periods of prosperity and depression have followed each other in regular succession, each with a time limit that could almost be foretold but the present prosper ous condition of the country has been prolonged beyond the usual limit and beyond expectations. The average of wages has never been so high, the large crops and the prices of farm products have made farmers unusually prosperous, and business in all lines-mercantile, manufactur- banking, mill-building, railroad con- struction, real estate, home build- ing, etc.. has been active beyond previous period. Without any spec ial reason on which to base such opinion, many have believed, or believe that this pros porous period can hardly last much longer, and that business depression. far reaching in effect nav be expected There appears to be nothing to warrant such opin- ion. here has been check in balloon speculation, banks have forced more caution, and business as a whole is on a sounder, safer basis than it was.
 The crop situation is reassuring and the factories have orders for year ahead. The New York Times has made a canvas of the opinions of business men and the answers to its queries are founded on actual con- ditions which prevail in the trades and industries of the United States. They are eXpressons of fact and opinions from leading authorities in the world of trade . md with scarce ly an exception indicate an encour- gins degree of progress, without any pessimistic forecast or forebod- ing. The Times says: "These trade authorities arguing from pre- sent conditions and tendencies, see in the outlook a continuation, and even an increase in the pros perity which the country is ata pre- one negative feature in the situation that there is a scarcity of money in the market, but this scarcity of mon- ey is quoted as an evidence of busi ness activity. For the moment. it is believed, this stringency may act as a check to the development of new enterprises. But in the end, it is argued, whatever force this money scarcity may exert, will be enumerated by the uniform stabil- ity of the country's crop and the disinclination on the part of busi ness to decline from it's present standard of activity. Thus, on all sides. Americas business future is deemed to be built on a solid basis and there is no room given ty these experts in trade ions, to the belief that the threat of hard times is visible on the country's horizon.

POE A DIPSOMANIAC.

The Book News Monthly for August has an interesting article on Edgar Allen Poe; a Pathological Study which is an intensely interesting one. 1t takes the position that had Poe been a generation later he might have been spared life's anguish and his good name would have been unbesmirched. In the light of modern science Poe belongs to class of unfOrtunates now called dip somaniacs. Modern scientific in- tpestigation and research have dis closed the existence of a malady un- deriving drunken phenomena which it has chrIstened inebriety or nar- eomania-mania for narcotism or intoXication which it recognizes as a specific disease, as is mental un- consciousness that Tot so very long ago was believed to be demonical possession. Indeed in the jurispru- dence of some countries, as Bel Bium, dipsomania is regarded as a variety of insanity.
 1nebriety or narcomania, is now acoeptetd as an abnormal unhealth- ful or defective brain condition that gives rise to the overmastering i'm pulse or craze for intoxication which iD many cases results in the visible c3cesses of drunkenness. The drunkenness is never actually the

WAS THE CAPT.
V|CT|M|zED !?
Told Several Policemen Each a
Slightly Amended Tale Of
the Alleged HOIdup.
He FAILED TO APPEAR TO-DAY

Captain John Wilkinson, of the
barge Baltic, reported to officer Whit
worth about 9 O'Clock last night that
he had been held up near the ship
yards on Front street and robbed of
$13, and a watch and chain valued
at SIS. He said that he had given
chase to the men after they had re-
lieved him of his money and watch
and succeeded in catching one OF
them. During the scuffle, however,
the captain said the fellow slipped
out of his coat and escaped.
Tht captain also told Roundsman
Morris a similar story and the police
man made an investigation but could
find no trace of the alleged bandits.
Patrolman Quinlan was also told
about the hold-up by the barge cap
tain, who exhibited coat to prove his
story. He, however, told this pa
trolman that the hold-up had occur
red at Broad and Mechanic streets.
Further, he said that gang of boys
had done the trick and that he had
caught one of them when some men
interfered and compelled him to let
the boy go. The policeman says the
man was slightly intoxicated.
Later the captain went to the po-
| lice station and told Sergeant Multi
gan of the robbery, but this time he
said he was off the barge Brilliant.
! The police placed but little faith in
/ his story and told him to appear be
fore the recorder this morning, but
| he failed to do so.
