TYSON AND SHERRY.
Major Still in Race to Succeed Lilley,
 Letters Promising Support.

New Haven, Aug 14.--Major John Q. Tilson last night stated that he wished to state positively that he had not withdrawn from the contest for the nomination for congressman-at- large on the republican ticket. He also denied a report that he would fight Congressman N. D. Sperry for the nomination from the second dis trict this fall.
 The report stated that Major Til- sons change was the direct result of conference between republican powers held at the Momauguin on Wednesday when the Legislative club had its reunion. It said that Major Tilson was part and parcel to the deal. Last night Major Tilson said that no such deal had been made, or at least if such deal had been made he knew nothing about 1t. He said that under no conditions would he run against Congressman Sperry for the nomination this fall or at any other time.
 Going on he said that he was still candidate for the position of con- gressman-at-large and that his name would be presented to the state con- vention.
 Major Tilson said the papers had been misinformed by the person who gave the information that he would withdraw from the race while he was in Tennessee.
 Republican leaders seen last night said that there had been no deal made at Momauguin or anywhere else to have Congressman Sperry retire to private life, either voluntarily or be- cause of the strength of the machine. They said that. his would be the only name presented for the nomination.
 The New Haven delegation will support Major Tilson for the nomina- tion of congressman-at-large, and no effort was made by Judge Walsh or his friends Wednesday to gain any strength here for the Greenwich man. Judge Walsh, however, stated that he was confident that he would be nom mated. Since his return from the south Major Tilson has received other letters promising him support and the contest in the state convention in September looks considerably closer than it did a while ago.

DIAMONDS AND PEARLS.
Remote Regions Affected by tn
 American Financial Question.

Sir Henry de Nllliers, who represent ed South Africa at the Quebec tercen- ter ary celebration. has informed q London journal that South Africa at present Is suffering ss the result of rn- arcial disturbances in the United states He points out that the United States Is the greatest diamond purchas- ing country in tho world, and as re- suit of business reaction in America there has been noticeable decrease in the working forces at Kimberly and in the Transvaal mines.
 The diamond industry in Cape Town alone averages s25, 900 g year, and the diamond market of course affects other industries. The chief revenue of South Africa Is from gold, but It de- pends almost as much on its diamond exports. Diamonds, pearls, and all precious stones are high luxuries, and their industries rest upon the financial condition of the great purchasing cen- ters of the world IL is known that American women have most to do witl, the fashion in pearls. and the slump in that particular market, due to hnsn- cial depression here, has on more than one occasion affected such distant pearlng stations as Thursday Island and Port Darwin. on the northern coast of Australia. Five years ago pearl shell there was being sold at s2,oo0 a ton. Eighteen months later after 3 fn- ancial depression In the United States, the price went down 10 $400 a ton.
 These are very positive instances as to how surely the conditions of life in the great cities affect the distant mar kets of the world. The commercial uni verse is not fashioned in water-tight compartments. Our markets here al. rectly affect industrial conditions at the other side of the globe; we are al commercial relatives of one another | New York Press.

Berlin Is organized for eating and drinking. and go are the Berliners or Eanized for it Scattered all over the city are enormous places where food Is served, wine halls. where only wines are served and beer halls. which deal in beer alone. some of them most re- spectable and some not so impeccable. It Is the rule that 1t is perfectly proper to take your mother or your wife or your sister 10 beer hall or a wine hall that Is frequented by the officers of the army. They go only 10 the proper ones-publlcly The etiquette of these places Is most for mai. If the hall Is crowded and ta- bles are scarce, before you sit down you draw your heels together and make military bow to everybody sitting at the able you select Then, also. you raise your glass or stein 10 those at the table when your refresh ment Is served. On leaving, you bow all around again. Or the other people at the table bow. If they leave before you do. The American way of asking | the others at the table. for permission to sit down is not cererfonious enough for the Germans, who are the mos! formally polite people in the world.-- Samuel c.
