from the Jail at Cleveland in com
pany with another negro named Wal
ter Casey, also under a death sen
tence, but who has since been recap

of 500 for each.
The Supreme Court will not pass
upon the case until the man is re
captured, unless it should decide II
dismiss the appeal, in which case there
is no more hope for the neck of Wat
kins, except throgh executive elem
ency, in the event he is captured
| later.

Previous to the discovery of the Bra gillian mines in 1727 diamonds were found chiefly in India and Borneo. The most valuable Brazilian diamond was the Southern Star, found in 1854, which weighed 254 carats iu the rough and 124 carats after cutting. The South African diamonds do not equal the Bra gillian for purity on the average. Other countries where diamonds are known are the United States, British Guiana, Russia, China, Sumatra and Australia In the United States the stones are found only occasionally in alluviaI ma- terial and drift The great lakes re- zion Is one of the districts in which they are found.
 Owing to the peculiar circular or oval form of the deposits in which diamonds are discovered in South Africa it is con- sidered that these deposits mark the vents or pipes of ancient volcanoes, and it is therefore considered that the pres ence of diamonds is connected with vol canic activity, the stones either having been brought up from the interior of the earth or having been formed where found under the influence of molten rock in connection with carbonaceous shale-

 The most successful character in The Woman In White was not a woman but a man-Fosco, the fat villain. When the book was produced every body was talking about the fat villain. While the author was staying with his mother a visitor came. The lady said to Collins:
 You seem to have made a great success with your villain in ''The Wo- man In White" I have read the book have studied this villain, but he is not haf a villain You don't know q real villain, and the next time you want to % . villain come to me I am very aose to one.

Will the Trusts Control
 Air and Water?

How often have you used that good old joke about the trusts controlling everything but the air we breathe
 You may soon have a chance to turn this jest to earnest. There is a fat young trust forming just now that proposes to reach its tentacles into the air we breathe and draw therefrom a product which will enable the monopoly to "levy tribute on every loaf of bread, every pound of beef and every manager of oats"
 We are quoting from their own prospectus. This interesting trust is now a part of the hustling group which is grabbing our water powers. With cheap water power they will produce a fertilizer which in Germany enables the farmer to raise 400 bushels of potatoes to the acre, and in slow old behind-the-times U. s. "A. we average only 75 bushels. Other crops are benefited in the same proportion.
 Energy in the soil; energy in the streams. Those are things we've got to wake up and protect; or else these trust gentlemen will do just what their prospectus says they'll do: Levy tribute on every thing we use.
