uNLuckY HOPE DIAMOND
At Bottom of Indian Ocean With
Latest Possessor

London, Nov. 19.-According to the
London Express a telegram has been
received in Paris stating that Selim
Habib. a wealthy Turkish diamond
collector and merchant, who formerly
owned the famous blue Hope diamond
was among the passengers drowned
in the wreck of the French mail
steamer Seyne at Singapore
This adds another to the list of mis-
fortunes Associated with the owner
ship of the famous gem. 1t is re-
ported that he had the diamond with
him.
Because certain of its owners have
met with misfortune a baleful infu-
ence has been ascribed to the famous
Hope diamond Such a stone weigh
ing 67Is karats, was the most valu-
able of the crown jewels of France
when Louis XVI was beheaded in
1898 1t disappeared when the royal
treasure was stolen, and in 1880 Dan
iel Ellison, London dealer, offered
for sale stone which he said he had
bought from a stranger in all ways
like it, except that this one weighed
only 442s karats.
This was purchased by Henry Tho
mas Hope, a banker of great wealth,
for $4,000. He was not affected adj
versely by it's possession. He gave
it to his daughter when she married
the Duke of Newcastle and she gave
it to her second son, Lord Francis
Hope. His early career was wild
one. He married May Yohe, the ac-
tress in 1894, and they had a troub-
led life ending in divorce in 1901.
Meanwhile Lord Francis had sought
to sell the diamond TO satisfy his Gre
| ditors, and about the time of his di-
vorce the courts permitted him to do
so. 1t was bought by Simon Frankel
at a price reported as $16S, 900. After
Kidding himself OF it Lord Francis
married again and settled down.
The diamond was brought to New
York and Joseph Frankels Sons &
Co.. tried to dispose of it to some Am
erican. They were unable to get
| their price, and the diamond lay for
! years in a SAT- deposit vault Large
| ~ because they had such a large
amount of capital tied up in the stone
the house had financial difficulties af-
ter the slump of 1907
The gem was bought in 1908 by Sc
linn Habib. He said the price was
| 100000 Financial troubles came to
him soon. and last July he was com
PEELED to offer his fine collection of
gems for sale in Paris. The auction
was held on July % and a report la
ter had it that he had been compelled
to accept $4,000 for the Hope dia-
mond Louis Aucoc, the leading dia-
mond expert of France, was said to
have bought it for a client There is
doubt whether Habib would have ac-
cepted this price and as there were
| several other famous diamonds in the
! Habib collection one of these may
have been bought by NJ. Aucoc.

TO STOP ARMY DEsERTIoNs
Conditions Surrounding the Man
in the Ranks Should be Improved

Washington, Nov 19.-Coincident
with the announcement that deser-
tons in the United States army are
on the increase. come the suggestions
of inspectors as to how discomfort in
the service can be minimized The
reports of these inspectors point out
the necessity of improving the con-
ditions surrounding the men in the
ranks.
1t is believed that by some impor-
tant changes in this particular there
viii be less assertions, by a removal
or decrease on one of the causes to
which desertion is attributed. Sew
eral of the officers address their com
ments to matters of routine in com
pany administration, such as the
character of punishments applied by
company commanders and by sum

UniVerSalist

A representative congregation was
present at the Universalist church Sun
day morning and apparently appreciated
the entire service. The music by an
augmented choir very acceptably sang
the chants and rendered one anthem.
The singers were Mr.. and Mrs. E. W..
Gates. Miss Brenda Harris, Misses Grace
and Winnie Bedell and Walter Tinker.
Mrs. Ida Churchill presided at the organ.
The sermon by the pastor, Rev. Otto S.
Raspe, was an expository sermon based
on DR.. Eliot's New Religion" which
the President Emeritus of Harvard Uni
versity recently delivered as an address
was prophetic in it's utterance and lights
the way over which the church must
walk if she would hold her honored
place in the hearts of men, who have
caught the vision of universalistic the
ology. Let us examine the prophetic
message to the twentieth century for
ourselves. The new religion will find
expression ia the human idea of God,
entirely abandoning the old conception
of the triune God. The thought of the
Supreme being will be Unitarian, rather
than Trinitarian. The liberal interprs-
tation bases its theism upon theosophi-
cal and philosophical grounds and views
the great Spirit as being SO immanent
that His presence permeates all nature,
that He is indwelling, not only in Christ
and in the human heart, but abides in
every atom and is intrinsic in the revo-
luton of the planets, as in the passing
of soul from the plane of mortality to
that of immortality. But religion with
a philosophical heart must necessarily
be wounded by the more dogmatic re-
ligiOnists. They bring the charges of
posltivism and pragmatic pantheism.
The personal force or intelligence which
directs the universe is not denied in DR..
Eliots system of religion. God is at the
centre of his universe and it is a moral |
as well as natural government. =
God Is love,/a condemnation has no |
place where love abdes. 1t is therefore |
lncongruous to believe that the sinner will |
be damned for bis sin. Tie only punish
ment of sin is the consequences which 1T |
entails, The sinner Furnishes
himself. God In mercy heals tie open
wounds which men by wrong doing have
inflicted upon themselves. TIE night J
with its horror of damnation is far spent,
the dawn of a religion with Partners
impartial love Is at hand. 1t does not
yet appear what the full grown day shall
bring forth. We only know that it will
be In harmony with Divine Love.

AT THE CHURCHES
Methodist

The subject of the sermon last Sunday
morning was "Love" and the text is
found in 1 Cor 1913, "And now abideth
faith, hope, charity, these three; but the
greatest of these is charity"
The pastor, in explaining the chapter,
said in part" Though speak with the
tongues of men and of angels, The
Corinthian had a great desire for the gift
of tongues, because it was believed by
heathen peoples to be sign of great re-
ligious experience. They wanted to be
able to speak with the "tongues of men,
But Paul says Though speak with the
tongues of men ana of angels, and have
not charity, / am become as sounding
brass or a tinkling cymbal."
Charity has changed its meaning. In
Paul's time it meant love, but in our
time it means alms-giving. What is love?
You may all have had an experimental
knowledge of love, but you can never
know fully what it is. Divine love is the
greatest of all. Love envieth not"
That is one of the things that makes for
the permanence of love. " Is not pulled
up" One of the saddest things that can
come to a man is to be pulled up. 1t I'M
fits one for the seriousness OF life.
Rev. Geo. w. Hunt preached in the
evening from the text found in Isaiah
63 :1-6.

The Lamoille Valley Fair

The postponed races were pulled off
Friday afternoon as announced, over 1000
people being present. While the races
were won in straight heats, they were
closely contested for the most part and
pretty to watch. The failure of Silverheels
to win first money in the 2;14 stake race,
put damper on the enthusiasm of local
and nearby sports, although they are still
ready to back him against the handsome
mare, Lady Isle, under favorable circum-
stances. 1t is generally conceded, even
by supporters of Lady Isle, that the alb
sence of his regular driver had much to
do with Silverheel's failure to show his
usual speed.
The other races were not especially
thrilling, although considerable excite
ment was caused when Alcan was thrown
in the second heat in the 2:30 class, just
as he was coming into the home stretch.
Frank Lang, the driver, did great work
in holding the animal down until help
could reach him. Horse and driver es-
