Oppression of the Rich.

The burdens which are laid upon the rich are becoming more and more oppressive by the London syndicate which has a practical monopoly of the raw diamond supply. The har- rowing report comes from London that d refinement of cruelty is now being practiced by the syndicate, which had already increased prices by several five per cent raises
 Instead of further raising the price, as it is in its power to do, it has adopted a plan for forcing dia- monds of inferior quality and size upon buyers; that is, buyers for the diamond cutters.
 The diamonds are put into an as- sortment which might be called a job lot, and a price of from s2O0, 900 to half million is put on it. The buyer by a previous arrangement is given what is called sight" at a certain hour of certain day. He must be there on the minute; otherwise his sight" lapses and he goes on the waiting list for another sight" The sight" is merely the opportunity to say whether he will take the lot at the price fixed. There is no chaffer- ing or selection. Yes or no. If no" he retires to the waiting list for the next sight"
 But this new mode of oppression is partially offset by a concession which has just been made by the diamond cutters union of Amsterdam. which has just given its consent to the in- troduction of 2,2O0 new apprentices into the cutting trade But this con- cession itself is offset in a great measure by the adoption of the eight hour day at Amsterdam, so that in the end and in the aggregate it will cost about as much to finish dia- mond as before
 Taking it. all in all, the outlook for American millionaires. American bar tenders. American hotel clerks and the actresses of all nations is about as gloomy as it could well be Un- less unexpected relief comes, there will be positive suffering in these aforenamed ranks. whose members will be driven to the use of Brazilian or Arizona diamonds for refulgent purposes.

A WOMAN MAKES MILLIONS
 ALONE

From d position as stenographer at S1O week to the possession of a for tune rated in millions is a long step for woman, but it was accomplished by Mrs. Ora Hood Russell of Chicago in little more than ten years, and the fortune is all of her own making. gained by her shrewdness in specula- tion in oil lands. She went to work in a lawyers office in Chicago when she was IS years old, and it chanced that the man to whom she was married a year or two afterward was practical oil man. Mrs. Russell took keen in terest in his work, and on his death decided to go into the oil business herself With more than ordinary courage she risked her first profits on a trip to Venezuela, and was so pleased with the oil prospects there that she hurried back to the United States and tried to interest American capital But she could find few to share her faith. and finally had to give up the scheme. A chance visit to Wayne county. Kentucky, con vinced her that the, oil fields there could be worked to tremendous advan- tage, but once again she found capital shy. Cndismayed by the gloomy prophecies of others, Mrs. Russell spent every cent she owned or could raise in taking options and leases on land, and, though the success of her first wells was such as to bring thou sands of investors and speculators be- hind her, Mrs. Russell had made such good use of her start that she now has several thousand acres under her complete and individual control-New York Press.

The Power of the Suqar Trust.

There must have been q friendly understanding between the Sugar Trust and the customs service a dozen years ago. according to the evidence being adduced at the trial of the weighing frauds. It has been brought out that when an employe insisted that the sugar company should deal fairly with the government he was mysteriously dispossessed of his job, or was removed to some position in which he could not gall the trust.
 One of the witnesses the other day was William J. Hornby. an assistant weigher. who said that he was em- ployed on the Williamsburg docks in 1896. Hornby said that he had been threatened by James F. Bendernagel, cashier for the Havemeyer & Elder refinery, with removal, and the threat was promptly executed.
 The circumstances of the conversa- tion as testified to by Hornby were that he found several bags of sugar on the docks which hadn't been weighed. He went back to weigh them and met Bendernagel, who told him that the sugar had been weighed. A dispute arose between the two men and Bendernagel told Hornby: I've got better heads in the custom house than yours. and I'll get that" Horn day from the cargo he was weighing and the next day was removed from the dock.
 Another witness, also an assistant weigher. reported to his superiors that he had discovered that one of the scales ~on which sugar was weighed had been fixed. The witness was transferred to another point, were the crookedness Of the Sugar Trust would not offend his eye.
 These things happened a dozen years ago, but the evidence shows that the same influence was exerted successfully against vigilant govern ment employees up to a very recent period; in fact. up to the time that Collector Loeb discovered the need of house cleaning His was the first willing ear open to the com plaints of subordinates who were aware of the vast and long contin- ued fraud

ICON" TAUGHT LAW TO JURiS'
Justice Harlan Told That Boys Couldn't Be Made to Give Up Seats to Women.

Washington-Associa Justice John Marshall Harlan of the United States supreme court is Kentuckian and a gallant one at that. This being so, he does not believe in men occupying seats in street cars while women are stand ing He made the point clear on his way down town the other morning on q crowded Fourteenth street car.
 The justice was standing in front of a seat occupied by two colored youths. The car stopped and in came two gray haired women, one feeble. The gallant justice assisted them into the car. He looked directly at the two colored boys. but without results.
 Then the wrath of the justice boiled over. Emphasizing every point with his gold headed walking stick, he sailed in.
 Why do you not give these ladies your seats?" he exclaimed. Are you both so old that you must occupy seats while women stand?"
 Neither of +he boys answered nor at tempted to arise.
 Reckoning to the conductor, Justice Harlan asked him:
 Can't you make those fellows get up and give the ladies their seats?"
 Why, boss" said the conductor un- aware that he was addressing one of the most eminent legal authorities in the United States. that's against the law I can't ask them to get up, for in the eyes of the law one passenger is as good as another, and if I did they might sut the company"
 The justice appeared dazed. It prob- ably was the first time he ever had been coached in law by a street rail- way conductor. But the negroes rode on serenely-Chicago Tribune.

RIPARIAN RIGHTS
Do not Hold In Arizona, by the Decision of the United States Supreme
 Court.

Col. H. L. Pickett today received telegram from the clerk of the U $. supreme court at Washington, D. C., advising him that the ease of the Boquilas Land & Cattle Co.,, vs. J. N. Curtis, ct al, was today decided by that tribunal in favor of Curtis, ct al., who are settlers just north of the Boquillas land grant on the San Pedro river.
 This decision is one of the most important in the history of land cases in Arizona, goes deeply into the legal rights of settlers on the perplexing and entangling question of water rights, and by reason of its far-reaching effect establishes legal and positive authority on future Arizona disputes involving the same question. Col. Pickett, since interesting himself in the in- terest of the St. David settlers in the prosecution of the case, held that the doctrine of riparian rights does not prevail in Arizona and success fully won out in this contention through the succession of Arizona courts and the same since affirmed in the U. $. courts, the Colonel having recently returned from Washington where he made an argument before that tribunal on this case.
 Curtis and his predecessors in interest appropriated water frcm the San Pedro river in 1897 taking out their ditch on land belonging to the Boquillas land grant. The court records in this county show a maze of litigation involving lanC and water disputes but this ques tion is undoubtedly the most i'm portant, the decision meaning tha the settlers had the right to gC upon the land grant and make tn, appropriation, that the doctrine o riparian rights does not prevail il Arizona and is not suited to tn, conditions that exist in the ari( region of the west.-Tombston Prospector.

Under the system advocated the
commercial courses and the manual
training would be taken in the in
termediate division and every effort
made to make the school course up to
the close of the division, practical in
its aims and contrived to fit the needs
of the boys and girls who will not
enter the high school. There would be
no graduation from the first division,
comprising the first six grades.
The work Of the high school, which
would comprise the last three years of
the present high school course, would
be made preparatory to university
education. > "
It is believed by it's advocates that
this plan, rather than being a greater
expense, would be, sin fact, a measure
of economy, utilizing space in school
buildings where it is now unused. The
chief argument in it's favor, is that it
would be the best possible prepara-
ton for work for the boy or girl leav-
ing school before finishing the high
school course, and at the same time
allowing, in: the efforts Of the teachers
on work preparatory to university
studies. >::~ A. (: ~ :. Z.

\SPeciai TO the AMOR WORLDLY
MINNEAPOLIS, May 27.-Important
changes in educational systems Of the
Minneapolis public schools are to be
advocated by the Minneapolis Com
mercial club, through it's committee
on education. This committee, after
considerable research and discussion,
with investigation of educational sys-
TENS / nthe United States and Europe,
is about to make its suggestions to the
board 'of education. These sueges-
lions will take the form of memorial
from the Commercial club.
A new division of the education
system will be advocated. This, it is
argued could best be brought about by
consolidating the present seventh and
eighth grades and the first year of the
present high school course into new
intermediate division.
+ For Three Divisions.
+ There would be three divisions: The
first would comprise the grades, one
to six the second would comprise the
present seventh and eighth grades and
the first year of the present high
school course; the third would com
prise the second, third and fourth
years Of the present high school
course. ~ . H. u. M. s-,9,5.

Of Chicago, general secretary-treasur-

After the meeting Mr. Dolan said
that the meeting had no connection
with the strike situation row on the
Great Lakes I'VE hold series Of
meetings at the principal ports around
the lake once a year. said Mr.. Dolan.
These meetings are for the tug and
dredge men exclusively, and are for
che purpose of getting acquainted with
the men, explaining many points
about the contracts that may not be
thoroughly understood and to render
ing any other services that may be
in our power. Within the past two
weeks we have visited and held meet
ings at Detroit. Amherstbusg, Ont,
Buffalo, Cleveland, Chicago, Milwau-
kee and the Soo
we are working under contract
with the vessel men and our agree
ment has a year to run yet therefore
any talk of calling our men out on
a strike is all nonsense. There is
nothing to it, Of course all union
men are interested in. the outcome of
, the strike, but we are not in position
to do anything in the matter at this
time. This is the last of the series
Of meetings.
Before the meeting, Mr.. Wirth said:
lowing to the fact that we happen to
be holding these joint meetings around
the lakes just at this time, many peo-
pie have surmised that we were about
to take some action regarding the
strike of the seamen on the great
lakes, but such is not the case. This
ends the series of meetings, and the
others will leave for their homes, but
I shall go to Port Arthur in the
morning on the steamer Easton. We
have local union of the dredge work
ers at that place. On Sunday 1 shall
return and meet with the local union
at the Richelieu hotel, in Superior in
the afternoon

mems protective association, will re-
main at his home in this city for the
present.
