SoLoNS MEET AGAIN.

ALBANY. N. Y. Sept. 6.-The New
York legislature reassembled today to
consider the subjects OF congressional
reapportionment and the proposed new
charter for New York City. The sub
ject OF the charter is the one in which
most interest is manifested. Whether
the Tammany influence can master
enough votes among the Independent
Democrats to put the measure through
is matter of much speculation. The
Republican members of the assembly
are believed to be solidly opposed to
it
The Legislature will take the action
necessary for the rcapportionment to
the state into forty.three congression-
al districts. There are now thirty
seven districts, represented by fifteen
Republicans and twenty-five Demo
Gratis. The ratio of population under
the present apportionment averaged

tionment will be PISA

fNTERCLASS TRACK MEET
High School Boys to Contest at Ex-
position Park This Week

The high school annual interclass
track meet will be run off at Exposi-
ton park Thursday and Friday after
moons of this week. II was planned
to have the meet on Saturday, but
the ball team is booked to play at
Maquoketa On that date, and a number
of the players wished to enter the
meet. 1t is hoped that the finances of
the association may be slightly recup-
Grated by the charging of a very small
fee TO the students. Sixteen dollars
was the proceeds from the tri-city
meet last Saturday. 1t is generally
figured that Kone of the sophomores
will take the dashes, Behnamann of
the juniors, the distance runs, while
the seniors look strong on the field
and in the hurdles. The odds would
seem to favor the juniors winning the
cup.

DOCTORING A DIAMOND.
Trick That Makes Yellow Stone Ap-
near Clear Blue White.


pear Clear Blue White.
Let me show you a little trick that
would advise you not to put into prac-
tice, said jewel fancier to a number
of friends the other day.
The conversation had turned to dia-
monds during the midday luncheon,
and the expert had been holding forth
on his favorite subject The little
group OF st. Louisans were interested
still more when the speaker drew a
big solitaire from his finger and beck
oned q waiter across the cafe.
Bring me a glass Of water and an
indelible pencil" said he when the
servitor came over to the table.
This is a trick that is essentially
crooked" said the jewel fancier. "and
will get by nine times out of ten even
when the examiner is an expert at
judging precious stones and detecting
trickery. It will make a yellow of
color diamond look like a stone of the
very first water. Pawnbrokers in
Vulnerable have been fooled by this
same trick, as it is extremely difficult
to detect even with a powerful glass"
The expert took the pencil and allow
ed the tndelible lead to dissolve in
the glass Of water. In a couple of
minutes the water was as blue as indi-
go water.
''Now watch" said the man who
knew the lore of jewels.
He took the ring and dropped It into
the glass. It's brilliancy was dimmed
by the hazy, blush water until it look
ed like a dead stone.
"Now, you noted" said the demon
strator, that the diamond I placed in
there was a bit yellow. 1t will be
clear blush white when it comes out
of its bath"
At the end Of a minute the stone was
taken out. The top of the gem was
dried with q soft handkerchief and
then the ring was waved to and fro
for a few moments. It was held up
for inspection. Not a gIeam Of yellow
was to be seen. The stone was ap-
parently a magnificent blue white gem
that any one would be proud to own
and loathe to pledge.
''It Ia the blue pigment deposited on
the back Of the stone that has made
the difference" said the jewel expert.
"The deposit is so filmy that a strong
glass cannot detect It You cannot see
1t from the rear Of the mounting and
only q bath Of alcohol will remove 1t.
1t WIN stay on the gem for weeks If It
Is Eot removed In that way. 1t used
to be a favorite trick Of many folks
who now and again had to put dia.
mond into the hands OF a pawnbroker.
''The trick is called doctoring a
stone but, as said In the beginning,
1 would not advise yod to try il. Il
don't know what the law on such
matters ts In Missouri. but there are
states where q person convicted of
such an offense would serve a long
penttentiary term for his cleyerness."-

How Artificial Furs Are Made.

The raw pieces of pelt are frozen
and the skin carefully shaved or,
thawed and sent to the tapneries to
be made into leather The frozen fur
which remains is allowed to thaw
slightly at the bottom, so that a small
part of the hair is freed from ice.
This thawed portion is then covered
with a solution of rubber, which is
allowed to set
The result is that large seamless
pieces of fur are obtained much
cheaper than those which come with
the natural skin. These same artif-
cial furs are said to be more lasting
than the real. because they are i'm
mune from the attacks Of moths

The Theatre
POWERS IN "HAvANA."

While the announcements refer to
him as Mr.. James T. Powers" he is
still the same old giggling Jimmie
Powers whom we recall in numerous
musical productions during the past
two decades. Powers may be able to
get the name spelled out, la one Will
lie Collier, in the marriage and burial
certificates, but to the patrons Of the
theatre of his time he will always be
known as Jimmie Powers; shifting,
smiling Jimmie, with the raspy voice.
Powers was at the Illinois last night
in Havana" a musical vehicle that
has served his purpose three continu-
Gus seasons, and been proftably re-
ceived on both sides Of the Atlantic.
1t affords plenty Of opening for the dis
play of the peculiar antics of Powers,
and he makes the most of all of them.
There is little time during the three
acts that Powers is not in the picture,
and you are always glad to have him
there, as he is one Of those funny men
who do not grow tiTesome Havana"
is a Shubert attraction Powers has
been placed in the center of a group of
capable principals, although few of
these other than the star have little
chance in the play to show their tai
ents to advantage. The chorus is nice
to look at, sings pleasingly and maneu-
vers gracefully. The attendance was
small, owing doubtless to the warm
weather conditions Havana" was
the last attraction of the season at the
Illinois.
