in 1880 a dealer in precious stones offered
to London jewelers. a marvellous gem. II
weighed Az carats, being without the
triangular projection that had marked
the wonderful stone Of the French King.
The man who offered il for sale said
he had bought it from L stranger and
had asked no questions. Investigation
proved to the satisfaction of the jewelers.
of the day that it was IN fact the stone
known now as the Hope diamond.
Henry Thomas Hope, a banker. who
had amassed immense wealth for those
days heard OF the gem, and, after some
negotiations, bought it. Neither seller
nor buyers revealed the price. which has
been stated at from $4,000 to $4,000.
Made Hope Famous.
Whatever i'll fortune possession of the
stone brought to Hope. it made him
famous, at any rate. He probably cOu-
sidered himself well repaid for his out
lay when. in 1861. his daughter Henrietta
married the sixth Duke of Newcastle.
Besides several millions in gold from
her fathers treasury. she was given, as
part of her enormous dowry, the famous
Hope diamond.
Ore Of the two sons of this lady in
herited the ducaI title and estates; the
second inherited, among other things, the
Hope diamond
This unfortunate, Lord Francis Hope.
became known the world over because of
his misfortunes. They may or may not
have been due to the diamond. Who
knows?
His early career was not such as to in
vite the continued stay of the goddess of
good luck beneath his roof. and he soon
astonished his own social, aristocratic
world by marrying May Yohe. a concert
hall singer.
The marriage proved an unhappy one.
Lord Francis Hope, in time. after all
sorts and conditions of troubles. was led
not only to seek divorce from his wife,
but a sale of the splendid gem. which had
graced the tiara of the former concert
hall singer on many social occasions dur
ing their life together.
Strong Objection Made.
Strenuous objection to the disposal of
the diamond was interposed by Lord
Hopes family. They had seen him floun-
dering year after year deeper in financial
distress and social disrepute, but insisted
that he retain the gem hoodoo.
Finally the courts permitted him to dis
pose of the stone, and soon afterward
freed him from his CALLING marital bond.
1t was estimated at, the time that the
diamond was worth SIPS 200. In course of
time it came into the hands of a New
York firm of diamond merchants.
For five years, it is said. the New York
firm held the diamond, offering it to va
rious millionaires without success. Then
the diamond merchants fell into unex-
pected financial difficulties.
About two years ago the diamond was
sold in Paris, it was stated, far 100000
The purchaser was the Sultan of Tur-
key What has happened to the Sultan
since is well known.

that the Hope diamond was sold yes

defeating vote on the measure might be
shaped up If it would help matters any
in getting final adjournment.
Former Senator Aldrich himself is no
enthusiast over the reciprocity agree
ment He only advised his old COM
mittee to report the measure in order
to cause the blame for nOn-action to
rest on many more shoulders than those
of the committee members. He probably
told Florida fishing stories in lieu of
outlining what he might have attempted
in regard to the measure had he been
in Washington during the closing stren-
uous days. He announced, in fact, as
he departed. that he realized that he was
no longer a member of the Senate.

President Taft and the whole White
House force was genuinely glad to well
come Senator Aldrich back. which was
evidenced by the fact that Secretary Nor
ton emerged from his,office with him and
accompanied him to the outer door, a
courtesy seldom extended to a White

President delayed his departure for din
