WHY Is a Diamond Brilliant ?

The prismatic brilliancy of the Diamond is
the light reflected through its facets. The best
cut stone is the most perfect gem. Unless the
Diamond is perfectly cut the light does not re-
fleet any brilliancy from the stone, because the
brilliancy is not in the stone If the brilliancy
of the Diamond was in the stone, where was the
brilliancy before it was cut and polished and
where has it gone when the diamond is placed
in total darkness? Therefore, facets, light, and
reflections of light produce that most admired
briliancy of the Diamond-Saadi

ARBITRATION CLAUSE.
Bill for Its Repeal Strongly Opposed
BY Insurance Men.

Tie biennial agitation for the re-
peal of the arbitration clause OF tho
staudard insurance policy was thrcSh-
rd out Thursday afternoon before tht
eonmittc" on mercantile affairs and
Insurance. Insurance lnen were pres
ent. from all over the State represent
ing various fire Insurance companies
and presented a solid front against the
repeal of the clause.
Speaker Morev vas the first speaker
in favor Of the bill for the repeal of
the clause which was introduced by
Representative Trafton of Fort Fair
field Mr.. Morcy was very emphatic
in his opposition to tin arbitration
clause and told how various attempt
had been made to get il out of the
stamford policy. He spoke Of the men
selected by the Insurance companies
rs ariitrators as men trained for that
purpose.
Representative Pattangall of Water
Willie said that while arbitration WAS
in itself a just thing, compulsory arbi-
tratlon was unjust. The CLAUSE WAS
unfair as the Insurance companies
could waive arbitration and allow the
case h. go 10 the courts while the
"ecsrn insured was Obliged to arbi-
trate if the company wished it He
Thought tlat the insurance men who
believed that the repeal Of the arb
tration clause would work great harm
were more frightened than hurt.

held Thursday afternoon in the hall OF

Frederick W. IIinckiey, representing the

of the committee on sea and shore fish
cries, before which the bill was heard.
He demanded that the chairman of the
committee under joint rule Il, which says
that no member shall be permitted to
vote on any question in either branch of
the Legislature. nor in committee. whose
private right, distinct from public inter-
est is Immediately involved, step down
and out. Mr.. Ilinckley also contended
that the hearing was improperly called
and that the hearing on the first DlaS
had been held and mat If another bill
was before the committee neither he nor
seven members of the committee whom
he had interviewed had heard of it.
Senator Mayo on the first proposition
declared that Mr. Hinckley had conficted
him with y. II. Mayo. who is in the cam
ming business. On the other proposition
he said that he had il on as good au-
thority as there was i'll the State that he
had perfect right to rehear the bill.
Further passages between the attorney
and the chairman followed and finally
Senator Mayo inquired if Mr.. Hinckley
would admit that the attorney general OF

that the committee had a right to hear
the bill. ''If the attorney general VIII
