Hixh Prices and Gems.


From ths Buffalo EIyresa
Though the United States. in common
with other countries, in the last year has
faced high and advancing prices, there
appears to be no lack of money for lux
uries. The report of the Federal ap-
praiser at New York shows that the i'm
portations Of precious stones through
that port were the third highest in the
country's history. The value OF gems re-
ceived at New York was SIS. 445.2sS. and
estimating this figure as IS per cent Of
the total receipts. the importation for tho
year ended June 30 totaled. roughly. $n.-
100000.
The gem market. however. reflects but
slightly the general trade. commercial
and Industrial conditions. An advance In
food prices means but little to the chief
customers Of the jewelers.. But the thriv-
ing market for gems does show conf
dence in continued income from invest-
ments ir industry and trade. D.
The report reveals comparative pros
perity in the jewelers. trade. That tho
demand for gems is heavy Is shown by
the formal announcement OF a 8 per cent
advance, and. in addition, there has been
q General tendency toward rising prices.
The report. in recording an Increasing
demand for pearls, shows that impetus
has been given one industry.

For Years. Thought
Each Other Dead

Valdosta. July 10-Wm. Court
ney, of Boston, Mass, reached
Valdosta yesterday on a visit to
his brother, George Courtney,
whom he had not seen in thirty
years, and whom, until a few
weeks ago, he did not know was
alive. The brothers became sep
arated many years ago, one To-
eating in Boston and the other
coming south.
AS the years sped away they
did not hear from another and
finally each concluded that the
other was dead. Through a mere
accident George Courtney learn
ed that his brother was living and
wrote to him, with the result of
a happy reunion.
The Boston Courtney will spend
the remainder of the summer and
winter here. He has never be en-
in the south before.

DISASTER OF 30 YEARS

TO THE TITANIC H0RRER

The most remarkable iceberg col
lision on record previous to the dis
aster of the Titanic, happened in 1879
when the then biggest liner in the
world. the Arizona, plowing at full
speed through a heavy sea about 250
miles out of St. John's-not far from
where the White Star liner met de-
struction the other day-rammed a
monster iceberg.
1t was midnight when the awful
crash came. There were 500 souls
on board. bound from New York to
Liverpool. Sleepers were flung from
their berths. Crashing, groaning ice
as 1t was pushed into the opened
bow of the boat filled the air with
indescribable noise.
Men and women rushed in their
night garments TO the deck. Cries
that the ship was sinking rent the
air. Strong, able-bodied men fought
with women and children for life
preseryers and a chance to get near
the lifeboats. Officers were begged
to cast adrift the boats. The shrieks
of the half-clad men and women and
children who charged for the boats
made up a pandemouium equaling
most the roar of the breaking berg.
Alternately the passengers pleaded
piteously and cursed violently the Of
! ficers and the crew for not lowering
the lifeboats. Passengers in the
steerage We're beaten back and awed

told. A. New York millionaire came

Several passengers were pulled away
from the rail when they tried to jumr

leave what they thought was sink

convinced them that the vessel would
