CONGRESS Should Aid Hatters.

Congress ought to lend willing ear
to the plea of the hatters. 1t has been
repeatedly proved that in the enact
ment of the Sherman law there was no
intention of making 1t apply to labor
organizations. In the enactment of the
Clayton bill last fall this opinion was
confirmed by making a specific exemp
ton Of labor unions and voluntary as
sociations of farmers. Since the courts
have interpreted the Sherman law in a
way that congress never intended, ii
now becomes the duty Of congress to
compensate the hatters for the cost of
it's own error Of omission. 1t is mani
festly unfair to require the defendant
hatters to sacrifice their small homes
or savings because of an unintentional
piece of legislation, when II the same
occurrence should happen today under
the present law no such penalty could
be imposed.

OPPOSES REPEAL OF
FULL GREW LAW
Governor Of New Jersey Against
Proposed Legislation.

Governor Fielder of New Jersey has
taken a decided stand against the re-
peal of the full crew law as provided
in bill introduced in the assembly.
The governors letter, written as n
result Of numerous communications for
and against the repeal, is as follows:
II am receiving many letters on this
subject (as well as petitions), making it
apparent that the signatures thereto:
are being solicited. suspect that many
who sign them know little or nothing
of the reason for the present law or
what the result of the passage of the
pending bills would be, and | do not
think you can be familiar with the
provisions Of the bill, which it Is claim
ed will give the public utility commits
sion ample power to regulate the num-
Der of trainmen necessary for the safe
operation of passenger and freight
trains.
This bill was introduced in the as
sembly March 2. and the advertise
ments which the railroads have caused
it at length with approval and urge
its passage. 1t provides that the pub
lie utility commission shall have power
to require any railroad doing business
in this state, either for the hauling of
passengers or freight to determine the
number Of trainmen to be hired to
operate such trains and that the com
missioners may make rules and orders
for the operating Of such trains, as
they may deem needful.
IF you will read the words carefully
you will observe that the utility com
mission is not given the slightest
power to specify the number of men
necessary on trains, and all that the
bill proposes is to give the commission
the foolish right to require the railroads
to determine such number. Moreover.
because the bill refers only to COM
panies doing business in this state l
am afraid it would not apply to those
doing interstate business and the last
clause Of the bill, relating to orders
and rules for operating trains, gives
the commission no wider powers than
| 1t now has under the act constituting
| it, by which 1t is empowered to order
| railroads ito furnish safe, adequate and
proper service and which power has
| never been thought to include the right
| to compel full crew."

Diamond Oldest Of RIohes.

The discoverer of diamonds is un
known. From references in, Exodus IL
Is apparent that the diamond was q
precious stone in Egypt in those early
times; and even before that it was
known in India, where probably it was
first obtained. The name is derived
from the Greek word "adamas," mean
Ing "unsubduable."
From Pliny, a writer of the first cen
fury, we learn that the diamond was
regarded as the most valuable Of all
things, and only a few kings ever
could afford to buy them. But as no
means of artificial polishing had been
discovered the stone deprecated In
value, so that the ruby and the emer-
aid became more precious. The dis.
covery by Ludwig Won Berquen, in
1875, Of q mode of polishing and cut
ting it at once returned this gem to
the first place among precious stones.

HADN'T THOUGHT ABOUT THAT

purchase pair Of scales, that she
might be able to keep tab On the re,
markable growth of her first born.
When she got the scales home and
weighed the baby for the first time the
little bunch of humanity did not quite
measure up to her expectations and
she promptly carried them back,
stating that they were not satisfac-
tory. Asked by the storekeepcr what
the difficulty was, she replied:

baby did not weigh as much as | think
she ought to-"
Did it ever occur to YOU" asked the
hard-hearted seller Of hardware, that
the fault might be with the baby and
not the scales?"
She saw the point and kept the

works, are like the familiar red, white
and blue lights used in Fourth of July
celebrations to illuminate streets and
parks. Sappers go out in front of the
trenches with flares, which are then
connected with the headquarters Of
the officers in command of the first
line, who by setting them off at In
tervals throughout the night, can keep
the battle front continually lighted.
Star bombs are also adaptations Of
modern fireworks. They are shot
from mortars into the sky, where for
twenty minutes they will give off an
intense light over a wide circle Of the
surrounding country. Before one
bomb dies out another is shot into the
air. A kind Of star bomb, shot into
the sky like an ordinary rocket, Is

The ring is quite large and fits the
numb OF an ordinary hand. 1t is set
with a brilliant ruby. 1t had been
Luther's personal ring, given to him
when he was ordained.
For 400 years the ring remained in
possession of the notwithstanding
family of Leipsic, Of whose family Lu-
thers bride was member and from
whom Mrs. Pinkert is descended. For
100 years it was in possession of that
branch of the family OF which the wife
OF Rev. N c. Walters of st. Luke's
church, Leipsic, was a member, A
rev years ago she gave the ring to
Baroness Won Georgi, her niece.
There has been a tradition that the
ring should never be worn except by
the eldest daughter of the direct de.
scendant; also that it should be worn
only on the hand of the daughter who
became the wife of a clergyman. Bar
oness Won Georgi, although the eldest
daughter, gave this ring to her sister,
Mrs. Ptnkert, last summer when Doc
tor and Mrs. Pinkert visited the old
nome Of Waldenburg, near Leipsic.
Doctor Pinkert, desiring to be as
sured q its genuineness, consulted
Carl Je ch Of the Leipsic institute
Of art, d he gave it as his opinion
that it y s genuine.
This rs was referred to by H. Noel
Humphrey, an authority in an article
