years ago by Bro John r. Williams

Mrs. Carter met death with a

of "a unfaltering trust in him who

rs Million Campaign this institution
will receive 100000 for the erection
of additional buildings and 100000
for an endowment that will enable
the sanatorium to minister to those
INDECENT patients who are unable to
pay for treatment.
That there is an imperative need
for ali institution of this character
is shawn in the fact that all institu-
tions in the South and Southwest for
the treatment of tuberculosis have
total capacity Of only S,757 beds, or
one bed for only one person out OF
every. sixty in this section who are at
flicted
Everything connected with the Bap-
tist Sanatorium is modern and OF the
very best, but its present equipment
is far too small to cope with the de-
marlds that are made upon 1t. OF the
improvement fund that is to be pro-
vided, 100000 Is available already
and architects are already designing
new buildings worth $450,000. These
will be constructed Just as rapidly az
possible.
While the sanatorium is being op-
Grated by the Baptists, 1t will be open
to the people Of all creeds and no
creed. Due to the crowded conditions,
however, it is necessary that arrange
ments be made in advance by commu-
nicating with DIR. H. F. Vermillion, SUI
perintendent, at Ell Paso.
The sanatorium is under the gen.
eral supervision Of the Home Mission
Board of the Southern Baptist Con-
vention, and in addition to treating
patients who have already contracted
tuberculosis, it will seek through a
campaign of publicity, to so inform
the people of the South and South
west on the nature and prevention OF
this disease that the alarming death
rate from the white plague can be i'm
mediately lowered and finally reduced
to the minimum.

Do you know that tuberculosis is
more prevalent in the South than IN
any other part of the country?
That the death rate from tuberculo-
BIS here is 142 per cent greater than
for the nation as a whole, and greater

globe with the exception of China?
That more than 100 people day, or

found that he suffered financial reverses and other
personal misfortunes
Hope is credited with having given the diamond
to his daughter at the time she married the sixth
duke OF Newcastle in 1861. But apparently 1t was
the fiction mOngers and not she who bequeathed
the gem to her son, Lord Francis Hope, that 1t
might get sensatOnally into the life Of May Yohe,
the American actress.
This part Of the story is mere fiction 1t is true
that May Yohe married Lord Francis Hope. 1t
is true that she eloped with Capt. Putnam Brad
lee Strong. son of former mayor of New York.
Lord Francis obtained divorce, and the wife
married Captain Strong. only to be divorced u
second time.
But May Yohe although she has been quoted as
saying that she wore the Hope diamond only
twice and that her troubles due to its maign
influence probably never the stone. Ger
tainly Lord Francis never had possession of 1t.
So, when the story goes on to say that he sold
1t for $l6S,OOO to Joseph Franke, New York
jeweer the statement is untrue.
1t is true that Frankel had the gem In New
York. Where and from whom Franke acquired
the stone never has been made clear, but the
stone went back to Paris and into the possession
of Jacques Colet who bought 1t from Franke.
Coet has been reported as having killed himself
after losing his mind.
Before that tragedy, however the diamond is
reputed to have passed into the ownership of
Prince Ivan Kanitowski, and the legend promptly
dsposes of the prince at the hands of a mob of
Russian revoutonists. Thence the story skips to
the murder of Mile Ladue. to whom the Russian
prince had loaned the diamond. A Jealous adj
mrer is charged with this murder.
Next in the legend of the jewel is listed Simon
Moncharides, of whose identity there appears to
be uncertainty. But the legend sends him riding
close enough to precipice to be thrown over and
killed. Just before his death Moncharides is cred
tied with having sold the diamond to Sem Habib
Persian, who acted agent for the Sultan
Abdul Hamd.
One version of the next chapter Is that Habib
drowned in a wreck and the diamond lost
The publication of this later explained as a
ruse to throw thieves off the trail. This version
takes the stone TO Constantinople, where 1t cuts
wide swath in violence, misfortune and death and
finally brings about the end of Abdul Hamid
Be all that as it may. II appears that Instead of
having drowned with the gem In the shipwreck
Habib got back to Paris with it. 1t was sold at
auction for $4,000 June "a, 1909
The gem then passed into possession of p c.
Cartier and the Cartier firm brought it to this
country. In January, 1911 announcement was
made that the stone had been sold to the Mclean
family and that the purchase price was $1SOOOO

lic according to the newspapers.

Are the McLeans superstitious about the beau

one of the stories about the stone since it has been
in their possession to indicate that its evil
reputation had its effect upon them.
Anyway. the story goes, there was some hitch
about the payment of the purchase price of the
stone 1t evidently not because of lack of
money There law suit In the course of
the controversy stories were printed to show that
Mr. Mclean harbored feeling Of timidity be-
cause of the evil history attributed to the stone
