A DEAL IS DIAMONDS | The True Story of an Ingenious Swindle In London. A CLEVERLY WORKED GAME. 1 It Netted an Impecunious Russian No bleman a Thousand Pounds Sterling. The Easy Manner In Which Count Sacha Got Something For Nothing. Count Sacha Koubletsky was on Ilia beam ends In London. To the world i he was still a dashing voung noble- j man, son of an Immensely wealthy Russian prince, but in point of fact I he was financially at his last gasp. He wanted a thousand or so for nothing. That was the problem he de bated as he sat in his lodging smoking cigarette after cigarette. At last he rose with a satisfied smile. Next morn ing Count Sacha called on Messrs. j Sparkle & Shine, the well known Bond street jewelers. He explained who he was and that he had come to select ; some jewelry for his sweetheart. From the glittering tray he selected a beautiful stone, price £SOO. He then explained that, his remittances being delayed, he was not In a position to complete the purchase at the moment, and, iu any case, he wished first to submit the stoue to his sweetheart's approval. He added suavely that as he was un known to Messrs. Sparkle & Shine he could not expect them to part with the gem without making inquiries, but ; they were at liberty to apply to the j Russian embassy for any information they desired concerning him. He would return the following day and, everything being satisfactory, take the diamond. To this the jewelers agreed and, In quiring at the Russian embassy, were informed that Count Sacha was un- | questionably the son of a wealthy j prince and that they would probably j be safe in giving him credit for even , more than the amount mentioned. Tliey did not know at the embassy that Sacha had been disowned by his , father, and they were agreeable to the count's own suggestion that a member of the embassy should attend at the jeweler's next day to identify him. This was done, and" Count Sacha re ceived the diamond. The same day lie called at a big pawnbroker's and, i mentioning airily that he was in tem porary difficulties, pledged the diamond for the small sum of £SO. The next day found Count Sacha 1 again at Messrs. Sparkle & Shine's. His sweetheart, lie said, was enchant ed with the diamond, but nothing would satisfy her now but that she should have another diamond abso lutely matching the first. The jewelers explained that to match such a stone would be a matter of great difficulty and the price of the second gem would be enormously in creased—in short, for such a pair of twin diamonds they would have to j charge £3,000. Count Sacha shrugged ' his shoulders. The price was stiff, but j he could deny his sweetheart nothing, j Would Messrs. Sparkle & Shine please I at once set about procuring the second ! diamond? The jewelers, being unable to match the diamond themselves, wrote to the ' leading dealers and pawnbrokers de-! scribing the stofie they wanted and j intimating that they were prepared to j go as far as £2,000 for a perfect speci-' men. Among those they wrote to was | the pawnbroker with whom Couut Sa-1 cha had pledged the original diamond, | which was Just what that ingenious rascal expected. A few days later Count Sacha called at the pawnbroker's to redeem his dia mond. The pawnbroker had had Messrs. Sparkle & Shine's letter, and. remembering the beautiful diamond pledged with him a day or two before, j lie had examined It and found that it j met all of Sparkle & Shine's require- ' ments. The count redeemed the stone, and then the pawnbroker inquired whether I by any chance he would care to sell it. ! Oh, no! It was a family heirloom. His customer would not dream of part- ! ing with it. That was a pity, said the pawnbro-! ker. He had chanced to show the dia-! znond to his wife, and she had takeu a ! violent fancy to it—so much so that he was prepared to give a fancy price. 1 He offered £BOO. Count Sacha laughed and shook hla ! head. One thousand pounds? Oh, no! I He really did not want to sell it An i offer of £1,300, however, made him hes- J itate. At last, after prolonged chaffer- j ing, Count Sacha passed back the dia- J mond to the pawnbroker and received J £1,500 in exchange. Once outside he i jumped into a cab and drove as fast j as he could to Messrs. Sparkle & j Shine's. Arrived there, he explained, with j many regrets, that his sweetheart had j changed her mind. She no longer j wanted the second diamond. Ilad the ! jewelers yet found it? No? Ah, that j was well! Still, he feared he had put j them to much trouble. However, he [ was gl. d to say his remittances had arrived and he had now much pleas-1 ure in handing over £SOO In payment j for the original diamond, which his j sweetheart had decided to keep. One thousand pounds to the good, Couut Sacha left the shop, having "brought off" a most ingenious swin dle. Yet can any one say where he j came within reach of the law?— Pea- j son's Weekly.

The founder was (he sole resident of the place and lived there alone more than half a century until two years ago, when the Chica go. Milwaukee and Puget Sound Rail way company extended its main line westward. He was killed by a falling tree. While fairly well educated, Plnchot used the figures 49 in signing his name o letters and legal documents, and dur ing the last few years of his lil'e he changed his name to "Forty-nine." One of the interesting things he left is a chicken which will light dogs and ?ats or any other animal.

The photographer caught It as it was about to attack a dog five times its size and weight. Plnchot, who trained the chicken, now seven years old, went to the northwest from Massachusetts during the first rush to the California coast. Becoming separated from his party, he lost his way in the dense forest near what is now the town of St. Joe, Ida., thirty-three miles east of which he settled and lived in the woods with only wild things as companions.

One In Wales Two Miles High With » Brook Running Through It. Who ever heard of a chimney two j miles high with a brook runuing through it? Yet such a chimney exists In connection with the copper works j at Cwmavon. near Aberavon, In Gla morganshire, south Wales. This is how J it came to be built: About sixty years ago the copper smoke from these works was the plague of the neighboring countryside. I It settled upon and destroyed the grass for twenty miles round, while j the sulphur and arsenic in the fumes j affected the hoofs of cattle, causing j gangrene. The owners of the works j tried all sorts of devices to remedy the ! trouble, but in vain. Finally Robert Brenton, who was afterward a sue- ! cessful railway engineer In India, solv- : ed the problem. The copper works are at the foot of j a steep hill. Mr. Brenton constructed I a Hue, or chimney, running continu- [ ously from the base to about a hun- > dred feet above the summit, following j the natural slope of the ground. The brick which lined It and of which it ! was largely constructed was burned ! close by. A small spring gushing out 1 near the summit of tlie hill was turned into the chimney and allowed to flow thmugh almost Its entire length to condense the smoke. Once a year It is swept out and about a ton of precipi tated copper obtained. Its top can be seen for between forty and fifty miles —London Answers. BRAVE MME. ROLAND.

While Pitt, the grandfather of Lord Chatham, was governor of Fart St. G£orge In 1<>!»8 he became acquainted with a jewel merchant named Jam chun.'., who brought a diamond of great size for sale. He asked £30,000 for It In the rough. It should, of course, have beeu bought on behalf of the compau.v, but Pitt, seeing money I in it, could not resist the temptation; of making a private bargain. He bo- j came the possessor of the stone for. the sum of £20,400, and he was quite I satisfied that he had behaved honor-! ably when he paid the man, who on j his part was also content. But th< diamond was known to be worth more I than Jamchund had received, and the transaction gave rise to a good deal of gossip, which In no way decreased j when later on Pitt had the stone cut In England and sold it to the regent of France for £136.000. Even that enor mous sum did not represent Its true value. The stone was set In the royal crown of France. It weighed 410 carats in the rough, but the cutting re duced it to 130 carats.—Mrs. I'enney's "Fort St. George, Madras " The Touch.

A LESSON IN LOGIC. Lord Erskine's Way With a Ruffianly Horie Beater. It Is only within the memory of liv ing man that legislation lias under taken to protect domestic animals from the cruelty of their owners. Owner ship was held to be absolute by most, but there was one man in England a hundred years ago who could demon strate the untenable nature of this theory. This man was Thomas Er skine. one of the greatest lawyers and advocates of his age. A tradition sur vives at Hampstead, the residence of I.ord Erskine, which Charles G. Har per has put Into his book, "Rural Nooks Round London," and which shows how this legal authority would have administered more recent laws. It is related that the celebrated Lord Erskine, walking one day on Hamp stead heath, saw a ruffianly driver shamefully thrashing a miserably 111 cared for horse. My lord remonstrated with the driver on the cruelty of It, whereupon the fellow retorted: "It's my own. Mayn't I use it as I please?" Then he started whacking the wretched animal worse than ever. Erskine. greatly annoyed, laid his walking stick over the shoulders of the offender, who, crouching and grum bling, asked my lord—this is the draw ing room version, not a verbatim re port. which would read rather differ ently—what business he had to touch him with the stick. "Why," said Erskine, "the stick's my own. Mayn't I use it. as 1 please?" Clearing House Operations. A clearing house is an agency estab lished by the banks of a city to which ail checks drawn upon one city bank and deposited in another are sent for payment. Every morning there is a clearance, or settlement, of accounts. In which the checks deposited in each bank and the checks drawn upon each bank are separately summed up and compared. If there is more deposited In a bank than there is drawn upon it the bank receives the difference in cash. If the reverse is the case the bank pays the balance Instead of re ceiving it. The term clearance means either the act of settlement or the sum of all the chocks presented for payment. The amount of business done by the clearing house Is a pretty sure index of the general condition of business.—New York American. When Lovers Watched the Corpse. Most curious of the old time super stitions of New England was the cus tom of requiring lovers to watch the corpse. It associated the hopes of marriage with the silent vigil, was poetic and lias only disappeared from the oldest towns within a generation. No obligation of the social conscience was more scrupulously regarded than that a dead body should never be left alone at night. In the earliest days the solemn watchers were old men and women, deacons, selectmen, but as the colonies grew honest lovers with plight ed troths were frequently selected for these long vigils.

LEADERS OF TRE BAR SPEAK Nominee For Supreme Court Justice Strongly Indorsed by Members of Legal Profession Who Know His Record. [Special Correspondence.) Philadelphia, Oct. 19. An unusual tribute has just been paid by members of the Philadelphia bar to Judge Robert von Moschzisker. Republican nominee for the supreme bench. Fourteen of the most prominent practitioners, headed by the acknowl edged leader of the profession, John G. Johnson, and including Attorney General M. Hampton Todd, former At torney General Hampton L. Carson, former Judge of the Superior Court W. W. Porter, former District Attor neys George S. Graham and John C. noli, Senator Ernest 1.. Tustin, Alexan der Simpson. Jr.. George Wharton Pep per, Owen J. Roberts. Joseph DeF. Junkin, Henry P. Brown. Samuel M. Hyneman and Francis Shunk Brown have united in an address to the mem bers of the bar of the state In support of Judge von Moschzisker's candidacy. It is a purely non partisan document, as among the signers are Democrats and well-known independent voters, as well as members of the Republican party. It is an unsolicited, genuine and Bin cere indorsement, prompted solely by a desire to have the citizens of the state recognize the Importance of electing a thoroughly competent am' absolutely trustworthy man to the highest court in the commonwealth. Address to Pennsylvania Bar. The address, which is sent out over the signatures of the lawyers named above, reads as follows: To the Lawyers of Pennsylvania— Irrespective of political affilia tions we, as members of the bar of Philadelphia, knowing Judge von Moschzisker as a man, as a lawyer and as a judge, in view of his nomination for the office of asso ciate justice of the supreme court of Pennsy'vania, desire to express to the profession throughout the commonwealth, the opinion enter tained, we believe, by this bar gen erally of his entire fitness for that high office. Intelligent by nature, a close stu dent, fond of research, with an acute, alert and discriminating mind, with an unusually retentive memory and wide experience in legal and other affairs, he is quick to comprehend, though deliberate in the maturing of his judgment. He combines with knowledge of the law, keen logic, sound judg ment and clear, forcible expres sion. During his six years of service upon the common pleas bench of this county he has displayed thor ough conscientiousness, great in dustry and capacity for work, unit ed with absolute fearlessness, free dom from narrowness or prejudice and the ability to dispatch legal business in the most practical way. Six reversals, with almost 400 written opinions delivered, is a re markable record, and testifies most strongly to his accuracy and the thoroughness of his grasp of facts and law. Judge von Moschzisker has the esteem and good will of this bar and this community as a self reli ant and courageous man. as a good citizen and an able, considera'e Judge. Judge Von Moschzisker's Strength. The nomination of Judge von Mosch zisker has met with popular support, and his ear didacy has been growing stronger every day since the Republi can convention adjourned. The closer his record on the com mon pleas bench Is studied, the better are his admirable qualities appreciat ed. Known as the "writing judge' among his colleagues on the bench. Judge von Moschzisker has long been looked upon as one of the most indus trious and painstaking jurists in the state. He delights in delving Into hln law books and frequently works way into the night preparing his opinions, which are models of thought and ac curacy of expression, and which form an important part of the jurisprudence of recent years. Judge von Moschzisker has not been seen upon the stump in this campaign, nor will be he, and he has not even taken occasion to visit other parts of the state since his norninaticn as he entertains pronounced views regarding the impropriety of a candidate for the supreme court making a canvass fo: votes or in any way taking part in a political campaign. He is dally engag ed in the performance of his duties as a judge on the common pleas court of this city and has declined every invi tation to public functions which might In any way bo construed to be of a po lltical character.

BOON TO THE HOME SEEKERS Conference to Discuss All Kinds of Farming and How to Secure Lands and Profits—How Interest In th» Movement Has Spread. It Is the sentiment of the advisory committee having charge of the ar rangements for the national farm land congress to be held in Chicago on Nov. 10 that the matters of great est importance and to which most em phasis should be given in the program of discussion are those of direct inter est to the home seeker—those things which directly and pertinently answer the questions naturally in his mind when contemplating migration to any particular section or choosing a local ity to which to remove in order to better his condition: First.—lie will want to know what are his chances for the creation of a profitable business In any line of agri culture. Second.—The conditions under which he will live while building his fortune or competency. All information bear ing on these two points is of tirst im portance. The kinds of farming most profitably done in any locality, whether grain raising, fruit orchards, cattle raising; truck gardening, etc. How and from whom shall he securo his laud, its cost and terms of pay ment? What public lands, if any, are to be had and how got? Character of soil and climate and conditions as to rainfall. Labor conditions and transportation facilities. Average profits based on actual ex perience and the degree of certainty with which the settler may expect those profits year after year. What social environment and advan tages will surround himself and fam ily and with what kind of people will they come in contact? What school facilities will be afford ed to his children? What church af filiations are available? In short, what are the problems he must work out in any given locality? Under what conditions an with what assurance of success? No congress can be of practical value and benefit that does not gather and disseminate this information, but when this is thoroughly and honestly done no greater work of benefit to the coun try can be performed. Heartily Favor Movement. Congressman J. Harry Covington of Easton, Md., is in entire sympathy with the movement nnd believes that the development of the resources for agricultural home building in America Is one of the greatest problems that make for the future betterment of our people. The successful working out of any such plan will greatly relieve, the undoubtedly bad urban conditions, in his opinion. Senator Samuel 11. Piles will lend his aid by selecting a strong delega tion to attend the cougress from the ! state of Washington. Governor Claude A. Swanson of Vir ginia writes, "The matter which is en- I gaging the attention of the national, farm land congress is of the utmost importance and worthy of support from all sources." [From a Traffic Manager. From the traffic manager of the San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake rail | road, Frederick A. Wann. the secre tary of the executive committee is in receipt of the following interesting letter: •'I note with a great deal of pleas ure the organization of the national farm land congress movement, and I feel certain that a meeting of this dc scriptlon will bring about an inter change of ideas between those inter ested in the development of our coun try which will be of great benefit t<» every farming section in the United States. In addition, such a meeting is bound to bring about Ideas aud sug gestions which, when given the proper amount of publicity, will attract the attention of thousands of people who are at the present time in a great measure ignorant of the possibilities for health, wealth and happiness in the development of the soil.
