OBITUARY... — : GEORGE W. CAMPBELL. Col. George W. Campbell died Friday even- ingat his residence on Ashland avenue, in the 75th year of his age. ‘The disease which earried him off was a cancerous tumor, which made its appearance on the right side of the neck, just below the jawbone, a little overayearage. At first he suffered no in- convenience from it, but in the last few months it grew rapidly, extended to ‘his lungs, and beoame somewhat. painful and troublesome.. It was not until- a week ago, however, that he had .to go to bed, or that his family and friends began to be alarmed about his condition. After that time he eradnally grew worse until his life ebbed - peacefully away. Col. Campbell was.a man who was well knowfi and very highly respected. He-was the brother of éx-United States Marshal Ben Campbell and brother-in-law of, Rus: Jones, President of the West Division i: way Company. Ie was born on the ith of ovember, »1806, in King William County, irginia, where he resided until he was ly 24 years of age, serving there as a ‘or Several yeurs. In the early part of wended his way. West, and on horseback rede to» the City of Louisville, - Ky., which, in those days, was no small undertaking, jm Louisville he tovk a buat to St. Louis in search of fame and fortune. Ilere he met William Heimpstead, who was.engaged in business in Galena, then a great mining cen- tre, and by him was employed at the princely salary of §25.a month, and the two together took a boat for Galena, where they arrived in April, 1830. For several years Col Campbell remained m Mr. Hempstead’s employ, and finally purchased his stock of goods. and in company with D. B. Moorehouse embarked in business, which. included -lead sinelting and general merchandising. Sometime after, in company with Orrin Smith, he started in the grocery and commission ‘line, and the firm of Smith & Campbell flourished for a number of years. After that he went in business with Mr. J. Russell Jones, who sub- sequently moved to Chicago. In 1861, at_ the commencement of the War, ‘Mr. Campbell wasappointed Commissary of Subsistence, which he held until some time after the close of the War, he not being inus- tered out of the service until 1866. During the past two years of his service he dis- bursed in. the neighborhood of $7,000,000, yet within sixty days of the time that he was mustered out his accounts were settled. Ie was’ regarded as one of the honestest and ablest officers in the service. After the passage of the Bankrupt act he was otten designated an Assignee in bankruptey, and he was still settling up sev- eral estates at the time of his death. Col. Campbell’s integrity was never questioned, his sterling honesty being too well known. He was a modest, unassuming, Christian gentleman, and creditably filled all the posi- tions assigned to him in the various walks of life. He was married twice. - His first wife was Eliza B. Colmes, who he married in 1882, 1u 1835 he married Eliza, J.. Brady, of St. Genevieve. Le had two daughters and four sons. SOLON M’ELROY. Solon McEtroy, a prominent business-man, died at his tesidence, 2419 Wabash avenue, last ‘Tuesday night. The cause of Mr. McEl- roy’s demise was heart disease. He was born in Cincinnati, 0., about 1932, and com- menced business in his native city as a banker. He came to this city about 1859, being-still interested in the banking business. Laier, he published the McElroy’s Reporter, acommercial organ, It was he who orig- inated the gold board in this: city. In 1867 he went into the life-insurance business, and ‘it.at the time of his death was manager of the Union Central Life-Insurance Company. Lis remains were conveyed to Cincinnati for interment.

Cricaco, Sept. 17.—Permit me out of re- a dear friend to offer on this day—just one week removed from the date of his demise—my humble tribute to his character. : : it was iny privilege to know him some time before his name became enrolled amongst those who in the War for the Union stepped forth in defense of the flag. A$ that time his political preferences were identified not with the party which held the reins of government. In a. brief, youthful political experience he had shared in the triumphs o£ the opponents of that party. white his boyish enthusiasm glorified Douglas ag personiiting fitly the noblest expression of the **amor patrie - ’ Maj. Lanagan was but © stmpling entering the threshold of manhood when his regupent —the Twenty-third Illinois Volunteers—took upits wareh for the Old Dominien, The leadership of that command, as all know,ivas represented by a soldier as gallant and chivalrous as ever wore a sword. His sphere of'service did not happen to bé located upon those fields of strife ‘where tremendous armies met and struggled for the master’ but where was war more earnest, where patil more supreme, thau on the fatal field of Winehester—where, hurt to death with grievous wounds, Col, James A. Mulli- can fell in the prime of manhood? ne death on the field $f battle of the lat Maj. Lanagan was reported at that time, as he was by the side of -bis leader, and few of the- brave spirits around that leader escaped éither weunds or death. The iebels eame on jauntily eloser and closer upon the little band, aiming to complete its destruction, Overmatched and outnwnbered, it was all but gan, during the hardshins and” re*inseparable from the soldier's lot expds ss in war, contracted a disease which grew the ‘years advanced, system vulnerable to more active «disease. as his of. more , settled and “made assaults Iti in the prime of manhood, looked to the fu ure with hope sustained and comforted by the tender affection which encircled him, not more tender and enduring:than was his own, Filling a position of responsibility through successive adininistrations in the service of the. city, there remains to his tamily and friends a record of stainless integrity, while those who knew him. intimately identity his character and nature with all that is chival- rous, noble, brave, and generous in man. Shortly after his return from the War he applied to a prominent business-man ot Chi- cago fora position in which he was untried. Formal references and testimonials were in- variably: required from applicants, The roung citizen-suldier wag promptly engaged without references, the inerchant saymg to a friend who mquired in regard to. the engage- ment: “1 did not want references from him; his face was testimonial suffictent for me.” —————$—_ A CRAZE FOR. DIAMONDS. ‘The Favorit Gem of American Women —Large Purchases of Diamonds for the American Market—Great Value of the Gems—Method of Cutting “the Stones. i New York Tribune. The passion for diamonds is~ increasing. Probably at no previous time in the history of the American worldof fashion were so many of these precious stones worn as now, nor so large a proportion of them of such ex- cellent'quality. Here and there the popular taste may select the fanciful gem—tourmaline or zircon—but the fire:glancing from the facets of a diamond has a charm for the nitltitude ‘fot possessed” by any Other gem. Mostof the diamonds come froin the Cape of Good Ilope, a few from: Brazil, and some from Siberia and Borneo. - The discovery of the African diamonds six or seven years ago upset the market, but it has since recovered its equilibrium. Merchants in this city claim that imitation diamonds have not materially injured their interests. “Such stonés depend upon thé glare of gaslight to avoid..detec- tion, as sunlight readily exposes’ their real + character. |The | demand. - for fine ,stones .is increasing and for. stores finer cut than it is genérally possible to ob- tain in Europe. Many diamonds brought to America are not cut in prismatic proportion, and have to be cut over by American work- men to bring out their real beauty. A dia- mond has thirty-six facets on top and twen- ty-four facets below. If the distance from the “tmble” to the “color” is more than one-third of the stone Its “life” is lost and it should be recut: The bottom of a good diamond almost to a point in. the cutting which is finally taken off. Of all the diamonds the white trauslucent sténe that is free from flaw and perfeetly.cut is the most valuable. Pink diamonds are rare, but bright yellow, brown, and jet black diamonds may be easily found in the market.. While a dull tint injures a white diamond:a marked color of red or green adds considerably to its value. Nine-tenths of the blue diamonds are milky, while all the fine white stones have just a suggestion of blue in their com- position. = Diamonds cost more than they did ‘ten years ago. A. perfect brilliant of the first vater is worth about $50; one-half carat, $175; one carat, $550; two carats, $800. Diamonds of a larger size bring whetever my be obtained from the purchaser, as no fixed price ean be stated. As a diamond loses nine-twentieths of its weight in cutting the value ofa rough diamond may be eal- culated percaratas ohe-half the estimate mentioned. Diamonds imperfector thin, are -usually reduced to powder or utilized in tools for drilling purposes., Three-carat . stones often bring $00. ‘ © [have frequently paid $300 a ‘carat for something fine.” said a Broaaway diamond- inerchant recently to a Lribune reporter. “Diamonds ‘are like Horses, there's no mar- ket.value for them. No dealer ever sold a good gem cheap, In war times you might pick up a diumond a triflecheaper than now, but today if you want’a good diamond you mast pay a good, price for it. . You may, buy aone-carat diamond for $100, but it will be notiiing extra, no g¢in.”” “ Are there more diamonds worn now than ever before in this country 2"? “Tshould say so, most decidedly. I have been in the business over thirty years, and I never knew such a rage for the ‘stone as ex- ists today. Last week-1 attended a garden party at the Grand Union Hotel at Saratoga and Isaw bushels of them. That is the only way to describe the number of valuable diamonds ‘worn there, and most of them were fine stones, Nearly every woman there had big solitaires in rings or earrings. You see the finest diamonds are worn solitaire in studs, rings, and earrings, while for brace- Jets and hairpins an inferior stone maybe used, as they are not soconspicuous. {no- ticed’ one ‘thine, however, ‘at. the Grand Union, nine-tenths ef the diamonds were not clean, Dust settles on everything, and it is how little care a‘ woman will ae her diamonds. They carefully inspect heir gloves and shoes before completing their toilets, but- their diamonds, worth often thousands of dollars, receive no. attention, become dirty, and sometimes are lost. lady customer of mine lost. a very. valuable diamond after possessing it eight years. If she had been in the habit.of giving the gem any attention, she would have noticed that a setting of eightoen-carat gold will wear out in time, and lose its: grip on the stone. The large solitaire - diamond_-is now preferred to the cluster, Few. | dia mionds .aré worn by gentlemen except in the case of young men anxious for display. Here and there a gentleman will wear soli- taires on his shirt-bosom, but if he has good taste he will be careful that they are small, or hamay be taken fora gambler. It ig as- tonishing how much inoney is sometimes represented in the diamonds worn by ladies on a ‘swell? -ocasion. It is a common thing in- New York society to sew $10,000 or $20,000 in diamonds on ‘a Jady’s per- son. Mrs. John Jacob Astor has been known to wear $50,000 worth of diamonds dt an evening reception, and I stiould say that the diamonds worn by Mrs. W. H. Vander- bilt at the garden party 1 spoke of were worth fully that amount of money. Mrs. Mackay, wife of thé ‘Bonanza King,’ once offered to buy the famous ‘Regent? diamond, the most valuable in the world. Itis valued ata mere iillion, but the French Govern- ment wouldn’t sell it.” 2 “ A handy thing to pawn when you strike. hard-pan,”” suggested the reporter.” - “Not atall. You couldn’t find a deater in the city who would. advance a dollar on it. Every one would know it, and know that it bdelunged to the Crown of France. Besides, the diamond {s_too big to selli—what could Wit do with it? Certainly not wear it. When a diamond is over five or six carats in size itis not salable. Halphen, the famous diamond cutter of Paris, has had in his pos- session the ‘South Star’. diamond, 125 earats, for thirty years, and has not been able..to find a: purchaser for it, al- though. his price is only $375,000. It is very hard to get rid of these extraordinary stones. .\n importer in John street has had wo stones, each twenty carats, in the mar- ket for years, ana_ has been unable to sell thom, and £ don’t: believe he will ever be able to dispose of tne. Isaac Hermann, of this city, did eut a forty-carat_ diamond, the largest, 1 believe, ever cut in New York. It was a good job, but the stone was not white, and was mnost likely worn by a gambler. “ Were *—displaying a case of flashing gems—“* ar solitaire earrings, two carats, and worth 31,200, ‘They are large enough to produce u striking effect, and when -you get much larger diamonds they look clumsy.” k a Tow are siamonds prepared for the mar- Ket? Well, they are found, as yon know, in alluvial depasits and are extracted by wash- ing. They: are cut by cleaving the stones. ‘Thew two of them are rubbed together until they recvive a shape in the rough. ‘The next stepis to finish them carefully by grinding on a revolving disk fashioned for soft steel which is covered with oi] and diamond dust. Most diamonds are cut in the shape of bril jants, and ‘some in the form of a rose having aflat bottom and an upper surface of tiny facets and ending in a point.” THE WISE MEN OF THE WEST.
