The play was strictly sena- torial—$5 ante by the ant dealer, $5 limit Charley - Farwell straights-around-the-cor- ner, Billy Mahone-blazes and everything going. Of course, Mr. Whitney set an ele- gant luncheon, with all proper trimmings, and about midnight there was 2 good deal of bluffing over the cards and no end of bantering across the table. Finally came the deal which makes the story, and which may have an important bearing on the his- tory of the country. Grover Cleveland ‘skinned the cards which were dealt him by John Carlisle, and remarked they were worth a little raise before the draw. W. L. Scott stayed in; Henry Watterson, belliger- ent, as usual, added another raise, which was met by William C. Whitney. John G. Carlisle trailed in. Mr. Cleveland now tilted Watterson, and the others stayed, except that Watterson again jerked two blue chips instead ef one to the middle of the table. There were several more raises backward and forward between Cleveland and W_ ter- son, and the pace became so hot between these two that the others discreetly dropped out with their single pairs—all except Car- lisle, who continued to trail in. Finally Cleveland stopped meeting the frisky Watterson’s ultimatums, and cards were drawn. Cleveland took one, and every- Dw. Gunston Institute, 1212 AND 1214 14TH ST. N.W.

PROGRESS OF THE CADETS IN DRILL Prospects for’ the Various School Journals This Year. THE ATHLETIC MEET As the faculty of the Central School have given notice to all pup!ls that they will not recognize any social c-ganizations that may be formed, the pupils have turned their at- tention to the formation of musical clubs, and during the past week there have been three such societies started. The above an- nouncement caused considerable disappoint- ment to many persons, who had already con- templated or begun such organizations. As the encouragement of such clubs in the past had not proved beneficial to the pupils, and as the cause of the failure of some of the stu- dents was shown to have been caused by the distracting influences of the clubs, the fac- ulty thought it justifiable not to recognize the right of any club to use tha name of the High School. Notwithstanding, two clubs, the senior of the fourth year and the junior of the third year, have been organized, but as clubs outside of the school. The most advanced of the three musical societies is the orchestra, which was or- ganized at the Central last week. There Were nineteen who signified their intention of joining and a few more are still expected. Those holding membership so far and the instruments they will play are Miss Emma Rosenbaum, Miss Katharine BE. Walk-r, Frank C. Ketcham, Mr. C. L. Davis, Cari A. Davis, Lawrence F. Eberbach, Marshall B. Stewart, J. Samuel Mohler, Walter B. Harvey and John O. Merwin for the violin; Miss Elizabeth Black, Herbert W. Marean and A. Mohler for the cornet; Allan E. Walker and Thomas H. Duckett for the piccolo; J. William Alden for the viola; Fred. K. Kummell for the clarionet; Mr. Paul Finckel for the ‘cello, and Miss Elizabeth Gardner for the piano.~Mr. Efmer David Sherburne, teacher of Greek and Latin, is looking after the orchestra, and will hold rehearsals every Friday ‘evening after school. Miss Scammel, the singing teacher, form- ed a glee club at the Central during the past week, which will meet each Tuesday and consist of about forty members when the membership is closed. Some of the students who have already joined are John T. Kelly, Harry H Flatt, A. P. Tindell, Charles Mayer, Eugene B. Wilkins, Harvey Barnard and Mr. Hoge of the first year class. The reorganization of the Glee Club st the Eastern and of last year’s successful Banjo Club at the Central are being con- templated, and will probably be carried out Within the next week. Children of the American Revolution. Twenty additional members to the Na- tional Society of the Children of the Amer- ican Revolution were secured at the Cen- tral by Miss Louise Gfant Saxton, one of the teachers of mathematics. A “meeting was held in Study Hall Friday afternoon, at which Mies Saxton, the vice president, presided in the absence of the president, Miss Bessie Blount. The constitution was read by Miss Constance Draper, who is at present acting secretary, and a committee was appointed to make a program for the next meeting, which will be at All Souls’ Church, on M between 12th and streets, next Friday at 2:30 p.m. The com- mittee consists of Misses Eunice Head and Bessie Keech and Carl Fenning. The other members, all of whom have ancestors who fought in the revolutionary war, are Eliza- beth Buckelew, Blanche Steele, Floreace Merrillat, Keren Culvertson, Alice Little- john, Adelaide Stetle, Bessie. Endicott, Judith Grasaway, Travis Culbertson, Rob- ert Culbertson, Donald Tracy, Joseph Kel- ly, H. R. Jolinson, Howard Gillman and William Gillman, ‘who is the historian. After the meeting of Friday they will prob- ably be held monthly. Progress of the Companies. All the matters .concernirg the eight companies comprising the High School Cadet regiment have been permanently crganized for the ensuing year, and a sys- tematic plan of instruction has been in- augurated. The progress in foot movements is so satisfactory that it is thought the com- panies have advanced far enough to take up the new manual of arms, which will very likely be done on Monday. Owing to the inclemency of the weather on Thursday the cadets were forced to drill within doors. On account of ‘the limited space in the corridors of the Central no foot movements could be taught, so that after the half hour's exercise the manual of arms was taken up. This was also the case at the Western, while at the Eastern and Business schools the fours movements were perfected. Judging from the mcvements taken up by the two companies at the Eastern they are more advanced and probably better drilled than any of the others. Up to last Thurs- day company F had taken up all except two company movements, while company G had even taken up double time. The quick gdvancement of these two companies is perhaps due to the fact that almost the entire front rank is composed of second year men, so that the recruits in the rear rank need only to follow them. Drill in Graded Schools. The military drill in the graded schools will tegin next Tuesday and be carried on throughout the year in the seventh and eighth grades. Volunteers were called for at the Central on Wednesday, and about twice as many as were necessary responded. The cadet officers who were selected and regularly assigned to instruct the seventh and eighth grade boys, by Major Harry T. Domer, the assistant military instructor, are: Major Chas. Fox and Capt. W. H. Von Bayer, for the first division at the Dennison School; Capt. Hoge and First Lieut. Fred. K. Kummell, for the second division at the Henry School; Capt. Hoover and Sergt. Allen, for the second division B at the Gales School, and First Lieut. Harry H. Platt and Sergt. Maj. Harry E. Olcott, for the fourth division at Jefferson School. Instructors for the third and fifth divi- sions at the Wallace and Curtis schools will be appointed from the Eastern and Western High Schools later. Two representatives from each seventh and eighth grade of every school will meet in the designated school of their division for instruction for one hour each Tuesday and Friday until it will be necessary to instruct them only once a week. In turn these two representatives are to return to their school ard teach the other pupils what they have been taught. High School Athletic Day. ‘The most important event this fall among the at‘iletes of the different High Schools is field day at the Columbia Athletic Club's Van Ness Park on Saturday, November 16. ‘The entries are open to all male pupils at the Central, Eastern, Western and Business schools, at 25 cents for each event. ‘There are about seventy entries up to date, and by Friday, the last day for entering, it Is expected that there will be at least twen- ty-five more. The number entering for the contests are about evenly divided among the four schools, in proportion to the number of students at each school, there being about thirty at the Central, twenty at the Business and ten each at the Eastern and Western. ‘The events are 100-yard dash, 20-yard @esh, 440-yard run, one-mile run, one-mile bicycle race, high jump, broad jump, pole yault and putting the 16-pound shot. ‘Each winner will receive a handsome silver medal and be credited with five points for his school, while the second and third choices will receive three and one points, respective- ly, for his school. After the compietion of these field and track games there will be a foot ball game between the first teams of the Central and Eastern. A Halloween Party. A Halloween party from the Eastern High School met Thursday evening at the house of Misses Carolie and Rosalie Robinette, on Capitol Hill, and celebrated the occasion. A most enjoyable time was spent sitting arouné the fireside, telling stories and hay- ing ether amusements, such as Lawyer, 13th. Will-o'-the-wisp following string which wound around the staircases, and hunting for the greatest number of chestnuts. Capt. Harry Hearst succeeded in finding the greatest nu: pf nuts, and was awarded the prize. Mr. E. W. Williams, one of the teachers, told,geeral stories, all of which he had down to perfection, and amused the party considerably. The others who were present are Miss Het- tie Diver, Miss’Malleck, Mr. Emery Wilson, @ member of, pine faculty: Captain Nelson Gapen, Mr. Hobson and-Mr. Cole. After serving refreshments an early adjournment was had about 1’o’clock. High School Papers. Only two of the four school magazines have been published so far this year, these being The Wéstétn and The Balaace Sheet. ‘The Western is the youngest paper of them all, and is thé-representative organ of the Western HigiSchool. The first number of the first volunte appeared Friday, October 18, and was filled with matter of school in- terest. It is edited and published entirely by the studerts, without any assistance from the faculty, and is evidently sup- ported by every. member of the school. It is a very creditable publication, consisting of six pages, of three columns each, and a cover, the front of which is devoted to its name, while the other three pages are given up to advertising. It is a bi-weekly magazine, devoted to the interests of its school; its pupils and alumni. The editor- in-chief is Mr. Robert Leetch, and the as- sistant editors are Miss Davis, 06; Miss Wescott, 96; Mr. Alexander, ’96: Miss Kid- der, 97; Mr, Scudder, ’98, and Miss Janie Moor for the alumni. Mr. Edward A. Duckett %s thé business manager, and the section agents are Miss Reedshaw, Mr. Wright, Mr. Beller, Miss Nordlinger, Miss Walker, Mr. Lightfoot, Mr. Cheyney, Miss Hanger and Miss Foley. The subscription price is 60 cents for the school year; by mail, 75 cents; single copies, 5 cents. ‘The next paper to appear was The Bal- ance Sheet, which made its initial bow Monday, October 21, only one school day later than the Western School issued its paper. It appears in the same cover as in previous years, but contains only four pages of three columns each of reading matter, all of which pertains to the Busi- ness School and its interests. One issue will appear each month, for which the subscription price is 50 cents, while single copies can be had for 5 cents. The board of editors consists of Robert L. Stone, chairman; Bernard R. Kelly, regi- mental; Adelaide Miller, society; Calanthe Stickell, exchange; Mary E. O'Connor for the alumni and an assistant editor to repre- sent each first and secord year section. The business staff is composed of Luther C. Steward as manager, George J. Harris for the alumni afd G. L. Taite, F. P. Tralles, H. M. Grimes, Miss A. D. Simonds, Wm. D. Shoemaker, R. H. Burgess, J. C. Gall, J. F. Brady, R. A. Shepard, J. K. Monroe, Misses C. B. Wheeler, F. D. Clemmer, N. Wheata, A. F, Tuthill and M. Keating for each of the sections as agents. The Easterner. The early publication of the school papers at the Western and Business schools has caused quite a stir among their brother schools in their endeavors to get the East- erner, @ the Eastern, and the High School Review, at the Central, ready for publica- tion. From present indications it seems as if the Easterrer will be next in line, as it is expected to appear by the middle of next month, if not sooner. The only cause of delay is the lack of advertisements, which are coming in slowly. The editorial staff, which consists of Samuel Chas. Spalding, editor-in-chief; Miss Helen A. Richmpnd, social editor; Shirley Potter, literary editor; James V. Kelly, bditor of school notes; Har- ry W. Hearst, milit editor, and Miss Bertha‘ Yoder‘0%), MY. J. Strother Miller (97) and Miss Bucina McGroarty (98), as class editors, isoprepared to, issue the first number, but .|g, waiting for the business staff to. solicit 4 sufficient number of adver- tisements. * M¥.’¥. Strother Miller, as man- ager, and J. THeodore Graff, James V. Kelly, William M. Hallam, A. Smith and T. Snell, as assistants, wall look after the business end of the paper. Mr. Phillp G. Gerry ard Miss May Dean will be the faculty advisers. ‘The paper will¢fly be issued monthly, and with this large'vorps of supporters should make a reputable showing and be quite suc- cessful. The Review. Although..the-Review: will probably be the last of the fourischool- papers to make its first appearagged this year, it will not be the- least, by any: means. Up to the last week there was some doubt as to whether) it would be issued, on ac- count of the poor support given 4t the last two years, and fot the want of somebody to take charg®'of it. At last Mr. R. R. Up- ton, a new, addition to the faculty, who taught at the Business last year and man- aged the Balance Sheet, has concluded to take hold and make it a success. He and his corps of able assistants will endeavor to make this volume, the tenth one, the best in its history. and of any high schood in the country, if not as good as some uf the most promir.ent collese magazines. ‘The Rev:ew will be an e ghteen-page mag- azine, six by nine inches, and will increase in size, from time to time, if its reception warrants the improvement. It “will at- tempt an illustrated edition, having three illustrations in the first issue, and at least two in each succeeding issue. The chief features of the magazine will be as follows: 1. Six departments under_the capable management of Mr. James F. Hottell for regimental notes, Mr. Philip Tindall for athletic news, Mr. Eugene B. Wilkins for seciety news, Miss Alice Weldon Wasser- bach for literary. notes and Misses Inez P. Carusi and Jessie F. Presnell on exchanges and monthly minutes, devoted to the daily enings of the schoois. Boea series of articles by prominent “men the age. 5 Sketches and, essays by pupils and ‘3 of the Centra tepetumal notes dexoten to the doings and ‘sdoings of the graduates. ™ The publisher, Mr. R. R. Upton, has felt for some time that the High School is not living up to its journalistic privileges, and will attempt this year to give the best paper possible, but one not better than the school can afford. He deems that the present issue is fairly representative of the school. ‘There will be ten issues, appearing on the following dates: November 15, December 2, December 20,SJanuary 2, February 1, March 1, April 1, May-1, June 1 and June 20. The first Issue will contain the picture of last year’s prize company H of the Western, and an article on their victory. The issue of December 20° will be a register of all the pupils of. the four high schools, and the issue of June 20 will be a grand commence- ment edition. The color of the cover will be in accordance with the season, the first number appearing in black and gold colors, to corresponé with fall. The last issue will be in the colors of the school, blue and white. The price of the paper is 10 cents per copy or 50 cents per year of ten issues. It is hoped that each pupil, teacher and friend will purchase at least one copy of each issue. During the year all funds received will be invested in the magazine to increase its efficiency and beauty. If there is a surplus at the ead of the year it will be dedicated to the improvement of the school library or some other meritorious benefit will be con- ferred on the sfhool. The. Majne Association. At the regulagi meeting of the Society of Sons and Daugliters of Maine, which was held at its rdpmp, 707 G street northwest, Saturday evening, Dr. Patten, chairman of the committee on rooms, reported that he had securé@ of the Legion of Loyal Women the hall at 419 10th street for the use of the sqqiety on the first and third Saturdays of each month, from January 1, 1895. The entertainment committee pre- sented a pleasing pregram, including read- ings by Prof. Ramsay of “The Jackdaw of Rheims;” Gea.W. Hall, “The Twentieth Century Man;" Mrs. Judge Rixforch’s orig- inal poent, “Mfmory'’s Pictures,” carried the members back to the scenes of their childhood day¥? while "Mr. C. E. Crowell’s selection of ‘fhe Man From Maine” was a reminder ofzexperiences in a prohibition state. Mr. Granville Fernald’s “Ego and Echo” was well received. A poem of Lord Macauley was given by Mr, Pitman Pulsi- fer, while that prince of story tellers, Woodbury Pulsifer, set the audience into roars of Jaughter over his well-told stories. Miss Grace Patten told of the ‘Belfry Chimes,” and Mr. O. H. Briggs cariied the members with him in that which we all need at times—‘Human Sympathy.” The social session which followed was very much enjoyed by all present.

As fast as the news is received, the RARE STATE PAPERS Musty Volumes of Manosoripts Resurrected at the Capitol. ALL WERE PENNED BY PRESIDENTS The Executive Congressional Mes- ‘sages of Over a Century. QUEER CHARACTERISTICS —___+—___ For the past week or so a curious collec- tion of old worm-eaten volums, covered with dust and stained by age, have been piled in the file room of the House of Rep- resentatives. Some of them run back into the past century, and thef#are all in man- uscript. The sight of them would bring envy into the eyes of an autograph collec- tor, and the loss of any one of the many volumes would raise a hue and cry in the land. They are the original autograph mes- sages of Presidents of the United States, and accomparying manuscript documents. A resolution was passed by the House during the last Congress providing for the compilation of all messages of Presidents to Congress from the foundation of the government. Representative Richardson, the author of the resolution, is charged with the responsibility of having this done, he being chairman of the committee on printing during the last Congress, but no special appropriation was made to meet the expense. At present one must look through all the mass of congressional pub- lications for these messages, or else seek the original manuscripts. These manuscripts from the time of John Adams are kept locked in a fire-proof vault of the House, where they are comparative- ly safe from fire, and are exposed only to the slower consumption of time. Altogeth- er there are several hundred volumes. The first sixty or seventy of them, covering the earlier history of the republic, are of very great interest. They are not open to pub- lic view, and the present opportunity to ex- amine ther. was afforded by their being brought out of the vaults for the pprpose of the proposed compilation. It w&s af. terward concluded that it would not be con- venient nor safe to attempt to set the type from the originals, and this week they were again deposited in the vaults, where they will probably lie for another hundred years, being disturbed only to add new volumes to their number. Some Wery Interesting Documents. ° ‘The original manuscript of the declara- tion of the “Monroe doctrine” is among them. The papers and messages relating to the Aaron Burr expedition; the mes- sages, memorials and correspondence con- cerning annoyance to ‘our commerce which led to the war of 1812; the messages and correspondence concerning our trouble with Tripoll, or on every other matter of interest brought to the attention of Con- gress by our Presidents, are there in the original manuscripts.’ It is a curious col- lection of old, faded papers, in worm-eaten calf bindings, from which history is read more interestingly than from cold type. The character of the actors is told in their writing in a way that print cannot dis- close it, and the reader is brought close to the personality of the men who have made history. The character of the writing, the sort of paper used,-the careful or careless habits of the writers are there shown. There is little of that care and uniformity in the preparation of the documents wkich mark those of the present day. Instead of the paper of uniform “official’’ size, with proper “official” heading, and laced to- gether with silk cord, used for Presidents’ messages today, the paper is of various sizes and qualities, and, in some cases, even scrappy, as authors’ manuscripts sometimes appear. Most of the early mes- sages have no local date line, having only the month and year under the signatures. John Adams rather pompously dates his “United States.’ The others, for the most part, left it to be inferred that the writing was done at the seat of government. Jefferson Did Not Care. The manuscripts of Jefferson are pecu- larly indifferent to official formality, and are even careiess in preparation, the dic- tion being the only thing that is not in a measure slipshod. The diction, as all read- ers of Jefferson know, is direct and force- ful. Very ordinary paper, with no headline and of utterly “unofficial” sizes, was good enough for his purposes. The writings are full of erasures, made with pen and ink, and not infrequently new sentences after a period are begun with a small letter. Words, phrases, and even whole sentences are scratched out with a pen, and the man- uscript, with all its imperfections, is sent cn its way. In some cases the manuscript is cut, and in one of the messages concern- ing Burr's expedition a statement of six or eight lines is corrected by a piece of paper, on which it is written differently, being pasted with red wafers over the part re- jected after writing. j ‘The absence of Washington's messages is due to their being burned in the Capitol. But neither Washington nor Adams sent a written message to Congress on its first con- vening. They merely delivered addresses, which were replied to then and there by the Congress. The First Message. The manuscript of Jefferson's apology to Congress for departing, for the first time, from this custom and for sending his first message in writing, illustrates his indiffer- ence as to capitalization. It is written on a small, yellow sheet of paper: “December 8, 1801. “The circumstances under which we find ourselves at this place rendering inconveni- ent the mode heretofore practiced of making by personal address the first communications between the legislative and the executive branches, I have adopted that by message, as used on all subsequent occasions through the session. in doing this I have had prin- cipal regard to the conventence of the legis- lature, to the economy of time, to their re- lef from the embarrassment of immediate answer, on subjects not yet fully before them and to the benefit thence resulting to the public affairs. trusting that a procedure, founded in these motives, will meet their approbation, I beg leave through you, Sir, to communicate the inclosed message, with the documents accompanying it, to the hon- orable the House of Repres®tatives, and Pray you to accept, for yourself and for them, the homage of my high respect and consideration. ¢ (Signed) “The honorable, of Representatives. From this letter dated the abandonment of the practice of the President addressing Congress in person on its first assembling. President Cleveland’s Precedent. Probably whem Mr. Cleveland addressed Président Dole of Hawaii as his “great and gocd friend,” while contemplating his over- throw, he had in mind Jefferson’s note to the Bey of Tripoli, which announced the serding of an American squadron to the Mediterranean to correct certain hostile demonstrations on the port of Tripoli.” This note began: “Honored Bey of Tripoli of Barbary, whom God preserve. Great and respected friend.” The form of addressing Congress adopted by the Presidents varies but slightly. “‘Fel- low-citizens of the Senate and House of Representativ is frequently used, but the mest general form is “Gentlemen of the Senate and House of Representatives.” ‘This is the present form. John Adams ad- dressed them “Gentlemen of the Senate and Gentlemen of the House of Representa- tives,” and signed himself: “JOHN ADAMS, “United States, December,” etc. Adams’ messages are in his own hand, very bold and very precise, without era- sures. Most of the messages end abruptly with the signature, without any “Very respect- full: “Your obedient servant,”’ or other fermal closing, but. James Madison in his first message of eight pages of very neatly written manuscript (not his own) uses ferty-five words in the closing preliminary to his signature, and he closes a letter to the Speaker of the House, “Your most obed. serv’t."” In March, 1813, Madison had to send to Congress a complete roll in manuscript of all the employes of the “THOS. JEFFERSON. e Speaker of the House bulletins will be displayed by stereopticon. | government. The whole would not have made a book as large as the Congressional Directory. Monroe and Adams’ Methods. Monroe addressed Congress “Fellow-citi- zens of the Senate and of the’ House of Representatives,” and closed abruptly, usually without date. John Quincy Adams used a Washington date line, and usually had a long formal elesing before his signature. The ink in most of these old manuscripts retains its color remarkably well, but some, written or. thin paper, are almost illegible. Nearly all the paper is badly discolored, and some of the documents are badly worn, not from having been handled, but merely by the operation of time on a poor quality of paper. The handwriting of many of the docu- ments inclosed with the messages is like engraving, and a great variety of char- acteristic chirography is displayed. The inclosures comprise some extremely inter- esting documents and autographs. R When General McCook was secretary of the Senate he had a sort of official “scrap book” prepared, containing one original manuscript me: from each of the Presi- dents, including Washington to Cleveland, whose first term closed the first century of Presidents. This book is a part of the official records of the Senate, and is preserved in the sec- ret&ry’s office. In it is the most striking example of nepotism in American official life, the message of John Adams nominat- ing his son, John Quincey, to be minister to Prussia. How Grant Outwitted the Reporters. In it, too, is the message of Grant nomi- nating his frst cabinet, which is a reminder of how he kept these nominations from be- ing announced in the newspapers before they were actually presented to the Senate. He was so bent on outwitting the papers in this that he had the message written with a blank space for the names before each of the offices to be filled, and put the names in himself. He then’ carried the Paper in his own pocket until he was ready to send it to the Senate. Sending it, he sealed it in an envelope addressed to’ the secretary of the Senate, so that even his private secretary, who carried the message to the Senate, could not know who the cabinet were ‘beforehand. Grant carried the paper in his pocket several days, and it is creased and pocket-worn. In trusting entirely to himself this way, he wrote one cf.the names wrong. It had to be taken to him dy the secretary of the Senate for cor- rection, and he made the change in lead pencil. —__e—______ HOW JEWELRY IS MADE. An_ Entertaining and Instructive Visit to a Lending Establishment. A richly attired woman stepped from a luxurious equipage on 7th street at the corner of D this morning and entered the Jewelry establishment of R. Harris & Com- pany. Apprcaching one of the attentive clerks, she informed him that she desired to sectre some jewelry for presentation to the ushers and bridesmaids at the ap- proaching marriage of her daughter. “I desire something of original design,” she remarked. “Out of the general run, you know, of the gifts made on such occa- sions.” The clerk said he would call Mr. Harris, and reaching behind him he touched en electric bell, which quickly brought the head of the firm to that part of the store. The visitor repeated her wishes to Mr. Harris, who told her he would place his artist and designer at her disposal, and in a few moments the lady was approving some quickly made sketches of unique ce- signs in pins and bracclets. A Star reporter, who happened to be #ies- ent, was struck by. this original departure from the usual business methods that ob- tain in this section of the country, and in response to the inquiries which the incident inspired Mr. Harris kindly volunteered to show him the establishment. A journey through a first-class manufacturing jew- eler’s place is interesting. Descending the steps at the rear of the commedious and beautiful store, the reporter found himself in the midst of half a dozen alert young mechanics, who were engaged in the deft manipulation of that most precious of all metals—gold. At a crucible in the center of the room one was melting che virgin metal into ingots, while a few feet away another was drawing a bar of gold through a pair of cylinders and pressing it out to the re- quired thickness. There were other delicate and ingenious machines Yor :haping the precious stuff into square wires and half circles needed for wedding rings, all of which were operated by a powerful electric dynamo. Along a bench running under the windows on D street several expert en- gravers, jewel setters and other artists were devoting themselves assiduously to the manufacture of medals, rimgs, pen- dants, earrings and other forms of jewelry, while at a brush revolving with the tre- mendous rapidity which electric energy in- spires a workman was burnishing and pol- ishing articles already manufactured. Leaving this interesting portion of the es- tablishment, Mr. Harris took the way again upstairs, and, after showing his visitor the apartment devoted to the oculist in charge of that important feature of the business, led the reporter by immense burglar-proof safes’ and the electric system which pro- tects every door, window, desk and show- case in the establishment to a room in the rear of his private office. Reaching under a small table, Mr. Harris pulled out two tin boxes, and the visitor expected he was going to be invited to share a midday sandwich. Mr. Harris quietly remarked: “There are $60,000 worth of unset diamonds and other gems in these two boxes.” He opened one and displayed what lcoked like a number of small envelopes, but which proved to be folded sheets of paper, containing gems as- sorted into sizes. There were diamonds tak- ing sixty-four to weigh a carat, and each one cut as perfectly as the Kohinoor, and dia- monds worth $1,000 apiece, and several rare black diamonds, that were as beautiful ‘| as they wer: unusual. In the other box there was a profusion of opals, sapphires, rare emeralds, pearls and rubies of remark- able purity and color. Mr. Harris showed a green pearl, which is one of the rarest of stones, a pink pear] and a pigeon-blood ruby, that looked like liquid fire. “We import all our diamonds direct from the cutters in Amsterdam,” said Mr. Har- ris, “‘and consequently we are enabled to do away with the profits of the brokers and middlemen. The style in rings is little changed. The solitaire with plain Tiffany setting is favored, while marquise, princess and round clusters are very popular in those sorts of rings. The latest things in diamond ornaments are butterflies. Here is one, for instance,” and he held up a dazzling butter- fly with a large pearl for a body and whose diamond wings were heightened by streaks of olivines. ‘That costs $250,” he said. “Another thing that enables us to dispose of our goods at prices lower than are usual elsewhere is the fact that we are located on a splendid corner and still can give our cus- tomers the benefit of the money we save in rent. During the five years we have been on 7th street our business has continually increased, and this 1s only another proof that 7th street is the natural commercial artery of Washington, and that it has not been and cannot be affected by the changes or business locations in other sections of the city.” The reporter upon leaving Mr. Harris ad- mired the vast and varied stock that filled the cases and cabinets of the store, present- ing a kaleidoscopic view of exquisite and beautiful effect. Heavy silver and plated ware, cut glass, bronze and Delft clocks and ornaments, and showcases crowded to their capacity with watches, rings and jewelry of every conceivable sort, made up a collection that mous be difficult to equal in a long search. ——_— Testimonal to Col. McKibben. A pleasing ceremony took place at Mar- shall Hall yesterday, when Col. Joseph Mc- Kibben was presented with a handsomely | decorated and chased badge of the Union Veterans’ Legion. At the national encamp- ment of the Jegion recently held in Buffalo a resolution was passed providing for the presentation, and a committee of twenty Was appointed, with Corporal James Tan- ner as chairman, to take charge of the mat- ter. Yesterday was decided upon as the proper time, and, accompanied by B. C. Wright, C. E. Troutman, W. P. Davi: Keefer, Henry Specht, W. R. Peddie, W. Mack. J. H. Hendricks, C. F. Garr T. Crumpt and J.
