Mr. Sturgis said that ‘“public attention in the east had been directed to_the fact that there is what is termed another scheme afoot by which vast tracts of public land may be stolen. On a patient hearing of the merits of the proposal of the western live stock raisers, however, the public may deem It a fair solution of the problem as to what ought to be done with those parts of our public lands which In the existing state of agricultural thus be protected in that purchase, The United States treasury would annually be $20,000,000 to $25,000,000 richer than it is if their proposal should be acceded to. “‘The belief that the cattle companios aro usirg this plan only as a means of ob- talning government possession of the lands, or in order to exclude homesteads, or more readily to obtaln through frauda- lont means the title to thelands along the streams, 18, I believe, not warranted by facts. If the stockman leased his range from the government would he have any botter facilities for fraud than 8¢ present! With the possession of a lease aiways aubject to sabsequent entries by actual settlers the stock-owner would recelve all the protection that he could desire. The great tomptation to endeavor to protect himself by securing title to government lands would bs removed, and his busi- neass could be safely prosecuted, subject to the gradual absorption of the iands by farmers, without eradicating the produc- tion of atock years In advance of the cul- tivation of the land. ““The question of leasing grazing lands has been brought prominently before the ranchman of the plalns at this time by proposed legislation in congress constitu- ting 1t a penal offense to place any im- provement upon governmeut land with- out obtalning a title to it. Small im- provements—such as cabins for the pro- tection of men and corrals of an acra or two In extent for holding cattle—are necessities of the business. Each ranch- man requires a dozen or more of these bulldings in the pursuit of his occupation He cannot obtaln title even to the smail tracts under any existing law. The government will not gell for cash and tho right to obtaln title by settloment is limited to two tracts not exceeding 160 acres each to any one individual. To make the establishment of such Im- ROMANCE OF GEMS. Women Who Care Nothing for the Past History of their Diamonds Atlanta Constitution, Two old detectives sat by a blazing grate fire In a down-town office examining somo jowels, There were diamonds, pearls, sapphires and rubies in the lot, all handsomely mounted. ‘It is strange,” said one of the men, *‘how poople, especially ladies, yearn for theso jewels. Almost every jewel in the world, has had some connection with shame and crime, possibly with violence and death. The fair and virtuous Iady whose neck is encircled with gleaming diamonds of great value littlo dreams that the stones In that sparkling chain so much admired by herself and others ma; some time have graced & wanton's necl or been the motive of murder. A gem {8 not like anything else that is worn, It {s practically indescriboable. It may, of course, be lost, but a preclous stone once trimmed and polished is likely to last for- ever, passing from hand to hand, Think of the various owners that the ordinary dlamond must have in the course of a cen- tury, the various wmethods resorted to galn possession of It, and the various cir- cumstances urder which people have par- ted with {t. Almost every one of these stones that is of value has a history often written in human blood. “I know a lady in this town who has sold her diamonds and will have no others unless she can be assured that she is the flrst wearer, but as a rule the ladies do not care. I happened to be In- terested in &' pel r osse connected in- directly with a murder that had taken place in a neighboring town a number of provements as the ranchman needs would methods, can be used for stock grazing only—the uplands and _plateaus lylng re- mote from streams and the arid districta in which farmers cannot raise crops. Montana has much farming land, but a roat deal of the Territory 1s fitted only or grazing purposes. Colonles of farm- ors whose lands will be supplied with water by lrrigation companies will no doubt be established in Wyoming, yet the area so occupled will be small for years to come,the remainder of the coun- try belng given over to stockmen. More than one-half of Colorado 1s stock grazing land, while Arizona is almost entirely so, and New Mexico, Utah and Idaho do not offer to the farmer, except In compara- tively small tracts, good farming land. The public land of the states and territo- ries mentloned is stocked with cattle, This occupancy of the govvrnment land by stockmen is in one sense unlawful, though not made in defiance of law. It has been done without the protection of law, yet it is a fact of general knowl- edge, and has been permitted the United States authorities. ‘‘The grazing business of the plains had its inception about 1870, and the men who first undertook the enterprise did so at the risk of their lives and prop- erty, which were in danger of depreda- tions from the savage Indian tribes, and also from the then unknown and untried effect of thelr enterprise has been, first, to create a valuable industry represented by alarge amount of taxable property, and, second, to prevent, by the vast herds of cattle in a manner previously unknown, the rise in the price of beef which would otherwlse assuredly have taken place owing to the very rapid in- crease of our population. The suits brought agalnst a number of cattlemen for fencing in public lands have created an impresaion in the east that ranchmen generally fence in their ranches with a view to exclude settiers taking up public land under the homestead laws. The truth is that by far the largest number of ranches are not inclosed by fencer, and| ranchmen generally prefer an open range —a region without a fence. Ina major- ity of instances where large tracts of grazing lands have been fenced the losses of cattle have been such and public opin- ion so strong in their condemnation that that the owners are voluntarily taking down their fences. and a large number of them have already been removed. The ranch owners of the plains desire to pur- sue their vocation In accordance with law. They are not aesirous of using the grazing facllities without cost, and as a body they are unqualifiedly in favor of some legal method by which they can pay an equivalent for what they re- “‘The present action of the stock- growers is not a movement of the rich against the poor, nor is it one to prevent the settler from pre-empting farming land. By the plan we Intend submitting to the government stockmen now occu- Pying ranges may retain legal possession of them during the existence of a lease, but under restrictions whick will permit the taking up of the same land by farni- ers at any time under the homestead laws, lands so taken being withdrawn from the rental. The motive in the de- sire of the men now grazing cattle on the plains to be recognized by law lies in the fact that there is danger of their belng overstocked by newcomers, These are often men not experienced in manag- ing the large herds which they drive upon a range, and not aware of its varl- able productiveness in grass crops. The owners of the cattle now grazing every- where on the plains and in the moun- taln parke are compelled every year to sell a certaln proportion of their herds in eastern markets in order to prevent the number from outgrowing subsistence. As an illustration of this fact it was stated in_the recent cattlemen's conyen. tlon at St. Louls, by the leading stock- growers of Texas, that their state is an- nually producing 800,000 head more cat- tle than its grazing lands will support, and that amount must be absolately re- moved from thelr ranges annually to market, “‘The reporta of the profits of the cat- tle business have induced capitalists, and especially foreign financiers, to form companies with & view of handling enor- mous herds on the plains, and, the land being free to all, they are sending cattle upon many ranges n such numbers as to expose & large proportion of the animals of the region to the risk of death by star- vatlon—to the certainty of it in the case uf a short grass crop and a severe winter, | ceeded For instance, 125,000 head of cattle have during the past season been driven upon the range lylng between the North Platte ‘“%V Po::u riva:lu,‘ west x: Fort Laramle, in Wyoming territory. 8 00) uence much of the land is as devold o'll“gqnn a8 the streets of New York, and if the ap- proaching winter should prove te be a strong one, the loss In cattle by death will be perhaps 20 to 30 per cent of all that graze in the reglon, Now, then, the stockgrowers of the western plalns pro. pose to sk of congress a qualified lease of the lands they ooccupy. The settled policy of the government in disposing of its lands to settlers is to transfer it to them In small tracts. The cattlemen will therefore not ask congress to sell to them their ranges, and they do not seek any change in the hemestead laws. They simply want to buy the grass which grows on thelr ranges from year to year and constitute every stock owner a law breaker perforce, and must inevitably result in the speedy restric- tien of the oattle raislng without substituting therefor any equivalent means of earning a livelihood.} 'I'he plan proposed has been carefully consldered by the association I represent, a body of which three.quarters of the members are the smaller class of stockmen, owning from 100 to 1,000 head of cattle. It is belleved that, if honestly carried out, the Interests of all would be amply protected. It contemplates placing in the hands of the secretary of the interior, or some oth- er proper officer of the government, the power to execute leases of the arid graz- ing lands upon such terms and in such manner as it may be determined, after a full investigation, will equitably protect the rights of all parties. These laws have already been carefully examined and classifled by a congressional commission, whose labors extended over six months of personal Inspection on the ground, and whose report is on file in the dapartment. No error can, therefore, be committed in the character of the lands sought to be leaged. ““Instead of special leases to individu- als or corporations, it is desired that all the stock owners within and between cer- tain natural boundaries, as, for instance, large rivers and chalns of mountains, shall become in a body the lessees of the grazing lands withia specified limits. In proportion to the amount of stock he owns, each of the ranchmen will contrib- ute toward the payment of the rental of the ontire tract. No fencing will be done, but each man’s cattle will have equal privileges of grazing at will over the entire tract. A sufficiency of focd is thereby insured to the cattle of the small owner in a much greater degree than could be done by individual leasing, as he obtains the acresge necessary and the freedom of range requisite for his cattle for a much smaller sum than he would it he rented an feolated tract for the same purpose. The ratio of increase being alike in all herds, small or great, the small stock owner is protected equally with the larger as to his future production. The total number of head of cattle which may be grazed within that section with those interested will oconsequently be limited by mutual agree- ment to the number which the entire acreage will feed based upon the recog- nized number of acres necessary for the supporttin that locality for a single ani- mal during one year. Within these lease-holds pre-emptions and homesteads will continue to be taken, and while the land is gradually brought under cultiva tion the cattle will continue to utilize the grass which annually renews itself. Thus the two Interests can be prosecuted har- moniously and with manifest benefit to the country until in the slow progress of time the farming Interest supersedes the grazing."” ——— VAINLY BEGGING MERCY, The Terrible Kate of Two Train ‘Wreckers, Near Purvis, Miss, Special Dispatch to the Globe-Democrat. Cuarraxooca, Tesw., December 27 — On the night of the 22d inst. the passen- ger traln on the New Orleans and North- western railroad between New Orleans and Atlantic, while running at the rate of forty miles an hour, was wrecked near Puryis, Miss., by an obstruction placed on the track by wreckers. Robert Tur- ner, of Oincinnatl, and his fireman were crushed to death by being bruised be- neath the tender. Tom Griff detective for the road, was sent to work up the case, and he soon had reasons to suspect three men and they were arrested and placed in jail at Parvls. They were charged with the crime and finally confessed, stating that they thought it was a frelght train and desired to wreck it In order to steal what they wanted for Christmas, They did not intend to wreck the passenger traln, and were sorry it wasdone. They also expressed contrition at the death of Turner and his fireman, Thoy stated that they wrecked a freight traln at the same pflu for the same purpose about a year ago, ‘The news of the ar- rest was kept very qulet, but soon be. came common talk among rallroad men, About 12:30 o'clock this morning fifty railroad men, including conductors, en- gineers, firemen, brakemen and section men boarded the south bound traln at Meridlan, The traln stopped at Purvis, snd the crowd got off and pro- at once to the jail, where they battered down the door with axes and sledge hammers, The prisoners, amid piteous appeals for meroy, were led out and ropes placed around their necks Their cries for wreck and swung up to trees, where their dead bodies were found dangling In the air this morning. It was about 2 o'clock when the terrible work of the lynchers was completed, and as the last man was swung off the mob stole quietly away. SKIN DISEASES OURED, By Dr, Frazier's Magic Oiotment.

The murderers had long ago ieen punished, but in working up the other case I found that some valuable dlamonds, stolen at the time of this mur- der, had been purchased by a broker in this city and afterward sold to a firm of jewelers. I traced them and discovered that they been mounted in ear-rings and sold to a young lady in town., Fol- lowing the matter up, I called on the young lady in question, and in her hus. band’s presence briefly recited the hi tory of the gems. When I came to the murder part she was horrified, and as I described to her the fact that the box in which they had foimerly been kept was found inthe blood of their previous owner, and that the stones themselves might at one time have had blood on them, she turned pale, put her hands to her ears, in which the gems sparkled re- splendently, and ecreamed——" “‘She wanted to get rid of them, eh?’ sald the other detective, removing his clgar from his mouth as the other paused to light one. “‘You'd have thought so,wouldn’t you?" continued the first speaker. *‘But that isn't what she said at all. She just grabbed her ear-rings and began to yell to her husbandg “‘Don’t you let this man take my diamonds, They are paid for, and they're mine, I've got the receipt for them, so there, now, and I don’t {‘mow anything about this bloody mur- er.” ““Her husband and I talked the matter over after awhile, and 1 arranged a meet- ing of the innocent parties who had had dealings with the diamonds, and they fixed up the matter somehow so that the family which owned them originally got them and the others did not lose much. But that is a fair sample of how much the owners of jewels think or care what their history may have been.” ———— Patti 8till in Her Prime, New York Times, Dec. 20. Mme, Patti’s performance in *‘Orispine e la Comare” attracted to the Academy of Music last evening one of those over- flowing and brilliant assemblages which it Is this artist's sole privilege to bring together., Mr. Mspleson makes it a rule to reserve the best things of the season for its closing nights, and this year's ex- perience indicates that he propuses ad- hering to his usual policy. Those per- over the footlights, The prosceniom boxes were the oconspicouous ones and, contained many well-known people, Mrs. Aungust Belmont, in black, wore her beautifal pearl ornamente, wnd Mr. Belmont was prominent in more to be appricated than any passed the box beside her. Mrs. D. O. Mills, who was Miss Tiny Livingston, was with them. Directly over them was Mrs. Astor, looklng ~very well in white, and the beauty Miss Langdon, In a dress of the same ~ color, eat next to her, Mrs. Willle Wetmore was alao in Mrs. Astor's box, and lookea extremely protty in black. Jn the Cutting box was Mrs, Brockholst-Cutting, who had with her the much discussed Miss Grant, who fa undoubtedly a handsome girl. Her col- oring was quite brilliant, which consider- ably increased her personal attractive: ness, On Monday night Miss Grant was with Mre, Perkins at the Metropolitan Opera house, and although she appeared in rosy white, as she did Friday night, the rosy hue of her cheeks was not 8o noticeablo. Mr, and Mrs, Von Hoffman, Miss Kittle Emmet, Mr, and Mrs. Rob- ert Livingaton, nee Taylor, Mr. and Miss Clift, Mr, Willie Graham, Mrs. Paran Stevens, ;Mr. and Mrs. Fred Schenck, Mrs. John H. Draper, and others were at the Academy to bid farewell to Patti. AN ELECTRIC S8CARF PIN, sons who do not hearken to Mme. Patti in “Crispino,” or in operas of a like cal- ibre, cannot claim, In fact, to have heard that peerless songstress at her best. Powerfully dramatic as she often shows herself in “‘Alda” and in ““La Traviata,” for example, it is only In such bright, ornate,and ripplingmusic as Rossint wrote for ‘Il Barbiere,” as Auber composed for **Les Diamants de la Couronne,” and as the Ricci brothers provided for *‘Cris- pino,” and oniy in characters as natural and joyous as Rosina Oatarina, and An- netta, that the vocallst's sparkling tones and faclle and dazzling execution, and the actress’s buoyancy of spirits and mas- tery of all the methods called into play by light comedy, are listened to and seen under the most favorable circumstances. How admirably Mme. Patti slogs and acts Annetta has often been et forth in these columns, and as time appears to pass on and leave the artist untouched by its wing the record of performances in bygone years might stand for yester : day's representation, As mentioned al” ready, the audience filled the house, and- as during last season, since which *‘Cris. pino” has not been heard, applause, en- cores, flowers, and recalls marked incessently the progress of the evening. 1t would be difficult to sin- gle out a few {ncldents of the entertainment as worthy of special com- mendation. With the exception of the scenes with the falry, which, though brief, are somewhat tedious, there is not a dull page in *Crispino.” And Mme, Patti's part fits her to perfection. Every one of her numbers were encored, from her first canzonet (‘Istorie belle”) to the last note assigned to her in the score; her duet and dance with Crispino—one of the most fatigulng bits of work a song- stresss can undertake, bat one which Mme. Patti performs with that absolute unconaciousness of effort which enhances tenfold the value and . impressiveness of all her efforts—caused quite a demonstra. tion of enthusiastlc delight, and her in- terpretation of **Il bacio,” in place of the dialect songs lubhmllflslvnn in the ban- quet scene, was follow by almost as hearty a testimonlal of pleasure. Mme, Pattl, as implied already may now and then eseay heavier roles, but she will find none in which the brilliaucy of her gifts and talent shine forth as in such characters as Annetta, whose song and attributes seem to correspond in the happiest manner with the quality of the songstess’ voice, the suppleness; of her talent, and her youthful and sunny dis- position, Bat twlce this season has the Academy of Music contained a goodly number of prominent fashionables, They were un- usually attentive to the performance and applauded the fair and favorite diva as if it were her firet appearance. Her dia- monds and jewels which she wore in the eecond act were an objeet of great at- traction and scrutiny, and several ladys whose brilllants are famous questioned the genuineness of those before them on Mume. Patti's dress. From one of the boxes were thrown upon the stageabunch of roses carried by oneof the ladies, and Patti took themup,kissed them,and show- ed by her manuer she thought they were How a Young Man in a Broadway Oar Attracted Attention, The New York Times says: Riding up town in a Broadway car last evening was a young foreign-looking gentleman of sallow complexion who attracted at- tention. Every once in a while a light would gleam from out of his scarf and illuminate the expanse of white collar above it. The light came from a small electric glow lamp made into a scarf pin, The lamp was in a small bulb of glass, about three.eighths of an inch in dlameter, and the light iteelf was no larger than a pin's head. It glowed, however, with exceeding brightness from time to time and the owner felt elated at the notice he attracted. “‘Never seen one before?” he sald to a Times reporter who was aboard the car. “I got this in Parls a little over two weeks ago. They are quite common there, and I guess they will soon be so here.” = ““Where does the light come from to light the lamp?" “Hers 1t {s.” Sayingso the young man took from out of his pis‘ol pocket a small inclosed box containing a battery. This box was about the slze and shape of a flat four-ounce bottle such as druggists use.for medicines. Two wires led from the box and connected with the scarf pin. About five inches distant from the box the wires passed through somethiug like a button, which, being pressed, com- pleted the circuit. Whenever the owner of the apparatus wished his pin to glow he simply pressed the button. False Tails, Philadelphia News, *‘Say! Hold up? Look here?’ shouted a queer-looking old codger, wearing a rat- skin cap and wrinkled top boots, to the driver of a stylish team on Twenty- second street above Chestnut.
