THE LANCASTER DELEGATES. | | good deal of Capital Oity's Rerresentatives to the State Convention For an Appropriation. COMMITTED TO NO CANDIDATE. Without Police The Investigation Travelers' Protective Org Lincoln Practically ¥ tection night - Association rized IFROMTIE BER'S LINCOLS BUREAU. As the day for the republican convention draws on query is wafted toward Lincoln as to what men and what measures the Lancaster dele gation will be secking when the doors of the convention are opened. A view of the field locally is productive of but one answer: Lancaster county and Lincoin will be, usual, “for the flag and an appropriation.”” To this end the state delegation was shaped and sclected, and the eandidates for governor or any other office can especta very kindly feeling and a part of tae delega- tion, no matter where the candidato comes from or what 1 nt issue. It is thonght by & number that when the latter end of the tickot is re d, and the delegation succeeded in assisting s ecandidates atthe jump, that it may sent a united front for the renomin of Superintendent Jones, but_there nothing whatever committed. The dele- gation willshow up when the time comes as the most non-committal body of dele- gates on the ground, and if appropria- tions the coming winter are not materi- ally assisted by that line of policy, 1t will be the first time on record that the Lan- men have missed the mark, This of policy is found by inquiry to have a goodly number of opponents. even in this city of expedited appropriations, and among the newer and brighter citizens, who sce Lincoln in 1ts individual worth with all the sounk posscssions necessary for selt .~u|.|»urv.un.fl self-propelling there are those who would like to see Lancaster county represented in state eonvention and legisiature with higher motives than a geasping hand for a semi- annual appropriation, The remark is often made that while Lincoln once needed to tight for spoils to place the city on permanent grounds, that the day is now well passed, and with 30,000 people it ought to look higher and realize that permanent state institutions here will be sustained and maintained generously without turning the intfluence of the capital city forever in sordid channels. The history of the present republican work at Lincoln is evidently a repetition of past years, and the state convention will find delegation from Lancaster working in the old channel that, in the words of Third di gentleman, “will run dry one of these days.” WITHOUT POLIC Lincoln has been pr lly without police for two days, and the calm peace and qui s that reigns shows what peacelnl ¢ s live in the capital city. The absonce of police is oned by the chief formally asking the resignation of every man on the force pending the promised investigation, and the chief himself, when tiie council meets to-night, proposes himself to hand iu his resigne.- tion. Then it will be ditheult to see just what the council will have to investigate if an investigation should be decided upon. The police have for a week past been doing practically nothing, and hardly an arrest has b orded in that tim N ere has not been need of arrests, for on Saturday evening ladies on the street had to dedge drunken men whose proper place was in the cooler, and the city has not become so good and Law-nbiding all atonce that arrests should drop off from a dozen to twenty a day to none at all. When the eity council as- sembl this evening there is a good promise of a great tinie, and an investi- gation that would reach down to the roots would be replete with in t and instructive to those who follow after, An investigation ot the cuptain of the mght force would be of especial interest. T. P. A Lincoln Post A, of the Travelers' Pro- tective association, held a long bus session Saturday evening, in which lieir constitution, by-law! ) were adey.ed, and the postis now legally organized. In the city of Lincoln there resides a very large number of the traveling men of the state, and their action in organmizinga post of their own under the state organ. ization, is 1 evidenco that they are wide awake and determined to have the comforts of a home of their own, a club room and all thut a thorough organ- 1zation c: give. In_the matter of s curing rooms, the president at the meet- g appointed a committee consis! Messrs. Whitman, Martin and Sohns, who will take this matter in charge. Their report will be asked for at the meeting of October 2d. In the constitation and by-laws of the post all the preliminarics of times of mectings, officers’ duties at same and the like arc provided for.

He was yisiting at the home of Robert Cotton in Huntingdonshire, when one night ¢ vision of his eldest son, a child in tender years, who was at that time in London, appeared to him with the r k of bloody cross on his forehead as if it had been cut with a sword. The dream so worried Jonsou that he passed the remainder ot the night in much anxiety and early the following morning hurried to lay the matter before his friend William Camden, the antiquary, who was stoppimg at the same hou Camden en- deavored to persuade him that it merely the resuit of apprehension e cerning his family and that he should not be dejected. T dramatis however, still remained uneasy in mind, and a short time subsequently recerved a letter from his wife informing him of the d of the child in question.

And the same may be said of dreams. During the siege of Chio, in 1431, a Genevian nmumed ( ani, who belonged to the garrison in the town, dreamed that a huge serpent attacked and endeavored to swallow him. In the morning he related this dream to severai friends. They, thinking this betokened a violent death, advised him not to go into the fight that ¢ accordingly, Jde during the fore noon, Grimani remained behind. Think- ing to view the engagement and at the he concealed himself behind the ramparts, but curios- ity getting the best of him, he stepped forward and peeped through a loop-hole.

This Jjust after he had formed an alliince with Henry of Na- varre and the Huguenot, and when he was advancing upon Paris at the head of 40,000 troops. Three days later, August 1, Jacques Clement, a fanatical Domini- can monk, under pretense of having im- 1t tidings to impart, secured an an- e with the French monarch and as- s ed him by plunging a dagger into body.

One day, when he was hunting m the forest of Touraine, he became weary and laid down upon the border of a little moun- tain rivalet and went to sleep. Hi 'squire, upon whose breast lie was lean- ing, also dropped into slumber, and dreamed that he saw emerge from the mouth of his royal master a small whit animal, which ran back and forth as if endeavoring to cross the stream, He extended his sword to serve as a bridge, tho strange animal erossed to tho other side and eutered into a recess in the opposite mountain, reappearing al- most immediately, however, and return- ing across the ‘torrent to the King's mouth. At this point the barking of the approaching hunting pack awukened Goutrand, who appeared much vexed at the mterruption of his slumber:; “ Why did you waken me?” he asked. “T was just dreaming that 1 erossed river on an won bridge, and that I en- tered o cavern filled with rich treas ures.” The Squire related in turn his own dream.

This is espee- ially true in regard to aflairs of scrious moment and subjects that have previ- ously demanded severe mental attention, In proof of this may be cited the dr of Tartini, which led to the composition of his famous sonata known as the **Sonate du Diable”—the Devil's Sonata. The celebrated composer, after vainly endeavoring to finish asonata, fell asleep in bis chair. The subjeet followed him in his sleep, and he dreamed that he again apphed himself to bis tasg, but with out any apparent suecess. He was in the est despair. Suddeniy the Devil ap- peared before him and proposed that he should complete the sonata provided the musician would surrender his soul in re- turn for the tuvor.

Who, the wears the puste dinmonds and other imi- tation gemis which are manufactured? To this question an answer of a rather startling kind has more than once been given, and one of the latest may here be noted. A gentleman who wus deeply - volved in the pursnits of the turf, re- quiring a considerable sum of money to pay his debts of honor, stole his_wife's jewels in order to pawn them. To his consternation the pawnbroker refused to look at them. “Why?” was feverishly asked. *‘Becanse they are paste.” *‘Pasto! My wife's jewels puste?’ “Yes. I sup- plied her with them. The originals are in my safe; I advanced £1,300 upon them.” Unfortunately, the genileman’s wife was as great a gambler as her hus- band, and she had been obliged to pawn her diamonds to meet her own liabilities. The ingenuity of persons who *‘get up’ precious stones and mock-pearis for ‘‘the trade’’ has been off commented upon and frequently censured. A London lapidary who works in the groove indi- cated was called upon, a few months ago, m a court of law to explain his mode of procedure. *Imake all my imitations out ot real stones,” his reply to the judge. On b asked to be more ex- plicit he said: haps I possess some pale stones which are so small value; these [ split by the aid of my tools; then, introducing a deeper tone of color, I join them together again having considerably mere alable value.” 1In this manner the colors of many stones are said to be intensified, such as emeralds, sapphives, amethysts, and others, Dia’ monds are constantly utilized by being split, cach half of a gem perhaps’ doing duty on a paste foundation, on w h 1t has been carefully mounted. A stone which may be of the value of £10, hay- ing been split at little cost, is carefully mounted and becomes transformed into two gems, cach aflirmed to be worth that sum. It requires a clever expert to de- teét such frauds when they are cleverly executed or to discover'that tho *‘fire” mparted to certain stones that would otherwise be dull to hue and greatly deficient 1n sparkle is conferred by so ;ix;;plu an expedient as a backing ot tin- oil. The invention of what are called “‘doublets” in diamond dealing can be traced back for centuries. One mode of getting up false stones has been described by Jerome Carden, who has published in detail the method of the inventor, ene Zocolino. This person’s way of working was to procure a thin flake of a very in- ferior and ulu-n]v example of the stone he desired to “improve,” choosing one which had little color, and might in con- sequence be procured at a nominal price. As a bottom for his ‘*make-up” he took a bit of erystal which he had shaped to his purpose, covered this with a transparent glue, with which he had mixed the nee- sary coloring material, so as to be like finest specimen of the gem he intended to forge, he carefully fixed on the flake of the stone and, concealed the joining of she two so deflly by carefully setting as Ty T X gomy were not only genuine but really Tiner than those of other jewelers, Kor a time Zocolino flourished and was enabled by means of cunning workmanship to de- ceive the cleverest lapidaries; but detec- tion eame at lastand put an end to his fraudulent practices in gem making. It may be mentioned as a warning to travelers that the Singhalese at Colombo are experts in such frauds, and frequently versuade persons to purchase cleverly set up doubluts, or pisces of rock-crystal out and polished. Doublets in many cases, especially when both parts are really diamonds, are somewhat diflicult to de- tect even by men who have had great ex- se in the gem and jowel trades. Be- fore leaving the diamoud we may men- tion another kind of fraud connected with it. Often, when these gems have been set in a cluster, it has been found on examination that at least one of the stones is wade of paste. or s perhaps a doublet. A rather curious story went the round of the press some years, when, on. the death of a lady of title, it was found that more than one-third ot the family diamonds were composed of fglse stones. These imitations had been so beautifully executed that none but the eleverest dealers were able to dete them; while in the case of some of th stones it was not till specific gravity hac been tested that a decision could be ar rived at It has been found on examination, we believe, that neck laces of so-called real diamonds have often contained 20 per cent of doul other stones of questionable quality spectable dealers in jowelry that it is the public who are to blame the production of false jow in be given at the prices offe Retail jewelers are not themselves, not be versed in the technical dental to their trade Tradesmen of repute, ceedingly R¢ maintain for knowing ms could not { od for them, o seldom decerved rhaps. well o inci 18 they ought to be 10WeVEer, are ox careful in their lection of stock, no gem ber red for sale un less it is known to be genuine Many gems are really goms of a kind, although not the gems they are pretended to but in all probability are composed of picees of quartz “got up* for the mar- | ket, quartz ber ted a8 being able to stand the of the file, which glass cannot do. There are v ties of topaz and other stenes which are as hard as the diamond; and, being entirely colorless, they are often eut and polished and suc cessfully palmed off as diamonds, This colorless gem material is costly in conse- quence of the use to which it can be turned. ng. 0 nowled, STARC The First, the Orletna starch (hui putup by men wh cal kno of the Inundr Koepa thoron Wt Ve, AN glven stiffnoss and beautitul polisn they Which, eversbody knows. keeps them ¢ ¥ Keo that tho name J. & Coun, v 00 0 collars that V8 ‘whien new, 4 - u One bottle of Red Star Congh Cure cured my cold.—Mr, F.
