New York, July 2.—[Speclal to the Bee. | =~The jewelry trade Is well adapted by reason of its nature and necessities to serve as an Index to the general prosperity of the whole country. No trade Is more affected by good crops and an easy money market, and none =+ reflects more quickly the depressing influence of hard times. During recont years retail b Jewelers have displayed more conservatism ¢ 1In purchasing their supplies than formerly. Instead of laying in large stocks, some of which they would be obliged to carry over from one season to another, they have aimed more to carry only such quantities as the needs of their customers would seem to war- rant. ‘The result of this policy was apparent in last spring’s trade. Stocks throughout the United States had become pretty well de- pleted and as a consequence the sales by manufacturers and jobbers exceeded those of ‘ onme year ago tor the same period. A quickened demand has tended to create a feoling ot confidence all round. This, too, in the face of the fact that retail trade in the spring season is of a trifling and_ephomeral haracter, seldom lasting longli} than five orsix weeks. Two important failures at ~, Chicago, one the Clapp & Davies affair, the other the Weber-Rosenkranz, shattered con- fidence for a time, but the effect was not far- "~ reaching nor lasting. Both fallures were pretty bad ones, the Clapp & Davies espe- clally. New England manufacturers were hit the hardest, but while the a:gregate loss 'Was large, it was 80 divided up among uun(y firms that the shock was not as serious as it otherwise would have been. No trade In the country is more prone to f‘" long credits and take chances on doubtful customers. June 2 usually marks the opening of the fall and Loliday season on the part of manu- urers and jobbers, Then the cheap Jewelry manufacturers from Providence, the ‘Attleboros and other parts of New England, and the gold goods manufacturers from New- ark ana elsewhere bezin to drop into New York with completed stocks of new designs, to meet the jobbers and agents and place or- ders for July and August dellvery, 1tis fully a month earlier than there is any ne- cessity for, but the custom is one that has been obseryed for years, and 18 likely to con- tinue indefinitely, The jobbers, almost without exce‘gnon. insist thav the season opens fully thirty days or even forty days =arller than it should by good ll%h\&- . Malden Lane is the center of the jewelry trade of the United States. A careful can- vass of the leading jobbers and agentsreveals the fact that stocks on hand are smaller than usual at this season and the leaders of the £ (market almost unanimously look forward to fall trade that will exceed in volume that for any like perlod for five years past, and 86 at the outsetto piace orders accord- ngly with the manufacturers. This will be case especially v the cllelgel grades of Jewelry. lmporters of line watch movements are also placing larger orders. It Is & noteworthy fact that the low class Plllld ouds come chiefly from New Eng- and. %ha home of the shrewd, bargain- driving Yankee 13 also the home of brass Jewelry, Before and during the civil war . -.colossal fortunes were coined there in this branch of the trade.

If the race takes place it will be for $270 a side, and will oc- cur at the base ball grounds two weeks from to-day. The distance will be ten miles and the race will no doubt be a close and- excit- ing one. but on the Tommy Warren Urawflshes. Mr, Herb Rothery is in receipt of the fol- lowing epistle from Tommy Warren, the Minneapolis featherweizht, in which he “crawfishes” with much eclat. But here it i MINNEAPOLIS, MInn., June 80.—Dear i Just received your letter and hasten to an- swer. 1f you will guarantee me $350 to spar fifteen rounds with two-ounce gloves at 118 pounds weight twelve hours before the fight or at ring side, match to come off in three or four weeks under your sole management, I will be on hand. you guarantee me S win or lose, send on articles of agreement im- medmnlg and I will deposit $200 with some responsible party to on hand at proper weight. Answer at your earliest conveni- ence. I must have made a mistake if 1 said I'would fight Miller for 8300 a side. I meant nothing less than $500, fight to take place halt way between here and Omala, winner to take all the gate money. KEither will suit me—$350 for fifteen rounds or $500 and the gate, to the winner of a fight to a finish, nght to take place half way between here and Omaha. X ours Respecttully, TOMMY \VARREN. Mr. Rothery Is determined that a go shall be brought about between Miller and Warren at any cost or hazard, Warren in his last ef- fusion maintains his reputation as a schemer and A “‘crap,” as in a former communication he distinctly specified his willingness to come to Omaha and do battle with Miller for 300 & side and the gate receipts. However, notwithstanding his parsimonious actions, he is gawe to the core, and Miller would do well, exceedingly well, if he should be able to even make a draw with him. Local Sporting Tips. Tho Denvers, thirteen men with Manager McClintock, are at the Merchants. « Everybody go out and see thegame this afternoon—it will be a great one, The Omaha toboggan slide is to be materl- ally overhauled and Improved for next winter. George K. goes down to Kansas City next month for sparring exhibitions at the coliseum, The Council Bluffs races will begin the fourth, and the Indicatious are that the meet will be highly successful in all details. Little Bader Is worth his weight in scraj fron to the Omahas. He can give them eards and spades and beat them hands down at base running. One of the novel attractions at the fair rounds on the Fourth will be the race of ohn S. Prince against one of the fastest thoroughbred trotters in the state, five miles stralghtaway. ‘The mere fact that the Denvers beat the Omahas three straights on their own grounds will attract an immense crowd at nssociation k this afternoon. Everybody s anxious &?’ see If they can make it four. The chances aro that they can’t do it Prot. Hunt, who makes the balloon ascen- slon from the fair grounds on the Fourth, gets $400 for the trip. He expects to reach an altitude of threo and a half miles and travel not less than fifty miles. The eon- tract provides that he must go out of sight.

Ashinger, Kunavp and Eck will go in thiss = Oh no, there won‘berny fun at the fair grounds to-morrow, with the balloon ascen- sion, chariot, trotting, running, sack and foot races, jumping: weestding, lifting and throwing, ‘mule 1.wn.. bicycle races, pole vaulting, and agimtivg the fantastic toe. There will also be an oleaginous pig, a reased pole, and all sorts of divertisements or the multitude, and whoever stays away will pe after kicking himself to death the next day. To illustrate the glorious uncertainties of base ball, it 1s but necessary to mention that the Hastings team went to Denver and took three straight games from the Denvers; then the Omahas go to Hastings and win three straights from the conquerors of the Den- vers; then the Omahas run down to Denver, and, camrar{ to all scientific deductions, dump three straights to the Denvers. Thus it wili be seen that Hastings is stronger than Denver, Omaha stronger than Hastings, and Denver stronger than Omala. In other words the strongest club is the weakest, and the weakest the strongest.

Prrrsnurc, July 2.—Senator Sherman passed through this clty this morning en- route from the east to hishome in Ohio. In an interview he emphatically denied the statements about Blaine, credited to him in aNew York interview, published In this morning’s paper. Said he: “I was notin- terviewed in New York. What appears in the morning papers was manufactured, [ was in a room in the hotel where a number of gentlemen were talk- fng, but I was not interviewed. 1 never said Blaine was not a candidate for the presidency. 1 don’t know whether he is a candidate or not, and certainly would not make such a statement unless I did know. Nor did I say anything about his giving him- self up to literature, Blaine and I are the best of friends, and it is unkind to put nouth that I never uttered. Some politicians say that he may not have the same element of support in New York that he had during the last campaign. As regards interviewing all I ask is to be let ne.” If the rebel flag question likely to be re- \'l\‘»ad ndurlng the next presidential cam- paign 2 ; “It will not be forgotten. It will rise up during the next campaign.and will likely play an important part!in it. I can’t say what were the mogiyes r&t President Cleve- land in issuing the onder for the return of the flags.

There are about fifty-one in the company, including officers, Accompanying Colonel Sweet was a gentlembn from Chica- R0 who took the measures of the members of the company preparatory to making ‘suits of clothing for the boys. Since the appropria- tion made by the legistature last wiuter, the different companies of Nebraska are assum- ing an active interest in themselvesand will, no doubt, try to reeeive the approval and good will of all persons in this state, Here- tofora the companies did not take that inter- est that is expected of then, but this was due to the fact \hat thiere was no mouney to help them along, There i3 going to be quite a a competition between the old reglment and the new one, as the latter claim they are go- ing to make 1t the pride of Nebraska.

Discussing the President Over Lomon Soure—New York's Retrospeot— A Female Monte Cristo—Gon- eral National Capital News, ‘Workingmen at Leisure, vaToN, July 2.—[Special to the BEE.|—A politician engaged in the banking business in New York state was asked the generalopinion of his confreres upon the Saturday balt-holiday law which has just gone into effect in New York. He repled: “The opinion, as far as I can judge, is unan- fmous in condemnation of the act. Itls the biggest fraud ever perpetrated on the Amer- lean people, from a tinancial standpolut.” “How do you make that out?” “The law was made ostensibly in behalf of the laboring people. Now what is the result? ‘There Is not a farmer in the state who gives his “help” a half-holiday on Saturday, sim- ply because his work cannot be neglected in order that the law may be obeyed. Then, too, manufacturers who close up at noon on Saturday do not pay thelr em- ployes for the lost half day. It laborers fall to work they luse just 80 much.” “Yes, but how does it affect the banks?” “It is benoficial to banks and bankers, because it increases their receipts, or will do so just as soon as it goes into full effect. The law provides that when a piece of commercial paper falls due on Sunday, 1t must be paid on Monday, provided it was made after May 25th. If Monday happens to be a legal hollday it will not become due until Tuesday. In other words a note or acceptance falling due on Sanday may, in certain cases have five, instead of three days of grace. Now a banker thinks time too precious to spend in the examination of almanacs to see whether three, four or five days are to be added to a note, consequently lie_compromises on five days, In order that he may not lose interest for a day by Inad- vertance. It is plain therefore that the banker comes out ahead, for hereafter all paper offered for discount Is figured at five days grace and although it may be due three davs from fits face maturity, the bor- rower will certainly have to pay the discount for the full period. The law does the bor- rower no good, but it increases the earnings of the ‘bloated’ capitalist every time,” Flags and Flagellation, WasaiNeToN, July 3—[Special to the BeE.]—Although the feeling which followed the order of Adjutant General Drum for the restoration of the captured flags to their original owners has subsided in a measure, there still exists a belief among the most trusted advisors of the president that he has sounded his political death knell by his haste to approve the order which excited so much commotion among the men who fought on the union siae during the conflict which preceded the capture of the flags. Within the past few days your correspondent has talked with a great many of the warmest supporters of the president upon the sub- Jject of the flags,and he has found that they are of the opinlon, almost to a man, that thousands of votes have been lost to the democratic party through the failure of Mr., Cleveland to see the seutiment which under- lies the feellng of resentment towards him. One of the men who has been foremost in ading him to reach the pinnacle upon which he stands said to-day: “Itis my opinion that the vresident could have recovered from the blunder if he had gone the right way about it. But he neglected his opportunity and now 1 fear that he must suffer the consequences. If he had rescinded the order with the explanation that he had made a mistake in not looking more care- fully.into the effect of the suggestion of the secrotary ot war he would have been all right. But Instead of that he very unwisely stuted that thelaw alone prevented him from carrying out his original intention and to cap ‘the climax he, for the first time in the history of the country, recognized the co: federacy officially by referring to the ‘col federate states.” "The whole affair is exceed- ingly unfortunate for the party, and the republicans will doubtless be great galners Dy the ineident.” Big Political Talk. WASHINGTON, July 2.—|Special to the Bee.,J—The Hoffman House cafe in New York is the Mecca to which all politicians seek to journey whenever they visit the me- tropolis, Here you may find at any hour of the day parties of prominent men who sit arouna a small table discussing men and events. New York politicians naturally predominate. A day or two ago your corre- spondent found there half a dozen men who are prominent in the affairs of the state and nation. Among them was the Hon, “Dan’’ Lockwood of Buffalo. Dan used to be known asthe “great nominator.” He it was who presented the name of Grover Cleveland to the demoerats of Krie county as thelr candidate for sherifft. Again, about ten years later, when the same party was ecasting about for A suitable candidate for mayor of Buffalo, Lock- wood sprung to the breach, mounted the ros- trum and called attention tothe merits of Grover Cleveland as a candidate for the may- oralty. Once more in 1883, in the Syracuse convention of the democracy, the fame and character of Grover Cleveland was set forth to the democrats of the empire state, and Lockws was the man_who filled the bill. Tha following year in Chicago his party was looking about for a leader, when Liockwood's handsome face attracted the attention of the multitude and every ear in that vast asser bly was strained to catch every word as he eloquently touched upon tne life and publie services of Grover Cleveland just as he vre- sented his name as the candidate of the dem- ocratic party for the presideney. Dan Lockwood's _advocacy of Grover Cleveland in four different campaigns un- doubtedly aided him materially in winnin every one of them. Dan Lockwood has been regarded as Cleveland’s mascot and without Lockwood in the van the party in New York would be disheartened and sad. Of course Dan has been “rocognized" for his services Oh, yes. He was appointed about a year ago to the vosition of United States district attorney for the nortnern district of New York. If he works hard and is economical in his_expenses he can perhaps make 2,000 or $3,500"out of this office. He has never been seen in Washington since the inaugura- tion proceedings in 1885, ‘'he party in the Hoffman house had been discussing politics, and the opinion had been freely expressed that Cleveland was anxious for a renomination. I asked Lockwood if he would again the role of “nominator.” lHln reply was terse and emphatic, He sald simply: {zu):m,g man, } am not in that business at present.” It was the way he said it that carried the force of the words right home. His tone surprised everyone present, and for a mo- ment no one spoke. ‘Then one of his best friends rang the bell for cigars, or something of that kind, and another reached over in my direction and whispered, “Mr. Lockwood believes that the lent gave him his pres- ent intment g{:mu« he knew that Dan ‘would not disobey his order, and would not mix in national” politics while holding a federal oftice.” Femal Monte Christo. GTON, July 2.—[Special to the 'No one who hes not had prac- tical experience has any idea of the various duttes which a consul representing his coun- try abroad Is required to verform,” said Dr- St. Clair, the able ehlef of the consular bu- reau of the state departmont, to your corre- spondent yesterday. *“Not only have they to 100k after the commercial Interests of their country but they have to attend to some of the queerest kind of requests from their countrymen at home, 1t has more than once been the case that a consul has been applied to purchase peculiar animals found in the ocountry.to whioh they are accredited all the from Eleptiants to rare kinds of lizards. Very frequently they are asked to collect a number of specimens of sea shells peculiar to their part of the world. Only a short time ago we received a request from a gentleman In Kentucky asking that the consul at Barce- lona, in Spain, procure for him a fine spect- men of the native ass, for breed- Ing purposes, the gentleman being under the Impression that that animal attained to a large s1ze in Spain. The request was forwarded and the Kentuckian has since received a very fine animal of the donkey kind. Butthe more frequent requests outside of the purely commercial duties of the consul are of a purely private and family kind, Ifa son, daughter, husband or wife goes astray, or if information is required of the whereabouts of a person of any degree of relatlonship to the inquirer in a foreign country, application is at once made to the representative ot this country nearest to the place where the missing person is supposed to be and the consul Is asked to look him up. Some very startllog romances have been un- earthed in this way through the consular agencles. That was a strange case which was unearthed some time ago in Florence, Italy, by Mr. A. Schuyler Crosby, who was then United States consul at that place. One day he was conducting a party of Americans through the principal vlaces of Interest in the city and among the places visited was the insane asylum. As the party was going through the wards one of the inmates of the Institution suddenly called out to Mr.Crosby : *‘Oh, sir, you are an American, are you not? For God’s sake come here and listen to my story.” Mr. Crosby went to the cell from whence the piteous appeal came and saw behind ‘the bars a woman much emaciated but apparently sane. He listened to her story and after makine in- quiries set himself to work to procure her re- lease,in which he succeeded after a great deal of trouble. The woman’s story was as fol- lows: She was born in Mobile, Ala., of wealthy parents, and being attractive in ap- arance she had a number of suitors for her hand in marriage. One day an Italian came to the city. He was handsome and wrote the prefix “‘count” beforehis name. He soon got himselt introduced into the best circles of Mobile society, and by his pleasant and courteons bearing became a great favorite among the ladies of the place. " He became a constant visitor at tho house of Miss —, the subject of this story, and intimacy began to ripen into love on the part of the young girl. Heor Ymms did not approve of tue mateh, but the handsome Italian portrayed in vlow- ing terms the wealth of his affection for her and the beauties of the lovely Florentine home which he wished her to become the mistress of, At last his entreaties were suc- cessful and the VOIIW girl was married to the ‘count”’ secretly. hen uu;{lrl's parents heard of 1t they were enraged, Her father refused to have anything to do with her, and stead of giving her the fortune he had in- tended to be hers, settled on her the sum of £2,000 a year. ‘The young couple started for Europe, but it scon became apparent to the ‘wife that her husband was not enly not in love with her but that his only object in mnrrymf her was to procure her fortune, and having failed in that, through the anger of her father, nad no moro use for her, Shortly after reaching Florence, the “count” had three physicians called in and they made an examination ot the young girl, much to her surprise and terror. On the ullm\'lnfi day a'covered wagon came to the house and she was toldto get inside. When she refused she was seized from behind and rudely bound and bandaged. She fainted and when she recovered she found herself in the insane asylum. ‘There she remained for over two years until she was found by Mr. Crosby. Meanwhile the husband who "had caused her incarceration, wrote home to her parents that she was very sick and descrived the ex- E:rnse she was putting himself to, in order take proper care of the girl he loved so well. The father was too proud to allow him to bear the full expense of his daughter’s ill- ness under the circumstances, and the an- nual remittances continued to come along. The *count’ paid $500 to the asylum, tor the keeping of his wife, and lived in good style upon the remaining $1,500. As soon as the news reached Mobile, of the true state of aflairs, however, the remittances suddenl stopped and the young girl was receive home with open arms. The *“count is still living in Florence but has had to resort to other means of earning a living, A Quoer Oase. WAsSHINGTON, July 2.—[Special to the Beg.|—A pecullar case under the naturaliza- tion laws came under the notice of the state department a few days ago. Itisa question yetto be decided whether the person most Interested can be punished for obtaining American citizenship under false pretenses. Some five years ago a man who was born in Morrocco came to this country and has lived here the greater portion of the time since. When the period of five years’ residence had been accomplished he applied for and ob- tained tull admission as an American citizen. Seven days after he procured a passport from the state department, setting fortn the fact of his citizenship, and then salled for his old home in Morocco, where it s his intentfon to remain, An American citizens in a non-christian country is of course not entitled to taxation by any for- eign power, Neither can he be taxed by the United States so long as he remains abroad and holds his property abroad. Therefore this man, by his residence of five years here, during which time he is receiving his educa- tion in his profession, acquired a paper which will save him a sum equal to man: thousands of dollars 1n taxation, for himself and his family and servants, which is alto- gether a very profitable Investment for him, 80 long as the naturalization laws remain a8 they now are.
