THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1890, NEW ST. JOSEPH HOSPITAL, The Corner Btone Laid Yesterday in an Imposing Manner, ADDRESS BY REV. T. S. FITZGERALD, S. ). Ristiop Scannell of Concordia, Kansas, Oficiates and & Large Con- course Witness the Inter- esting Ceremony, The eorner stone of the new hospital of St. Joseph onUastellarand Te.th streets was laid yesterday in a most impressive manner in the presence of 5,000 people. The spectators be- longed to every class and calling in the com- munity, and among them were many who, in days gone by, had experienced the charity which the present institution has for a long time dispensed without regard to condition or creed, Little effort had been made to secure a full atteudance of the Catholic societies of the city though it had been anuounced in the press that such organizations as felt so dis- posed woald be welcome 1o take part in the procession. The rendezvous was at St Patrick's church, corner of Fourteenth and Castellar strects, At 945 p. m, the line was formed and marched east on Castel- lar to Thirteenth, thence to Pacific, thence to Tenth and finally south to the structure wh ich hias been completed up to the middle line of the first story. ‘Ihe following organizations took artp iu the displa Cuion Pacific band.

J., Ne Schryver, Smith, Glauber and Jennette, who had charge of the ceremony These were followed by Bishop Scannell, a tall, slight, austere gentleman of Concordia, Kan., who' had teen specially requested to officiate At this time a number of gentlemen prow!- nent in the city were admitted to the floor of the building, among them being John A. Creighton, whose liberality had sugg donation of the ground; James Cr superintendentof construction; John Schenlk, George Krug, Louis Schroeaer, Counciluan Bechel, Hy Itnyer, D, J. 0'Donahoe, Charles Ogden, Henry Vo ect of the building, J. B Furay, Thomas Swift, Thomas Fitzmaurice, Dr, MciCenna, Dr. Grossman, Commissioner L. M. Anderson, John Lee, Michael Donovan, Daniel Shelley, John L. Miles, City Treasurer Rush, Commissioner O'Keefe, Dr. Mattice, and others. When the clergy had reached the corner in which the stone rested Bishop Seannell donned his mitre and a_beautiful white satin cope richly oruamented with a_floriated de- sign. ‘The assistant priests, Fathers Dax- acher and Moriarity, were attired in dal- matics of the same material and ornamenta- tion, while Father Choks, the bishop’s tendunt, was vested like the other clorgy, in lace surplice and black soutane. ‘The ritual of the Catholic church for such cases was read by the bishop, water, which was carried in a small font was blessed, then some salt was blessed, Finally both the water and salt were mixed and again blessed, A procession was then formed and in the following order marched around tha build- ing, the bishop the while using an sspergill and sprinkling the unfinishod walls, First an acolyte from St. Patrick’s church Dearing a processional cross then three more ncolytes in various colored cassocks: then the clergy chanting psalms and finally the bisbop and his attendants Returning to the stone the bishop read a few moro lines fromthe ritual, The stone was raised by the attendin workmen and as It ascended the band played an impressive air. The foreman then spread red and white mortar beneath the block as did also the bishop. The stone was then lowerod and laced in position under the direction of Mr. [Folt of Drexell & Foll, the stone contractors. The trowell used by Bishop Scaunell was of sohd silver blade with ebony handle and silver rings. After ithad served its purpose, the bishop turned toward Mr. James Creighton, the superintendent and handing the trowel to that gentleman said: I have been requested by the sisters of St. Francis who are to have charge of this Thospital to tender to this trowel and ask you to ncceptit in recognition of what you hiave done toward the erection of this nospital and avhat your family have done toward it and the cause of religion in this community. 1 hope that you may find your reward in this life and that God willreward you with “eternal life hereafter,” Mr. Creighton in_accepting the symbol of hig oftice us suporintendont said: 1 accept this trowel as an evidence of re- gard and will use it honestly in the erection of this building.” The trowel is beautifully engraved on one side as follows: ‘“Corner stons laying Nov. 25, 1890, by Rt. Rev, Richard -Scannoll of Concordia, Kausas. Presented by the Sisters of St. Francis to James Creighton, superintendent.” n the reverse is the following: “John A. Creighton in memoriam of the iate Mrs. Sarah k. Creighton, foundress of Creighton wemorial hospital, Omaha, Neo.” The dedication of the stone, which was on- fmuo-liu Latin on parchment, to be placed n the cavity of the stone, was then attestod by the bishop, John A. Creighton, Council- man Bechel, Commissioner Anderson, George Krug, Henry Voss, James Creighton, Join Doherty, Revs. Breitkop!, Fitzgerald, Dax- acher, Jennette, Choka. » Trauslated freely the dedication is as fol- lows WRor the greater glory of God, in the year of our Lord 15%), on th dey of Novem- ber, 1n the potificateof our holy , father Leo XI1I, happily reigning, in the absenge of the R, Hev.

The occalion itself is its own best eulog The work it which wo are engaged sta not inneed of the borowed charm of eloquence (even had 1 it to offer) either to enlist your sympathy or to awaken in you feelings of ap- preclation ana support. is event, 1n which we are participating, speaks for itself and ap- peals [ its own native worth, stronger than any elog uence, t the purest and noblest im- pulses of the human heart, *“But though words of mine can add nothing to the merit or excellence of the enterpriso vhich we inaugurate today, they must not on account remain unspoken. The public acknowledgment of a blessing is often neces- sary. On the preseut occasion it scems a most sacred duty, a compliance with which my own heart urges and yours, I foel, exact. “Asa text for my remarks I can turn 1o nothing more appropriate or suggestive than the silent legend inscribed on the corner stone which we are placing today, It is the best panegyric of the spirit which you have come forth to honor: 1t is the truest eulogy of the name which is adding one more glo to your fair city of Omaha. The corner stone of a ‘reighton Memorial and a St. Joseph's Hos- pital of the Franciscan & rhood could have no more fitting epitaph than the Christly log- end which juspired it:—‘Blessed are the me ciful for they shall obtain mercy.’ The worids died away centuries ago on the hillside of Palestine, but the spirit wkich ln‘nmplml them came to abide in the world and to live among men in order tomalke the world bright- er and men better by just such monuments as Cireighton Charity and Franciscan Sacrifice are rearing in _our midst. This stoue indeed His legend fittingly con- whose beatitude it 1s that inspived rity of your santly townswoman, Fonma Creighton, and her generous to create this memorial, und that apt and sustain vhe sacrifice of the daughters of St. Francis in carrying it to a complete and crowning success, & ame, then, and in the name of ent of Omalia, irrespective of race ass or creed, I bespeak grateful tribute 1o the authors of the noble institution, which is soon to grace our ci Here class distinc- tions and race prejudices have no place, and here warring sects may restin the truce of a comuon blessing, Neither race mor class can withhold their tribute no more than they can ignore the 1lls to which humaniy; il and to the relief of whi i £ reared. No creed need scruple or hesitate to offer its meed of praise, for the corner-stone, which we are placing today, is as broad as our common humanity and affords a plat oo which Jew and Geatile, saint andsinner, theist and atheist alike, may stand, Hero belief and unbelief may accept a common religion and kneel in the profession of a com- mon faith, In a certain sense, orin different senses, we all profess a religion of humanity and espouse a creed, whose evaugel is hu- ty's weal. he building, "whose fnception we are commemorating, 1s this religious temple, and the corner-stone we are laying this religion’s altar, where all may come and offer the com- mon worship of gratitude and praise to those whom Christ’s beatitude inspired to bless our community with this majestic monument of their love of humanity aud pity of human SOrToW. ““There are those, Tam aware, who profess & religion of humanity and who boast that its shrine is the only one at which they kneel, but who, by a strange inconsistency. sneer acv & worship whose prerogative it is and whose time-attested privilege it has been to inspire sous and daughters to found just such temples of humaniiy as this Creighton memorial and Franciscan hos- fonists tho temple which wo are erecting will always be a silent rebuke, 1t will, perbaps, suggest tothem that if thero be such a thing as a true religion of human- ity, He must have been its founder whose beatitude of mercy i bed on today's corner stone and whoso spirit, in every land and clime, in every age from His to ours has created refuges for every species of human suffering. 1t will, probably, suggest to them that if a true religion of humanity exists in the world, none hold stronger presumptive evidence of its pos on than the noble and generous souls, who, at the instance of Christ's Beatitude, are leaving this splendid leritage to the poor and ucfortunate of our common race. 'That our race necds a veligion whose profession creates institutions like this, few, I think, will venture or care to deny. The true religionists of humanity, cer- tainly, hay y occasions for the exercise and prac ¢ creed, In the fierce struggle which men are waging for existence and 1w their still wilder rush for prominence and superiority, we meet alas! with too many instances of what has been aptly styled “Man's umllmnni'.elv to man" T'he atrocitzes which the sclfishuess of our nature either perpetrates or permits are often fearful indeed and almost sificient at times to make us doubt if after all there be any thing as innate nobility of the human Iu the race for wealth aud _position are we not seemingly at the mercy of & ruth- less and relentless law, elsewheré known as “Survival of the fittest,” which like the fabled car of the Hindoos, crushes and man- gles thousands for the few it carries to the oall *The quality of mercy’ often indesd seems ‘strained,’ and its quantity in many places sadly stintea. When we witness the ever-recurring in- stances of man's inhumanity to man, when we sce in his pitiless quest of gain the }m—pcxmliou or almost (-\'cx'g cruelty to his ellow Deings, the belief all but forces itself upou us that the religion of humanity has long since passed with the masses into the idolatry of self. This idolatry we know obtained the world over before Christ came upon carth, It obtains teday wherever Christ is ignoved or rejected. It is fated al- ways to be the issue of every religion of hu- manity which is not founded on Christ and inspired by Christ’s beautitudes, @ Omaha, doubtless, mourns her share of this wretched and cruel idgolatry. That this blight, however, is neither ~universal mor widespread we need no better assurance than the happy event in which we are particip ing. We are here today at the instance not of an idolatry which immolates fellow beings 10 the idols of wealth and pleasure, but of a religion—the true religion of humanity— which prompts the sacrifice of fortune and inspires the immolation of self on the altar of Christ’s beatitude, for the weal and wel- fare of Christ’s sufferng members, Hoere in this Creighton memorial and St. Joseph's bospital, Christ's true religion of humanity will make large atonements for the atrocities of & pagan idolatry of self. “I'need not delay tospeak & panegyricof the lady and her husband whode names henceforth will be associated with this tem- ple of humanmty. Betjer, far better than in words of mine will their eulogy be told in the silent tears of gratitude, in thé holy prayers of thankfulness and blessing which in after years the victims of sickness and disease will offer here to their memorcy., Why should I linger to pay them the poor, passing tributo of human praise, which I know they do not covet when they possess in this memorial the sweeter and thrice dearer assurance of His blessing and recompence whose beatitude it was that inspired them in this noble undertaking! Nor need I tarry to eulogize that band of heroic women on whose devotion and sacri- fice we rely for the happy and successful issue of the good work so auspiciously inaug- urated. Their deeds are known to you, and the beauty of their lives you have had ocea- sion to witness, Theirs is a spirit which brooks not human praise, which prevails in spite of human recognition and which at- tempts arduous enterprises only to succeed and trinmwph. In their hands Creighton Me- morial is in safe ku\'rlnk, and in their sweet and true religion of humanity St. Joseph hospital, we aro confident, will grow and flourish. If Twere to dotain you longer it would be to speak & word personally to you who are here, and through you, to every Christian and every sincere friend of humanity in Omaha. It would be to venture the thought that the glory of this institution ought not 1o be left to the Creightous alone, or to the Franciscan Sisterbood alone. Every human- ity-loving resident of Omaha this institution has & right to claim & & patron and & friend, These walls are reared to shelter the victims of misfortune, which recognizes no distiue- tion of sunuu. The wercy and charity that will be dispensed here will “be the mercy aud charity of Him who came to save all, who died (0 receem all and who promised His beatitude to the mereiful unqualified or un limited by accident of race or ciass or creed. “While it appeals for support it is true, in & special manuer to the Catholics of Omaba, it foregoes not its valia and Just claim on Christians of other denominations who must recognize in it the spirit of Christ whom they profess to worship. It appeals also to those who know not, or retend to know not, God or His Christ, ut who profess & veligion that be- gets sacrifice and throws the mantle of charity and mercy and pity over the dis- tressed and afflicted, “In behalf, therefore, of our common hu- manity; in_behalf of the human suffering to the relief of which this memorial is erected; in the name of the Christly spirit which originated it, ana the divine sacrifice which will sustain and perfect it, I call on all lovers and friends of humanity to give their aid to the wood cause.” ‘“I'ne burden of an institution which re- flects honor upon our city, ought not to be left_unrelieved on the shoulders of a few even though they were willing to assume it. No citizen of Omaha who is concerned for his city's honor, who is flmud of his city's growth, who is jealous of his city’s Christian and humane repute, can refuse his substan- tial and ‘amctiml support to an institution by which all these interests are subserved.” Governor John M. Thayer being introduced with a few appropriate words spoke substan- tally as follows : *“Fellow citizens: -1am taken by surprise in befug asked to say anything on this ooca- sion and I only appear now to acknowledge the most friendly call of the bishop. 1 was denied the pleasure of being here at the com- meucement of your exercises, having an en- gogoment st another plaze to attend a meet- ng called for the Kur e of making an ap- peal in behalf of the destitute people in the western part of this state. After speaking there the mayor and myself hurried here to show our appreciation of this most interest- ing occasion and to show by our presence that we feel a deep interest in the institution the corner stone of which has just been laid. “I congratulate the city of Omaha upon the erection of a building here which will indeed prove to be a home for the poor and unfor- funate and afflicted. Ihave in in vears past learned and appreciated the benefits of St. Joseph's hospital. I have felt that we all bad reason to thank God that he put it into the hearts of these good women and others in charge for establishing and building up that great stitution, “It required a new edifice and through the munificence of the noble Creighton family this institution has been inagurated. In the future all who may be afilicted will find an m_:lum here whether thev are able to pay or not. 1 desire to publicly pay this tribute to the noble women and men who have aided in maintaining St. Joseph's hospital in the past, and Ibid them God speed -in their work of humanity and of mercy. Their ambition is a noble one—to lessen thesuffering and increase the happiness of their fellow-beiugs, doing What our Savior commanded bis followers to do. I was not at all prepared to address you, but in the interests of humanity I was will- ing to bear public testimony to the blessing which this institution has proved to be in the past and the still greater blessings which it will confer in the future, not _only upon the city of Omaha, but also upon the surrounding country.” My physician said I could not live, my liver out of order, frequently vomited green- 1sh mucous, skin_ yellow, small dry humors on face, stomach would not _ retain food.

Davip Cizy, Neb., Nov. 22.—To the Editor of Tue Bee: Recent cablegrams from Eng- land, announcing that representatives from the leading silk plush firm of Lister & Co., Bradford, had sailed for New York with the object in view to look up a site for building mills to manufacture their line of goods in the United States, recalls to my mind a visit of a few weeks to Bradford during July last and the conversations I had with' leading manufacturers in that vicinity. Leeds, Bradford, Halifax, Manchester and Sheftield are located in the very center of the distriet of manufactories in England, and al- most connected with smaller manufacturing towns and settlements. It was quite in keeping with the vast industrial interests of this district that the McKinley bill should produco a state of feverish excitement and great anxiety, because the main markets for their manufdctured products are in the United States. 1t was expected that these men should ex- press great hostility towards measures that threatened to paralyze their business in which their millions ‘were invested, but on uietly reasoning with these men I found them o take a practical view of the matter und talk very seusibly in a business way after ventilating their free trade opinions quite freely at first. The manufacturers dif- for greatly from the notions Americans gen- erally form from the c‘xlll‘l)sulnns of English politicians and free trade agitators. An English manufacturer is somewhat similar to the !y’plual western man of America; creator of his own fortune and gen- erally springing from an humble origin, but with industry, encrgy, push and enterprise they have all achicved remarkable suceess and gained wealth, They are more practical in their ways of thinking than theo- retical, and would assimilate quite readily with western ideas and the progressive con- ditions. T'o solve the new problem confront- ing them in the McKinley bill many have ar- rived at the sensible conclusion that the best way out of the entire dificulty is to_locate their factories in the United States. I never lost an opportunity to direct their attention to Omaha as a most suitable place to locate. Being near the center of the continent, with railroad lines radiating to all parts of the compass, and main through lines at that, and bidding fair to be a great center of population in thencar future. All these matters they took into serious consideration, but they are similar to all other men and will try to make the most of their opportunities, and will be pleased to considcr inducements offered by the different localities, It wlll be well for Omaha business men and property owners to be wide awake and secuve some of the very first to locate at Omaha, The moral effect of having the first factories located at Omah: on the others remuining abroad will be very great and bear good fruit in drawing them also to this same center when their time comes to move. Representatives of Omaha should be placed at once in active communi- cation for these enterprises with the repre- sentatives of Lister & Co., as well as other leading firms throughout the manufacturing districts, The Manningham mills employ about a thousand hands alone, and there are many other establishments at and around Bradford nearly as important. My interest” in Omaha’s prosperity and welfure alone prompts me to call attention to these important matters. Any aid in my power I can give will be most cheerfully ren- dered, Whateveris done must be done with- out delay in this direction.

Btudy of the Qualities That Oonstitute Good Salesmen and Oollectors, WHY THEY SELDOM GO HAND-IN-HAND., Eatente That Piracy on the Drammer 1s Legitimate Because * The House Pays for It"—Carry- ing Diamond Samples. e When the merits of salesmen are being dis- cussed, how froquently we hear tho criticism, *‘Gieorge is a good salesman, but a miserable collector."” 1t is a fact that the man who has the qualities to make friends of merchants and sell them the g0ods is seldom a passably good collector. This is because, says the Columbus_Journal, it requires & complete metamorphose of the individual to enable him to suceeed in the two capacities, © Man has two potent factors in his mental anatomy. The first is styled attractive force, which is not only able to draw men to him, but to hold them in sympathy with his will. This is not an -glgm;h-c quality, but purely sym- pathetic. The other is ' known as the repellant force, which forbids familiarity and frequently friendships. This last quality 15 void of sympathy and |3 ‘the forceful ele- ment in a good collector; but the exhibition of it in attempting to sell goods would be fatal to the enterprise. Another reason why a good salesman is a poor collector s that by frequently associating with his customers he is very apt to get to looking at matters from their standpoint, and the oftener he sces his trade the less likely he is to notice any signs of disintegration in or about_tho premises, which, to & less frequent and unprejudiced observer, would be apparent the mowent he entered the door, Perhaps the stock has been running down, but it has been so gradual as to have escaped the notice of tho semi-monthly visitor, yet to one who had not seen the stock for' perhaps six mouths it would be in such shape as at least to arouse a spirit of inquiry, if not apprehension. The financial wan writes; Thompson requests me to hold our draft for bill due on the 10th, and asthisis the third request of this nature within the past six months, we would ask that you would look him up very carefully when there next.” How natural'it is for a salesman to edge around John with, “How are your collections nowadays, John{" and accépt any explanation made ‘as a good and sufficient reason why the house should ex- tend his time and help John through the tight places. “The small dealers may not be aware of the fact that the friend who stands between him and the rageed edge is almost invariably the salesman, _The standing he has ia the trade, the credit he enjoys, and the favors he re- ceives in the way of little extensions, en- abling him to do business on a limited capital with comparative comfort, are in most cases the fruits of a personal appeal on the part of the salesman made to his firm in bebalf of his customer. A small merchant with a limited capital wants to be the stead- fast friend of the salesman who visits hi forif he gets hard up that salesman will stand petween him and his firm, often to his own serious disadvantage. While the pros pective loss stares him in the face, he stands as between the living and the dead: when the prospective has crystallized into the actual he is ‘‘between the devil and the deep blue sea.” “John The House Pays for it. We had finished our lunch of eggs, biscuit, cold chicken and coffee at the lunch stand, says a writer in an eastern paper, aud asked th man across tho countor how much. we owed the establishment, and he answered by askinga question himsclf, and that was, “Are you a railroad man?’ said no, when he meekly replied, * i Now, suppose we waere railroad men, how much would this same food have cost us! After glancing over the empty plates he re- jlied 40 cents. The same day we were in a arber shop getting shaved and were handed a 15-cent check, when a man living in the same city and shaved'at the same chair only paid 10 cents. It was the writer's privilege to overbear a convepsation between two liverymen who had beon consulted by a travéling man that day about taking him eight miles, when oue said, “*Charge him $3.50, for he's a traveling man and his it.” The man who wanted to ive was posted aud another more enterprising and less mercenary man took him for #2. Now in this: connection we want are the traveling men discrimin- ated against at_every point? Why do hotels charge him from 2 to 50 per cent more than they do other people who eat as much or more! Have the hotels, bus men, restaurant men, livery men, barbers and the public gen- erally combined to rob the traveling sales- men and charge them more for the samo ac- commodations than they do othert—and then ease their consciences, if they have any, with the statement that his house is rich and pays the bills? If so, it is unfair, mean and unjust, and deserves the condemnation of all fair- minded people. If these same pirates who stand with one hand on the traveling man's throat and the other in his pocket, would only stop o think and be fair, they would see that in- stead of taking it from his ‘‘rich house” they aro taking it from the poor salesman, they might be more lenient. We say they might be more lenient, Kvery salesman,no matter what his line, has his salary based on the goods he sells and the cost it is to sell them. Tobacco mavufacturers count cost per pound, soap men cost per box, iron men cost per ton, starch men cost per pound, and many otners on the net profit of the sulésman’s labors, If, for instance, a salesman had passes over every railway, for board at every hotel, and 1o expense account at all he would be a desirable man for any house, and they would pay him a larger salary than otherwise, be- cause he would Cost them mothing to travel. So, on the same principle, his house figures expenses salary and net profit, and if his profits ore light at the end of the ycar he gets no increase of salary, if indeed ke retains his position. And you who havecharged him in excess of others on the supposition that his house pays for it are the cause of his discharge. As & class weare willing topay for what we eet, but want what we pay for. We want no farmer’s rates at hotels, no theatrical rates on bag- gage, no passes on railways, but we want Just the same as others pay for like accommo- dation, and it's only fair we should have it. Every man has his hand in the traveling man’s pocket and ke gets no favors or special rates from anybody. His customer expects a dinner, theatre or good cigar, “because the house ‘pays for ity the waiter an quarter, “*because the house pays for it to go along pleasantly with his frienas and trade there are a hundred little expenses in- curred, and the house don't and won't pay for it. We'can't cut down expenses if trade is dull, as railways, hotels and our houses do, for on we must go, hunting, begging, scheming for business, and at the final ‘“‘round-up” our employers tell us our expeuses are too great for the condition of trade and are laid off to further retrench their expenses, We make the statement here, and we can almost substantiate it by dozens of men, that there is not one man in #fty who does not use a part of his salary for expenses of his house; and this is partly at least due to the tact that, as we before stated. every man wants a whack at the money he thinks belongs to the house, when it really belongs tothe sales- man. ' Place us on an equal footing with other of your patrons and share us the chilly, cheerless look of our employers at the end of the year, Carrying Diafiidhd Samples. “Do I carry any great sum of money in dia- monds with me on (trips turough the country! Do you call ${00,000 any great sum? Well, I have frequently carried that amount inside my vest in_loose diamonds,” said a salesman of oue of the largest wholesale dia- mond houses in the country to a reporter, ““Tell you how I carry such valuable stones/( Well, I don't know as it makes any particu- lar difference, although it is a subject about which few diamond men like to talk, “I have been in the business now over fif- teen years,’’ continued the salesman, scttling himself comfortably in a big arm-chair, lighting & cigar and sending graceful clouds of smoke curling towards the ceiling, *I dou’t think its & very bard life, as living goes, though somewhat of @ dangerous one, @s you are kuown to many ‘crooks and” frequently run the risk of @ desperate attack, through the mis- taken notion that you go about the city at night with diamounds on your person. I have had several little scrimmages, but have al- ways manuged to save my diamonds, ‘'‘Now, in telling you how I carry loose dia- monds I am speakl only of unset stones.

For $1.00 > husband, my marriage is a great mistake, for I am brought in close contact with people with whom I have no thought in common, and who make me wretchedly unhappy.’ old proverb says: ‘For the want of company, welcome trumpery.’ The girl who accepts Ned because no one else has asked her, and she does not want to be the only old maid in her set, turns her marriage into a make- shift. She is conscious at times that she descrves a better fate, but her friends have teased her A homely NSNS So writes HrLen Jay in the NOVEMBER Ladies Home fournal. (Full Half a Million Copies Printed.)

Yot awake tofind a revolver against your head and a gloved hand over your mouth. A con- federate goes through the trunks, as such thieves nearly always work in pairs, and be- fore you can extricate yourself from the well tied cords and gag after the thloves have gone_they have too much the start to be caught. “When I first began on the road I used to carry the stones in a chumois belt lined with silk around my waist next to the skin, This was not only uncomfortable, but troublesome 10 get at when I arrived at a hotel and wished to deposit the stones ina safe. tailor always lines my vests afte: 9 fashion of his own,” continued he, opening his vest and showiug four large pockets at- tached to the lining of the frout of the vest. **You see the lining is of very strong material and sewed to the first lining of the vest with the bestof thread. The four pockets are simply the two usual pockets with double seam in the middle dividing them. Of course they ave made somewhat larger so that the pocketbooks holding the diamonds will ex- actly fit them. The pocketbooks are hooked with a spring to a_closely-woven, finely-tem- pered stecl chain that is attached to a light Lub strong belt around the waist, Even if & pickpocket succeeded in getting hold of one of the books he could not go off with it on ac- count of the chain, Some men have pockets put in the inside of the front waistband of their trousers, but I prefer these in my vest. The whole secret is to get the books as near the person as possible, so you can feel them all the time. “Now for the pocketbooks that hold the pers of diamonds, Here is one. You see fhtwo pieces of close grained, rather stiff leather, joined by a more pliable piece of leather, 50 as to admit of doubling one over the other. These two thin strips of steel across the back, as we will call them, are finished in the front of the book with two holes to admit of the hook on the steel chain catching through them and so holding them stroug and safe. The inside is of Russian leather, twice as long as the back of the book, 0 as to double over the papers of diamonds. Each side of the pocketbook will usually hold four papers, but 1 have mine made so that they will hold six, as I frequent- 1y have extra large quantities'to take with me. “Now, last but not least,” sald the sales- man, opening one of the papers of diamonds by unfolding it twice, opening the ends, and then lifting the last fold off of the third fold, on which rested the diamonds, in much the same way us a druggist folds papers for pre- scription powders, with the ex- ception of turning the ends in before taking the second fold, ‘‘this outside r is, as you see, of the very best qualt, of linen paper, but fot too stiff, and an eight of an inch larger than the inside sheet of tis- sue paper that holds the diamonds. “The regulation size for the outside sheet is 8x10 inches, which when folded up makes a package two and one-half inches long and one and one-half inches wide. As I place the pers in the box a rubber band holds each Pdivadua paper inits place, and # second and stronger band holds the two flap euds of the inner book over the papers. “Pretty dangerous!
