SHE SAW THE DIAMOND. Mrs. John Heltkam Causes the Arrest of a Carpenter. Henry Young, a carpenter, who claims the "city" as his home, was arrested last night by Merchant .Policeman Miller and taken to the police station. About a year ago Mrs. John Heltkam presented her husband, a saloon keeper at No. 230 East Wabash street, with a diamond stud valued at $75. Two months ago the stud was lost or stolen. There appeared to be no positive proof regarding its disappearance, .but Young, who was around there about the time, was suspected. Last night Mrs. Heltkam, while making purchases at the market, saw Young with a diamond stud on his shirt front. She watched him closely and called Millar. Young was taken to the saloon and Heltkam claimed the stone. Young would not give it up, so Miller took him to the police station. On the way Young attempted to loosen the stud and get rid of it. but watchfulness on Miller's part prevented. Young claimed to have purchased the diamond from a negro. He said he paid $3 for It.

"Cyclone" Johnson's appearance in Police Court yesterday morning, after being fined the day before on a similar charge, was a surprise to Judge Cox, who was on the bench. As he did not wish-to try the case. Judge Cox was arranging to have It continued, but before doing so tuggesteS to Johnson's attorney that he have a conference with Superintendent of Police Quigley. The. superintendent had a talk with Johnson. In which It was agreed that Johnson should hereafter preach the gospel, which he admitted not having done, in a triangular space at Fort Wayne avenue find Alabama street. Johnson told Quigley that he had not been doing right and had been influenced in his actions by the advice of irresponsible persons who had pretended to befriend him. but who permitted him to spend two nights In the police station. Quigley told J-jhnsyi that detectives would watch his meetlras and should he make any attacks upon amy one his meetings would again be stopped. Judge Cox thought that nine dogs kept in one place were sufficient to disturb tho quietude of the neighbors, and, therefore,; lined Frank Weisenborn, 1221 Bridge street, II and costs on a charge of harboring howling dogs. Conflicting testimony was introduced to the extent of the disturbance. The case was appealed. Frank Page, arrested Friday for shooting at Ilex Faulkner with intent to kill, was bound over to the grand Jury after a preliminary examination In Police Court. Faulkner cold that he saw a revolver in Page's hand when he stepped from the alley, and that Page merely said: "Now here. ," and Immediately fired. Page said that Faulkner made a movement toward his hip pocket, as if to draw a weapon. Tage's daughter corroborated this testimony, but further, admitted that her companion was retreating when her father shoL TIIU AMERICAN FATIIEIl. Is He the Pnthetle Object These Remarks AVoald Indicate f Philadelphia Times. This is the time of year when if you meet a man and ask. "How are the family?" he very likely replies. "Oh, they're off at the seashore, or , the mountains, or , the country. Volumes have been spoken and written of the self-sacrifice of the American mother; little Is said of the self-denial of the American father. And yet, during the summer month?, at least, trilogy might fittingly exert horself sufficiently to gather a few extra laurel leaves of eloquence to twine about tho paternal brow. As soon ns the hot weather comes the American father speeds the departure of wife and children to some desirable spot where they pass the summer while he remains at home. He cheerfully gets up in the morning, heats his shaving water on the g.ts stove, forages for his breakfast, makes his own bed, or goes without having it mad", feeds the cat. waters the plants and bundles up his laundry. When he goes away in the morning he locks up the house, and when he comes homo at evanlng he opns it. For week he moves amid the solitude and silence of a deserted houe with no more congenial companionship than the linen furniture covers, mosquito gauze and tar balls. When Saturday comes he locks his desk and rushes for tho train which conveys him to the salubrious retreat to rest for a day and two nights in the bosom of his family, and when Monday comes he gets up at 5 o'clock In the morning to catch the train that brings him back to work. Honor then to whom honor is due! And when th bouquets are Wing, distributed among the American mothers, let a few for-get-me-nots. at least, fall to the share of the American father.

July 13. Indianapolis could not hit Husting to-day and fielded atrociously, while the Brewers hit Foreman hard and backed up the college pitcher magnificently, Shoch and Barnes carrying off the fielding honors. Husting was wild and presented the Hoosiers with gifts (a total of seven) In five innings, which hits would have given the visitors the game In a dash, but at critical times Stewart, Hickey and Hogriever failed with the bat, and the Brewers walked off with a victory by a score of 7 to 4. Indianapolis did not score until the second Inning, when Shoch's muff and two plays helped McFarland home. In the third Kahoe hit for two bases. Hogriever walked and stole second and both scored on Hartzell's fly and a double by Motz. Hartzell opened the fifth with a double, a high fly which "Weaver could not see on account of the haze, and he came home on McFarland's single. Husting hit Allen, who retired in favor of Flynn, and Stewart walked, but Hickey struck out and Stewart was tagged at second. & Four errors in the first and third Innings helped the Brewers to four runs. Two hits gave them one In the fourth and two singles and a double in the eighth made their total seveja. Score: Milwaukee. A.B. R. II. O. A. B.

It Is reported now that the brewers of St. Louis are backing the baseball club In that city: that 1?, the baseball club In the propo!ed new league. Danny Friend, the left-handed pitcher, who rays he expects to be drafted by Pittsburg, has been shifted about In great shape this season, having been a member of the Chicago, Columbus. Kanas City and Milwaukee clubs before joining the Minneapolis team. Says the Buffalo Express: Pitcher Charlea Hastings, eecured from Kansas City, is quoted as saying that he will do his beat with Buffalo, in the hopes of being sold to a major league club at the end of the season. Hastings has played but few games thus far this season, rive In all. winning three and losing two, attributing the losses to the players behind him. The following Western League players have been sized up by. "Ted" Sullivan as fit

material for National League use nxt year, according to the St. Louis Post-Dl?patch: Waddell. Frisk, Cronln and Rettger, pitchers: Andrews. Geler, Waldron. Davl3 and Nance, fielders.

He Thinks, However, It Would Prove Disastrous for the Western, and Hopes It Will Fall. According to Ban Johnson, who has been talking in Chicago, the present year will be the last of the Western League's existence. He says a rival organization to the National League is sure to be in the field next year. He further announced that It would be but a short time until the plans of the new league would be made public. The paper securing the Interview claims to have learned from other sources that Cortiskey, Loftus, Manning and Mack have already been approached, and are likely to figure prominently In the new deal. Chicago la to have a place and .a Western League magnate is to be in control of .the club. Chicago, St. Louis, Milwaukee and Detroit are to compose the Western half of the league, while Pittsburg, Boston, New York and another not yet disclosed will form the Eastern half. Comlskey Is slated as the St. Louis manager, Mack Is to engineer the new Pittsburg team and the rest have not been placed. John T. Brush. Stanley and Frank Robteon and James Hart, of the Chicago club, have been in conference at Htrt's office, but told the newspaper persons that their talk was of anything but baseball. The dream is a beautiful one, but If it comes true, what is to become of Indianapolis? In an Interview at Dubuque last night Loftus admitted there was something In the foregoing scheme. He arraigned the National League, pronouncing Its policy narrow and arbitrary. An Associated Press dispatch received from Chicago last night said: Ban Johnson, president of the Western League, made tho following announcement to-night: "Tha Western League as a body has no idea of fostering a proposition to organize a rival to the National League and institute a fight against the present major organization. We are now operating . our clubs under - the national agreement. That is good enough for us. I can say all we ask Is that we be let alone and we will let others alone. It would be suicidal for. the Wt stern League to attempt to foster an organization on the lines of the old Brotherhood for the simple reason it could not possibly hope for success. What Individual members of the league lire doing I do not know nor can the league Itself be held responsible." The matter under discussion was the reort circulated yesterday regarding the aleged formation of a new league of baseball clubs to rival the National in every way, to go into the latter s field and to tight it as did the Brotherhood in 1SJ0. "What has been told me about such an organization has been of a purely confidential nature," Mr. Johnson continued. "I have been told many things about a new league, and I believe there is every chance one will be formed, but believe me when I say the Western League as a body hopes It will not. It would mean our death. With a new big league In the field, encroaching as it certainly would on the best part of our territory, we could not hope to live. "I cannot tell what circuit the new league Is likely to be. ' As a matter of fact, the whole thing, from what I have heard, is simply in the crudest kind of state. I do not believe the promoters of the scheme have any idea what is to be expected, but are simply beginning to agitate the matter In order to get a clearer idea." Captain Anson is certain an attempt will be made to organize a rival big league, and is equally confident It could be made to Srosper. He is likely, according to all that as been said in the last few days, to have some connection with the Chicago team of the new body, and will more than likely be it head. tilFE ON A IIOUSCBOAT. How the Institution I Conducted on the Thames. New York Commercial Advertiser. "Why don't you have houseboats In this country?" asked the broad-shouldered, rosyfaced man, who looks daggers at strangers, but is usually all smiles when with people he knows. "I've been all over, this summer, from that awful place you call Asbury Park to heaven on earth in the Adirondack, woods, and I've seen but one houseboat. A miserable affair It was, too, and tied up to a mooring. No ohe lived on It, and there wasn't a flower or a canary bird or a pretty frock on board to remind one that the old tub belonged to the same family as the floating gardens that adorn the Thames In summer." The natives of "this, benighted country" looked properly meek and the stranger in a strange land continued: "It isn't all delight, you know, on a houseboat. The houseboat hostess is always a heroine, often a martyr. She has to keep up her reputation for hospitality in the face of difficulties that would make a woman on land quail. Such things have been known as for the kitchen to sink' beneath the weight of responsibility incurred by culinary operations. A poor hostess, with thirty hungry guests on hand, seeing the tendT wherein is contained her kitchen and laider slowly sinking before her eyes is a pitiable sight. Of course, such ghastly incidents as this are not common, but Henley week, with its crowd and its festivities, is usually darkened by such episodes. "Henley week Is at once the triumph and despair of the houeboat hostess. She has her opportunity to show her taste and originality in floral decorations, illumination and amusements. On the other hand, she is expected to entertain all her dear friends from town, and, of course, the bright, pleasant people pay flving visits and the bores stick like burrs. Then the guests who have acquaintances on other houseboats go around in small boats paying calls, and from the hostess's point of view this has disadvantages. On the pretext of rowing over to the Blanks' boat the brightest girls and the most amusing men pair off in punts and canoes and leave the hostes; guarding her ship like Casablanca, and noz much more happy than was that valiant youth. I shall never forget the dismay of a pretty young woman who had a houseboat last year and with whom I spent several days of regatta week. She had decorated her boat with ivy. pink geranium and white marguerites, and the young women who were supposed to help her hold carnival wore costumes of pink and white and green straw hats trimmed with pink roses. The poor hostess complained that after luncheon her pink and white girl, with attendant swains, left her pink and white boat for another boat decorated in colors that didn't match their clothes at all. When they had gone some stupid people in browns and blues came to call and stayed to tea. Her crew came back by twos and twos late In the afternoon to prepare for the illumination of the pink and green boat and the trip up the course to see the Illumination of other boats. ' The life of a houseboat hostess is no: a peaceful, restful existence if she entertains much. But the life of a guest on board a weil-managed houseboat is a thing of Joy. .That's why I wonder you don't have more houseboats in this country. Now, why don't you?"

The chief feature was a twenty-five-mile paced race between Harry Elkes, of Glens Falls, Burns Pierce, of Boston, and Earl Stevens, of Buffalo. The racers were paced by motorcycles, and from the crack of the pistol Elkes looked like a winner. He was the first to catch his machine and he settled down to work with a will. In the fifth mile Pierce looked dangerous and led for a while, but Elkes drew away again and from the seventh mile to the finish It was a procession.

"For the past two and a half years I hava lived in New Zealand," said Mr. E. Monier Watson, a bright and pleasant-spoken Englishman who has barely attained his majority, to a Post reporter at the Arlington. "I went out there to study farming at one of the best agricultural schools extant where the students do actual farm labor and learn the business practically. An uncle of mine is largely interested in land.' and his residence was. of courre, an additional reason for my presence in the country. Wheat is the chief product of New Zealand, but I think that sheen raising is the most profitable industry. We speak of farm? ai 'stations' in New Zealand and Australia, and we also use the word station where you speak of a ranch In the United 8tates. I don't know that I was sufficiently fascinated with life in the colony to ever locate there permanently, and from what little I've) seen of this country I imagine I'd much prefer to reside here, where there is so much more evidence of progress and restless activity. "New Zealand, however, is not be looked down upon. It has a delightful and very healthful climate, neither very hot in summer nor cold In winter. Snow never visits us. The soil Is extremely fertile, and will produce as big crops as perhaps your finest American farming lands. There are four, good-sized towns Auckland, Wellington, Christ Church and Dunedln but no largi city. Auckland hasn't over W.toQ people, anl the others about 23,0)0 each. "In Australia the tendency of the population is to center In big cities, as In America, but In New Zealand the people have spread out over the country until it la fairly well settled. The inhabitants are nearly all English, but there Is a per cent, of the native stock, the Maoris, who are the fcetd In posed and most intelligent black people I have ever seen. They are a splendidlooking race, the men being over six feet high, as a rule, and very strong, and some of the women could be justly called beautiful. The national vice of the country Is intemperance, there being a great deal of drunkenness, but strong efforts are being made to adopt laws prohibiting the sale of arl nt spirits. "The most interesting fact, perhaps, to an American about New Zealand Is that it presents a practical illustration of state socialism. We have gone further In this line than any one of the English colonies. For instance, all the railway and telegraph lines are owned by the government, and I must say that the railroads are the worst in the world, at least, I have never seen their Inferiors. Then the state pensions the aged. When a man gets to be sixty years of age he gets an annuity from the cute for the rest of his life. The practical effect of this is bad. for it removes from men the Incentive to be provident; knowing the government will supply their wants, there Is no need for extra exertion. Another instance of socialism is the law under which the government can condemn large landed estates and cut them up into small holdings, to be leased at a low figure to poor people. Private ownership up to 5.00J acres Is allowed, but in excess-of this amount the government may, in its discretion, divide, as I have stated, for the benefit of the landless. Whether this is a good thing or not is an open question, but it has not yet been the means of bringing universal prosperity. "No doubt your readers are aware that the women vote in New Zealand on all questions that the men vote upon. Woman suffrage is such an old thing over there that It is accepted as one of our institutions, but I've never yet seen where ffjnsle suffrage has been of any practical Value. As a rule the women vote pretty much the same way as their husbands, fathers or brothers do, and so the genera) result is in no wise altered through their uso of the ballot." The Thirsty Boy. Boston Transcript. It Is a never-ending wonder how the small boy can contain all the water he puts Into him upon a hot day in summer. He was never known to n;i.s near the Indoors water cooler without levying upon its ccntents unless he knew from previous experience that it was drained dry: and now that we have ice water In the public fountains, the small boy finds a new relish In running out on errands, and is more than ever careless as to how much time he tponds upon them. It is interesting to obs-rv? the different manners and methods of different persons, young and old. who tap the public aprlns; it Is laushable to see one after another, way up in the scores and hundreds, sip from as near as txvssible to the handle under the curious ueluhlon that nobody else ever thought of drinking from that part of the dipper's rim. and it 1 especially instructive to study the small boy In his favorite role of Aquarius, 1r. How foituu&ta it la that the sea is salt! Were ft rweet water and nice and cold, the mU boy might get away with It on a single iranitner Cay.
