The Diamonds of the Dead . By Louis Frederic Sauvags

"A quadruple row of pearls of Ines- , tlmable value, twenty diamonds, em erslds and rubles, a diadem, bracelets and a quantity of other Jewelry, all the treasures of the Golconda in a place where we may get them as easy as I can scratch my head. Do you un derstand William t Shall both be wealthy without shedding a drop of bloodr Perkins, otherwise the most phlgmatle of men, grew enthusiastic. "And what are we to dor I asked. "Jump a cemetery wall, break into chapel, and open a tomb." He lowered his voice. I made, a sign to him to say no more. I under stood. Some noble lady had "died and bad been burled wearing all her Jew elry. Two resolute men to visit her. The rest was child's plsy. "And who was this original, 1 I may uki He looited at me sharply. I was then destined to always be discreet. A gentleman may steal without troub ling his head about the name of the victim. The waitress of the miserable den where we were sitting kept nosing about as If eager to catch our words. Perkins threw half a crown to her. He always had the manners of a grand ' seigneur. His haughty air and silk hat lent him a certain dignity. To .hare fallen so deep! We had met In one of the dirty saloons of the quarter and sine then had been working to gether. Mostly burglaries, occasion ally murder. But I knew nothing about his past life, as he knew nothing about mine. "We must act quickly," Perkins whispered. This was Just my notion, and we set the Job for the same night. Like all other modern cemeteries this one was situated outside the city. The over seer was asleep In his cottage when we arrived, and we gave his watchdog no chance to get at us. It had hardly got hold of the piece of meat we threw to it, when it was caught In a lasso and Ued so that It could not move and scarcely breath. I had a little experience In this kind of work so I easily opened the door of the chap el. There was a winding staircase leading to the vault behind the altar, and we descended this. Perkins showed the way with an electric pocket lamp. I started to open the lid. The thing was easy and I wished X might always find my wurft mm ioivuui uuj ftiuig uio uoau. I was about to finish when I noticed the light was flickering. I lookad at my pal and Immediately saw he was la trouble. His face was ghastly pale, and his blue and he seemed about to faint. "What Is the matter with your I asked. He only shook his head. He tried la vala to light down his emotion. His trembling hands betrayed his teror. A nervous burglar. What a nuisance. I lifted oft the lid -carefully and a peculiar smell filled the air of the vault. The. embalmers had done their work well. The dead woman was resting In a satin bed. grave, majestic and strangely beautiful, and surely Perkins had mads no mistake. She wore more gems than heathen idol or Catholic statue of a saint I have ever seen pearls, diamonds, rubles and mmlda and I was about to be sin to pick them when aa arm touched my sleeve. - . "Leava those jewels alone," said Perkins. His fingers dug Into my arm and his face was now quite greensh with terror. "It is Lady Duncan." he whispered. "Ton must not touch her!" What did I care for Lady Duncan? . And was it not himself who told me a burglar must not bother with the names of his victims? He Insisted, however, and tried to tell me why. Lady Duncan had been the most beautiful girl 'in the kingdom, and at a time when he was still rich and had an income of many thousands a year he had loved her with all his heart The great fortune had slipped away between his flngres. and though she had flirted and made him miserable for years she shook him entirely when he was ony a poor devil and had married an old lord. "I thought I hated her." he said, "and that I would get revenge on her dead body for what she had made me suffer, and begin life anew with the money her Jewelry would bring, but I see now I cannot do It At the sight of her face my hatred disappears, my courage leavea me and my knees tremble." Suddenly he pressed the button of his lamp and the vault was flooded with light "What are you doing?" he asked. . ' , rilLC TV Asthna Sufferers A Ww BM Cat That AaytM Cm In WttkMt Dtecter f Tint.

He suspected me of swiping the Jewels in the darkness. "You are a fool," I said, "and I have come here to go away empty handed." "Listen." he said In a voice trembling with emotion, "all these Jewels are mine. I have paid for every stone In suffering and tears.- I can do with

them as I please. Leave this vault I give you my word I shall touch noth ing." But I only laughed at him. The Idea of leaving him alone with all these treasures was too ridiculous, brushed him aside. "Do go," he pleaded. I leaned over the coffin. The lamp went out and I felt a strong hsnd take hold of my neck. His fingers were feeling for my throat. I turned and went for him. He struck at me and I hit back. In a moment we were fighting like madmen. "Help." shouted Perkins. A gleam from the lamp -and I saw him go down. A dark body hurled it self at him. Had the dead risen from her coffin? Terror-stricken I ran up the stairs, rushed across the cemetery and Just as I reached the top of the wall I saw the big dog rushing out of the chapel trailing the lasso behind him. The next dsy I saw In the papers that savage beast had literally torn Perkins to pieces. ..-!' 1 v. FORGETS ITS DEAD." li Labor Arraigned For Indifference to ' Its Fallen Heroes. In an address before the Minneapolis Trades assembly Thomas E. Lees rebuked labor for its Indifference to the memory of leaders who have fallen in the strife. What be ssld of Minneapolis applies with equal force to nearly every city In the land. We quote from Mr. Lees: "What is labor doing to perpetuate the names and good deeds of Its dead? This question 1s prompted by 'the fact that within the last few weeks four men of more then ordinary prominence In labor circles in Minneapolis in the last two decades passed to the beyond, three of them with hardly any notice beyond their own Immediate unions. "While the nation has its Hall of Fame and while most of the secret military and church societies and many other organizations strive to keep before the living the names of those who la their lifetime did something for others, we hesr little from labor in the way of bringing forth its martyrs of the past of whom there are doubtless many. There is seemingly no good reason why organized Jabor should not hare some way to make the works and deeds of Its many good mea known and to see also that their good works live long after they have gone. "Conditions in Minneapolis are not different from what they are In dozens of other cities in the United States. The heroes of labor's battles are falling every day. Men who hare given their best efforts and many years of nara wore to maae tne Duraens or tne working people lighter and secure for the toilers conditions more in keeping with the demands of the times, men who have sacrificed much in the interest of the masses, men who never fal tered whea the battle cry was sounded, which meant that they must give up their positions to fight for labor's rights, are passing away, and no note la taken of their departure. "This is not as it should be. Why does not labor take steps to make per petual la labor history, local, state and national, the names of her true and loyal supporters? Shall we go oa at we are doing with the passing remark. as a famous poet says, that "When we are dead the world will xnovt As U we bad not come and gone." Gompers on Labor Abroad. 'As an outcome of Samuel Gompers' trip abroad last summer in the Interests of the American Federation of Labor we have the book "Labor in Europe and America" (Harper's), made up of letters from England, Holland. Belgium, Germany, Switzerland and Italy. Most of these writings were printed serially In various newspapers. As they appear revised, collected and with additions they form a volume of most interesting and pertinent observa tions and comparisons. Mr. Gompers returned to this country an American very much confirmed. But while finding that "there is no paradise la Europe yet for the toilersfar from if he Is able to report a very (distinct advance in labor conditions over there. Trade unionism and co-operation have accomplished much, "not only In Germany, but throughout Europe." Municipal improvement in the Germau cities, with its public "cleaning up" and practical abolition of slums, hss done wonders for wageworkers there. Besides his letters from shore Mr. Gompers includes In his book "The Underworld of an Ocean Steamer," telling of the terrible toll of the stokera Engineers Favor Harmony. At the recent convention of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers held in Detroit a committee was appointed to establish closer relations with the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen. These two organisations have had differences for some time, and the action of the engineers will be the first step toward establishing a more harmonious feeling. . Hew to Unionise aJebaJV.

Special Stamp for Franking

Purposes is BY RODERICK CLIFFORD. Washington, Aug. 6. The fact that the Democratic and Republican Congressional committees are trying to outdo each other in the matter of sending out campaign documents and speeches under frank, have given rise to a story that Congress be asked to provide a special stamp for franking purposes. The use of a special stamp, such as the trustees of the postal savings bank have adopted In order to keep their record of cost of the mail relating to the postal banks, would enable the postmaster general to Inform congress Just how much thme privi lege of franking official letters actually costs Uncle Sam. It has not been many years since senators and mem bers paid postage on letters written to constituents and others who asked for information. The postage bill of some of the na tional lawmakers, it is asserted, often amounted to more than one hundred dollars a month each. This drain on the Congressional Income was cut off by the passage of a bill allowing mem bers of Congress to frank all letters written on official business. Official business was construed to mean a letter from any one asking informa tion about matters before Congress, or the departments, direct or remote. As may well be Imagined, the Con gressional mail since the adoption of the personal franking privilege, has steadily increased. A special stamp In. stead of the printed inscription, "official business," would enable the Postofflce eDpartment to tell at a gnce Just about how many thousands of dollars it costs the government to carry the Congressional mall, it s believed the effect of such legislation would check the well known abuse of the franking privilege, and, in the end, act as an economy lever. It is said that this is only one of the reforms the Postofflce Department has in view. It has not been many years since the Chautauqua circuit opened a new field to the lecturer. At the begin ning, there were many to predict failure, but the enthusiasts behind the movement never lost courage, and to day the best speakers and lecturers In the country are to be heard at the Chautauqua circuit Some of the most prominent members of the House and Senate are great drawing cards, and much of their spare time is tak en up on the circuit Among the best known of the national lawmakers who have made reputations that bring in good Incomes are Congressman Champ Clark, of Missouri and Hobson, of Alabama, and Senators Dolliver and Cummings, of Iowa, and LaFollette, of Wisconsin. A little while ago. Congressman Clark, minority leader in the House when asked to tell some of his experi ences on the lecture platform and his debates with' Chautauqua speakers said: "Newspaper wits make a good many flings at Chautauqua speakers, but nevertheless the Chautauqua Is a great educational Institution. It is a sort of Jlterary camp meeting. The Chautau qua is only one feature, but an im portant one. of the lecture business, which business, barring the Chautau qua feature, is a very old one. The Chautauqua Is comparatively now. Some of the most prominent public men America ever produced engaged la lecturing; among them being Ed ward W. Everett Charles Summer, Wendell Phillips. Schuyler Colfax, William J. Bryan. Richard. Hobsoi, Senators LaFollette, Dolliver. Tillman. Summlns, Brlstow. and othere. ColRobert G. Ingersoll was a famous lec turer.

ney. Nobody has to pay to hear a lecture unless he so desires, so th&4 flings fall harmless. "I am not going to lecture this fall, though I have a standing offer of a 22 lecture. I propose to devote the whole time In aiding to elect a Democratic House. "Sometimes the Chautauqut managers call for debates. I have debates frequently with Senator Dolliver and Congressman Grosvenor and Landis. I have also had occasional debates at Chautauqua with other si notably Col. William P. Hepburn and Senator J. Ralph Burton. "Dolliver was always a great orator. In late days he has also become a great debator. There s a vast difference between an orator and a debator. A man may be both, but he is lucky If he is either. Dolliver is both. When he and I debated, he was much more orator than debator. In his speech cf an hour and a quarter in our debate, there were two or three parts of it taking ten or fifteen minutes each for delivery, it to appear in book form. "General Grosvenor is a debator from away back. He is not an orator in any Bense of the word; but as a debator he is what Major Joe Bagstock describes himself to be. 'Sly. sir, devilishly sly; tough, sir. devilishly tough. With all due respect to everybody, the Republicans have found no man to fill his place as a roady, all around, always prepared, never-say-die debator. He and Col. Hepburn were the two most dangerous Republicans to go up against In the House, in my ftiy. Lower your guard, even a little too much, raise U even a little too high, and a knock-out blow was sure to folliw. "Taken all in all, Charlie Landis, was perhaps the most entertaining of the lot. He has a fine stage presence, is a good deal of a debator and much of an orator and a decided humorist. In facial contortions he reminds one of Tom Corwlne. He couldn't "hit as hard as Gen. Grosvenor; he coulnn't soar so high as Dolliver: but he always hit and always soared enough to entertain an audience. He has vast ly more humor than the General or the ly more humor than the General or tne Senator. He reminded me of Kid Mc Pnr AT.nnHllct fia vnuM era In Coy, the ex-pugilist he would get in and hit and duck and come out smiling. His blows were net so hard as General Grosvenor's but he hit more often. On points of legal sparring, he was a cracker jack. "Of course, I lectured alone more frequently than I debated. For one performance I would rather debate than lecture, but for every day business I'd prefer to lecture alone? It's easier. In lecturing alone one can take care of throat and body; but in debating all that is forgotten and over-exertion is apt to occur. "whether I will ever lecture again I do not know. That depends on circumstances. It's hard work, but pays well in clean money and has ' many pleasant features." A.!. Forgetful. lie was a prisoner brought up before his commanding officer for being two hours absent the night before. "What excuse have you for being absent?" thundered the captain. "Sure, sir," replied the offender, "I was visiting some of my friends in the country yesterday, and I left in plenty of time to return to the barracks, and when I was about halfway to the barracks I stopped to light my pipe, but the wind wss so strong that I had to turn round to light It and after many tries I succeeded and walked on only to find after an hour's walk that I was at the same place as I 'had started from.

Fugitives in Honduras Now Fear an Extradition Treaty

BY SIDNEY ESPEY. Washington, Aug. 6. Expatriated, absconding bankers and cashiers, high finance manipulators, "flim-flammers," ordinary crooks and criminals who are now residents of turbulent Hondurss, escaping there to evade infractions of the law and possible penitentiary sentences, in the United States are literally quaking in ' their boots because of the probability that an extradition treaty will be effected between this country and Honduras at the coming session of Congress. The great fear and anxiety that these crooks are experiencing is due to a clause in the treaty provision which makes the law retroactive. Should such a treaty be signed by the respective governments every offender who escaped from the United States to Honduras might be extradited. Recently the state department has been actively engaged in drawing up a comprehensive treaty. Experts have been carefully preparing the provisions, so that there will be no loopholes through which a crook might escape. Representatives have also been sent to Honduras to create a demand with the better classes for such a treaty between the two countries. Hitherto every effort that the United states has exerted in this direction has been defeated by the Honduran congress, owing, it is said to the enormous influence of the self-expatriated Americans, who dread to return to the United States. Since then however, a new administration has come into power under the leadership of President Davila, who is said to be favorably inclined towards closer relations with the United States. Recent advices from Honduras, however, have in a great measure upset the calculations of Secretary Knox and other officials of the state department The cause of the disturbance Is Manuel Bonllla, former president of Honduras and., a close ally and friend of former President Zelaya of Nicaragua who It Is said is behind the movement recently started to launch another revolution. Should he finally succeed In gaining the presidency of that country officials here believe It will be Impossible to induce the Honduran congress to ratify the treaty provisions. It is pointed out that the Americans there,' who would be hurt by the new treaty are aiding in every way to establish Bon ilia's claim to the presidency, some having even gone so far as to contribute large sums of money to aid the revolutionists. Through Bonilla's efforts the state department also claims to see the work of former President Zelaya's adherents, as it is known that he is making every effort to resume power in Nicaragua. Should be receive the support of Bonllla, the revolutionists in Nicaraguu would be crushed. President Davila, it is said, refused to extend any, aid to President Zelaya during his troubles in Nicaragua before the United States stepped in and ousted him, or during the campaign of his successor, Dr. Madriz. It is hoped here that President Davila will be able to crush the uprising that has been reported and end for a long while any effort exerted by either Zelaya. Boh ilia or any other usurper to gain control of Honduras. Should peace be restored in that country the state department believes the treaty will be ratified. , When that is accomplished extradi

tion papers ior every big crook now residing in that country will be immediately issued. The probability is, that some may escape when the news of the ratification of the treaty is reported, but every effort will be exerted to capture all of them Immediately. Lists of men wanted in the United state department, but they are regarded as confidential and will not be made public. . Through the American legation at Tegucigalpa a complete sys

tem ui ncvuraHB ivyoria are sent 10 the state department at intervals as to the whereabouts of men wanted for trial in the United Statets. Their utraiu ui urpai iuio iui vtuci vuuu tries is also reported Through this active system of es States might bring back to the states nearly every man who fled to Honduras to escape penitentiary terms it an extradition treaty is effected between the two countries. Owing to the recent explosion at Fortress Monroe, Va where eleven men were killed and a score or more Injured, army officers and more particulraly those of the coast artillery have decided that a thorough examination and test of all field pieces used in the army should be made. With this end in view, General Leonard Wood, chief of staff, will designate at some future date, possibly in the fall, a board of officers to make the examinations. These will . be on the most comprehensive scale and will Include not only the entire fortifications in th United States, but In the Phillipines, Hawaii, Porto Rico and other possessions. . Reports from officers of the - coast artillery service have shown that in some cases certain artillery has not been fired under high pressure for two years. The only tests that have been made of these guns which are usually located in remote works, it is said, have been tests when Bub-caliber practice has been engaged In. Every part of the gun is tested in a measure la this way, but actual conditions, such as in time of war are not used, consequently the conditions of the guns are not known. General Wood Is now working upon a scheme whereby tests will be conducted at each station by an Investigating board. The efficiency of certain troops, the strategic position of the defenses and other points material to an adequate defensive fortification will be inquired into bv the board. A report will be submitted to congress when ready, possibly in December of 1012, when it is said a liberal appropriation will be asked to continue fortification work on a more general and systematic scale throughout the entire Uriited States. 710 laln Sfc nicugoliTH
