He had the clerks, the proprietor, the bell boys, the maids, and in fact every one, going some.

The public advocacy by former Exchange Professor John W. Burgess of Columbia, who recently com pleted his term at Bonn university, ot an offensive and defensive alliance be tween Germany and the United States, finds strong support in political and general circles in this country. The ob vious advantages to Germany of such a compact are so tremendous that it is no wonder all Germans, from the kaiser down, eagerly welcome it It would break the fence which King Edward has built around the country, and revive all the emperor's ambitious dreams. An eminent publicist who often re flects the kaiser's views,, spoke enthus iastically on the subject to the North American correspondent today, although he expressed doubts about the Amer ican senate consenting to the alliance. He said: "The senate ought to consent to such a treaty, owing to the entirely different and muah closer relations existing to day between the United States and Europe, as compared with former times. Accordingly, America might now make the same proposal to Germany that she made In 1861 to Russia- Such an alli ance would be th beat Insurance for peace." Charming Musical.

Every time the- ordinary owner of a diamond looks at the stone he wonders why he paid so much for It. "Th rr.ent currency famine, which has passed, thank goodness, had no ma terial eirect in tne aiamunu uii.v that la. the Drlce remained the Bame, said a Portland diamond merchant last night. "Of course I hardly believe the people bought as many of the precious stones during tne iam n v. A 11..

Some people blame the dia mond trust for this. But wouldn t the men who control the diamond mines be fools to allow the price lut come to think of it. I don't know much about that question. That Is, to talk about "Rut T wim iriMklnr flhmit tha nrlca. To resume; even during the panic of 1893 there was not the slightest waver in the diamond market, the only change being a slight advance. The diamond Industry, during that time, was one of the few Industries in which the fail ures of the Importers or main handlers or tne commodity were msig-nuicani. both In number and amount. "When the holidays were declared several months ago better let us forget aout that and even at tne present time, merchants in other lines are cut ting prices, though stocks are being dumped on the market and sacrlncea ior cash. But there Is nothing like this In the diamond business, for which I am duly thankful. About the only cutting In the diamond business la when the stones are n the rough never after they reach the market. And so saying,- the diamond merchant went behind the counter to sell a large scintillating stone to a bashful young man.
