A DIAMOND IN A DUCK.
A pair of hard working Eas
Side young women are rejoicing
tosdavover the realization of a
substantial profit yesterday
morning, on an extremly lucky
purchase which they made more
than a week ago. They purchased
a duck and diamond at that time
tor the moderate outlay of 55
cents. They ate the duck, and
seem to think they got the worth
of their monev then. But fate
had better thines in stoie for
them, and yesterday an acquain
tance paid them $85 for the dias
mond.
The lucky young women are
Misses Bertha and Josephine
Krauss, of 130 Avenue F. They
earn their living by working
nine or ten hours a day, as mill
iners, and live in a little room
up winding stairs. It was here
that a reporter of the New York
Times round them yesterday
afternoon, doing some extra work
in hat trimming to augment their
incomes.
Bertha explained that she
went to a Ridge street butcher's
shop a week ago last Thursday
to get a duck for Saturday's din
ner. "You see," she added, "I'm
a Jew, and I like to eat a little
dark meat on the Sabbath." The
duck was a p-ood specimen of
J A.
his kind, but bore no external
marks to iudicate that he had
ever dined on more expensive
diet than wet meal or bullfrogs.
When Josephine came to cut him
open, however, his gizzard dis
closed a sparkling yeilow bit of
stone, which did not look like
anything she had ever found in
the digestive apparatus of pre
ceding fowls. She called her
sister, and they examined the
find, without deciding whether
it was a genuine diamond or
not.
They ate the duck while still
in doubt. The stone was pres
erved, and before long the girls
took it to their place of work,
and their companions held
small levee over it The result
was, as Bertha expressed it
"Some say it was a diamond, and
some say it ain't." Mr. Hart, the
foreman, said that it was, how
ever, ana congratulated tne
young women on their luck.
The stone was accordingly
taken to a peddler of jewelry
named Stern, who informed its
owners that it was a genuine
diamond, and worth 8$. He
naa tne courage or 11 is convic
tions, evidently, for he purch
ased the stoue at the price he
haa named. And Bertha and Jos
ephine made off in great joy
The diamond weighs about three
carats, and is of inferior water,

Development of the South.
RESOURCES OF THAT SECTION
ARE BEING MORE THOROUGH
LY PLACED BEFORE THE PEO
PLK OF THE WHOLE COUNTRY.
W. W. Finley, of Washington,
D. C, Second Vice President of
he Southern Railway Company,
recently made the following
statement to a correspondent of
the New York Times with re
gard to the industrial develop
ment of the South:
"We are, in the South, in an
era of practical and successful
development of our great natural
advantages. There is a unani
mity among the people upon the
subject of development, and
general disposition to foster in
dustrial growth. The plans and
methods of placing the resources
of the Southern country before
the outside world are systemati
cally arranged, and are bound to
be beneficial to that section.
"Cotton manufacturers have
largely increased, and have
proved to be more profitable
than in any other section. Many
new mills have been erected, and
many more greatly enlarged, as
well as provided with the mos
modern machinery and appli
ances. It should not be surpris
me; to see within a short time
-9
the cotton produced in the Caro
linas and Northern Georgia tak
en entirely by local mills.
"A solendid beerinniner has
also been made in wood-working
and there are many of these es
tablishments in our territory in
successful operation. The abun
dance of valuable timber, suit
able for every branch of build
ine materials, as well as the
manufacture of wagons, car
riaees. railway cars, furniture
and, indeed, about everything o
which wood is a raw material
not only makes wood-working in
all its branches possible, bu
profitable, as well. At no dis
tant day tne ooutn will occupy
the first rank in this importan
industry.
"Iron manufacturing in the
South is forging ahead at a rapid
rate. All tne conditions are
favorable for success in this line
of industry. It has been detn
onstrated that iron can be manu
factured more cheaply and
equally good quality in the South
than in any other section. The
South is already engaged in the
exporting of iron, and the pros
pects are most encouraging
from that section. It is not to
be wondered at that this should
be so, for all the natural advan
tages are on the side of the
South, the only remarkable
thing about it being that this
foreign business was not devel
oped sooner.
"The cultivation of tobacco
and its manufacture into the
various forms in which the world
likes to use it is making com
mendable advancement. Better
grades are being cultivated, en
larged areas are being planted
and the conditions of this indus
try are exceedingly promising.
"The raising ot fruit is also
commanding a good deal of at
tention. That the South is wel
adapted to fruit raising has been
proved by actual experience, and
all who have engaged in this
branch of industry have been
successiui. 1 ne ooutu Has no
fears ot competition in this re
a rwt
spec, ine aoum is conveim
ent to the best markets, and can
produce in abundance the best
fruit.
"The railroads can justly lay
great claim 111 the progress of
the Southern development. They
have opened up rich and new
territory to settlement and added
largely to the facilities for growth
and development. They recog
nize the fact that the prosperity
of the territory through which
their lines run means their suc
cess, and so even from a purely
selfish motive, if for no other,
they desire to foster and encour
age all legitimate enterprises.
" 1 he particular railway which
I am connected is no exception
to this rule, as it is maintaining
an effective department whose
work is directed to the develop
ment of the agricultural and ins
dustnal interests of the section
of the country tributary to its
lines. It is also expending large
sums of money for betterments
of its properties and in increas
ing the facilities necessary to
give the public superior advan
tages for transporting the pro
ducts of the mill and the farm. "

Mill Between Corbett and
Choynski is Probable.
There is a probability of a
match between Corbett and
Choynski in San Francisco in
he fall. Parson Da vies has
urged Fitzsimmons to bring
about this resjilt, knowing that
f Fitzsimmons announced to
Corbett that he would fight him
after the ex-champion had beat
en Choynski, Jim would prob
ably go in for battle.
Fitzsimmons, it is believed, is
ending himself to the project.
Choynski is perfectly willing to
fight Corbett for any amount.
If the bout comes off it will be
20 rounds for the purse of $10," j

ple are jubilant.
The Westfield (Ind.) News
prints the following in regard to
an old resident of that place:
"Frank McAvoy, for many years
in the employ of the L., N. A.
& C. Ry. here, says: .'I have used
Chamberlaiu's Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy for ten
years or longer-and never with
out it in my family. I consider
it the best remedy of the kind
manufactured. I take pleasure
in recommeudiner it." It is a
specific for all bowel disorders.
