Snld < o lie ( lip ARKrnRntr nf I'ollulrs nil Life nf Prince nf Wnlcn. A hie Insurance man In New York told a Chicago Record correspondent that tha prlnco of Wales was the heaviest risk of nny patron of the Insurance business , and that hla death would cost English , German , French ami American companies not less than $10,000,000. "No other person carries 20 per cent of that Insurance , " ho said , "but comparatively HUlo of It Is for the benefit ot his family ; perhaps not more than $1,000,000. Some years ago largo policies were taken out by his creditors as security for money loaned. If ho should ever pay his debts they would of course revert to him , and mlsht lie car ried for the benefit of his family , but his premiums , like the premiums on all of the royal families of Europe , are very high- much higher than these paid 'by private In dividuals for the same amount of Insur ance , "It Is a curious fact , " continued my In surance friend , who spends a good deal of his tlmo In England , "that $2,000,000 or $3,000,000 of Insurance , perhaps more than that , has been placed on the life of the prlnco of Wales as a speculation by per sons who do not know him and have never had any relations with htm whatever. This would not be possible under the Insurance laws of the United States , but Is Is allowed by some of the English companies. Over there any man can secure a policy on the life ot a neighbor , provided ho can persuade the neighbor to submit to a medical ex amination or find a company which has re cently had him examined. Thus when the Prlnoo of Wales undergoes an examination for Insurance lots of speculators apply to the same company for policies on his life , or got certified copies of the report of thu medical examiner and use them with other companies. It Is pure speculation. They pay a high premium , a margin , so to speak , or , to put It In another way , they book a wager with the Insurance companies that the prlnco will die before the total of their premiums exceeds the amount of the policy. Therefore many persons would bo financially benefited If Albert Edward should drop off suddenly ono of these fine days. The prince Is perfectly aware of this fact. He knows very well that advantages have been taken of his situation , but I do not suppose It makes any difference with his habits. " DIAMONDS OK AM. COLORS. Ilrtl Stoned Arc the Jlnrpfit nnil Srt Conic * tlif ninclc. A Targe number of diamonds , says Self- Culture , are white , though a clear , color less , transparent stone Is rarer than might be suppose. ! . Decides white diamonds , there are red , blue , green , yellow , brown , black and pink ones. Heat often change- ] the icolor , and after awhile the acquired line be comes permanent. Yellow diamonds perhaps afford the greatest variety of shades , Some of them surpass any other gem of that color. Specimens of canary-colored diamonds mends are quite common. If the gem has a roee-colored tint It Is very valuable , while red tints , surpassing the ruby , and considered the mast beautiful cf all precious gams , are exceedingly rare. A few varieties are on record ; one weighing ten carats was bought by Emperor Paul of Rucela for $100,000. A cinnamon or brown stone Is undesirable , as it Is seldom pure. A black diamond Is nearly as scarce as a red one. Blue diamonds rank next to red ones In variety and beauty , Those of a dark blue color , resembling sap- phlrw , are handsome gems , differing only from the sapphire In quality and the beau tiful play of colors peculiar to the diamond. The only real blue stones are found In the mines of India. Besides the Bismarck and Hope diamonds , there are only two others In the world that are properly called blue diamonds. The. green varieties are not as rare as the blue , black , red and rose colored specls , yet a gross.green or flno emerald color Is scarce. When It does occur It Is more brilliant than the finest emerald. There are several varie ties cf green-tinted diamonds at ths Museum cf Natural History In Paris , but the best- known specimen Is at Dresden , and Is con sidered one of thu five paragons of the world among gems. llellrutluim f n Ilnclielor.

SPLENDID PITCHING OF GLA DE A FEATURE lfcvr lilt * Mnile by .the llreirerx , bnt Tucr I'rolltcd It } * Ioono Support ot the Fleldem Hooter * Were Nine to four. That was the tune to which Buck Keith's Brewers did up the Fremont- ers In a noisily enthusiastic game nt Non pareil park Sunday afternoon , which was witnessed by a largo crowd of spectators. The visiting team had no lack of support ers. One would have thought from the cheering which they received at every good play that the neat of the contest was In Fremont Instead of Omaha , but the faint support given the locals by the crowd put them on their mettle am ) they never played hotter ball. Buck's Brewers are not losing their popularity. This must not be con strued from the fact that the rooters were "wld Fremont and agin do Brewery gents , " but they have won so many games that the novelty of seeing them lost Just once would add a considerable flavor to the season's sport , and then the South Omaha contingent , which always forms a largo proportion of the crowds and does Its shart ot the rootIng - Ing , would be Immensely pleased to see tha brewers go down to defeat once In a while , because ot the unmerciful drubbing that they have given every nlno that has ven tured to meet them from the pork-packing annex to this city. The game started out lively and kept up Ot a pretty good g [ lt nil the way through. The team work of the Brewers was In de cided contrast to that of the visitors. The browcrs are always keyed up to a national league pitch , while It was noticeable , as it lias been In nearly every game this season , that their opponents lose tbolr heads at the critical stages. The hero of the day was Fred Glade of Orand Island , .who WM im ported by Fremont to pitch the game. He 'was ' < vbly supported by his brothun back of the plato. The member of the Qlade fam ily that does the tossing plays up to the limit at every turn and if he had been supported by a team in nnyway equaling his ability the outcome might have been different. In the first five innings only two hits were made off his splondtd delivery. He has absolute control of the ball and throws with a marvellous speed. Sonic Venture * of the Gnntc. The visitors went to bat first and Fulmer touched up Scully { or a. drive out in right field which Tomse-tt ought to have got , but he didn't and Fulmer reached third on his error. HofDestraer went , out on a slow grounder to Dorcas who gathered In the sphere'an'l ' WM whistling "My Rag-rtlmo Oal. " when the Freraonter reached first. Fulmer , however , sot home and scored thu first tally. Catcher Qlade walked dowin to first nnd stole second while Cook was eaw- Ing the atmosphere trying to find Scully's delivery , which he couldn't accomplish , and struck out. .Tames made n single and Olado advanced to third. Bads cot to first en the rcculrod number of balls and Glade sauntered into homo before his brother , the pltchor , retired the aide on a long fly to the omnipresent Jellen. In Omaha's halt Bradford -was hit by a pitched ball. Scully made a sacrifice hit which enabled "Brad" 'to ' steal ( his way to third , and he reached homo on an error ot James , who muffed ths ball after Walker had lined out n mod- eat lufleld crounder. Waller made nn out whllo itrylne to steal second. The other two Tvere made by Lawler on a fly to center field end Dorcas at flrat. Fremont thus started off In the lead , but didn't hold It long and the fast Dace which the visitors Bet In the first Inning eoe-med to have taxed the limit of the-lr capacity , for they Immediately dropped down to mediocre playing , featured only by tlho brilliant work of the Olado battery. In the lost half of the fourth the Brewers passed the lead which had been hold over them until this time. Lawler reached first on an error of White. Waller then pranced up 'to ' the plate with his 2x4 stick and demonstrated to Mr. Glade that -tlho heavy baUman of the Utah league was equal to any Nebraska ball tosser. He lined out a three bagger , bringing in Lawler. Another error cf White at shortstca per mitted Doroaa to land safely on first and before the three ouits were made Waller nnd Dorcas had both crossed the slate. In the remaining four innings the Brewers were ehut out only in the seventh , nnd piled u : > five more runs. In the ninth the visitors took a new lease'of life and with two hAts and an error the bases were filled by Hoffleatmer , Glade and Cook. James was the nest man to the bat It waa n critical moment for him. He waa determined to carve out his reputation right there , and when he made a single to Bradford his bra'on pwclled with pride as ho heard the plaudits of the multitude wafted toward htm. Bradford corralled the ball and planted himself on second , putting out the runner from first. Then ho lined the ball down to Dorcas on first but his nerve had been unstrung by the excitement of the oc casion and the sphere didn't go anywhere near Dorcas. Before It was found Hoff- Icctmer and Cook had scored. This was all , however , ca the next two moll nt the bat completed the necessary outs and the game was over with.

( Special. ) Th chances for a big republican victory In tha Sixth congressional district ore now ad mitted by many prominent fuslonlsts to bo better than they have been for a number of years , Republicans from that district who have visited Lincoln during the past tow days concede the nomination ot Moses P. Klnkald of Holt county with very llttlo opposition and no alarm li felt concerning the success of the ticket at election. Thcro Is but little prospooj that , the popocratlo forces will bo united , even If the domc-cmlto committee naks for nnd secures Harring ton's withdrawal. The dlseatlsfactlon all over the district Is so general that the pop ulist campaign managers will find It diffi cult to heal the wounds made at the icon * vcnttons. * " Ono prominent democrat and fuelonlst who refused to become n candidate for the con gressional nomination In the Sixth district was In the olty recently and to a friend he assorted that Ihero was no possible chance for the success ot either tha populist or democratic candidate. "Whether Harrington withdraws or not , " ho said , "Mosea P. Klnkald will certainly bo the next congressman rein the Sixth district. It Is doubtful whether the demo cratic committee will propose a withdrawal to Harrington and It is certain that "ho will not pull off unless asked to do BO. A small portion of the democrats of the district may support Neville , but the majority , in fact nearly all of them , will vote for their own candidate. This of course will add Im mensely to the chance for a republican majority. " This Btatement , coming from a man who was urged to accept the nomination for congress , carries with It considerable weight and at the stuno time expresses the thoughts of most democrats ot the district. Kin- knid , the man spoken of for the republican nomination , Is ono of the most popular men in the district and Is especially strong In the northern nnd southeastern portions. There was some opposition to him in the southern portion. In and about Kearney , but the withdrawal of the Kearney candidate has done away with this. In. this county but very little Is said con cerning the nominations for two regents of the university. There is a disposition to renomlnate Charles Weston of Hay Springs , the retiring republican member , If ho will accept. John XI. Dryden of Kearney , a grad uate of the Institution , who came very near being nominated t'wo years ago , Is also spo ken of for one of the nominations. The fusionlsts of Lancaster county are having considerable difficulty In finding a man willing to accept the nomination for district judge. Three judges are to be elected this year nnd two candidates were named at the conventions held two weeks ago. The selection of' the third candidate was left with the" central committee , which a few days ago decided upon Judge Wheeler as the best man for the place. Since then Wheeler has positively declined to enter the race. As It ,1s , conceded by even the most hopeful ot the p pocrats that there Is no chance for thp. election of the three , it Is quite probably that no other candidate wJll Ibe put up. j-Thls will leave George E. 'Hlbnor ' and J. T ; Doyle against Judges Holmes , Cornsh/'and | Frost , "tho republican nominees.

( Special Telegram. ) The fusion conventions wore held here Saturday and after a good deal of wrangling and jangling between the popo- crats on one side and the democrats and sll- verltes on tha other , succeeded In nominat ing a more pleasing ticket to republicans than the latter could possibly have selected if left to them to name. The main disturb ance occurred 'when the populists almost unanimously nominated Frank Whlttecar for sheriff , to which the democrats objected , and chose J. M. Curry for the same placo. After about an hour of rustling the democrats succeeded In fooling the populists Into a Joint ballot and -with the aid of the seven Bllvcrltca present knocked out Whlttecar and nominated their man Curry , much to tha expressed disgust of the populist contingent , which will see them later. Finally late in the afternoon the following ticket waa placed before the public to bo easily de feated at the polls In November : Treasurer , William Murpby , Long Plnoj clerk , J. M. French , Alnsworth ; Judge , W. C. Potter , Alnsworth ; sheriff , J. M. Curry , Johnstown ; superintendent , Mies Stella Daniels , Long Pine ; coroner , Dr. Warner , Alnnvorth. The democrats presented a serins of resolutions endorsing Governor Poyntcr and 16 to 1 , con demning Imperialism , etc. , which were re ceived with profound silence and simply accepted without any demonstration what ever.
