Tim rendezvous was at St. Patrick's church , corner of Fourteenth nnd Caatcllar street' ) . At 2:45 : p. in. , the line was formed nnd marched cast on.

Behind them stood a. dense mass of human beings , which tilled the street and llowed into tbo yards nnd up the terraces ou the west side of the street. When the carriages cams to a stand the clcrpy alighted and moved to the southwest corner of the building , where the corner stone rested. Among these noted wore llov. F. Colanerl. Morinrty of South Omaha , Daxnchcr , chaplain of the present hos pital ; Ilreitkopf , Barrett , Lambert , S. J. , Chokii , administrator of the diocese ; Fitz gerald , S. J. , Bronsgeest.S.

These were followed by lUshop Scannell , a tall , slight , austcro gentleman of ( Joncordin , Kan. , who had been specially requested to officiate. At this time a number of gentlemen promi nent in the city were admitted to the lloorof the building , among them being John A. Crcigliton , whoso liberality hnd suggested the donation of the ground ; .Tami-s Crcighton , superintendent of construction ; JohnSchcnk , Georgu Kriig , Louis Schroeuer , Councilman Bcchcl , Hv Itnyor , D. .1.

When the clergy had reached the corner In which the stone rested Bishop bcnnncll donned his mltro and a beautiful wulto satin cope richly ornamented with a floriated da- sign. The assistant priests , Fathers Dax- neher nnd Morinrity , were attired hi dal matics of the same material and ornamenta tion , whllo Father Choka. the bishop's at- tcnuunt , was vested like the other clergy , in lace surplice and black soutuno. The ritual of the Catholic church for such cases was read by tlio bishop , ivotor , which was curried in n small font was blessed , then some salt was blessed. Finally both iho water and salt were mixed and again blessed. A procession was then formed nnd In the following order marched around thq build ing , the bishop the while using an aspergill and sprinkling the unfinished walls. first nn acolyte from St. Patrick's church bearing n processional cross then three moro ncolytes In various colored cassocks ; then the clergy chanting psalms nnd finally the bishop und his attendants. licturnlng to the stone the bishop rend a few moro lines from the ritual. The stone was raised by the attending workmen and as it ascended the bund played an impressive air. The foreman then spread red nnd whlto mortar beneath the block ns did also the bishop. The stone wns then lowered nnd placed hi position under the direction of Mr. IToh of Drexoll & Foil , the stone contractors. The trowell used by Ulsuop Scnunell was of solid silver hlado with ebouy handle and silver rings. After It had served Its purpose , the bishop turned toward Mr. Jnmos Crcighton , the superintendent and handing the trowel to that gentleman said : " 1 have been requested by the sisters of St Francis who are to have charge of this hospital to tender to this trowel nnd ask you to accept It in recognition of what you have ilono toward the erection of this hospital and .vhat your family have done toward it and the cause of religion in thin community. I hope that you may find your reward in this llfo und that God will reward you with " 'utcrnal llfo hereafter. " Mr. Creighton in accepting the symbol of Ills office ns superintendent said ; " 1 accept this trowel ni an evidence of ro- card and will use it honestly In the erection of this building. " The trowel Is beautifully engraved on ono fildo ns follows : "Corner stone laying Nov.

At the conclusion of the ceremony Rev. T. S. Fltrgarald , S. J. . president of Crelghton college , spoke as follows : ' The occasion on which wo nro assembled scarcely calls forany spoken tribute of praise. The occasion itself Is lU own best eulogy. The work in which wo nro engaged stands not In need of the horowcd ctmrmof eloquence ( eveu had 1 It to offer ) cither to enlist your sympathy or to awaken in you feelings of ap preciation and support. This event , in which wo are participating , speaks for Itself and un- penl * In its own native worth , stronger than utiy clo < j ucnce , to the purest and noblest Im pulses of the human heart. "lint though words of mine can add nothing to the merit or excellence of the enterprise which wo inaugurate today , they must not on this account remain unspoken. The public acknowledgment of a blosslnp is often neces sary. On tbo present occasion it scorns n motl nacrod duty , a compliance with which my own heart urgei aud you 1-3,1 feel , exact. "As a text for my remarks I can turn to nothing more appropriate or suggestive than the silent legend Inscribed on the cornerstone which wo are placing today. It is the best panegyric of tno spirit which you have como forth lo honor : it is the truest eulogy of the name which is adding ono more glory to your fair city of Omaha. The corner stone of a Crelghton Memorial and a St. Joseph's ' Hos pital of the Franciscan Sisterhood could have no more fitting epitaph than the Christly leg end which Inspired It : 'Blessed are the mer ciful for they shall obtain morcy.1 Thcso words died away centuries ago on the blllsldo of Palestine , but the spirit which prompted them came to nbldo in the world and to live among men In order to make the world bright er and men better by lust such monuments as Chreighton Charity and Franciscan Sacrillco are rearing in our midst. This Btono Indeed His legend fittingly con secrates , whoso beatitude it is that Inspired tbo charity of your saintly townswoman , Mr.-i. Emma Crcightou , and her generous husband to create this memorial , und that will prompt and sustain the sacrifice of the daughters of St. Francis In carrying it to a complete and crowning success. "In your name , then , and iu tbo nntno of every resident of Omaha , Irrespective of race or class or creed , I bespeak grateful tribute to the authors of the noble Institution , which Is soon to grace our city. Hero class distinc tions nnd race prejudices have no place , nnd hero warring sects may rest in the truce of a common blessing. Neither race nor class can withhold their tribute no moro than they can Ignore the ills to which humanity Is heir , nnd to the relief of which this structure Is reared. No creed need scruple or hesitate to offer Its meed of praise , for the corner-stone , which wo nro placing today , Is as broad ns our common humanity nnd affords a platform on which Jew and Gentile , saint unit sinner , tbcist and atheist alike , may stand. Hero belief nnd unbelief may accent a common religion und kneel iu the profession of a com mon faith. In a ccrtuln sense , or in different senses , wo nil profess a religion of humanity aud espouse a creed , whoso evangel is hu manity's weal. , "Tho building , whoso inception wo nro commemorating , is this religious temple , and the corner-stone wo uro laying this religion's altar , where ull mnv come and offer the com mon worship of gratitude and praise to these whom Christ's beatitude inspired to bless our community with this majestic monument of their love of humanity and pity of human sorrow. J'Thorc are these , I am aware , who profess a religion of humanity nnd who boost that its shrine is the only ono at which they kneel , but who , by a strange Inconsistency , affect to sneer at a worship whoso prerogative It Is nnd whoso timo-nttestcd privilege it has been to Inspire sous and daughters to found just such temples of huuianiiy as this Croigbtou memorial and Franciscan hos pital. To such religionists the temple which wo nro erecting will always bo a silent rebuke. It will , perhaps , suggest to them that If there bo such a thing ns a true religion of human ity. Ho must have been its founder whoso beatitude of mercy Is inscribed on today's corner stone nnd whoso spirit , in every land nnd clime , in every ago from His to ours has created refuges for every species of human sulTorlntr. It will , probably , suggest to them that if a true religion of humanity exists in the world , none hold stronger presumptive evidence of its possession than tbo noble and generous souls , who , nt the instance of Chiist's Beatitude , are leaving this splendid heritage to the poor and unfortunate of our common raco. That our race needs a religion whoso profession creates institutions like this , few , I think , will venture or care to deny. The true religionists of humanity , cer tainly , have many occasions for the exercise nnd practice of their creed. In the llorco struggle which men nro waging for existence and in their still wilder rush for prominence aud superiority , wo meet alasl with too many Instances of what bus been aptly styled "Man's inhumanity to man1" The atrocities which the selfishness of our nature cither perpetrates or permits uro often fearful indeed nud almost sufficient at times to make us aoubt if after nil. there bo any such thing as innate nobility of the human heart. In the race for wealth and position are we not seemingly at the mercy of a ruth less nnd relentless law , elsewhere known as "Survival of the llttoat , " which like the fabled cat of the Hindoos , crushes and man gles thousands for the few it carries to tbo poallTbo quality of mercy1 often iudeail seems 'strained , ' nnd its quantity In many places sadly stinted. When wo witness the ever-recurring in stances of man's Inhumanity to man , when we sco In bis pitiless quest of gain tbo perpetration or almost every cruelty to his fellow beings , the belief all but forces itself upon ns that the religion of humanity has long ilnco passed with the masses into the idolatry of self. This Idolatry wo know obtained the world over before Christ came upon earth. It obtains today wherever Christ Is ignored or rejected. It Is fated al ways to lw the issue of every religion of hu manity which Is neb founded on Christ and Insplred by Christ's benutltudes. Omaha , doubtless , mourns her share of this wretched und cruel Idolatry. Ttmt this blight , however , Is neither universal nor widespread wo need no better assurance than the happy event In which we nro participat ing. Wo are bora today at the instance not of an Idolatry which Immolates fellow beings to the idols of wealth and pleisure : , but of o religion tlio true religion of humanity which prompts the sacriilco of fortune and InsDlrca the immolation of self on the ultar of Christ's beatitude , for thn weal nud wel fare of Christ's suffering members. Hero In this Creigbtou memorial und St , Joseph's hospital , Christ's true religion of humanity will jnako large atonements for tbo atrocities of n pagan idolatry of self. "I need not delay to speak a panegyric of the lady and her husband whoso names henceforth will be associated with this torn- plo of Humanity. Better , fur bettor than in words of mine will their eulogy bo told In the silent tears of gratitude , in the holy prayers of thankfulness and blessing which In after yours the victims of sickness und disease will offer hero to their memory. Why should I linger to pay them the poor , passing tribute of human praise , which t know they do not covet when they possess in this memorial the sweeter und thrice dearer assurance of His blessing aud rccompcneo whoso beatitude it was that inspired them in this noble undertaking I Xor need I tarry to eulogize that band of hcrolo women on whoso devotion and sucn- * llco wo rely for tlio happy and successful issue of the good work so auspiciously Inaug urated. Tnulr deeds are known to you , nnd the beauty of their lives you have had occa f sion to witness. Theirs is a spirit which brooks not human praise , which prevails In spltoof human recognition and which at tempts arduous enterprises only to succeed and triumph. In their bauds Crcighton Me morial is tn safe keening , and in their sweet and true religion of humanity St. Joseph - hospital , wo are confident , will grow aud flourish. If I were to detain you longer it would ho to speak nword personally to J'ou who are - here , and through you , to every Christian and every sincere friend of humanity In Omaha. It would bo to venture the thought that the glory of this institution ought not to be loft to the Crelghtoiu alone , or to the Franciscan Sisterhood alono. livery human- Itv-lovlng resident of Oumtm this Institution - has a right to claim us a iwtron uud a friond. These walls are roared to shelter the victims of misfortune , which recognizes no distinc tion of persons. Tlio uiorcy and charity that - will be dispensed here will bo tbo mercy and charity of Him who came to save alL who - dlod to redeem all and who promised Ills bcntitudo to the merciful unqualified or un limited by accident of race or class or creed. " \Vhllolt appeals for support It Is true , in n special manner to the Catholics of Oinnhn , it foregoes not its valid , and just claim on Christians of other denominations who must recognize In It the spirit of Christ whom they profess to worship. "It appeals also to tboso who know not , or pretend to know not , God or Ills CbrUt , but who profess u religion that be gets /mcriflco hnd throws the innntlo of charity nnd mercy nnd pity over t&o dis tressed and nflllctod. "In behalf , therefore , of our common hu manity ; In behalf of tbo human suffering to the relief of which this memorial is erected ; In the name of tbo Christly spirit which originated it , ana the dlvlno sncrlllco which' will sustain and perfect It , I call on all lovers and friends of humanity to give their aid to the good cause. " "Tlio burden of an institution which re flects honor upon our city , ought not to bo left unrelieved on the shoulders of a few oven though they were willing to assume It. No citizen of Omaha who is concerned for his city's honor , who Is proud of his city's growth , who is Jealous of his city's ' Christian nnd huumiio repute , can refuse his substan tial and practical support to an Institution by which all these interests are subserved. " Governor John M. Thayerbeingmtroduccd with a few appropriate words spoke substan tially as follows : "Fellowcitizenslam : taken by surprise In belt ? asked to say anything on this occa sion and I only appear now to acknowledge tbo most friendly call of the bishop. I WM denied the pleasure of being hero at the com mencement of your exercises , having on en gagement at another plao to attend a meet ing called for the purpose of making an ap peal in behalf of the destitute people in the western part of this state. After sneaking there the mayor nnd myself hurried here to show our appreciation of this most interest ing occasion and to show by our presence that wo feel a deep interest in the Institution tbo comer stone of which has Just been laid. "I congratulate the city of Omaha upon the erection of a building hero which will indeed prove to bo a homo for the poor and unfor tunate and ufillcted. I have iu in years past learned and appreciated the benefits of St. Joseph's hospital. I have felt that wo nil b ad reason to thank God that ho put It into the hearts of these good women and others in charge for establishing and building up that great institution. "It required a now odlflco and through the mumflccnco of tbo noble Crelgbton family this institution has been inngurated : In the future all who may be nfllicteu will find nn asylum hero whotbor tkov are able to pay or not. not."I "I dcslro to publicly pay this tribute to the noble women and men who have aided In maintaining St. Joseph's ' hospital iu the past , nnd I bid them God speed. In their work of ' humanity'and of mercy. Their ambition is a noble ono to lessen thosufferingand increase the happiness of their fellow-beings , doing what our Savior commanded his followers to do. "I wns not at all prepared to address you , but in the interests of humanity I was willIng - Ing to bear public testimony to the blessing which this Institution has proved to bo in the past nud the still greater blessings which it will confer in the future , not only upon the city of Omaha , but also upon the surrounding country.

To the Editor of THE BCE : Recent cablegrams from Eng land , announcing that representatives from the leading slhc plush linn of Lister & Co. , Bradford , had sailed for New York with the ibjcct in view to look up a site for building mills to manufacture their line of goods in the United States , recalls to my mind a visit f a few weeks to Bradford during July last md the conversations I had with' leading manufacturers In that vicinity. Leeds , Bradford , Halifax , Manchester and ShcRlcld are located in the very center of the district of manufactories in England , and al most connected with smaller manufacturing owns and settlements. It wns quite in keeping with the vast industrial interests of this district that the McKluloy bill should produce a stuto of feverish excitement nnd great anxiety , because the main markets for their manufactured products are iu the United States. It wns expected that these men should express - press great hostility towards measures that threatened to paralyze their business in which their millions were invested , but on quietly reasoning with these men I found them to take a practical view of the matter und talk very sensibly in a business way after ventilating their free trade opiuions quite freely nt first. The manufacturers differ - for greatly from tbo notions Americans , generally - orally form from tbo expressions of English politicians nnd free trade agitators. An English manufacturer is somewhat similar to the typical westera man of America ; creator of his own fortune and gen erally springing from an humble origin , but with industry , energy , push nnd enterprise they have nil achieved remarkable success and gained wealth. They are moro practical in their ways of thinking than theo retical , nnd would assimilate quito readily with western Ideas and the progressive con ditions. To solve the now problem confront ing them in the McKlnloy bill many hnvo ar rived at the sensible conclusion that the best way out of tbo entire difficulty- to locate their factories in the United States. I never lost nn opportunity to direct their attention to Omaha us a most suitable place to locate. Doing near the center of the continent , with railroad lines radiating to all parts of the compass , and main through lines nt that , and bidding fair to bo a great center of population in the near future. All these matters they took into serious consideration , but they are similar to nil other men and will try to make the most of their opportunities , and will be pleased to consider Inducements offered by the different localities. It will bo well for Omaha business men and property owners to bowldouwuko nnd secure some of the very first to locate nt Omaha. The moral effect of having tlio first factories located at Omaha on the others remaining abroad will bo very great nnd bear good fruit in drawing them also to this eamo center when their time comes to move. Hcprcscntativcs of Omaha should bo placed at once in active communi cation for these enterprises with the repre sentatives of Lister & Co. , as well as other leading firms throughout the manufacturing districts. Tbo Munningham mills employ about a thousand bands alone , and there are many other establishments at and around Bradford nearly as important. My interest in Omaha's prosperity and welfare nlono prompts mo to call attention to these important matters. Any aid in my power I can give will bo most cheerfully ren dered. Wbatevoris done must boilono with out delay in this direction. TIIOSFAS WOLFE. "Xbc Girl with it Taste for Music.

WHY THEY SELDOM'GO HAND-IN-HAND , Entente Ttmt Piracy on the Urmtunor Is licKltlinatcr Ueonuso "Tho House I'njrsfor It" Carry- Ins Dlnmbild HainplcD. When the monls of'saloamcn ore being dis cussed , how frequently wo hear the criticism , 'Gcorgo ' Is a peed salesman , but a miserable collector. ' ' It is /act that tbo ninn who hns the qualities to make friends of merchants and sell them the Roods U seldom a passably Rood collector. Tills is because , says th'o Columbus Journal , it requires a complete inctnmornhoso of the individual to emiblo him to succeed In the two c.iiwcltlps. * Mnn has two potent factors in his nicntul unatotnv. The liret Is styled attractive force , which Is not otily able to draw men to hltn , but to hold them in sympathy with Ids will. This Is not nn npRrosslvo quality , but yurcly gym. pathetic. The other is known us the repollaut force , which forbids familiarity nnd frequently friendships. This last quality is void of sympathy anil Is the forceful elo- incut in a good collector : hut the exhibition of It in attempting to Bell poods would be fatal to the enterprise. Another reason why a Rood salesman is a poor collector is that by frequently associating with hU customers ho is very opt to get to looking at matters from tholr standpoint , and the oftcner bo sees bis trade the less likely he Is to notice any stuns of disintegration in or about the premises , which , to a loss frequent and unprejudiced observer , would bo apparent the moment ho entered the door. Perhaps the stock has been running down , but It has been so gradual as to nave escaped the notice of the semi-monthly visitor , yet to ouowho had not seen tbo stock for perhaps six months it would bo in such shape as at least to arouse a spirit of inquiry , if not apprehension. The financial man writes : "John Thompson requests ma to hold our draft for bill duo on the 10th , and as this Is the third request of this nature within the past six mouths , wo would ask that you would look him up very carefully when there next. " How natural It is for a salesman to edge around John with , "How are your collections nowadays , Johnl" mid accept any explanation mauo as a good and sufllcleut reason why the house should ex tend his time and help John through the tight places. The small dealers may not bo aware of the fact that the friend who stands between him nnd the ragccd edge is almost invariably the salesman. The standing he has in the trade , the credit ho enjoys , nnd tbo favors ho re ceives in the way of little extensions , en abling him to do business on a limited capital with comparative comfort , nro In most cases the fruits of a personal appeal on the part of the salesman made to his llrm in bcnnlf of his customer. A small merchant with a limited capital wants to bo the stead fast friend of the salesman who visits him. for if ho gets hard up that salesman will stand between him and his firm , elton to his own serious disadvantage. While the pros pective loss stares him m the face , ho stands as between the living and the dead : when the prospective has crystallized into the actual ho Is "between the devil and the deep blue sea. " The UoiiHO Pays Tor It. Wo bad finished our lunch of eggs , biscuit , cold chicken and coffee at the lunch stand , says a writer in an eastern paper , and asked the man across the counter how much wo owed the establishment , nnd ho answered by asking a question himself , and that was , "Arc you a railroad man ? " Of coursawo said no , when ho meekly replied , " 75 cents. " Now , suppose wo wore railroad men , how much would this same food have cost us ) After glancing over the empty plates ho re plied 40 cents. Tbo same day wo wore In a barber shop getting shaved und were handed a 15-ccut check , when a man living in the same city nnd shavcd'ht the. same chair onlj' paid 10 cents. It was the writer's privilege to overbear a conversation between two liverymen who had been consulted by a traveling man that day about taking him eight miles , when ouo said , "Charge him Sl.50 , for ho's a traveling man and his house pays for It. " The man who wanted to make the drive % vas posted nnd another more enterprising nnd less mercenary innn took him for ? , ' . Now in this-connection wo want to ask why nro the traveling men discrimin ated against nt every point } Why do hotels charge him from 20 to 60 per cent more than they do other people who eat as much"or more } Have the hotels , bus men , restaurant men , livery men , barbers and the public gen erally combined to rob the traveling sales men nnd charge them moro for the same ac commodations than they do others and then ease their consciences , if they have any , with the statement that his house Is rich nnd pays the bills ) If so , it Is unfair , mean and unjust , and deserves the condemnation of all fair- minded people. If those same pirates who stand with ono hand oa the traveling man's throat and the other In his pocket , would only stop lo think and bo fair , they would sea that in stead of taking It from his "rich house" they are taking It from the poor salesman , they might bo mnro lenient , wo say they might bo moro leniout. Every salcsmanno matterwhnt his Hue , has his salary based on the goods ho sells and the cost it is to sell them. Tobacco manufacturers count cost per pound , soap men cost per box , iron men cost per ton , starch men cost per pound , and many others on the net proiit of the salesman's labors. If , for instance , a salesman had passes over every railway , for board at every hotel , and luul no expense account at all ho would bo a desirable man for any house , and they would pay him a larger salary than otherwise , because - cause ho would cost them nothing to travel. So , on the same principle , his house figures expenses salary nnd net proiit , and if his profits ere light at the end of the year ho gets no increase of salary , If indeed ho retains his position.And you wuo have charged him in excess of others on the supposition ttiat his house pays for it are the cause of his discharge. As a class wo nro willing to pay for what wo tret , but want what wo pay for.

Ills customer expects a dinner , theatre or good cigar , "because the liouso pays for it ; " the waiter on extra quarter , "because the house pays for it ; " and to go along pleasantly with his friends nnd tnulo there nro a hundred llttlo expenses in curred , and the house don't and won't pay for it.

"Po I carry any great sura of money in dla mondswith mo on mr < ( trips turough the country ! Do you call $100,000 any great sum Well , I have frequently 'carried that funoun inside my vest in looso' diamonds , " said i salesman of ouo of the largest wholesale dla inond houses in tbo country to a reporter "Toll you how I carry such valuable stones Well , I don't know as It makes any particu lar dmeronro , although it U a subject abou which few diamond men like to talk. "I have been In tbo business now over flf teen years , " continued the salesman , settling himself comfortably in a big nrm-cbnlr lighting a cigar nnd sending graceful cloud of smoke curling towards the celling , " don't think Its n very hard life , as living goes , though somewhat of a dangerous ono us you uro Icuown to many 'crooks and frequently run the risk of dtwporuto attack , through the mis taken notion that you go about the city n night with diamonds on your person. I hav bad several llttlo bcrlmmages , but have n ways managed to save my diamond * . "Now , in telling you how I carry loose dla inoncl * I am speaking only of unset stones Men who have set stones have trunks am boxes made especially for that purpose , am How to be a Happy Wife. "How many a young wife , if she spoke the absolute truth , would say : ' While I love my husband , my marriage is a great mistake , for I am brought in close contact with people with whom I have no thought in common , and who make me wretchedly unhappy. ' A homely old proverb says : 'For the want of company , welcome trumpery. ' The girl who accepts Ned because no one else has asked her , and she docs not want to bu the only old maid in her set , turns hex marriage into a make shift. She is conscious at times that-she deserves a better fate , but her friends have teased her , about him , and almost before she knows it she is his , by the appropriation of public opinion , " .

A con federate goes tlirougU the trtinlcs , ns such thieves nearly always work In pairs , nnd be fore you can extricate yourself from the well tied cords nnd gag uftcr the thieves have gene they have too much the btart to bo caught. "When I first began on the road I used to carry the stones In a chamois bolt lined with sills around my waist next to the slcln. This was not only uncomfortable , but troublesome to got nt when I arrived at n hotel und wished to deposit the stones In a safe. Now iry tnllor always Hues iny vests after a peculiar fashion of. his own , " continued ho , opening his vest and showing four larpo pockets at tached to the lining of the front of the vest. "You see the lining is of very strong material nnd sowed to the first lining of the vest with the best of thread. The four pockets are simply the two usual pockets with double scam in the middle dividing them. Of course they nro made somewhat larger so that the | poclcotbooks holding the diamonds will ex actly fit them. The pocketboolcs are hooked with a spring to n closely-woven , fitiely-totn- pored stool chain that Is attached to a light but strong belt around the waist. Even if a pickpocket succeeded in getting hold of ono of the books be could not go ofl with it on ac count of the cbaln. Some mt > u have pockets put In the lusldo of the front waistband of their trousers , but I prefer these in my vest Tlio whole secret Is to get the books ns near the person ns possible , so you can feel thorn all the tlmo. "Now for the pocketbooks that hold the papers of diamonds. Hero Is ono. You sco It is two pieces of close grained , rntbor stiff leather , Joined by a more pliable piece of leather , so ns to admit of doubling one over the other. These two thlu strips ot steel across the back , nsvo will call them , nro finished 'In the front of the hook with two holes to admit of the hook on the steel chain catching through them nnd so holding them strong nnd safe. The inside is of Uusslan leather , twice as long ns the back of the book , so ns to double over tbo papers of diamonds. Each side of the pocketbook will usually hold four papers , but 1 have mine made so that they will hold slx.ns I frequent ly have extra largo quantities to take with mo. , "Now , last but not least , " said the sales man , opening ono of the pawn of diamonds by unfolding it twice , opening the ends , and then lifting the last fold off of the third fold , on which rested the ilinraonus , in much the sumo way us n druggist folds papers for pro scription powders , with tlio ex ception of turning the ends In before taking the second fold , "this outside paper is , as you BOO , of the very boat quality of linen paper , but not too stiff , nnd an eighth of an Inch larger than the Inside sheet of tis sue paper thai holds the diamonds , "Tlio regulation sbo for the outside sheet Is 8x10 Inches , which when folded up makes a package two nnd ono-bnlf inches loug and ono nnd one-half Inches wide. As I place the papers iu the box n rubber band holds each Individual paper In Us place , and a second and Rtrongor band holds the two ilnp cuds of the Inner book over the paper * .
