MYSTERIOUS ISLAND
FULL OF
Quest of Steamer Xema Is No
Longer a Se
cret.
By RICHARD ABERCORN.
Iperlit! to Tilt! Georgian.
London, Sept. 1.—Prealdent Roose
velt's decision to employ Chinese labor
on the Panama canal Is criticised by
labor members of the houee of com
mons.
Kelr Hardle, leader of the party,
said: "I hope the matter has not pro
gressed to the point of definite settle
ment. My views on the American
question of Chinese labor may be ex
pressed In a single eentence. I hope
that the people of the United States
will have learned from the experience
of the British government In South
Africa, and will keep the Chinese out,
as they would a plague."
"Chinese labor and Chinese slavery
under the conditions which were ob
tained In South Africa are associated
In the public mind. Prom the form
In which the news reaches us, I gather
that the terms under which Chinese
are to be Introduced are almost Identi
cal with those which governed their
Introduction Into South Africa. My
sympathies are, therefore, with the
people of America."
The secret 'of the steamer Xema’s
diamond hunting"voyage Is no secret
since she has left the port of London.
The facts have now been allowed pub
licity, and the surmlso of The Georg
Ian correspondent, that the ship It
bound for an obscure Island off the
Afrlcnn coast proves to be correct. Only
the exact latitude and longitude of the
dlnmondlferous Island Is kept secret.
The Collls Diamond Syndicate, which
Intends to exploit, numbers many peers
und other titled gentlemen among Its
shareholders. They Include Lord Aber-
dare. the Marquess of Tweetjdale, the
Earl of Albemarle, several lords of
the Scottish court of session, a number
of baronets and knights, Including Sir
A, Conan Doyle, and several naval of
ficers. The story of the mysterious
Island with Its wealth of diamonds Is
told by Mr. Kanyon-Collls, the man
ager of the syndicate, substantially as
related In the London correspondence
of The American several months ago.
Briefly, a certain Captain Jones, of
Cardiff, found a collection of precious
stones In the possession of one of his
crew, Dick I’owell. Among them were
several line diamonds, and Powell stat
ed that they came from an Island off
the African coast. Jones thereupon
set out to locate the Island, having been
Instructed by the diamond expert, Grif
fith, who had valued the atones, how
to win and wash diamonds. Jones set
out for the Island, and In 1897 Griffith
met him In Capetown, when Jones told
hint he had located the Island, and
showed him a quantity of diamonds.
These Griffith valued at 176.000, and
found that they did not come from any
known diamond mine. Jones shortly
afterwards died, but left in Griffith's
hands a chart which would enable him
to locate the island.
Griffith, having Just returned to Eng
land after a roving career, has placed
hie Information In the hands of the
Collls Syndicate, formed to exploit It,
The Island, which Is about 70 miles
from the mainland,' Is believed to be
uninhabited. It Is marked on admiral
ty charts, but no one outside the syndl
cate knows how to find It, as Its name
le a close secret. Jones and Powell
are dead, while Griffith has sold his
knowledge to the syndicate of noble
men and gentlemen that are sending
out the good ship Xema. The dlrec
tors of the syndicate are: Sir Alexan
der Muir Mackenile, K. G. Bume,
Captain A. L. Hughes-Hughes, royal
navy: Captain Frederick G. Jackson
(of the Jackson-Harmsworth Polar ex
pedltlon), Arthur Lundsberg, a promt
nent diamond merchant, and A. B
Larkins. The Xema carries an elab
orate plant for diamond mining and
washing, camp equipments and arms
and ammunition.
Ancient Sedan chairs are now put to
a strange and very modern use by
society women. A telephone In her
boudoir being a necessity to my lady
she finds that her great-grandmother'
polasquln le 'lie only form of telephone
box elegant enough to suit the sur
roundings. The Idea has been taken
up by many fashionable women, who
have reached the ancestrlal lumber
rooms for discarded Sedan chairs,
These have been furnished up and In
stalled In the owner's boudoir and fit
ted Incongruously with a telephone
apparatus all complete. A. genuine old
Sedan chair, decorated In the Georgian
style, makes an elegant piece of furnl
turo for a dainty boudoir, . id the un
sightly telephone box or naked trans,
mltter and receiver Is dispensed with.
An "Anti-Smart Set" movement has
commenced among the best circle of
English society. It Is headed by the
young Duchess -of Norfolk, a- high-,
principled and fearless lady, who bn?
already proved her fitness for the
proud position of premier duchess,
which she gained by her marrlagi
Father Bernard Vaughan's fierce dc
nunclatlon of the low morals preva
lent In certain sections of society
held to be. In the main, justified. Father
Vaughan received many letters from
members of the "Smart Set” them
selves, admitting that many of the
charges he made ngnlnst them were
true. Now a great effort Is to be made
to purge society of the licentious ele
ments that have brought discredit on
the English aristocracy. By a system
of rigorous scrutiny Into the records
of those who appear on their visiting
list, hostesses who have Joined the re
forming movement will weed out the
men and women who bear the taint of
the "Smart -Set." Inveterate gamblers
and loose-livers will be barred from
the best houses. A courageous step In
this direction was taken up by the
Duke of Richmond a yoar or two ago,
when he struck off his house party list
for Goodwood, the names of certajn
ladles with tarnished reputations whom
his most Illustrious guest wished to be
Invited. Ills grace fell out of royal
favor In consequence of this fastidious
ness.

“There’* a Reason”
PARIS SHOPKEEPERS
OPPflSEJEST DAY
Want To Keep Open on Sab
bath Throughout the
Year.
By RAOUL DE SAINT RENE.
Special to The Georgian.
Paris, September 1.—Miguel Zama
cols has published an eloquent appeal
against laziness In the pages of The
Gaulols. "This Is the loafing age,'
says he, and calls attention to the
appalling prevalence of lastness In
Paris alone. It seems that nobody
wants to work these days. The eight
hour labor day has already been obfc
talned, but the working men are agl
taring for a six-hour day. Soon they
will want a one-hour working day.
They have got a weekly day of rest
It won't bo long before they will want
tp rest six days and work on the sev
enth. The atreets, the parks are cov
ered with Idle people. The cafe ter
races are filled at all hours. The
benches along the avenues are covered
with loafers. The extraordinary num
her of .unoccupied people would sug
gest a terrible state of things, a sort
of national calamity, a country over
run with beggars and other poor
wretches who can not find employment.
But not at all.' The great crowds of
people doing nothing all day long,
which one encounters at every turn In
Paris, are not poor. They are de
cently dressed. They have money to
id at the cafes, at the races. They
: a cab when they are too lasy to
walk. They are not Idle because they
can't get work, but because'they do not
want It. Chronic laziness seems
have attacked the whole population.
The one object of thought nowada;
seems to be to find a way of llvli
without working. When some master
brains will have Invented machines
which will do everything for us, su
preme happiness will have been at
talned. The nation will sit down and
look on, while steam, steel and Iron do
the work.
Mrs. Hughes-Hallst, the American
queen of Emerald court, has given her
first hall of the season at her villa of
Monplalslr at Dlnard. Among the
guests were two princesses, seven mar
qulses and five marquises, thirty counts
and as many countesses, fourteen bar
ons and twenty-one baronesses, and
eight viscounts and vlscountesse
pashas, and about half a dozer
Huh noblemen and women, In add!
tlon to a large number of wealthy but
untitled guestz.
The authorities are meeting with
considerable difficulty In enforcing the
law relative to an obligatory day of
rest. The curious part of It Is that the
opposition comes not so much from
the employers as from the employees.
Sunday hnvlng been decided upon as
the day of rest, the authorities have
received enormous numbers of letters
from tradespeople asking to be per
mitted to keep open shop on Sundays
and give their employees each one
day of rest per week In turn. It seems
Impossible to get the people to agree
as to which day really should be used
to. rest.
Westminster Presbyterian church, at
the corner of Boulevard and Forrest
avenue. Is completing the Installation
of their new pipe organ, recently pur
chased by the ladles of the church.
This organ la being built by Henry
Pilcher's Sons, and In its scope Is
marvel of the modern organ builder's
art. Every Item of its construction Is
i patterned after the most Improved
plans used In the best Instruments of
this country and Europe. Special care
has been used In the selection of mate
rials, both woodwork and metal, In
order that durability may be procured
and the most pleasing tonal qualities
produced.
. While not so large as some other or
gans In the city, Its scheme of com-
ratlve action is probably not equaled
any. From an architectural view
point, the design Is In perfect propor
tion, and the rich gold and bronzs pipes
In absolute harmony with the antique
oak and pure white facings of the
beautiful auditorium.
The Instrument will be used for the
first time on Sunday, September 2,
when special musical programs have
been arranged for both services.
At an early date, to be announced
later, an artistic recital will be given
for the benefit of the public.

floats-away with them-anas tho subject
of a communication to the Academy of
Science recently. M. Domergue ex
plained how to destroy the bivalve's
deadly enemy. He explained that this
particular kind of ween Is furnished
with bulbs which at high tide fill with
water, but when the water lowers the
bulbs empty and fill with air. As the
tide comes In again, the bulbs rise to
the surface, and ns tfie weed flourishes
particularly In oyster beds, It carries
off a lot of the oysters with It. They
float out to sea and are lost. The rem
edy which Is now applied Is to beat the
beds with faggots of thorns at low tide.
This destroys the bulbs and prevents
the elopement of the oyster.
'No more colored stockings," says
Dame Fashion. Even tan or gray,
which were so popular at the begin
ning of the season, are now considered
vulgar. Black only Is worn by the chic
Pnrialenne now, preferably black silk
of course, nnd low shoes with large old-
fashioned silver buckles. Large hats,
too, are once more In favor. The min
iature straw derby and brimless sailor
are no more seen on the heads of the
elegantes, but huge Gainsboroughs In
can possibly be made to hold In place
thereon. A very popular way of ar
ranging the plumes Is fan shape, with
the quills held In a point by a huge
buckle In the center of the front, nnd
the plumes radiating therefrom toward
the side and back. Others aria arranged
fountalnwlse. Instead of falling bnok
upon the crown and brim, the plumes
are made to stand stiffly up from Just
above the center of the forehead and
drop over at a height of about six or
eight Inches.
A writer In The Echo de Paris, who
signs ’’Monsieur Pickwick,” In a recent
issue writes scathingly of the trend of
conversation In modem French society.
He says the one and only subject of
unfailing Interest Is that of matrimo
nial Infidelity. That at eveir dinner,
reception, tea or social gathering to
which you go In Paris the only thing
that the guests talk about Is whether
Madame X. Y or Z Is unfaithful to her
husband, and whose wife Mons eur A.
B or (' has got a love affair with. If
you talk politics." says the writer, "the
hostess tac'.'ully changes the subject In
order to avoid heated discussions. If
you broach the subject of finance,
somebody shuts you off because you
might make matte-s embarrassing for
persons present who are In difficulties.
Questions of social Interest are also
tabooed, os they, like politics, are apt to
lead to discord. Try history, and In
these days of superficial educations
there won’t be three people who know
hat It Is all about. Moreover, none
! the foregoing topics are likely to
entertain the ladles. What then? Love
Intrigue Is the only subject left.

To the Man
Whose Advertising
Is Paying—
If you can get better results for your advertising appro-
priation you want to know it. If you cannot get better
results for your money, you want the satisfaction of knowing
that your present investment is paying as well as it can be
made to pay.
M
rANY a successful advertiser feels
that although his advertising is
paying, if he could only eliminate
running waste and the element of chance,
that it would pay better.
And very often that’s true.
If we can show you the way to greater
returns for less money you will be glad
to have us do so.
And we will be just as glad to tell you to
go ahead as you are going now if we find
that your present advertising is developed
to the maximum of efficiency.
We offer you, free of charge or obligation, an
opportunity to have your proposition sub
jected to the light of the Lord & Thomas
Record of Results.
This Record is a tabulation of actual results,
Inquiries and sales known positively to have
been produced by scores of classifications
of selling plans and copy advertising hun
dreds of different commodities in all good
newspapers and other media.
No matter how successful your advertis
ing is at present the Lord & Thomas
Record of Results may point the way to
greater returns for less money—the dif
ference to be credited to your profits.
For the Record of Results is a guide to the
three essentials of advertising—plans,
copy, media.
Do you think that your advertising, based
on unrecorded experience, and judgment,
and opinion, would prove 100% right as to
plans, copy and media, when subjected to
the light of the Record of Results?
Our records and tests have in some cases
proved 80% difference in selling power in
favor of copy based on the Record of Re*
suits over copy prepared on judgment,
opinion and unrecorded experience.
The waste mediums in lists used by ad
vertisers' who have transferred their ac
counts to us has proved as high as 33%.
When you consider these facts can you af
ford to ignore the opportunity we offer you?
It may be, even though your advertising is
paying, that it could be made to pay better.
Or it may be that you are-now reaping the
maximum of possible results.. Isn't it
worth finding out which is the case?
One of our representatives is in your city
every few days looking after the interests
of some of our present clients. That is
why we are advertising in this newspaper
—to you—NOW.
We ask you to write today—granting us
an interview in your office. You will'in
no way obligate yourself by asking us to
calk
We are leaning a series of small books (cloth
bound) covering advertising in all its phases,
which we send free to Interested advertisers.
