FRAUDS IN DIAMONDS.
| Extensive Operations of a Gang of
Diamond Painters—The Trade
I
Astonishing.
New York, Feb. 10.—For some
| monins past great excitement nas
| prevailed in the diamond trade in
i this city Owing to the discovery of
! wholesale frauds on dealers who have
i been victimized to the extent of hun
dreds ot thousands of dollars. Detec
tives have been long engaged in en
deavoring to ferret cut the frauds,
and it is confidently asserted that
within the next forty-eight hours im
portant srresiEWili be made. Tne,
experts who have so successfully im
posed on the trade, used for trie very
purpose ot deception a simble, yet
clever, process of coloring inferior
diamonds so they look exactly like
first-class water gems. When pressed
by a reporter for particulars, the
broker suddenly became uncom
municative, and referred his
interlocutor to Detective J. A. Brit
t< n, who is a deputy of Mr. Anthony
Comstock. Before applying to Mr.
Britton, the reporter made some in
quiries upon his own account and
gathered many facts as to the new
mode of swindling diamond mer
chants end their customers. Then the
detective was approached, who sard:
“Let me begin by reciting a little
story. Not many weeks ago a man
came into the shop of a well known
EistSide pawnbroker and exhibited
a pair of eupurb eight karat diamond
earrings. They were large and look
ed like twelve karat gems. Tne man
asked a loan of $1,500 upon them.
Long and carefully tne pawnbroker
examined ttie gems. His covetous
eye sparkled. He concluded that ttie
ston s were genuine blue-white dia
monds, which are as rare as they
are beautiful. They bring from
$l5O to ss'lo a karet. Tiffany & Co.
had one a while ago tor which
they refused SI,OOO a karet. Butttie
broker’s admiration did not get
rhe better ot his business itstincis.
He declined to loan more than SSOO
upon the earnings. This the cuato
rner promptly and positively refused.
After a long aigumeut the contract,
ing parties compromised upon $750.
As soon as the customer left the shop
the broker ordered his clerk (who
was out of eight during the negotia
tions) to follow the man and buy the
ticket at any price. He obeyed, and
after some dickering the victim ex
changed the ticket for SSO. Wild
, with delight, the broker hastened to
wash and polish his treasures. But
when he look them from tne water a
cry ®f astonishment escap d him.
The blue-white lustre was gone, and
to his surprise an 1 auger the shrewd
i Xpert found that he bad paid a high
pile 1 for ordinary gr< en yellow dia
monds, worth at the moat S4O a eat a .
Tne stones where painted. 1 suppose
there is not a diamond merchant or a
nawn-broker between New York and
New Orleans who 1 as not been hum
bugged by painted jewels. About
five months ago a gent lemgnly, well
dressed man, with a singu
larly agreaole manner, eu
tered the office of a prominent
■ firm of diamond brokers, and repre
sented himself as the agent of a large
house in Paris. Ho bad some flue
gems. Would the firm have the com
plais ince to examine them? The firm
did bo, a>'d bought SIO,OOO w, rth of
stones. Upon another occaslou they
I uret.ase 1 a yet larger amount, and
six weeks ago purchased ot the pleas
ant gentleman from P >ris a third lot,
for which they paid £5,000 sterling
' $25,000. The last package they did
not examine with the care bestowed
upon rhe others, for they had perfect
confidence in the ju igment ana in
tegrity of the man from France. In
a short time, however, the customers
who had bought diamonds of 'he
third purchase returned them to the
firm, declaring that instead of blue
, white g ms they weie of the green
yellow variety. The wholesale mer
chants were astonished beyond
measure ; but up n applying a simple
tee’, they found that the <ii irnonds
for which they ba I paid £5,000, were
worth perhaps one firm of that
amount.”

COLUMBUS, GA., SATURDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 17, 1883.
ADELAIDE NILSSON’S MOTHER.
J A VISIT TO THE GIRLHOOD HOME OF THE
| FAMOUS ACTRE.S IN YORKSHIRE, ENG
LAND.
Guiselev Letter in the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
i Adelaide Nilsson’s mother, Mrs.
'Bland, a widow of fifty or thero
; abouts, lives in this Yorkshire town.
She lives in a tiny cottage of gray
stone. Her resemblance to her
daughter is very striking. She in
vited me into her parlor, a simply
but comfortably furnished room, al
most converted into a photograph I
gallery’ by the pictures that hung
upon the wall representing the late i
' actress in every conceivable pose
; and at every age, from the deguer- j
j reotype when she is seen as a thin
' but pretty little girl, with dark curls
; and a low-necked dress, to the co
quetii h “Roraliud” masquerading
m doublet and hose. Framed in gilt
and surrounded by a wreath of green
ivy hung a large piece of embroide
ly, roses of varied hue mingled with
lilies and green leaves.
“This,” said Mis. Bland, in the
course of the evening chat, “my
daughter worked when she was only
eight years of age. She was always
very clever at anything with her
lingers, from dressing a doll to mak
ing a bonnet.”
“Your daughter had many tal
ents?” I queried.
“Yes, and some that the world
knew nothing of—tor instance, only
her intimate friends were aware that
she occasionally wrote versos.”
“Have you preserved any of Miss
Nilsson’s poems?”
“Yes, and 1 have one in this very
box,” said Mrs. Bland, taking up a
curious shell box. “The dear ciiild
sat down here one evening and dash
ed off these Hues to please her old
aunt, who is a devout Methodist and
asked her to write something on the
dying year.” Ou? of the verses runs:
At 1 »Bt the year has passed away.
Gone trom this world of pain.
Lord, lead uaiu thy path tu-day
And to begin the year again.
Noticing the signature I inquired
if the actress always used her pro
fessional name in private life,
"Always,” Hiid she, with strong
emphasis “When she left home she
bought a name —that of Lillian Ad
elaide Lessont, but when she deci
ded to go on the stage she changed
the last name to Nilsson,”
I saw in n recent sketch of your
d 'ugter in that her real
name was Lrzzi ■ Ann Bland.”
This proved to be an unfortunate al
lusion for with eyes flashing fire and
a most dramatic gesture Mrs. Bl ind
said: "If I could get at the woman
who wrote that article I would shoot
her. It w. s one tissue ot lies from
beginning to end.”
“Who yaveyour daughter her first
lesson iu dramatic art?” Thisallu
sion provr d to be as happy as the
others had been unhappy, for with a
graceful smile arid pardonable vanity
Mrs. B and drew hers It up and with
the s irne graceful w veof the hand
her daughtrr made fun ’iis, replied:
"I did myself .nd found it a great
pleasuri. Before she was eight ye irs
<>ll the little thing c )Uld recite paces
of Shakespear by heart and would
walk up and down the room wi'h
growing face, repeating in her child
ish treble and with a remarkable as
sumption of the roles the lines that
afterward she rendered b fore thous
ands of people. ”
LEWES’ LEPER
Interview Wth a Viet in of the
Dread Disease.
New York, Feb. 14.-A few days
ano a stranger came ashore at Lewes
Del trom a foreign vessel, He was
well dressed and his manner was
courteous. Gave a slight limp in his
gai’, arid an unnatural tinge to his
countenance. Tnere was nothing
outward to indicate the presence of a
peculiar malady. Upon reaching the
shore he sought out a private and
rather secluded boarding place and
there he remained, keeping aloof en
tirely from the people around him.
From significant hints dropped by
several of the crew who brought him
ashore it was whispered about that
the stranger was a leper, who for the
safety of his comrades on shipboard,
had been put ashore to snift tor him
self.
The stranger made no attempt at
denial, but, on the contrary, seemed
as anxious to avoid the approach of
his neighbors as they were to avoid
him. Tne extravagant stories that
went rapidly trom mouth to mouth
caused such agitation that a special
mee ing of the town council was de
cMed upon to consider ways and
means to rid the community of the
dangerous patient. He admitted to
a reporter that the suspicions of tbe
people were well founded He wis,
be frankly, but sorrowfully, admitt
a leper.
Ha gave his name as James At
wald. and eaid he was an English
man by birth, but up to last summer
ria l been tor yeirsa resident of Ha
vana, where the die nee, the germs of
which were latent in his system, de
veloped itself. His impression was
that be contracted the infirmity
while at Madagascar, where he and
others of the crew with whom he was
associated were forced to work side
by side wi’h a gang of natives, a
number of whom were known to be
diseased. Som-times tne color of bis
skin had assumed would blend until
his flesh actually appeared to him
almost as variegated as a garden in
June.
Tne horror of his position became
at the time almost unbearable and
he contemplated suicide «s a means
to escape his awf'il fate. He B'udie l
hrs case and having learned that ex
posure to cold w atnar was th-only
i M -atis by wnrc’i i’e ravages could be
mitigited.be determined t >go to Can
ada and enter a hospital in Torento.
It was wi h this object in view that
he obt-inei a bertu on the English
ship, Fum si. The cap’aiu, how
ever, suspected the nature of his ail-
I ment ami toid him he must leave the
ship at Wilmington. N. C At his
lrcqu°st, however, the cip'ain per
j mitted him to land nt L-wes inst-ad,
; from which place he intended to go
to Canada.
Mr. A’wald, during the interview,
1 displayed to the reporter the pecu j
liarities ot th" disease as developed
inh’sca»e. The mere rubbing of nis
hand created a flue, bran-like dust.'
Across the pa m the lines were 1
streaked brightly, so that the rays of
the sun. they shone like a web-work
of sliver. Tais peculiarity in his
flesh had communicated to the crow .
feet lines in his t--mpleß. and they,
like the palms of his hands, percepti
bly glistened. He left L-wes in obe- j
dience to the demand of the Town
j Council. I

states and Territories which ui h or settlers

examples of the products of the soil illustrative
of its adaptability to the various branches of
planting, farmii g and horticulture. The new
rai.way system of the great West will be invited
to make a similar exhibition at tbe Institute,that
the North may thus become for the time be-ng
the arei a in which the South and West may
compete with each other for that surplus popu
lation which yearly leaves New England in
search of homes elsewhere.
"Tne invitation is forwarded at this early day
that your Excellency may have ample time to
consider the subject and make such suggestions
there on to iho Legislature of your State as you
may deem appropriate, With high considera
tion, 1 am sir, yours most respectfully.
