Three Kinds Of Rubies.

There are three kinds of rubies, the
oriental ruby, the spinel ruby, and the
balas ruby. The first is the only true
one. The latter differ considerably in
comparison from the first. The true
is composed almost exclusively Of
alumina. In the latter are only seven
tenths Of alumina, the remainder be-
ing chiefly magnesia. The color,
moreover, is due partially TO the oxide
OF chromium. substance of which the
genuine ruby has not a trace.
In commerce the balas ruby has
much inferior value to the spinel.
This is generally of vivid poppy-red
color, the balas is Of violet rose, al
though Pegu has furnished white and
white violet spinels, and Sudermania

neous would be 4 classification Of gems

The primitive form Of the spinel ruby
is like that Of the diamond. eight sided.
which distinguishes it at once from
the oriental stone. The color of the
genuine rdby is that of the arterial
blood, or pigeons blood, as it is called.
1t is extremely hard. and, after the
sapphire, is the hardest Of the eorun-
dumS, which render it difficult to un-
derstand why the earth so rarely gives
1t up. Its tint is as beautiful by arti-
fetal light as by day, and its powers

lief credited it with power of emitting
light. The ancients even supposed
that it would shine through clothing

To Push the President.
NIIlWaukea snnIinnI.

There Ism circulation significant
address by the National Association
Of Democratic clubs. IT. purpose
rs to bring pressure TO bear on Mr.
Cleveland and a Democratic con.
! gress to carry out, to the very end.
the pledge Of the Democratic plat
form to destroy the protection
system absolutely. 1t repeats, with
emphasis, the declaration that all
protective duties are unconstilution-
al, aud it is more specific than the
Chicago platform. ItimpIies grave
doubt whether Mr.. Cleveland and
Congress will carry out the distinct
! pledge to remove the last trace Of
protection, unless Democratic clubs
are formed everywhere for pressure.
"Ihe people, 1t is trne," says the
| address, shave selected their instru.
ments, an executive and congress,
to make this battle for them; but
the battle is to be made and is yet
70 be won" The object of the
address is "to urge the Democratic
people" TO join the pressure clubs
until the fruits of the late victory
are gathered aud garnered." The
necessity for pressure clubs "has
been too recently demonstrated by
events 10 require further comment"
There are grave fears among
Democrats and fond hopes among
Republicans that Mr.. Cleveland
leans more to the defeated than TO
the adopted tariff pIanl, of The Chi.
cogo platform, aud that he does not
contemplate an abandonment Of the
protection policy; that he has not
the least idea Of promoting a purely
revenue tariff policy These fears
and hopes have several sources. The
selection Of his immediate advisers
is such as to repel the notion that
purely revenue tariff policy is in his
mind; and the sudden development
of the anti-siIver issue to the sus
pension Of all mention of the
tariff. 1t Is said that Mr.. Wattersou
(who is signer of the pressure
club address) aud other leading
Democrats, do not believe that Mr..
Cleveland favors tariff for revenue
only as practical aim of his adj
miuisuation.
Properly named, this is an address
10 force Mr.. Cleveland 10 carry out
the demand OF the Chicago platform
for the entire destruction of the
protection system.

houses in this city, Kansas City, Mo-, and
New York, under the firm name of Ben
jamin Mclean & Co. have been attached.
The Hicks Car company, in which Ty-
ler is said to own one-half interest, was
also levied upon.
The Metropolitan National bank at
Kansas City, which precipitated the rush
upon Tyler, claims in one count that he
fraudulently obtained $4,000 Of the
amount attached from the bank, and in
another that the balance of the money
which it seeks to recover, $24,300 being
stipulated in the attachment, 10 an open

The territory embraced in the representa-

object of the congress is to discuss all

tives to congress. Thence irrigation,
arid lands, silver, public lands, the policy
of the secretary of the interior, Pacific

important questions come up in body
composed entirely of western men. This

Worlds Fair Rates.

CHICAGO, April 24.-There is much diff
ference of opinion regarding Worlds fair
rates. Some railroad men say that the
Santa Fe's withdrawal does not mean a
cut of rates. Chairman Caldwell has not
yet approved the $40 rate from Colorado,
and the Rock Island and Burlington may
or may not agree to it.
The cutting of rates from Wichita, To-
peka and other points west of the Mis-
souri, is given as the real cause Of the
Santa Fe's withdrawal. President Rein
hart of the Santa Fe says his road has no
intention of cutting rates.
The Santa Fe railroad announces q
round trip fare from San Francisco to
Chicago for 500, good for nine months.
The fare one way, limited to con-
tinuous trip will be $50. Return tickets
the same.
