VALUE OF RUBIEs.
Create Than That of Dfamonds-A
Burmese Law.

ITO the question, Which is the most
valuable precious stone?' min people out
of every ten, at least, will, without the
slightest hesitation, reply. The dia-
mond, = said a dealer in gems to the
writer. but the value Of a good-sized
diamond cannot approach that of a ruby
of the correct color n similar dimen-
sions.
1.-THE worth of small rubies-stones that
are of less than carat-is, if anything,
rather less than that of diamonds of a
like description, but the rare occurrence
of large specimens of that dark carmine
tint which is looked upon as the sine
qua non of a perfect ruby causes the
value of these gems to increase in a
far greater proportion than in the case
of diamonds. Rubies weighing more than
four carats are so exceptional that when
a perfect one of five carats is brought
"a the market it will command ten times
as high a sum as a diamond of the same
weight, while rubies OF six caratS, with
out crack or flaw, and OF the proper
color, would, in all probability, bring as
high a price as So. 1000 per carat, or fif-
teen times as much as a diamond OF
like size and faultlessness.
All over the East rubies are regarded
with the greatest possible favor, and SO it
has been from the earliest times of which
we have any record. The finest specimens
are found in Burmah. and from time
immemorial it has been a law OF that
country that all rubies of above a GER
tain size are the property of the King,
who ever may AVE been fortunate
This day there are concealed in Burmah
among the treasures which the British
invasion caused to be hidden away, rubies
of far greater size and value than n
which nave up to now been seen either
in Europe or this country.
..The law which gave fine rubies to the
ruler of the land has undoubtedly caused
the destruction In modern times of many
magnificent specimens of this gem, for
the finders of larger stones than usual
have the opportunity was fav-
orable. broken them into fragments, each
weighing less than a carat, to insure
themselves the possession of several ru-
bies in~eomparably less valuable. it is
frl1e. than the original in which they
were once united, but still their own IN
stead of the King's."-Nashington Star.

RosenthaI the Pianist.

Rosenthal, the giant among modern pi-
anists. has most successfully inaugurated
his second American tour. At his first
concert, in Carnegie Music Hall, Noyem-
Der 10, 1896, the enthusiasm of the ire
mendously large audience was unbound
ed. Over and over again the great artist
was called out and vociferously cheered,
and after the last piece, the Hungarian
Fantastic the vast audience did not
move until he played several encores. Be-
yond a doubt, Rosenthal will this season
be the lion of the day.
He has made wonderful strides since
his last visit here, his bewilderins tech

tone and his subtle conceptions are the
wonder of the present time. Sometimes
will reappear in New York in four piano

It is may well cause wonder in view OF
the habitual recklessness of drivers and
Of horse-owners in the selection of the
people whom they allow to drive for them.
Even grown men seem to lake a pride in
Drawing collision with the trolley cars,
and min out OF ten pay no more atten-
ton to bicyclists than If they were flies.
There are, no doubt, some exceptions,
but az a general rule it u be said, the
motormen of the trolley cars are careful
men, taking every possible pains to avoid
accident. Assuredly if they were not, the
streets would be strewn with wrecks. 1t
as impossible to take a ten minute ride
through the streets without witnessing
some case in which some wagon driver
suddenly swing into the track right in
front Of the fender, or comes galloping
down a side street and dashes across the
track. only escaping demolition through

torInan bringing the car to a sudden stop.
But the worst evil of all Is the driving
of vehicles by small boys. There never
was any place where this was so reck-
lessly prevalent as here. Grocery and
butchers carts dash about the streets,
especially upon the Hill, in charge of
boys who are not fit to take care OF a
go-carf. The present remarks are imme-
dfately suggested by an incident which
occurred in Lafayette. this morning, and
which was witnessed by a reporter for
ssThe News The large and heavy and
handsome delivery wagon of a prominent
grocer, Drawn by a good horse, came sud-
denly dashing out Of a side street and
started to cross Communipaw avenue
just as a down town trolley car came
along at good speed. The nlotorman
gave q cry and banged his bell. The
hearts of the passengers stood still for a

force. and the car and the g both

most in contact with the horses front
legs. Then the passengers saw that on
the drivers seat of the wagon were
perched three little boys, the Oldest not
over twelve. They seemed to have no
realization Of what had been so narrowly
avoided. They were laughing and joking
among themselves.
There is Al ordinance In New York and
every well governed city to prevent the
driving OF vehicles by children. There
should be a similar one here, and the
police should rigidiy enforce it. Sooner
or latersif the present recklessness con-
tinues, something calamitous will happen.

Mr.. Barney Foley. saioon-keeper and
wind bag, ex-partner of Pat CahiH the

The city is indebted to Mr.. Feeney for all
that is good in the present organization
