portant Duty.

charged with having betrayed Bertha
Bailey under promise of marriage was

an appearance.
The City Attorney explained to the
Judge that he had heard something had
appeared in the papers to the effect
that the couple had been properly mar
Tied.
Justice Davis looked dumfounded
when he heard the news. and intimated
that if the rumor was true further pro-
ceedings in court would be barred.
The City Attorney suggested that
the matter go over until this morning,
in order that he might ascertain
whether the marriage really had taken
place. and it was so ordered by the
court

THE CzAR's CURIOSITY.
He Destroyed Doll to See How the
Mechanism Worked,

The heavy burden OF autocracy has
not destroyed all the boyish instincts in
Nicholas ii. s disposition, as the follow
ing anecdote, heard at a dinner party
given in honor of a gentleman of NJ.
F'aure's escort in his late Journey,
proves. The President. after having
searched all the best Partisan shops to
find some toys worthy of the two little
Grandduchesses' acceptance, and, hav-
ing bought the everlasting golden rattle
for Miss Tatiana, was in despair for
something out Of the common to give
Miss Olga. He at last chose two Won
derful dolls, one got up as an elegant
lady. the other as an overdressed little
girl; and, after much difficulty, most
complicated piece of machinery was in
serted, thanks to which, when wound up.
the lady and her daughter begin ludi-
crous piece of conversation, which is
finished by the little girl crying because
she is not allowed to ride a donkey on
account of her gauze dress.
The baby Grandduchess was delight
ed, but not more so than her father. who,
it appears, spent an hour on the floor
with the child, listening to the squeaky
dialogue between the dolls. But the

AS for the Emperor, he remained an in
slant in the boudoir after her departure
with the two clever artificial ladies who
had taken his fancy, While the Empress,
NJ Faure and some ladies and gentle
men Of the court We're talking in the
next room. Suddenly a strange noise
like that of an internal machine was
heard, followed by a loud cry of dismay,
and everybody rushed to see what it
was.
There was the Emperor, safe and
sound, but with a dismal face, looking
at the dolls which he had partly un-
dressed to find out the secret hidden in
their bosoms, while the dolls were chat
tering away as if they would never stop.
The Empress, unable to restrain her
temper, snatched up the carpeted board
on which We're standing and shaking
the two precious ladies, and, after nav
ing crushed her husband with Wither-
ing eye, she said to a gentleman near
her: please send this away; 1T Is too
bad indeed. The Emperor spoils every

funny that she could not help laugh

The visit was a purely personal af-

ception. Mr.. Waymire, according to
Mr.. Carrere, proved, an eminent success
as an after dinner orator, and was
heartily applauded at the conclusion OF
his remarks.
Mr.. CaTrere says the school is excel
lently managed at the present time, and
is in a fair way to become a credit TO
the State. He was given the freedom
OF the institution, and questioned great
many of the boys when nobody else was
present, and each and all Of them spoke
highly of the Assistant Superintendent,

WHAT RUBIEs ARE WORTH.
Interesting Facts About the Value
Of These Gems.

ITO the question, Which is the most
valuable precious stone?' nine people
out Of every ten, at least, will, without
hesitation, reply, The diamond said
dealer in gems. But the value of a
good-sized diamond cannot approach
that of a ruby Of the correct color and
similar dimensions.
THE worth of small rubies-stones
that are Of less than a carat-is, If any
thing, rather less than that of diamonds
of a like description; but the rare oc-
currence of large specimens of that
carmine tint which is looked upon as
the sine qua non of perfect ruby,
causes these gems to increase in 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 to the market, it will command
ten times as high a sum as a diamond
of the same weight. while rubies of six
carats, without crack or flaw and Of the
proper color, would, in all probability,
bring as high price as $1,000 per
carat, or fifteen times as much as
diamond of like size and faultlessness.
"All over the East rubies are regard
ed 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
above certain size are the property Of
the King, whoever may have been for
tunate enough 70 find them. 1t is
thought to this day there are concealed
in Burmah, among the treasures which
the British invasion caused to be hid
den away, rubies Of far greater value
and size than any which have up to
now been seen either in Europe or this
country. ry.'-PhiladeIpha Press.

The Calhoun Opera Company gave
the comic opera "Amorita" last night
at the Metropolitan Theater in a man.
ner and on scale that would have
pleased the most fastidious audience in
much larger city. The music Of the
opera is fine throughout, there being 4
number of pleasing solos, duets and
trios, while the opera abounds IN fine
choruses. Miss Beatrice Mckenzie, the
prinla donna soprano, as Amorita, won
instant recognition Of her ability. Her
voice is even, clear and pure in quality,
round and full and her technique ex
cellent, and free from the tricks and
mannerisms necessary to conceal less
perfect voice. Her duets with Miss
harrington and Mr.. Lyding were re-
ceived with generous need of ap-
plause, as was their trio with Mr. Webb
and the quartet with Mr.. Walker. Geo.
Lyding, as Fra Bombarda rendered his
role well, although the part gave him
few opportunities to display tire finer
quality Of his voice until th'. duet with
Anlorita in the third scene. Mountjoy
Walker, as CaStrucci, proved himself a
comedian of a high order, while Miss
Maud Allison, as his wife, Perpetna,
played her part with skill and spirit.
Miss Adele harrington, as Angelo, the
lover Of Amorita showed herself the
poSsessor of an excellent ccntralto
voice, which blended well in the duets
and trios as we'll as showing to good
advantage in her solo in the first act.
Edward Webb, as Spiracanni, the town
fop, played his part with good Judg
ment and Carlton King, as the con-
spirator LoriiviZe, made plenty Of fun
by his antics in his two brief entries.
John Barry, as the Moorish Embassa-
dor, had a big bass voice commensur-
ate with his size and importance and
Jack Allison as Patruccio showed him
self to be an Irish comedian Of no mean
ability and created much laughter The
company is a well balanced one, having
an excellent chorus with more than the
average of pretty girls in it, and the
chorus at the end Of the second act so
well pleased the audience that the cur
tain had to be run up in response to an
encore. Nor was the orchestra the
least important part Of the perform
ance for it possessed the quality not al
ways found in an orchestra Of subor-
dinating the Instrumentation to the vo-
cal portion Of the opera and performing
its proper part as an accompaniment
1t is to be regretted that a better
house did not greet so excellent and
painstaking a company as an encour-
agement for it to return to us al some
future time. Nor must the scenery be
forgotten. The palace scene in the
second act was very fine. and was only
eclipsed by the moonlight scene with
the light Of the distant town in the
third. which evoked burst Of applause
when the curtain rose on it.
