The Value of the Ruby.

The ruby is valued highest when 1T
contains the least azure. The largest
ruby that history speaks of belonged to
Elizabeth of Austria, the wife Of
Charles TX. 1t was almost as big as a
hens egg. The virtues attributed to
rubies are to Danish sadness, to repress
luxury and to drive away annoying
thoughts. At the same time 1t SYM
bolizes cruelty, anger and carnage, as
well as boldness and bravery. A change
In its color announces calamity, but
when the trouble is over it regains its
primitive luster.

Baltimore, March 24.-As a result
of the meeting here of a joint COM

Church South the general conference
of the Northern church will be urged
to adopt at it's next meeting plan for

been adopted by the general confer

Alleged Forqer.

Fargo, N. D., March 24.-Albert
Saunders broke Jail here during the
night. He pleaded guilty last week to
0 $500 forgery at Casselton and was
sentenced to five years in the peniten-
tiary. Saunders sawed through an
iron floor of the bathroom to unoccu-
pied cells underneath and gained en-
trance to the corridor through an I'M
locked door in the big cellroom. His
escape was made from window in
the end of the corridor and indica-
tons are that Saunders had an &C
complete outside.
A reward has been offered and an
hesstigation is in progress in an

MAY VOTE ON 1T SOON.
oIeomargarine Bill Will Receive the
Senate's Attention This Week.

Washington, March 24.-The oleo-
margarine bill will receive the greater
share of the attention of the senate
during the present week, but if there
should be a time when no one is pre-
pared to speak on it, Senator Proctor,
who will have charge of it, will give
way to the Chinese exclusion bill,
which is in the hands of Senator Pen
rose. Senator Proctor expresses the
opinion that the final vote on the bill
will not be long postponed, and it is
understood that the members of the
committee on agriculture who are OPP
posed to the bill will not contend for
many days for debate. Senator Proc
tor has already presented to them the
desirability of fixing a time for vote,
and while many senators have made
no opposition to this proposition Sen
ator Bailey thus far has objected. The
present indications are that the bill
will not be before the senate great
length of time.

Washington, March 24.-There is a
bare possibility that the fight over the
question of Cuban reciprocity will be
transferred to the floor of the house
the coming week. The probabilities,
however, are that the reciprocity res
olution introduced by Mr.. Payne, the
floor leader of the majority, after the
action of the Republican caucus last
week, will not be called up until the
following week, though upon this point
no definite decision has been reached
by the leaders. The present pro-
gramme is to take up the army bill
after the disposal of the Moos-Rhea
contested election case. Several days
will be consumed in general debate on
this bill as the Democrats are inclined
to use it as text for speeches in op,
