are
By means of a recent discovery real rubies
now made by artificial process. These are no imi-
tations, but real rubies, made of the same substan-
ces natural rubies are made of, and carried through
the same chemical processes. They have all the
hardness and all the rich beauty of the natural
stone and are in every way identical with it, only
these artificial stones are much cheaper.
We have a pretty lot of these stones on
now. Alsp a great variety of other precious

HIS FIRST VISIT TO MECCA
Khedive of Egypt Only Recently Hae
Been Given Permission to See
Holy City.
The khedive of Egypt is to make
hist -first pilgrifnage to Mecca this
winter, and this is only possible be-
ause Abdul Hamid no longer fills
Ihe I tirkish throne. Although the
khedive has long wished to visit the
holy places, the late sultan always
refused permission to his vassal, he-
:a.uso he was afraid the Egyptian
monarch won Id gain prestige and
influence among the tribes of Arabia
who would then be liable to make
themseljes more troublesome than
ever to the Turkish government.
1 he new sultan has gladly given-bin
consent for ■
hoping that the khedive may influ-
ence the turbulent tribes for good,
making them more loyal and law-
abiding. At present the poorer class
of pilgrims to Mecca too often fall
a prey to the wild Bedouin tribes
who plunder and murder them with
impunity. Accompanied by his
mother, the khedive will start for
Mecca some time this month, aboard
Ins yacht, arriving at the holy city
via the port of Jeddah. At the con-
clusion of the pilgrimage he will
preside at the great feast of Courgan
Bairam, held at .Mecca
Thaddeaus Rich, concert master
of the Philadelphia orchestra, was
discussing things musical a few’
nights ago with a number of 'friends
when they started telling of funny
things (hat had happened to mu-
sicians.
hen I was studying in Bos-
ton, said Rich, “they list'd to tell
a talc about a man named Harper,
an odd old character, who played a
trombone in one of the small thea-
ters there. One time they were re-
hearsing a new overture.
“Throughout the piece, Harper
was a little behind the rest of the
men. Before they started in a sec-
ond time the leader reproved Harper
for not coming in more regularly
with the other players.*
‘A\ lien they attempted it again,
Harper came in as usual two or
three 1 teats behind time. The leader
stopppd. and, after letting loose a
lot of profanity, demanded to know
if the trombonist knew ho was play-
ing about half n dozen notes behind
the others.
“Harper nodded. ‘That’s all
I'iglit. said 1^/I can catch up with
the others any time I want to.’”—
Philadelphia Telegraph.

FOR COUNTY JUDGE
T. J. White submits his name
this week to the voters of the
county as a candidate for re-elec-
tion to the office of county judge*
Thus far, we. believe Judge
White has the field to himself
and the prospects for his election
are certainly fine. But even if
the Judge had an opponent it
would take a mighty good man
to defeat him. as his record, so
far as we have been able to
learn, has been a very cred-
itable one indeed.
FOR COUNTiTsUPERINTENDENT
G. W. McDonald announces for
county superindendent. Prof.
McDonald is too well known to
Santa Anna people to need a rec-
ommendation from the News.
Having served several years as
superindentendent of the Santa
Anna public schools, to the
satisfaction of all the patrons,
and having followed this up with
a splendid record in the office he
is now seeking he can certainly
courtt on a large vote in this pre-
cinct, regardless of any opposi-
tion he might have.
Pedantic Old Gentleman (to res-
taurant waiter)—I believe it is im-
proper to speak disrespectfully of

sir.

A student in n mediesl college
while learning to use the ophthal-
moscope, was told to examine and
report upon the condition of a man’s
eye. The doctor-to-be adjusted the
instrument and looked long and
searchingly into the subject’s left
optic.
“Most remarkable!” he ejaculated,
with a surprised look. Readjusting
the ophthalmoscope, he again care-
fully scrutinized the eye.
“Very extraordinary indeed!” he
exclaimed. “I never heard of such
an eye. This must be some new die- y
rase. Have you ever had an expert
opinion on it?”
“Once,” was (he laconic
