SMITH SAYS NO.
Reported Sale of the Cincinnati
Commercial Gazette.


CINCINNATI, O., Oct. 29.-A rumor
with an appearance of some foundation
in fact to-day is that the Commercial
Gazette will change owners Nov. 1. 1t
is claimed that ex-Gov. Alger, of Michi-
gan, will be one of the hackers of the
paper, and that ex-Gov. Foraker will
dictate its policy. The rumor also mas
it that John R. Mclean was an unsuc-
cessful bidder for the paper. That a
deal of some kind was on in this copnec-
ton has been rumored for several days
past. To-day. however, is the first that
any seeming authenticity characterized
the report. Richard Smith, one of the
owners of the Commercial Gazette, was
told the story by reporter. and said:
81 have heard that sort of stories before.
but rest assured they are false. 1 think
would know little about it if such a
change was to occur."

been large importers of the woolens and

against the goods which the firm import.
MIR. Bernheimer further said: "The
immediate results of the Mckinley tariff
account must be to drive out of business
many large importing houses which.
like ours, have handled the less costly
lines of foreign goods. 1t does not
affect the importers of the finest goods
in SO great measure. These manu-
factures are demanded by people who
can afford to pay for them. and, more
over, the ad valOrem percentage of ad-
vance in duty is much less"

COSTLY POSTAGE STAMPS.
Over a Million of Dollars is the
Price of One Collection.

1t may be said of postage stamps, what
cannot be said of many articles of vertu
and bric-a-brac, that good collection
is sound investment for money, for
while pictures, china and other things
are subject to tanciful changes of price,
the marketable value of rare stamps is
determined, and must increase with the
flrlx Of time. AS stamp becomes rarer
and rarer it must go up in price, and an
investor who puts his. money in Stamps
may rely, provided he purchases in the
right quarter, upon getting his money
back, and more besides, when he dis
poses of his collection.
A study of the comparative prices of
rare stamps to-day with the prices they
fetched % few years ago would lead to
this conclusion. Stamps, by the nature
of such things, are always increasing in
value, and specimens which were com
mon enough ten years ago are now not
easy to obtain, and as they become rare1
and rarer it is natural they should also
become dearer.
A famous collector who is collecting
English stamps has an exclusively Eng
lish collection that is worth in the open
market $4,000. This sum would be
realized if the collection were "broken
up" and sold piecemeal, and there are
several collections in this country
which range in value from $4,000 to
$780, What is undoubtedly the
most valuable collection in the world is
the property Of a German gentleman
residing in Paris. The holder of this
wonderful collection would not take
Al. 25O, 900 forit. Money would not pur-
chase it. 1t is simply unique. Yet
there are gaps in this collection,
the owner Of which is still one of the
most enthusiastic collectors, always on
the lookout for fresh acquisitions.
With rare stamps reaching these great
values, and large fortunes locked up in
stamp albums, we neei not insist upon
the necessity of guarding against forged
specimens. The high prices which the
rarest specimens of stamps now realize
will explain how it is that the trade in
forgcries has become what it is in these
DAYS. We have recently seen fair re.
production of the Britannia issue OF
Mauritius 1850 blue value not in
dicated), perforated and water marked.
The original Of this stamp was never
;ssned perforated. But the word Gre
nr;nt" or "specimen on a stamp is
soon effaced by the forger with his
chemicals. Indeed, we have ourselves
seen examples Of used stamps, regummed,
with all post-oflice marks obliterated
and to all intents and purposes having
the appearance of unused stamps. The
same treatment has been adopted with
regard to the Cape of Good Hope, New
Zealand. Queensland, India and other
British dependencies. With the can
ceiling marks deftly removed all those
stamps would pass for new. -Bric-a-

In the Liberal Arts section of the
Paris Exposition of 1889 was case ex-
hlbited by DIR. Thomas Wilson, archm-
oiogist of the United States National
Museum, containing beautiful string
OF pearls found in an Indian mound.
These We're obtained by Mr.. w. X. More
head In the Potter mound, Ross county,
Ohio.
In the collection of unios beuueathed
to the United States National Museum
by the late DIR. Isaac Lee is ahemispberi-
cal piece of candle greace which had
been inserted in the mollusks in the
hope OF having it coated with pearly
nacre, and of producing pearls. 1t was,
however, only partly coated with rich
PINK pearly nacre. During the New
Jersey pearl excitement of 1856, there
were found inserted in the mollusks a
number OF turned pearl buttons which
had been placed there for the same pur-
pose. These We're partly coated with a
secretion, and were secured to the shell.
1t was about this time that the scientists
OF Europe were greatly Interested in the
number OF shells which were received
IRON China containing small images OF
sBuddha. These figures were originally
moulded in tin foil, and then placed be-
tween the shell and mantle of the ami
NAL. The shells we're then returned to
their natural beds OF bitches, and after
time layer of mother of pearl coated
these figures and attached them to the
Shell. These were then out out and
sold. They We're also shown as a result

at the international Fisheries Ex-
hibit, held in Berlin in 1880, were shown
the results of experiments undertaken
IN Germany toward the production of
artificial pearls in unios. Flat tin fig
ures and other objects were introduced,
but the shape of the article was such
that the mantle did not fit closely
around them.
In 1850 Heinrich Muller, German,
conceived the idea of making small
fancy articles out of the shells, which
proved so successful that the German
Government allowed him to take the
shells out of the beds themselves.
The white and reddish hue tinted
pearl oysters were especially desired
for this purpose, and an industry has
been established for the manufacture of
pearl mussel pocketbooks, and hand
satchels The structure and translu-
cheney Of the shells are such that they
can be polished quite thin, and figure
pasted on the inside can be seen through
About fifty dollars ton is offered in
Europe for unio shells of good pink
color, whereas $3.50 to 800 ton is
paid for the shells of the true pearl oys-
sters. II New York Sun.
