A RUSSIANS VISION.
1t Forms a Curious Contrast to the
Cars Professions OF
Peace.

In curious contrast with the pro-
fessed love of peace of the present car
of Russia comes the publication of q
pamphlet. The War of the Future in
the Year 1S-." the vision of Russian
patriot. which WAS received with the
greatest interest in Russia proper and
was translated into French ard German
Immediately after its appearance in
Russia. says the Boston Herald. The
story describes war Of Russia against
Great Britain. Italy. etc. starting from
the supposition that Russia possesses
naval port in the Arctic ocean not far
from the North cape and a much
stronger feet than now.
The author is hiding under the pseu-
donym "A Bjelomo" (meanirg White
sea). but his disguise is rather thin. for
everybody knows that Admiral Mako
roll is behind it. Only last year the car
authorized the use of 10000. 900 rubles
toward the opening Of Jekaterinport,
on the so-called Murmannic coast OF
the Arctic. splendid harbor, which. on
account of the influence of the gulf
stream. is open the year round. and to-
ward the building of additional men-of-
war. The minister of the navy recently
went with Admiral Makaroff 10 visit
this new port. and railroads will be built
to connect it with Archangel and ST.
Petersburg. the building of these rail-
roads being now assured beyond
doubt.
Would this not prove that the car
has but small hopes of the ultimate vic
tory of his peace projects?

said Taylor.
@What for?" deman ded the minister.
@Well. you're within sixty feet Of
my ealoon," said Ia! lor, "and it won't
do. Can't have it. There's too
much interference. Can't haze my
business broken up"
The minister was in a quandary.
He conaulted with his congregation,
comprising many wealthy families N
the vicinity. The temperance people
were asked to keep quiet. but they re-
fused. Then Taylor issued MI ulti.
matum. He said that unless the tenn
pei ance advocates Withdrew he
wonll turn the lock al the door Of
the church and b,ther his head no

FRAUDULENT CURIos.
A Bona Eide Collection OF Any De-
scriDtlon l. Now Herd to
Obtain.

The hunter of cu-ins needs a careful
training If he is to t".:Id up bona fiie
col!rc ON. THIS is not SO easy rs it
seems, for the imitation Of curios has
been brought to an art of itself. There
are certain factories IL Europe in Which
oil kinds of works of art that are likely
to interest the collector are manufac-
tured. The stamping Of China with old
marks. the treating of arms and armor
with acids to make them look ancirnt,
the staining of carved worries with oil
to make them yellow, and their sub
lection to heat to make them crack, are
all SO cleverly done as often to deceive
the expert. The man who is engaged
to drill holes in imitation of worm
holes in pieces of furniture is almost
IN artist. and in hungary there is fac
tory where fairly passable imitation
OF Dresden china is made. Science has
been enlisted to carry out one Of the
most profitable branches Of this taking
of curios. There has lately been dis
covered disease which eats away
bronze and gives it an appearance of
antiquity. All old metallic objects in
which copper and certain alloys has
been used. are liable to be attacked by
this eorroding affection. Skilled fab
ricators of antiquities are known to in
oculate their reproductions with spots
of bronze disease. Many amateurs have
an idea that they may pick up price
less work of art or curio fer n mere
song. and they look in at out-of-the-way
auction rooms for that purpose. This
is the chance for the forgers. and in the
majority of cases they land their game.

QUAY IS AGAIN
 IN THE SADDLE His Ticket Goes Through in Har-
 risburg Convention. BROWN FOR SUPREME JUDGE Col. J. P. Bennett, of the Tenth Pennsyl- vania Unanimously Named For State Treasurer Flynn Sounds
 the Only Discordant Note.
BROWN FOR SUPREME JUDGE

Harrisburg, Pa, August H.-The follow ing ticket was nominated today by the re- publican state conventions:
 Supreme Court Judge-J. Hay Brown, of Lancaster.
 Superior Court Judge-Josiah R. Adams, of Philadelphia.
 State Treasurer-Lieutenant-C Colonel J. P. Barnett, of the Tenth Pennsylvania regi- ment.
 The only discordant note in the conven- tion was sounded by Senator William Flynn, of Pittsburg, chairman of the anti Quay organization in the last legislature. MT. Flynn opposed the plank in the plat form endorsing the appointment of United States Senator Quay by Governor Stone. A roll call was taken on the adoption of the platform as whole and it was adopted by large majority. The anti-Quay dele gates generally voted against the adoption of the platform and the nomination of MY. Adams.
 Before the result of the ballot for su- preme court judge was announced, the friends of Judge Archibald, of Scranton, and former Attorney-General Palmer, of Wilkesbarre, moved to make MT. Browns nomination unanimous. Superior Court Judge Dinner Bebber of Philadelphia, was named in opposition to MT: Adams and received the votes of many of the anti-Quay delegates. The nomina- ton of Colonel Barnett was made by ae- clamation. Senator Quay was a delegate from Beaver county. His friends cheered end applauded as he took seat along the cen ter aisle. He remained until after the meeting of the resolutions committed, and then quietly retired. State Senator c. L. Magee, of Pittsburg, was conspicuous by his absence. He is convalescent from a severe illness and by the advice of his physician he did not attend the conven- ton.

THE TEXAS CROPS
A Reduction in the Estimate for the Sea
 sons Cotton Yield

Galveston, Tex, August 24.-The News tomorrow will print the last of its series of crop reports for the past season. Reports from 993 correspondents covering 152 coun- ties of the state show an average percent age of reduction of yield of 13.S compared with the crop of 1S9S- 99 which was $500, GOO bales. This percentage of reduction would indicate yield of S1OO,OOO for the season of 1S99-1900. Many parts of the state are at present suffering from a severe drought. If this drought continues the yield for 1S99- 1900 will fall below the present indications. The acreage put in cotton during the past spring was per cent less than in the spring of 1898.
 There was an increase of five percentage in the corn acreage. While the crop has suffered some from drought the state has made the biggest corn crop in its history.
