PICTURE BUYERS WARNED.
Noted counterfeiters q Paintings Ar
Hard at Work In Europe.

Hard at Work in Europe.
In Anticipation of the rush of half
informed picture buyers at the Paris
exposition the counterfeiters of paint
ings by well-known artists are hard
at work. Mr.. Thurber Of this city has
been notified by correspondent in
Amsterdam that that city and also
Brussels is full of spurious old mas
tiers, and the case is instanced Of a
picture that was sold a year ago which
mas turned up again bearing the
name OF more famous painter than
It's author and priced accordingly.
From another source it is reported
that two of the most famous falsifiers
OF pictures in Europe are rushed with
orders for their specialties. The Lon
don picture factories are turning out
old English paintings by the dozen.
Everything that will bring good
price is being counterfeited. They
are principally sent to Paris, where
shady dealers are quick to pick them
up. The dealers who do not scruple
10 forward this dishonest traffic do
not as rule sell the pictures them
selves, but they are peddled about by
irresponsible but glib and we'll dressed
persons, who always tell the same
story. The picture belongs to some
private owner who is pressed for
money, but who desires to avoid pub
lic1ty. For this reason his name can
not be given. He could sell to a
dealer, but the dealer would want to
make too much profit. He would want
to pay $4,000 and charge $4,000. The
owner prefers to sell to collector
OF taste and judgment for $4,000. He
will even. being in straits for cash,
take $4,000. Finally, after much par
ley, the picture is sold for $4,000, and
the new owner congratulates himself
on having obtained a masterpiece by
famous painter for one-third it's val
ue This is sample case, though
the figures are usually smaller. 1t is
easy to give painting the look OF
age. 1t is only to mix dirt with the
paints and with the varnish. Bad
varnish died quickly produces deep
cracks, and these can be made to APP
pear old cracks by putting another
coat of varnish over them. There is
a sure way of avoiding being caught
by such tricks; it is to buy of a re-
sponslble dealer and pay the actual

From letters from America it is be-

NEGRO EXHIBIT FOR PARIS.
Sent by the Atlanta, Ca, University to
the Paris Exposition.

1 sent by the Atlanta, Ca, University to-
the Paris Exposition.
Some months ago the Atlanta (Ga. u
| university sent negro exhibit to
Paris for the exposition ands1ast week
second negro exhibit, with the same
destination, was forwarded by the
same university. 1t is said by the At
lanta papers to be an exhaustive So
| cial study of the Georgia negro, who,
as Georgia has the largest negro pop
ulation of any state, is taken as fair
representative of the race in this coln-
try. 1t is illustrated by maps, coll
ored charts and other devices. The !
facts shown are decidedly encourag-
ing not only in regard to the material
progress of the negro but as to his
intellectual progress as WELL The in
crease in numbers has been steady
from 1890 to the present time, while
the proportion in relation to the
whites has also grown from 81 per
cent in 1900 to 46 per cent in 1890,
there being in 1890 over $4,000 negro
residents in Georgia. The freedmen
of Georgia and their sons own at pres
ent 1,062,225 acres of landau increase
of over 100000 acres since 1S74-and
their taxable property is assessed at
about $13,500, 900, having increased in
value nearly $9,OOO,OOO since 1875. In
the various occupations the agricul-
tural laborers are still in the great
majority, although there is practically
no occupation or profession that is not
| represented by few at least Hit
eracy has decreased from 80 per cent
in 1860 to so per cent in 1900, and the
number of children in the public
schools has increased in the same Pc
Rod from seven to nearly 100000
There are $500 negro public schools,
with property valued at $196,01O, and
about $500 negro public school teach
ers. The number of negro students
in different courses-business, classic
al, professional, scientific, normal and
industrial-varies from twelve in BUSH
ness to 1882 in industrial courses.
There are many other facts shown.
For instance. the migration of negroes

Want Their Nationality

Sir John Henry de Villiers, chief
justice of the Cape Of Good Hope, has
been in London several weeks quietly
watching the tendencies of imperial
politics. He says that all Dutch South
Africa would bitterly resent the an
nexation of the republics. He adds:
This war was forced on President
intemperate in tone-he made mis-
take when he sent it-but the steady
tide of British aggression threatened
to overbear him, and his final diplo-
matte effort was born of evaporation.
What Mr.. Chamberlain asked him to
give up was the equivalent of Dutch
independence. The story that Presi-
dents Kruger and Steyn. aspired to
drive the British into the sea is ia
BILE. All the Dutch leaders ever want
ed was to preserve the Dutch nation
ality. That is all they want to-day.
But they cannot have it. They have
fought good fight, they have de-
served to continue as people, but
their. independence will be ground to
| powder under the iron heel of war.
When the British field marshal, brill
Eliant general and a brave and good
man, shall have flung his flag above
the seat of government at Pretoria, as
he already has done at Bloemfontein,
/ and shall have brought tho federal
patriots under the rule OF Great Brit
ain, we shall witness the conclusion
Of a dark chapter in the history OF
human greed. "-E. p. Bell in Chicago

Every year there is In England great

of which receives prize, supposedly

necessitates an encampment at Bisley,
and the date set for this encampment
was the week upon which the Chris
