Tricks in "Antiquary" Trade.

Paris Letter to the London Truth.
 'I went some time ago to see avowedly spurious antiquities in workshop in the Rue de Turenne. They were shown to me as forgeries too clever to be detected. The middleman who hoped to circulate them as genuine was named Screws were old and loose fits. The enamel on the dial plate was identical with that on a time piece of the same period at the Barde Meuble. I examined the work with a magnifying glass and could see how they had been worn.
 Mot long after I met an appraiser of the Mont Piete. We talked art and an- tiquities I told him of my visit to the Rue de Turenne, expressed admiration at the completeness of the imitation I had been shown there and mentioned the pride of the artificer in his work.
 |" Oh" said the valuator. he has no right to be so proud as that. It was who provided him with the original old screws, works and all. and had them made to orda1l'

Origin of the Papal Tiara.

There have been many discussions as to the exact origin of the tiraras which have been worn by so many Popes, but only one thing seems certain, namely, that a tiara has been for long time the symbol of temporal spiritual power among most of the Eastern nations and especially the Chaldeans, Persians and Egyptians. Tn the oldest records of the church the tiara is styled "a mitred turban," and this clearly shows its Oriental origin, since mitres and turbans have been worn in the East from time immemorlal
 It was Gregory VII who first caused a tiara with two crowns to be fashioned and the first tiara with three crowns may be seen on the tomb of Benedict XII al Avignon. During the French Revolution several papal tiaras were stolen.
 Napoleon I gave very handsome one to Plus VII, and Piux TX valued 1t SC highly that he wore it on several great occasions: indeed, the only other tiara which he wore frequently was one which was given to him by Queen Isabella in 1855, and which was also of great value.
 papal tiara weighs from three to eight pounds.

BETTER AT THE CLOSE.
The Bears Were Very Aggressive on
 the Stock Market.

New York. Sept. 25.-The stock market as whole showed a very decided im- provement at to-day's close, and senti- ment was apparently more cheerful. New ertheless. the same influences that have made more directly for lower prices dur ing the past few months were again in evidence-namely, the extreme weakness of United States Steel issues. The com mon and perfected shares as well as the 5 per cent, bonds began the day with new low records, recovered in part on good support and in the early afternoon burst wide open'' on fresh bear raid. In the final dealings, while the balance of the list was showing very firm un- dertone, another attack on the steel is- sues occurred and the stocks closed with net losses of $ and per cent. for the common and preferred respectively, while the bonds closed at 71k after touching a new low record of 707s Dealings in Steel were enormous. total sales of the com mon and preferred issues aggregating over 175,0O0 shares. about one-fifth of the days business.

A counter proposi- tion will be submitted to the commit tee by the directors and it may be sur missed that this action means general Increase of wages on the big railroad system. The action of the directors is eninently fair and indicates a pur- pose to consider the welfare of the en- tire body of employees and also to pro- tect the. interests of the general pub lic.-Hartford Post.

failure. When, in the blackness of political night, democrats undertook, a year ago, to repair the shattered wreck of an organization in this state, and to make victory possible, the Eagle and the World did nothing but throw cold water, and, so far as they could, dis hearten and discourage such efforts. They lined up on the side of the heavy battalions, and did all they could for Governor Odell. When the votes were counted, however, it was found that the candidate they had ridiculed and declared weak, had come within 5000 of beating their political sandow, the present governor of the state. When the time comes, if New York is to name the presidential candidate, then it is submitted that he should be selected by the democrats of this state, and not elsewhere; and the same privilege will cheerfully be accorded to the dem- ocrats of any other states having fa- vorite sons.

Denies Expulsion From saxony.

NEW YORK, March 23.-Dr. Lewis A. O'Brian, Mrs. O'Brian, his wife, and their young son were passengers on the steamer Pretoria. Dr. O'Brian is the American dentist whose name has been connected by European cor respondents with that of Princess Louise of Saxony. He emphatically denied that he had been officially ex- pelled from Saxony. The dentist said that Princess Louise was simply pa tient of his and friend of his family. When her visits to his family became the subject of gossip in Dresden, he had the visits stopped. He never taught her to ride bicycle, nor did the two bicycle together. Mrs. O'Brian corroborated all the dentist said. Dr. O'Brian bears with him letter from Charles l.. Cole, United States consul general at Dresden. giving him very high character.

The report of the coal strike com mission, while not satisfactory in every respect, shows what can be done by ar- bitration. The miners win a great vic- tory by the decision, and incidentally John Mitchell, who advocated their cause, is being complimented. The de- cision of the commission settles affairs in the mining districts for three years at least, as both sides agreed to abide by the verdict for that length of time. The men get more wages and shorter hours, but looked for relief in the mat ter of weighing, which was not grant ed them Still, as half loaf is better than none at all, the work of the com mission will prove a great blessing. It will have the effect of settling the dis putes for the present at least, and it paves the way for settling future dis putes among the miners and operators in like manner.

 That threatened strl->e of the train men and conductors may prove great blessing to lall the employees of the big corporation. It looks now as though in place of a strike there will De a raise in wages all around. The directors of the railroad, after considering the re quest of the men who were going to strike, have concluded that some of their requests are reasonable. What a whole lot of trouble, annoyance and expense might have, been saved had the men at the head of the trolley ser vice in this city listened and deliber- ated with the men in their employ nine or ten weeks ago. Even if these troll ley magnates aid not grant what was asked. could at least say that they met the men on an equal footing. There is nothing lost by both sides to any argument talking the matter over coolly before drastic steps are taken.

Democrats in other states should not be misled by the Brooklyn Eagle or the New York World, says the Albany Argus. With either, democracy is but mask, means to betray. Both sup ported Seth Low for mayor in 1901 and both will support him for reelection. Both refused to support the democrat ic state ticket in 1902, and neither is anything other than an ally and SUD- porter of the republican state machine as against the regular democratic or ganization in this state. Each of these papers has had deal to say to the eff feet that if this, that or the other thing had been done last year, Governor Odell might have been defeated But if the files Of either paper be consulted, it will be found, over and over again, that they declared Governor Odell to be so strong and popular that the democratic party was foredoonled to

GENERAL WOOD REPLIES.

Government Not Likely to Take Mo-
 tice of RatkbOne's Charges.
 WASHINGTON, March 23.-General Wood has made no change in his plans for going to the Philippines on ac- count of the charges filed against him at the war department by Estes G. Rathbone, ex-director of posts for Gu ba. General Wood has prepared re- ply, which he sent to the secretary of war.
 The charges filed by Major Rathbone are substantially the same as those he filed some time ago with the senate committee on relations with Cuba Tn brief Major Rathbone charges that General Wood manipulated the Cuban courts, that he received gifts from a gambling concern amounting to $5,0OO and that the gifts were admitted into Cuba free of duty, contrary to law.
 In his reply sent to Secretary Root General Wood denies that he received any except purely personal" gifts while in Cuba.
 As to his attendance on the Jai vAlaf, public institution at Havana, at which the Spanish national game
  was played, General Wood calls atten- tion to the fact that the bishop of Ha- vana was present at the dedication of the institution and conducted the serv- ice on that occasion. He authorized the following statement:
 General Wood is at any time ready and glad to appear before any congress sional committee regarding any charges which may be brought against his rec ord as governor general of Cuba. He refuses, however, to indulge in news paper controversy under any circum- stances" e..ss.
 !. General Wood leaves Washington Wednesday afternoon for Boston, whence he sails Thursday for Manila.
 It is understood that neither the war department nor congress will take any notice of the charges.

Another New Iron Field.

Fresh discoveries are continually adding to the worlds known stores of iron. Last summer extensive fields of iron ore were found in northern Nor way, on the coast of Sydvaranger Bay. near the Russian border. Analyses at Christiania show that the ore contains low percentage of titanium, which is regarded as good indication, because the presence of titanium in large quan- tity retards the melting of ore. It is said there are good harbors near these new iron fields, and surveys have shown that the ore covers very large territory. y.-Scientific American.
