DEAL in. BOGUS ANTIQUES


ago l took two pieces Of furniture that
one collector prides himself on pos
sessing for genuine things, until l be-
came acquainted with the man who
made them. Marble is the material
that least betrays the present day
workman. l am now making a marble
fountain which will look like the prod
uct of a far back time. | give 1t pat
inc by burning damp straw under It;
and then | knock off the nose, or a
finger, or leaves Of a wreath. 1t is a
great trial to artistic workmen to be
obliged to mutilate their work in this
way. We feel awfully Disguised when
we have ~disfigured a ~statuette. But
we can make three times more money
in working for antiquaries than for
moderns.
Sometimes u profits are enor-
nous; we have to be conscientious
and so attentive to details. h an
tiquaries can ask any prices they like.
lnCh 1hoAO--lCAD want aANiAoS Nhih6S
to give the illusion of having ances-
tors who hourished in far back CEN
turtles. A present craze Is for tenth,
eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth cen
fury marbles. They are ugly, but they
help to throw the dust in the eyes
of South African gold kings settled in
Paris and American heiresses. The
owner of the Chateau de Rochefort
goes in for such things. He paid dear
to secure for his chateau marbles that
| dare say are genuine, but so inferior
in workmanship and conception that
| would not stoop to pick them out of
the mud, if by doing so | could have
them for nothing.
! "Houdons are now the rage. and
have been for some time. Think of
the prices to which they ran up those
spurious graces on the timepiece
bought by a Frankforter at the double
sale. The most enviable Houdon is
now lie Baiser.' Copies of it are sold
everywhere by Italian boys. The orig
inal at this moment in Paris is worth
500, 900. Well, there are seven or eight
originals lying by quietly to be
brought ont in due time"
The dealer who knows his business
never parades his antiques in the
front shop. He keeps them in the back
mixed up with rubbish. The amateur,
after a hunt among things conspicu-
ously displayed goesinto the back
shop to hunt. When he discovers" the
treasure he will bring it out. Then
the dealer pretends that he had not
paid any attention 10 that particular
object and that he will have to as
certain it's value before he a part
with it.
BY this time the collectors desire
for possession is on edge and he will
purchase his find" at almost any
price.
Amateurs sometimes as a favor are
permitted to so through the living
rooms of an a%ntiquary. On every
occasion they will make a find" One
dealer made a mint Of money out of
the renaissance bed he slept n He
gave the collectors a chance to dis
cover" it. Because he was using it
they thought the had not recognized
its value.

Or. Alexander. Of Mccklenburg, at
once called the previous question: but
yielded to Mr. Morton to allow him TO
read a telegram from the Chamber Of
Commerce Of Wilmington,
Mr. Morton, however wished 70 speak
further against the bill. but Dr. Alex
ander would not yield to this Finally
Mr.. Morton secured consent of the House
to proceed
The telegram from the Wilmington
Chamber Of Commerce. signed by its
President, Jas IT. Chadbourn favored
tho bin and asked Mr. Morton to support
it.
But he stated that he personally OPP
posed the bin. for the reason that it took
away from the Boards :Of Aldermen a
right granted in almost every charter in
North Carolina. and to take away from
the people of the different towns the
right to have their own representation,
end allowing the representative Of other
counties to pass laws governing them.
Mr. Morton then sent forward an
amendment that nothing in the bill should
apply to towns whose charters gave the
governing bodies the right to determine
such matters.
Mr. Guion spoke in favor Of MIR. Nor
tons amendment. saying that he had
taken great pride in belonging to a con-
servatfve BODY.
We had Just passed a law giving the
towns the privilege of settling these
questions for themselves, and now it
would be entirely inconsistent to pass
bill that would take this very privilege
from them.
Judge Graham said he was surprised to
hear the gentleman from Craven oppos-
ing this bill which was entirely consist
ent with the law recently passed If we
had the right to regulate this matter for
the rural districts, We also had the right
to restrict the hours Of the saloons in
the towns.
Mr.. Price, of Stanly asked Judge Ora
ham who knew best about the wishes OF
the people Of Charlotte three represen-
tatives Of the county Of Mecklenburg. or
seven members Of the Board of Aldermen
in the city?
Judge Graham replied by asking
whether 50 per cent. of the people of the
state knew their own affairs better than
Is per cent Of the people in the towns
Mr.. Price said that for 4hat,very reason
he had at every opportunity voted for
leaving the LIQUOR question to vote Of
the people and he'd only voted for the
Watts bill at the end when nothing better

could be gotten, and Indifference to the
wishes of his people.
Mr.. Morton's amendment was lost by
a vote Of AZ to Al.
Mr.. oMrton moved that the bill lie on
the table. Motion lost by vote Of AZ to
4G.
The bill on its third reading passed by
a vote of 50 to g.
Mr.. Morton changed his vote from no to
aye and lodged a motion to reconsider
Several others changed their votes from
no to aye.
DR. Alexander, of Mecklenburg, moved
to reconsider and lay that motion on the
table. Carried by 50 to So.

was to keep the number down to II.
MIR. West, speaking for Cherokee, said
that only two negroes registered in that
county at the last election
Mr.. Watts said that the object Of the
bill was to prevent Republican towns
from being able to register negroes who
were not qualified to vote. Many Of the
towns in the western part of the State,
moreover those Republican registrars in
the western towns were gathering cvi-
dence against those Democrats who were
indicted by the Federal Courts.
Mr.. Wood, Of Johnston. made a plea
for the bill.
Mr.. owen, Of Sampson. said that the
Democrats had promised that, once the
constitutional amendment was passed,
they would quit talking about the negro.
But there seemed to be some that could
not let the niger alone. There was now
no town in the state that was dominated
by negroes.
Mr.. Britain asked the House to cX-
cept Randolph, as did Mr.. Offman
Mr.. Bowman thanked God there were
some hearted Democrats who were
willing to give the Republican counties
chance. He honored those Democrats
who had ignored the attempt to throttle
justice, and throttle free white men.

Startling violations Of the new naturali-

speetion across the continent
Mr.. Vandusen declares that the provision
of the new law which prevents any one
with anarchistic beliefs. inclinations or ten
dencies from becoming citizen has in
many cases been ignored
AS result President Roosevelt, it IS
said, will recommend to Congress a radical
change in the law, SO as to limit the right
of comforting naturalization to the federal
courts. 1t is understood that the Presi-
dent will favor a permanent commission to
question the applicant for citizenship pa
pers, take other testimony If necessary

the judge. 49,
One Chicago judge is found to have ad-
mitted 1,SO0 foreigners to full citizenship In

administered to the applicants in platoons
and the law presumes that the oath shall
be administered to each individual sepa-
rately.

QUALIFYING JURORS.
Beginning the Trial Of Miller and
Johns at Cincinnati.


CINCINNATI, Ohio, October 13.-Before
Judge A. c. Thompson, in the United
States district court, the trial of D. V.
Miller of Terre Haute and Joseph NJ. Jones
of Rockville, Ind. began today. They were
recently indicted jointly in connection with
what is called postal conspiracy" the
charge being that they received bribe cf
1850 from John ]. Ryan, turf investor"
SO that he would not be prohibited from
using the malls In his so-called "get-rich-
quick" schemes. Miller was then assistant
attorney of the Post Office Department at
Washington under Tyner and it is charg-
ed that his friend Johns was the go
between"
Ryan testified in the preliminary hearings
that he met Johns by appointment at the
Gibson House in this city and paid him the
money, and the district attorney holds
checks for $1,000 and $500. respectively,
frcm Ryan, indorsed by Johns. Ryan
claims that afterward the defendants in
sisted on continuous payments for "protec-
tion," when he laid the whole matter before
post office inspectors.
Mr.. Robb assistant attorney general for
spectorS are here from Washington looking
after the case, but the prosecution Is In
the hands of District Attorney Mcpherson

Miller is represented by Rulison and Heiniz

natl, Pruett and McFadden and Howard
Maxwell of Rockville.

families of the defendants and many
friends from Indiana were present in court.
