FORGING ANTIQUITIES.
Even Experts Tricked In DIstin-
EuishinE Real From the SnurIoun.

Even Experts Tricked In DIstin-
gushing Real From the Spurious.
Dr. oliver Tonks In the Outlook Mag
Hzine shows the difficulties Of distln-
gushing real from spurious antiquities.
Here is one OF his anecdotes:
AT times the fOrgcr is content 20 take
encicnt fragments OF ancient vases or
itatuettes and complete them with clay
or plaster OF paris. These new "old"
wares he then paints up and passes to
the unsuSpecting. ana sometimes sus-
pecting. purchaser as real antiques.
The story Is told OF q forger In Athens
that he protested that when he had I'm.
ished Improving an antique he him
self could not always tell where the
genuine part ceased and the false be-
gan. Under such circumstances II
may not be wondered that at tlmsS
even experts are tricked
The following incident shows how
forgeries turn up in very unexpected
places: one hot day party OF us were
toiiing up steep ascent I'm the island
OF Melos when we saw above us n
number OF Greeks seated on parapet
OF ruins. We had been cruising long
enough among the .Egean islands TO
know that these people OF the place had
seen our ship drop anchor I'm the water
below and were now waiting to sell us
antiquities. At the sight OF these
Greeks one OF our number. tlreless
Scotchwoman. scrambled ahead OF us
TO the top, where we could soon see
her. wind blown and outlined against
the blue sky. bargaining for vase.
When we reached the top after a more
leisurely climb she put her purchase In
my hands and asked me what thought
OF 1t. My hands were moist with per
spiration from the exertion OF the climb.
ana for answer TO her question / he'd
them out 10 her ali blackened from
grasping the vase. The sweat had at
lacked the modern paint with which IL
was covered, and by thus coming Off
on my hands the color had betrayed its
falsity. The whole vase had been
patched up from six or seven pieces
and then painted over to conceal the
repairing.

HEARST LOSES APPEAL.

The New York Supreme Court
last Wednesday decided adversely
on the appeal of W. Il. Hearst and
others in the New York Mayoralty
contest.
The contention of the Hearst at
torneys was that fraud had been
proven, and that the court should
order a recount Of the ballots.
The court decided that it was
illegal TO allow a recount.
In New York the statute law
provides that ballots shall be held
for six months after an election
before they ere destroyed.
Itwould seem that the legislature
which passed the law had some
thought of possible fraud when the
law was passed; if not, why should
ballots be kept for six months.
But the Supreme Court of the
State of New York, or at least five
members out of the seven. think
otherwise. But the two dissenting
Judges make a very pointed state
men of the case in their dissenting
opinion.
Mr.. Hearst was never an cnthu-
siastic candidate for the Mayoralty
of New York, but he believed that
someone should lay aside all per-
sonal choice and render the peoples
protest to the existing state of af-
fairs. He became the candidate
for Mayor against his own wishes
but believing that the plain people
should have someone able and will
TO champion their cause.
Every man who voted for Mr..
Hearst, and practically every man
in the city of New York who voted
against him. now believe that he
was elected Mayor. The courts
refuse to allow a recount of the
ballots, and Judge Alton b. Parker.
late Presidential candidate. and
now personal counsel for Mayor
Mcclellan, has fought the recount
with every skill at his command.
When the matter was frsttaken
TO the lower courts, Mr.. Parker
announced that his client would
not accept one single vote about
which there was question. and
would not accept the NIayoralty if
he had been elected to it by one
illegal vote.
Mr.. McClellan's majority was
less than 5000.
The four ballot boxes which were
opened proved that Hearst had
been cheated out of many votes.
There are nearly 1000 voting
precincts in the Greater City. and
1t Is believed that recount would
have shown the same ratio. or q
greater one, of fraud throughout
the city.
This defeat is not the political
death of Mr.. Hearst. He will qo
on as he has done before. waging
war on trusts, grafters, election
thieves and thugs. He will con-
hnue as the most forceful and
energetic champion the plain peo-
pie have ever had in this country.
lie will devote his time and means
to uplifting the common people.
Just as he has been doing.
Mr.. Hearst was elected Mayor
of New York, but was cheated ont
of the position.
We believe Mr.. Hearst will vet
be President of these United States
and when he is elected to that posi-
ton he will not be cheated out of if
William Randolph Hearst is the
foremost friend of the people to-
day, and the people know it: and
no combination of unprincipled
thugs and rich trust promoters can
prevent his ultimate success.
