A Trick Of the Rug Man.

In buying antique or modern oriental
rugs, there is trick of the trade to
be looked out for Many old rugs are
SO touched before being displayed for
sale that the home furnisher is easily
deceived into thinking she is pur-
chasing perfectly genuine goods. This
is accomplished by the crafty oriental
by various processes. He shaves the
upper surface of the weave removing
the worn, faded part, and of course
lesening the wearing powers Of the
rug; or he retints the upper surface of
rug: or he retints the upper surface of
with water colors. A rug frequently
shaved is easily recn~nized by thin
ness and lack Of body.

Glass CandIesticks.

Glass candlesticks are much in de-
mand now. The pressed glass can be
had at remarkably low prices, while
the cut glass is not prohibitive in
price. Many persons object to touch
ing any brass object, and also dislike
the labor of cleaning brass. Glass is
more desirable on this account, and
looks very pretty upon the dining table,
either with or without shades.
1t is growing to be more and more
a glass age. Glass shelves are used
in cabinets and china closets, and in
up-to-date bathrooms even the tub is
of heavy glass.

A Transposition.

During a newspaper mems conven-
ton a number of journalists were one
afternoon, talking Of tricks of 'the
faithless types" when "Marse" Henry
Watterson said: while I've heard OF
great many funny typographical
breaks in my time, about the oldest
and most humorous transposition OF
the types that ever came within my
observation was that of a New York
paper, some years ago. That sheet
used to print its shipping news on the
same page with the obituaries. Imagine
the glee with which IT'S readers found
the captions exchanged one morning,
whereby a long list of respectable
names were set forth under the marine
heas, Passed Through He'll Gate Yes

WILL GO TO SUPREME COURT
IL is Deemed Certainty That Higher
Tribunal Will Ultimately Decide the
Case Against tho Standard Oil Com
pany Of ohio-Next Step Will be to
Impose Penalty.

Findlay, O., Oct 19.--After deliber-
ating thirty-two hours the jury in the
case of Ohio against the Standard Oil
Company returned verdict of gull
ty' on the charge of conspiracy against
trade in violation of the Valentine anti
trust law. The verdict was rendered
at 4:35 this morning. There was not
a spectator. present aside from the at
torneys ard several newspaper men.
The penalty is a fine of from $50 to So
coo, which may be repeated for each
day Of the offense, or Imprisonment
from six to twelve months.
The Standard has given notice that
1t will file \ motion for new trial. Un-
der the practice of the court, the de-
fendant has three days to put the mo-
tion in form. The next step will be for
thescourt to impose the penalty. There
is no doubt but that ultimately the su>
prema court of the state will decide
the case.
Hymns Promote cordiality.
The trial occupied seven days, pre-
ceding the deliberation of the jury,
which was in continuous session for
thirty-two hours. When the case went
to the jury Wednesday night, the first
ballot stood nine for conviction, and
fo, Nyof ,,,fi ~
clock this morning was the third man
who voted for mot guilty" won over
to the majority of the jurors. A touch
OF the dramatic marked the two clos
;ng hours Of the jt.sy's deliberations.
Hymns were sung during all but ten
minutes of this time. This ten min
utes came at the end and was occu-
pied by the last obdurate juryman in
explaining his position, and the rea-
sons for surrendering to the opinion
held by the eleven others. There was
not the slightest levity about the hymn
nal service. The songs were started
shortly after two o'clock and as one
familiar hymn after another was sung
it was evident the spirit of fraternal-
ism was gaining headway. At first
there were but two voices heard, but
the number constantly increased, the
hymns gaining in volume and enthu-
siasm. Laughter was heard between
the pauses, but it bore tone of cor
diality.
Finally Home. Sweet Home" and
the national anthem were rendered,
and then came the announcement that
a verdict had been reached. To the
state, the suit, verdict and appeal IS
important, particularly because it in
itiates an entirely new method of pro-
ceeding against alleged trade monop-
olies,-that is by information and af-
fidavit, intsead of by grand jury in
dictmert.

stock Market in Panic.

New York, Oct. 19.-The unheralded
advance in the Bank Of England's dis
count rate to s per cent, threw the
stock market into confusion at the
opening. There wassa disorderly break
in prices, caused by heavy unloading
Of speculative accounts all thru the
list. The opening was very confuse
ed. and almost demoralized. The pres.s
sure to sell seemed to come chiefiy
from arbitragen firms which desired
to dispose of their stock at any quo
tation above London prices. The first
to suffer were stocks in which specs
ulation had been active recently. Un-
ion Pacific, Amalgamated Copper and
Reading.
Rumors are circulated here that the
Bank Of England's advance has been
caused by threatened financial trouble
in London, but there is no confirma-
ton whatever Of these reports. The
feverish fluctuations that usually oc-
cur in periods Of demoralized specula-
ton, developed after the opening. The
market rallied sharply from the OPEN
ing break. but there were frequent
relapses from the best prices.
!, In connection with the increase in
the rate Of discount by the Bank Of
England there was good deal Of spec
ula;tion in Wall stree during the early
hours, and many disquieting rumors
were set afloat. Inquiry among the
banks doing a heavy foreign business
put these rumors effectually at rest
the general opinion being that there u
no occasion for alarm.
