HIGH PRICES OF CHAIRS.
One Dozen of Louis XIV, Days Was
Recently Sold for One Hum
dred Thousand Dollars.

The value of chairs ia strictly
relative. Enormous prices have
been paid for chairs in recent
years, notably 100000 for a set
Of half a dozen Louis XIV.
chairs, upholstered in Gobelin
tapestry, which were originally
made for Marie Antoinette.
Even this price, states the Oleve
land Plain Dealer, by the way,
was exceeded by the sums paid
for three Of the Hamilton palace
tables, one of which brought
$4,000.
A most valuable and historic
ally interesting suite Of furni.
ture is that which more than a
century ago was presented by
Warren Hastings to TippoO Sa-
nib and which was purchased at
the IOndesborough sale for S5,.
600. The suite consists of a red
card table, a sofa, two small cab
inets and four aPmchairs, all Of
solid ivory most exquisltely
carved. But probably the most
costly chair In the world is one
of the many treasures Of the
shah of Persia 1t is of solid
gold, thickly incrusted with dia-
monds, rubies, pearls and sap
phires, and its value is estimated
at $500,000. In the house o.
commons at Westminster are
two armchairs which once be

which was his favorite seat when
at Downing street.
A short time ago a romantic
story was told in the French pa

chairs which were sold among

widow, who died at Dellys, ar
Algerian seaport town. The
widow was reputed to be rich
but a thorough search of he

had died practically penniless.

Odessa's Greatest Opportunity.

odessa Democrat:
The Commercial Club has a
proposition In hand that means more
to Odessa than anything that has been
agitated here in many a day. 1t is a
proposition for the town ito get a
waterworks system at a nominal cost
and is proposed that a corporation
composed Of our citizens be formed to
forward the matter. A 25.acre tract
of lana on part of the farms of John
G.. Hader, Sterling Powers and
Jackson Cox has already been
surveyed, which made into q 'lske
would hold so, 209, 900 gallons OF
water. This tract the Club has In
view, and a meeting to which every
one interested is especially invited,
will be hell at the city hall next
Thursday night. This 10 a wonderful
opportunity that will never again be
presented to u people, and as
progressive citizens we should be
alert to the interests OF our town.
