FRAUDS IN ORIENTAL RUGS.
Effect of Age Produced by Chemicals Which
Weaken the Material.

Consul General William H. Michael in Calcutta.
makes the following report o. the rug making IN
dustry OF British India which depends so largely
on the United States for market:
The United States buys each year many thou-
sand dollars worth OF what known TO the
profession as washed rugs. Brightly colored OH
entail rugs sometimes washed with solution
of chloride of lime, which treatment partially
to tho rug. This chemical treatment is a process
OF washing which produces the effect OF age and
a peculiar sheen 10 the surface. which IS pointed
out by tne unscrupulous seller as a proof OF
peror quality. The fact Is the process of washing
described invariably weekens, and. IN
cases. destroys. the materials of the rug.
The progressive effect OF the chemicals the
materials in the rug is follows: The chlorine gas
and moisture from the air. by which muratic acid
s formed, which eats away the vtas of the rug
Sooner later the wool and cotton IN the rug be-
brittle and thus weaken the warp and de-
piete the pile Of the rug may be swept away By
the ordinary process Of sweeping. and the warp,
which is the foundation OF the rug. becomes so
weak that holes appear here and there and very
the rug Is worthless.
The question arises to how this disastrous
treatment Of rugs can be avoided and still give TO
the lover OF antique effect what he desires. The
only answer must be that the antique effect shall
be obtained by scientifically correct dyeins and cor
rect technical blending Of the colors In the rug
BY this method the perfect antique effect can DO

sirable rux be had-one that VIII equal the old
Persian rug in appearance and possess all the
strength and vitality that a rug can have.

DEMOCRATIC SPLIT AT oSSINiNG.

The Democratic camp In OssInng appears TO be a
divided one. Some time ago the Democratic County
Committee taking cognizance of the split IN that
town between the Sheehan-Fagan followers and
those who adhere to the Larkin- Moran side of the
house ordered an enrolment of the Democratic
voters on Tuesday caucuses We're held in the sew
eraI districts of the under the new enrolment
and the result was the returning Of a full set or
Sheehan- Pagan delegates to the Assembly, county
and school commissioner district conventions. as
we'll as the election of town committee and county
committeeman of the same stripe
The Iarlzin- Moran Democrats sulked in their tents
at both the enrolment and the caucuses. What
will happen at the general election can easily be
imagined II will be apt illustration of the re-
suIt which waits upon house divided against
itself" The successful faction is in entire accord
with Democratic State Committeeman Walsh, Of
Yonkers.

Bronx has increased IN population to a greater de-
gree than any Of the other boroughs IN the city OF

for police duty IN this immense territory

fairs the Blaine Club has drawn up a petition,
signed by many thousands Of merchants and resi-
dents OF The Bronx, and presented copy oc it
10 Mayor Mcclellan and another TO Police Com
missioner Bingham, asking that they investi-
gate the conditions complained Of and take the
necessary steps to give the police protection that
is due the citizens Of the borough. Three years

keeps all the money he takes IN The shop Is
equipped In the best style and the barber and
