Chicago, March 3. - Miss Frances
kingsworth, an artists model, was led
blindfolded into room filled with
cadayers Sunday and was photo
graphed for picture to be entitled
Asleep With the Dead" She tainted
when the bandage was removed and
her eyes opened on the grewsome,
grinning hulks of human forms that
surrounded her Her collapse was
followed by Mysteries, in which she
screamed and struggled to free her
self from what seemed to her a living
tomb, until she fell in an unconscious
heap on the floor of the anatomical

ANTIQUE RUGS.
Few Of the Very Finest Ones Are Lea
In the Orient.

Few Of the Very Finest Ones Are Left
In the Orient.
Astonishingly few superlative an
tiques are left in the country that
wove them. Except the one In the
Palace of the Forty Pillars in Ispahan
there seems to be none remaining OF
the essentially Persian types Of the
sixteenth century. The crusaders
brought away the best OF the eleventh
century. You may see them in early
Venetian, Flemish and Dutch paint
ings of palace interiors. At this day
New York has more good rugs than
Constantlnople or Ispahan. Last year
Robert Levy, dealer. aud Il. $. Par
dow of the Musee Orientale. both Of
Constantinople, came here for rugs.
A Teheran. of which the center is
now being used as n model for draw
ing in American public schools, is
valued at $4,000 A Stanford White
Hispano-Ispahan-m In spnin by
Mohammedan conquerors who founded
the caliphate of Cordova -auctioned
last year on Fifth avenue for $4,000.
Frederick Ames has gathered lot.
1t was he who gave to the Boston mu-
scum its hunting rug. the like OF
which auctioned later for $4,000.
While studying oriental gypsies A. T.
Sinclair collected an odd hundred rugs.
Sidney Colvin. Myron J. Bird and Mr..
Alis own excellent examples. J. Pier
pont Morgan has in his London house
100000 worth of rugs, which he no
doubt will bring here when the tariff
permits.
The Yerkes collection is one OF the
finest In the world. 1t is Bagdad Of
sort limited In number. so far as is
known. to four. One is In the Lyons
museum. and two are In possession
of noble European families. Yerkes
also got the two Susanhards found
with the Ardebil of the South Ken
sington museum. All three once could
have been had for S7O0. The' South
Kensington museum paid $4,000 for
the Ardebl. don't Know what
Yerkes paid Vincent Robinson for the
other two. It's curious fact that one
of the Yerkes rugs has the border OF
the Ardebil, while the Ardebil itself
has a Farahan border.
The Benquait collection. which you
may see on Fifth avenue, is valued at
81 100000. Several rarlties were dis
persed at the Marquand sale. II. o.
Havemeyer left some well known Chi
nese pieces. Senator Clark has eight
OF different weaves which cost him
$200,000 and the other day Henry Clay
Frick paid $150,000 for six antiques.

countless numbers. their value unsus-
pected by their possessors.- Franklin

Pics, Bathrooms.

"And this is the pigs bathroomT
said the twentieth century farmer.
81 have heard of hog wash, but
didn't know pigs bathed. DO they?
"Yes, the modern pigs bathe," he
said. "With squeals of rage and dis
gust he tumbles once week into n
hot bath and is thoroughly scrubbed
with stiff brushes dipped into strong
soft soap. This cleanliness keeps him
always well, and 1t increases his
weight 20 per cent.
"All our agricultural colleges now
advise the pig to battle. BY expert
ments they continually show that
baths cause him to fatten a fifth bet
ter. The pigs bathroom Is feature
Of the twentieth century farm."--Cin-

AN INGENIOUS LOCK.
Made In New York For an Eccentric
Potentate In India.

Made In New York For an Eccentric
Potentate In India.
A lock for which a New York lock-
taxed the ingenuity of all the experts
in his establishment 1t Is point of
honor with the house, well known
throughout the world, that no order,
however ingenious, shall battle the in
vcntive faculty of the designers or the
technical skill of the wolkmen. What
ever Il customer wants he must have.
The order In question came all the
way from Il rajah in India. After the
manner of dusky potentates, he suf-
fered from the dual possession of dis
honest servants and magnificent dia-
monds. The diamonds had been dis
appearing nt an alarming rate, and.
though only seven servants had access
TO the box containing the gems, it had
been impossible to discover the culprit.
Whether the rai9h dismissed his ret
lnue or put them TO death on suspl-
cioD, the thefts regularly continued
In his extremity he heard OF the
New York house. An American would
have cOntented himself with procuring
n safe the lock of which would an
sWer to no key but his own. But the
rajah desired something more. He
wanted not simply to preserve his
jewels, but TO catch the.thief. His or
Dc: was for safe fitted with eight
different keys, one for each of his
servants and one for himself. A piece
of glass about eight inches square was
TO be let into the front OF the safe.
The lock must he so constructed that
upon the opening of the safe by any
particular key the photograph of the
opener should appear Immediately in
front Of the glass, to remain there till
another key was inserted. Thus 1t
would always be possible to tell who
had last opened the safe.
The clumsy ingenuity of the idea
made ii Il difficult one to realize. But
In Il short time an apparatus was de-
signed which would contain the seven
photographs. This was fastened in
side the safe and made to communicate
with the lock, BY clever mechanical
device the key of each servant as 1t
turned the lock brought the photo
graph into view.-New York Tribune.

Short Sessions Of Both Houses and

Columbus. o., March g. - Both
branches of the general assembly held
short sessions Monday evening, but
through failure of the two bodies to
have an understanding, the senate re
cessed until $3.50 Tuesday morning and
the house adjourned until $50 Thurs

important work done In the senate
however, until after the Republican
state convention.

brief the only important thing done
being to make the Thomas bank in.

A number of bills were introduced
In the senate and also a joint resolu-
tion by Mr.. Howe of Cuyahoga coun'
ty, but the latter was withdrawn, be.
cause OF an error in drafting It. The
resolution provided that constitutional
amendments shall be printed for six
weeks instead of six months before
election as now required, and that a
majority of the votes cast upon any
amendment, instead of a majority OF
the votes cast at the election shall be
sufficient to carry the same. The res.
olution, If adopted. would counteract
the effect of the repeal of the Long.

easy to adopt any constitutional
amendment.
