GEN. w. r. RANDOLPH SUICIDES
Prominent Army Ofiicer Takes His
Own Life i'm Washington.

""h INV HI
Washington, Dec. 9.-Major Gen.
eral Wallace F.. Randolph, retired,
former chief of the coast artillery
corps, committed suicide at his resi-
dence In this city to-day.
Gen. Randolph shot himself
through the head. No reason js
known for the suicide, and the only
plausible explanation Is that he took
his life while suffering from an at
tack Of kidney trouble, to which he
had been subject for several months
past.
He was mainly instrumental in
the development Of the present sys
tenn Of field artillery. During the
Spanish-American war he command
ed the field artillery with Gen. ahaf-
ter's army In Cuba. Upon the estob-
lishment Of the coast artillery corps
In April, 1901, the President appoint
ed him to the chieftainship Of the
corps, in which capacity he served
until January, 1904, when he was
retired as a major general, sine e
which time he has made his home
In Washington. He was a native OF
Pennsylvania and was 50 years Of
age.

state his dissatisfaction with his pur-

the chairs 10 be genuine, would thank
him for the privilege of being al

be distinctly understood, only upon
the terms and conditions of an ordi-

the nobleman demurred, protesting
that he desired no profit for an un-
fortunate venture. but in the end, in
order TO secure the recovery of his
money, he was prevailed upon TO ac-

another customer took their purchase

however, become much simplified. for

Are your antiques genuine an
tiques? That is a question which
many collectors, ON both a great and
small scale, think they can an
swer in the affirmative. Otherwise,
Of course. they would not have col
lected" them. The chances are great
ly against their answer being correct,
according to Maxwell Glake, United
States consul at Dunferline, who has
been investigating the trafilc in al
legged antiques in Great Britain and
on the continent, says the New York
Tribune. What he has found out has
been published in "The Daily Consul
lar and Trade Report" The subject
is of especial interest just now.
II may be generally stated, he says,
that. nothing but the veriest trash is
20 be found in 80 per cent OF the an
tique shops of Europe. He advises
the collector to buy only on expert
advice or OF dealers willing to give
o detailed written stipulation that
The articles are guaranteed TO be ap-

and, with respect to English furni-
ture, that no carving, inlay or re-
pairs, not frankly admitted, have been
added, the purchase money to be re-
funded if any of the statements are
found to be untrue.

is artificially colOred. Their modern
origin and hasty execution are ire
quently to be detected by the GODS
OF fresh glue exuding from under

Copies of pictures are being sold as
originals at prices much above their
true value, as copies. The faxed
"old masters" keep a number OF men
busy. The copy of the picture hav-
ing been painted, the next process is
that of giving the canvas the appear
ance OF age. The signature having
been applied by man intimately &C
quainted with the signatures and
marks of the old painters, the can
vas is covered with special mixture
of gum and varnish. 1t then goes in
to a hot oven, in which ii is cracked
after the manner of an old picture.
A mixture of SCOT, sand and setting
material rubbed in after the baking
gives the impression of long expos
ure to dust and dirt. A little paint
is then flicked from a stiff-haired
brush on to the picture to give the
appearance of fly marks. The finish

that the genuine coula be readily told
from the spurious because of dis

was because in the old ware the sill
