FAKE ANTIQUES PLENTY.
Lady Expert Lectures on Soid Eng
Iish Porcelain"


London, Nov. 5.-The fake antique mar
ket would seem 10 be as brisk as ever.
One day this week well-known lady
expert gave the second of a series Of
lectures on the history of old English
and Chinese porcelain. AT tie previous
lecture she had invited her hearers to
bring along their treasures and submit
them 20 her critical eye.
The audience responded nObly and the
lecturer was devastating. The first piece
produced, a beautiful white Derby dessert
stand-two china baskets supporting a
finely modelled hgure-was pronounced a
modern Partisan imitation, notwithstand-
ing the presence of the familiar blue
crowns, blue batons, and blue d. of the
famous factory. The forger rad indeed
been oveTzealous In this instance. since
all three marks We're never used stimuli
taneously on the same piece
A Lowestoft jar IN It's turn stood un-
masked as a modern japanese copy OF
old Chinese porcelain of the kind often
called Lowestoft. The appearance Of age
had been given by rubbing dirt and paint
on the inside Of the lid before baking,
giving II the stained appearance impaired
by years of use,
But the climax of the lecture was
reached when the lecturer, asked to pro-
nounce on a dessert service stated 10
have been In one family for 500 years,
made the unwelcome discovery that the
factory at which it was produced only
opened in 1850.

DEPOsITORS IN DISTRESS.
One scOtchman T-Bured His Money
In Defunct Bank.

London. Nov. 5.-The failure Of the
Charing Cross Bank. With liabilities OF
sl2 900 and assets estimated non4lDally
at about half that sum, has brought forth
many narrowing tales of distress from
small depositors who had been tempted
to place their all In the bank by the offer
held out of high rates Of interest on de
posits withdrawable at long notice, say
a tWelvemonth or more.
There is one hard-headed Scotsman who
has no need TO Join the chorus Of lament.
He put a few thousand dollars into the
Greenock branch of the bank at long
notice, the interest agreed upon being
~ per cent per annum. Then he insured
his deposit with Lloyds for a 212 per cent
premium.
The consequence is that his capital has
been restored TO him intact. and he has
had a safe 5 per cent dividend on his
money all the time it was invested.

OPPOSES HOBBLE SKIRT.
Queen Mary's DisfavOr Not Affecting
Other Women.

London, Nov. 5.-The fact that Queen
Mary has pronounced against the hobble
skirt does not seem to have affected that
garment to any appreciable extent. To
BE- sure the ladies in the Queens imme-
date encourage do not wear the style
which has met with her majesty's dis
favor. but the rest OF the women in the
kingdom 90 on merrily hobbling 20 their
hearts content
As a matter Of fact Queen Mary's pro-
nouncements on the subject OF dress are
not apt 10 be taken very seriously by her
feminine subjects. as she has never been
considered a really well-dTessed woman.
and her taste In color and cut is some
times very questionable.
Being strong-minded, she will not con-
sent to suggestions, and therefore relies
on her own uncertain judgment in the
matter OF clothes Queen Alexandra. on
the other hand, is regarded as particu-
larry and tastefully well dressed and her
special likes and dislikes were slavishly
followed by her feminine subjects.

ConsJanunople, Nov. 5.--The difficulties

form Of political government so long as
it does not endanger the old faith Of the
true believers
They have taken advantage of political
liberties by forming a society named
Jemmiyet Islamiye the aims of which
are, as its title Indicates, for the protec-
ton of the Islam. The society published
on the eve Of the great Ramadan religi-
Gus festival an appeal to the women OF
Turkey, exhortins them to hold fast to
the precepts of the Prophet;
Appeal 10 Women.

Wartime Figure Dying.

Major Henry Reed Rathbone, who
was an aide to President Lincoln and
received stab wound in attempting
to save the life of his chief on the
night of the assassination, is near
death in the criminal ward of the in
sane asylum at Hildesheim, Germany,
of which he has long been an in
mate.
Many years ago while occupying
the post of American Consul at Han
over, Germany, Major Rathbone
murdered his wife. He was convict
ed. but declared to be insane and
was committed to the institution
where he has since remained and
lived in luxury. For long time he
made periodical attempts to secure
his liberty, but lately gave up his
efforts to gain his freedom and is
awaiting the end with tranquility.

"a Few Soothing Words"

The Daily Charlotte Observer.
We are concerned about the Ashe-
vile GaZette-News. It's state of
mind, following the factional over
turn in the recent Republican State
Convention at Greensboro, is such as
TO arouse the sympathetic interest. of
all its friends. Touching the Obser-
ver's relation to the outcome, which
our afflicted contemporary has made
the occasion Of so many reproaches,
We would state that not only Messrs.
MOrehead and Butler but Messrs.
Duncan and Adams also have person.
ally acknowledged with appreciation
the fair treatment received. In fact,
this paper considers the outcome at
Greensboro a striking vindication of
its general policies as a public jour
nal. 1t printed the articles-sent
from Norehead City by it's managing
editor, Mr.. r. w. Vincent, after in
terriewing both camps-which first
revealed the true situation. This
was not partially, but simple news
paper enterprise. The newspaper
man wrote, convincingly, that Butler
had come back" His articles were
ffrst-class newspaper work, and were
recognized as such by all impartial
OnlOokers. The Observer presented
this information to the public, not in
the remotest degree to aid either Re-
publican faction but because other
dailies, most of them deriding Butler,
made no try at the facts, and be-
cause those facts were therefore ma
terial for big SCOOP" That scoop"
was duly scored. If Butler could
Gust the faction then dominant it was
no concern of ours, but the news in
terest attaching thereto very decided
ly was.
The Gazette-News should not take
defeat SO hard. Let it, following the
vulgar exhortation, "be a sport" It's
present mood tends to discredit the
mountain section, where, as adver-
tised, comforting, cheering and up
lifting prospects abound on every
hand.

For Military CONSUMPTION.

New York, Aug. 28.-Paul Morton,
President of the Equitable Assurance
Society, and formerly Democratic
Secretary of the Navy, just returned
from Europe, brings back with him
a strong belief in the benefits of mill
tary CONSUMPTION as he saw it in Ger
many. In an interview he is quoted
as follows:
81 am convinced that one of the
greatest things that benefits Ger
many is enforced military service In
fact, I am not at all sure that en-
forced military service for the Unit
ed States of, perhaps, year only
might not be a most desirable thing
for this country.
cit teaches discipline, beth men
tai and physical. 1t teaches men to
have respect for themselves and for
law and order. I believe it improves
a mans citizenship and makes him
more patriotic. ] believe it teaches
concentration of mind and is one of
the causes of the prosperity of the
German nation"
