EARLY FURNITURE AND PICTURES IN
 GREAT DEMAND
Record breaking Prices Received By Sellers of Various
 Antiques.
lCorrespondence of Associated Press)

Correspondence of Associated Press)
 London, May l0.-The enormous fortunes made in England during the wa are responsible for record break ing prices which sellers of antiques ol every kind are realizing in London auction rooms. in the opinion of men who have long been close to the trade. The whole country is being searched for treasures of all kinds which find ready sale at prices which hitherto have been only paid by for e'oners.
 mysterious portrait winch re- gently appeared in one auction room and was said by some one to have been by Franz Hals quickly brought $60.000. although it's authenticity has even now not been established. A Rey- holds portrait which to the present had not attracted much attention was easily sold for $70,000 and pie lures by much lesser lights brought phenomenal prices.
 Artistic furniture is in even more demand. Six Chippendale Gothic chairs recently sold at country sale for $5,125. in spite of the fact that modern artists are copying this parti- cular design with marked success and only the trained expert can detect the difference At another country sale two Chippendale tables brought $1 600 and Chippendale cabinet $6,- 250.
 Sheraton furniture is not so popu- lar, excellent tables going as low as $100. An old harpsichord in a Will liam and Mary case sold for $2,5OO and a grandfather's clock gave it's fortunate owner $600 in spite of the fact that the clock had probably ceas- ed to tick more than hundred years ago.
 Illuminated manuscripts also are in demand, and as in the case of fur niture, record prices are being ob- tained. Letters of David Garricl<, and a few by his wife, to noted persons of their time, caused spirited bidding,

COMEDIANS JOKE ON CAMDEN HOTEL,
 COSTS HIM S1O.95

Be careful about the jokes you pull when you come to Camden" was the verdict of Ed C. Mutt, owner of the Ed c. Mutt Comedy company who showed in Camden all last week. who was brought before Judge Puri- foy in the Justice of the Peace court last Saturday on charge of slander made by the manager of the Newton Eotel, according to the Camden Bea- con-l1erald.
 It is said that the charge was the result of a joke told by two comedi- ans of the show at the Friday night performance. The joke was said to have been as follows:
 One Comedian-"I hear that the Newton hotel is going to move"
 One Comedian-'I hear that if they wait d little while the bed bugs will do the job for them.'
 Saturday morning MT. Lewis, man ager of the the Newton hotel swore out a warrant for the arrest of the manager of the comedy players on a charge of islander.
 The case was compromised before Judge Purlfoy, with the defendant paying the costs of the case which amounted to $l0.95 and promising to make public apology for the joke, at the Saturday night performance. The apology was made according to Foyle' by Mr. Mutt, Saturday night.
 Members of the show stopped at the Newton hotel on their arrival here last Sunday a week ago, but left the hotel during the week, it is said.
 The Ed c. Mutt Comedy shows who made their second annual visit to Camden last week is one of the cleanest shows on the road today.

 Il have been fascinated with the idea that we might introduce into out national life a system of universal training not yet attempted system should be compulsory for all men whether or not they are physicall fit to be soldiers, which should serve as an annual inventory of our national resources physically, mentally and morally. The university might serve as model for the training camps which would be found in such sys- tenn; student would be under military discipline, and would enjoy all ad- vantages of the we'll administered military camp. but he would pursue whatever subject his taste and his situation in life might cause him to desire, from brick-laying to univer- sity study.

At 2 cost of s4,OOO The Graphic has
 ,rrebased and installed in it's mech
 ppu;eal department new linotype ma-
 sh;ne si It is two multiple magazine
 machine Model IA, and is the most
 o modprn type of linotype machine
 manufactured. It was purchased of

 machines.
 The machine was assembled and installed by E. P. Ely, superintendent of the mechanical department of The Graphic. The Merganthaler company usually sends a man to assemble and install their machines, but Mir. Ely who was connected with this firm for six years in the installation and demonstration of machines, made the services of the factory man unneces- sary.
 Realizing the need of another new model machine in order to give bet ter service to both readers and adver- tisers The Graphic incurred the ex- pense of this machine. With the diff ferent face type which the machine will set, the reading matter of the paper will present cleaner and neat CT set up, as will the display matter. The machine can set from 1-2 point type to AS point type without the operator leaving his seat to change magazines.
 The new machine will make pos sible the setting of box scores and the classified columns in six point type, which will not only present heater paper, but but save space for more news matter.
 Advertisements will be set partly in 10 point type, which is an in creased efficiency, and is a better service to advertisers.

BAGGAGE MAN WINS
 PRIZE FOR BEATTY

Physical beauty is a peculiar sort of accident. Some few are adorned with it, while the majority of us have Improper noses, snaggle teeth, squint eyes and freckles.
 The great majority of people are very tolerant of beauty-women al ways are quite inclined toward the Wally Reid kind, while men have been known to admire beautiful women.
 As yet, there has been no Brother hood of Beauty formed, and hence those favored ones who possess the things, have not struck for more ad- miration, or longer hours of it.
 Though beauty is not recognized as an industry, or as a business, yet it's possession is quite salable, and nov for mug which can be looked at without shivers. It pays to be hand some.
 At the Orpheo theatre last night the management put on beauty contest. Mrs. "Slats" Allard. who, having look ed at her husband, To, these many years, is quite competent to judge when man is not handsome Mrs Allard was judge last night, and after glumming the array of male physignomy which was turned up for her inspection, decided that M. M. Henry, of 1915 East Eleventh avenue, and night baggage man at the Union station, could be looked at with much more ease than the remainder of the men in the house.
 Mr. Henry's beauty netted him $5, as that was the prize offered by the Orpheo for the handsomest man in the house.

 Efforts to trace the purchasers of some of the choicest offerings have revealed the presence in the market of prsons who never before paid any attention to antiques. Many of them are persons who accumulated large fortunes during the war, and now that that they have acquired fine houses have set out, with the aid of experts, to give them the ancient touch requir- ed by good tase.
