objects that graced palaces and

the Dowager Empress, today are
actors in Hollywood.

graced an emperor'S home in the
days Of the Chinese Empire are

Ancient Mistress, and many rare
objects also bedeck the set repre-
Senting the house Of Paul NUM-

achieved wealth.
Set Of lockwood Tables
Among the rare objects Is q
complete set Of teakwood tables,
q center table and six small side
tables, deliberately hand-carved, in
laid with mother Of pearl, and 200
years old. These were once the
property Of Q Manchu-a member
Of. the royal family before the
days Of the Boxer uprising. They
were purchased from q collector
in Picking.
Modernistic furniture is not
new. Several sets Of teakwood
shelves, in cubistic style, are used
in the big palace set. Their geo.
metrical proportions exactly
match the colored wood and chro-
MUM shelf sets and stands seen
today. But the design Of these
teakwood examples Is 1000 years
old.
One magnificent cabinet, every
inch hard-carved and gold-leafed,
was the property of q high official
under the Manchu reign. It
changed hands several times and
was in the office Of a merchant
where it was picked UP by the
expedition sent by Metro oldwyn- |

properties.

furnishings of palaces to the SIM

attack, was extremely popular with
all classes of Minneapolis people.
The colored community was very
fond of him. Even many Of those
who he arrested liked him. The
man who "broke" Brunslill in as
a detective was the late Charles
Hamilton, Negro detective. Brun-
skill gave Hamilton credit for
helping develop him into one of the
most efficient police officials in the
country.

the hundreds of similar decorations
which were banked around the
casket of the former chief.
