How Chromos Are Made.

Probably very few, even of those persons
who are generally well informed, have the
slightest conception of the various process
SEES by which those wonders of modern i'm
itative art, popularity known as Chromos,
are gradually developed, step by step, to
a perfection which almost defies discrimi-
nation in comparing with the original
The photographic, or stone process, is that
generally used in this country; but having
been found too slow, and inherently defec-
tive for rendering some of the most deli
cate -tints, great effort has been adem to
find substitute, by which higher de
gree of perfection could be attained. and
the superior productive capacity of relief
substituted: for the uncertainties and de-
lays of surface printing.
!. Many years ago, Mr.. Charles stahl, a
photographic engravcr of high repute, di-
rected his attention to this subject, and
after years: of patient and enthusiastic de-
votion, he has overcome all difficulties,

sWOne of the mules, the property of
the county, was found dead in Port To-
bacco yesterday morning. Whether it
died of the prevailing epizootic, with
which it is said to have been recently suf-
fering, or from some other cause, it is not
certainly known. The mule was found in
a narrow alley, its throat being caught be-
tween the sharp pointed palings of fence,
where, it. died probably from strangula-
ton.

From the Baltimore Gazette.
The Presidents Message.

The message commences with an express
sion of thankfulness for the blessing OF
peace and prosperity at home, and peace
with foreign Powers. The first subject re-
ferred to is the satisfactory adjustment OF
the Alabama claims by arbitration, at &C.
neva-Mr. Adams and the United States
counsel being complimented for the servi-
ces they rendered. For the distribution
of the award, when paid, Board of Com
missioners is recommended. The settle
ment of the boundary question, by the de-
cision of the Emperor of Germany trans
ferring the island of San Juan to the
United States-is next made source OF
congratulation, as final and defnitive
adjustment of all boundary disputes be-
tween the United States and Great Britain.
1t is now suggested that the actual line
between Alaska and the British possession
be surveyed and marked by appropriate
natural objects or monuments. On the
subject of the fisheries the Message states
that as the British Parliament and the
Canadian provinces have passed laws to
carry out the proyigiens of the Treaty of
Washington, similar legislation is asked
of Congress at an early day.
The total ordinary receipts of the Trea-
sury for the fiscal year ending June 80, are
put at 1864, 794, 22925. Receipts from sale
of coin at $9,412,537 IS, making the total
net receipts 1914 ,10O,867 Sc. Adding to
the above, the balance in the Treasury on
June 80, 1871, of $1O9, 1886, 705 70, the total
available cash in the Treasury was $484,
942,573 Is. -"
The total of net disbursements for the
same period, was $377, 476, 216 81, leaving
balance in the Treasury on the 30th June,
1872, of $1O6,574, 1856 "a. The net reduc-
ton of the principal of the public debt
during the fiscal year was $99,960,253 81.
The total reduction from March l, 1859, to
March 1, 1879, was 1858, 696, 499 81. The
message expresses doubt as to whether
any further reduction of taxation is advis-
able for the present, and recommends that
no more legislation be had on the subject
except to correct errors of omission or
commission in the present laws.
The expenditures of the War Depart
ment for thefscal year>were $35, 372, 157 20,
a reduction in favor of the last fiscal year
of$427,834 g.. The estimates for the next
fiscal year are $50 ,3O1,378 rs. During the

II becomes our sad duty to announce the
death Of Major WILLIAM B. STONE, of this
county. He died at his residence, near
this place, on Sunday last, the list instant,
of an affection of the brain, under which
hs had been suffering for several months
past. Major Stone was the son of Judge
Michael Stone, once Chief Justice of this
judicial District, and nephew of Thomas
Stone, Signer of the Declaration of indie
pendence. Like his distinguished uncle
and father, he was trained to the law; and
practieed with reputation, and successfully
until 1914. In that year he was nominal
ed as Chief Judge Of this District by Gov
ernor Francis Thomas, and served until
1s46. His political opponents being in
tha-najority in the Senate, and having the
Governor, his appointment was not con-
6rmed, when he retired from the practice.
Since that time he has been entirely engag
ed In agricultural pursuits, except on one
occasion. In 1866 he and the late Senator
Merrick were nominatedb by the Democratic
party for the Legislature, and after long
and laborious canvass were elected in the
last struggle made by the old Wing party
in the county. With his colleague Major
Stone served the county ably and faithful
II IN the Legislature, and after his term of
service altogether retired from public life.
In all the relations of life Major Stone ftlrn-
ished an example worthy of imitation. He
was an exemplary husband and father; a
kind and affectionate relative; a social and
hospitable gentleman; kind and charita-
hs neighbor, and. above all, he was con-
siatent Christian.
Thus are passing away, one by one, the
men who were prominent in the. profes-
sions, and as business and public men, when
wa first came to Charles county. Soon
meme win be left. A great change has
been made in the social condition of our
people since they grew up and lived-a
change, we fear, which will not be favora-
bic to the development of such class of
men in the future. Let US, then, treasure
their memories, and initiate their virtues,
that their characters may assist in mould
ing, 90 far as possible, those who will sue
coed them in the places and duties oflife.

Cupid's Ambuscade.-The sly archer,
Love, shoots his arrows from many coigne of
vantage, but it is doubtful if he delivers his
heart-taking shafts from any ambush with more
effect than when he aims them from the braids
and folds and ringlets of superb head of hair.
Ladies who have not been favored by Nature
with this crowning charm of womanhood, can
readily and certainly increase the volume of
their hair and impart to it silken lustre by
using Lyons Kathairon as daily dressing
while those whom Providence has blessed with
a superabundance of this 'sGlory'' of the sex,
can preserve it, undminished, in quantity and
undminished in beauty to the latest period of
life. There is a terminating principle in the
Kathairon which literally compels the hair to
grow. 1t extirpates scurf, dandruff, and all ex-
foliations and excresences of the scalp which in
terfere with the rapid and healthy development
of the fibers.

How Not to Die.

Thousands fall prey to disease not be-
cause the maladies that affect them are
necessarily fatal, but because they lack the
requisite amount Of active vitality to make
a valiant resistance to the enemy. 1t Is a
wise precaution to keep the body always In
a state Of defense-always prepared to
"fend off, the germs Of epidemic and other
disorders, and to battle the evil influence of
damp miasma and sudden thermometrical
changes. There is no difficulty in doing
this. 1t is fact as well authenticated as
that two and two make four, that Hostel
ter's Stomach Bittersis specially adapted to
this purpose, and for the simple reason that
its invigorating and regulating properties
are superior to those Of any other medicine
IN the world. During the twenty years
that it has been in general use ample OPP
portunities have been afforded to compare
its medicinal properties with those of other
claiming to be of similar
class, and the result has been Its adoption
by the American people as the standard
tonic of the age, its Introduction into every
civilized portion OF the western heIni-
sphere, and an annual sale which dwarfs
into insignificance the demand for all its
would-be competitors.
The record upon which its popularity
rests is q curiosity in medical literature, for
II includes an almost unlimited variety OF
human ailments and disabilities. In fact,
no other remedy possesses such a variety
of hygienic virtues, and 1t Is to these char
acteristics that 1t owes its prestige as
household medicine.

If any OF our benevolently disposed
citizens address their contributions for
the relief Of the Somerset sufferers to
the committee whose names we pub
lished yesterday morning, their dona-
tons will probably be taken in charge
10y the administrators, executors, or
other representatives of those gentle-
men and applied to their intended use.
A closer inspection of the article In the
Cumberland Nc'oS, from which we de-
rived our information, reveals the fact
that the committee referred to was ap,
pointed in 1881 to superintend the dis
tribution of stores TO those who were
burned out by the destructive contla'
grafton of that year. The members OF
that committee are probably all dead
now, but we have no doubt that some
person may be found in Somerset who
remembers their services rendered forty
years ago and would be glad now to
distribute relief sent to their name.

We observed last Thursday, when
the call for the National Democratic
Convention was first published, the abb
sence of the name of Hon. JOHN j.
DAVIS, of this State, from the list of
members signing the call. We attached
no significance to it, however, but sup.
posed that he had been prevented by
other duties from attending the meet
ing in New York. 1t appears now
that Mr.. DAVIS was present and signed
the call but that, by a clerical error,
his name was omitted from the pub
lished list. The New York World of
last Friday remarks in reference to the
matter:
eve hope for their own sakes that
none of those suddenly developed
friends and well-wishers of the Demo-
cratic party who have been so anxious
to prevent it from committing the
fatal mistake" of holding a National
Convention have taken comfort to
themselves from the fact that West
Virginia did not appear in the list Of
States represented by the signers of the
call which has just been issued by the
National Committee. West Virginia
cordially Endorsed and signed that call
by her delegate, the Hon. John }.
Davis, who was present with his COL
leagues in this CITY and took an active
part in their deliberations. The
omission of his name with that of his
State was a clerical oversight merely
in preparing the call for publication.
1t will be fully remedied when West
Virginia rolls mp her votes next No

more Convention.
