Tenney, a'commercial drummer from
Boston, hitherto of sunbleniished repu-
tation, turned suddenly to thieving'hy
taking advantage Of the freedom ac-
corded him in customers offices. His
plan was to take only a part of the
money from an open safe, and he had
done so insseveral Vermont towns when
a suspicious merchant had him arrested.
Acareful search of'his clothing yielded
nothing, and he might have been re-
leased if somebody had not looked
under his hatband, where the stolen
money was concealed.

throughout the Eastern States has been great
and it comes to the Pacific Coast indorsed by
the certificates Of Dr. s. Dana Hayes, State AS
saver OF Massachusetts,, and DIR. III. G. Louder

purest article that can be used either medci-
nally or for family purposes It's particularly
efFoaeious in cases of indigestion and nervous
affections, and can be used with the utmost

standard alcoholic strength and free from ad
tled flavoring oils, acids, metals, or other dele
terious substances Dir. Hayes further says il

dietetic and medicinal purposes. Such recon-
mendations are the strongest that can be fur
nished, and as there are thousands OF letters

Progress of Picture-Taking by Means Of

electric light in them," said an enthu-
siastic North Eighth street photograph
er. Electricity will be a great power
in the art of picture taking in time; its
possibilities are simply hmitless. 1t
will enable us to defy the weather and
tell old Sol to hide his head and be
hanged The only reason why it has
not come into general use is because it
is new thing, and, as yet, rather
costly. The generators cost $500 or
500 each, and, besides, very few ar
fists have required steam power in
the buildings in which their studios
are"
The use of the electric light for pho
tographic purposes, while not as yet
generally used in this country, has for
some time past been in successful oper-
alton in London, Paris and other cities
in Europe. 1t is used by two or three
houses in New York with excellent re-
suits in the work OF enlarging photo
graphs from negatives. 1t has been
employed experimentally by photo
graphers in Philadelphia, but has not
rs yet been permanently adopted.
Among the places which have been
photographed here were the storing
room, at Bctz's brewery and the'restau-
rant at the Continental Hotel. Both,
of course, were taken at night, and the
pictures are really excellent"
THE INSTRUMENTS USED.
The Instruments used with theselec-
trio light. said the photographer above
alluded to, 'are the same as those en-
ployed in solar work You have the
ordinary camera, lens and stand. The
aensitized plate is prepared in the regu-
lar way, but made sensitive to greater
degree than usual. The light is placed
to the side and little forward of the
sitter, and reflector is used for the
purpose of diffusion. The light might
be placed directly over the sitter, but
practically it seems to be more effective
when put on the side. The shadows
are softer, pleasanter and less black
than those made by sunlight. and one
can do away altogether with screens
and curtains for toning down The
only difficulty is to find the best angle
of reflection, and that, of course, would
be overcome with practice.

think it delightful lark, and it is be-
coming the correct thing to have every
new evening toilet perpetuated by the
electric photographer. The pictures

taken by sunlight, though they may be
trihe less bold and sharp. Some peo-
pie, however, rather admire indistinct-
ness in n photograph. They call it
