This gallery is fitted up in the most
elegant and tasteful manner, with
beautiful fancy and other surroundings
so essentially necessary to give tone

secured all the, modern Improvements
known to the art, and while his gallery

is enabled to furnish tirst.class photo
graph at prices which are really
astonishing. BY the instantaneous
process he can furnish perfect photo
graph in an almost incredible period
He employs none but the most talented
artists, and can therefore guarantee
entire satisfaction. The large patronage
that has been bestowed upon him here
tOtore Is the most convincing evidence
that cln be given Of the superiority of
photographs taken at his rooms, AS well
as the reasonable character Of his prices.
The public would consult its interests
by paying Il visit to his rooms before

Chicago Lard.

CHICAGO, August 22.-The reading
this morning of the report of the com.
mittee appointed to investigate charges
of aduIterating lard made against Fow.
ler Bros, verified the statement made
in these dispatches last night. The
particular charge against the firm of
rendering a quantity of adulterated
lard to McGeoch, Everingham & Co.,
was not verified, and the committee ex.
onorated the firm on that point. The
report proceeds, however, and takes the
stand that Fowler Bros. deserve un.
qualified disapproval and censure for
the methods they have observed in
manufacturing prime steam lard. The
employment Of secret pipes and other
appliances, the report declares, lays the
firm open to suspicion of using cotton
seed oil and other contraband articles
in making lard, and unless the oppor-
tunity for even this suspicion is remov-
ed, the Board of Trade should be re-
lieved from all responsibility in the
matter. The report concludes by ex-
pressing qualification ut the result Oh
tained by the investigations, and de
clares that as the results OF the scien-
tific research provoked by the trial, the
detection of impurities in lard by the
employment Of the microscope can be
easily effected, and that the placing
of an impure article upon the market
could be made practically impo.si-
BILE if proper inspection takes place.

Never fill huge tray with cover dish

REMOVING CLERKS.
GEN. Gresham Clean-
ing out Usele ess Clerks.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-In Wash
ington letter to Philadelphia newspa-
per the other day, it was stated that
!" Postmaster-G General Gresham is not
much of a reformer," that he ordered
the Third Assistant PostmasterGenerAl
to make four vacancies in his Otfirr,'
which was done, and that Gresham,
no doubt, had some friend, that had TO
be provided for before he Civil Ser
vice Reform business began" The facts
are as follows
Congress at the last session provided
for dispensing with thirteen clerks in
one division of the Post-ot1ice Depart
ment. Nearly all the clerks in that
division were women whose clerical
abilities were far above the average.
Before Judge Howe died, he told them
that at the beginning Of Che next fiscal
year, when the reduction was to take
effect, he would provide for as many Of
them as he could in other divisions Of
the Department. They were all needy
and deserving persons as well as excel
lent clerks, and he thought he could
make room for them
When General Gresham came into
Office the situation was explained to
him. Upon investigation he found that
the services of certain clerks could be
spared and their places filled TO the ad-
vantage of the Government with the
women clerks who were about to be-
displaced by the action of Congress.
None of these clerks were personally
known to him. He did not hesitate to
make the change.
In the publication above referred to
the case of one clerk who was removed
is described as a very hard one. That
clerk is reputed to be a man in com
Portable circumstances. While he
possessed good clerical qualiticat ons
his superiors found that his time and
thoughts were so much occupied with
a fine country residence which he is
building rs seriously to impair his eff
cheney. His retirement from the public
service enabled the Postmaster General
to retain another clerk equally compe-
tent, whose attention to public duties
will not be interrupted by the building
or care of a country house.
General Gresham says that he did
create one vacancy in order to make a
new appointment. The lady he appoint
ed is grand-niece of George Washing
ton, and is not personal acquaW'a, ,oe
Of his. She was in need of II, opp'"-
tunity to work in order to support her
self, and her appointment was person
ally urged by a prominent military officer
who is fully acquainted with her cir
cumstances and knows her TO he
worthy.
