eE1r7sa THEIR r1crUREs TAKEN.
The Whims Of the Patrons Of q Photo
graph Gallery.


s'Flattery is the cousin Of art in this BUSH
ness, said well-known photographer to
TATTLER reporter. "The man who can
produce the best lie is the successful artist.
There is no place in the world like photo
grapher's gallery for the study of human
nature. There is the dude with the ounce
seed bangs, and the stage-struck girl with
the flowing train. In a drawing-room their
foibles are not so apparent, but let them sit
for picture and their mania is sharply de-
fined"
"You would be surprised to see the num-
Der of customers who come here with the
portrait of some distinguished person or
actor, and request that we posed them in
the same manner. OAe of our most inter
esting customers is the man who is conf
Dental. He is usually rurulist who is
passing into the decline of life. He has
promised his children that he will sit for a
'pictur, and he is going to do it. But by
and by when he is being posed the fact
will stick out all over that he is some gay
old lover, and that some country maiden on
the shady side of forty is reserving a place
in the family album for it.
"Babies are the hardest to photograph,
are they not?'
''No, indeed, they are not since the intro
duction of the instantaneous system. Years
ago, when youngster had to sit still tor
fifteen minutes and the operator was COM
PEELED to do all in his power to amuse and
attract its attention, then it was hard and
no mistake about it, The most troublesome
people nowadays is the babies mothers.
Especially the woman who wants her six
months old baby taken with nothing but
smile on. Nude pictures are prohibited by
law, yet 20 per cent. of the women who
come here ask US to photograph their
babies in that condition. OF course we re-
fuse, unless they will consent to drape the
youngsters with something. The dude
whose hair is arranged to the fraction of
an inch is hardly less trouble than the
baby. If he has rolling coat collar the
watch must be placed in the upper left
hand pocket of the vest, and the chain run
through the second button-hole and carried
to the opposite pocket. If the vest is but
toned high not particle of shirt front
must show. Everything must be arranged
with the utmost precision, and then the
dude kicks because Nature has not made
his features more regular.

The Journal put itself to so much pains
on Monday to conceal the fact that it was
the enterprise of the SUNDAY TATTLER that
gave the very interesting story of Tom Pot
ter and widow Plume to the public, that it
must have CALLED the little souls of the
managers of that sheet to print Mr.. Pot
ter's own tribute to the TATTLERs enter
prise in its columns on Tuesday. sAll the
New York papers of this morning" got the
credit for our stroke of enterprise in its
issue Of Monday. "The story given in the
TirTLER of Sunday and copied, with more
or less variations into the New York papers
Of Monday" was what they allowed Mr..
Potter to say for us in its issue of Tuesday.
The Journal was equally careful not to
give the TATTLER credit for the story of the
outrageous arrest of Mrs County Clerk
Van Horn in New York; though its story,
published Monday, was, as far as it went,
word for word reprint of our story of
Sunday. The TATTLER is SO accustomed to

Plugged For All He was worth.

At an early hour yesterday morning the
Hudson City police force were called out to
quell an incipient riot. The result was
that Thomas Carroll occupied the press a
seat IN the prisoners pen, yesterday morn
ing. Thomas looked horribly dilapidated
about the face, and his explanation about
the cuts and bumps was remarkably graphic
Eye see, Judge" he spoke, through his
swollen lips, 'fthere was sixteen or seven
teen of them jumped on me, on Franklin
street, and they plugged me for all was
worth. Then the cops ketched me-" As
none of the other eighteen were caught,
Thomas was discharged.

Mr.. sTom" Potter, having observed that
the TATTLER's story about him last Sunday
was good one, believes, with the philoso-
pher in "Sartor Resdrt,ts," that it would be
a big thing on the existing order of society
ssif young men between the ages Of IS and
Is were to be kept barreled up" This is
exceedingly fattering to the youth
of the editor of the TATTLER,
but Mr.. Potter hasn't evidently
seen the grey hairs on the editors chin yet.
We must have always been clean shaven
when We met him. We.are nimble}enough,
however, even in our old age to run down all
the news. But hold Is it to Mr.. Potter
that we are indebted for the compliment on
our youth We suspect that it is ex-Cor-
poration Attorney Douglas who is entitled
to our thanks. Mr.. Potter, as his letter to
Mrs. Plume, published last Sunday shows, is
q finished rhetorician; but that letter over
his name in the Journal Of last Tuesday is
scarcely in his vein.

Among the patients in the Morris Plains
Asylum is boy who was known as a
sslightning calculator" He knows nothing
but figures, and can still work out the most
difficult problems. His mania is that his
brain is composed of little blocks which are
covered with figures and which by falling
into their proper places, work out any
problem submitted to him. But this is
hardly mania. 1t is the equivalent of the
explanation given by every s9ightning cal
culator" we ever heard of. When asked how
they accomplish their feats they say they
cannot tell--that when oae set of figures
is given them they instantly fade away and
in their mind they see new and simple
combination, the result of which is the an
swer to the problem given. Between this
and the Morris Plains boys blocks there is
very little difference.

The two parties to the Mop Kelsey
controversy are altogether too fnical If
Mr.. Kelsey can prove that conversation be-
tween Sewell and Mop herson in which each
bargained to sell his party to the other,
was overheard, he owes it to the Demo-
cratic party of the State of New Jersey TO
prove it. He should not wait till Mr.. Nc
Pherson gets down on his knees to hin and
prays him 10 convict him of the conspiracy
with which he charges him. If on the
other hand, Mr.. Mcpherson knows that no
such conference was held, he should defy
his accuser to produce his proofs without
bubble as to the form of the challenge. It
is he who suffers by the delay. 1t serves
to confirm the suspicion in the public
mind. If he is not satisfied to address Mr..
Kelsey direct, let him force his accusers to
the front by prosecuting them for SANDER
and libel. 1t satisfies no one to have Mr..
Mcpherson say in response to the charges
that the source from which they emanate is
beneath contempt. He could have said
that of any one who might have been re-
sponsible for them. That goes for nothing.
1t looks like subterfuge. Nor is it true.
Mr.. Secretary of State Kelsey is not the
kind of man to give birth to SO libelous a
romance.

Professor w. c. Wilson's .Actina.'

Among the many wonderful inventions
which are attracting the public attention
at the present time, none seem to border so
near to the marvellous as Prof. Wilson's
wonderful 'sActina" battery. This little
instrument restores the natural circulation
to the head, the eye, ear, nose and throat,
and by its use all diseases of these parts
are cured. Its efficacy ia the restoration
of sight and hearing, and the cure of that
most common Of diseases, catarrh, is get
ting in this city patronage for it that it
fully merits Prof Wilson's garments and
the knowledge of their power in the treat
ment of chronic diseases has made it easier
for the public to accept with favor the
marvellous reports of what ssActina" will do
for the diseases it is applicable to. Con-
suftation and examination may be had free
at the props Office, Room II, Fuller's build
ing, Montgomery street, where there is
commodious elevator, making it one of the
most accessible offices in the city for the
masses who daily pass the door to tn fer

it of special interest to the ladies, who are
cordially invited to call and examine it.

front with reference to the alleged con-
spiracy of United States Senators Sewell
and MCPHERSON to perpetuate their hold
upon their seats in the United States SEN
ate by sacrifice of their respective par
ties. They had been dumb as oysters
about the matter heretofore, but both
tackled it Tuesday, and in manner that
indicated that their "bosses" had told
them to speak, and what to say. and when
to say it. The TATrLER has no master to
serve but the dear people, and them it
proposes to serve to the extent of its cap
acity. 1t can afford to give both sides of
the story without prejudice to either, and
will do SO as rapidly as it is developed. One
of the neatest proofs of the charge made
against the two Senators is that these two
organs of the corporations speak only to
defend them.

ministration. But will the Pioneer kindly
tell us how it happened that when the
Democrats came into power they found
every Office in the country filled by Re
publican Must there not have been some
Democrats turned out to bring about such
condition of affairs2 There was no talk
of civil service humbug in those days. The
watchword was "bounce," and bounce it
was, from top to bottom. It was to get the
rascals out that the country voted for a
change, and unless the changes are made,
in some form or other, it is very likely the
bottom will fall out of something some

We notice in some Of the state papers,


We notice in some Of the State papers,
statements exaggerating the cost to the State
of the contest the railroads are working
against the enforcement Of the new tax
laws. These reports say that the expendi-
lures will probably reach up into the seven
noughts that means millions. The cost
to the State, all told, will not exceed $780,
600. we learn upon inquiry, and the amount
in contest between the Central Railroad
alone and the State, is nearly three times
that sum. Animadversion has also been
INDUCED in because of the fact that Sites
and Harrison, the State Boards experts,
have received SIS, 900 for their labors. This
item represents large number of hands
employed. and covers the whole expense
incurred by the State Board in hunting out
railroad possessions, ard ascertaining ard
fixing their values. The reports to which
we refer were evidently inspired by the
railroads fighting the State Assessors, to
make capital for themselves on this ques-
ton in contemplated contest in the
Legislature on this question.
