in torrents and the wind blew perfect gale
while the lightning was fearful to behold. Men,
women, and. children ran out of their homes
crying and screaming for shelter, and the whole

was struck by lightning and totally demolished
Alex Gregorys house was also ruined by the
storm The large shade trees surrounding the
court house were completely moved down by the
wind as if they were but reeds The Robinson
hotel was badly demoyalized. The rain fell in
such torrents that the roof caved in and deluged
the interior of the house with water to such an
extent as to almost ruin the structure. The
widest excitement prevailed for time, but, the
worst over, the people became calm and set to
work to repair the damage Your correspond

THE newspaper dead beat abounds
in many forms and in all DISCUSSES.
Whatever may be his assumption, he
is the same rogue, and should be ex-
posed The newspaper dead beat is
not peculiar to America. In France
he is legion, and he phys his devious
methods more openly there than he
would dare do it on this side of the
water. The continued attacks on
Mile. Van Zandt by the scribblers of
the Boulevard press is the most
marked exhibition of the journalistic
beats recently given. 1t is said the
demonstration made nightly in the
opera house whenever this lady APP
pears, and the attacks upon her by
the venal newspapers, is because she
would not submit to some of the
methods common between artists and
critics in the French capital. Mile. Van
Zandt is an American, and she fights
the dead beat journalists with a hero
ism that will command the admiration
of all honest newspaper people.

THE decision of the Uuited States
supreme court is, in substance, that
the Edmunds law DISTINGUISHING the
polygamist citizens of the territory,
is constitutional, because Congress
has sole and complete power to make
law for the territories. But it also de-
cides that the election registration Of
ficers areliable in damages to any citi-
zen for mistakes in preventing him
from casting his vote. Practically,
this annuls the law, as the election Of
ficer is not likely to take any steps
rendering him liable to the hundreds
of suits for damages which the Nor
mon voters would bring against him.
Before it is effective the law will need
further amendment.

Instant Photography.

(From the New York Times
Astonishing feats of instantaneous
photography are frequently chroni-
cled by the press, and certainly no one
could be more astonished on reading
of these feats than are photographers
themselves.
For example, it was mentioned the
other day in a Chicago paper that a
photographer while he had his head
under the focusing-cloth, with his lens
directed at a lady whose portrait he
was about to take, saw a strange
man rush at her and seize her purse.
The photographer instantly touched
a spring and caught the robbers like
ness, and although the latter had dis
appeared when the photographer is
sued from beneath the focusing-cloth
the malefactor was Unidentified by his
photograph and was afterward ar
rested.
What astonishes a photographer who
reads this interesting anecdote is the
apparent fact that a Chicago photog-
rapher can take portraits without a
plate, whether wet or dry. Other
photographers have to use a sensi-
tized plate; but, as this can be placed
in the camera only after the photog-
rapher has finished the task Of focus
ing and has withdrawn his head from
the focusing cloth, it is evident that
the Chicago photographer used no
plate. The reader of the story in
question who knows nothing of pho
Biography may see nothing incredible
IN it, since the general public has the
impression that photographs can be
taken with a lens and camera alone.
We need not, however, wonder that
photographers are astonished at the
Chicago story and decline to believeit.
Careful inquiry reveals the fact that
the story was true, and that an unex-
pected robber was really photo
graphed instantaneously without the
aid of a sensitized plate. 1t happened
in this way. The photographer in
question was in the habit of making
his own dry plates, and while engaged
in this process he accidentally trans
ferred some sensitized gelatine film to
the inside Of his focusing cloth. When
he placed his head under the cloth
this film was again accidentally trans
ferred to his nose, and when the image
of the robber was projected by the
lens upon the photographers nose an
impression was made. a few mo-
ments later, while developing a plate,
irritation Of the tip of the nose COM
PEELED the photographer to rub that
organ with fingers wet with the devel-
oping agent. The result was that a
picture appeared, and when the pho
tographer looked at himself in the
glass he saw a fairly good portrait ex-
tending from the tip of his nose up
ward for the distance of three-quarterrs
of an inch. He instantly 'fxed" it
with hyposluphite of soda, and it was
upon the evidence of this nose that
the robber was Unidentified and ar
rested. Thus we see that the story
in it's true form is simple and credible,
whereas in the form in which it was
originally published it was absolutely
impossible.

amount OF silver, are OF Just the same
weight and fineness as half the dollars
made by Uncle Sam, but they are still
counterfeits, and cannot be circulated
as money because of their being made
by private individuals instead Of the
