Walter Hewitt is the enthusiastic pos
SCISSOR of a ''kodak''-a little camera
that is brick, and about the size of one.
1t is supplied with 1C0 plates, and the
only effort demanded of the operator is
to direct it at the scene or victim Sc
lected, touch button and press a
spring. This takes the picture and pro-
duces another plate ready for use. When
the 100 plates are exhausted, they are
removed and replaced by professional.
Il really can't call myself a photOg-
rapher," says Mr. Hewitt; my instru-
ment will not permit it. But it is great
fun. 1t came Saturday night, and early
Sunday morning l was out shooting at
anything from babies to barns, and
horses to houses"
Truman lngersoll began as an anna
teur, and at the last national cOnven-
tion of photographers took the first
prize as professional for architectural
work.
Miss Fullgraff. of Holly avenue, was
the first lady amateur photographer in
st. Paul. Her work would do credit to
a professional, and it is all her own, as
she finishes up her negatives, save in
exceptional instances herself. She
modestly refuses to admit that she has
extraordinary ability, but insists that
the degree of proficiency she has at
tanned is due entirely to the care she
has always exercised about her work.
She takes portraits and landscapes
equally well, and her success is really
wonderful.
Miss May Dunn, of Hazel Park, in
Spired by Miss Fullgraff's work, is eX-
ercising her talent in the same direc-
tion with excellent result.
Miss Florence Lamprey is an ambi-
tious little photographer. She develops
her own plates, and has taken some
pictures that rank among the best anna
teur work in town.
Mrs. Selves is such a universal
genius, it follows quite as matter of
course that she is photographer. Her
camera accompanied her in her last trip
South, and she brought back home nu-
merous vivid likenesses of Southern
types and Southern scenes.

lmpracticability of Making 1t
Free as Proposed by the Repub-
Iican Platform.
New York World.
The inconsistencies of the platform
adopted by the Rebublicans at Chicago
continue to crop out. The Democratic
committee placed it under microscope
the moment it was presented to
the public. 'and this scrutiny is
likely to develop further curl
osities. The declaration in the tariff
plank in favor of taking off the tax from
alcohol used in the arts has provoked no
little criticism. 1t is generally looked
upon as an indirect attack upon the en-
tire internal revenue system. and is so
regarded by the Democratic members
OF the ways and means committee and
of the finance committee in the senate.
'Alcohol to be used in the arts cannot
be made free without opening the door
to the. perpetratiOn of gross Frauds"
said Commissioner of Internal Revenue
Miller to World correspondent to-day.
''If the government supervision of this
alcohol is to cease the moment it leaves
the bonded warehouse it is evident
there will be no curb upon un-
limited swindling. We can never
know whether the person drawing
ten barrels of alcohol uses it
legitimately or not. The only safe
guard would be to organize a service to
follow that alcohol from the moment it
leaves the warehouse until it has en-
tered into the manufactured article.
Those who object to the present gov
ernment surveillance would not take
kindly to the army of new officials
necessary to carry out this plan.
1t has been suggested that alcohol
can be methylated, thus render
ing it unfit for consumption as bever-
age. There is no safeguard. The prod
uct can easily be redistilled and de-
methylated. There is no system known
which would protect the government,
and regard the idea of free alcohol in
the arts as absolutely impracticable."
Chairman Mills, of the ways and
means committee, said yesterday, in
discussing the question:
1.-The thing cannot be done. We ex-
amined into the subject very carefully
three years ago, when we were franz
ing the Morrison bill, and found that we
would be forced to repeal the entire
tax on whisky if we undertook to abol-
| iSh that upon alcohol to be used in the
arts. Should such law be passed we
would be surprised to find that every
ounce of whisky OF alcohol made in this
country was intended for manufactur-
ing purposes and not drop for con-
sumption as beverage. The tax
would be invalidated. We considered
the plan of repeating the tax on fruit
brandy when the present bill was being
fromed, but the same objection stood
in the way. The testimony of
experts showed that if the tax
were removed from fruit brandy the
doors would be thrown wide open to
FRAUDS of every description. We gave
much study to devising a system that
would meet the requirements of the
case, but found it i:npracticable and
were forced to abandon it,"
Senator Harris, of the senate finance
committee, considers the plan as alto
| gether chimerical. He said: s'It is but
a scheme of the Republicans to take off
| S120, 100000 year from whisky and to-
bacco so that the same amount may be
kept upon the necessaries of life."

Lazy Life of Washington Clerks

Lazy Life of Washington Clerks.
st. Louis Republic.
The clerks have lazy life here at
Washington compared with person who
perform clerical services in commercial
cities. They do not go to work untilsg
O'Clock in the morning and are off duty
more money than the average one could
possibly earn in any other calling, and
provisions and house rent are almost
as cheap as they are in st. Louis or any
large city. Young men who desire to
become lawyers or doctors have -Splen-
did chance here to attend fine colleges
and make good living while they are
acquiring an education, if they
can get into the departments.
A large percentage of those
who come here with such objects in
view become inert, however, fall into
bad habits, and are finally kicked out of
headlOng pace. They have too much
lOafing time, and become demoralized.
So-called fashionable society takes the
ambition out of many. They get into a
whirl-it is quite easy to do so-and
many of the better-looking ones vainly
Imagine they can marry the oStensibly
rich daughters of solid old congressman,
government officials or refined mer-
chants OF professional men who bring
their families to Washington. The dear
girls, as rule, are as sensible as they
are attractive, and the mercenary for
tune-hunter around the national capital
is not bowling success. The papas
and mammas have a deal of good sense,
and their daughters usually humor the
national capital dudes only for season
and then drop them, and wind up by
marrying men who have proven them
selves capable of battling with the
world.

winter was to pass law forbidding all
but professionals to engage in any oc-
cupation, and making the need of bread

labor should be permissible. How

BROUGHT TO BELIEVE IT.
1t is doubtful whether. if they once
knew the delights of sowing and spin
ming, even the lilies Of the field would
not ever after refuse to live in idleness.
One is constantly hearing so many
pretty stories about amateurs that it is
difficult to imagine how the most big
Oted Knight of Labor could criticise
their methods or dispute their right to
be. There is one dear old lady in St.
Paul whose physical wants are comfort
ably provided for, but whose purse,
like, alas! the purses of the
majority of women, dear, old, or other
wise, is oftener empty than full. She
is too proud spirited, like the majority
of women again, to beg money from the
brother who supports her and she is as
generous as sheis proud.She does drawn
work beautifully, and to get funds for
the different charities in which she is in
terested, she sells her work at about one
half the price person doing the same
for a living could afford. With money
SO obtained she sent conSumptive girl
South for the winter last year, and this
summer paid all the expenses of an
operation that gave man back his eye

to give exceeds her ability to get, with
out some effort on her part, is an adept
at manufacturing paper flowers and
last Easter her Offering was made up of
the proceeds of flowers sold during the
winter. The braided gowns and wraps
that have been So fashionable the past

both the man who, by the crime ol

crime, is placed beneath it, should be
forced by legislation to remain III the
state ;of idleness whereinto they

not lniure the market of honest labor
by throwing their products into il below

a cash value on his efforts, and COM
petes with the knight for public patron
