A PHOTOGRAPHERS CHAT.

Scientists ind Professional Men Learning
the Amateurs Art.
The rapid growth of amateur photography
is something marvellous. Among the so.
ciety folks it has become perfect craze,
and scientific people have long recognized
its use.
Mr.. W. S. Bell, who is a practical pho
tographer, said to a reporter yesterday:
Engineers, physicians and scientists in
general are beginning to learn the science
of photography. A number of the hos
with the necessary outfit, and some
others are about to Introduce the camera.
When the instrument is kept near by pho
tographs of various parts of the anatomy
can easily be obtained withoutmuch trouble
and at little cost.
"0ne can see at a glance how the pro-
fession at large is benefited by these views.
From them the doctors prepare drawings to
illustrate articles in the medical magazines,
and the profession is improved.
I'm similar manner engineers can often
save themselves great deal of trouble by
taking their own pictures of the topography
of the country, or some building or other
object, the outlines of which they wish to
preserve. 1t is surprising indeed how many
doctors and professional men are learning
the business, and using the camera.
"EYen school girlsand those who spend the
summer in the country, the mountains or at
the seashore are supplying themselves with
Photographic outfits. 1t is not a craze but
a healthy indication. A number of views
of pretty spots can easily be taken, and
much good actually done"

A PECULIAR CASE.
A Woman Claiming Money Which, the
Police Say, Was Stolen.

A Woman Claiming Money Which, the
Police Say, Was Stolen.
Mrs. Mollie Moran, resident of Poplar
alley, Eighth ward, is prisoner in the Cen
tral station under somewhat peculiar cir
cumstances. Last Thursday morning four
small boys, Charlie Gallagher, Stephen
Burns, Willie Talbot and Leo Burns, while
playing ball on Bedford avenue knocked
their ball down Poplar alley, where it rolled
under the steps at Mrs. Moran's front door.
In getting it out the boys found package
containing lot of money. The boys ran
home with the cash and told their mothers,
who, after talking the matter over, divided
the money and decided to say nothing about
it to anyone.
The package contained $1,015, SO that
each of the women got a pretty good sum.
The possession of so much wealth was too
much for some of them, however, and they
had to tell the secret to their neighbors. In
this way the news reached the ears of Mrs.
Moran, under whose steps it had been
found, and she Immediately notified the
women that the money belonged to her, she
having hid it away under the steps for safe
keeping while she went to market on the
day the boys found it. She notified Con-
stable Clair and Deputy Constable Charles
Boyle, who went among the women and
succeeded in getting most of 1t together,
just how much is not known.
On Saturday morning Mrs. Burns, one of
the women who had divided the money, gave
the police notice of the affair and detective
was put to work on the case. The first step
was the arrest of Mrs. Moran. The money
cannot be found and Mrs. Moran refuses to
tell where it is, and when asked where she
got she says that is her business. The
police officials say she has been keeping
very bad resort. They say she has proven
by her actions and conversation that she
knew nothing about the money being under
the steps until it had been found, and they
are of the opinion that some Of the fire.
quenters of the house have stolen it and hid
it there. In fact they have about decided
where the money was stolen from as they
have report in their possession of rob-
berry that took place recently in this vicinity
in which about that sum was stolen. They
decline to say at present where the robbery
occurred.
A peculiar feature of the case is the part
taken by Deputy Constable Boyle. After
Mrs. Moran's arrest he called at the station
several times to see her, and finally was ad-
mitted by the Inspector, who thought Boyle
was trying to help straighten the matter out.
To the Inspectors surprise Boyle stepped
up to the woman's cell and said: 'Don't
say word to anyone about that money.
Don't give up word" Then he left. The
matter will be fully Investigated by the
police at once.

MUST DISPOSE OF 1T.

John Martin Gives Away Two-Thirds of
135 Gallons of MlIh-He Sells the Rest
Contracts the Cause.
John Martin. milk Shake" Martin, or
Honest John Martin, as he is severally
known, seems to have the courage of his
convictions, and announced that he would
sell buttermilk anG sweetmilk yesterday.
Avisit to his place on Smithfeld streetde-
veloped the fact that hewas giving away about
three times as much as he was selling. His
generosity was taken advantage of BY the
poorer class living in the back alleys, and
it was no exaggeration to say that fully 300
families enjoyed the blessing of pure sweet
milk, not half OF which cost them one
penny.
Little tots would come in with buckets as
big as themselves and 60 away in open
eyed amazement and so pleased at getting
something for nothing they even forgot to
say ''thank you" Many poor women came
in who were also cheerfully served, while
only the better class who could afford it,
paid for the milk.
'Here is the thing in a nutshell" said
John. "I am not antagoniZing the Law
and Order, and hope they will not object
to my getting rid of my milk on Sunday. 1
have contracts with farmers to take milk
seven days in the week, as they can't afford
to lose one days supply, nor can 1 afford to
lose the revenue. 1 must take the milk,
and, as it sours over Sunday this warm
weather, must dispose of it, and if we are
obliged to go back on the farmers, it will
make more enemies for temperance than a
score of our meetings can gain.
81 was left with 135 gallons of milk on
hands, and have given away, free, fully
two-thirds of it. 1 am not selling lemonade
or milk shakes; but there has been q good
demand for buttermilk at cents glass.
hear a lot of places are open to-day out
Penn avenue; but even if they are
sued, 1 don't think they will give me any
trouble for disposing of my goods. If they
do shall be obliged to pour into the
streets fifty or one hundred gallons of milk
every week, and can't afford to do that;
besides it would be a crying shame"
Mr.. Martin had poll boxes arranged, and
his visitors were requested to cast a straw
vote for or against the amendment. 1t was
his intention to carry the result to the
Opera House meeting last night, but the
result of the vote was so discouraging he
changed his mind. The votes were cast by
young and elderly men alike, some of his
callers being the best-known business men
in the city. The result showed fully 4 to
against" the amendment.

RAIL MAKING GOES ON
At Duquesne, Yet the Strikers Say They
Still Hope to Win.

At Duquesne, Yet the Strikers Say They
Still Hope to Win.
A telegram from Braddock last night said
that Duquesne seemed to be desolate spot,
so far as labor is concerned. Yesterday
something was being done in the big mill
of the Allegheny Bessemer Steel Company,
for smoke was issuing from dozen different
stacks, and the clink of the rails as they
were being handled by the italian laborers
proved corroborative. An attache of the
works SAYS they are making hundreds of
finished rails daily.
The strikers still deny that anything like
this is possible, as they have no men in the
finishing department who are capable of
turning out ra lis ready for the market.
So far but two of the strikers have re-
turned to work. They are Edward Williams,
son of one of the superintendents, and Pat
rick Crawford, of Port Perry. The Gil
hooley brot hers are still at work, but they
are forced to take their meals and sleep in
the same department of the company board
ing house with the Italians. They cannot
secure rooms with any of the families at
Duquesne.
A report that some of the machinists had
retu rned to work is incorrect. A new bat
terry of boilers recently put in by the flrm
was burnt out yesterday. This bad streak
is attributed to the green hands, who are
said to have allowed several other things to
happen equally disastrous.
A striker said, when spoken to in regard
to Duquesne's depopulation on Sunday.
"Thev get away from here whenever oppor-
tunity presents itself. as there is nothing
here but poverty and hard knocks. Nine
deputies are all there are at the place now.
Contributions continue to come in, and the
men think they will have won the strike
before the latter end of next week. The
mill is reported to be full of scrap and cob
bles, made so by the inexperienced work.
men, and the men say, even if they should
get to work soon, it would take week to
rid the mill up and put it in order"

'I suppose you do not know that there is
a recognized, well-deined and regular code
of signals in vogue among all the street car
drivers and conductors" was remark
made to a reporter on Southside street car
by an ex-conductor yesterday.
NO." was the rejoinder. "What do they
want with signal code?"
"Well, you must be green not to know
that! and you have been going back and
forward on street cars for years! suppose
you know that every street car company
employs inspectors or 'spotters'-as they are
called in New York-or else there are the
Superintendent, the directors of the
company or even the Prefident at it.
All these people naturally watch the driver
and the conductor of the car while they are
oil it. But an employe very soon gets on to
these fellows and he learns to know them
before he is two weeks on the car; and at
last he has things down so fine that I will
bet you anything driver can tell you, at
almost any time, who is out on the line
watching operations"
"But how is it possible 2"
SIT is very easy il you are initiated. Just
watch the driver on the next car coming up
the street when he is alongside of US. There
he goes. Did you notice him close his left
eye?"
"Yes."
"Well, that means: Be on your guard.
No, the next driver will probably close his
right eye, and our driver Immediately rec
ognizes by that that somebody is watching
in the succeeding car. A motion of the
lower lip, which draws up the chin, in
dicates that all is serene A lifting
of the right hand while pass
ing means that the driver who
makes that sign has the President on the
car; the left hand tells Of the Superintend-
ent's presence; q crack of the whip an
nounces spotter, and so on. There are
lot of signs which are exchanged all the
time, and while the passenger sits and
thinks, .these people are always on the alert
and watching things.
''The man who thinks that a street car
driver or a conductor has got position that
can be filed by anybody makes great mis-
take. A street car employe has got to be
wide awake or he will not be a street car
driver for long"
"Is that the reason you had to quit your
job?' the voluntary information bureau was
asked. But the man did not answer, be-
cause the driver on the passing car lifted
right hand at that moment.
"Good-byeP" he said, jumping of. 'I
am going into the car returning, and will
ask the boss whether he will take me on
again."

TIE OTHER SIDE Is MUM.

Neither MIR. Westinghouse Nor His At.
torneys Will Talk Now.
The attorneys who will prosecute the
Westinghouse side of the case are a formid-
able lot, and represent the best legal talent
of the East. They arrived last evening,
and stopped at the Duquesne. In the party
were Edward Wetmore, Hugh r. Garden,
j. E. Bull, Amos Broadnax, n. E. Curtis,
+. L. Pope.
George Westinghouse, Jr., was at the
hotel waiting for them, and they held o
short consultation. Mr.. Westinghouse was
seen BY reporter, but he said there was
nothing to say. Nothing now remained to
be done but to try the case.
The general impression is that no matter
which side wins little will be gained except
the prestige of success. An appeal will
doubtless be taken, and by the time final
decision is reached the patents will be run
out

CAN THIS BE SOP
MIR. MeCrncken Thinks the Campmeeting IL
on the Decllns-The Growth Of Churches
Hna RunaPaaAaH Vf

MIR. McCrncken Thinks the CampmeetinE 4.
ON the DeclIns-The Growth Of Churche.
Has Superseded 1t.
Is the campmeeting declining? Manager
McCracken, of the Methodist Protestant
book concern, says it is; DR.. Smith, of the
Christian AdUocate, SAYS it is not.
"The campmeeting, said Mr.. McCracken,
twas held in the early days of Christianity
when there were few churches. You know
Bryant says that "the groves were
Gods first temples" Some year.
ago when there were not many
meeting houses the Christian people
gathered together for worship in the woods,
on the street corners, or at any convenient
place in the open air. Hence arose the bush
meetings and the original campmeeting
idea. Within recent years the number oi
churches has increased, and to-day the meet
ing houses are ample and sufficient enough
to supply the people, and the ancient camp
meeting is fast dying out except in the
Western States, where the conditions are
now similar to what they were when our an
cestors were alive.
"But the modern campmeeting as a sort
of summer resort has sprung up. In the
strictest sense this is not campmeeting at
all, but where numbers of people collect in
one place to spend the summer, it is but
natural that they should have some spiritual
communion.
'"The principal objections to be raised
against campmeetings are the unavoidable
running of Sunday trains, taking money at
the gates and selling refreshments. These
are evils that the church is fighting, and
every year Christian people are taking less
interest in eampmeetings.
On the other hand, DR.. Smith did not be-
lieve the summer institution is dying out.
He admitted that money is taken at the
gates very often on Sunday, and some OBJ
jections have been raised to it. Nothing is
sold on campgrounds but what is absolutely
necessary to sustain life. The Tarentum
campmeeting may not be as well attended
as formerly, for the reason that two are
held where there used to be only one. Camp
meetings were first introduced by the Pres
byterians when churches were scarce.

AN AMALONG ANYHOW.
The Remains of That suicide Again Identi.
fed, and by Relative.

The Remains of That Suicide Again Identi-
fed, and by n Relative.
The remains OF the man who committed
suicide by shooting himself through the
heart, in Beltzhoover, on Friday morning,
have again been identified as those of John
Amalong, but not Jacob Amalong, a we'll
known character with whom tie deceased
was confounded. Yesterday afternoon
Richard C. Amalong, an employe of Wolf
& Howard's Glass Works, on the South
side, called at the morgue and positively
identified the body as that of his cousin,
who was a nephew of the Jacob Amalong it
was at first thought he was. The deceased
lived until recently at Bellevernon with his
mother, but, getting out of work, came to
this city to work at coal mining.
Richard Amalong said, in explanation of
his tardiness in making his appearance,
that he had been misled by the report that
the remains had been taken to Bellevernon
the day after the suicide for interment. He
came to the morgue as soon as he learned
the body was there. and will probably make
arrangements to have it inferred at Belle
vernon to-day
