AN HOUR IN A PICTURE GALLERY
And What Was There Learned Of the Pres
ervation Of Negatives.
RETOUoHIEG IS PROFITABLE WORK

The originals are at Cresson, Ebensburg,
Lake Cha utauqua, Long Branch, Newport,
Saratoga, Cape May, and in Europe, wnlcn
only serves to heighten the interest regard
ing the -likenesses that gaze down on one
from the walls of this acknowledged upper
ten" photograph parlor. Here are the lead
ers of the social, professional, financial and
theological world. They will not be inter-
viewed, they positively refuse to talk, but,
unlike their originals, they do SO without
changing the very pleasing expressions with
which they first greeted the reporter. In
passively they regard the telltale paper
and pencil, and the owner thereof; even
the radiant brides, in their glorious robes,
have an air of easy indifference directly at
variance with the futter of excitement
with which they greeted the same not many
months ago, when they protested that they
didn't want one word said about the we'd
ding" and then proceeded to give even the
most minute detail of the affair.
Even Judge Acheson looks with apparent
unconcern from the position he occupies In
the gallery as well as in the legal world,
while the handsome face of Mr.. c. L. Magee
is as smiling as if his brain was not busy at
the present time concocting dozen distinct
schemes that he wouldn't have reporter
know for the world-at least not until they
are perfectly ripe.
LOOKS JUST AS HAPPY.
And Andrew Carnegie looks as happy and
pleased as he did that evening last winter
when, on the platform Of the charming lit
tie music hall, surrounded by his clan-elect,
he formally presented the magnificent build
ing known as the Carnegie Free Library tc
the citizens of Allegheny, through the
medium of their Mayor, to whom he de.
livered the keys, and from whom he heard
the joyous thanks of the people; or per
haps as happy as he looked when he pre-
sented Mrs. DR.. Stanley Gas she must nov
be called, since, with the aid of the fun
provoking students, Oxford has decreed j
| so) that famous diamond that called fortf
| her unbounded thanks-and any number o
newspaper items on the tariff question.
| Here is Rev. DR.. White, rector OF st
Andrews Episcopal Church, as peaceful
looking as any of the lambs he has led int
the fold; and Rev. DR.. Kumler. pastor o
the East Liberty Presbyterian Church
looking as if there were no such thing a
knotty problem in theology.
But what face is this that looks forth s.
speakingly from its modest little frame o
black and gold; a countenance known t
thousands, and one that thousands have ha'
occasion to bless; one who is not at any o
the watering places, nor in Europe, at tn
present time, though all of those places hav
been graced by his presence in years gone by
The last journey, however, taken by tn
great philanthropist, Mr.. William Thaw
was to the unknown shore from whence n
traveller returns, and in the proximity
that of another well-known man, who ha
also passed to the other shore-the late Car
tain Jones, whose sudden death last wInte
was most severe blow to bis wide circle {
