A FORTUNE WASTED.

Twelve Million Dollars Absolutely Thrown
Away by Photographers.
Idesire to call the special attention
of my brother photographers to the great
waste of money which is absolutely
thrown away every year by the pho
tographers of America. 1t is estima ted
that there is from S4O,000 to $50. 900
worth of nitrate of silver and gold used
by the photographers every year in our
little city of Chicago alone, and as much
more in the great State of Illinois: and
81, ,OO0, 900 worth of nitrate of silver and
gold is very low estimate for the pho
tographers to use every year in making
their countless millions of photographs
in the United States alone. At least
$500, 900 of this hard-earned money could
have been saved that was wasted, thrown
away, in solutions in the washing and
fixing these millions of photogra phs
Could all OF this waste for the past
twenty-five years have been saved, the
enormous amount would surprise every
one of you, as it would reach the enor-
nous sum of S12, 500, 600 quite enough
to retire every photographer of America
to-day with an independent fortune, to
say nothing about the annual interest of
this vast sum, which certainly would
have doubled the whole amount that
has been wasted in the past Twenty-Five
years rs.-Photographic Times.

Some Good Stories Of the Founder Of th
Fanlly Of llllliOnaires.

Some Good Stories Of the Founder Of the
Family Of dlllionaires.
The reading given recently by Mrs.
Coventry Waddell at her Stuyvesant
Square home served to bring out many
interesting new anecdotes Of Commo-
dore Vanderbilt. Mrs. Waddell's friend
ship with tho founder Of tho Vanderbilt
family was lifelong and her recolleo-
ttons of tho great money-getter are of .
nature to cast = strong light upon his
personality. Tho following story illus
trative Of his energy and push in early
youth was told. .-,
1t Is well-known fact that for years
Commodore Vanderbilt sailed per
iauger" and in it took daily = cargo of
green groceries to tho New York mar.
ket. Tho shrewd way in which he be-
came skipper Of his first craft is thor
oughly characteristic. It seems that At
the age of sixteen ''Neilly" had devel-
oped strong affection for rowing, sail
ing and other water sports. An old
Staten Island fisherman had sail-boat
Which he offered to sell for 500, and,
"Neilly" thought that If he could only
become tho owner Of this particular boat
he would indeed be happy. He hadn't
tho money, however. and as q last re-
source, applied to his mother.
'Neilly," she said, "you see that
eight-acre lot out there" pointing to an
unpromising-looking stony field.
NELLY" said he did. "Well, if you
will plow, harrow and seed that lot you
shall have the $780," "Neilly" induced
several boys of tho neighborhood by
promises of jolly excursions, to turn in
and help him. In week they had the
job done, and the 500 was paid over.
''Neilly" then beat the owner Of the
boat down to sos, and purchased the
craft at that price. The Commodore to
the end Of his days never ceased to re-
gret that ON his first sail he broke hole
in tho boats bottom that it cost S to re-
pair.
Mrs. Waddell once remarked to the
Commodore, 81 dare say, many wealthy
New-Yorkers would be happy if they
had pockets in their shrouds, in which
6ey could carry to the next world the
wealth they accumulate in this"
"Ah, no." replied Mr.. Vanderbilt. I'll
shrouds had pockets the strife and tur.
moil on Wall street would be increased
four-fold."
At ono time, while living on Staten
Island, the Commodore had AN exasper>
atingly balky horse. He never could be
sure that the brute wouldn't stop in the
middle of the road, and he often walked
in preference to taking chances with
the animal. One day he started out and
had driven only about half mile wher
the beast came to dead halt. An en-
energetic belaboring, backing and saw
ing had no effect and the Commodore
turned around and went home. He go1
a bag of lumpsugar and again started
out, leading the horse and feeding him
lump Of sugar every few steps. This
Sc continued until the place where the
horse balked was passed, after which he
got in and had no difficulty in driving t<
his journeys end In telling the story
to Mrs. Waddell, he said: II have tried
the same course ofprocedure with WON
en- and it has always proved effective."-
