TEE AUSTRALIAN BALLOT,

Ex Representative Guy Ward Mallon,
prominently identified with the adop-
IiOn of the Australian ballot law, in
Ohio, has been interviewed, in CleVe-
land, and tells how the straight ticket"
marking was brought about, which led
to 80 many mistakes at the last election.
1t will be surprising to many to learn
that Ohio stands the second state IN
illiteracy. Mr.. Mallon says:
"rhe only serious trouble that we had
in Cincinnati was that many a voter
who desired to vote straight put his
cross at the left of the name of the can
didate for governor. The plan Of ar
ranging for straight ballot in that
way was net included in my bill orig
inally and those of u who had thor
oughly studied the Australian laws of
other states and were familiar with the
difficulty with the straight ballot which
was encountered in Indiana, did not
favor allowing man to vote straight
by making one CROSS, but advocated
that every voter be required to place a
cross at the left of the name of every
candidate for whom he intended to
vote. 1t was argued, however, that
many voters who could distinguish be.
tween a capital ID and a capital X could
not vote without assistance IL required
to read and mark every name sepa-
rately. So, as a concession to those who
were making a plea for the illiterate,
this provision, which has been the
means of so many losing their votes on
all except the gubernatorial candidates,
was adopted. While the bill was pend
ing looked up the statistics in regard

iourned subject to call without announc-
ing whether it had taken any steps
toward making peace with the Associa-
ton. A rumor prevailed that Messrs.
Brush. Soden and Robinson had been
appointed committee to confer with
the Association, but this was emphati-
cally denied by the delegates. 1t was
said, however, that Mr.. Soden, of the
Boston League club, and Mr.. Prince, of
the Boston American Association club,
would continue to talk the matter over,
and through them the League and Asso-
citation might come to some agreement.

ance Arrive in Indianapolis.
+ INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 14.-Tlghman,
McCune and Turner, the first Of the
two latter president and the last named
secretary and treasurer of the National
Farmers Alliance, are here in advance
of the delegates to the supreme council
of that organization that is to meet
here Tuesday. Wardell came in late in
the evening and he, with the others
named constituting the executive COM
mittee, talked over the work of the
committee that is to be done between
now and Tuesday. This will consist
chiefly in auditing the books and ac-
counts. 1t is expected that forty states
will be represented in the council. No
outline Of policy has yet been given out
by the committee, nor will there be
any until Monday, when the executive
committee will have its work well in
hand. The general headquarters will
be at the Hotel English, and those of
the committee at the Bates House.
Much that is to be done relates to what
was accomplished at Ocala, but point
of chief interest will be the policy to be
pursued relative to nominating a ma
tional ticket. The council is not unani-
nous ON this count, nor will it be, but
the Identification of the alliance as q
separate political organization will prob,
ably be the outcome. The business ses.
sions of the council will be secret, but
each afternoon and evening Tomlinson
hall will be open to the public.

A MAN PLAYING BALL WITH HIS OWN HEAD.
ground, we need not trouble ourselves
with hungings OF black cloth, but simply
open window on cloudy evening, if we
are TO use n flash light, or if the picture is
to be taken by daylight, we may open the
door of dark room or building and obtain
a BACKGROUND both theoretically and prac-
tically nonactinic.
With such a nonactinic background
many interesting and amusing photo
graphs may be made by n process of null
tiple exposure. The cut for instance, rep
resents man playing ball with his own
head. This picture was taken at night by
means of fash light, three exposures bo-
ing necessary, the open window forming
the background. The two small heads
were first taken in succession, the person
represented standing on the balcony out
side with black cloth thrown over his
body and the light from flash lamp being
thrown upon his head as he posed in the
different positions. He then took the po-
sition represented in the engraving, and
another flash imprinted his whole figure
and the walls of the room upon the plate,
which, when developed, gave the amusing
result shown in the illustration.
Numerous other applications Of this
principle will at once occur to every pho
tographer, and the process is so simple
that very unique effects can be obtained by
any amateur possessed of the ordinary
amount of patience and ingenuity. An
important point in such pictures is to have
the different images fall upon their proper
place on the plate. This is easily secured
by attaching to the ground glass bit Of
gummed paper showing the position of the
smaller images-the heads in the cut, for
example. Then, when the principal ex-
posure is made, the relative position of the
different images can be accurately adj
justed by moving the camera in the usual
way The foregoing illustration, which
originally appeared in La Nature, was re-

1t will be remembered that the Nc
Kinley tariff increased the duties on
glassware from 40 and 45 per cent. to a
uniform rate of 60 per cent, and at the
same time imposed this latter duty on
the cost of packages and charges, adding
about 10 per cent. more to the go per
cent.
Immediately after the passage of the
Mckinley tariff the manufacturers Of
glassware met and formed o trust to
take advantage of the increased duties
and raise prices.
While the glassware trust was getting
in its work the orockery trust cut down
wages and increased prices. Does not
this show for whom the Mckinley tariff
law was enacted and does it not also
show how those trusts which demanded
its enactment have taken full advantage
