Something New in Decoration.

A California invention has just been
patented which bids fair to revolutionize
the methods now in vogue for decorat-
ing glass and porcelain. The object of
the invention is to SO decorate such sur
faces as to produce and permanently fix
upon them impressions of figures, por-
traits or scenery.
A sheet of glass or porcelain is covered
with an emulsion, and after being sub
jected to dry heat is placed over a pho
tograph, engraving, etching or any kind
of drawing. The glass or porcelain,
after being sensitized, is exposed for
about three minutes in a strong sun
light. After the exposure is made the
picture is developed by the use of cer-
annie powders of any color desired.
The powder is taken dry and sifted
evenly in the desired locations and
brushed over with soft brush. Grad
ually the images develop on the plates,
green foliage, brown trunks and branches
appear, vivid and true to nature. When
the image is thus developed a thin coat
ing of hux is applied, the plate is put
into firing furnace, and the picture
becomes permanent. - San Francisco

Weighs 875 Pounds; Wants to Weigh 900.
Before his recent visit to wonderland,
in this city, John Harmon Craig had
travelled more than 100000 miles. 1t is
long journey, but John has much size.
The floor over which John may choose
to walk must be prepared to Withstand
strain of 975 pounds. Nevertheless,
he eats and sleeps regularly, and conse-
quently is healthy. His ambition is to
weigh 1000 pounds, which would shatter
the records of both historical and myth
illogical heavy weights. He thinks he
will do it soon, unless his anxiety to do
so retards his growth.
cit has been the law with people of
abnormal weight and size," said Mr..
Craig during his recent exhibition here,
'to be short lived and subject to violent
attacks of illness. l am the only one
who has enjoyed throughout life perfect
health"
Craig has accumulated several fort
unes, and lost two or three in an attempt
to run a circus. He yet possesses bank
account well proportioned to his own
size. Besides being fat man he is
Knight of Pythias, Odd Fellow and
United Workman. Those that know
him best say that he is also regular
bureau of charity.
He was born in Iowa City, Ia, and is
thirty-ive years old. At birth he
weighed eleven pounds. At eleven
months he weighed seventy-seven
pounds, and at the age of two years he
weighed 2O6 pounds. He was the big
gest baby in the world for his age, and
captured the 81 900 cash prize offered by
Barnum in 1858. For the next two years
he travelled in Europe. When he re-
turned he weighed 300 pounds, and a
year later he weighed 405 pounds. When
twenty-five years old he weighed 625
pounds.
There is Mrs. Craig and Mr.. Craig,
Jr. Mrs. Craig is blonde, twenty-four
years of age, and weighs III pounds.
They met for the first time in st. Jo-
seph in 1884, when Craig was on exhi-
bition there. 1t was case of love at
first sight for both, and in less than
week after the meeting matrimonial
negotiations had ended successfully.
They were married in Fort Scott, Kan,
two weeks later.
Craigs father weighed 1T pounds, his
mother 125 pounds. City Star.

ADJUSTMENTS.
The Boston Quintette Club Tonight.
Hermann Thursday.

Among the musical organizations of the
country, the Mendelssohn Quintette
club OF Boston, which will play tonight
at the Los Angeles theater, stands pre-
eminent. Its record is remarkable. For
forty-one years it has been prominently
before the public, under the direction of
its organizer, Mr.. Thomas Ryan.
Mr.. Ryan holds a place in the hearts
of the people such as has never been at
tanned by any musician, with the single
exception of Ole Bull. What visions of
musical delight are awakened by the
mere mention of his name! Gentle,
warm-hearted and sympathetic, his ap-
pearance before an audience immediate
ly places him en- rapport with each in
,dividual man and woman, and their
hearts are stirred with love and venera-
tion at sight OF the kindly face, silver
fringed in the service of the public.
The other members of the club are all
artists OF great ability, and this season
the performances are materially
strengthened by the addition of Miss
Marie Bernard, prima donna possess
ing a glorious voice and charming
method.
THE WEBER COMPANY.
The Weber Concert company, at the
Los Angeles theater, had corporal's
guard of an audience last night, which
was all it deserved. Master Harry
Truax, the boy soprano, tried to sing
Angels Ever Bright and Fair, but in
reaching after some high notes came
near dislocating his voice, and had to
retire. and failed to make another ap-
pearance. The Weber quartette sang
fairly well, but the only feature of the
evening was the violin playing OF Harry
Dimond, a long-legged youth, who mas
querades in Fauntleroy suit. The boy
has not very fine toned instrument,
and he pays little attention to details,
but he has surprising power OF ex-
preston, and evidently puts himself in
full sympathy with the music he plays.
His best effort was Schubert's serenade,
parts of which he rendered with mar
yelous effect.

MAKES LABOR TOOCHEAP
PROTEST AGAINST THE INFLUX
OF RUSSIAN JEWS.
These Pauper Immigrants Work for
such a Mere Pittance That Amer
leans Cannot Compete.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-There Is
every indication that a crisis is arising
in the matter of the present flood OF
Hebrew immigration from Russia. 1t
has been the uelief of the Treasury
Department, as well as of the new
bureau of immigration, that ere long
there would arise complications result
ing from this sudden influx of people
men and women-who are willing to
work at almost any price. The com
plant has come.
A formal protest has been received
at the treasury department from a
labor organization in Baltimore which
includes tailors who work for the
many ready made clothing houses in
that city. Their union belongs to the
Knights of Labor. In the protest sent
to the department it is stated that
large numbers of these Russian i'm
migrants remain in Baltimore, and
that they work at such very low rates
that American workmen cannot COM
pete with them. AS an instance, one
year ago the Baltimore workmen were
paid 81. rs dozen for finishing vests.
The steady increase of immigrants has
made labor SO cheap that now only
$1.t5 dozen is paid for the same
work, price, 1t is added, which makes
it impossible for Americans to accept.
1t is understood that there have also
been complaints from other organiza-
tions in baltimore, but this is the first
formal protest and the department
feels itself compelled to take some
notice of the matter.

GETTING RICHER EVERY YEAR.
The Increase of Wealth i'm the United
States Since 1880.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-The census
bureau t. day issued a bulletin on the
assessed valuation of real and person
al property of the several States and
Territories. The valuations are shown
for the years 1880 and 1890, with the
exception of Michigan, which is for
1886, and of Arkansas, Delaware, Iowa,
Mississippi, New Mexico, Washington,
and Wyoming, which are for 1889.
the bulletin shows that the assessed
value of all property has in creased
from SIG, 902, 993, $40 in 1880 to S24,-
249, $50, S04 in 1890, an increase during
the decade of 81 ,346, 596, 26l, an amount
equivalent to the true value of all
property as returned by the United
States census in 1850 (S7, 1875, TSO, 23s.)
Should it be found, upon the com
pletion of the inqui Y in relation to
the true value of all property in the
United States that tn, same relation
exists in 1890 between assessed valua-
ton and true valuation as existed in
1880, the absolute wealth of the United
States, according to the eleventh cen
sus NAV be estimated at S62, $40, 900, 900,
or nearly 81 ,00o per capita, as against
$5l4 per capita in 1863, $3.50 per capita
in 1870 and $50 per capita in $780,
The State of Illinois shows an APP
parent decrease of $50, 2O0,142 because
the state board of equalization de-
clares that in 1880 the assessed value
was so per cent and in J 800 only 25 per
cent of the true value.

WORK OF A DESPERATE.
He Nearly Kills a Woman and Two
Policemen mt Peoria.

PEORIA, ILL.,, Aug. 27.-A street fight
occurred here in which two policemen
and woman were terribly cut by an
Infatuated negro. The negro, Frank
Berry, is notorious character, who
has been driven out of the city several
times and is guilty of many crimes,
among them murder.
He ouarreled with negro woman
in low negro dive and tried to cut
her throat. She escaped and ran into
the office of Matthew Hennebrry, the
Wholesale liquor dealer. Berry fol-
lowed her in and threw her down. He
drew her head across his knee to cut
her throat when Mr.. Henneberry inter
fered. The negro chased him back in
to his private office and again seized
the woman and drove q knife into her
breast Just then officers Sloan and
Campbell entered. Sloan tried to shoot
the desperate, but the latter cut the
officers face open in shocking way.
Campbell was cut from the base of the
ear to the forehead.
The negro got out and ran two
blocks, waving his bloody knife and
threatening the lives of all whom he
met. Officer Frank Stever intercepted
him and knocked him down. and be-
fore he could rise the patrol Wagon
was driven onto him. The only seri
GUS wound the negro received was q
cut over the eye, where one of the
patrol horses stepped on him. All OF
his victims are in u serious con
dition. An excited and angry Grove
/ is still collected about the station
awaiting the outcome of the mems in

VITRIOL VICTIMS SUICIDE.
A Girl at VIII Grove. N. W, Kills Her.
self Because She was DIsfieured.

BUFFALO, n. Y, Aug. 26.-Miss Fenis
Boyer committed sue de at Mill Grove
some time during Friday or Saturday
night by hanging. Her story is u
peculiarly sad one. One night about n
year ago her family was startled by
loud shrieks from her room, and when
they rushed in they found her with
ing in agony. While she slept some
one had entered the room and thrown
vitriol in her face. The intention was
evidently to destroy her sight. Her face
was horribly biistered by the fluid and
she was Scared for life. This proved
upon her mind, and when people
turned and looked at her disfigured
face it tortured her One day she
scraped the quicksilver off the back
of mirror and swallowed it, but
prompt medical aid saved her life.
On Friday Miss Boyer seemed to be
in an unusually bright humor, but
early Saturday morning her body was
found hanging to limb of cherry
tree. The suicide had been deliberately
planned. In her room her clothing was
found arranged and laid out for burial.
Hers is the third violent death in the
Boyer family. Several years ago John
Boyer, the eldest, shot himself dead
Three years ago the youngest son was
shot and killed by a woman in Brad
ford, Pa.
