"Af1d have you succeeded in this?
Look at these specimens"
Here Mr.. Ives brought down his
with an eye-piece, somewhat resembling
camera. After turning it toward the
light, he slipped in front of it what
appeared to be an ordinary photo
graphic negative with three pictures on
it arranged in trefoil. This, however,
he asserted, was not negative, but a
simple position taken on glass instead
of paper. The images were not cOlOred,
but merely differed from one another in
regard to the arrangement Of light
and shade. On putting ones eye to
the eyepiece there appeared in full
relief an ABSOLUTELY perfect representa-
ton of a dish of fruit; glossy red ap-
pies, notified yellow bananas and a lus-
icious bunch Of green grapes covered
with tempting bloom that made ones
mouth water more than all the efforts
of Dutch genre painters could ever do
Several similar objects followed; then
came photographs of colored pictures,
of oil paintings, Of Swiss scenery in all

THI1NEY WANTS TO BEAT THIS MAN.
One Democrat that the Ex-secrotnry or the

When the Hon. William Collins Whitney
called at Democratic State Headquarters on
Friday, and predicted a sweeping victory for
the Democratic State ticket he forgot to say
that there was one Democratic candidate for
office this year who. he earnestly hoped, would
be defeated. He would not give a cent to
further the candidacy OF this man. and neither
would he have nything to do with oratory. red
fire. and brass bands. or with any other steps
calculated to elevate this Democratic cnndi-
date to office. This candidate had said per-
s!stently and continually that since the close
OF the Presidential battle last year he desired
the calm OF everyday lie and had no thought
OF political elevation and the troubles incident
to 1t. The candidate Objectionable to Mr..
