A peep inside photographer den
shows that his art is fine art in the
truest sense of the word. Much of it is
too fine to be seen by the casual OBJ
server. In lnishingup people are usual
ly made much finer than they really
are. Very carefully the artist goes
over the negative and takes out the
imperfections and roughncss of feature
which the truthful glass has laid
down. According to the Lewiston
Journal this was recently done up in
central Maine, when lady who had
lived over one hundred years was pho
tographcd. She was very much
wrinlilcd, of course, and the artist
thought to improve the picture by talk
ing the crcases out of the negative.
But the old woman protested strongly
against the change. She hadn't Lived
one hundred years for nothing" she
sensibly said, and she wanted to be rep
resented Just as she was" SO the
wrinkles were all put back to please
her. She was like the great Cromwell,
who made the painter put on the por-
trait the wart he would have omitted

LEGISLATURE.
The Pinal County Pinal
Middle Bill Passes
After Another Obstinate
Fight in the House.
Conference Committee Agrees
on Fee and Salary Bill.
The Sunday Closing Bill at the Last
Moment Is Laid Quietly but
Effectually Away.

That maxillary exercise vulgarly
described as nasticating the fragment
OF textile fabric, was freely injected into
the proceedings OF the house yesterday.
Nothing was accomplished without a
great deal OF oratory and dissension.
The bill to remove. the Pinal county
muddle, OF which mention has been
fully made, was passed with the chances
apparently against it. Delegations
from P.nal were on hand for and against
the measure, and a violent discussion
between them took place on the floor Of
the house during the noon recess. IL
was accompanied by yesticuiations
which reminded one OF the debates
which sometimes occur before the New
Orleans Olympic club, notably the al.
fairs between Messrs. sullivan and Cor
hett and between Mr.. James Hall and
his couniryman, Robert Fitzsimmons,
Esq.
When the house reconvened the bill
wac discussed no less earnestly but
much more quietly. The talking was
done chiefly by representatives OF the
parties interested and by the members
OF the house who were interested, OF
ought to have been only on principle.
mir. Reilly, who had fought the bill 30
vigorous the day before, continued
his attack. Replying 10 charge made
by friends OF the bill that its opponents
had formed a lobby, Mr.. Reilly SAID
that the only lobby he had heard Of was
made up of men who wanted the bill
to pass. He had himself been ap.
preached by them and he went on some
Sbai unnt cessarly, to say that without
exception they were men without char
actrr, some oil them deiaulters and all
OF them dangerous when trusted with
public funds. As he made this declara.
ton he turned toward several gentle
men back OF the floor who had made no
ronct mel I of their desire Tor the pas.
sage of the bill. No reply was made to
this wholesale assault on personal char
acltr and impeachment OF motive. 1t
was shown though TO The ~ isiatiOn OF
the huuse that this very matter had
been the chief issue of the campaign
in Pinal last iall and that not only the
Representatives In the Legislature but
the mpu bprs of the board OF super.
visors had been overwhelmingly elected
on that issue. The house therefore de.
teimiued that if the passage OF the bill
was what Pinal wanted it should
have il.
The fee and salary bill, that looked
the dsy before as If 1t had been fatally
smended, was treated by conference
committee aud restored to strengt h and
will become full grown law.
