IT Is the courteous custom OF news.
papers to give credit to photographers
when they furnish pictures Of celeb.
rifles for publication. When, how.
ever, the celebrities themselves fur.
nish the photographs this Is not nee.
essary; but an ingenious person In the
photo business, who has worked
mostly for actors and actresses, has
invented q little trick for the purpose
Of catching newspapers In trap. 1t
deserves to be exposed. He copy.
rights the photographs and then puts
the copyright mark on them In such
way a. to escape casual notice; In.
deed, only to be found by close scru.
tiny. As actors and actresses are,
for pain and perfectly legitimate
business reasons, generally glad to
have their portraits printed, this
smart fellow has caught q few papers
mapping and made them pay heavily
for the inadvertence. So far he
stands pretty we'll alone. 1t has,
therefore. been adopted as safe rule
10 most Offices not to use any photo.
graph bearing his name. This fact
will not help his business among the
class OF artists he tries to "work."

1.-THE Illinois Eastern Hospital for
the Insane" at Kankakee, ILL.,, would
respectfully ask that all who read
this and who have copies Of illus.
trated magazines for which they have
no use will donate the same to the
institution and send them boxed by
freight, the charges on which the In.
stitution will pay.
Explanatory Of this, will say that
this institution contains over two
thousand patients who are either In
whole or In part deprived OF their
liberty and who must In some manner
be entertained and amused. While the
legislature has provided literally fol
the food and medical care Of these
patients, and the friends and the
counties provide for their clothing,
there has been little or no provision
made for books, periodicals, and
other amusements A large number
OF these patients are interested In
reading and looking at pictures.
Donations OF money to be expended
for amusements, pictures, flowers,
music, etc., will be thankfully re-
ceived and j,ldiciously used.

The canal and tunnel, just fin.
ished, which will drain the City OF
Mexico, was projected fully 100 years
ago under the old Spanish viceroys
1t was made necessary from the fact
that the capital city lies In basin,
surrounded by hills on every side.
Work upon 1t has been prosecuted
atfully, as the government could
spare the money 1t has remained
for President Diaz to raise the amount
necessary to complete the enterprise,
and the SlO, 900, 900 which 1t will cost
will prove to have been we'll spent
The completion Of so great a public
improvement Is credltable to the
Mexicans. Our sister republic is nd.
vancing rapidly. and, with the ad.
vent OF railroads and the cOnsequ
influx of Americans and Europeans,
has taken place among the com.
mercial nations OF the world.

but the ship was silent. At Monkey
Point lay the British cruiser Mohawk.
but she. too, was silent. The English"
man did not act for lack Of instruc-

Popular BlOOmers.

The swell Centaur Bicycle club has
not yet made any great splurge in either
the social or cycling world, for the rea-
son that the majority Of the members
are out of the city and will be until
Sept. 1. The leading spirits in the
club are just now discussing various
plans for admitting women to member
ship. That women will be admitted
is certain, but just upon what basis
and with what privileges nobody can
tell as yet. The ladies who have signi-
fled their intention Of joining have also
announced that they will wear bloom
ers and just as chic costumes as the
women of France ever dared to wear.
This will doubtless result in the general
use of the very pretty and decidedly
comfortable bloomer costume among
women in this city, many of whom are
only waiting for some one to set the
pace.-Philadelphia Record.
