with them their own cooking utensils and
prepared the tempting morsels in full view
of the other guests, showing that there Was
no attempt at deception, and that nothing
but real steaks Were used. Servants were
dispensed with for fear some one would
keep tally on the number of steaks ca ten,
but just the same leather medal was
presented to ex-Speaker Reed for showing
the greatest capacity in this line. In addi-

A LIQUOR QUESTION.
The Constitution Used Authority
for a Contention.

for n Contention.
A peculiar point was recently raised by
West Steever, an attorney for certain Ii
quor men, in which he claimed that the
Constitution had been violated. His claim
ants asked for a return of 80 per cent of
the amount paid by each of them for whole
sale liquor licenses which were terminated
October 81, 1893. The sum claimed rep
resents the difference between the amounts
paid by them for wholesale licenses under
the old law and the amount paid by them
for such licenses under the law OF March
3, 1898. 1t was claimed on the part OF the
claimants that by the decision of the Court
of Appeals in the District against BuSch
these applicants are exempted from paying
license fees at greater rate than tnal
prescribed by the legislative assembly for
wholesale licenses expiring on OCTOBER d!
last, and further that to make them pay at
higher rate of license, fixed by the new
law, is TO impose tax indirectly Whlcn
Congress could not impose directly without
violating the Constitution of the United
States
The attorney gave an adverse opinion on
the matter, but upon motion of the claim
ants it was re-referred to him for a sup
Elemental report.
Attorney Thomas reiterates his opinion
and in addition thereto says:
They were all new applicants for il:
censes under the new system. They are
not among those who surrendered their
licenses under duress of the orders OF the
Commissioners after the decision In the
Police Court in the case District against
new law, and paid ratably the difference
between the old license fee of $25 and one
of $3.50 1t results that they are not en-
titled to refund, and SO advise you"

Photo-Mechani EnRravinx.

In his last lecture at the National Mu-
scum, MIR. koehler began the description
of the photo-mechanica1 processes of en-
craving. These methods" he said. "were
the consequence of the commercial spirit
of the nineteenth century. Photography
was introduced as an agent because 1t was
more accurate in its delineations than even
the most skillful artists, and in many
scientific researches it is almost indis-
pensable. Nature moves by unvarying
laws, and must produce faithful copy of
the original. Photography alone, however,
is slow and costly, and has other draw
backs, so IL is used only to produce a COPY
from which others may be printed. This
method OF engraving is not the outgrowth
or the wonderful development of the art of
photographing, but the latter is the out
growth of the former. One great drawba ok
in photography is that, as yet we are un-
able to reproduce different colors satisfac-
torily, and it even changes the general eff
feet of the color of the original in some
cases. although this is now. in great
measure. overcome by the ortho-chronlatic
process. Although this method is intended
to do away with the necessity for skillful
artists and engravers, it is still necessary
to use a great amount of skill in each of
the various stages that are gone through
with We may still look for great develop
ment in this art, which is of compare lively
recent origin. By this method any of the
three kinds of engraving, relief, intaglio and
photographic, may be produced
The lecturer gave short description of
the chemical changes that occur in pho
Biography, with practical illustrations of
some of the steps. and exhibited some of
the more ordinary chemicals used He also
explained the difference between a negative
and positive, after which he spoke of the
different properties of albumen and gela-
tine, as used in photography.
Wherever practicable, views were shown
illustrating the various features that made
up the text of the lecture.
This subject will be continued next Tues
day evening.

Saturday between the Commissioners and

excessive and that it only owed ST. 900,
which. together with $500 already paid,
represented the actual amount the COM
pany owed the District for paving, and
that the difference between that and the
amount claimed by the District is for paw
