uP rs DATE PHOTOGRAPHS.
They Arc Costly. but Their Charm May
&E5 Sgs' IN 6Si$ sS be Perennial. IA SH &&

Being photographed nowadays is an
elaborate process " heretofore when o
woman wanted her photograph taken"she
went to the studio and arranged about tho
size Of the picture and the number she
wanted. She gave reassurlng touch to
her hair, sat down before the camera,
4 turned her head little to tho right or to
the left, as tho artist desired, and clamped
], on either temple, gazcd 1ixedly, insipldly
or otherwise, at a spot on tho wall. Now
the subjects possibilities" are studied in
detail. Nothing is left to accident. The
fashionable woman carries her various
powns to the studio with her and tries
them on, each in turn, that the artist may
decide which suits her best She pays $50
for the photos raphs..
Her hair is arranged by skillful hands
In different ways, that u style of coiffure
may be chosen which will be appropriate,
not only to The contour Of her face and
head, but to tho environments of the pic
ture. The subjects hands and arms arc
criticised, likewise her throat and neck, to
see whether q severe high costume or an
evening gown shall be used. The topics OF
background and accessories arc discussed.
All Of these tinted carbon photographs
are taken full length. Maybe the subject
will pose as dame of the first empire,
with skinny satin gown, elaborate coif-
fure, jeweled girdle, fan and vinaigrette
Perhaps she stands, half turned about,
with her back to the spectator and her
pure profile deftly brought out on dark
velvet curtain. All women would not look
charming in such position. The artist
knows whom to choose, and the subject
will wonder at her own beauty when she
sees the picture
A willful, coquettish girl is posed as a
modern Priscilla. The quaint spinning
wheel and high backed chair, tho small
paned window at the back Of the colonial
room, form charming contrast with her
rich brocade gown and beaming face. The
scant, puffed sleeves set off tho rounded
arms, the curve Of tho wrist, the hand that
grasps the wheel is like a rare old paint
ing, and tho undulating outlines Of the
figure are suggested, not revealed, by the
prim folds of the fowered silk frock.
These latter day photographs are like
paintings and are likely never to grow old
fashioned. They have the charm that dis
tinguishes the portrait painters of tho old
English school-a charm that custom will
not stale. They will not become out of
date and grotesque, like the photographs
of 20 years ago, found in family albums.
In those days woman was hired to put
the lights in tho eyes, color the cheeks and
paint the ribbon bows and artificial flowers
Of the ladies and the gay neckties and
buttonhole bouquets Of the gentlemen. The
new photographs, be it a hundred years
hence always will be things Of beauty, no
matter what evolutions, contractions or
diminutions may befall womans Dress

The steamer vigilant took large ex-
cursion to Warsaw yesterday. The oc-
casion was the annual picnic of the men,
bers of the Christian church and their
friends. The day was spent very enjoy
ably, and the party was all safely landed
at the wharf at 9 o'clock last night
A white man named Brown was stabbed
in the arm at the exchange dock yester-
day afternoon by a white painter named
Williams. The stab was merely a flesh
wound. The men engaged in a dispute
over some trivial matter. Brown had his
wound dressed by DIR. Welch. He made
complaint against Williams al the police
barracks, but the latter has not been ar
rested as yet.
The st. Patricl5's church picnic at Mont

o'clock at night. The afternoon trains went
out crowded. The day was a delightful and,
except the shower last night, the weather
was all that could be asked.
Commencing next Sunday. the Florida
Central and Peninsular railroad will put
on a through sleeping car to Asheville
for the benefit of the summer travel. The
train carrying this sleeper will leave Sa-
vannah at 1913 o'clock p. m, arriving at
Asheville at 10 o'clock the next morning.
This will afford passengers a daylight
ride through the prettiest part of the
country. There is a heavy travel to Ashe-
vile and the other resorts In that sec
ton and the Florida, Central and PENN
sular is carrying a good share of the
business.
Recorder Wilson held no police court
Yesterday morning, not a single arrest
having been made in twenty-four hours by
the police This is the second time within
three months that this has occurred. 1t
need not be inferred by this that Savan-
nah is improving morally, or that the
police are not doing their duty. Sayan-
nah's lawbreakers seem to run in shoals.
Some nights the station house is so over
crowded that there is hardly room enough
left to put another prisoner, and again
the place will be almost empty. Yester-
day was another light day with the police,
but it is possible that tonight will see the

Grand United order of the Knights Of

dict was returned yesterday in favor of
the defendant and his faction, allowing
them to retain possession of the para
phernalia of the order.
The status OF the case was that con-
vention was held in Augusta last June at
which no election was held, on account of
the fact that Supreme Grand Master
Dorsey left. The supreme grand council
then had nine days in which to have a
meeting and elect officers. Before that
nine days had fully expired Dorsey ap-
pointed Ebert Anderson supreme grand
master. with another set of officers
Johnson and his faction then held a con-
Vention and an election was held. This
however. was an illegal proceeding under
the laws of the order, as was also Dorsey's
appointments, as the appoin tments should
have been made by the House of Pope.
This carries the whole matter back to
the time when Dorsey was supreme grand
master OF the order Both sides have been
seeking to get the paraphernalia, bows and
arrows, regalia, etc, and the jury decided
that it belonged to the Dorsey Anderson
faction. In order TO establish itself on a
perfectly legal basis this faction will prob
ably get together now and hold another
election. The defendants were represented
by Messrs, O'Connor and O'Byrne and the
plaintiffs by Mr.. w. r. Leaken.

QUEER PLACE FOR A BABY.
A Nurse, baby and Carriage on =
Railroad Track.

The police had their attention called TO
a queer case last night. As the conductor
Of the Isle Of Hope car on the City and
Suburban railway was on his way from
Sandy TO Isle OF Hope at o'clock h
came across a colored woman rolling a
baby carriage on the track.
This struck him as being rather unusual
and when he investigated he found THAI
the woman was either drunk OF assuming

give any satisfactory account Of the child
The conductor took charge % the woman
and the child, carried them 10 Isle Of
Hope and left them In charge Of the store
keeper there. He 4hcn telephoned CHEZ
McDermott and related the circumstance
OF the case TO him. Chief McDermotJ
sent out officer Scully 70 investigate the
case and take charge Of the woman ana
child.
The conductor took the child to be
white. The woman stated 10 officer Soul
ly that the baby was the child Of William
and Rose Tutty, and that its mother livec
in southviue. She could not give any
satisfactory account OF what she was do

city with the baby. The baby appeared

RUBBER MADE FROM OIL.


The Winthrop Company is a chartered
institution. with a minimum capital OF
$500. with the privilege Of increasing
It TO siO90l. The company occupies a
tract Of some nifty acres Of land adjoln-
ing Greenwich park. The original plant
was burned about a year ago, and a new
plant and new buildings have been erect
ed.
Tho process by which the company
manufactures cotton seed oil into rubber
is a secret one. the invention Of Mr.. John
H. Carter. A number Of Boston capital
lists are interested In this enterprise.
which has strong financial backing; and
although but very little information can
be gathered, the operations seem to be
quite successful They are bound to be
profitable.
The rubber trust has also a process by
which cotton seed oil is converted into
rubber very extensively. and many man
ufactures Of rubber goods only contain
Is or 20 per cent OF actual rubber. The
balance Is oxidized cotton seed oil
1t has been known for a great many
years that linseed oil can be converted
In several ways into a mass which is
Viscid and very elastic, and entirely free
from grease Of any description. This prod
uct IS generally Known as vegetable rubber
as IL vulcanizes with sulphur and forms
hard. but somewhat elastic mass. Many
surgical instruments are made from this
linseed oil rubber and are strongly vul-
canized. The most interesting and sig
nificant fact Is, the great resemblance
existing between cotton seed oil and In
seed oil. The latter is recognized as the
most valuable of all paint or varnish
oils, and is quite costly. A gallon of lin
seed oil is worth 80 or So cents, while cot
ton seed oil sells from 20 to % cents per
gallon. The greatest value of linseed oil
is its capacity to become oxidized. If
slightly so 1t forms the boiled linseed
oil of commerce. If it is still more oxi-
died 1t is then a varpish. If the oxidi
cation is complete it is then a vegetable
rubber.
That cotton seed oil Is treated, no mat
and that a vegetable rubber is produced
is the very best proof that cotton seed
oil can be oxidized to any desired degree,
and is therefore quite as valuable as lin
seed oil for a paint oil.
Several eminent German chemists have
expressed the opinion that cotton seed
oil resembles linseed oil to such a degree
that there is no reason whatever, why it
could not be employed as a paint oil, as
a varnish oil or as a vegetable rubber, in
the Same way that linseed oil is used.
The Winthrop Company employs eight
to ten hands at its works and runs day
and night. The pay roll is now from $1,000
to $1,000 a year and will probably be
doubled by next year.

Four More of Them Under Patience
simmons Ban.
Four more of the addison square boys
will appear before the recorder this morn
ing Patience Simmons, colored, entered
charges yesterday against Rex White,
Steele White, Langdon Weber and Berrien
Glover for assaulting her in the square
on the afternoon of June T.
The Madison square boys are unluclzy.
If they had thought they had done any
thing wrong they could easily have es-
caped arrest. Lieut.. Reilly happened to
pass through the square last Friday af-
ternoon Just after the row, when one of
the boys came up TO him and began to
explain how it occurred. The woman
came IN at that time and demanded the
boys arrest. Two more of the boys came
up to protest against this, when the wo-
man demanded their arrest, saying
that they were in the party that assaulted
her. although the boys protested that they
had nothing to do with the affair.
In the hearing before Recorder Wilson
Tuesday the boys mentioned the names
of several others of their companions who
were witnesses of what took place. The
woman took advantage of this TO enter
charges against the boys whose names
were mentioned. The truth of the matter
is believed to be that only one or two OF
the boys took an active part in the affair
that the others were merely onlookers
Patience evidently has it in for the Mad
ison square boys.
