Amusing slips of the tongue abound

Interesting Sketch of His Career
and stories About Him.
The New York Times prints an inter
esting sketch of Napoleon sarony the
famous photographer, whose sudden death
in New York on Monday last was re-
ported in the Morning News dispatches
1t says:
Saronys life story is that of an artist,
with fame on two continents. His pic
lures are as well known in the shops of
Paris as they are in Broadway and in
the theaters Of the United States. He
ranked as peerless in his art because he
was a master in composition, without
rival in the arrangement OF subjects and
settings in such a way as to secure the
best results. 1t is said he never even
attempted to learn the chemical part of
the business that won for him money and
reputation, and that he devoted all mis-
energies to the work in front OF the cam
era.
Sarony's father was an Englisman,
whose home was near Birmingham Eng
land, whence he went to the war that
ended in Napoleons Waterloo. When the
lighting was over the elder Sarony took
his family to Quebec, and there became
a photographer. In that business he was
engaged, when, in 1921, Napoleon died
at St. Helena. A son was born to him
about that time. and to him was given
the name Napoleon, for, although Sarony
had been one of the conquerors of the
Little Corporal" his admiration for him
was great.
Napoleon Sarony came to New York
city about 1898 with the knowledge that
he had gained In his fathers establish
ment in Quebec and easily found work at
his trade as a photographer. In short
time he was engaged by Robertson & Co.
and made a reputation for his drawings
on stone. He founded the firm Of Sarony
& Major, at III Fulton street. which be.
came later Sarony, Major g. Knapp, and
is now the Knapp Autograph Company.
Business prospered. Sarony won fame as
a draug He branched into the the
atrlcal field. a pioneer In poster work
and hundreds Of people Of the stage, now
long dead and forgotten, were heralded
by Sarony's work on the dead walls OF
the country.
In 1916 sarony married Miss Major, the
daughter OF one of his partners. She
died leaving four children, three now liv-

Judge Ross, without hesitation, al

BALTIMORE, Oct. 5.-The Orioles
took their third straight game in the
Temple cup series from the Spiders this
afternoon by dint of brilliant playing,
both at the bat and in the field, together
with bit of good luck here and there.

result, and the Baltimore contingent
looks very glum when they talk about
the lack of interest shown in the con-
test. All hands leave for Cleveland to.
morrow, and the Orioles say there will
be but one game in the Forest City,
which they expect to win and thereby
settle the contest for the trophy.
The feature of the game was the bril-
liant out-field work of both teams, every
man greedily accepting all chances and
making the plays in fine style. The
only exception was a poor throw by
Burkett, which allowed Hoffer to score
in the third inning. Score:
Baltimore 6, hits 8, errors 2.
Cleveland 2, hits 10, errors2.
Batteries-Hoffer and Robinson; Cup
py and thinner.
Umpires-Emslie and Sheridan.
