Photography Cures Drinking.

Photogl Apply, which was at first;
employed merely for the purpose
Of making portraits, has greatly
broadened its field of usefulness.
1t is now used as an adjacent to
many of the arts and sciences. In
engraving it is indispensable. In
astronomy it has been of enormous
assistance. In surgery it has filed
want long felt. Its very latest
use is 10 the line of temperance.

may be a more successful agent in
the suppression of the liquor habit.
than the most eloquent prohibition
orator that ever drew breath, says
the New York World. This i'm,
portant discovery of the new appli,
cation ofphotogfaphy came about
as follows.
A woman in Salemville, Pa, who
had suffered great distress for years
on account of her husbands con,
vivlal habits, determined at last that
he should know how he looked
when he was drunk. She felt that
this would be disagreeabIe revela-
ton, for, like most men who drink
to excess, he never appeared to-
think that he looked any worse
than other men.
So once when he came home uns
der the influence Of more liquor than
was absolutely necessary, and fell
into maudlin slumber, she sent
for a photographer and ordered
him to take picture Of her hus-
band as besat in his chair. This tie
| photographer did faithfully, and
the picture was a great success, bs,
ing an excellent likeness.
Next morning the husband found
| the photograph lying beside Lis
| plate at the breakfast table. There.
was 40 need Of explanation, for III

and hard and then placed it in his
breast pocket.
Since then he has not taken al

BoBBY's COMPOSITION ON PARENTS.

Parents are things which boys nave to look
after them. Most girls also have parents.
Parents consist Of pas and mas. Pas talk a
great deal about what they are going to do,
but mostly its mas that make you mind,
quotes Harper's Round Table.
Sometimes it is different, though. Once
there was a boy came home from college on
vacation. His parents lived on farm.
There was work to be done on the farm.
Work on farm always has to be done early
in the morning. This boy didn't get up.
His Sister goes to the stairway and calls;
"Willie, IT'S beautiful morning. Rise and
listen to the lark" The boy didn't say any
thing Then his ma called: civilian, it is
time to get up. Your breakfast is growing
cold" The boy kept right on not saying
anything. Then his pa puts his head in the
stairway, and says he: "Bil!" Coming,
sir!" says tine boy.
l know boy that hasn't got any parents.
He goes in swimming whenever he pleases.
But | am going to stick to my parents.
However, don't tell them so, cause they
might get it into their heads that couldn't
get along without them.
Says this boy to me: parents are a nui-
sanee; they aren't what II eyre cracked up
to be-" Says I to him: 'Just the same, |
find 'em handy to have. Parents have their
failings. of course, like all Of us, but, on the
whole, I approve Of 'em."
Once man says TO me, "Bobby, do you
love your parents" "Well," says l, 81 am
not a-quarreling with 'em'"
Once boy at boarding school went to
calling his pa the governor and got his allow
ance cut down one-half. HIS pa said he
ought TO have waited till he was going to
college.
Much more might be written about parents,
showing their habits and SO forth, but | will
leave the :asEsto ADLER pens.

THE LITTLE COMFORIEhs

While in the dark or light
Ihear footstep pattering to the gate
That closes on the night.
But for those little feet
Erch pathway shall be sweet
The sad storms trimmed with rainbows where
the paths of angels meet!
shall not rail at fortune or at fate
While under Loves own skies
My little queen walks where the roses wait
And wins me with her eyes.
For in those eyes seem
To re ad the stars that stream
On bright, celestial meadows where the angels
sing and dream
shall not rail at fortune or at fate
While still feel the beat
OF her glad heart, and in life's twilight late
Her rosy lips and sweet!
Lovely as still thou art,
Rest on my heart, sweetheart!
Till Gods white angel smiling kiss lips and
lives apart!

FOUR YEARS CAMPAIGN.


CHICAGO, Illinois, November 20
In response to special call Issued BY
President d. ID. Woodmansee, Of Ohio,
the members of the executive commit.
tee OF the republican national league
elected at the Milwaukee convention,
in August, are rounding up at the
Auditorium hotel. this morning.
The purpose Of the meeting is to
close up q number Of matters growing
out Of the recent campaign and to de-
eide upon the location of headquarters
for the coming season. In view of the
fact that Chairman Hanna, OF the
national committee, has decided to
maintain permanent headquarters at
the national capital, President Wood
mansee and the eastern members are
in favor of following suit, and 1t is
possible that they will be able to carry
their point Secretary Bowling and
the western members, however, insist
that the campaign demonstrated that
the national site for the headquarters
is in Chicago, and that they should be
allowed to remain here. The execu-
tive committee will also consider some
financial matters and decide upon the
part to be taken by the league in the
ceremonies at Washing
ton, on the 4th Of NJ arch next. A com
mittee of arrangements will also be ap-
pointed to take charge of the prelimi-
naries for the next national convention,
which will be held at Detroit, In July
of 1897.

NOT A UNION MAN.
But the Prince Of Wales Nevertheless Has
Trade.

LONDON, England, November 49,
1t is announced that the Prince OF
Wales will exhibit pair of boots made
by himself, at the national exposition
to be held ID this city next summer, as
one of the features of the commemo-
ration of the Queens jubilee. 70 pre-.
vent this announcement being received
with incredulity, the explanation Is
made that the Queen required her sons,
while in their teens, to thoroughly
learn trade. The Prince of Wales
chose boot-making, at which he be-
came an expert, and it is said that his
skill in the craft has never forsaken
him. The Duke of Edinburgh, who
manifested an inclination for carpen.
tering, is quite handy in h,s use of the
mallet, square and saw. The Duke of
Counaught, it is also said, has thor
ough knowledge OF all branches enter
ing into the manufacture of powder
and shot.
The national exhibition referred to
will be held at Earl's court and will be
christened the Victorian era exhibit
ton. 1t is intended to reproduce on .
grand scale the leading features and
scenes In the reign Of the queen, show
ing the progress which has been made
during the last sixty years in commerce
and industry, science, music and the
drama, sports and psstimes. An i'm
portant section will be devoted to
women's work. The executive council
makes the special announcement that,
as it is intended that the exhibition
shall be purely British, no industrial
exhibits will be accepted which ema-
nate from outside the united king

Was Murdered and Robbed
in New York City.

Years Campaign.
sAToLLl is INTERVIEWED

NEW YORK, N. Y, November 20.-
Captain O'Brien's detectives have ar
rested three men, supposed to be con-
cerned in the death of Hon. Frank p.
Arbuckle, of Denver, found dying on
Eighth avenue, early yesterday. The
prisoners are George Stevens, reputed
gambler, Joseph Davidson and Freder-
ick Melger. Charles Butler, colored
night watchman, arrested late last
night on the belief that he knew some
thing Of the death and supposed rob.
berry of Mr.. Arbuckle, was discharged
by Magistrate Brann, this morning
Thorough investigation satisfied the
police that Butler had nothing to do
with the case.
NEW YORK, N Y, November 20 -
The developments 10 the Arbuckle case
lead the police to believe that he was
victim Of diabolical plot to rob
him. IL is now the conviction of the
authorities that Arbuckle was lured up
town, drugged and robbed, then left
to die on the sidewalk IN an unfre-
quented region where he was found.
Frederick Melger, Joseph Davidson
and George w. Stevens who have been
arrested on the suspicion that they
were concerned In the robbery and
possible murder of Arbuckle, were
arraigned at Harlem court this morn
ing and at the request of the detectives
remanded, in order to give further tlme
for investigation. Davidson, according
to the police, met Arbuckle at a saloon
after having made an arrangement
with Melger and Stevens to entice
Arbuckle to some unirequented place
and rob him. Davidson said he met
Arbuckle according to appointment
and introduced him to Melger, Stevens
and man named Stewart, who is yet
at large.
NEW YORK, N. Y !, November 90
1t is now the belief of the police that
Arbuckle was first drugged, then placed
in cab somewhere down town, taken
to Bradburst avenue and 1924 street,
robbed, and then carried to the side
walk on Eighth avenue and left to die
The best sleuths on the police force
are now engaged on the case, and sur.
prising developments may be made
public at any moment.
