THE Chicago platform is composed OF
false pretenses. They were framed for the
purpose of drawing the attention Of the
reader away from the dangerous and revo-

advocated, and no Democrat or Repubh-

esteem, no business man who desires to
prosper and has the prosperity Of the

top Of a hill overlooking their camp
when Howard came up and informed
them that young man had come into
the camp who wished to see the captain.
They descended the hill and made their
way to the place where the pillars Of
smoke marked the sight Of tho camp.
AS they neared the tents and huts a
young man Of graceful form and strong,
handsome face came out to meet them
He extended his hand to the captain
the other hand held his hat-and asked:

II am, " was the reply.

O slight deafness, made him appear
muchsolder There was livid scar rum
ming from his right brow to his chin.
1t had severed the eyeball, destroying
tho eye, and left an ineffaceable cash ON
the brown cheek.
Among the people in the caravan
there was a very general impression
that the scar and the lost eye were
rhargeable to the military services in
which this strange man had won his
rank Captain Brandon's reserve
amounted to positive taciturnlty, which
gave him the appearance Of coolness and
strength that attaches to most silent
men.
Being adverse to speaking about him
self, there were plenty Of imaginative
and voluble people to speak for him
According to these authorities, Captain
Brandon had lived time out Of mind ON
the western plains or in the snowy
mountains beyond What he did not
know about hunting and Indians was
not worth knowing, and there was
very general belief among them that he
could walk blindfolded from the Atlantic
to the Pacific without once making q

capitals such clubrooms are not so elegant
and so well equipped and the apparatus is
not so com plete as is that OF the California
Camera Club.
The Camera Club is composed of 162
active members and 80 associate members,
the latter embracing practical photog-
raphers who live outside the limit of
fifty miles from this City Some of the
associate members reside in the East and
in Europe. The lady relatives of the
active members are also admitted to the
privileges of associate members. The as
sociates are entitled to the use of the clubs
apparatus, library, darkroom, ETC., and
differ only from active members in not
having a vote at the clubs meetings
Active members pay an entrance fee of

sociates pay no initiation fee, and are

there are 211 subscribing members.
lecture and stereopticon exhibition is
gwen once week at the Metropolitan
Temple. 1t should be noted in this con-
nection that the idea of free illustrated
lectures at regular intervals which has
been adopted in many cities originated
with the California Camera Club. On Fri
day evening last the seyenty-third con-
secutive monthly entertainment of this
club took place Now the subscribing
members pay 81 50 per quarter and receive
each four tickets of admission to the IL
Illustrated lecture, but that is the extent of
their privileges.
At the clubs weekly meetings discus
slons OF methods are engaged in, and there
are frequent stereopticon exhibitions Be-
tween the amateur photographers associa-
tons OF this country a close relationship
is maintained. An interchange of slides
is one of the features of this friendly
union and by this means there is afforded
an endless variety of stereopticon views
The most recent exchange was with the
Portland (Me.) club, and thus the attrac-
tive scenes of the Pine Tree State fur
nished an evening of pleasure and amuse-
ment for the San Francisco amateurs,
while the Portland club was doubtless
finding not improbable pastlme in a
stereopticOn entertainment that pictured
to them some of the scenes for which the
Golden State is famous. To these weekly
lectures the club members invite their
friends.
The present officers of the California
Camera Club are: President, A. G. Nc
Farland; first vice-presidenU, I. E. Thayer;
second vice-president, w. B. Webster;
secretary, G. f. Cormack; treasurer, E. G.
Eisen; librarian, II. C. Owens: correspond
ing secretary, G. S. Close; directors-E. j.

yearly all of these comic views are in

graphic work. The Camera Club has
taken several outings in this particular
locality, and the view presented by Mr..
dochstadter is one of the happiest OF the
many happy efforts made to do justice to
the picturesque place. CLASSY stream
ana overhanging boughs and beautiful
foliage are not the only attractions of that
region. Lagunitas Creek, near Taylors-
vile, in Marin County, is one of the best
hshlng-streams in the country, and so
there IS plenty of fine sport thereabouts,
as well as wealth of scenery.
BLACK Point" will be recognized by
every one at all familiar with San Fran
cisco Bay. 1t is from photograph by w.
}. Street, who has obtained an exceedingly
good effect. The Golden Gate is visible in
the distance.
Drying Sails" on the ship Clan Mac
kenzie conveys fine idea of the appear
ance of big ship under those conditions.
The camera artist, H. E. Owens, succeeded
admirably in his selection of distance and
point OF view, and thus made creditable
contribution to the clubs collection.
The sketch of aqua Caliente," Sonoma
County, is from photograph by Miss M.
E. Faucompre. Aqua Caliente is a station

in the vicinity give the place its name.

of bridge over the creek, near the station,

photography in the last few years with
the aid of rapid plates and lenses. The

Among other notable pieces of work
of local amateurs should be mentioned
''Enoch Arden's First Signal" which is a
dramatic piece of work by Jesse Pound
stone. A member of the club posed for
the effect, and its original object was to
represent the actual predicament of q
certain young man who, while out duck
hunting, tarried too long on a reef and
was cut off from the mainland by the
rising tide.
A snapshot by H. B. Sullivan deserves
mention. The picture caused no end of
merriment among the friends of the sub
ject, and the subject himself is said to
have recovered from his first impulse to
annihilate the perpetrator of the joke and
to have fallen in love with this highly sue
cessful attempt at distortion" made with
a Waterbury lens on an extended figure.
On the whole the amateur artists of the
City have abundant reason to be proud of
their club and proud of their artistic
achievements, and San Francisco has rea-
son to be proud OF her amateur knights of
the magic lens. In very few things, out
side of climate and natural resources,
must New York and Boston and Baltimore
yield the palm to the City by the Golden
Gate, but this is one of them-our amateur
photographers have left the old cities of
the East completely in the shade.

Among the delightful rural scenes which
the Camera Clue regales itself with in the
course of its outings throughout the year
there are spots that only prove the pow
erty of pencil description, and from
which even the eye of the camera can take
only half an impression. Within a few
hours ride of this City are places of which
the gentle Druid, Thomson, might have
dreamed in his poetic soul; for this beau

scores of instances:
