Because of the wealth-producing
quality of the goose, he did not
kill and roast her, but very mag

scraps from his table in order that
she might lay more eggs of gold.
One day, however, he conceived
the foolish idea that if he killed
the goose and opened her, he would
become immensely wealthy at one
stroke, and without waiting for her
to lay one egg at time. He car

had permitted themselves to be

AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHERS.
The Camera Club and the Photographers
License.
Members Want an Ordinance That
Will Not Work Hardship on
Amateurs.

The Sacramento Camera Club met
last night, President Shaw in the chair.
to consider the ordinance concerning a
license caX on photographers and photo
graphic peddlerS. Mr.. Baldwin of the
business photographers appeared and
explained why the ordinance had been
asked for Foreign solicitors, paying
no taxes, come in and are taking out of
the community thousands of dollars
worth of work that ought to go to the
local photographers, who maintain
business, pay taxes and rent and con-
tribute to the support of the city. Tin
Grants do business in large amounts
who pay no taxes and destroy the busi-
ness of resident photographers. Hence
it was thought best to ask for license
or all photographers that the evil might
be corrected.
Mr.. Baldwin was asked what would be
the effect of such a tax on small photo
graphic establishments. He replied he
| believed they could pay it, but the club
appeared to disagree with him on that
/ head He disclaimed for the photo
| graphers any idea of a corner or mo-
nopoly of the business, or any intention
! to assail amateurs or the club, or its
/ mem bership. He was asked why an
ordinance could not be framed and be
| legal that would recognize the resident
| photographers at one rat e and non
resident and nom -taxpaying competitors
at a much higher rate. He replied that
! il would be class legislation, and on this
| point the club differed with him and
| thought 1T possible to protect an in
dustry without killing it,
! After full discussion and expression of
| all friendliness for resident photo
| graphers, great and small, the club
| passed a series of resolutions, to be sent
| to the Mayor and Trustees to-day, ex-
| pressing the thought that the club does
rot deem the ordinance inimica1 to the
| club or its members; that the club mem
| bers are prohibited from doing photo
graphy as a business; that profession
ais are barred from membership; that
| the club is in accord with any wise
| measure to protect resident business
| photographers; that it believes the
| itinerant photographers and foreign
solicitors to be injurious to home photo
graphic business.
| But it was resolved that no ordinance
| ought to become law that will put a
| license tax on home artists, in portrait
ure or other work, who in any way use
| Photographic process in their art; that
| TO exact a license tax of such would be
unjust and cruel 1t was also resolved
| that the Camera Club would regret en-
| forcement of any regulation that would
amount to prohibition of or onerous tax
upon smaller Photographic business:
that it is the belief of the club that an
ordinance can be framed that will pro-
tect all photogra piers equally without
excessive taxation against ninerant,
foreign and non-taxpaying solicitors,
and without affectin amateurs or
artists.

Republican Senators Favor an Early

WASHINGTON, April 23.-The Re-

adjournment, and the earlier after the
appropriation bills are out of the way
the better it will please them.
This sentiment was developed this
morning a. the caucus held for the pur-
pose of determining the order of busi-
ness. After a short discussion Sher-
man. Chairman of the caucus, was au-
thori@ed to appoint Committee on
Order of Business, which will decide
upon what matters outside of appro-
priations shall be brought up for con-
sideration. An adjournment should be
had it was thought, by May 18th. and
the committee which Sherman will ap-
point will bear this date in mind when
ii comes to making up the order of

1t is hardly believed that the adjourn
ment can be had at so early a day, but

on which a final adjournment can be

Mr.. Watson, when they called upon
General w. H H. Hart representing
Mrs. Florence BlytheHinckley, and
made a demand that he should file for
probate a purported copy OF Will OF
Thomas H Blythe, said copy being in
the possession of Mrs Carr. a client of
the lawyers already mentioned.
Mrs. Carr claimed $1,000 which, ac-
cording to the terms of the copy Of the
will, was a legacy from Blythe to her
husband.
General Hart refused to treat with the
lawyers or their client, and they went
away, after having notified General
Hart that they would begin proceedings
against him tomorrow.
General Hart denies that any will of
the deceased millionaire has ever been
