FINE COMPLIMENT.
The Work of the Topeka Camera Club
is Commended,

The American Amateur Photographer
of New York, an authority in it's line,
pays the Topeka Camera club a hand
some compliment in referring as fol-
lows to the catalogue recently issued.
From this, which has been kindly
sent to US, we learn several things that
it would be well for societies and clubs
generally to know. The makeup of
the catalogue itself affords ample evil
dence of the good taste of all concerned.
1t is severely plain and beautifully
neat, and not disfigured, as too many
are, by advertisements inJerleaved or
otherwise.
Then, from the preface. We learn
Camera club have shown a degree Of
zeal and energy rarely equalled. Or
ganiZed in the home of enc of them to-
wards the end of 1894, it was able in the
following February to hold an exhibit
ton, which, in spite of a terrific snow
storm, was popular success, and by
the beginning of December in the same
year, it was occupying it's own club
rooms with the necessary cOnveniences.
"A month later, January, 1896, it held
its second exhibition, which. wonderful
to tell, was not only artistically, but
also financially successful.
And now this catalogue shows that
just two years and four months after
it's organization it has been able to
hold a third exhibition that would be
a credit to clubs of greater age and
higher pretenSiOns.'

M'KINLEY SHOCKS THE 400

Washington, April 13.-Lispenard
Stewart has had something horrfd hap

him the secretaryship of the legation

name betweenhis thumb and finger, and
despite the piteous plea of the 400,

This was a sad mistake, for which
they were alone responsible. 1t was in

Explains the Charge of Fraud Against
Mr.. Judge.

To the Editor of The State Journal.
LAS is stated in your paper that the
cause of the trouble in the TheosophicaI
society arose from a secretary whose
accounts We're in bad shape will you
kindly allow me to say that the frauds
of which Mr.. Judge was accused were
not financial; he failed to clear himself
of the charge of circulating forged let
tiers. My excuse for troubling you with
the correction is that as the making of
a charge against anyone is serious
matter, the charge should be accurately
stated. My use of the word fraud pro-
baby misled your reporter. Sincerely,
