AT last Mr.. Potter has come down from
his lofty perch next to the sky and while
he has not Prometheus-lke. brought fire
down from heaven. he has done the next
best thing by bringing his Photographic
light to the level of that paradise of the

ground-foor one in the absolute sense-no
stairs whatever to climb. With an outfit
new, elaborate and up TO date, added to the
largest and best equipment of lenses and
cameras in the State, together with suf-
licient tact and talent to handle them, Mr..
Potter proposes to supply, with better as
surance than ever, superior portraits at
moderate prices. And he takes this occa-
sion TO thank his loyal patrons of the past,
and hopes to meet successfully their de-
mands in the future, and those of the new,
customers that good and accessible loca-
ton should bring TO him. Music and SOU

cused of abusing the power reposed in

admitted that they have exercised the
power justly and even benevolently.

1T may be said, with respect to its

States stands alone. European coun-
tries, when contrasted with it, make
very Indifferent showing. 1t seems to
me that an argument for government as

but the debt of our country is not per-
manent In it's nature, and in prosperous
times it has been rapidly liquidated. I
am confident. therefore, that in the fu-
ture. as in the past, the people will view
with misgiving any movement in that di-
3rection. Besides, this scheme is not con-
sistent with the spirit of our form of
government. With nations abroad the
tendency and policy is TO make the peo-

theory looks to making the government
subservient to the people.

ANNEXATION
Clipperton Island Is Already United
States Property

OAKLAND, August 19.--Captain F.
w. Permien of this city claims Clipper
ton island and asserts, too, his title as the
bona fide discoverer of the tiny atoll
with it's beds of guano and of pearl oys-
ters. He asserts that on May 81, 1881,
while bound to Costa Rica i'll his brig,
the Elise, he first visited the island and
that on July 4. 1892, he visited it again
and hoisting the Stars and Stripes, took
formal possession of it in the name of
the United States.
Documentary evidence on file at Wash
ington, copies of which Captain Permien
possesses seem to substantiate his
claim and also to prove that the island
is United States territory
Captain Permien states that he has
made known the nature of his claim to
the agents of the British company now
negotiating with the men to whom he
gave a bill of sale for three-tenths of
the island. If the Englishmen are will
ing to pay fair price the captain and
his wife, who have taken keen interest
in the affair from the beginning, will
sell. If not they intend to work the de-
positS OF guano, which Professor Shaw
has estimated to be worth $50, ,O00, 900.
j. T. Arundel, the London representa-
tive Of the Pacific Islands company,
stated today that his company has under
consideration a proposition to buy the
guano deposits on Clipperton island.
He declares that even If Captain Per-
mein did raise the American flag, as is
claimed, there never has been any ac-
Iceptance Of the island. by this country.

COLOR PHOTOGRAPHY
Late Experiments Which Promise
Ultimate Success

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, August 1a-Since
Prof. Vogel of Berlin, Germany, sug-
gested that it was possible to produce
color with the camera, photographers
and chemists have sought to find sue
cessful process.
Albert Schneider of the Western En-
craving Company of this city has
achieved this. He can reproduce any OBJ
Ject in its natural colors.
The main secret of the process is the
extraction of the three primary colors.
yellow, red and blue. A novelty of the
work. is that the object is photographed
at right angles, or, practically, around
the corner. This is made possible by the
use of prism before the camera. Be
hind the prism is color filter. There is
a small. fiat tank of glass. This filter is
filled with chemically pure solution, to
exclude all but the color desired to be ex-
tracted from the object. A green liquid
is used when red is to be photographed; !;
blue solution when yellow is wanted,
and red mixture is put in the filter
when the third basic color, blue, is to be
reproduced. Back of the filter is the
plate specially prepared for the colors.

CoUDERT's CONDITION
The Famous Lawyer Is Dangerously

NEW YORK, August 19.-The World
says Frederick r. Coudert, the famous
authority on international law, lies dan
gerously i'll from nervous prostration at
his cottage at Bar Harbor, to which he
was removed little more than a week
ago. He is now continuously confined to
his bed.
Mr.. Coudert's illness dates back to
about four weeks ago. when he collapsed
while seated in his office, and his removal
to his country home in New Jersey took
place. His illness was coincident with
the death of his brother, Charles Cou-
dert.
Mr.. Coudert rallied sufficiently to he
able to attend the funeral of his brother.
This was his last appearance in public,
and from that time un til now he has been
almost continuously i'll. He rallied once
or twice to take short drives but tenn
porary improvement was followed by a
severe relapse. The removal to Bar
Harbor failed to bring the improvement
that was expected, and Mr.. Couderts s
closest friends now view his condition
with grave apprehension.

THE NEW TARIFF
McKenna's Decision Will Hurt

CHICAGO, August ia special to
the Tribune from Washington says: 1t
is probable that Attorney General Nc
Kenna will in a few days render his opin-
ion in the important question submitted
to him by the Treasury Department in
volving the construction of section % of
the new tariff law, placing dscrimin-
ating duty of 10 per cent upon merchan-
disc carried in other than American ves-
sells.
There is good reason, moreover, for the
statement that Judge McKenna's opin-
ion will decide that the effect of the new
tariff will be to abolish the bonded privi-
lege so lorg enjoyed by the Canadian
railways at the expense of their Ameri-
can rivals.
