that ! say it, it is obvious that Mr..
Clement played Hohenstauffen too long.

enemy. His son or daughter that he has
reared with loving care may become
ungrateful Those who are nearest
and dearest to us, those whom we trust
with our happiness and our good name,
may become traitors to their faith. The
money that a man has he may lose.
1t flies away from him, perhaps when
he needs it most. A mans reputation
may be sacrificed in a moment of ill
considered action. The people who are
prone to fall on their knees to do us
honor when success is with us may be
the first to throw the stone of malice
when failure settles its cloud upon our
heads. The one absolutely unselfish
friend that man can have in this
selfish world, the one that never de-
serts him, the one that never proves
ungrateful or treacherous, is his dog.
Gentlemen of the jury the senator
continued, "a mans dog stands by
him in prosperity and in poverty, in
health and in sickness. He will sleep
on the cold ground, where the wintry
winds blow and the snow drives fierce
ly, if only he may be~near his masters
side. He will kiss the hand that has
no food to offer, he will lick the wounds
and sores that come in encounter with
the roughness Of the world. He guards
the sleep of his pauper master as if
he were a prince. When all other
friends desert, he remains. When
riches take wings and reputation falls
to pieces, he is as constant in his love
as the sun is in it's journey through
the heavens. If fortune drives the
master forth an outcast in the world,
friendless and homeless, the faithful
dog asks no higher privilege than that
of accompanying him, to guard against
danger, to fight against his enemies.
And, when the last scene of all comes,
and death takes the master in it's EN-
brace and his body is laid away in the
cold ground, no matter if all other
friends pursue their way, there By
his graveside will the noble dog be
found. his head between his paws, his
eyes sad but open in alert watchful-
ness, faithful and true even in DEATH
Then Vest sat down. This remark
able speech he had delivered in a low
voice, without a GESTURE. No refer
ence had he made to the merits of the
case in hand. Not word had he ut
tered about the evidence. When he
finished, judge and jury were seen TO
have tears in their eyes. The jury
filed out, and in minute or two re-
turned to the court room. The plaintiff
had asked for 5000 damages. The yer-
dict gave him $500, and several of the
jurymen wanted to hang the defend
ant.

Special Correspondence of the Globe.
NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 1.-The dread
ed scourge of yellow fever which re-
Gently almost threw this city into
panic, could have been much more
quickly combatted and the public fears
allayed had the authorities been in
possession of a new serum discovered
by an Italian medical savant.
The new serum is known as anti
maryl. It's discoverer is DR.. Sanarelli
whose experiments while in Brazil and
Uruguay resulted in the discovery Of
the yellow fever germ. There is no
question in the minds of the physicians
here. even those who can look back
to the dread days of 1878, that had we
been blessed with the possession of this
serum, the danger of epidemic would
have been entirely averted. AS it is,
in New Orleans in yellow fever times,
one never feels safe until frost, the
one always successful foe of Yellow
Jack, puts in an appearance.
No one who does not live below the
4Sth degree of north latitude, the north
ern boundary of the district subject to
yellow fever, can imagine the absolute
terror which the news of the presence
of this fearful scourge inspires, There
fore it is no exaggeration to say that
the mama that fell to the children OF
Israel IN the wilderness, was no more
grateful than the news received mere
from a, reliable source that Sanarelll S
discovery in all probability meant a
new weapon against the fever, and

that in practice the instrument may as
sumo many forms, provided always
that it consists of darkened box or
chamber having a hole at one end for
the insertion of lens or combination
of lenses, and at the other a screen,
generally made of ground glass, on
which to receive the image.
This is the principle upon which Mr..
Perkins has constructed his camera
obScura apparatus, and by consider
ing the facts just stated, it is made
clearly apparent that he has utilized
one of tie greatest principles of pho
Biography in way which would only-
have been conceived by a man who
had studied along the lines which in
this regard others had deemed of no
use and impossible of development.
Thus, beneath the water the officer
who directs the firing of the torpedo
will have as clear and accurate view
of the position of his enemy as the
gunner aboard ship or the captain in
the coming tower of cruiser.
Now, as to the discharge and direc-
ton of the torpedo. All being ready,
the officer in charge makes a careful
calculation as to distance and direc-
ton. These points must be settled be-
fore anything else can be successfully
accomplished. Then the signal is civ
en- and the operators in divers cos
INFORMED gun and proceed to regulate
the storage battery, which every tor
pedo contains, so that there will be no
failure of the current at critical pc
Rod. Naturally, the torpedo is not TAX
en- apart for this purpose, but two
Z tiny levers inside are operated by
means of a series of electric buttons
so that everything may be placed iii
readiness. Attached to every torpedo
is a steering apparatus. What is
more, this apparatus is controlled by
automatic steering gear, which is OPP
Grated from within the torpedo by al
arrangement properly regulated by
means of push-buttons not unlike those
with which the electric bell of resi-
dence is equipped.
This steering apparatus is so ar
ranged that, when the course of the
torpedo is once laid, it can be set, as it
were, so that it is kept upon this
course as if the most veteran of helms
men were in control. Now, then, the
torpedo is ready and it's course set.
The officer in the dark chamber Of the
camera obscura gives the signal AL
most with absolute silence the missile
starts on it's momentous journey. The
officer watches the unSuSpecting vessel
at which it has been discharged. Sud
denly there is the conclusion Of a ire
mendous explosion. 1t is as if a mon
ster of the deep had risen beneath the
fated cruiser, tearing and rending her
so that presently she goes down, with
perhaps half her crew killed.
Then the officer dons the suit of div
ing armor, in which he descended to
his place under the sea. With the op-
orators he ascends to the surface and
makes his way inland The automatic
pumps, which have, concealed, been
furnishing supply of air, are stopped,
a 70 a NH
that they may be in readiness to sink
the next unwary enemy that comes
within their reach.

NEW FAD
in photographs

NEW YORK, Oct. 1-Young ladies,
would you be both artistic and fashion
able? Then have your pictures taken
in large hats. This is the latest, posi-
lively the very latest, and it Is as
fetchlng as it can be. 1t is sure to be
a popular idea, for what young woman
would not favor any legitimate plan
that makes her look pretty?
The hat should be of the Gainsbor-
0ugh order or something akin thereto.
and this years styles give one so much
latitude that it is entirely possible to
comply with the latest demand of the
smart set and still look as if one were
Gresse' fer t,nle crdI any event, in
stead Of so momentous an occasion as
facing the camera. 1t used to be the
way that almost any one who could
master the technical knowledge neces-
sary to utilize the suns rays in pie
turing human being was fully equip
ped as a photographer. No one expect
ed to look we'll, particularly, when
tt.eir picture was taken, it being con-
sidered amply efficient if the resent
blaLce to ones features was fairly ex
cellent
But nowadays it is altogether differ
ent. The photographer must not only
be an artist SO far as the appearance
of the word on his sign is concerned,
but he must also be a bona fide one,
capable Of posing and, if necessary,
causing his sitters to alter the ar
rangement of hair or apparel in order
that the very best result be secured It
is the advent of persons capable OF
these things into photography that has
brought about matters like this new
fad, for meme but a photographer and
a born artist would ever have conceiv-
ed so quaint and charming a thought
as this one is proving to be. One has
