What HOPKINS Said.

SYRACUSE, N. Y, September T.
The 18th annual state convention of
the prohibition party opened here this
morning. The sensation of the session
was a speech by Temporary Chairman
Professor Hopkins, of Rochester. He
said the prohibitionists had been
caught by the last campaign of lies of
McKinleyism and Hannaism, which
was a party swindle on the country at
large. Dollar wheat was of divine dis
pensation. The party in power had
nothing to do with it.

PICTURED BY NATURE.
Forest Landscape Photographed In Colors

Forest Landscape Photographed In Colors
on o Chestnut Slab.
That nature is a rare artist in colors,
applying them with incompatible eff
feet, every one knows; but few persons
are aware probably that occasionally
she also tries her cunning hand at pho
Biography. Frank S. Peabody, of Paw
catuck, at the extreme southeastern
end of the Nutmeg state, has a wonder
fully precise and curious specimen o.
her handiwork in this way. 1t is a
natural landscape photograph ON a
chestnut slab.
A day or two ago, while wandering
about the Lodging woods, a vast and in-
describably dreary wilderness of tan
gled forest, morasses and ferns, in the
northern part of the hill town of North
Stonington, Mr.. Peabody came into a
clearing in the heart of the jungle tina:
was bestrewn with the PROSTATE trunks
of many forest trees felled by the
woodsman's ak. Stumbling about the
tumble Of logs, planks, fire and brush
wood, many pieces Of which were mat
ted with patches of moss and lichens,
forming singular and striking ara
besque art patterns, he finally espies1 a
short chestnut plank on whose wide
face was imprinted vivid, clearly de-
fined picture of the woodland sceSe
thereabout.
''The slab" said Mr.. Peabody, had
been lying for nearly year In a muck
or swamp region of the Lodging woods,
and no doubt the disintegrating effluvia
from the ground, reel1ing with mois-
ture, had wrought phenomenal chem
ical change in its smooth face, develop
ing therein Photographic fitness to re-
oeive and perpetuate impressions. At
any rate perfect likeness of the land
scape confronting the chestnut slab
camera, set up there by nature, had
been taken by it and faithfully aud
sharply fixed thereon. In fact, there is
the whole scene imprinted, accurate to
dot, with every tree, it's crown and
trunk, interlacing branches and boughs,
even minute twigs, swamp shrubbery
ind spindling stadders and shoats,
clearly defined in the plank likeness.
The slab, since it was in o nearly re-
cumbent posture, of course photo
graphed only the trees and brush that
were directly in front and above it, hut
the likeness is an unmistakable one.
Furthermore, it is a color photograph,
for the outlines of the objects traced on
the plank plate are OF a deep yellow,
like ochre."
Mr.. Peabody displayed his odd treas
ure in the show window of the Westerly
Daily Tribune, and scores of people
have examined IL.

vided Martin and Quay, who havs been
ut daggers' points ever since. At that
time Mr.. Penrose was state senator
from the Sixth district. Indeed, he has
been n member of one or the other
houses of the legislature for 10 years.
He lives at 1881 Spruce street in the
house in which he was born 35 years
ago. He is lawyer, a graduate of Har-
ward, and was admitted to the bar in
1883. In 1884 he was elected represent
ative, and his political career has been
of service to the state. He is a high
grade politician, an able statesman,
understands laws and law making, and
his youth will not take from him in The
United States senate. He is the new
type Of politician-the young scholar
man of wealth, good fellow, Of upright
character, genial disposition in a
word, the kind of man the public likes
to intrust with important duties. He
stands for reform, and his association
with Mr.. Quay has done much to con-
vince the people of the state that that
adroit politician is honest in his desire
TO thoroughly cleanse Pennsylvania

to emigrafe thither. II assert, said he,
that in East Africa we have not a foot
of land which may be termed absolute
ly healthy. We have no safe remedy
for malaria and dysentery, those dead
" enemies of Europeans. Were We
to send out so peasants to cut wood
they would have to tramp two months
to their work, and within a year %
would be dead" Europeans, he de-
clares, can only engage in planting,
trade, ranching or mining operations;
they cannot work with the AK. The chief
obstacles in the way of making an In
dia out of German East Africa were,
he said, the thinness of the population,
the low grade of the native intelligence
and the fewness of their wants. With
Germany in control the population, he
argued, would increase, as wars and
slave-raiding would be stopped, and
child-murder discouraged. He suggest
ed the possible introduction of Indians
and coolies from the Malay peninsula
and expressed the opinion that England
would not object to immigration from
some Of the most densely populated
parts of India, especially in times of
famine. But agriculturists were want
ed, not traders. AS for the native AT
ricans, it was extremely difficult to
turn them to account or devise any
method of taxation which could be prof
itably collected, for they had practical
" no wants and therefore had no in
centive to work.-Boston Transcript.
