the stories of abduction and outrage of
the wife as told by Stills is untrue, but
many persons here are not satisfied with
the revelations made by friends of the
accused.
Constable Hudson says he found that
Mrs. Stills was with her mother at
White Sulphur Springs up to II O'Clock
Saturday morning.
A liveryman at Lection says positively
that he took Mrs. Stills to the home of

IN CHILKOOT PASS
One Thousand Men Caught
Out in 1t September /.
A LETTER FROM CRATER LAKE
Dyea Trail Likely. to Be Completely
BlOckaded With Snow by
September 20.

SAN Francisco, Sept. PA letter
from Crater lake, Alaska. dated Septem-
Der 2, says:
A thousand men toiled all of yesterday
in a binding storm of snow and sleet
on the summit of Chllcoot pass. The
blizzard lasted from daylight till dark.
T. G. Willard, of Butte, Mont, fell
from the rocks at point half way be-
tween the summit and Crater lake, and
fractured bone in his left forearm. A
physician set the limb and Willard
pluckily continued across toward Lake
Lindermann.
An Indian at Dyea said few days
ago that Chilcoot pass would probably
be blockaded by snow about the 25th.
He said that miners fortunate enough to
have their supplies across the summit
before that time can reach Dawson.
The rivers he claims will keep open until
late in November, although the lakes
will probably be frozen in six weeks.
Ten days ago the Indians charged 80
cents pound for packing from Dyea to
Lindemann, the rate is now 40 cents.
When the next steamer arrives it will
probably jump to 80 or 60 cents.

Building Displeases Them.
CHICAGO, Sept. .21.-Presbyterian min
listers of Chicago are indignant over the
fact that the work OF excavating for the
foundation of the new federal building

Association resolutions were passed and
copies forwarded to President Mckinley
and Secretary Gage, expressing regret
that the Christian Sabbath is being
violated by the building OF the new
postoffice and custom-house, and re-
questing that officers having the build
ing in charge order that the law of God
be obeyed and all labor on or connected
with the construction of said postoffice
be suspended on the Christian Sabbath.
The ministers are confident that the
federal authorities will act favorably on
the matter.

Probable Fate That Awaits COnvicts
From the Recorders Court.

Probable Fate That Awaits COnVicts
From the Recorders Court.
The county commissioners will hold
their regular monthly meeting this after
noon, and outside of the routine business,
they will have before them for discussion
the interesting question as to whether or
not they will use the convicts from the
recorders court, sentenced for violations
of the city ordinances, on the county
chain-gang.
The convicts from the. recorders court
have not been used in chain-gang work
for about three or four years, and the
question is one which has recently been
giving the board some little trouble. The
recorders court prisoners have heretofore
been punished by confinement in the all,
which makes them a heavy expense upon
the county, and in many instances a negro
had Just as soon spend a little time in
Jail, where he is fed and cared for, as not.
The matter was recently submitted to
County Attorney j. r. Saussy for an opin-
ion and he has examined extensively in
TO the suhiect. 1t is understood that Mr..
Saussy will to-day advise the county COM
missioners that they can work the re-
corder's court convicts on the county
chain-gang, provided the recorder SEN
fences them to that institution The law
plainly permits of their being sentenced
to hard work, but says little or nothing
about county chain-gangs. Mr.. Saussy
thinks, therefore, that if the city is will
ing, and the recorder will sentence the city
prisoners to the gang, there is no reason
why they should not be put to work, and
that there is no law against it.
If satisfactory arrangements are made
between the city and county, it is
probable, therefore, the recorders court
convicts will hereafter be required to do
work just as prisoners from the state
courts. They will have to wear the
shackles, and dig canals in ,Buckhalter
swamp, and help to ameliorate the sad
condition of the far-away barony. This
is indeed a sad fate which stares the thir-
ty-day prisoners in the face, since they
have been accustomed heretofore to living
on the fat of the Jail, and being served
in style by the walters at Sheriff Romans
hotel. They will undoubtedly find a
marked difference between the county ho-
tel and the Barony Of Buckhater
If any of the recorders court convicts
should enter a protest against such a
fate not a mental protest, but a legal
one that is, provided they should be sent
there, there would be no objection, of
course, to their taking the matter up and
making a test of it. Should the city ana
the county strike an agreement on the
subject however, it is not likely that
there will be such a thing as a test case
for some time to come. Mr.. Saussy's
opinion will probably be such a clear one
that there will be little use in trying to
enter such a protest against it,

THE mALF-ToNE PROCESS.
Interesting Account of Its Origin
and Name.
From the Philadelphia Record.


From the Philadelphia Record.
The name "half-tone" signifies as most
people know a particular kind of engrav-
ing. but comparatively few know how
this name came to be applied. William
Gamble, in the course of a paper read
before the Photographic convention at
Yarmouth, England, a few weeks ago,
explained the origin of the name half
tone. He said; l nave heard 1t stated
that the process is called half-tone be-
cause in the reproduction the picture is
lowered to a half-tone; that is to say,
possessing no high light or deep shadows.
That explanation is, however. a mistake.
The term "half-tone" came about in this
way. The difficulty of the early process
workers was to find a satisfactory meth1
Cd of reproducing a half-tone of the pho
tograph in surfaces for mechanical print
ing. Taking the case of topographic
blocks, 1t was easy to reproduce the high
lights by leaving the printing block hol-
low in those parts, so that they would
not be covered with in (, and would de-
post no color on white paper. 1t was
also easy to reproduce shadows by leaving
those parts in relief on the block, so
that the ink was deposited on them and
thus transferred a patch OF solid color
to white paper. But what would become
of the half-tones? 1t was not possible by
the operation of passing a roller over
the block TO lay half a shade of ink on
certain parts. Thus it was picture with
out half tone, and, therefore, merely
silhouette. But these early process work.
ers were led to reflect that the wood en-
graver got his tones by means of lines
Of more or less thickness,
and by placing lines closer or
further apart, also that the aqua tint etch-
er obtained his efforts by varying open
ness of a resinous grain, whilst the meZzo-
tinters and the seed plate engraVer obtain
ed their effects by the c.oseness and the
size of the stipple, ana again the litho-
grapher took advantage of the coarsely-
ground stone of a photograph could be
broken up into some kind of grain the
problem of making the photograph into a
printing block would be solved. We know
that this problem was solved after years
of patient experiment by placing in front
of the sensitive plate a ruled screen; that
is to say a network composed of crossed
lines on glass. The Photographic image
was broken up into a grain which repro
duced the tones of the photograph by dots
of various size. Half-tone reproduction
was accordingly achieved, and, natural "
the method was called the "half-tone pro-
cess" / do not knoN who first called 1t
"half-tone," but probably 1t arose in this
way: 1t was varlously called by different
workers according to their fancy; for in
stance, 1t was the Mesenbach process $50
called after the pateutee of one of the
Methods while others called It the ma
ture" process. and, besides, there arose
such names as "heliotype' and "luxotype."
But the pubic wanted to know what these
strange terms meant, hence 1t was usual
to add: "A process for reproducing the
half-tone of photographs" and this soon
became shortened into the half-tone pro-
cess.

Brandy Farmers.
From Chambers Journal.

TONI CndiHDeI JOhAAAdAs
The brandy farmers Of Charente are a
distinct class. Every one of them, even If
he own no more than a patch of six or
seven acres has his own still and manu-.
features his own spirit. Most of the stills
which / saw were mere shanties of the
most primitive type, like Highland bothies
or the rude huts in which Illicit 'potheen"
used to be- and / dare say even now is,
manufactured in some wild parts of Ire
land The apparatus is of the simplest
kind-just a boiler. with receiver and the
worm" or serpentine, mere tube thrust
into a big cylinder of cold water. There
are usually two of these humble stills in
operation, and wood is generally used as
fuel. When the farmer commences work
ing his stills day and night until he has
converted all his wine into spirit The
brandy at this stage is perfectly color
less. and contains the whole of the essen
tial oil, which has subsequently to be
removed by drastic process OF filtration.
This. however. the farmer leaves to the
merchant to whom he brings his brandy
for sale.
Many of these brandy farmers are very
wealthy. 1 was told of one worth f10O,Oc0,
another $4,000. third $4,000 and eonsid-
cradle number with 10000 and 10000 apiece
sums which figure out magnihcently
in francs. But to look at them, you
would never guess that they possess as
many pence as they have pounds. For,
however rich they may be, they still re-
tain the dress and style of peasants. They
make no attempt to ape the manners and
fashions of those above them. Each gen.
Grafton is content to live as it's predeces-
sor did-a frugal. hard working life, with
it's occasional holidays and junketings,
and the exercise of that thrift which is u
French peasants highest pleasure.
