To make a good portrait in tho ortii-
nary room is quite difficult task, as
all the light to be had comes through
the window and leaves the shadow side
Of the portrait mderexposed. This can
somewhat be remedied by the use Of a
piece of white muslin about 12 feet long
and about 8 feet wide or more.
Stretch a string across tho room par
allel with the window and fasten it to
o point about six feet from the window,
and also six feet from the floor. Fasten
the muslin over the top Of the window
and throw the other end over the string,
allowing it to fall to the floor This forms
a sort of onc-half side Of q tent, and
this somewhat confines the light and re-
fleets it on the shadow side Of your OBJ
ject and helps to brighten and soften
the light In using curtains for back
ground place them back Of the sitter as
far as the wall will allow, so as to pro-
duce soft effect. Place the sitter about
three feet from the window and about
opposite the far side of the easement.
Pull the window down from the top, and
perhaps 1t would be best to cover up the
lower part Of the window with some
dark cloth or paper. Close all doors so
as not to have any draft, and then make
the exposure.-J. A. Boos in New York

NO MEANS TO ENFORCE LAWS.
THE Captains Scheme for Military Govern
ment-Supplies Scarce Mt Dawson

Tire Captains Scheme for Military Govern
ment-Supplies Scarce at Dawson.
Up to the present time the laws in the
country have not been enforced. nor does
there exist any means for enforcing
them; all disputes are settled by mir
ers' meetings. As part Of his scheme for
military government Of the northern
territory he suggests that i court be
established at the capital, the appoint
ment of commissioner of mines to
settle disputes as to title, and the pass
age by congress of a code Of laws for
the territory. just as for the District CT
Columbia. He recommends that the gov
eminent construct a strong river steam
er OF $50 tons to use for the relief of
people In distress. Eli Gage, who had
just arrived from Dawson. reported that
the supplies and stores at that placs
were very low and nothing had been
delivered there by either company since
Aug. IS. except one barge load Of liquor
and boots.
In supplemental report Captain Raw
notes the arrival of the transportation
company's steamer Weare with a cargo
Of 200 tons of provisions. The captain
says she is the last boat for this season.
The other company expects more boats.
When navigation closes he says there
will be 600 tons Of provisions at Fort
Yukon and he will do what he can to
assist in forwarding supplies and to pro-
tect the caches from raids. There were
40 people at Fort Yukon and much dis
satisfaction among them over the fail
ure OF the transportation company to
forward them to their destinations.
Writing on the 10Th Captain Raw
says: There have been many threats
and some show Of arms today. but be-
lieve 1t will be settled without violence.
as Eli Weare has just arrived and
made favorable concessions. There are
several people here without food and
money. I understand the steamers will
carry the most Of them down to st.
Michaels. but this element will become
a serious factor after navigation closes
and they continue to come down the
river"

Farmer of Missouri Arrested for Klning
His Two-Year-Old Daughter.
Liberty, Mo-, Oct. 26.-William Carr, q
farmer. was arrested at his home here
yesterday charged with drowning his
2-year-old daughter. The arrest clears
the mystery surrounding the finding OF
q body in the river weighted down with
stones near Kansas City two weeks ago.
Mrs. Andrew Stephens whose adopted son
Carr is. identified the clothes Of the
dead child as those belonging to her
granddaughter. Carr claims that he
gave the child to q rowing family which
he met near Kansas City.
When the body was first found Mira
Eunice Lovine, Of Kansas City, posi-
lively identified the clothes on it as
those OF her child, and on the strength
OF her statements q warrant was issued
for her husband, charging him with MUIR
dering the baby. The Lovine child has
since been found alive at Lincoln Center,

Talk OF q Repetition OF the Suffering Of

j. b. Dougherty. assistant under-sec-
rotary Of state for Ireland. discussing
the situation, said there would undoubt-
edly be suffering. but that the predic-
tons of famine similar to that Of the
year 1s4S were the greatest rubbish"
He added: There are several counties
on the West Coast Of Ireland, where
the people have had an exceedingly hard
time to attain self-support under the
best conditions, and 1t requires but a
small push to send them over the line.
so that with q small falling Off Of the
crops they will be obliged to accept
aid. This will be the case in parts Of
the West Coast. Two circumstances,
however, will prevent a recurrence Of
famine in ireland under any circum.
stances-namely. the increase Of rail-
road facilities since 1s4S and the fact
that the people no longer depend entire
ly upon the potato crop.
THE truth Is that part Of Ireland Is
not sufficiently productive to support
its people and 1t is question whether
manufactures should not be taken to
them or whether they should not be
taken to the manufacturers OF England.

-Opinion OF . Government Oficiaa-
Nothing Like That Of '4a.
Dublin, Oct 26.-There are two sides
70 the question Of the famine in Ireland,
One side Is that Of the government,
which alleges that the famine is exploit
ed by politicians as an argument against
the administration Of Irish affairs. The
other side-held by many rthe crergy.
politicians and peoples that it is GER
tain that there will be great distress
throughout large sections Of the coun-
try. A meeting Of Roman Catholic pre-
lates was held at Naynooth last week
and these present adopted resolutions
that the archbishops and bishops of Ire
land deem 1t their duty to submit to the
government statement Of their conyic-
ZION, formed On the personal Knowledge
OF seven members of that body. that the
failure OF the potato ard cereal crops
IN many districts, particularly on the
southern and western coasts. must lead
to great distress and, unless speedy
measures Of relief are adopted, to disas-
trouS consequences
Government Urged to Act Promptly.
From delegates who were present at
the convention Of the Independents at
dublin last week details Of the situation
were learned. 1t Is particularly bad in
the middle and West Cork district, south
Ireland, from Macroon to the borders of
Kerry. including two eongested districts.
Meetings are being held, the parish
priests presiding, to urge the govern
ment to start relief works before the
people reach the point Of actual suffer-
Ing. The district OF Bantry, where the
greatest suffering occurred in 1S47 and
1919. is as bad as the Cork district The
potatoes are practically exhausted al
ready. In mid-Cork and along the
southern coast there is not more than q
quarter OF the usual crop.
Nothing to Eat by New Years.
1t Is said that a very small percentage
of the farmers in these districts have
saved their potatoes, and those saved
are reported to be so badly diseased
that when eaten they produce Irish
cholera" It is feared that the supply
OF food will be exhausted before the
new year. The other crops are very bad.
The laborers are worse off than the
farmers. because now that the crops are
harvested they have no expectation of
work until the spring. The government
officials insist upon keeping themselves
fully informed regarding the conditions
prevailing. and will be able. apparently.
to cope with the distress; but they say
they are unable to announce at this time
what districts or how many people will
be affected.
