THEY DISCUSS THE TARIFF.
photographers Favor an Increase
Over the Wilson Schedule.

The photographers Beneficial and Pro-
tective Association, L. A. 10 ;, held a spe-
cial meeting at the Monumental II all last
night for the purpose of giving expression
70 the feeling ofthe loeallithographers with
reference to revision OF the tariff on i'm
ported photographic products.
A committee from the national head
quarters at New York, consisting of Messrs
Richard Norris, editor OF the National
photographer, the trade journal: Fred Still
well and Matthew Heun, addressed the
meeting in favor OF IN increased tariff
on imported photographic products, IS
pecially from Germany.
The national association desires a spe-
cific tariff on such products that will
amount To about 40 per cent al yalorem,
an increase of 10 per cent over the Wilson
bill. In Germany the wages of Autograph
ers are less than one-third net than obtains
in the United States for the same labor.
If the wages OF the German liUhOgrdpheTs
were increased 800 per cent there woul'lbe
no Autographs imported from Germany,
and consequently no necessity for request
ing legislation on the subject.
The national association is taking time by
the forelock by asking Congress 10 protect
the American craft from foreign cOmpeti-
ton. The association has received ccnsid-
cradle encouragement from Congress as
to an increase Of tariff on photographic
supplies in the pending tariff bill, and to
further urge the matter before Congress,
the association last night passed resolu-
ton calling for the general signing OF
petition and the exercise OF collective and
individual influence on the members IF
Congress to amend the tariff on photographic
goods as proposed

Tor they could get their board free, and the
certirieates viii give them tn means for
obtaining clothes, shoes and whatever else
they want
THERE'S one man who wants to put In
stone quarry and take his pay entirely In
certificates. | asked him what use we could
put a stone quarrytO, and IN Indiana quarry
at that, and he coolIy said 1t would come
In handy for building houses. President
TilliIian investigated the matter and found
another man who has agreed To sell us some
land here in Chicago, but pretty well out,
of course, and receive certificates in pay
ment. We can get houses built N the same
way, as We have mechanics among us who
,vili gladly undertake the work III the deal
goes through the houses will be rented at
"A low rate to members, and the rental will
be paid in certificates.
Certificates are not TO be redeemed in
the sense of turning them into money
When a certificate is presented at the
warehouse it is redeemed in goods and is
then Cancelled. When goods are taken in
new certificates are issued We use 81 as
the unit Of value and grade the certificates
in that way. Thus, the simple numeral
Il means q one-unit certificate which is
the equivalent of 81. The only security be-
hind them is the stock Of gcods in store
and the honesty OF the men who are man
aging the branch. We have no salaried
officers. Nobody getsany pay exceptthcse
who give their entire time to the business
of the warehouse, and these are paid in
certificates
Suppose the market prices or the COM
modities you have In store are affected,
how will you protect the holders of the
certificates against loss in the event OF de-
probation, or prevent the paper from going
TO a premium n the event OF an increase
in the value of the merchandise
Our certificates have an established
unit of value and to this extent have the
same character that money does in the
general course of business. We will en-
deavor 10 maintain -fluctuating ratio
between the merchandise and the certifi-
Gates, but there must of necessity be some
risk just as there is in the case of actual
money which is not always of the same
power. Chicago Tribune.

YOUTHFUL RAZOR wIELDERS.
A Novel Institution Where the Ton
serial Art Is Taught.

This city has another novel institution
An enterprising barber has opened a ton
Serial school on Sixth street, near the
police court, where colored and white
youths are taught to become expert ma
nipUlators of the razor, shear and comb.
He already has number Of pupils who
desire to become BARRIERS. In order to
give them plenty of practice on living sub
Jects, all Corners are shaved for cents
each, while hair cuts are free.
The wayfarers who stop at the mission
and residents of small means flock to this
academy and allow the students to prac-
tice on their hair or boards, while an in
structor stands by and directs them how
to manipulate the tonsorial tools. Ludi-
crous incidents are frequent in the place,
and all sorts of hair cuts are administered,
from close crop with clippers to a long
roundup or football trim.

Drunk Three Times a Day.

"This man has been drunk one dozen
times within the past four days. testi-
fled Policeman Owen Cooney today in the
police court during the trial of Charles
BrOdey, who gave his name at the station
house last night as Charles Smith. The
prisoner was charged with being a va

and gave him some good advice. / adj
vised him TO go home and sOber up but
he did not heed me-" Brodey acknowl-
edged that he had INDUCED to tx cess ia

to the wOrkhouse for fifteen days, to get
the alcohol out of his system.

For ordinary folk, the best skirt lining is
rustling percalne or rustleline. The for
mer has beautiful finish and looks quite
as well as silk, but it costs 20 cents yard,
which is rather expensive for skirt. The
latter is coarse in appearance; has a good
sound and will wear well; price, 10 cents
yard Should this material, also, be too
expensive, ordinary muslin may be bought
for cents yard 1t is not to be recon-
mended, however, because it is apt TO wear
out before your dress material, besides los
ing its stiffness very quickly.
Many women who year ago lined their
skirts with silk, now face them with that
material about twelve inches up, on just
that part which shows. Two yardsis suffi-
cient for such use, and taffeta should be
bought at about 70 cents yard The silk
may be bright in coioriDg.
Following this hint in cheaper material,
fine serge and alpaca face many skirts. If
either of these materials is used, however,
1t is we'll to select black as coloring A
black alpaca facing looks fully as wen as
taffeta. and certainly wears much better
