in the imaginatons of few begin
ners who have listened to the vaga-

the film down will make 1t lie as

follows just the same as for plates,
but with the film face down instead
of face up. Handle the films one at a
time at first. just as you would be
obliged to do with plates, and you
will find them fully as easy to manip-
ulate-and they won't break. After
little experience you can handle
several films in the developer at one

STATUS OF THE DOG

The United States Supreme Court on Mon
day decided q case involving claim for
damages for killing dog, which had made
its way from the lower courts OF New Or.
leans through the various phases of lItiga
ton to be finally decided in opposition TO the
claim. The suit was instituted by George
w. Sentell, Jr., VS.. the New Orleans and
CarrolIton Railroad Company.
The dog. a Newfoundland, valued at $500,
was killed by car owned by the railroad
c.lmpany.
The case turned upon the validity OF an
act Of the Louisiana Legislature recogniz
ing dogs as personal property only when
placed upon the assessment rolls. In this
Case the dog was not assessed Justice
Blown delivered the opinion of the court,
sustaining the constitutionality of the law
and refusing damages. Justice Brown laid
down the law in regard to dogs in general
in the following terms:
The very fact that they are without pro
lection OF the criminal laws shows that
pEsperty in dogs is Of an imperfect OF quail
iiie1 nature and that they stand as it were
bstween animals teraenaturae. in which,
until subdaed there is no property, and do

erty is complete. They are no. considered

A STRONG STATEMENT.

II Mr.. Gladstone's knowledge OF Euro.
pean affairs is as comprehensive as he thinks
it, then Europe at the present time is dom.
mated by Germany and Russia, and all other
nations are subject to the diplomacy OF these
powers. Mr.. Gladstone, indeed, states the
case more strongly. He charges that Ger
many and Russia themselves are completely
that the Gar and the Kaiser are the arbi-
tiers OF the nations and directly responsible
for maintaining the Turkish Empire, and,
therefore, indirectly answerable for the
Armenian atrocities and the present com
plications in Crete and Greece
In a letter addressed to Dampzes, the
Macedonian leader, Mr.. Gladstone says:
"You might, and all Hellenes might,
count upon the sympathies of the people
Of this country, and in most matters when
you have the sympathes oil this people you
can count upon the action of our Govern
ment; but 1t is not the people or the Gov
eminent Of Great Britain who are directing
the course OF Cretsn and Greek questions.
"Under the present deplorable scheme all
our Government has TO do is TO plead for its
opinions as il 1t were before tribunal Of
these youthful despots, the Emperors Of Ger
many and Russia, and to abide by end help
execute their final determinations"
The language Of this letter is not that of a
diplomatist, hardly even that OF statesman,
charged with the responsibilities Of national
affairs. II is rather that of an agitator
preaching new crusade. None the less
will the letter have its weight and influence,
for IL emanates from no ordinary man.
Mr.. Gladstone is still great leader, and bic
leadership was never more apparent than at
this time, because he is the only man In
Europe holding front rank in statesman
ship who speaks with clear, resolute and
decided voice on the issues that confront
the nations.
When men are undecided, doubtful and
hesitating, almost any man whose mind is
fully made up, who has convictions and not
merely opinions, and who, furthermore, has
the courage to assert them and the ability TO
maintain them with force and effect, is GER
tain sooner or later TO dominate the wavering
and irresolute multitude and shape their
energies to the accomplishment Of his will.
IL is this fact which gives importance TO Mr..
Gladstone's attitude at the present time.
While others are hesitating he goes forward,
and II is only question Of time when the
waverers will follow his leadership and join
10 his crusade.
The "youthful despots," as Mr.. Gladstone
calls them, have In this old but still eloquent
and forceful orator an antagonist in no way
unworthy OF their power The throne is no
longer superior to the forum, and the man
who can speak TO the whole civilized world is
not unequally matched against men whose
words command armies. The Gar and the
Kaiser may plot and plan in secret as they
will, but 30 long as the people of Europe
have leader Of the courage and eminence
of Gladstone the cause which they support
will probably prove the successful one when
the final arbitration is made, whether the
issue be determined by diplomacy or by the
sword.

ORA WING To 4 oLOsE

According 10 all reports, whether they
come from Madrid, Havana or the camp of
the insurgents, the Cuban war is drawing
TO q close. The rainy season, which has or
will begin few days, will put an end to
active campaigning on the island, and the
which TO reflect upon the situation and con-
slider well whether 1t be worth while to con-
tinue war in which they have gained no
success in the past and which threatens TO
be even more disastrous In the future.
Public sentiment 10 Madrid seems to be
wholly opposed to renewal Of the war
after the rainy season. News from that
city is to the effect that the Spanish govern
ment, not daring to make An open appeal
for additional troops to conduct the war,
has attempted TO raise private companies,
and has failed even In that. A call for Q, 900
volunteers has been followed by an enlist.
ment of only 200. The opposition news
papers of Spain have been encouraged to
make open attacks upon the Government
and to denounce the war as costly, cruel
and wasteful. This in itself is an evidence
that the Spanish people are weary Of the
strife, and will no longer support the Gov
eminent In an effort TO renew II.
In addition to this demonstration of pub.
lie sentiment against the war there are re
ports that the Government itself Is inclined
toward bringing 1t TO close. 1t Is asserted
that as soon as the rainy season sets 10 a
large number Of Spanish troops In the island
will be recalled TO Spain. This can hardly
mean anything else than an abandonment
OF the contest, for it is hardly likely thai
the present impoverished condition Of the
treasury OF the Spanish government would
undertake the cost OF running large bodies
of troops from Cuba to Spain simply for the
purpose of protecting their health during
the summer season with the intention of re-
turning them to the island when the weather
becomes more favorable to new operations
In the field,
The struggle is over. The Cubans have
won. Whether the time be long or short
before independence is recognized. there can
be little doubt but what 1t will he estab.
iished in the end.
