THE PICTURE STORY.

TIE TIVVO06 0jONV.
Some Valuable Points From an Expert
Photographer.
The picture story-that Is, the story in
the pictures-.will be most impressive, and
consequently most artistic, when it pro-
duces, so far as may be possible, the i]lu
sion of reality. This reality Is not likely
to be had without sacrifice on the strictly
pictorial side. Room backgrounds, for ex-
ample have a quality in the interest Of
realism that certainly would not be sought
in strictly decorative scheme, and in the
posing of the figures throughout my plays
have sought to preserve naturalism at
whatever violence to conventional compo-
sition.
The thing to be remembered here, as in
10 many other avenues OF art, is that the
literal is not always the highest truth.
The most commonplace photograph will
illustrate for us the circumstance that
there are widely divergent ways of trans
hitting fact A portrait study, for OK
ample, may be truthful without resem-
bling in spirit another truthful portrait
study from the same subject. And even
two efforts toward strict naturalism, If by
different PERSONS must be oolored by the
personality of the artists. This is rs true
in the tableau vivant and In artistic pho
Biography as in painting. The expert in
photography can identify the work of dif
ferent camera practitioners quite as readi-
~ as the expert in painting identifies
varying personalities in that medium. In
fact, one of the phases by which we may
perceive the range of posing, selection and
Photographic method is that the photogra-
pher inevitably has a$tyle.
Thus it happens that realism in photog'
raphy, as in other media, is not altogether
q definite term. use the word to express
that difference from pictorialism which at
once comes into debate in the arrangement
of fictitious backgrounds and the placing
of living subjects. And certain element
Of realism appears in photography whether
we will or no-everything is approximate

predicted. The future Will tell whether
she has predicted truly or not But this
is not ALL Here Is another prediction by
her, which is still more curious" And he
read from the little notebook:
"After this first siege there will be a
second siege of Paris, and the French will
recover Paris from those Frenchmen who
shall have obtained possession of it. Aye,
the French will penetrate into the city, led
by a warrior, who will become their gov
ernor. The horses will wade through blood,
nd the city will be ablaze with fires After
that time will como calm and prosperity,
which will continue for 80 years, but the
people will have to purchase that season of
rest with much gold. There will be no war
without the will of the people, and the
governors of the people will he changed
ten times, and Of these ten the most up
right man will be stricken to the heart by
q single blow of a dagger. Then, after
these 80 years of prosperity will come
again wretohedness, war and famine, and
this miserable season will last until the
arrival of the savior, who will come from
the north, escorted by cavalry, armed with
lances. He will reign five years, and dur
ing his reign the people will enjoy an
abundance of everything, but in due time
his death will come, and that event will
be the signal of the great PARTITION
The clergyman closed his notebook and
was about to put it in his pocket when M.
Duquesnel requested permission to copy
the strange words of Virginia. This was
readily granted, and hardly had they been
copied when the train arrived at Monies,
and the passengers diseIn barked. The
mysterious clergyman babe courteous
farewell to all and told them that he was
about to start for America. M. Duquesnel
has not seen him since, and he knows
neither bis name nor his residence.
But he preserved the predictions careful
~, and, reading them 26 years after he re-
oeived them and 100 years after Virginia
wrote them, he finds them, so far as he
can judge up to the present, entirely true.
1t remains to be seen whether she has proph-
esied with equal truth in regard to the
events that will occur during the next few
years.
According to her, there will be four
more presidents in France and five more
years of popular government. This allows
little more than year for each president,
which seems very short term. After these
five years are over she predicts season Of
wretchedness, war and famine, which will
endure until France is rescued by savior,
who will come out Of the north and whose
reign will be eninently prosperous But
this prosperity, it seems, will only last five
years, and then the savior will die, and his
death will be followed by the "great par

HER PREDICTIONS.

A COLORED WOMAN'S PROPHECIES
CONCERNING FRANCE.
She Lived In Massachusetts and Made the
Predictions In 178O-Important Events
Clearly Foretold-Will tho Others Prove
True?
After lying hidden for many years nota-
bic prophecies have been brought to light
by Felix Duquesnel, a distinguished French
Ntterateur. The manner in which he dis
covered them was curious. Years ago.
soon after the beginning of the Franco
German war; to be exact, at O'Clock on
the evening of Sept. 8, 1870-he entered at
Paris the train bound for Nantes, bust
ness connected with his journal taking
him in that direction.
Between Paris and Charities a she'll

minutes later spent ball shattered the
glass of the compartment next to the one
h which NJ Duquesnal was seated. After
passing Charities the danger vanished, the
lamps were relit, and, az is usual, the pas
sengers furtively inspected each other. M.
Duquesnel thought all his companions
very commonplace persons, with the OK
oeption of one gentleman, who was dressed
like a clergyman and looked in every way
an original His face was pale and clean
shaven; his eyes were wonderfully bright;
to use Heine's expression, he had about
him the perfume of science, and finally
there was about him an air of distinction,
which stamped him as a man of mark in
some line or other.
Conversation arose about the war, and
the general opinion was expressed that it
could not last much longer, and that the
Prussians would soon be driven back to
their own country. The clergyman alone
expressed the opinion that the war would
last much longer.
"Predictions made by Virginia, " he said
quietly, ''point in the same direction"
The passengers were dumfounded. OF
Virginia and her predictions they had
never heard. What were they, and who
was Virginia. Would not the clergyman
enlighten them?
He would, and did. Virginia, he ex-
planned, was the name of an old oo]ored
woman who lived in suburb of Boston
about the year 1880 and who made lv-
ing by telling fortunes.

THE KAvA-KAvA SHRUB ana PROBABLY was
Piper Aethysticun1 used for centuries
by the natives before its extraordinary
properties became known to civilization
through Christian missionaries. In
this respect it resembles the discovery
of quinine from the peruvian bark,
made known by the Indians to the early
Jesuit missionaries in South America,
and by them brought to civilized man.
1t is a wonderful discovery, with rec
ord of 1900 hospital cures in 80 days. It
acts directly upon the blood and kid
neys, and is a true specific, just as qui-
nine is in malaria. We have the strong
est testimony of II any ministers of the
gospel, we'll known doctors and business
men cured by A1kavis, when all other
remedies had failed.
In the New York HeekZy Ford of Sept. 10th,
the testimony of Rev. w. B. Moore, D. D., OF
Washington, D. c. was given, describing his
years Of suffering from kidney disease and
Rev. Thomas Smith, the Methodist minister at
Golden, Illinois, passed nearly one hundred
gravel stones after two weeks use of Alkavis.
Rev. John H. Watson, ofSunset, Texas, minister
of the gospel of thirty years service, was struck
down at his post of duty by Kidney disease.
After lowering between life and death for two
months, and all his doctors having failed, he
took Alkavis, and was completely restored to
health aud strength and is fulfilling his duties
minister OF the gospel. Mr.. r. c. Wood, a prom
inent attorney of Lowell, Indiana, was cured of
Rhcu1na L1S1l, Kidney and Bladder disease OF ten
years standing, by Alkavis. Mr. Wood describes
himself as being in cons slant misery, often COM
PEELED to rise ten times during the night on
account of weakness of the bladder. He was
treated by all his home physicians without the
least benefit and finally completely cured in
few weeks by AlkaviS. The testimony is
doubted and really wonderful. HRS. James
Young, of Kent, Ohio, writes that she had tried
six doctors in vain, that she was about to give
up in despair when she found Alkavis and was
promptly cured of kidney disease and restored
to health. Many other ladies also testify to the
wonderful curative powers of Alk6vis in the
various disorders peculiar to womanhood.
So far the Church Kidney Cure Com
pany, No. ara Fourth. Avenue, New
York, are the only importers of this
new remedy, and they are so anxious to
prove its value that for the sake of intro
duction they will send free treatment
of Alkavis prepaid by mail to every
reader of this paper who is a Sufferer
from any form of Kidney or Bladder
disorder, Bright's Disease, Rheuma-
tism, Dropsy, Gravel, Pain in Back,
Female Complaints, or other affection
due to improper action of the Kidneys
or Urinary Organs. We advise all Suf-
erers to send their names and address
TO the company, and receive the A1kavis
free. It is sent to you entirely free, to
prove its wonderful curative powers.

Never in the history of Knoxville has
the city suffered such loss by fire as it
did on the 8th. The very heart of the
city, including some of the largest
wholesale and retail business houses in
the South, was destroyed. An almost
correct estimate of the losses and in
surance shows: Total loss, SIGH, 900;
total insurance, S614, O29. 10 The loss of
life is very uncertain, as the register of
the hotel, in which fifty-six people
were sleeping, was burned.

There is more Catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For a great many
wears doctors pronounced it a local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.
