BABY's PICTURE.
This Photographers Has UnIsue
Method of Making Doting Mann
mas Happy.

An enterprising photographer has
lately completed system by which
his pictures of babies have become IA
nous. He has discarded all the ia
milfar eNpedients of his profession to
persuade very young children to sub
nit to the camera, and his scheme has
been completely successful. One part
Of his gallery has been fitted up like a
nursery. Around the room at con-
venient points are. situated cameras,
and these are in charge Of his assist
ants, says Tit-Bits.
The photographer devotes his at
tention to the baby. He tries all the
toys in turn, gets on as intimate terms
as possible with the baby after such
short acquaintance, and gradually
lures the unsuspecting infant into
looking his best. When pose and ex-
preston are satisfactory he gives a
signal to one of his assistants at the
cameras and the trick is done. Moth
ers bring their babies from all quar-.
tiers to this tactful photographers. It
would be difficult matter to find any
child who would not, after ten min
utes' session with toys, exhibit some
expression that his parents would be
proud of. The artist catches that ex-
preston, and as manyiother agreeable
ones as possible.
The final delight comes to the moth
er when she receives the proofs, not
sent Us proofs usually are, but mount
cd on large piece of cardboard, which
makes 1T possible for her to compare
them simultaneously. This wise man
has left nothing undone which could
strengthen his hold on the babies and
their photographs.

DRIVE OUT PINKERTONS.
Clash Between the Omaha Police and
the Exposition Detectives

Omaha, June 1O.-The city police de-
partment and the exposition manage
ment continue to clash in a most en-
barraSSing manner. Chief of Police
Gallagher has arrested two of the ex-
position detectives, and threatens to
drive all OF them from the state under
the anti-Pinxerton law. The exposition
ponds upon the PinkertOns to protect
the exposition visitors, which the Ona-
ha detective force cannot do, owing to
it's Generalization
". A Pinkerton has written the ez-
position management from Chicago
that he proposes to hold the chief of
police and his bondsmeu responsible for
the work of the police Two of the de-
tectives were caught outside the
the municipal force He placed them
both under arrest. They protested that
they were in the employ of the expOSi-
ton and not in the capacity of PinEer-
tons. They were later released on the
chiefs order without charges being pre-
ferred- Now the police force is trying
to hush this featur of the case.
The state law excluding PinkertOns
calls for the prescription of armed bod
les of men and was designed to prevent
corporations using detectives in times
OF strikes The exposition forces insist
that the importation OF Chicago thief
takers is absolutely necessary. The
police department is willing to see these
detectives imported, provided they will
be under their direction Otherwise
they declare that they will not permit
them to act. If these Imported detec-
tfves point out thief to an Omaha po-
licenan they will be arrested as this
will be evidence that they are violating

TO MOVE ON SPAIN.
Sampson Will lombard the
Spaniard in His Home.

Washington, June 1O.-With apparent
authority il is said that the plans OF
the administration with regard to
Spain extend further than now sup
posed, even by those generally well in
formed in public matters. The state
ment is made that if Spain does not
surrender with the fall of Porto Rico
and Santiago she will be made to feel
the sting of war at her own doors
1t is the belief of the president that
the fall of Porto Rico and Santiago
will bring Spain to submission and this
belief takes into account the stubborn
Spanish nature and the fact that it is
essential to the very existence of the
Spanish government that the war be
prolonged as long as possible and the
Spanish people fooled to the fullest ex-
tent. Knowing the possibility that the
officials of Spain may cling to a faint
hope of victories. the president has de-
cided it is said, to order Admiral
Sampson against Spain when certain
operations in the West Indies are con-
Guided.
OF course. this projected movement is
based upon the final disposition Of Ger
vera, which everybody believes will be
accomplished. That over, if necessary
a goodly portion of the fleet will be
sent to Spain to teach the people how
badly they are being fooled by their
officials.
