A few days after his departure, his

1T is not unbecoming to call spe cisl
attention to the pictures that appear
in today's daily and Supplement
Every one is the work of our own
special artist, John McNaughton. The
work that our illustrations, shown
every day of the week, entail is in.
comprehensive to most people un-
familiar with the newspaper business.
The pictures must be collected,
grouped, and prepared for publication.
The admirable technique attained by
our artist In most of his work is mar
velous, when IL Is known what a CON-
paratively crude method he must use.
The process is known as the ''chslk
plate process" IL is the one now
used In daily newspaper work all over
the country, owing to the speed with
which the picture can be
made ready for the paper,
compared with the old Photographic
processes. or course the Photographic
processes are still used for such work
Us is not required in a hurry. Every
daily newspaper of standing in the
country has its corps OF chalk plate ar
fists. The process is simple one.
A hard steel plate is thlnly coated
with n preparation of very fine chalk,
so compounded that il is of even tex
ture, fine grain, and can not be easily
cracked or detached from the plate.
The artist draws the picture on this
chalk plate with sharp stylus or more
often with hard pencil, cutting the
lines down to the steel plate. This
plate, the "mstrix," 10 then put in a
casting box, aud the metal. running
into the carvings in the chalk, pro-
duces; q thin plate on which the
lines of the drawing are ell in clear
relief, ready for printing. Tho
casting Is then mounted on a block and
the 'cut" is ready for the press. The
distinguishing feature Of this process
is that all depends on the skill of the
artist as to the effect the picture pro-
duces after 1t is printed. 1t may not
be generally known to Ell Paso people,
but IL IL nevertheless true, that the
HERALD's special art work, particular
ly In portraits, easily takes rank with
that of the best chalk plate artists in
the United S,a'es.

Land of the Sky"

In western North Carolina, between
the Blue Ridge on the east and the AL
leghanies on the west, in the beautiful
valley of the French Broad, two thou
sand feet above the sea, lies Asheville,
beautiful, picturesque and world-famed
as one of the most pleasant resorts in
America. It is land of bright skies
and incompatible climate, whose
praises have been sung by poets, and
whose beauties of stream, valley and
mountain height have furnished SUBJ
ject and inspiration for the painters

beautiful region on the continent to at
tract pleasure tourists or health seek
ers. Convenient schedules and very

THE story of China's Internal trou-

one of absorbing interest As our in
forests in the east are bound to iu-
crease, and as the United States has
already taken n position In eastern af-
fairs that must be counted on by the
other powers involved there, the link
connecting US with the countries and
the politics OF the orient will continue
to gain strength. We as people
know less about the orient, if that is
possible, than Spain knew OF US before
the war began. England knows
more of China aud Japan than she
does OF the United States. It is only
recently that American newspapers
have made any special effort to inform
their readers on matters concerning
that part of the globe. But OF late,
since Dewey took the fret
step over the threshold,
the country has demanded Information
OF the orient aud the newspapers have
complied with the demand. The story
OF the deposition of the young emperor
and the assumption of power by the
dowager empress is one OF particular
interest to us now, because il Is not I'M
likely that these change will have q
definite effect on our future in that
part OF the world. One thing is GER

Fanny Davenport has known some
terribly bitter moments since she was
struck down by her recent affection,
but probably the bitterest of all came
when she was forced to realize that
she must give up her idea of appearing
again before the public. and to con-
sent to her husbands filling her dates
this season with a new actress to fill
her place. The New York Herald con-
tains this interesting item:
Miss Blanche Walsh has accepted
Mcdowell, Miss Fanny DavenportS
husband, to go a-starring with him
next season in Miss Davenport's roper
toire of Sardou plays.
Miss Davenport is gradually, but
steadily recovering from her recent ill
ness, at her home at South Duxbury,
Mass, but her physicians say it will be
a long time before she is able to ap-
pear on the stage again-certainIy not
next season. This being evident some
time ago, her tour for next winter was
Cancelled.
Recently, however. Mr.. Mcdowell,
with his wife's consent, decided to go
out himself in her repertoire. Miss
Walsh was decided upon as the most
capable of the available actresses to
fill Miss Davenport's old roles, and ne
gotiations were opened with her at
once. Mr.. Mcdowell is now busily
engaged organizing his company and
booking tour"
Miss Walsh will probably be as good
a substitute for Miss Davenport as
could be found. She was always a IA
vorite in Salt Lake, and it is to be
hoped she and Mr.. Mcdowell will in
clude this region in their tour.

KANSAS INSURANCE SQUABBLE.
Companies Say They Are Held Up
By State Officials.

New York, Aug. 13.-The Herald to-
day says: Evidence given yesterday
(Friday) in the. supreme court by E.
F. Beddal, resident manager of the
Royal Insurance company, and Charles
G.. Smith, secretary of the German
American Insurance company of this
city, will be used in connection with
the disputes between the Kansas insur-
ance department and the insurance
companies doing business in Kansas.
Webb McNall, superintendent of insur-
ance of Kansas, recently sent men to
examine the books of the various COM
panies. Some companies permitted the
examinations and others would not.
Agents presented themselves at the
Offices of the Connecticut Fire Insur-
ance company last month, but ]. d.
Brown, the president, informed them
that his company would expect them
to pay the expense of the examination.
He said, however, that there was no
need of any examination, as he was
willing to answer all questions with
reference to the affairs of the company.
Word was sent to Kansas, and Nc
Nall revoked the license Of the COM
pany there. The company obtained
from Judge Foster a temporary in
junction, restraining any interference
with it's business until a hearing could
be had. Mr. BeddaI, in the hearing yes
terday, testified that December last
Judge c. E. Foote of Topeka, Kan,
called at the office of his company as
the representative of McNall. He spent
about Is days in the New York offices
and two days each in the offices in Phil
