Fcs In Photography.

One serious and at the same time IN
suspected source Of fog in photography
is often due to the fact that the black
ing has slightly worn off the lens
mount and there is q reflection which
results in loss of brilliancy in the
negative. Constant use and endless
cleaning cf the lens in time wear the
blacking of, and this should be attend
ed to and all metal parts kept we'll
blacked. Where lenses are mounted in
aluminium still more care is necessary
in this respect, as, wherever IN such
cases the blacking wears off, white light
instead of yellow light is reflected into
the lens.
Sometimes diaphragms Of the iris
pattern are greatly at fault in this re-
spect. By reason of its construction the
leaves or vanes in this diaphragm are Ill
constant friction while being set. and
thus become polished and reflective, for
which reason some photographers avoid
having iris diaphragms in their lenses,
Notwithstanding their convenience. A
careful examination of the apparatus
will insure safety in this matter. Stops
of the ordinary pattern become in time
little better than bare metal, especially
at the edges Of the aperture.

A Notorious Woman
Murdered in Habana.
Fred Krause, Former Lieu.
tenant of Volunteers, Has
Been Arrested.

Habana, June 18-The local pa
pers today devote considerable space
to the murder of the notorious Min
ME Ross, who was killed with the
blunt end OF hatchet alter
being choked, and was found dead
early yesterday. 1t was first report
ed that we'll known army officer
was involved, but the uniform found
in the room of Fred Krause, now 10
custody on charge of being the mur-
dereir, is undoubtedly one formerly
worn by him. Krause was at one
time lieutenant of the Florida vol
unteers. He is said to be member
of wealthy Tampa family.
Thus far there is but little evidence
against him. Msny believe, from the
nature of the crime, that it was com
mitted by a woman. One theory is
that toe blow with the hatchet was
not Immediately fatal, and that the
victim was then choked to death
Robbery could scarcely have been
the motive, for the police found ST.
500 in the murdered womao's room
and quantity of valuable jewelry on
her dressing table.

The Status Of Dogs.

Columbia, June 1.-THE dog, "sbe
yellow dog" if you please, or aoy sort
of a dog, is Oh top again. The
Supreme Court Of South Carallna is on
bis side. The Supreme Court holds
that dog has value sad can be stoleo
and that the old comu law is out CT
date aud the modern dog is entitled to
lega! protection, and if you stes! a dog
you Gao be sent to prison. The case
was started 10 Newberry, where negro
named Lagfo.d was charged with steal
ing a dog, dog house, etc. The
Circuit Judge hel5, according to the
COMMON Law, that dog was not the
subject Of larceny and quashed the
Indictment. New the Supreme Court
unanimously holds that the CON mon
law does ros apply here; that it is
wrong not to value dog simply because
he is not edible, and that it is not a
wbim or caprice to keep dog. The
Court defends the dog for devotion aod
attachment, and contends that it IL
entirely punishable crime to steal a
dog, aud that the stealing OF dog
may be punished if the facts warrant
aud the indiotmen, be properly drawn.
The Circuit Cous is reversed on the dog
demurrer.

Trusts All Powerful.
So Thinks the Governor Of
WASHINGTON. They Cannot
be Checked.

ST. Louis, Mo-, Juue ia special
to TIE Republic fron Austin, Tex,
says: Gov. Sayers received letter
from Gov Rogers OF Washington
eec!ioing to attend the antitrust COZ
yention at ST.. Louis. He presents his
reasons as follows
"In reply to yoas iovi'atloD, allo"
ne to sag ths. it will be impossible for
me to attend. It has occurred to ne
10 this connection thai macy people
are advocating State coatrol of trusts
visb los risy, thinking in this way
to pass through the oext national
caup paign With safety to themselves feel
ing sure that whatever State legislation
NAV be enacted which will really curb
the power of trusts will eventually be
declared unconstitutional by the United
States supreme court. With those who
thus aid for that purpose advocate
State legislation regarding trusts | caa
have no synpathy, AID sm bouod to,
believe, too, that legislative acslon5
wbic:, seeks to control ths'formatiouV
and management Of trusts will prove
Intellectual.
"Io the Gsse place, the word
,trus.' is misleading when applied
to great many Industrial cou-
bioa,iops nov threatening the
prosperity Of the people many H.
stances OF ao-caled trusts are merely
larger corporations.
"Is has occurred to me that corpora
stion will be declared to possess
vested and constitutional right 20 buy
aud sell
CLEARLY. i: seems to ne, corpora,
tons as we'll as natural persons, have
right to buy, and hence right to sell,
whatever is offered for sale in the
market. II sufficient weight OF
capital be employed, corporation or a
natural person has the ability aud tie
constitutional right to sell all Of
certain product offered for sale, aud this
| uuquestionably viii operate to fix the
price ct which such product will in
foture be sold. We Gao see that, as
in the case Of that parent of trusts,
he Standard Oil Company, the power
to buy aud sell possessed by that con.
pany is entirely srficien: to regulate
the price at which oil will be sold.
The Standard Oil Company thus gets
the power to drive out of business all
competitors, and in this way to establish
the price for which their product must
be sold.
II am at less to see. too, bow the
natural and fundamental right of either
natural or corporate persons to boy and
sell can be interfered with by legal
enactment under our constitution. For
this reason l can see no remedy for the
trust evil save public ownership. This
new question Of the trusts is really the
very old onc of capital versus labor, or,
stated differently. the attempt Of tie
almighty dollar to entire supremacy IN
the affairs Of men. There is in all this
az irrepresaible coDhic. Which will nc:
