ing addressed by the nominees for

gressmau Otey. Notwithstanding
the threatening aspect of the wealth
er there was an unexpectedly good
crowd, many ladies being present.
Air. 5. l.. Ferguson presided.
Daniel, of Course, made fine
speech, which was received with the
usual manifestations of pleasure and
approval. He discussed both State
and national issues, pointing out
that Virginia had prospered most
under Democratic RUE, and charg-
ing that tho policy of the Republi-
can party i'll the nation had impov-
erished the plain people and exal ed
the rich; had originated ard fostered
every description of monopoly and
discouraged individual achievement.
Major Otey cited interesting de-,
tails OF good administration by the
Democracy i'll State and nation and
made an exceedingly entertaining
speech.
The feature Of Mr.. H. d. Floods
speech was his attack upon G. H.
Chiffon, the so called independent
candidate for floater delegate. He
produced seciet documents, which
he declared were in Chillon's hand
writing, advising the formation of n

FACTS FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS.

What is recied among amateurs is
more study and thought and not so
many photographs.
Poor slides often make excellent COW
er glasses if they are free from bubbles
and well cleaned. Thus they are not
total losses.
Toning in photography means tint
ing or giving slight change of color.
1t might just as well be called gliding,
for in the toning bath thin layer of
gold is deposited on the surface of the
picture.
1t is point to bear in mind in
slidemaking that slides which are just
right for lantern with oil light are all
wrong for the oxygen jet. Again, those
that are suitable for the latter are not
the finest for the electric light.
1t is rule of photography that
breadths of shade should if possible be
linked together by other accidental
shadows, and the toning bath is some
harmony there. This recalls the old
story of the artist who was asked what
the dog was doing in Lis picture.
Why" said he, "he is carrying tAa
light and shade through it,"
A marvel in the line of rapid Fac
Biography was performed in New York
when biograph pictures of the parade
Of Astcr's battery, taken in the after
noon, were shown the same night at
Keith's theater. The pictures, 1000 in
number, were taken in 25 seconds, ten
ninutes after four o'clock. They were
sent to Hoboken for development, and
were back at the theater at 9:15
o'clock. This is said to be the fastest
work of the kind on record, the best
previous record of seven hours having
been made in London on the occasion
of the return of Gen. Kitchener from
Egypt.

HOW HE LOST HER.

The stalwart young man earelessly lifted

form to call it leather sphere.-came
toward him like rifle shot he swung his bat.
.'Ah!" groaned the crowd.
He had famed the air.
This phrase is also the correct form.
Again the high-priced pitcher juggled the
ball mysteriously, again it came like rife
shot, again, the young man at the plate
And again the crowd groaned:
The high-priced catcher rolled the ball
carelessly down to third, put on his mask,
came close behind the bat, spread his high
priced legs apart, placed his hands on his
