4 Weighing Cock.

Camden says the Thames was once
called the Cockney, and therefore a
cockney means simply one who lives
on the banks of the Thames Wedge
wood says cockney, or cockerney, is
one pampered by city indulgence, in
contradistinction TO rustics hardened by
outdoor work There is, however. a
legend almost too good to be true
namely. that Londoner who had never
before slept out of sound of Bow Bells
had occasion to go into the country and
was detained all night.
He WAS much disturbed by the low
ing of the cattle, the granting of the
pigs and ot3er sounds of country life,
which he could not understand. and in
particular he was frightened by the

ARTISTIC PHOTOGRAPHY.


There has been great advancement
made In the last few years In all arts
and trades and photography is no excep-
ton. Photographs which few wears
ago were considered excellent speci-
mems OF the art are now looked upon Ms
very poor beside the modern methods
of bringing out or putting expression
into them by means OF strong lights
and shadows. But il takes thorough
artist to get good results in that line.
IL Is not sufficient that man under
stand the mechani cal process OF photo
graphy, he must have true artist s
taste and judgement in posing.
Bedding is fortunate In having now
an artist OF this class within her CON
fines The samples OF work placed on
exhibition by Mr.. e. III. King have
called forth the hearty econiums OF
our citizens and prove that the en-.
dorsemeDts which he brought with him

Mr.. King was doing large business
in Grand Rapids but was obliged to
leave there on account OF his health.
He is now much better and whether he
remains here permanently or returns
TO that city depends upon the business
done.
The BANNER hopes that Mr.. King
may become permanent fixture in

work done it would be we'll to call upon
him as soon as you conveniently can.

The Central Passenger Association

The Central Passenger Association
has made plans to defeat the efforts Of
an enterprising firm in Cincinnati to
do big business In railroad transport
tation issued in payment for newspaper
advertising. Such transportation is
issued with stipulation that it shall
be used only by the newspaper man to
whom it was originally issued, and he
makes an agreement with the railroads
not to permit any body else TO have the
transportation, which is usually in the
form OF a mileage book. Instructions
10 confiscate all editorial transporta-
ton presented by anybody but the per-
son to whom it was originally issued
have been given TO the conductors OF
all the eastern lines which are men,
bers of the Central Passenger Associa-
ton. The detectives OF the associa-
ton will doubtless succeed in securing
proof OF the fact II any editorial trans
portation is disposed OF TO ticket
scalpers.

The most distinct mark of the bust

to be laid aside or suppressed, other

President recommends only a

The President recommends that

Secretary OF the Treasury 10 sell
bonds on long or short time when
necessary to secure gold to sup
port the existing gold standard" ."
He does not suggest that further
legislat is required to establish
this standard. But he repeats his
recommendation that "a portion
ofthe gold'holdings shall be placed
in a trust fund, IRON which green
backs shall be:redeemed upon pre-
sentation, but when once redeemed
shall not thereafter be paid out
except Tor gold"
This has a specious sound, but
is 1t not in reality the best device
possible to enable strong synd %
cate to corner the money market7
A combination could easily be
formed in Wall street to take $780,
600. 900 in greenbacks to the Sub
Treasury and demand the gold for
them. 1t could then lock up the
gold; the greenbacks would be
"impounded" in the Treasury and
the money market would be $780,

porate the inhabitants Of said isl
