Just for Fun

There are three gentlemen IN the
city, who took up the novel idea OF
travelling over the world and make
observations at different localities
as well as the people they come in
contract with. Their names are
Percy Rowley, of Detroit, Michigan;
F. H. Gardner, of Buffalo. N. Y,
and Ed Paul, of Berlin, Germany.
They carry with them a Camera
obscura. aud make fash light pic
lures of interior views, and by this
means supply their wants. Their
mode of doing business is to ask per-
mission to make the picture and
when they make a proof of the
same they show it and if it is not
satisfactory you are not asked to
take it. We learn they have made
fine interior views of parlors in this
CITY. as well as business houses and
machine shops.
The work done by these gentlemen
is of the very best character, by the
latest methods, and is first class in
every particular.

duciug a bill to bring it about. He
proposes to prohibit giving a pension

the merchant who does not keep
his establishment before the public
through the agency of advertising
cannot reasonably expect to build
up and sustain his trade. People
generally have neither the time nor
the inclination to burden their
minds with his affairs. Instead, he
must constantly remind them of the
existence of his store and of the
character and quality of its stock

that result, aud the oftner he shall

aArful pric, Of One Year, Peaoe. /"


One year of peace" will have
passed tomorrow since the evening
of Dec. 10, 1898, when the treaty
of Paris was signed, thus ending
the Spanish American war.
In celebration of that anniversary,
WhitelaW Reid, who was member
of the commission entertained at
dinner this evening at New York
the members of the "Peace Com
mission"
A United States army, composed
of 100, 600 men, is under arms. SEN
tries of this great army are stand
ing guard over territory from the
Western to the Eastern Henri
phere.
Since the signing Of the treaty
of Paris, one year ago, more troops
have been placed in the field than
at any time after the civil war.
One year Of peace has cost more
lives, has seen more American sol.
liers wounded on battlefelds, has
been a year of more suffering to
thousands of invalid soldiers weak
ened by campaigning, than the
year prec eding Dec. 10, 1898, which
was a year of war, This peace
policy, as inaugurated year ago,
has proven a costly policy. The
money sent to the Philippines ey,
cry month to pay the wages of the
troops alone amounts to over ST.
900, 900. This is but a small part
of the cost. To enjoy this year Of
peace" the American people have
paid out between $2l0, 100000 anC
$3.50, 900, 900. An officer recently
returned from Manila made the
statement that so per cent of tht
troops new campaigning there,
would be subjects for pensions or
their return on account of disease
and wounds.
