A Trick on tho Photographer.

A Philadelphia photographer came In
contact with a situation the other day
that completely nonplussed him for the
time being. 1t was q trick that he had
never heard Of before, and It was played
on him by student in one OF the COL
leges, who is taking course in chem
istry. He visited the photographer the
other day and sat for his picture. When
the plate was developed the; astonished
photographer saw plainly on the young
mans forehead clearly defined death
head with crossbones beneath It. Think
ing 1t was some imperfection in the
plate, the photographer arranged an
other sitting. Again the skull and
crossbones appeared in the picture and
the mystified photographer was fairly
struck dumb with amazement. Then
he noticed the smiling sitter and finally
induced him to tell the joke. The trick
simply consisted in painting on the
forehead the grim design with solu-
ton of bisulphate of Quinine. This Is In
visible to the eye. but shows pure white
10 the camera.

the Sunday Globe: Are old age and
great wealth deslrable?" and he men
toned several distinguished people who
chased or were chasing the almighty
dollar to the grave. A most consp!cu-
Gus Illustration Of wealth In old age IS
EnGland's aged queen. She is not
only the richest sovereign that has ever
occupied the English throne, but prob
ably the most economical and thrifty.
She Is said to have massed a private
fortune OF s5o,oOo.0o0. much of which
has been heaped up during the last NJ
teen years.
Perhaps the most interesting feature
Of the royal pile" is that some SIS ,000,-

large holdings Of real estate In New
York City, and to have made extensive
investments In American securities. She
practices rigid economy, Us everybody
knows who has visited her court.

suade the people Of this country to give
up the real and substantial prosperity
which they are enjoying now under Nc
Kinley and protection for the sake of
the much greater prosperity which he
assures them would follow upon his

he promises exiats only in the shadows

hardly been a success so far, and the

McK,nlsv,a Administration.

President McKinlcy'o administration
OF the affairs OF the country has been
remarkably successful, notwithstanding
he was confronted with the most try
ing and perplexing problems a PresI-
deEt was ever called upon to face. From
the day Of his Inauguration to the pres
ent time he has COMPOUNDED his enemies
and constantly surprised his friends.
Anyone who heard the Hon. Charles
Emory Smiths glowing tribute to Mr..
McIfinley's character last Thursday
evening. in this city, cannot help but
endorse the foregoing statement. In
his character as the chief executive OF
the nation he has carried Out every
pledge Of the Republican platform OF
1896. He has secured the passage OF
an equitable tariff law. He has re-es-
tabllshed the principles Of reciprocity,
and made an earnest effort to rchablll-
tate the merchant marine. He has had
the monetary standard fixed. He has
maintained the gold reserve. He has
strengthened the credit OF the nation,
as the sale Of bonds bearing per cent
will testify. He has made the word
American mean more all over the world
than 1t ever meant before. He has
caused the nag to be hauled up instead
OF down. It is now respected in every
land, on every sea. He has fought
war with foreign power. In the In
terests OF humanity. civilization and
Christianity, the results OF which have
elected the plaudIts OF all Chraten-

Bryan's Proper Place.

Mr.. Bryan has been masqueradlng
under many political standards. He
was originally a Populist. and at heart
is still one. Tie old-llne Democrats
have no faith in his Democratic pro-
LESSONS. Now comes Mr.. Eugene ".
Debs, the presidential candidate OF the
Social Democratic party, who maintains
that the proper place for the apostle OF
calamity. and evangel OF discomfort is
in the ranks Of the Socialist party.
Speaking at Cooper Union, New York
City. last Tuesday night, Mr.. Dabs said:
Bryan says he Is opposed 10 private
monopoly. Then he is opposed to pri-
vate ownership. II he is, then he is a
socialist"
But this Is not the worst thing Mr..
Bryan stands for. He represents Gro
kerism. for did he not exclaIm IL the
same hall few days before Debs spoke,
Great is Tammany. and Croker is its
prophet? Besides, he is allied with the
revolutionary forces of Altseld and
Tlllman. The American people will
never trust the presidency In the hands
OF such . man.

What Organizes are Doing.

Buffalo News: The Bryanites have
abused the full dinner pail.
They have denied that the country is
prosperous.
They will not acknowledge that work.
3ingmen are receiving higher wages than
1885. a
They scout the idea that all classes
Of workingmen find remunerative en-
ployment at this time.
They abuse the United States soldiers
and laud the Filipinos. 80
They encourage lawlessness by the
speeches OF Bryan and his leaders.
They abuse the supreme court.
They ridIcule and falsify the govern.
ment Of the United States.
They encourage the disfranchisement
of southern negroes.
They have aided the, trusts by chelr
silence and failure TO legislate against
them.
They advocate revolutionary proceed
ings In the conduct Of elections.
They favor force at polls.
They misrepresent all the issues.
They have lost confidence In the peo-
pie and run the election by the money
power Of Tammany.

what Protection Has Done.

Free silver is not the only danger that
turks behind Bryan, but free trade. II
there Is any one thing more than an
other that the Democracy is pledged
to 1t is low and destructive tarifr-in
effect, free trade. While the Wilson
German bill was pending in the house
OF representatives in 1894, William Jen-
nings Bryan, then q member of Con-
grcss from Nebraska, advocating the
passage of that measure said:
"What 7 denounce Is Protective
Tariff. tbs false economy and the
most vicious political principle that
has ever cursed this country"
The effects of the bill, which Bryan
advocated and voted for have never
been more truthfully portrayed than by
President Gompers OF the American
Federation of Labor, who. speaking OF
the industrial depression in 1893 and
1897, the first and last years of the
Cleveland administration, and lis revi-
val under Mckinley in 1899, has said:
Since August Of this year, 1899 VIC have
been In the greatest industrial depression
this country has ever experienced It Is
no exaGSeration 10 say that more than g.
Co., 900 of our fellow-toilers throughout the
country are without employment and have
been SO since the time named"
THAT terrible period for the wage-earn-
ers OF this country which began in 1888
and which has left, behind II such a record
OF horror. hunger and misery practically
Wages had been steadily forced down from
1888 till towards the end OF 1896, and It was
variously estimated that between two
million and two and n half million wage
earners were unemployed.
The revival OF Industry which We have
witnessed within the past year QS99) Is
one Tor general conEratulntiOn. and II
should be our purpose to endcavor to pro-
long this era OF more general employment
and Industrial activity"
Docs the man who tolls and delves
wish to return to those days? II he
does he will vote for Bryan. but before
he does let him read the record of the
Republican party.
During the last fiscal year the exports
OF manufactured products OF the Uni
ted States exceeded In value those of
any previous year; they were, In fact.
almost double what they had been IN
any other year Products OF Ameri-
can factories TO the val.c OF about $780,
100000 were sent abroad last year, and
at least 40 per cent OF that sum was
represented by wages paid to American
workingmen engaged in the production
Of that great volume OF foreign COM
merce. THIS MEANS THAT sl72.ooO,-
600 OF FOREIGN GOLD RECEIVED
IN PAYMENT FOR THESE MANU-
FAcTURED PRODUCTS HAS GONE
INTO THE POCKETS OF AMERICAN
WoRKINGMEN.
Knowing these things to be true. how
Ia 1t possible for the workinsman to
virtually commit har-kari by voting for
Bryan? We do not think no will do SO.

from those OF two and half centuries
ago. and, most Of all. that It make suit
able change Of accent and give the
right proportion between the sovereign
ty and fatherhood Of Goo, thus more
fully setting forth Gods love for sin
