Like all artists out of Italy or France, Cruikshank had dire distresses to encoun- ter in his beginnings. For years he barely existed by hap-hazard work for cheap pub lcations: this was when he was in his early teens. His first impression was made in the illustrations of the Nelson funeral. which were soon ran up to high price by connoisseurs His next hit was represen- tation of the types that gathered about Covent Garden theater when the public protesed against the increase of price fixed by the princely Kembe and kept the con- test up for month before the great actor submitted-not a week as 1 was made to say the other day For years every song sung in the London concert halls was illus trated by Cruikshank; these with child ren's books, kept him remuneratively occu- pied until the trial of Queen Caroline, when he captivated the town by satires on the prosecutors of the royal victim, which made him a potent factor in the Journalism of the day.

LEADERS ARE OFF
 FOR PHILADELPHIA Alabama Fight Comes Up Before
 Committee This Week.
THE CONTENOING FACTIONS
Vaughan and Bingham Will Present Their Respective Claims for Chair manship of State Executive Com
 mittee-Ad Wimbs Will Go

The factional fight in the republican par ty in Alabama will be taken up by the national committee this week in Philadel-
 phia The leaders of the two factions and their principa! supporters and advisers will
 be in Philadelphia by tomorrow night, and
 when the Alabama case is called Wednes- day they will be on hand to present their respective claims.
 Most of the leaders will leave over the
 Southern for Philadelphia this morning,
 and arrive in that city tomorrow after noon William Vaughan, district attorney for the northern district of Alabama; Dr. J. w. Hughes, postmaster at Birmingham Lee J. Bryan, United States marshal for | the middle district; Charles J. Allison, clerk l of the United States court in this city and 1 other party leaders will go with MT. l Vaughan, the leader of one of the factions, | and who claims to be chairman of the reg ular republican state committee. Julian H. Bingham, collector of internal | revenue in this city, chairman of the state l committee elected by the other faction, will be accompanied by M. D. Wickersham, district attorney at Mobile; P. D. Barker, l postmaster at Mobile; United States Dis trict Attorney Warren s. Reese of Mont gomery; Postmaster J. A Bingham Of Tal-
 ladega, and others.
 Ad Wimbs, colored, of Greensboro, will go before the committee in the interest of the Vaughan delegation, but he will also make an appeal to the committee in his own behalf. He wants to be chairman of the state committee and will ask the na-
 tional committee to recognize him as such The real contest, however, will be over the settlement of the dispute between Mr. Vaughan and MT Bingham as to which shall be chairman of the state committee. Both delegations to the national convention are instrutced to vote for the renomination of President Mckinley and also to vote for an endorsement of the administration.
 Much bitterness has been engendered in the campaign in this state between the fac tions represented by MT. Vaughan and MT Bingham, and the fight before the natioanl committee will in all probability be quite heated.

CUBAN JUSTICE
Has Become Merely Matter of Dollars
 and Cents

Havana June 10-Cuban justice is rec ognized as having become merely matter of dollars and cents, and the Cuban lawyers seem to object to all reforms. For in stance the charge against Secretary Souza of the Cathedral court, who was arrested Friday night for bribery, has not been re- ferred to by any Havana paper printed in Spanish. One editor when the case was called to his attention, said he could not afford to antagonize men holding such po- sitions Even though marked money was found on Souzas person and the converse tion between him and Carlos Becarrisse, in which he said that justice cost money, was overheard by a detective whom Bacarrisse had employed at the suggestion of Governor General Wood, it is still felt that the off, cial will not be punished.
 A similar view is taken with reference to the outcome of the custom house fraud cases. The Post this morning said:
 "The relations existing between those charged with this crime and the members of the courts before which they will be tried have led the accused to brag openly that they will come out of the struggle without a scar"
 A brother of one of the accused persons is a son-in-law of the chief justice. In criminal matters about the only protection Americans and other foreigners have is the court of Captain Pitcher, police magistrate, but he has very limited power, the extent of the penalties he may enforce being ten days or ten dollars. Although Captain Pitcher may possibly have made mistakes, his court is of advantage. The principal section of Ameri- cans make is that he places too much reli- ance on what the police say. Foreigners desire to have his court abolished and the consular courts restored to give their rights due protection

DAYS OF CRUIKSHANK
The Famous Caricaturist Potent Factor
 in English Journalism

In writing of the Paris exposition, a cor respondent of the Philadelphia Bulletin says: The British section has, for exam pie, specimens of all the famous sketches of George Cruikshank, caricaturist, who was as we'll known at one time in this country as in Britain, for he illustrated the works of Dickens, and these in their day sold as much in the United States as they did in the novelists own countE'. Curink- shank was one of the most interesting art ists of the British school Singularly enough, he Spanned from the reign of George III. to that of Victoria, dying in his eighty-sixth year in 1878. Though his parents were Scotch, Cruikshank was born in London in 1792 and did all his work there. Thackeray thought him the greatest illus trator the race had ever seen He certainly did a great deal in making Dickens works the success they were. Crufkshank himself used to say that Dickens wrote the text of his stories to fit the sketches he (Cruik- shank) had drawn. He drew the figures of Fagin, The Artful Dodger, Bill Sykes and Charley Bates before Dickens had finished a chapter of "Oliver Twist" The novelist on looking over the work completely re- vised his intention, and transported Oliver from the country where he had intended to keep him to London. Cruikshank sketched the inexpressible Fagin from rascally old Jew whom he had often observed in one of the purlieus of London in his quest for sketches.
 To get the hideous picture. which every- one who read the original edition of Dick ems will recall, where Fagin sits in jail, Cruikshank made himself part model He had been racl1ing his brain for a pose that would tell the tai as Dickens outlined It. One morning sitting on his bed devising an attitude for the Jew he leaned far over with his fingers in his mouth, and as he did so caught sight of himself in the mir TOT. That's it; that's the face want" he exclaimed, and straightway drew the Fagin picture that sent cold chils down the backs of the readers of "Oliver Twist"

 Family Dispute.

 Dr. Taliaferro and Wiley Wilkins shot each other to death at Michelli, twelve miles south of here, last night
 Taliaferro was the employed physician for the Michelli mills, and Wilkins a son of the superintendent of the same estab- lishment. Taliaferro became angered be- cause another physician was called to min ister 10 the Wilkins family, and is alleged to have made remarks which caused the elder Wilkins to seek an apology. During a dispute which followed, young Wilkins came upon the scene. Taliaferro opened fire, which was returned by Wiley Wilkins and both were killed

to which, instead of pump and hose, there
will be fitted an electric dynamo sufff-
GENTLY powerful to supply two search

Chief Croker, who has perfected the

by a reporter about the details OF the
plans.

working on 1t until I think it will un-
doubtedly be a success. There is often
great difficulty in fighting fires which are
at the rear of high buildings, in narrow
and dark aileyways, for the simple rea-
son that the men can't see what they are
doing. If the fire is at night or If there
is a great deal of smoke it is just so
much the worse. Particularly In rescu-

felt.
Now, these searchlights are made so
as to be portable and Of such trifiing

NEWS WITHOUT PRINTING.
A Most Ingenious Invention in Jour-
naIism in Use in Paris.

Los Angeles Times
To give all the news without line OF
printing is the purpose of the Stereo Re-
vue the latest and most ingenious inven-
ton in journalism Three young French
men, NM Benquet, Bouffar and PIN
bert, have realized this original idea in
the following manner: From the central
office in the Rue de Provence photo
graphic reporters are sent out all over
Paris and its enyirons, as well as to the
departments and foreign countries where
anything is happening of general interest
to the public. Each ore of these report
ers is furnished with verascope or In
strument for Photographic on glass the
double negatives necessary for stereopu-
con slides. They take equally well pic
lures of street accidents, fires, races, au-
tomobile competitions, trials In court,
scenes at the theater, ETC.; and when
their supply is complete they return to
the office where the glass negatives are
retouched very skillfully and used to
make a series Of double photographs on
transparent positive films printed on
single roll which constitutes one numper
of the Stereo Revue. Every subscriber
receives a small stereoscope on the pay
ment of his first subscription, and twice
a month roll of twenty to twenty-five
pictures, which he fastens in the stereo-
scope and, by means of knob, turns be-
fore his eyes, revealing with striking real
ity scenes of which the newspaper de-
scriptions can give but a comparatively
meager suggestion.
NM. Benquet, Bouffar and Pimbert
have so far perfected this process Of re-
porting that, while In reality seated at
home with only delicate modern ma
chine before one, one needs color alone to
complete the illusion of being present at
diverting, interesting and exciting occur
rences In all parts Of the world.
The same ingenious editors have pre-
pared supplementary rolls where all the
interesting places in a journey through
the Lourain, along the Riviera in Switz
erland or elsewhere are pictured.
The Paris police have given every aid
possible to the founders of the Stereo
Revue, who are thus enabled to take pic
lures of things hitherto unphotographed,
and their subscribers, without the trouble
of reading, need only lift their eyes to
become acquainted with what Is going
on in the world. An American edition has
already been proposed.
