The New York Herald expresses the opin-
ion that Boss Croker is on the market as
professional betting man to make money
no matter who is elected. The Herald
makes the following interesting explana-
ton of the methods of professionals like
Croker:
The Republicans in New York are now
offering 21z to /, and, under the influence
of Cookers wagers, betting men expect the
odds to go down thirty days hence to to s.
Croker bets on Bryan now at 21s to l. $780,
900 to S250,000 Thirty days hence, at the
odds of to 5, he bets on Mckinley 5000, 900
to $4,000. In case, therefore, Bryan is
elected Croker wins $780, 600 and loses $780,
600; profit $4,000. If Mckinley is elected
Croker wins 900 and loses 500, 600; profit
$4,000 Still another example showing how
Croker could hedge all his bets on Bryan
by betting on Mckinley at to and be In
a position to win practically the same
amount, no matter which candidate was
elected, is as follows:

VISIT TO H. D. HINES STUDIO.
 Some years ago H.. D. Hine, the we'll. known decorator, took up the study of photography snd fitted up . gallery on his place for his experimenting. For the last year or two he has been doing work which can hardly be excelled by any professional, both in the ueual phe. tograph line and landscspe views. The last season he has secuyed some views of local scenery, fer which he has had big sale. A New York artist who vas in his studio the other day, said that for flneness of work they could hardly be beaten. A representative of THE iBEE dropped into his studio the other day and was agreeably surp-ised and delighted with the landscape views exhibited. One of the fiuest to the scribe's mind was view of the Buck saw mill at Boardmau with the old overshot wheel. He has also . humber of very fine views on the Housaton'c. Ono taken in boat below the falls, could hardly be excelled, the cloud effect being very fine
 Another view of the river from the new bridge at Still River was fine. Mr Hine has done superior work in the photograph line, and eays he has about all he can do. WORTHY MAN BURNED OUT OF HOUSE AND HOME.
