WOES OF A CAMERA CRANK.


 All last week I was on still hunt for a man by the name of Thomas Jenkins" declared an amateur Dhotog- rapher. s.I hadn't the faintest idea who the individual was, but I was so thoroughly incensed at the uaMe that I am afraid that I would have n4ade the first unlucky bearer of that cOgno- men suffer for the race. It was this way:
 recently purchased a new style box camera which saw advertised in q magazine. I was i'll a hurry to try it, so l filled my plateholders and went down on the leyee front and made a lot of exposures, then rushed homo to develop them. The first plate was Il row of negros on some cotton bales, or should have been. but when I inn mersed the plate in the pyro Thomas l.. Jenkins popped out in nicely formed letters in a Semi-circle on the center of the plate, with no trace of negroes or cotton. 1 wondered and tried the next. It should have been q Harrison line steamer, but instead my friend 'Jen kins' again appeared. l grew madden and madder as each of the twelve negatives showed the same picture, and at the end I rushed down to the supply man and denounced him for selling me defective plates. He could not explain, so 1 went over to an oppo- sition concern and secured box of an entirely different maker. These loaded into my holders and next day made several snaps of baby that lives next door to me, and invited the fond mother into the dark room to see the image of her darling ootsie-tootsie appear on the plates. Thomas T.. Jenkins was the only result of my eff forts, and but for the presence of the lady think I would have sworn holes. in that dark room until it looked like the star chamber i'll Mammoth cave.
 sI didn't wait to try the remainder of the plates; instead I went out. took that camera and undid every screen in it's carcass and examined each of its parts minufely. Well, just inside the lens, stamped in the wood was the name had been photographing. There was defect ill the structure which al- lowed the embossed edges of the words to catch the light and photograph themselves on the sensitive plate. Jenkins is of course not the real name, but a prominent dealer might not care to have it known that he ever turned out defective goods New Or leans Times-Democrat.

President Roosevelt cast a bomb into the republican, ranks this week when he named Robert C.. Houston for the collectorship of the port of Will mington. This is the most lucrative appointment in the state of Delaware ;.nd it's control was practically essen- tial to the supremacy of J. Edward Addicks. Gas -Addicks." as he is com monly known. Addicks has exerted sufficient influence in the Delaware legislation to prevent the selection of q United States senator and has made strenuous efforts to break into the senate himself. 1t is said that his campaign has cost him not less than q million dollars. Senator Hanna has always supported his ambitions and during Mir McKinley's incumbency the administration at least refrained from taking any part in the state fight. As a result. Dr Wm H. Cooper, hold-oYer democrat, has held the col lectorship until the present time. A very cursory examination of Mir Ad dicks methods sufficed to decide the president. and, notwithstanding Han mas pleading for his millionaire friend. with whom he could doubtless sympathize, he appointed MT Houston, on the recommendation of Representa- tive Ball, the only representative Delaware now has ill congress. It is believed that the presidents action will result in the disintegration of the Addicks faction and that Delaware will hereafter have it's normal repre- sentation in congress.

IN THE GOLD FIELDS

Steam dredges costing $250,O00 are being introduced in Alaskan gold re- gions.
 An army officer has just arrived at Port Clarence, Alaska, from the inte- rior of Siberia with 254 reindeer for winter service in Alaska.
 The 1880 miles between Skagway and St. Michaels, Alaska, are covered by 600 dogs, working in relays of 25 miles in AZ days. Between White Horse and Dawson 40 horses are kept going day and night in relays.
 Dredging rivers in gold-bearing countrieA for gold has become great industry, and dredges of wonderful power and capacity are being built to dredge 60 feet below the water line and to reach 60 feet above it, along the banks. Gold seekers in all countries where gold exists, even in very small quantities. are now organizing dredg- ing companies to dredge for gold at rela lively trifing cost. Millions upon millions of gold dust are to be re- claimed in this way.

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1901.

Commissioner of Pensions Evans has issued his annual report and al- though it is a well and carefully pre- pared paper it contains some ncon- troyertible facts as to the injustice that is being done to the people of the United States by the present pension laws. Commissioner Evans very fear lessly denounces the pension attorneys, of whom the number is twenty thous- and, notwithstanding the fact that only the succession of MT Roosevelt saved from them his official scalp. He points out that the present law en- courages ''an army of attorneys, salic- it0rs and dummers, practically licensed by the government. with the promise of $25 for each claim allowed" And he goes on to say that ''No blame or criticism should be attached to the soldiers who are importuned and per suaded that it is their duty to file claims whether disabled or not" Although the Civil war lasted four years and the casualties were frightful and the Spanish war lasted four months and the casualties were com paratively few, three years after the Spanish war twenty per cent of the soldiers engaged have filed claims for pensions, while in 1872, seven years after the close of the Civil war, only six per cent had done so.

DOG. AND LOCOMOTIVE.

Passengers on the noon train on Sum- day on the Boston and Providence road were quietly interested in a pointer dog. The canine would not violate the rules which forbid passengers to stand on the platform, and he was too modest to enter the passenger car, which was crowded, principally with ladies. His master was in dilemma, and before he had time to resolve what to do the train started, and so did the dog. The locomotive whistle screeched and the dog yelped in defi- ance as the race began. At times the ambitious animal would be ahead of the engine, and then would fall be- hind. Every window in the train had q head or two peering out watching the race, and all sympathized with the dog. He seemed to realize that he was an object of interest, as he would make an occasional burst and show terrific speed. Between the Heath street sta ton and Boylston the Stony brook runs under the railway, and the bridge is not planked. The pointer went pell- mell between the guards and down into the stream. But he as suddenly emerged and gained the track, and reached Boylston just as the train stopped. Had it been any other day than Sunday the dog would have been saluted with hearty cheers by the la- dies and gentlemen whose interest he excited. As it was. he gave three yelps for himself and almost upset his master. so glad was he at meeting him on terra firma.--Boston Times.

ABOUT POSTAGE STAMPS.

There is some talk of another new issue of Italian stamps to bear the pie ture of the popular Queen Helena.
 Victoria, Australia, has issued one penny stamp of the 1887 type, printed in olive. The stamp first appeared in June and was available for postal pur- poses until the end of the month, at which time it became revenue stamp pure and simple.
 According to Australian philatelic papers definite stamps for the confed- eration are out of sight-so far out of sight that they may not appear for and speculation alternatively stimu- lated and depressed.
 The fame of the inverted Pan-Amer- ican stamps is surprisingly great among people who never before gave a thought to the philatelic value of stamps. This interest augurs we'll for an increase in the ranks of the deyotees of the collection hobby.
 A stamp which will prove good prop erty and is seldom advertised is the five-cent triangular 1894 issue of Li- beria, surcharged o. s. Itis cataiogued at 12 cents sinperforate and 10 cents rouletted. The wholesale price is 1251s cents each for either variety.
 News from South America is encour- aging for the collectors. A new stamp has appeared from Venezuela Two provisionals have been received from Cartagena, Colombia. The activity of the insurgents increases the probab bill ity of other provisional issues from this country. If the confidence of the insurgent leaders is we'll founded, a new government may be established and a flood of new issues follow.

Steel Trust to Absorb Another Plant

SfeeI
 TROY, N. Y., Nov. 11.-Negotlatlons are being carried on by J. P1erpont Morgan whereby it is expected that the Breaker island plant of the Troy Steel company will soon be absorbed by the United States Steel corporation. The plant, which is the largest in the state, has been idle for five years and is now in the hands of a receiver. At one time it employed over 5000 men. During the past summer the buildings and fur naces have been repaired at q large ex- 1nnndifure

A NEW STEP.

IT looks very much as if the dispen-
sary system of liquor selling, which was
tried in South Carolina, is to be adopt
ed here, There have been various
method Of meeting the drink traffic
from the prohibition to the several sys-
TENS which are expected to check it.
One wing of the temperance party ad-
-4Uocates the complete prohibition Of the
sale Of all Intoxicating drink, Another
wing of the temperance party considers
that such a measure is unwise, and
tries to meet the situation with systems
which will serve more or less as
check.
In these columns, and in the columns
of the Gazette of couple of decades
ago, these questions have been discuss
ed and their bearing shown. One form
suggested outside of the dispensary or
the Gothenburg, or the entire prohibit
ton, is the local option. To many peo-
pie the latter appeals more strongly
than any of the others
1t is curious, however to find among
1he arguments used in favor of the dis
TEN, that either will pay the taxes of
the country. The temperance advocate
of this class is apparently willing and
Hopeful of putting the whole burden of
taxation upon the man who drinks. To
him it is a tax escaping plan. The out
and out prohibitionist is far more hon
est. He says that he will prevent the
sale by law and draw no revenue from
what he objects to. The local optionist
is left to himself. If he wants revenue
from the drink traffic he can get it. If
he is satisfied he can get along with
out it, he can close out all his saloons.
The danger of any of these laws is
the impetus that they give to Illicit SELL
ing, and in this country to the produc-
ton of extremely noxious Intoxicating
compounds. We have known our peo-
the present conditions. They are more
than likely to be injured still more by
the same and other noxious fluids under
proposed future conditions.
However The Star is by no means
averse to the experiment being tried.
1t may prove somewhat costly, but it
may be the means of great good. We
do not know what may be the result
Until it is fairly tried no one can say
well or ill. 1t will be a pure expert
ment upon curious population. Every
one must wish well to the experiment.

THE CHINESE.

The status of Chinese citizens under
the Republic and of Chinese born in
the Territory of Hawaii has been final
ly settled. They are citizens of the
United States and are entitled to all
the privileges and immunities which
are the attributes of that citizenship.
The position of Chinese naturalized
under the monarchy, or born on the
Islands during the monarchy or the
Republic was peculiarly illogical. They
were not Chinese citizens, and they
were not American citizens. They were
neither flesh nor fowl. The inspectors
of election, however, allowed their
citizenship, and a number of Chinese
voted at the last election. But such a
recognition was by no means enough.
However, the opinion of Attorney
General Griggs is final as far as the
Treasury Department goes.
During the time of the Republic no
Chinese We're naturalzed, The consti-
:. tuition of the Republic was so framed
that no Asiatic could claim the right
of demanding citizenship. 1t was prob
ably one of the cleverest moves of the
convention that adopted that document.
Who the author of the section was has
never been made known, but it most
effectually blocked the Japanese
schemes of that day, and received the
grudging appreciation of Minister Full,
who certainly thought that the govern
ment Of the day were between the horns
of a dilemma.
Before the Republic a considerable
number of Chinese became citizens, and
of course all Chinese born here were
regarded as citizens. Upon this mat
ter the Chinese here have felt very
deeply, and they win be proportionate-
ly pleased, when they find out the opin-
ion Of Attorney General Griggs. On the
Coast there is a strong prejudice
against the Chinese, but the Japanese
is a far more dangerous menace to the
working man than ever the Chinese is
1t is doubtful whether the Chinese on
the Coast is the equal of his brother on
Hawaii. The latter has always been
well treated, has had justice done, and
has been recognized as an equal where
he proved himself such. The Hawaiian
born Chinese will be pleased, at the
decision, and so viii many part

Wireless telegraphy would be boon
at this time for the owners of inter
island steamers, If the condition of the
various landings could be known. They
would be able to know to which ports
to scend their vessels. Moreover they
would be able to learn of their arrival
and departure. Just now would be a
specially opportune moment to inaugu-
rate the working of the system, which,
a year ago was looked upon as a great
boon, bntiD which now the faith of the
