/ Among the members of the Capital
Camera Club who have been awarded high
exhibition honors in out-of-town exhibit
tions. DR.. Joseph w. Anderson holds an
enyiable reputation, and in this he is
closely followed by his wife, who has
been a very close competitor in many
exhibitions. The awards received by this
Photographic household now number some
thirty or more, and they still have a
large stock of negatives to draw from
DR.. Anderson is man OF few words and
entirely without Photographic preten-
sicns. and disclaims any deep knowledge
of the art side of photography, but never
theless there is apparent in some of his
work much OF the method of the late II.
p. Robinson, who was at the time of his
death considered the greatest exponent of
genre and landscape photography that
England had ever produced. In a recent
competition held in New York DR.. and
Mrs. Anderson secured five awards. The
contest was marked by the large number
of prints submitted from competitors from
all points of the United States. In this
contest the prints were Judged by Charles
/. Berg Rudolph Eickmeyer, jr., and
Chester A. Darling, and the fact that DR..
Anderson secured the second prize in the
genre class speaks well for the estimate
placed upon his work by this well-known
Jury.

T. foolish idea that the sale OF a print

when the question Of professional and

the Camera Club, that there were many
members who stated with pride that so

Eighteen hundred dollars a dozen is the
price received by a portrait photographer
in New York for his work, but 1t is fair
to explain that, while this is the rate,
orders for pictures in dozen lots are not
solicited. This price may seem unusual
but 1t is an indication Of a higher ap-
probation of photography. With por
traits made in dozen lots at popular
prices, the artist or the model cannot en-
tertaip a very high opinion of the work.
but with the price advanced TO $50 per
picture the work ought to be appreciated
TO such an extent that 1t will not be
cheapcned by giving a copy to all who
ask for copies. in much the same manner
that business card is handed around to
all acquaintances.

Mrs. John L. Collirs, of Brooklyn. Is
row in the city on visit to relatives
and friends. Mrs. Collins is an enthusi-
astic amateur. and her camera always
forms part of her travelling equipment
and a useful adjunct in illustrating her
magazine articles. for which she has
shown marked ability along historical
lines. In addition to her historical
sketches. which are published under the
name of Catherine Frances Cavanagh.
Mrs. Collins occasionally writes articles
of Photographic interest, and has con-
tributed not little to the interest Of the
decorative side of Photographic work in
her article entitled "Silhouettes in Black
and White in which she gives a concise
statement OF the best methods OF making
silhouettes by Photographic means. and
also illustrates the results by number of
examples of her own efforts in this enter

camera. for which he claims strong
preference. The published work Of Mr..
Scharf shows that he is by no means
handicapped by the use of cheap appa-
-atus. but that to the contrary he is an
adept in the use Of the tools which he
prefers, and is able to produce work that
ranks in the same class with the work of
Heinrich Kuhn and the work OF the Hof-
meisters. 1t will not be claimed for a
minute that the pinhole camera is suit
able for portrait work or for the photog-
raphy Of rapidly moving objects, but no
one who has carefully examined the work
of the pinhole camera will deny that in
landscape or architectural work it is far
ahead OF the work of the best lens yet
on the market.

and professionals
This is advanced ground to be oc-
cupied by suchsa noted member of the
professional ranks as Mr. Strauss, but
it shows his earnestness. and that he is
above any petty jealousy. He is simply
echoing the sentiment expressed by our
local Camera Club when they decided to
have the recent exhibition pictures Sc
lected by artists, and it is somewhat
singular coincidence that In the May issue

strong article has been published advo-

In speaking of the slides, which are all
of q peculiar interest, Br. Strohmeyer saws
that he regards one made on the Cali

whole collection. This slide represents
Mr.. Mckinley in the act of posing for his
picture for the benefit of a little girl
who is equipped with camera which was
but little more than a toy. This little
miss had been trying for some little time
to secure picture of the President with

her if she wished TO take his picture. and

ELECTRIC AND

structing of steam road from

First-We are for inviting and
giving privileges to both roads,
all roads, but exclusive privileges
TO none. That the council may be
satisfied electric roads will not
bring hardships to the steam roads
we want to recite a conversation
with the manager of a Kentucky
road. In substance it is this:
Take all you can get free of cost.
If an electric roadiasks permission
over your streets guard closely the
contract you enter into, the same
as with any other concern. They
in no way hurt the business OF
steam roads-they make business
for our roads. SO much for cleo
tric roads.
This gentleman said further l
am going East in April in the in
terest of my road. l shall urge
an extension to Mt. Sterling at
once with the view Of penetrating
the mountain section East at an
early date. An electric railway
would not be a cause for us aban-
doning such a route. We can
give name and put our people in
correst tondence with the manager
of the road referred TO, in order to
verify our statement. We do not
think we can afford to discourage
or play with any of these lines.
We need the electric road if it did
not handle a pound Of freight, for
its power to be utilized in running
