A PHYSICIANS MISTAKE.
French Doctor Sought to Force Col
lection from Woman Patient,
win Had Hesults.

The odd experiences OF consul, AZ
narrated by a writer in the Boston
Transcript, illustrate in some degree
the wide range of duties which these
men perform. Americans who visit
foreign countries are often greatly
indebted TO the prompt assistance Of
their consul. Mr.. James Il. Dubois
formerly consul general at st. Gall
tells this story Of physicians mis-.
take at AK la Chapelle:
An American woman who had been
visiting at -Chapellc had EN-.
ployed n physician, The bill which
he submitted as she was about to
leave the town was SO large that she
could do no better than pay several
hundred marks on account, with the
promise that she would remit the
rest from Paris. TO this the doctor
objected, aud demanded the whole
amount Of his bill at once.
While the woman was sitting in Il
ton she was surprised by the APP.
pearauce OF the doctor, who asked
TO see her ticket. With that once in
hand, he hurried away. The unfor
tunate woman left the train and
came Straightway TO the consulate.
Complaint was Mt once lodged Mt
the police headquarters. The doctor
was arrested, tried and convicted of
theft. lie was fined 100 marks. his
name stricken from the list Of physi-

SAGE TO RETIRE.
New York Financier, 1t IL Said, Ex-
poets Soon to Drop Active
Business Cares.

Russell Sage, il was said on good au-
thority, has decided to withdraw from
active business life. 1t is reported that
he has SO arranged his business affairs
that they will not need his constant
watching and attendance. According
to the story, Mr.. Sage has contemplated
this step for some time.
Convinced that age has taken firm
grip on his iron con- titution and that
il he had not possessed the most re-
markable vitality he would have yield
ed long ago to the strain to which he
has been subjected for so many years,
Mr.. Sage has concluded to take more
rest. He had hoped to resume his fnan-
cial operations long before this time,
but Mrs. Sage and the attending physi-
clans have finally persuaded him he
must be prudent if he desires to pro-
long his life.
In the last year Mr.. Sage has so sys-
tematized his business that now it will
not need his entire attention. 1t is in
such acondition that it may be intrust-
ed to the care of others.
One of Mr.. Sage's closest friends is
Or. John =. Mum, of New York city,
who is not only his medical adviserbut
is said to have represented the aged
financier IN many of his enterprises.
The doctor has insisted that Mr.. Sage
should look more carefully to his phys
ical welfare than he has of late, and 1T
was with the greatest reluctance that
this sound advice has been accepted.

to assure decrease in state appropria-
tions and state taxation through several
years.
Mr.. Powers takes exception to the
statement frequently made that the
work on delinquent taxes in the auditor
general Office and the cost Of delin-
quent tax list publications are bur
dens, upon the whole body of taxpayers.
He who pays his taxes at the proper
time and place does not participate in
the expenditures created in connec-
ton with delinquent taxes, and further
the amount collected, as charges, in
terest and penalties on delinquent tax
accounts is greatly in excess Of the

THE FIRST CAMERA.
n Was Invented by an Italian In the
sixteenth Century.

The GENERA was invented by an Ital.
Ian named Baptista Porta, though II
was not AT first used for photograph
ing Ii was in reality merely a dark
room. into which the light was admit
ted through a little round hole In one
side. The rays OF light coming from
objects outside OF this room entered II
through this aperture and made a pic
ture on the other side OF the room glow
Ing In all the beauty and color Of ma
ture itself, but rather indlstlnct and
upside down.
This dark room was contrived by Por-
tn about the middle OF the sixteenth
century. He improved il later by plac-
ing glass lens In the aperture and
outside a mirror which received the
rays Of light and reflected them through
the lens so that that image upon the
opposite wall within was made much
brighter more distinct and In a natu-
raj or erect position This was really
the first camera obscura, an invention
which is enjoyed to the present day,
being situated often upon q hilltop,
where a picturesque country surround
Ing may be reflected through a lens
which is placed in the center of the
conical roof.
Now, our modern Photographic cam
era is merely a small comera obscura
In its simplest form. carrying lens at
one end and a ground glass screen at
the ether. 1t is however. often much
more complicated In it's construction.
