USE OF PHOTOGRAPHS.

at would seem that if anything on
earth belonged to a man it is ms
physiognomy, and the right to its re-
production by Photographic process OF
otherwise, 'remarked a member OF the
District bar to a Washington Star
man. Yet the difficulty that some OF
our prominent statesmen and leading
public characters have in the attempt
to remove, by legal proceedings, their
facial representations from advertise-
ments of brands Of cigars and LIQUORS.
and on the part of several laa1es 70
prevent -four dealers and other VEN
doris of merchandise from reproducing
their pretty faces on the labels OF
goods would lead to q different con-
clusion.
ut also appears odd that while the
law jealousy guards o persons good
name, or the use of his or her name
in any respect, and bestows damages
and inficts punishment upon the Of
fender, a photograph is seized upon
by anybody and used without regard
to the owners feelings or rights, I'm
less it be copyrighted, and often the
copyright is ruthlessly violated.
"While there have been some deci-
sions, it is to be hoped that q fixed
legal precedent may become firmly es,
tablished which will insure to the high
est as well as the humblest citizen
the right to place a legal embargo upon
the practice of the promiscuous use
of his features by another, but It
would appear that it is rather hard
when one is obliged to go to the ex-
pensive process of the courts to en-
force d right which ought to be en-
forced by mere verbal or written pro-
test; and this right should be extend
ed to the heirs Of adeceased person.
1.-THE practice mainly ros from the
free use of the photographs OF ac-
tors and actresses. It is to the inter-
est Of the members of the theatrical
profession to keep their features be-
fore the public as much as possible,
and they encourage the practice rath-
er than frown upon it. But to take
the features of a beautiful society
woman, or a lady in private life, and
use them on a label of merchandise,
even without her accompanying name,
or the features Of a deceased public
man, is a personal insult and little
short Of a grievous outrage.
Manufacturers Of all kinds OF
merchandise and articles, as is appar'
ent from bill posters and other
placard advertisements, use, without
conjunction or consent, the features
Of men and women, and often Their
names, to bring goods to the attention
of the public. The offensive side OF
taking a mans face and using it, eithe,
alone or with the features of Other
men, smiling in appreciation Of the
flavor Of a brand Of cigars, wines OF
liquors, is so great that it need no.

Must Wait for TheIr Money,

The Office of the state auditor is
being flooded with queries from hold
ers of wolf bounty certificates as to
when they a get the money due on
their old certificates under the de-
fciency appropriation provided by the
legislature. In regard to that matter
no money a be paid out of this fund
until after July 1, as the act was not
passed as an emergency measure, and
the fund for the payment of such
claims will not be available until after
the beginning of another fiscal year.
Nothing can be done for the holders
of these bounty certificates until after
July. 1, and they cannot hurry mat
tiers by asking for their money at this

Will Always Be Popular.

The tramp" play with the knight
of the road as the central figure will
always retain place in the hearts
of the masses. The American public
is sympathetic and they are always
ready to listen to the story of the
unfortunate, and this peculiar class
of ne'er-do. well nomads amuse and
at the same time appeal to them.
OF the numerous plays of this kind
none has achieved greater success
than Elmer Walters big scenic pro-
duction, "a Thoroughbred Tramp"
and certainly none deserved it more,
for the attraction stands without a
rival in its class. A play Astounding
with brilliant comedy situations and
breath-ho(ding dramatic climaxes,
including the escape of the tramp Oh
the baggage car and the race be-
tween a woman on horseback and a
fast flying express train, mounted
with a most elaborate scenic equip
ment, is well calculated to make a
big success in these days, when the
country is filled with mediocre at
fractions and improperly produced
