COMING ARTISTIC MEDIUM.
The Photographic Camera In the
Hands of the Skilled Operator
En- Of the Present. }.tE

The man of equal powers, working
with camera and plate, may work out
his portrait composition almost with
out limitations SO far as his process is
concerned. 1t is evident, also, that the
rapidity with which exposures may be
made gives him a considerable advan-
tage over the painter, not merely be-
cause of the saving of time effected, but
because of the greater spontaneity Of
pose and expression which may be at
. tanned. Less hampered by the mechan-
les of his medium than the painter,
his brain has freer play, says an ac-
count in Photographic Portraiture:
the New American School," by c. Var.
nall, Abbott, in Booklovers' Magazine.
It has been urged against photog-
raphy that it falls short as an artistic
medium because Of the alleged impos-
sibility OF pictorial selection. 1t IN
claimed that the lens, as a coldly scien.
tific appliance, must perforce record all
that is before 1t, and that unnecessary
and obtrustive detail may not be elm
mated. This, however, is not the case
The advanced worker of to-day. with
the multiplicity of lenses and pro.
cesses which science has placed at His
disposal, may suppress or accentuate
detail virtually at will Thus an AL
most unlimited field is open to the
photographer of artistic feeling and
training, and there can be no question
as to the merits of his results.

Sheen That Travel.

There are said to be about 100000
migratory sheep in Spain, which travel
on occasions as much as 200 miles from
the plains to the mountains. They are
known as transhumantes, and their
march, resting places and behavior are
governed by special regulations dating
from the fourteenth century. At GER
tain times no one may travel the same
route as the sheep, which have the
right to Craze on all open and common
land on the way.

Gentlemen.-I heartily wish those
who are suffering from backache and

try Doan's Kidney Pills. AS was the
case with me. they will be more than
surprised with the results. l have been
troubled for years with my spine. I
could not lie on either side. Spinal
cramps would follow, and words could
not explain the agony which would
endure. While In these cramps could
not speak or move, but by making
great effort after the cramp had
left me could begin to speak and
move q little, but my whole back was
30 sore and lame that could not even
have my back bathed for some time.
My nerves were in q terrible state I
would rather sit up at night than go
to bed, dreading the cramps and the
terrible backaches. consulted physi-
clans, but got only little relief for the
time being. Seeing your advertisement,
my mother urged me to try Doan's
Kidney Pills. After using one box !
was better, and have ever since been
on the gain. I have no backache and
no cramps now, and feel like new
person. My nerves are better and
know my blood is purer. Words can
not express my thanks to you for what
Doan's Kidney Pills have done for me.
In my work as professional nurse
have q chance to recommend them:
and they did me SO much good that I
will do so on every possible occasion.

Not long ago John Burns, NJ p, was

Search for Radfum Minerals.

The Academy of Natural Sciences OF
Vienna has appointed a commission to
investigate the occurrence of minerals
containing radium in the Bohemian
Erzgebirge. Should this wonderful SUBJ
stance be discovered there in such
form that it can be separated at a cost
lower than that of the supply con-
trolled by the CURES, who now seem to
have monopoly of radium, the search
will prove of no small value to the
scientific world in general. While the
present supply is under the control Of
two people, it is not this fact alone
which keeps the price so high, but the
expense of the processes through which
it must pass before it is purified and
separated from all other elements and
ready for use in the laboratory.

STOCKHOLDERS REFUSES TO PAY
First National of Macon's Receiv-
er's Assessment.

Macon, Sept. 20.-It is an interesting
question as to what amount the stock
holders of the First National Bank of
Macon, which went to the wall on
May 16, will have to come across with
in order to square the Indebtedness of
the defunct institution.
1t has been generally understood
that the stockholders of a national
bank were liable for double the amount
of their stock: that is, in the case
of a failure that they lose what they
have paid in and in addition to this
as much more. The creditors Of the
First National, acting upon the belief
that the stockholders were liable for
double the amount of their stock have
made a demand on them. The receiver
has notified each of the stockholders to
hand in 100 per cent, which, II paid
would aggregate, 1t is said, not less
than 100000.
1t was generally expected that the
stockholders, as many of them as are
financially able, would have to pay the
assessment Of the receiver for this
amount, but the question raised by a
petition filed in the City Court by
attorneys representing one Of the
stockholders, is whether the stock
holders will have to meet the demand.
The petition sets forth that the de-
mand of the receiver is not in accord
ance with the provisions of the law,
providing for the obligations of stock
holders, in that the assessment must be
equal and ratable and not one for
another" 1t is claimed that in order
to pay up claims I'm full IL will be nee
essary for the receiver to make an as
sessment of only so per cent, or $780,
900, provided all of the stockholders
upon whom such demand is made pay
up. It is now set forth that whether
every stockholder pays his pro rata
share of the demand or not the law
presumes that he does and II any one
defaults II is not the loss of the other
stockholders who may have paid their
pro rata. but the loss of the creditors.
The mover of the petition sets forth

"candida" in Trenton.

Trenton, N. j., Sept. 2O-Trenton
has been attacked by candidania, the
epidemic which took possession of New

compelled Lester Lonergan, who en-
acted the role of poet, to make q
speech expressing his acknowledge
ment of the warmth of the reception.
The success of candida" surpasses
