HAS FAD FOR PHOTOGRAPHS.
Thousands Of Negatives Made For
Millionaire August Belmont.

Among rich Americans perhaps
none is so fond of being photographed
as August Belmont, James r. Keene
being a close second. One New York
photographer, whose patrons are most
ly wealthy men, has made thousands
OF negatives for Mr.. Belmont in the
last few years. One Of the largest
single orderu for prints from old mega
tives ever received by this photog-
rapher came from Mr.. Belmont himself
soon after the death of his wife. 1t
included good print from every mega
tive In which Mrs. Belmont appeared.
The photographer never guessed how
many photographs he had taken for
Belmont till then; he found that they
numbered nearly thousand.

ALL WANTED NOISY CLOCKS.
Manufacturer Had to Meet Demand
Of Savages.

A clockmaker discovered that q
rival was sending out large stocks OF
cheap clocks to the heart of Africa,
and doing good business with them.
He spent large sum in making bet.
ter clocks and shipped thousands OF
them to the same market. Strange
TO say, his sales were small, although
his rival. turning out a cheap and in.
accurate timepiece, was selling all he
could make. Finally he found a key
to the mystery. Savages like noise.
The clocks made by the first exportes
had a particularly loud and aggres.
sive tick. His competitor had made
better clock, but It was almost noise.
less, and the savages would have none
OF It. The next cargo of clocks which
the maker shipped to the Guinea coast
licked louder than anything ever
heard there, and they sold like pink
lemonade at a circus.

Advices from Toxic, under date OF
August a. state that Vice Admiral
Kamimura encountered the Russian
Vladivostok squadron north of Tsu
island in the strait of Korea, and at
tackled the enemy at once. The bat
tie lasted for five hours and resulted
in a complete Japanese victory. The
Russian cruiser Rurik was sunk and
the cruisers Rossia and Gromboi fled
to the northward after having sus'
tanned serious damage. Vice Admiral
Kamimura cables the navy depart
ment that the injuries inflicted upon
his vessels were slight.
The fate of the crew of the Rurik lie
not known. 1t is presumed that many
of them were killed or drowned.
The strength of the feet under Vice
Admiral Kamimura is not known
but It is presumed that he had the
Adsuma, Idsumo, Iwate, Takashisho
and other light cruisers.
Toxic is joyous over this news, a.

/ WORLDS FAIR FAR BEYOND EXPECTATIONS s
Verdict a New York Writer Who Spent Week at the s
s Exposition at ST. Louis in July


The Worlds Fair at st. Louis is
son. Colossal, complete, cosmopoli-
tan, 1t commands the attention OF the
world as no other enterprise of the
present year. From all nations there
are pilgrims coming to this shrine,
and from all our states and territories
there is a constantly growing throng
OF visitors. United States Senators,
Governors Of States, men eminent in
science, art and letters-all express
unqualified admiration for the EXPOSE
ton and free acquiescence In the Oft
repeated statement that this Is by far
the greatest and best universal expo
sition ever held.
During July a well-known magazine
and newspaper writer from New York,
Mr.. Addison Steele, spent week at
the Worlds Fair, inspecting the
grounds, buildings and various attrac-
tions as thoroughly as was possible in
that limited period. Returning home,
Mr.. Steele published in Brooklyn

ments on the Exposition:
