The first American account of the won
derful new process of relief photography
announced by NJ. Lippmann of Paris has
appeared in the Washington Pathfinder.
Lipplnann is the specialist who invented
the system of color photography by means
of the interference of light rays. His
relief plates require no canera lens or
plate holder. but are virtually automatic
in reproducing the object or objects to
which it is exposed in such a way that
you get a different view every time you
ooh at the picture from a different di.
~rection. just as the real object would. The
plates are formed out of two films of
collodion, which a been stamped in a
sort of microscopic ~honeycomb pattern
in such a way as to bring the depressions
exactly opposite one another and form a
sheet of very tiny globes. each one of
which is an eye or camera lens in itself.
They are so minute that there are about
$4,000 of them to the square inch. Their

MURDER FARM is A MAGNET.
Thousands Visit Scene of Slaughter

Thousands Visit Scene of Slaughter
Officials Will Push Investigation.
Lemuel barrow, mayor of Laporte,
Ind, after 4 conference with prominent
citizens, has declared thai the investi-
cation into the Guinness murder mys-
terry would be pushed with greater
vigOr. Said the mayor: 81 suspect that
more tragedies will be discovered. We
intend to push this inquiry the way it
should be pushed. There should be a
more centralized effort to solve thi
mystery.
Laporte of late has beeen a morbid
magnet. MOrgues and morticiaIs have
been the centerS of attraction which
converted the city into a show ground,
and the murder farm an exhibition
tract that would max a circus man
ager turn green with envy.
Thousands of curious persons, their
SOrdid cravings supreme, have tram
pied over the ruins gaped at the open
graves in the Guinness yard and strug-
gled to tear down the doors of the
barn where the dis~articulated skrle-
tons of the credulOus victims of Belle
Guinness blood passion and money lust
lay.
On the Sunday following the discov-
cry from dawn until darkness an alter
mating procession of humanity choked
the narrow winding thoroughfare
which leads from the town to the gore
stained scene. While %hucksters, livery
men and souvenir vendors raked in the
shekels from the gay throng of holiday
torso searchers and human Done yard
p~icnickers, b agents of the law were
continuing the serious business of at
tempting to solve the mysterious crime.
Two letters written to Mrs. Guinness
just before the fatal fire, which reach
ed the Laporte postoffice after the foul
charred bodies had been removed from
the ruins, are now in the hands OF the
authorities and some clews which may
lead to the discovery of co-conspirators
in her d~eath-luring marriage bureau
are said to have been found in them.
It is the conviction of Sheriff Shutter
that Mrs. Guinness had some one asso-
clated with her in the operation of her
marriage bureau Perhaps it was Ray
Lamphere. He is suspected. The prob
ability that 1t might have been some
one else is not, however, being over
looked.

10 Cents Excess Legal.

Monday the supreme court de
cided that it was entirely proper
for railroad company to charge
passenger without tickeu an
exta 10 cents, to be refunded at
at a ticket office. Marion Miller
offered 10 cents to Il. IL O. G,
conductor to ride from Lake View
TO Lewistown, in Logan county.
When he refused to pay the penalty
for not having a ticket, he was
elected, and sued for $1,000
damages. He lost in common
pleas court, won in circuit court
and was defeated in supreme
court. Since the case started, the
legislature has passed an act add,
ing 10 cents to the regular fare,
without refund, when 3 ticket is
not purchased.

Christmas Entertainment al
Presbyterian Church.

On last Wednesday evening, the
Presbyterian Sunday School gave
their annual Christmas entertain
ment and treat to the scholars.
Weather conditions were very fav-
orable and the church was well
filled long before the program
commenced.
"The songs of many Nations"
was sung by about fifty girls and
boys in costume The children
were we'll trained and did their
parts we'll. 1t would be hard to
single out any one song as the
most acceptable, they were all
good. The Darkys Christmas
song received the most applause.
After the musical part of the
program was over the lights were
turned down and Santa Claus ap-
peared and mingled with the chill
dren, much to their delight and
amusement. 1t was only after the
entertainment was over that the
children learned that the genial
Santa on ordinary occasions goes
by the name of Frank Stevens.
The Christmas tree was nicely de.
,orated and lighted by electricity.
Mr.. George Ford the janitor was
presented with a purse containing
eight silver dollars as a christmas

President of France Assaulted.

Paris, December %. "A sensa
tional attack on President Fallieres
by Jean MATHS, an alleged Royal
ist, threw the city into wild ex.
citement to-day. Although the
President escaped without any
other injury than scratch on the
ear in the scuffie with his assail-
ant, many wild rumors concerning
the affair were set afloat, all of
them magnifying the seriousness
of the injury.
The attack was made near the
Rue del Etoie while the President
was taking an early morning
stroll, accompanied by M. Ramon
dou, his secretary, and Colonel
Lasson, one Of the military at
taches at the Elysee,
MATHS, who apparently had been
awaiting the appearance of the
President, sprang upon him sud
denly from behind, throwing his
arms about his neck and trying to
throw him to the ground.
The President grappled with
his assallant and broke his cane in
the struggle.
Colonel Lasson and M. Ramon
dou dragged the man away and
turned him over to TWO Govern
ment detectives who had been fol-
lowing the party in order to guard
the President from any possible
attack just such as occurred.

Rich Girls Help Miners Family.

Pittsburg, Penn. Dec. 25-The
Christmas heroines in this city are
M sses Bertha and Johnetta Jones,
aged 10 and 18years, respectively,
daughters of John II Jones, owner
of the Mariana mine, which ex-
ploded several weeks ago, the
explosion killing probably 1876
miners.
Heretofore at Christmas Mr..
Jones has given each of his daugh-
ters considerable sum of money,
besides an endless number of
valuable presents. A week ago,
however, the girls told their
father they preferred not to have
him give them any presents this
year, and asked him to give them
instead the money he would spend
on the presents with the amounts
OF cash he would give them.
This money which aggregated u
considerable sum, the girls took
and spent the whole week buying
Christmas toys and gifts for the
children made fatherless by the
mine explosion. Last night q
large turkey, with all the trim
mings, went to everyone of the
stricken homes.
Yes" said Mr.. Jones tonight,
"my little girls did that, but their
joys will be spoiled if the outside
world gets to know about it"
One of Mr.. Jones' mines is
named Bertha, in honor of one of
the daughters, while Johnetta,
Penn, where he lives, is named
after the other daughter.

Tommy Burns Defeated.

Sydney, N. S. W., Dec. &c -
Jack Johnson, the colored heavy
weight, today gained the title to
the worlds championship by beat
ing Tommy Burns in ii furious
rounds. The champion was out
classed from the start. The chall-
enger carried such spirited
fusillade to his opponents body
and head that he soon had Burns
in sorry plight. The Canadian
stood up under the most vicious
punishm nj snt for 13 rounds. He
came out for the fourteenth game
as ever, but the police, realizing
that he was beaten man,
mercifully ordered the referee to
stop the contest. Hugh ID. Nc
Intosh, who promoted the battle,
unwllllngly obeyed the mandate of
the law and awarded the decision
to Johnson. While Burns was not
knocked out, Johnson will be
technically credited with such
victory. Burns could not have
possibly lasted the 90 scheduled
rounds.
