A Photograph Of Forrest.
RecoIlections Of the Days Before
Films Were Invented.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: A meet
ing with Edwin Forrest is one Of my
boyhood memories. The Anthony Photo
graph Company on Broadway were the
first to introduce stereopticon pictures to
tho general public. Their gallery in
consequence became a meeting place for
many of the celebrities Of the day.
One day cousin OF mine who was
in their employ sent me word that
picture OF Ned Forrest had been taken,
and as he knew that I was anxious
to have good picture of my favorite
actor he said he had a pleasant sur
prise In store for me. On receipt of the
notice I hurried down to the gallery
The pictures had been taken by the old
process. and as they were wet and hang
ing UP to dry, Of course couldn't see
them. A word of explanation just now
is necessary.
The old time photographer had his
troubles In preparing plates for taking
pictures. To-day the expressman comes
to the door, delivers a package. gets a
receipt and drives of. The boss opens
the bundle and finds inside the albumen
films ready for immediate use. But in
the old days the albumen came by
another route.
The first workman down in the morn
ing was sent to the nearest grocery
store to get q box of eggs. The box
was placed on a table and all hands
got busy cracking the shells and sep
arating the yollcs. which they put In
one bowl. while tho albumen or whites
went into another bowl A certain
amount OF water was added to the
whites and a spoon was used to give
II thorough mixing UP. The films were
then placed in the mixture to soak for
while, then one by one were care
fully taken out and hung up on frame
to drain and dry.
My cousin told mo It would take
another week to finish the pictures. and
I would have to come down again.
He gave me a slip with list Of names
on. Take this homo with you" he
said, "look II over and mark Off the
ones you want Wait q minute," he
added; then he turned and came back
with covered tin In his hand. which
he gave ma You see." he said. "when
tho eggs are sorted the yolks are given
to the boys This is my share. Now
you and the kids may have custard pies
all next week."
/ thanked him rs carno away. The
following Saturday I went down again
and picked out a dozen pictures. It was
about o'clock when got through and
started for home. I walked down the
long hall and had just reached the front
door when whom should I see passing
the place but Ned Forrest himself.
dressed in the pepper and salt suit he
wore when his picture was taken.
While the excitement Of looking at
the pictures had stirred my emotions
deeply. the proximity OF this great man
did IL moro. With the forwardness Of
boy Of IL / called after him Hey.
Ned Forrest. know YOU" He stopped
In his walk, and I shall never forget
how his black eyes flashed as he gased
at me while I continued "And I've got
your picture. too
The incident must have struck him
humorously. for his frown relaxed as
he came close TO me and asked what I
meant. showed him the pictures and
we had q friendly chat w. II. b.

Remington's Accuracy.
Fear Of Error Prevented Him From
Seeing 1.-THE Round Up."

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: The an
ecdote OF Frederic Remington in "E.
w. T.'s' letter prompts me to remark
that IL there was any attribute which
dominated Remington's wonderful per-
sonality 1t was his elemental honesty.
Meeting him In New York one day
he said to me. John. I'd like to 60 and
see Maclyn Arbuckle In The Round
Up" Whereupon I suggested that we
secure tickets and see 1t together. NO."
said Remington, II don't dare, and I'll
tell you why. You see. these stage fx-
ms are not always right. l have firmly
fixed In my mind the proper accoutre-
ment for man. beast and Injun OF our
Western frontier. II I'd go to that play
there might be something out of place in
the stage picture which ! would carry
away and put on my canvas, and l
don't dare to take the risk"
He had no reverence for or fear OF
art critics save two. himself and his de-
voted wife. J. c. II.

PremOnition.

He can esteem the stars, for he is wise
Delicate moonlight is not lost on him.
When the lakes tranquil shores are still
and dim.
Beauty Is not unnoticed by his eyes.
The face so close to him. the cadenced
sighs,
Are not utilities. He cares. but knows
That loves unmeasured. unrestricted
Can shatter any ono below tho skies.
From what he has observed Of lakes and
stars
He knows that they can be too beautiful.
And shining nights are direr than the
dull.
For clear rememberings are bitter wars.
And so he feels, with all short costa
sies,
Troublous forebodings Of the memories.

Spain in America.

For many years after the emanci-
patton Of the former Spanish colonies
In America 1t was fashionable in the
new republics to denounce all things
emanating from Spain. The violent
deeds OF medieval minded conquis-
tadores were recalled ON every pos
sible occasion to infiame passions en-
gendered by the wars of indepen-
dence. Time has healed most of
these wounds, however; now only be-
nevolent features of Spanish rule are
usually remembered.
In recent years the policy of Spain
toward its former dependencies has
been consistently conciliatory. No
opportunity has been neglected to i'm
press upon the Spanish American
peoples the common heritage Of Ian
guage, customs and other racial char
acteristics, Notwithstanding the diff
ferences which have arisen through
varying environments and the admix-
ture of aboriginal elements. Spanish
professors, statesmen, journalists and
business men have succeeded In re-
viving the cult Of the mother country
until the doctrine of Pan-Hispanism
is now well recognized rival of
Pan-Americanism.
Thus far the movement Is mainly
intellectual and idealistic. Spanish
American students are being encour-
aged by attractive fellowships to seek
their education In the old universities
Of Spain. A recent royal decree has
assigned a number of such fellowships
to each of the Latin American re-
publics. with the exception Of Portu
guese speaking Brazil. Scholarly So
cieties In South and Central America
maintain close relations with similar
organizations In the Peninsula, and
Pan-Hispanic congresses Of various
kinds are frequently promoted by the
Spanish Government The anniver-
sary Of the discovery of America has
for several years been celebrated by
all the Spanish speaking countries as
the feast day of the Spanish race.
Still another instance Of Spain's
friendly advances toward the Latin
republics may be seen in the widely
discussed announcement that King
ALFONSO is desirous Of making a visit
to America during the present year.
The announcement of the possibility
Of such visit has aroused great en-
thusiasm throughout Spanish America.
The timing Of the royal tour In the
present year would permit the SOW
ereign to witness some of the celebra
tons which will be held by number
of the republics In honor OF cenren-
malls OF their independence.
Far from begrudging Spain further
progress toward a better understand
ing with our neighbors to the south
the people Of the United States would
follow with friendly interest the
course of the royal visitor and would
be disappointed IL his itinerary did
not also include our own country,
where there IL still SO much to remind
us Of the important part played by
Spain In the pioneer development OF
this continent.

Help for Liberty Bonds.
Objections to the Thompson Plan Of
Adjusting the Interest Rate.

To THE New York HERALD: Tho So
called Thompson plan to raise the rate
OF interest on Liberty bonds to prevail
ing interest levels and TO adjust 1t at
various times would not accomplish the
desired result The plan itself Is not
new; the British consols have no fixed
rate of interest, and even so the rate has
been rarely changed.
Certain economic laws are ignored
when such a proposal is suggested; the
law of supply and demand 10 inexorable
and has no favorites. not even Liberty
bonds. The fact that people were told
certain things regarding the marketable
ity at par OF these bonds is another mat
ter. We all would like to make good
on this troublesome but under present
conditions unfulHllable promise. Nothing
in this world OF ours has flxed value.
or rather q dead centre value.
Liberty bonds declined because OF the
quantity issued; we have not as yet
digested them properly. and to raise the
interest rate viii not change the eitua-
tion. Increased earnings and savings
and a reduction OF the amount Issued.
and this only. will do the trick. II .
motor car company should build twin
skies in the same quantity as fiivvers.
then the twin sixes would sell at a dis
count. because not enough people could
digest the supply at the price.
The Government must OF necessity
compete for capital with other users of
capital and to try to give the Govern
rnent theoretical advantage by a higher
rate would mean that a vast amount of
capital now invested In companies of
producing and wealth increasing indus
tries would be diverted TO non-productive
Government securities.
This would also automatically reduce
in value all other securities and seriously
affect the soundness OF our savings
banks. life insurance companies. &C..
which now hold the bulk of long term
lower interest bearing securities. Far
better we take our loss in Its present
form than 20 jeopardize our entire fnan-
cial structure.
To make Government securities more
attractive the Government must by good
management reduce expenditures and
generously decrease existing loans as
we'll as taxes. Business as we'll as the
Government will pay the rate Of interest
prescribed by conditions--supply and de-
mand-and not by set rates While the
Federal Reserve Bank Gets certain in
forest rs:eD. II does not necessarily fol-
lew that you can borrow at that rate
commercially. To raise the rate would
greatly increase the cost Of living. az
industry would have 10 pay still higher
rate, increasing prices all along the line
and the consumer bearing the burden.
The rates OF foreign exchange reflect
conditions. and just 10 do the prices Of
Liberty bonds reflect a condition and
not theory.
Our national assets alone will not de-
termine the price OF Liberty bonds, but
the manner in which we keep house and
tho amount we reduce our liabilities
must ever be the determining factor.
