FREAK PHOTOGRAPHY. Unique Pictare Produced in Engiand by Means of a Device Called the “Duplicator.” This is not a picture of a two-headed man or of a modern Janus, but is merely a clever photographic fake that has just been published in the London Tatler. The picture in all probability was made “by means of what is called a duplicator. This in- strument consists of an attachment fitting on the front of the lens, by which one-half of the light is cut off, so that only half of the plate is ex- posed. To make the picture the fig- ure is focused in the ordinary way. The duplicator is placed on the lens and an exposure made with the face turned in one direction. If the plate were now developed we would have a vieture of the. men cut along the ling of the vest, but instead we reverse the duplicator and gé¥ the sitter to turn his head the other way, and make a second exposure. We then get the other half of the man’s body and the new view of his face. The plate is developed and printed in the or- dinary way. The little instruments can be bought at any supply store for 25 cents. AMERICA MUST RULE. W. T. Stead, in His Review of Re- MR. L.

Streeter, who has a pastorate in a Vermont village near the town of Rox- bury, Vt., preached in Emmanuel church, at Springfield, Mass., in the hope of receiving a call to the vacant pastorate. He told the parishioners that he had a minister friend in Ver- mont who was anxious to marry that he might carry on his pastoral work more successfully. This clergyman friend, he said, was getting well along in yea n fact, was nearly 60, and he felt his loneliness. He asked if there was not in Em- manuel church a woman who would be a suitable helpmate for his friend. The parishioners suggested M Nel- lie Lard, 40 and fair, and an earnest church worker, as just the kind of wife a clergyman should have. Acting upon this suggestion, says the New York Journal, Re Mr. Streeter sent Miss Lard's name to Rev. William P. Squires, of Roxbury, Vt. A correspondence was begun and took such a favorable turn that Rey. | Mr. Squires came to visit Miss Lard. Last Sunday Miss Lard applied for }a letter from the church to the one in Roxbury and explained to her friends that she was to be married, secret. The wedding took place in Miss Lard’s home after a courtship of less than two weeks. Bears Six Kinds of Fruit.

DIRTY METHODS BEING RESORTED TO PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT DISGUSTED. Private Letters Offered for Sale by a Professional Man and A Negre Mason. One, if not the meanest method has been resorted to by what some people would call representative negroes to have ;President Roosevelijto remove from office, H. P. Cheatham. The applicant for the office is a negro politician from the staie of Missouri who imagines that his political work in his State entitles him to recognition from tbe present administration. Week ly meetings have been held in a rented. room in the Hotel Brunswick, 235 Pennsylvania ave. These meeting have been attended bya local newspaper man, and several other in.erlopers from states where they have lost their influence and a negro professional man, who has been offering personal letters forsale to the alleged applicant for the office of recorder of deeds. These letters were offered for sale at three different—prices, ranging from 300, 200 and 150 dollars. It is report- ed that the offers were all rejected b: the would be candidate. Tue Bue is in possession of a letter written by the local newspaper man to one of the friends of the would be applicant. Recorder Cheatham is a high Mason and his would be traducers are also negro masons who don’t seem to re~ ard their oaths or obligations. Presi- lent Roosevelt was visited last week by aman high up in the councils of the church and he informed the Presi- dent that he had certain charges to make against the recorder. The President told the churchman to put his charges in wriling and sign them. Up to this writing the churchman has not put the charges in writing. Presi- dent Roosevelt has informed these colored men that he did'nt intend to remove Mr. Cheatham and he is thoroughly convinced that the methods resorted to are personal and degrading and do not reflect the intelligence of well reared colored men. The Presi- dent has also informed Senator Prit— chard that Mr. Cheatham wil not be disturbed. The fight against Mr. Cheatham is. made because he refuses to remove Col, Schyer the white deputy recorder of deeds and appoint a colored man. Also the opposition is chagrined be- cause the recorder appointed ‘a Miss Noyes a white lady to succeed the sony of Bishop Arnett. Miss Noyes is the oldest clerk in the office , thoroughly competent and worthy. The} attacks have now become to be personal and the President understands it, GIGANTIC MONUMENT. It Stands on the Summit of the Bans hida Mountain, County Komorn, Hungary, The most colossal monument on the continent of Europe is that of the fab ulous Turull bird recently erected on the summit of the Banhida mountain in County Komorn, Hungary, in coms memoration of the Hungarian millen< nium, which was celebrated with im- mense patriotic enthusiasm a few years ago in all portions of the king- dom. ‘This bird, so fable says, has played an extraordinary part in the destinies of the nation. The monu- ment was actually erected by the peo- ple, even the poorest, moved to ens thusiasm by the eloquence of the pop- ular poet, contributed the copper he could ill afford to the general fund. The conception of the monument is that of the Magyar sculptor, Donath Gyula, the metals used being copper and iron. The height from the claw to the tip of the wing is 68 feet; the outspread wings are 46 feet long, and the sword of Arpad, ‘which the mon- ster bird holds in its claw, measures 40 feet.

Two men lie down facing each other. Then a rope is passed over their heads, as shown in the illustration. Two chalk lines are drawn between the contestants. The object is to draw the opponent so far that his finger tips shall be beyond the sec- ond line. This rough pastime means sore necks and bleeding ears, but it is greatly enjoyed by all beholders. The winner usually receives a cash prize, and the contest is invariably followed by dancing on “the arena where the bloody conflict was pulled,” 48 the local prints describe it- Kitchen, The most valuable kitchen in the world belongs to the shah of Persia, With its outfit of cooking utensils and North Carolina and Texas; also Hav- ana, Cuba, and Nassau, N.
