take such steps towards memorializing

deemed necessary.
Senator Zachariah Chandler, of Michi?
gan, than whom a more implacable and'
vicious enemy of the South never exist?
ed, has gone to his last account. It is not
ours to judge him, but it is to bo hoped
. that no man -will be found who can fully
take his place, for from all human appear?
ances it look3 like he was one of those
instruments of vengeance and evil which
; are sometimes sent to scourge a section !
of country by its venom and malignoty.
His life has been devoted to the produc?
tion of all the hate and discord which his
nature could engender between the two
great sections of a common country, and
so far as we recall it, has not a single act
of kindness or expression of charity to
mark an oasis in his career, which has
. been a barren desert, so far as all of the
noble and better qualities of man are
concerned. He has gone to meet Mor?
ton aad Thad. Stevens, and the universal
opinion of the better peoplo of the coun?
try will bo that a worse man could not
have been removed from this world of
ours._
THE RAID ON W. B. PARKER.
The occurrence whica our correspon?
dent from Fair Play gives an account of
.elsewhere is an outrage which should not
go unpunished, and we are glad to know
that it is condemned try the whole people
of the section in which it occurred, and
especially, that no citizens of this State
were connected with it. The assault
upon Parker in Georgia was, from all ac?
counts which we have heard, unpro?
voked and without a shadow of justLCca?
tion ; but with that we have nothing to
do. It was in another State, and it is for
the people of that State to approve or con?
demn. \ When, however, the parties so
Bur forget themselves as: tooometotbis
State to wreak out vengeance for them?
selves, and do so in as indiscriminate
-said utterly lawless manner as was done
in this case, it becomes a matter of great
consequence toour people. We cannot
afford to have the reputation and peace
of this State tampered with in any such
way. One occurrence of this kind does
the South and the Democratic party more
harm than five years of good behavior
on the part of the whole peoplo of this
State can rnaka amends for. Such pro?
ceedings must be stopped, if we expect to
have permanent peace and good govern?
ment in tho South* Wo have as a politi?
cal party promised the colored people to
place them upon an equality before the
Itew and to extend its protection to them.
Under such promises we cannot permit
outsiders to come with force and terror
into their houses and mistreat their fam?
ilies in the search for one whose life they
would take because he had defended
himself when attacked. As a political
party we are bound to put a stop to such
proceedings, but there is a higher reason
than this which demands that it shall be
stopped. That reason is because it is
wrong in itself. We hope this case will
be looked into judicially, and that people
will be taught that tho laws must be re?
spected. The great security of the citi?
zen rests in the rigid enforcement of law.
If we allow it to be trampled under foot
In one instance, it will be done in an?
other. If lawlessness is permitted to
crop out i i one direction, and go unpun?
ished, it will soon also manifest itself in
another, and ere long the law-abiding
citizen wl'I bo at the mercy of those who
do not regard the law. Such occurrences
as the one in the Fork are unfortunate,
and the sDoner an example is made to
show that they will not be tolerated, the
better it will be for the State.
the charleston canvass.
The Conrtenay wing of the Democrat?
ic party of Charleston, which embraces a
majority of the actual Democrats of the
city, met in convention last week and,
after organizing with marked discretion,
appointed a committee to confer with the
Sale wing of the party, which a view of
promoting harmony between the two
sections of the party, and securing unity
of action among all of the Democrats of
Charleston in a common fight against tho
Republicans for tho city government for
another term of two years. The spirit in
which this convention went about its
business seems admirable. It did not
stand upon technicalities, nor arrogate to
itself all of the wisdom or patriotism of
the city, but in a candid and business
liko way offered to confer with those
differing from it upon an equality with
the object of ensuring harmony, and
also proposing, if they could not agroe,
to leave their differences to disinterested
Democrats tobe from the city, or from
the State, as they might see proper.
Without considering any of the issues
that arose before this convention, or
who was right or wrong up to
that time, when the Courtenay
Democrats adopted this course they
placed themselves on secure ground, and
entitled themselves to the fullest recog
nitlon\nd confidence of every Democrat
in Charleston and in the State. Their
proposition .was a piain and unmistaka?
ble one, leaving no room for further
lack of settlement and harmony between
the two sections of the Democratic party
of Charleston, unless the Sale wing of the
party was determined to rule the party
or to split it. The following correspond?
ence shown the spirit in which Mr. Sale
and his friends treated these overtures
for a settlement of the troubles:

Wrru T. Miilzr.Esq.!
Dear Sir?I beg leave to acknowledge
tho receipt of your letter of this morn?
ing.
In reply allow me to say that tho clearly
manifested object of the Convention in
placing the resolution referred to is to
secure the unity of the Democratic party
in the city, avoiding all technical ques?
tions. I cannot BUpposO that your com?

and must therefore request that you pre?
sent them for their action. ?
As directed, I have submitted copies of
these resolutions to the Hon. W. W. Bale
and Capt. Wm. A. Courteuay, and will
probably receive their replies by this
evening. If you determine to confer
with us these replies may be then carried

Exec?Tive Committee Rooms,

Lindstedt's Hall, October 28, 1879.
At a meeting of the Executive Com?
mittee, held this evening, after the read?
ing of the communication from Mr. Din
glo and a statement from the chairman of
the correspondence, on motion Of Col. R.
D. White, it was resolved)
1st. That tho action of the chairman of
the Executive Committee of the City
Democratic party in replying personally
to the communication of Mr. G. W. Din?
gle, chairman of a committee represent?
ing, as they say, a portion of the Democ?
racy of Charleston bo, and the same is,
hereby confirmed.
2d. That this Executive Committee of
the City Democratic party regard the
overtures personally made by its chair?
man as covering the whole ground in
controversy, and deeply regretting, as
they do, the suggestions therein made by
him for the unity of the Democracy, have
not been followed up by Mr. Dingle's
committee, and no other , alternative
presenting itself, they docline to hold
further informal correspondence.
On motioa of Mr. W. P. Russell, it was
further.
Resolved, That this committee deplores
that Mr. Dingle's committee ha3 not
complied with tho suggestions of the
chairman of this committee, by conferr?
ing with the advisory board of the Sale
farty, so that this committee of the whole
lemocracy might have before it the
Sint action of all portions of the city
emocracy; and this committee feels
that they would not be warranted or jus?
tified iu entertaining propositions from
one faction of the Democracy while the
other was by them Ignored.
Resolved, That a copy of these resolu?
tions touching this correspondence be
sent to Mr. Dingle's committee, now mot
and sitting at Hibernian HalL -
Extracts from tho minutes.
J. B. Phillips, Secretary.
On An leston-, October 27, 1879.
To the H<m. W. W. Sale. :
Dear Sir?As chairman of the com?
mittee appointed under the enclosed res?
olutions, I beg respectfully to submit to
you the said resolutions, with the request
that you communicate with me in time
for the meeting of the committee, which
will take place on to-morrow (Tuesday)
evening, the 28th instant, at 7 o'clock.
Respectfully, your ob't serv't,
G. W. Dingle,
Chairman of Committee
Mayor's Office, 1
Chare lston, S. C, Oct. 28.1879. J
0. W. Dingle, Etq., Chairman of Committee :
Dear Sir?Your letter of the 27th Oc?
tober, 1879, came to hand enclosing res?
olutions of a Convention representing, as
I one of the resolutions states, a portion of
j the Democracy of Charleston.
The third resolution relates to me. It
' asks me to "lend my aid to the Democra?
cy in adopting a plan of nomination
i which will do Acceptable to all Democrats
and thus ensure unity in the party." It
I will give me pleasure to aid toe regular
Executive Committee of the City Democ?
racy elected on the first of October, 1879,
in furthering the above object
In view of my allegiance to the regular.
Democratic party of Sooth Carolina I can
recognize no organization or committee
which doe.3 not spring legitimately from
that party.
Respectfully, your ob't serv't.
W. W. Sale.
From this it will he seen that neither
Mr. Sale nor the Executive Committee of
his wing of the party were willing to
have any ? ettlement, or to treat with the
othor wing; of the party, unless they wero
admitted to bo the representatives of the
j Democracy of Charleston, which amounts
! to nothing more nor less than saying
I that if they were allowed to have their
I own way they would confer, but not
! otherwise. Upon the receipt of these
letters nothing was loft for the conver ?
tion to do but to either back down or
nominate their man. In this dilemma \
they nominated Capt. Courtonay, who
was really tho only candidate for the
office who was eligible to the nomina?
tion, according to the rules of the up
country Democracy, and wo suppose the
Charleston Democracy have the same
rule, viz: that no candidate shall be
nominated for any office who does not
first pledge himself to be governed by
the action of the party. With us the rule
is that no vote iu our primary elections
' shall be counted if cast for any candidate
who has not previously pledged to abide
? the result. Mr. Courtonay has repeated?
ly-so pledged himself, while Mr. Sale
I has always promised to abide the result
if he was nominated, but has nev,er been
jablo to let his patriotism commit him
any further. Under the circumstances
we do not see how the Democrats of
Charleston can do otherwise than sup?
port Mr. Courtenay, for ho Is the choice
of a majority of the Democratic party,
and his friends have offered everything
that was reasonable to settle tho differ?
ences iu the party. The Sale Advisory
Board have never agreed to any settle?
ment of tho dilDculty except an uncondi?
tional surrender to Sale, or that which
was equivalent to it. The following was
their proposition for settlement:
H'do.'rters Sale's Advisory Board,
Corner Kino and Liberty Sts.,
Charleson, S. C, October 31, 1879.
George D. Bryan. Esq.,
8iR?By resolutions of this board I am
instructed to communicate the following
resolutions and plan of reconciliation as
adopted by our board:
Resolved, That the secretary be instruc?
ted to send a copy of agreement (pro?
posed by his Honor Mayor Sale to this
Advisory Board at its meeting on tho
28th instant,) to George D. Bryan, Esq.
That this committee requests an answer
whether or not the party represented by
Mr. Bryan will agree to the same, so that
this board may consummate the necessa?
ry arrangements for said primaries.
plan of reconciliation.
The Advisory Board of tho Sale party
of the City Democracy will agree:
1st. That there bo a primary ordered
for the same days as tho registration of
all the voters.
2d. That there be two boxes for voting,
in near proximity to the managers of
registration; one to be conducted by the
friends of Mayor Sale, under such quali?
fications as thoy see proper; and the oth?
or by tho committee of which Mr. Georgo
D. Bryan is chairman, under such quali?
fications as thoy see proper.
3d. That one manager for Mr. Sale's
box be appointed at tho suggestion of
Mr. Bryan's committee, and one manager
i for the Bryan's,committee box by Mr.
Sale's friendB.
4th. That all the ballots are to bo]
stamped, and none counted but such as
are stamped,
5th. That each name -voting be enroll?
ed.
9th. That the ballots bo counted in
public.
7th. That each party bo at liberty, aftor
the count, to take such further action as
may be proper to further conciliation.
?Very respectfully, your ob't. serv't,
John Gonzalez,
Secretary Sale's Advisory Board.
This proposition is that each party
hare a separate box and allow all to vote
at it that they soo propor, and after tho
balloting is over, that they be at liberty
to take f?rthor stops for conciliation.
Under this arrangement Mr. Salo's
friends could allow Republicans and all
to vote, whilo Mr. Courtenay's, having
contended that none but Democrats have
the right to participate in the nomination
of Democratic candidates, could not
allow Republicans to vote, and then the
trouble would havo boell as groat or
greater than ever. It amounted to no
offer of sett lemon t, and every impartial
man in the State will see it in this light.
We havo meddled with Charleston pol?
itics because we believe it is a canvass
which foreshadows the conflict that lies
before us in 18S0 in South Carolina, and,
therefore, that the whole State is deeply
interested in tho success of pure Democ?
racy without combinations with Repub?
licans. If the Democratic party of
Charleston is defeated by disaffected
Democrats, or by combinations with Re?
publicans, it will be ominous for the
State next year. Hence, we think yet
that a sottlement of these troubles should
bo reached by submitting the mattor to
leading Democrats from different sec?
tions of the State for adjustment, not in
the interests of the candidates, but for tho
welfaro of the party and of the State. If
ft is not done, those who refuso the arbi?
tration will be justly chargeable with
whatever di3a?ter attends the result.
In our opinion the Democrats of
Charleston are now suffering for im?
proper action in the past. It is the coali?
tion of a part of tho party with Cunning?
ham some years ago which is now the
root from which this bitterness springs.
In that canvass they united with tho Re?
publicans to elect a Northern Republican
bird of passage Mayor over Gen. John A.
Wagener, a native Carolina Democrat
and gentleman. This was, in our opin?
ion, as wo then said, wrong and impoli?
tic. It was, however, at a time when the
condition of the State was different from
what it is now. The damage to be
wrought by that mistake only affeoted
the city of Charleston?now it affects the
State, and threatens to take away from
us all that w? have gained in good gov?
ernment, by splitting tho party and en?
couraging independentism, the most
dangerous enemy of our State. Since
that unfortunate canvass the Democrats
of Charleston have three times voted to?
gether, and three times have they beaten
the common enemy. In one of these
canvasses Mr. Sale was nominated for
Mayor, and all voted for him. Now it
would be unfortunate to re-open that old
scar of the Democracy. If one wing of
the party submitted to Mr. Sale's nomi?
nation in one canvass, Mr. Sale's friends J
should not refuse to submit to another i
man in the next, if ho is tho choice of a
majority of the Democrats. This is emi- i
nently a caso which should bo Bottled
amicably, and wo trust our friends in
Charleston will realize the gravity of the
occasion, and rather than imperil the
State, that thoy will submit their differ?
ences to the arbitrament ofpuro and dis?
interested Democrats, who would no
doubt satisfactorily adjust the whole case.
DEATH OF ZACK. CHANDLER.
The, Senator from Michigan, Secretary of
the Interior under Grant, Found Dead
In hia Bod at a Chicago Hotel.
Chicago, November L 1879.
Senator Zachariah Chandler, of Michi?
gan, was found dead in his bed at the
Grand Pacific Hotel this morning, He
had been speaking in Wisconsin, and last
night addressed an immense audience at
McCormack Hall, in this city, and spoke
with his usual earnestness. After the
meeting, when he and Senator Logan
and Hon. Jesse Spaulding were sitting
in his room, engaged in conversation,
Senator Chandler complained of indiges?
tion. As he had complained of the same
distressing feeblng while en route to the
city with these gentlemen, Mr. Spauld?
ing suggested that he remain over in the
city until Saturday night, but he said
that business affairs reouired his atten?
tion at home, and an order was given to
have him called in the morning at 7
o'clock. His friends then bade him good?
night and left. That is the last time the
Senator was seen alive. This morning
when tho olBco boy called him thore was
no response, and as upon a repetition of
the knock silence still prevailed, the
clerk effected an entrance through the
transom and found that the Senator was
dead.
The body was not quite cold, and the
physician who was present decided that
bis death had occurred about three hours
previous to the discovery. Tho face
looks tranquil, showing that bis death
was painless. The coronor will hold an
inquest
From a partial examination it is
thought that Mr. Chandler died of sud?
den congestion of the lungs, brought on
by a cold contracted at Janesville. ?
Washington, Novembor 1.?The fol?
lowing proclamation was issued by tho
President this afternoon:
Executive Mansion, )
November 1,1879. j
The sad intelligence of tho death of
Zachariah Chandler, late Secrotary of the
Interior, from the State of Michlgan.'has
been communicated to tho Government
and to the couutry, and in proper respect
to his memory I hereby order that the
several executive departments be closed
to public business, and their flags and
those of their dependencies throughout
the country bo displayed at half-mast on
tho day of his funeral.
R. B. Hayes.
Chicago, November 2.?The coroner's
jury hold an inquest upon tho body of
tho Hon. Zachariah Chandlor at the
Grand Pacific Hotel last night, and found
that his death took placo between mid?
night and 7 a. m., and was probably the
result of cerobral hemorrhage. The rela?
tives and friends of the deceased objected
to a thorough post-mortem examination.
Later.?The last sad offices for Senator
Chandlor wero performed at an early
hour this morning at the Grand Pacific
Hotel. Rev. David Swing officiated, and
the services were necessarily very brief,
consisting simply of prayer and reading
from tho scriptures. Tho remains wero
then escorted to the depot by three com?
panies of the First Regiment, 200 vet?
erans and a detail of cadets, together
with a large number of friends. At tho
depot a special train, with a committeo,
headed Iby ex-Governor Bagloy, was
waiting to tako tho remains to Detroit.
chandler's last speech, at mil
WAUKIB.
The one great question is, Aro wo or
aro wo not a nation ? We had the whis?
key rebellion in Pennsylvania. It was
conquered,? and wo said now we are a
nation. South Carolina robellod against
tho tariff laws of the country. Andrew
Jackson happened to bo in tho Presiden?
tial chair, and ho was informed that
South Carolina, under the leadership of
John C. Calhoun, had inaugurated a re?
bellion. Said Jackson : "Let South Car?
olina commit tho first overt act of trea?
son, and, by the Eternal, I will hang
John C. Calhoun"?and everybody in
America, including John C. Calhoun
know that ho would do it, and tho overt
act was not committed. Then wo were
sure we had a government.
When the rebels surrendered at Appo
mattox they surrendered to a govern?
ment. When they surrendered their
people and their arms they surrendered
to the government of tho United States
of America. They simply asked that
their miserable lives might be spared.
We gave them their lives, and told them
to go home and raise crops and behave
themselves, and obey the laws. They
had forfeited their property, and we re?
turned it to them. They forfeited their
citizenship, and we restored It to them.
We killed the fatted calf, and invited
them to the feast, and they grandly in?
formed ?s that they had always oWnfid
that calf and were not thankful for it.
By the laws of war1 and of nations they
were in right bound to pay all expenses
of the war and of too nation. They Wore
in all justice bound to pay-the cost of the
rebellion, but wo forgave them with a
magnanimity unknown to tho nations of
the earth, we made a mistake, but tho
greatest mistake wo ever i?ado was in
not hanging enough of those rebels to
make treason forever odious. [Great ap?
plause.] i go back to tho Senate and fvel
that I havo had a Rip Van Wjinkle sleep.
The same conditions that existed twenty
years ago are thero now. Then they
saidi
Do as wo Want you to do or wo will
shoot your government to deitli.
Now tho snmo porsons say:
Fail to obey our demands and we will
starve your government to death.
Those ?r? the men who surrendered at
Appomattox, yet who fi?w hold a ma?
jority in both houses of tho government
Thirty-six Representatives from South?
ern States hold seats in Congress to-day
without a shadow of right. They are
there in violation of law. This state of
things ought not to be. It must not bo.
It shall not be. [Great applause.]?
Twelve Sonatora occupy their seats by
fraud and violence, by shot-guns and
tissue ballots, yet, by a" majority thus ob?
tained, they propose to rule this govern?
ment precisely ?s they did twenty years
ago. Tho Democratic party occupies pre?
cisely the same position It did in 1837
and 1860. Then they were crowding the
animal off tho brldgo; now they are do?
ing the snmo thing, and Maine, Ohio and
all the States show the inevitable results.
The Abbeville Fair.?A correspon?
dent of the Charleston News and Courier,
writing about the Abbeville County Fair
unde ? dato of October 30, says: Tho ex?
hibition itself, while an excellent one in
tho matter of quality, so far as it went,
lackod tho quantity and diversity which
only proceeds from general and hearty
interest* For somo reason the people of
tho county do not seem to have extended
tho encouragement which tho enteiprisie
certainly deserves. On the first day the
attendance was decidedly slim, but yes?
terday showed a vast improvement in
that respect, and a very large crowd was
present. Tills was doubt less Attribut able
in a largo meosuro to the expected pres?
ence of Senator Hampton, who, however,
did not appear, having missed one of his
connections, Evorybody was disap?
pointed, and some of those who had come
twenty or thirty miles to see him were
evidently "mad as tucker," particular';^
thoso who had, with rare fontsight,
scrambling and pushing, secured front
seats close to where tho speaking was
expected to be, and held them during
long hours. Senator Hampton promises
to bo here to-day, and thero will doubt?
less be another large crowd. We are also
expecting a three hours' go as you please
walking match, open to colorod contest?
ants only. There have been eight entries
thus far.
Fatal Shootino.?On Wednesday last
as John Lipsey and John Mize were go?
ing home from Jonosvllle, in a wagon,
some coffee was spilled in the bottom of
the vehicle and both commenced gather?
ing it up, when an angry dispute arose
between tbom. Mize jumped from tho
wagon and ran some distance, followed
by Lipsey. Finding he would bo over?
taken, Mize turned and told Lipsey not
to come too near him or he would shoot
him. Lipsey paid no attention to the
warning, but continued to advance, curs?
ing and threatening Mize, when the lat?
ter shot him, tho ball entering the left
side of the abdomen. Lipsey died on
Friday evening and was buried on Sun?
day. Mize was arrested and is now in
jail. We understand that both men were
under tho influence of liquor at tho time.

Chester Bulletin: This section was visi?
ted with killing frosts on Friday and
Saturday nights. Every thing not ever?
green has felt the blighting effect, and
looks black and shrivelled.
? A correspondent of tho News and
Courier, writing from Tumbling.Shoals,
Laurons County, under date of October
27, says : George Scott, a negro boy, was
shot near here this morning. Ho was
sent to Ellison's store with corn to sell,
before day, by anothor colored man. On
his return, while crossing Beaver Dam
Creek, ho was fired upon bv a man on
the side of tho road. The ball wounded
him slightly on the hand and lodged in
tho thigh, and also wounded the mule
that he was riding. The mule threw
Scott off, and when he got up the man
had disappeared. He was able to walk
to the next cabin, and has vory littlo to
say about the shooting. Some of the
freodmon living near Scott have been
mis-si rip cotton out of their fields, and the
impression with the colored people is
that he was shot by one of tbem while he
was out selling the corn."
Abbeville Medium: Loud complaints
are made by some of Savannah sido far?
mers about the heavy peddling business
done in that section among the negroes
by travelling establishments, The plan?
tations are visited by the peddlers and
the negroes induced to buy big bills of
goods, paying for them in cotton and
other farm produce. They complain
that tho busiucss is growing, and want
some legislative action for their benefit
in this particular. Tho cotton shops are
also doing a good trade, and between the
travelling shows, cotton baggers and the
lion business many of the farmers will
not havo much laid by for a rainy day.
It is claimed tho law regulating tho sale
of seed cotton is not sufficient for the
Erotection of tho crops, and there should
o additional and more stringent legisla?
tion upon the subject.Up to Tuesday
morning the county treasurer had issued
four thousand fivo hundred and sixty
eight tax receipts. We were not able to
ascertain what the total collections
amounted to. There aro more than sev?
en thousand names to the tax books, and
there will bo at least fiftoon hundred de?
linquents unless the comptroller-general
authorizes the extonsion of tho time for
collecting the taxes._

To the Bondsmen of Furman
University.
ON the 20th of May loot a Circular was
issued announcing the necessity of re?
organising the University, foreshadowing
some changes, and requesting bondsmen to
release us from the obligation to furnish
further free tuition, upon specified condi?
tions. Responses to this Circular, though
favorable in nearly every case, have not
been sufficiently numerous to warrant the
Trustees in assuming the responsibility of
discontinuing the free system. It is our
purpose, therefore, to continue the plan
proposed when the bonds were 9igned.
It will occur to bondsmen, at once, that
we cannot possibly go on without their sub?
stantial support; and that necessity is now
upon us to urge most earnestly the pay?
ment of their bonds. We hope that no
stronger influence than that of appeal to
your love of the Institution will be neces?
sary to prompt you to make as large pay
mcnts as possible this Fall, and to continue
payments until your obligations are fully
discharged. Wo feel bound to accept noth?
ing as an excuse for doing less, except abso?
lute necessity. We have no word to in?
flame your hearts, if the repeated appeals
we have made do notmoveyou; and when
we shall have exhausted all the means in
our power, the responsibility will rest with
you. THOS. P. SMITH,
President pro tcm.
G. G. Wells, Secretary.
P. S.?The University opened the 15th of
September, with free tuition; and with pro?
vision, also free, for tutorial instruction to
such as may not be fully prepared for the
Collegiate Course. The expense of this
I latter arrangement is to be borne by the
Professors, without any charge against the
endowment fund.
Messrs. Murray & AIurray are our only
authorized agents for Anderson County,
through whom payments should be made.
It will save much trouble and expense if
bondsmen will call on them, without delay,
and state what they are able and willing to
do. The Treasurer will take pleasure in
furnishing any who may desire it, a full
statement of ail previous payments.
C. H. JUDSON, Treasurer.

HOW BRIGHT AND CHEERFUL
THE
GALLERY LOOKS!
THERE IS MORE PROGRESS in the
Art of Photography than any other
science known. It has been discovp :d that
a gallery painted In Orange Pea-Green Color
makes better pictures in half the Mine of
exposure than with the old orthodox blue
tint.
J. D. MAXWELL has had his Gatlcry
painted in this color, and it is a "IVonder
ful Improvement. CA FT. WREN
is a practical Photogropher, studies his pro?
fession and keeps up with the times.
With the finest Instruments and Chemi?
cals, together with this last improvement,
we guarantee pictures second to none made

Every lady in the land should have the Great Steam Cooker. Money could not induce
