Without being 1' } ' any mentis the busiest
week of tbu social se on , even thus far ,
tlio pnr.t six days have kept the pursuers of
pleasure pretty well ocuiplcil In maintain
ing the pace- wet by tli Iftdy with the wand.
There has been no one event of such conspic
uous Importance ns to overshadow nil others ,
but the week hna been rich In smaller lunc-
tlons whlcli were entirely enjoyable to thorn'
who parUelpiUcd In them. Until Christ-
man Is well over , no fcvcrlah activity In
anticipated In society , Fair hands arc too
fully occupied in cmbioldcrlng sllppcra
nnil manufacturing various hollilay Rifts to
bo nblo to manipulate a dance pingi-nm or
pour honsliiKton tea ; nnil masculine feet
nre kept BO buHy In traveling to and from
buslucf.1 In an attempt to lay by a Christmas
fuuil that they have little time to gyrate
In the merry waltz or two-step.
After the holidays-even after Christmas
day It will be different. A number of
enterprises arc on foot , which will make
what lias gone before look small , inc
Kountzc dancliiB party and the thlril oaii
of the Monday Night eliib are two of them
which linvo already bren announced for tin-
lant week In the month.
Some complaint ! H made by you us women
who entertain a good deal that the men who
nro apparently eager to partake of thulr hoa-
pltallly do not ahow the same alacrity when
It cornea to ivpaylng the obligation by any
of the llttli ) nmcnltlM which form the current
coin of society. This charge , brought
against Omaha society men In general , la not
a now one In that connection , nor b It by any
means confined In Its application to tlio
young men of this town. There would seem
to be semi < g.-oundt for It hero , as doubtlojs
thcronro elsewhere. All men arc selfish , not
to speak of women. Young men arc cape-
clally given to regard themselves before
they consider othein. Hut when a girl has
made an untcrtalnmcnt , and Invited her
friends , male and female , to the number of
ih'ty or itovcnty-Ilve , and ghen them her
brst , nhe ought not to bo allowed to languish
at homo on the occasion of the next desirable
dancing party for want of an Invitation and
an escort ; and she oiiKht not to bo drawn
thither In a street car , either , but In a close
carriage , with duo regard to her party frock.
Porhapn no such ecso of neglect ever oc
curred In Omaha. If not. why , the cap does
Jiot fit anybody mid may bo thrown away r.
useless. If arytlilng of the kind ever did
happen donbtkfM some of thu young society
women have heard of It.

DES MOINES. Dec. 12. ( Special Tele
gram. ) The city hall scandal today reached
out and gathered In the West DCS Mollies
ccliool district , whoso directors discovered
that they had been seriously defrauded by
the operations ot members of the city hall
ring ot boodllng olllcers. Last summer the
district made a contract with II. G. Mc-
Elderry , then an alderman and one of the
ring , to supply them coal. There was se
vere criticism becaiiw the price paid was
considerably higher than that current In the
city , but no other Irregularity was known
till today. The board Investigated and found
that scale tickets had been forged to the
number of at least twenty and turned In
as vouchers for consignments of coal that
had never been delivered. They were regu
lar city scale tickets , bearing the signature
of the markotmaster. Marketmastcr Rambo
denied the signatures- , and they were proved
to be absolute forgeries. It was learned
that Alderman McKldcrry bad secured from
the city auditor , for his personal use , a book
of city scale tickets , of whose existence the
marketmastcr knew nothing , and they had
been filled out at pleasure. The school board
promptly annulled the contract , but no other
action has been taken thus far.

Photographers arc talking of reviving the
nrl uf 'Maguerreoiypy. " The love for the
old and ancient is bringing about a demand
for the old-fashioned silver-plated photo
graph , for such a daguerreotype Is , which
was the hl hc. < l type of the photograph sixty
years ago. The art now l sv > nearly obso
lete that It Is forgotten by all but n very-
few old-tliurr.u. and by a few amateurs who
have learned the art because of Its Interest
ing character. The dagufrreotype , named
after Its Inventor , the Frenchman Dagtlerro ,
was Introduced In the flrct quarter of the
present century , and It stands today an one
of themni't notable and Important Inventlimp
of the nineteenth century. In this country
the art was first practiced by Morse , the
Inventor of the telegraph , and American
l.hotographcrn Improved upon the French
methods and processes so rapidly that In a
short time the American daguerreotypes
were superior to the French.
The daguerreotype. In short , was a pho-
togr.iph upon a silver-coated copper plate.
Unlike the present photograph , each daguer
reotype wiui unique , for the photograph was
taken and developed upon the plate , some
thing like the lowly tintype. It war tlito
feature of the deguerreotype which gave It a
peculiar value , and which Is brought to the
front today as nn argument to prove that
the art should bo revived.
Tlie process was simple and qulokly learned.
TJ'o plates upcd were of hard rolh'd copper ,
plated or faced wltli pure Pllver. They were
smooth and perfectly Hat , but were not pol
ished when brought to the artist's studio ,
for to polish the plate seme time before usv
was so much lost time , because the silver
film would be oxidized before It was sensi
tized.
PHEPAU1NC1 THE 1 > LATK.
After the plate had been clipped at the
corners and the rim had been bent down
so that the edge was smooth It was well
scoured by the operator. The plate was held
In a scouring block with clips , and ( lie block
was mounted on a standard In such a way
that It could be turned In any direction.
The plate was scoured with Hue rottenstone -
stone moistened with alcohol. The abrasive
material was applied with a piece of canton
llanncl , and the plate was scoured until It
had a perfectly smooth face. Then It was
"buffed" with n straight hand-buff made
of a "board about two feet long and four
Inches wide , covered with several thicknesses
of llanncl .ind buckskin and welt coated
with "rouge. "
The buffs were kept dry by being placed
In an oven , whlcli was heated with nn al
cohol lamp. As the quality of the picture
depended upon the smoothness of the plate ,
the greatest care was taken by the operators
not to scratch the fllver face. In case some
foreign material was accidentally mixed with
the rouge and scratches were made , the
hand-buff was brushed with a stiff brush ,
and then clean and fresh rouge was put on
and the plate was buffed again until the
scratches had disappeared. Operators be
came so expert In s > courlng and bulling
plates that they seldom Injured ono In the
slightest degree.
Hand-buffs were not used all the time , for i
a rotary buffer was Introduced. After the I
plate had been prepared It was taken to the
"dark room" and "sensitized. " In thu dark
room were two boxes , one for Iodine mid tbo {
other for bromine. In each box was a
glass Jar , generally square In shape , and In
the top of the box was a slide which held
the plate while it was being acted upon by
the chemicals. In the bottom of the lodlno
jar scales of Iodine were thrown , and In the
bromine Jar quicklime charged with bromine
was placed. The I line was prepared for use
In another jar and the bromine was added
. drop by drop until the quicklime was a plnk-
1 Ish-orange color. When used the bottom of
the bromine Jar was covered with about an
Inch of the bromine-charged quicklime.
I The allver-coatcd copper plate , polished to
J a mirror-like smoothness , was first placed | f
In the slide , silver face down , of the iodine ,
box. The vapor of the Iodine quickly changed
the white face to a deep straw color. When I
sufficiently treated by the lo-llne , the plate I
was transferred to the bromine box , where i
the fumes of the bromine gave It n dark I I
orange color. '
Thuii It aKnlii was plnccil In the nllile or J
the Iodine box. and kept there until the
plate had a brown orange color bordering on
a purple. This series ot manipulations
placed a thin Him of "bromo-lodldo" of sil
ver on the plate , and thus made It sensitive
to light , and It then was ready to be placed
In the camera and exposed.
TIME OF EXPOSURE.
The expos-lire was much longer than it re
quired for the modern dry plate , and for
that reason the person who was being pho-
tograiihed was held to the chair with clamps
at the bead and back , and sometimes thu
arms and feet were rigidly held in clamps.
Amateur photographers , who develop their
o\\n negatives and print their own pictuiiM ,
will bo Interested In knowing that after
exposure the daguerreotype was developed
by the vapor of mercury.
It was held , face down , over an Iron vessel
shaped like an Inverted cone , at the bottom
of which a small quantity of pure mercury
was placed. A spirit lamp maintained a
temperature of 120 to ISO degrees , and the
plate received the full benefit of the mer
cury fumes , for it was placed over the flar
ing top of the vessel.
When the picture was "brought out" It
was fixed In a solution of hypo-sulphite of
soda , which removed all of the bromo-lodldo
of silver that had not been affected by the
llht. ; Then the plate was washed and
"toned. "
This was done by pouring on It a weak
solution of chloride of gold , and subjecting
it to the heat of an alcohol lamp until n
thin film of gold bad brcn laid over the
surface of the plate. The finished picture
icnrrally ; was preserved under a gla.sa , which
was scaled to the plato by some adlustvo
material , and the well-preserved daguerreo
types tlir-t have comn down to the present
Melioration speak well for the methods em
ployed by the artists of thu llrnt half of
the century , for. apparently , they are as
clear and distinct as they were when first
cemented In the gold frame.

liclng enthused with amateur photography
and having bad the pleasure of going through
the studio , dark rooms , etc. , and having
received my first two lessons In amateur
photography from ono of the best amateur. )
In this city , as I stated In the last Sunday
issue of The Doe , that I bad received my
flist lesson , I desire now to explain my
second , and how I got along when I went
to do the work myself. My first attempt
to make a negative by myself was a suc
cess In one sense , but In another It was
a failure. My subject was the First Pres-
byterhm church. I though , of course , that
It would be an easy matter to make a good
picture of that because It was BO large , easy
to be seen on the ground glass of my cam
era and It was such a bright day. I look
my position about -100 feet from the church
BO the steeple top was about one-quarter of
nn Inch from the bottom of my ground
glass and the bottom of the church was
an Inch from the top of the glass , thus
giving mo the proper foreground and pros
pective. In order to get all this on my
ground glass In the proper position I was
obliged to raise the frame of the camera
and also tilt Its front up considerably. The
sun wan shining at about -IS-dcgrcc angle
from the position I was In. This gave mo
plontly of high lights and shadows. I used
a OI-F stop In my lens , gave an exposure
two seconds , which , according to my Judg
ment , was about right. After having done
thtn I looked around mo and to my tmrprlso
there wax a crowd of boys and girls around
me whom I had not noticed before , being
so Interested In the subject that I wus
Highest of all in Leavening Strength. Latest U. S. Gov't Report.
photonraphlng , but after I caught my Rrc-
end wind a happy thought struck me. Hero
was a chance for mo to take another stop ,
having five more unexposed plates In my
holder * .did wishing to try my hand on
group of children. A.fler asking them they
were all too willing ; so I posed them on tbo
street corner , some on the fence , some on
( he ground , according to my best Judgment.T A-
1 found that it was Impossible to keep them \
still , so 1 decided on an exposure In a
fiftieth part of a second with F-S stop. All
this w.is done In not less than five minutes.
Then 1 prociedcd home to develop.
The result was very good. As to chtmlcal
iff ret. quality of negative , etc. The iroup ;
of children Is very good , but , ala.i. the
church. The negative Is good , but the
church looks as If It was going to fall over
luekwards. What caused this I could not
tell , but my friend enlightened me. When -
I tilted the front of the ramor.1 up I forgot
to see that the ground glass w.is vertical.
In other words. 1 forget to use the swings ,
so this I'll never forget. No matter wlmt
position your camera Is In the ground
glass must always bo vertical , otherwise the
subject will be distorted or out of proportion.
With the printing , toning and mountlno
I have been very nucccssful. Arlsto platlnc
IH the first paper I used , and It produced
n beautiful carbon cltcct. I pi luted to
dup maroon , then washed through five
changes of clean water and flattened print-
face down and toned In the following bath
until the lights were clear ; Water , 00 os. ;
borax. 5 drops ; gold , one grain or enough
to make' speed of bath eight to ten min
utes. From this I placed the print In salt
water , 1 oz. salt to 12 quarto of water , and
wash In three changes of water. Then tone
in the following ; Platinum bath water , 00
oz. ; arlsto platinum , 3 drachms. Print
should tone In this bath In ten to twelve
minutes , or print should tone In this bath
until all traces of red disappear In tbo deep
shadows. When this Is done , place In clear
water and wash In three changes and then
fix for twelve minutes in hypo luili , IS grains
strong hydrometer test and then wash In
running water for one hour , lly this pro
cess I get bCiiutlful tones.
