The most buc Mnfat detectives in this country nre the Mwtpaper reporters. In no ether city fcr they done such geed work in this Has a in Chicago. The young giant of the west b the headquarters of sensa tional news In this country. It produces niore murder mysteries, great crimes mid Interesting "cases" than the metropolis and all its surrounding cities combined. A leek back but a few years calls te mind no end of great cases In Chicago. Besides the Annrchist nirnir, which was international In Its bearings, scores of ether crimes or mysteries have attracted attention throughout the country. Thcre was the Joe Mackln election fraud case, which involved the election of a United States senater: the Wilsen deuble nun der at Winnctka; the trial and sentence te prison of McGarigle, McDonald and several county commissioners; the sen sational escape of Mednrlgle te Canada, the midnight killing of milliouaiie Sncll, tlie Eva Mitchell mystery, the Carter di-' verce case, and last, and crlups great est of all, the assassination of Dr. Cro Cre nln. It is a saying among the newspaper men of Chicago that they nre no sooner out of ene big thing than another is ready for them. And this is true, The Anarchist trials were nobeoner ever than the unfaithful public eflicinls wure brought te the bar of justice. These trials out of the way, the Anarchists were ready for the gallows. Then ciinie the Sncll killing and the sheeting of millionaire llawaen, and after that the Carter diverce case, The very day the verdict in this case was brought in the body of Dr. Crenln was found In a sewer. The succcsssu! Chicago reporter Is mere than a newspaper man hu is n do de tective, a coroner, a policeman; he is almost a judge. Sensational wheat corners and speculative panics which shake up the whole world are among his cesiest tasks. When men or women go te Chicago te commit suicide, as thuy often de, the Chicago reporter welcomes them witli all preper hospitality and at tention. In this Crenln case the reporters have discovered about all the e idence thcre is in the hands of the authorities. It was Gallagher, of The Tribune, who dis closed the nature, Bource and slgnill slgnill cance of the legus dispatches scut out from Terente announcing Dr. Crenin's arrival there. It was another Tribune man, Sullivan, who gave te the public the facts about Alexander Sullivan's losses in the wheat market, it was Ledcrcr, the Herald uitist, who, by promptly and skillfully following up an accidental clew, discovered the bcene of the cruel killing at the Carlsen cottage. It was another Herald man who hunted among the hundicds of expie'sstnen in the city till he found the ene who drove the lead of furniture te that bloody little beuse in the suburbs. At every stage of this case the report ers have given the pelice mero informa tion than the pelice have given them, notwithstanding that all the advantages are en the sldoef the police. When n man has anything te tell hogeeii btrulght te the pelice with It. Peeple are ufinld te talk te newspaper men en such mat ters, because they disllke publicity. When the pelice were at their w,V ends for a key te the myBteiy,)f the murder of millionaire Sncll, h bright reporter worked out it cle.wwlilch the police had overlooked, anil round that the young goed-forinothlng, Tascett, was the guilty peneu. Though net gen erally known, it is a fact that thu news ..papers. ofXhicage have spent thousands of dollars trying te catch Tascett, and in all probability have been closer te him than the pelice. A Chicago re porter is new en reute for China en a Tascett mission, which may or may net justify the expectations of the news paper which is paying his expenses. What may be said te have been the beginning of icporterinl enterprise in Chicago was a similar trip abroad, made by a representative of The Daily News. The president of a Chicago sav ings bank had stolen a, large sum of money and disappeared. The News re porter shadowed him te Furepe, found him and Interviewed him. The News was then a young und btruggling jour nal, and this feat matciially hoi pod it long the highway te success. Newspapera ure mero persistent than the police. Anether representative of The News visited EurejK) wliile the An archists were lying in jail, and by shrewd maneuvering managed te interview the relatives of the accused men te ascer tain ull about their history en the ether side of the water, and even te cecure copies of letters w hlch they had written home. In this Tascett case, tee, the police appear long bince te have given up hepe of apprehending the culprit. The newspapers are still at work.

A reporter npent two months investigating a pliose of the Bnell mystery which had been neglect ed, end obtained information which would have created a great sensation if published. Uut as it was information which pexibly could net be substantiated la court, the secret is locked in the breasts of a half dozen perssns It was a Chicago reporter, Ur. Chapin, then of The Tribune, new of The Times, who performed the unprecedented feat of CCptuvmg the cele burvivcr of a Great teamsfuji disaster sad e; running hU prisoner away out of ihe reach of ether uewsjiaper men. A passenger steamer was lest near Milwaukee. At first it was supposed ull en beard had perished, but after the Inpse of two days one man was picked up and taken nshere. Chapin chartered a tug und took this man te Miiwaukee and thence te Chicago and his own home, it is perhaps suorflueus te remark that the man was well caied for and thoroughly interviewed. The same Mr. Chapin was lucky enough te catch Mr. Garlgle as he landed en Cana dian seiL A dozen reporters were skir mishing all through Canada, but Chapin alone was lucky enough, or shrewd enough, te be at the right spot. When Mr. Gnrigle jumped ashore the lirst man he saw was this Chicago reporter. Wb.cn rich old Mr. Wilsen aud his wife were found beaten into jelly in their home at Winnctka, near Chicago, the police looked the ground ecr and con cluded they had another first class mys tery en their hands. Wiiilu I lie police were running around looking for clews a reporter, this Mr. Chapin, round that Nwl McKeague.u butcheref the village, had owed Mr Wilm some money; that t he hut) been the first te discover the bodies, bin that he had returned lehJa - .

Naturally concluding that McKcaguemust be the murderer, Chapin decided le confront his man with nn accusation. Though well knowing that a man who could commit a crime like this and go about his business as It noth ing had happened must be ene of the most cruel and dospcrate of criminals, the reporter faced McKcague alone, "IIe was the coolest villain I ever saw," says Mr. Clmpln, who is new a Washington correspondent. "IIe sat en the meat block In his shop, whetting a big carver en his beet leg. I had en my overcoat, with my right hand In the out side pocket grasping n revolver. " 'McKcague,' I said, 'you killed Mr. and Mrs. Wilsen.' "I expected te see him jump for me, with that knife nimed at my heart. In stead, he raised the carver, ran his thumb along the edge deliberately and without the quiver of n nerve, nnd an swered: " 'De you think se? Let's see you prov'e it" McKcague was arrested, tried and ac quitted, though thcre never was much doubt of his guilt. He led n very wicked Ilfe nftcr this, and was finally killed in n brawl out west. When necessary the Chicago reporter will take despeiate chances. Hq is net afraid te enter n nest of toughs nor te make midnight explorations of dark al leys in thu slums. He often pretends te lj nn officer, and "Hashing his star" is n repoiterial amusement. Newspapermen who de iiolice work wear st.itH under the lapels of their coats, thu pieces of silver bearing the names of their pacrs. These stars are open sesame with the pelice nt (Iren and en similar occasions. Little Charley Seymour, of The Herald, ene of the most hi illiant rejieitera in Chicago, tins arrested and mnrched te the station house two or tin ee men simply by mo me nipulurlly cxiwing his star and saying, "Cenie nleng with me." Sejmeur, Flilerl and Mcllugh, three repeiters, were lucky enough te come Uiun n man whom they Mispected of having killed Km .Mitchell. They "Hashed their stars" en him, at rested him, leek him te the station, locked him up in thu "sweat box," nnd Interviewed him te their heaita' content liefore the mail suspected they were anything hut efllccis of the law, mid !cfore thu xlice knew what was going en in their own domicile.

D.'igucrre's invention was that the Images produced by It could net le multi plied except by repetition, ns many times as copies were desired, of the costly and tedious original process. Tlie fact wes clearly epprchended by scientific nnd practical men that he had hut opened the wny te n Held of lullnlte jmselWIItles, It was net yet enough that the sunbeam should be imprisoned in the camera; it must be harnessed te the printing press. A creditable attempt In that direction was mnde by Sir W. It. Greve, who, net long nftcr the Invention of the daguer reotype, discovered u means, of etching it In the plate, with ncid, te n sufficient depth te cnable with very delicate ma nipulation pi Intlng from it, but his process was merely nn Ingenious nnd ex pensive curiosity, n failure for all prac tical purposes. Tite steps were Blew by which the pi escnt perfection of the ort was reached. Mungo 1'aten, In 1830, discovered the scnsitiicnefl of hl-chrotnate of (Kitash te light. In 1811, Fox-Teluol, of England, did the first real photography by what hu denominated the "calotype" precers, but In what would new seem a very crude wny. He mnde his negatives iien paper, which was biilwijucntly waxed and rubbed with n het Iren te tender it semi-transparent. Then he made hij positives uK)n paper ever which had been floated albumen charged with iodide of sliver. That process, or a very close approximation te it, by the wny, Is Mill In tise in Paris for the making of magic lantern "slides," nn nrt in which we new excel. Leuis Alphense Pelutcvlii In 1853 made the great Improvement of employ ing for negatives plates of glass coated with "gel.itine or ether organic matter in combination with the hl-chioinate of potash or of ammonia." Frem this point leally have sprung all the many Ingen ious, and for their respective tiv-s enoiineusly valuable, ptecesses of pro ducing phote-ielief, pliote-lithographiu and ether plates for various soils of piiutiug.

M. 1'ierre Ignace Alexis Uuudin In 18311 introduced n col cel col eodion emulsion tbj termul.i of which did net net into general use, but served ns the basl'ler a number of Imptovo Imptevo Imptove iiieii'' ft little later nnd was employed for several years thereafter. In 1801 he made a gelatlne emulsion und culled it "photegeue." Net long after Potntevin's discovery Paul Pictbch, or Vienna, found that if he coated n plate of glass with hichro hichre maticd gel.itine te a thickness three or four times as gtcat as that employed by Peinteviu, nnd when it was dry exposed It in contact with a photegraphiu livu negative, the gelatlne whciu the light acted upon it wan icitdcicd insoluble and haul, while fieut the ether p.nts, where the light had net acted, the bl-cluoiuate could leadily bu washed out, and the gelatine thuie would nliseib water und Bwell up just in piopettiunns it had been pietccled from the li;ht, giving a per fect matiix fieui which plaster casts or electrotypes could be mnde. Se delicate hut sute was the action of the light that hair teneH weie preset ved and the icpro icpre icpro ductieu of accurate iiiuted copies of the eiiglnal seemed te be, theetetieally nt least, ineiely u matter of color and im pression. In practice, however. It was found that there was a gieat deal of Im pievemcnt bttll necessaty before thu pro cess could be made commercially valua ble. One of the moderately succeseful methods tried wns that of coaling metal lateswlth asphaltum, which hatdejied under thu light and could he u moved readily by solvents from the unexposed parts, thus jiresenting u surface for etch ing. Lilted and stippled weik could lie well reproduced in that wny, but the usefulness of the process was limited. Peiutuvln produced seme geed work by coating his glass plates thinly with gelatlne and piiiitiiigfreiu them asfiem lithegiiiphiu btenes, the parts exposed te light taking ink, while these net exposed would itbseib watei nnd se repel the ink, Th.it method was greatly impteved by Albert or Munich, mainly in the inks and relleis he employed, however, and Ins process named utter linn is still the meat pet feet for eceedtngly tlue photo-mechanical work, hut with tlie drawback that it is blew and costly. Olieiuetter und Udwnids also made im provements. When news of wliat wns doing in this direction abroad reached New Vetk, .Mr. T. C Umbe familial ly, iidmitiugly and allectienately known te nearly every photographer in the United States und pretty much nil ever the world as "the Veteran" und "Daddy Koche," 6et te weik experimenting. He tried te get kjiiie such ink as was used abroad, nnd thepiice demanded for It was $13 per leuiid, quite beyond his means. When lie recovered his bteath he went away and began at the beginning by making his own Ink. After a long series of experiments he settled upon copper plates as the best for the work, nnd at the next convention of photegrapheis exhibited a piiu of photo graphs piintcd from siirh pistes, In such pel feet icnmdiit-lien of supi ih originals pieduced jy sun printing that their char acter was net loceguized until he ex plained it. Then it made a sensation, lie had beaten Europe. His process is still used hy the United States govern ment and by ceuimeieial hetitps who own it in Hest (je and Chicago, but, like all his numerous and important inven tions, it netted liiin ecaieel.v unj thing.

Te re turn te the main thread. The colledion process held its own for all photographic work as late ns 1871 and Is still used with Utter icstilts than anv ether for the making of such solid black and white iick-atlvesasaie used by photo- l engravers, tin lyies, and certain ether Bneclfloueulicalious. but in Ujo v pr men -.' . . - . - ; .. ' f 'v v. J'f- tiened Dr. It L Maddux brought out in England dry plates coated with gelatlne combined with buomlde of silver. They w ere hy no means perfect, but their de sirability was at once manifest end In cited many exiierimcnters te seek Im provements niten them. Mr. Hurgcss, of Peckham. U. Kcnnett nnd Charles Ben nett the latter as latent 1879-80 made the chief improvements In the direction of increasing the sensitiveness of the dry plates, in which such success has been eventually attained that new en expos expes expos uie for the Infinitesimal part of a sec ond is ns cifective as that of half n min ute was less than a decade nge. New dry plates nre universally used for por per por tralture, Idndscaiies, "Instantaneous" v lows, etc. When the sensitiveness of the dry plates had liecn perfected in 1880, they were still defective in tlie very Import ant particular that they would net stand the heat of our climate. At a tempera ture of 85 degs. their gelatine was liable te "frill," "blister" and even melt quite eir the plate, se that It was necessary in summer te keep them cool with ice. T. C. Koche, after n long aud disheartening scries of experiments, finally by sheer accident hit tien a gelatine coating that could net be melted elf with boiling water or even by the heat of a liunscn burner, and his discovery is in general use today, without any mero bciicllt te him than any ether of his many Inven tions from which ethers have reaped great fortunes and he nothing. About the Kama time that he madu this iuqiort iuqiert ant discovery, or perhaps n little before, Mr. Koche conceived the Idea of apply ing te paper for contact printing or ex posing In the solar camera a gelatlne emulsion similar te that employed in coating the dry plates. This was for en latgeinetils for crayon wetk. He was he successful that he produced n paper se sensitive that It could net he used in the solar camera, und had te be worked by nitillclal light te keep it tinder control. llefurunl.il go number of photographers assembled lit the Coejicr Institute he made pictuies upon it by the flash of n pinch of gun cotton. The English "pin "pin "pin tlnotype" paper, invented by Mr. Willis, was already in existence, find was ac knowledged as giving very flne results, but It wn.s slew, required the use of the solar camera (a vety costly instiument) and could net he used en dull days. Mr. Koche's discovery did uvvny with the solar camera altogether, and with his paper thu weik of cniaigcuicnt could be dene in n cellar by candle light. The luiportanceof It may easily be imagined. Dill that invention, like nil the rest, was clutched fiem the old man, who is the typical inventor par excellence In his inability te lookout fei hisewn inteicsls. T, C. Koche has had mere valuable paUntBlit photography taken out in his ti tlue than any ether iiiun in the United Slates, and has fieely given nvvny mero di.iceveiies than any ether. Indeed, It would bu eon eel te say that hu has given awny all that his rare genius nnd ability have attained, und ethers have become wealthy ou them while lie has grown old nnd peer in nil but theiegaidlu which he h held hy Iho photographic vv erld. It hi worthy of mention ns n remarka ble fact that in ull the United States and (heat llritain net an inch of paper is matle lit fei photegijiphio uses. The vveild's supply comes altogether from France nnd Oetinaity und commands n high piice. 'Ibis is something for our many American paper makers te chew upon and repieacli themselves for. it is net apparent why they should net make qulle as geed u paper of any spo spe cillu kind us (tin he produced hi Europe, And another fact that gees with it Is that only the lluest Flench and Swiss gela tine can be used. Net tin outice that is suitable for the usesef the manufacturer or photographic material is pieduced in the United States. Cannet some or the big batons of Slaughter, out in Chicago, take this hint for tlie utilization in most prelltahlu fashion of mateilal that they have in eixcess and se start another "in fant indiistiy" that will very pientptly stand upon its own feel? It is hardly worth wliile te moie than recall thu huide of various "types" that were brought out In the eat ly days of photography Pietty much every able photographer get up seme novelty of his own under a peculiar name, for which he, of course, claimed superieiity ever all ethuis, and very often the bantu pto pte cess had different names in diircreut cities. Thus "ambretypes," "ivory types," "halietypes," "melanietypes," "fetro "fetre types," etc., came into popular know ledge. They were generally icturus f i em phetugiiphy in thu direction of tliu daguerieetyps, in that they wcte singly pieduced nnd net photographic printi fiem negatives, und while the piecesses for thelr production differed in details, the general piiuciplewas the 1..11110, of under dovelepod negatives converted into positives hy epaque backing. There am new net less than 7,000 pro fessional photographer hi the United States engaged In nnd dependent mainly ttlKiii portrait taking as n business. This is, indeed, deemed a low estimate by seme of the dealers in supplies, who pio pie suiuahly have u t ight te a somewhat nu nu nu thoritative opinion.

Some of the prettiest little hats for midsummer sunshine ure illustrated in this letter, and they are of btraw of various colors, trimmed simply with ribbons, though often hats nre seen with flowers and feathers. Such nre for very full dress occasions. Fer ordinary use, ribbon trimmings are by far the most durable. The upper hat ou the left side is of white Milan braid or line Leghorn, und trimmed by a bash of rich satin or Armttru libben tied in the back iu tlat loops. This hat can be worn by a very biimll boy or a gill from "small te mid dlin'." The hat beneath Is of fancy straw, brown and white "stiipeel, and has a full hew and loops of brown nnd drab and vv hite striped ribbon en the left side) and a smooth band nreund the crown. The upper one en the right side is of blue and white stiiped straw, raced witli dark blue velvet, with a blue arm ure ribbon sash und upright bow with ends. This hat is suitable for children from 4 te 12 years old. The hat below i3 of brown straw, soft aud flexible, and the front faced with vclvcL A large Alsatian bow Is made of brown nud ecru ribbon with long ends. The Run umbrella Is made of cream colored pongee, with n border or three bands of blown ribbon sewn en ever a piece of black lace, the whele n very cf cf tcctive pattern and n durable parasol, which it needs te be for children's use. Of course, thcie nre times when it Is necessary fei a little girl te be dressed up, for instance, when 6he gees te church, when she gees te n paity or is bridesmaid te her big sister, nnd en many ether occasions, and for such an occasion n prettier, daintier little gown could net be invented than the Luta tlrcss. This i3 equally pretty in ninny materials and even colors. The model, however, wns in cream white nun's veil ing with the panels le the Kkitt uud the vest mnde of deep embroidery. The sash, culTs und rev era are nil of blush pink tiieiru lihbett. Thu sash is tied loosely ni emul the waist, partially ever the hips and brought nreund te the back where It is formed in n large bow witli long loops. Tlie design for this pretty costume can be ultcied in bome ways, ene being te emit the vest fronts of moil e and veil ings and let it all lie of embroidery. The basqtte iu the back Is quite plain and hangs loeso from the skitt and the sash is tied under it. The skiit is plaited all around. White lawn, challies, cham ber), saline, and even woolen goods, nre all adapted te this pretty diess. The little bonnet is of white ivvll, shirt cd and dimmed with rosette of narrow, pink baby ribbon, inside the peke brim, and witli bows of pink moil e ou top and strings of the same.
