THE TTTTSBURG DISPATCH, SUNDAY. AUGUST 2, 1891
4 7
HL
The kodae has reached a -tato rf Imports
ance in the summer esoursion business
qual to the umbrella and the tooth brush.
It Is considered a necessary and indispensa
ble feature to every well-regulated vacation
or pleasure Jaunt. Exertion that -would
otherwise be considered burdensome, is
esteemed the height of bliss when in the inter
est of the kodac. And the person so devoid
of sentiment as to demur at a mile's walk
in the blazing sun in search of a picturesque
spot to transfer it to paper, or to prefer a
hummock and a novel to sitting on a sharp
stone beside a creek with a make-believe
Gibing rod in hand in order to be roman
tically pictured, is not considered a desira
ble addition to the tourist party.
To return to the city after a few weeks ab
sence without a score or morokodac offorts
some of them could not bo dignified by any
other name would be a flagrant disregard
of one of the most important social laws of
the recreation period.
THE BEST OF THE SEASCET.
Among the hundreds or vacation pictures
that have already returned to Pittsburg via
their owners there is one that is the envy of
nil photographers, both amateur and pro
fessional. The fortunate possessor of this
' prize is George Shiras IIL, who came from
Marquette last week, and who displays a
Sictnre of Marquette harbor during a thun
er storm, with three distinct flashes of
lightning plainlv visible It is the wonder
ox all who have" seen it. and upon the least
critical examination of the most kodae
ignorant person 7;roelaims itself a wonder
ful production. " Mr Shiras admits hav
ing had for some time nn ambition to
photograph nature in one of her violent
paslons, as continued sweetness and beauty
with it. as with persons, often become disa
greeably monotonous and nails upon the
taste, but the result of hi9 efforts in that di
rection ereceded his wildest hopes.
As good luck wonld have it he succeeded
In catching Marquette harbor in the most
pronounced electrical commotion it has ex-
Jenenced within the memory of even the
ong residents who are prone to recall some
thlni way back in the attics or sixties that
generally discounts any eccentricities of
modern "weather or elements. In the picture
mav be seen the perfect outline of the har
bor, the wild wuvrs, the lowering sky and
the dashing breakwater all by the instanta
neous flash of three distinct sheets of light
ning that in their serpentine beauty and
gracefulness arc reproduced with wonderful
realism and power
THE BEAtrTIE9 OF CANADA.
Mr. Shiras did more than observe nature
while taking his rest, as his remarks on the
Indies is the locality in wniob he sojourned
prove. In the feminine constituent were to
be found the fair Canadians 23 well as the
gay Cntted Staters, and by contrast they
lormed nn interesting study, so he Bays.
The verdict as rendered in the mind of this
gentleman, possibly by the Juror's truthful
ness, loyalty and policy, cannot but please
the Indies of the United States and the ladies
of Canada are too f jr away to make life mis
erable for the self-appointed court. But as
Mrs. Shiras and little George IV. are still
near the condemned, and Mr. Shiras must
go for them at the end of the 6caon, it is
hazardous to his well-being to publish ex
i.ctiy his opinion as handed down. There
nro," however, some modifying clauses in
the opinion admitting the kill of the Brit
ish dame in nshinc, walking, riding and
gunning.
But what are all these when it is said with
n big H that they dress horriblyl No stylo,
no lit. nothing nretty.nothing natty.nothing
Jaunty. What women on earth would care
to live after such a decision pronounced by
such an uuthorlty! If suicide of the fair sex
in the country "across the border suddenly
assumes alarming proportions will not
George Shiras III. be held responsible for ir?
And will not the enjoyment of the popular
ity he gains among his own countrywomen
by declaring that they are all in this dress
that their sisters across the line are not, bo
marred somewhat by the sorrow at the
1 e collections of thb wailing and woo he has
caused the poor unfortunates by openly
condemning their style of gowning?
trsTrorais foe the ladies.
What a very pertinent question that one
of dress in becoming by the way. It is
given prominence at the seaside, at the
mountain resorts, and at Chautauqua. In
all probability it will appear on camp meet
ing programmes in the future after the mat
ter of open or closed gates is decided. The
love for uniforms that has so long been con
sidered the special affection of the lords of
creation has Decome implanted in the fem
inine bia:t and an Ohio order of Daughters
cf Veterans, if I am cot mistaken, passed a
measure last week for its members to ear
blue cloth uniforms with brass buttons con
fci'.iir.gof skirt, waist and short coat. The
officers of the order are to bo distinguished
by gilt braid down the sleeves and on the
collars.
Apropos of mllitarv subjects, the young
gills summering m Valley Cuinp aro await
ing with ill-concealed impatienco the ad
vent of the gay young soldiers who will go
into encampment near them. And it is pos
sible that the guardhouse will have many
more occupants in the military camp on
account oi the proximity to the religious
cimp. A stroll in that lovely woodland
with a pretty maiden and a charmingly ar
ranged picnic lunch will be a great tempta
tion to the young fellows and hardly to be
resisted. Some strangers who were hero
uuring the past week and who visited Val
ley Camp went into ecstaoies over the beau
tlful scenerv and delightful country sur
itranding it, "as tney did also over Schenley.
FUTURE OF S0HEX1EY PABK.
And certainly they both deserve to be en
thused over. Schenley Park especially.
Where is there in the country a more de
l ightf ul drive than the one through the park?
It is true there are many publio gi ounds
more cultivated, but with the exception of
FairmoJnt, In Philadelphia, none that equal
in natural soenery our own- The cultiva
tion and the elegant turnouts will come with
time. Of course Pitteburg can boast of but
very lew really swell driving outfits because
hitherto there has bcennooccasion for them.
But many new ones have made their ap
pearance in the park within the last month,
and when the spirit of competition and
rivalry is thoroughly awakened on the
equipage and horse question then look out
for style and elegance.
Doubtless next season will witness a line
of driving rigs that will make that double
horc shoe one continuous curve of thorough
bred horses, atylish cans, drags, carriages
ai.d tally-ho coaches, liveried footmen and
co ichnien and handsomely costumed ladies
and gentlemen. The Hiding Academy will
increase largely the number of equestrians,
nud P:t:tburg will at least take rank in that
line with other cities of its wealth and Im
portance. Kathleen Hussey-Watson.

.An Important Decision of Jndge Coxa lnJ
Relation to Storage Batteries.
J&EVT Tobk, Aug. L The decision re
cently banded down by Judge Coze, of the
United States Circuit Court for the South-
em district of New York, in the matter of
the Brush Electric Company against the
Electrical Accumulator Company et al, set
tles for the present the celebrated case, in
volving the control in the United States or
the manufacture and sale of storage batter
ies. The proof of the infringement in the
action decided Thursday, Judge Coxc held,
was substantially the same as in the Bnuh
Julien case. After referring to the similar
ity of the patents and clearly setting forth
how the broader one covered the second
battery element, Jndge Coxe continues:
"Air. Brush was the first injthecountrr to
make the broad invention. He is entitled
to the fruits of his invention. It is the
policy of the law to reward him. "Where
the Court can see that the patentee has pro
duced an invention of real merit, it should
not be unduly industrious in endeavoring to
discover some statement or act of his by
which, on technical grounds, his rights mar
be forfeited. It should rather be sedulous
to protect him."
The case will he taken to the Supreme
Court of the United States for final adjudi
cation. NO STATUE FOB MABT HAMTLT0H.
