It would appear that the inevitable
"U iliium Waldorf Astor aud Ambassa
fiat Thomas P. Bayard are involved,
and theioeoaaton of it in a difficulty of a
smuewhut novel nature in diplomatic
Circles.
For some weeks past the American
ambassador baa bean imbuirabbed by
t h e authorita-
I ivu attitude as-
turned by Mr.
Attor, through '
h i s purchased
oiyans. on mat-
ten connected
with the I uited
States. Tor in
stance, Mr. A6- j
tor promulgated
the a ert ion
that our revolu
tionary war was
a ease of the
Eurlish defeat-
QCXU roB an AMEiii- ing themselves; ;
ca-n. ,-t hat lingular .
campuigii iu which we English had to :
boat ourselves and to yet France to
help us to do it." Then there were
allusions to Lincoln diametrically op- j
posed to what Mr. Bayard had said iu
a speech. But the Astor put his foot
in it badly w hen bis organ declared:
'The lot. then, that is commonly called
the lot of the jKior. is not. as such, a lit
subject of any conimistiratiou." It is
declared that when this wa repeated
to John liurw and other labor mem
bers of parliament they refused to be
lievu il to have emanated from the
"Yankee's" ibeet until they saw 1he
titierauce in print. However. Mr.
Astor is not accepted in Lapland as a
political factor, aud the matter was
passed over until some critics ques
tioned the utterances of Mr. Bayard
eonoeruiiig the merits of Ainerienu in- !
btitutious by repeating some of Mr.
Astor's language in refutation. Thus
Mr. Bayard came to be embarrassed, as
noted, by the thiuys put forth by his i
millionaire countryman.
But even this state of affairs could
he overlooked, since Mr. Astor is not
iu England iu an otBcial capacity, as is
Mr. Bayard. Hut when several eon- ,
uemnationa of America were q&jd to
have come from tin- embassy through
the natural confusion resulting from
the fact that Mr. Astor's relative is
nest to the highest authority in it 1
there was a slight difficulty.
According to the New Yor end of
the story Mr. liayard represented to
Mr. Roosevelt that it might be well if
Mr. Astor confined hU denunciations !
of tilings American within narrower
limits. Not that there was anything
like an estrungeraent, for Mr. Buyitra
Is too courtly, too diplomatic and too
old a politician to give offense to any
one. He simply called attention to the
fact that as Mr. Astor was getting de-,
plorably unpopular with the American ;
.olony it might be well if he refrained
from connecting himself with the em
bassy as intimately as he had been do-1
ing and thus spare the official there from
the necessity of disavowing him. as it j
were. It was a delicate position for 1
our ambassador to be in, particularly
as he had to deal with a relative of the
man who had brought upon himself !
all the condemnation. For It may be 1
remarked parenthetically that the!
New York laud owner is positively as
toniahing England by what he causes!

The competition among the mammas
of boys who are destined to inherit
large fortunes to
make their dar
lings look dis
tinguished is
taking some un
usual forms. Kor

latest style is to

abundance. As a consequence, Fifth
avenue, when some well-known little
boys appear upon it in the afternoons,
is quite a sight. Kor the boy popula
tion that is born with a golden spoon
in. its month is quite large in the me
tropolis. Now to see a boy gotteu up iu silks
and jewels is an UUUBUa spectacle to
many persons. Especially is this the
case with the children of the poor. A
carriage, in which were Seated two
gorgeously dressed youngsters, drew
up near the Park ou Fifth avenue re
cently, and a group of street urchins
proceeded to make fun of the wealthy
boys. Their mother was standing on
the steps of a mansion palace, and at
". ) sight of the frantic action of her
little boys they both seemed terror
ized at the gestures of the street ur
chins si e set up u scream that
la-ought a policeman, and the street
boys tied.
ub a matter of fact, it is the boys who
ure rallying sround Croker. for they
feel eoiivinwd that ho it still one of
them. The Btorn s about woaltband
power In connection with Croker arc
alleged by (bo boys to be uuoory.li int.
Cochran is declared by the boys to be
the head of the kid gloves. The boys
and the kid gloves, It may be explained,
are the two Tammany factions, but the
difference between them is just what
the boys nr.d the hid gloves ennnot
quite explain. There is a picture of
Cochran now going abimt among tho
jboyi In which that congress man Is rep
resented with a crown on his head. The
-lei-1 gloves have retaliated with u big
portrait of the boss in lighting cos

W. Hourke Cochran has now become
the admitted leader of the Croker op-
(Hisitlon, and ac
cording to the
late-it stories Mb
doings from tho
time of the first
reported differ
ences he had
with tho great
Richard were all
a part of a deep
laid scheme to
lead the "boss"
Into a trap. It
is well known
that for months
past Mr. Croker
lias been made to appear in the char

he had risen above the boys and meant
(o make them all wear collars. Now,

a New Tammaa iiaii.
It came near being publicly an
nounced last week that the Tammany
Organisation intended putting up a
magnificent new building, but the du
bious position of that respectable body
just now led to the abandonment of
the project. This idea of a new home
had long been a favorite with QttS ele
ment iu the Hall, but the members
generally are fearful that there would
be uu OUtcr.l as to where Tammuuy got
the money for it. As it is, the present
Structure is rather a houiely affair,
with not overmagnifiosnt apartments.
It is likely that should the result of
the elections this fall be favorable to
fiTs. Tammany New
TWi Vorl: Will wit

is to make more

tares w hich are
at present sub

political ele
ment. It is be-
i e ved possible
to make Tun-
TO old one. uisny a social
power in addition to a political one.
That is. Tammany is to become a so
cial authority and membership in tha
iuner circles of the organization is in
tended to yet be as much of a guarantee
of a man's social standing as member
ship In the most exclusive clubeould be.
This is certainly a novel project iu
that home of bosses, but it is the re
sult of man . social snubs to w hich
Tammany men have been subjected.
So we ure likely to witness In time the
foundation of a Tammany aristocracy
that may vie with that of the Dutch
descendants.

M. BBACQ'S POLYPOSE.
Now Photographic Device Invented
by u i''roncbmau.
With It Compoolte l'lcturaa Can Ho 1'alien

:... Ii v and llotv It lii
Operated.
M. V. Hracq is the inventor of s new
photographic shutter which he calls
''polypbse," because it enables opcru
toi a to take composite pictures ou one
plate with very little trouble. With
this ingenious device it is possible to
take one or sever.il objects as often
aud iu as many different positions lis it
IS desired and ou any kind of back
ground. This u" is Hie chief ad
vantage uf the . apparatus. Thus
a man can be made to hand himself a
glass of water, or a clown to carry his
double on bis .shoulders, etc.
The secret of the system is simple
eUOttgbi and Is louiuled upon the fol
lowing principle: if a shutter pro
vided with a slot Is plsoed us m ar no
possible to the sensitive plate, directly
in front of the plate holder, the slot
allows only u portion of the reflection
of the subject to puss. By changing it
about, either horizontally or vertical
ly, the negative can be made to receive
iu succession several impressious ill
one way or another. If the intensity
of the light has been thesume at every
exposure no traces of the Joints uro
visible, no matter how numerous they
might be
With this knowledge in mind it was
but a step to construct an apparatus
with which the work could be accom
plished in the most rational way.
The device constructed by M. Bract
aud his assistant. M. Kaller. consists of
u Hat rectangular easing, which eau be
fitted to the plate-holder and can carry
in its center, provided with an opening
at Large as the plate, the ground, gluss
and frame for the plate-holder. In
front of that opening and ou the inn'
side of the casing moves a shutter pi

vided w itli a slot, which is governed by
a spiral terevv and winch -handle. The
shutter operates In a downward course
under a bfutionary board, ullovvs the
imprtission tu be made on the sensitive
plaio, und meets a second stationary
board, underneath which it glides.
The exact position of the shutter i.de
termined from the outside by a needle
which slides down a graduated
groove.
Among a large number of photo
graphs taken w ith this apparatus the
following copy will illustrate the
method as lucidly as possible. In oper
ating with a horizontal diaphragm the
first pose taken was that uf the chair
and its occupant, which was held
above the tloor at a distance of J'-a' feet
by a number of boards. The llrst ex
posure was then made. As tile slot is
on a level with the buppoit, it is
dropped below the seat, and the second
exposure is made by placing the sub
ject underneath the chair.
With a little patience and very littlo
difficulty the fantastic figure illus
trated can soon be taken. Instead of
placing the apparatus vertically , it is
adjusted to the plate-chamber iu a hor
izontal position, so that the slot occu
pies a vertical line. In this way a per
son can be photographed as if standing
in mid-air.
