Covers were laid for twelve
around a beautifully arranged table
at Hotel Austin last Friday after
noon. The proprietors, Mr. and Mrs.
Chisholm, were courtesy personified
1o the hostesses, the newly elated
officers cf the Women's Civic Im
. provement Club, and to their guests,
the retiring officers. The chef at
Hotel Austin is the best the hotel
lias ever known, and the service
knew not one flaw nor awkward in
terruption. The menu was most
skillfully selected and artistically
presented, and both entertainers and
entertained were appreciative of
merit.
An informal program was blended
among the courses of the menu. Mrs.
Emma Jack, iu behalf of the presi
dent, Mrs. Neil, who was unavoidably
absent, welcomed the guests, and
couched some dosorving praise there
in. Mrs. Jack acted as toast mistress.
She called upon Mrs. Barber, the new
vice-pre3ident, to toast "Our Club;
It's Aim and Plans." Mrs. Barber
responded in an earnest, practical
nay, laying emphasis upon the aim
to acquire a building lot and to beau
tify it during the current year; to
lay the foundation for a club home
of our very own. In her manner
Mrs. Barber was natural and enthusi
astic. In her sweetly, kindly way
Mrs. Brings, the guest of honor, re
Fpended to "Our New Officers."
Upon retiring to the parlor each
lady present, in due turn, presented
a bright thought, or a plan to help
the club grow and be of F.ervice. The
tivo which appealed to the writer
most forcibly wore given by Mrs. Sam
JicXair, who urged the organization
of a hoys' auxiliary somewhat after
the plan of the Ladies' Auxiliary ex
cept that men interested in the bet
terment of young men and boys
should lend assistance and he permit
ted to Join; and second, the plan of
Mrs. Fred Putnam, who advocated
the Idea that the literary part of the
programs of the past year uplifted
women end broadened them; made
them sympathetic and Intelligent
companions of their children In the
high school and fit to share their
(studies; also that this phase of the
work was cultural, refining and spir
itualizing. Others followed rapidly with help
ful suggestions, sometimes two or
three speaking at the same time, and
there was not a dull moment the en
tire evening and everyone went home
happy.
Such gatherings arc of untold
value. The civic spirit caused us to
choose the hotel as a meeting place,

i
ture. However1
It was far
sailing. It
from being all smooth j
had its ups and downs
and more than once was on the thin
edge of failure. It was probably
these vicissitudes that cooled the ar
dor of the two Greeks, who first car
ried the Kinetoscope to England. In
any event they made an early exit
and Paul occuplod the stage by him
self. The greatest problem that Paul
had to face, even after he had devel-
oped a world market for the ma
chines, reaching even to New Zea
land, Japan and South America, was
that of film supply. For this he was
dependent entirely on the output of
"Black Maria", the fantastic name
by which Edison's first crude mo
tion picture studio was known.
Finally two agents of this first
American producer, who had secured
the exclusive control of both his
Kinetoscope and his film for the
European market, conceived what j
they believed to be a brilliant idea.
They would obviate the neglected
English patent proceedure by refus
ing to sell films for any machine
other tliai that of Edison's own
make.
This was quite enough to cause
Paul consternation. It threatened
not only to despoil his future trade,
but also to work irreparable hardship
upon his previous customers. The
only escape that suggested itself was

the invention, on his own part, of a
motion picture camera and the man
ufacture of his own pictures. He
had no model to go by, but, through
patience and long experiment was
evontaully successful. However, the
quest including the manufacture of
several ineffectual devices before he
finally hit upon the practical one ate
1 up the larger part of the small for
tune he had made from his previous
sale of Kinetoscopes,
I As future events proved it was, In

profitable investment principally be

camera pave Paul a zest for further
experiments. Long before this It had
occured to the Londoner that a mo
tion picture device, like the Kine-

able If several people could see the
pictures at once, this gave him aH
problem on which his brain was half
subconsciously working one evening
when he sat as a spectator on even
ing at a sterloptlon entertainment.
As he watched the various photo
graphic views of still life thrown on
the screen, the Idea came to him In
a flash why not apply this same
principle to motion pictures?
Paul went home to begin his ex
periments next day upon what even
tually resulted In one of the first, If
not the very first projection machine
ever devised. Mr. Talbot, an English
author and consequently a compa
triot of the inventor, maybe prompt-
ed somewhat by loyalty to British
blood in declaring Paul's the first
of the several projecting devices per
fected at about this same time. I
quote as follows from Mr. Talbot's
book:
"About 3 o'clock one morning, in
the early months of 1895, the quiet
ness of Hatton Garden was disturb
ed by loud and prolonged shouts.
The polico rushed hurriedly to the
building whence the cries proceeded,
and found Paul and his colleagues
in their workshop, giving vent to
whole hearted exuberance of triumph.
They had just succeeded in throw ing
the first perfect animated pictures
upon the screen. To compensate the
police for their fruitless investiga
tion the film, which was 40 feet lang
and produced a picture 7 feet square,
was run through the special lantern
for their edification. They regarded
the strange spectacle as ample com
pensation and had the satisfaction
of being the first members of the
public to see motion pictures thrown
upon the screen."
Other writers are not so entirely
positive as Talbot that Paul's was
the first projection machine. Un
doubtedly several persons, in differ
ent corners of the world, were work
ing at this time toward the same
end, and wero almost contemporane
ous one with the other in reaching
passibly satisfactory results. It is
obvious that none of these persons
realized even a fractional part of
the real Importance of the work they
had done. But although they did
not know It, they had insured the
future of motion pictures on a tre
mendously extensive scale.

Wimer Makes
Public Statement
John E. Wimer, candidate for city
recorder, makes the following public
statement:
To the Voters and Taxpayers:
Since announcing myself as a can
didate for city recorder I have been
asked by many people of Ashland
my ideas relative to reducing the
expense of the recorder's office in
the event of my being elected. I
have also been requested to pledge
myself to reduce the office help, but
not approving of making verbal
pledges, and feeling that It would be
Inconsistent, without a hidden pur
pose, for any candidate to make such
pledges in order to gain votes, I have
answered such requests by saying,
"It Is my intention, if elected, to
maintain the office on as small ex
pense as possible consistent with ef
ficient service." I have also under-

stood thft the report has been circu
lated that if I am elected I Intend
to replies the present office help
with others, and also that I Intend to
put my wife to work in the office.
I want to say In answer to such re
ports and for the benefit of the one
who Btarted it, that such is not, nor
ever has been, my intention, and that
I am opposed to making a family af
fair of any public office and that my
wife will not be employed In the of
fice during my administration.
I have pledged myself, If elected,
to devote my entire time to the work
of the office, give the people longer
office hours and an economical, effi
cient administration. This I feel Is
all any candidate can conscientiously
pledge himself to do, but in view of
the many questions before me I take
this means over my signature as can
didate and taxpayer to say that I
stand for economizing on the expense
of the offico wherever possible and
consistent with satisfactory service.
I am opposed to over-expenditure of
the city finance, and if elected as re
corder I shall feel it my duty to the
taxpayers of Ashland to watch over
and curtail the city's expenses wher
ever It Is In my power to do so. I
will conduct the recorder's office at
the minimum cost, accounting for all
money co.ieuieu, auU uauu.c n.c
er matters In a businesslike manner;
and If the offico can be handled with
less expense than at present, I assure
the voters and taxpayers my co-operation
in reducing it. I understand
many methods of practical bookkeep
ing and systems that will reduce the
clerical work, and having been close

past twenty months and knowing
