AN IDEA SUGGESTED BY A VISIT TO MARCY'S DEN.
Something About the Photographic Plant Situated Up in the Dome-There Half-Tones Are Made of Surprising Quality.
In a cosy corner, way up in the dome is Marcy's photographing establishment. It is a snug little place and is probably known to very few; but there Frank Marcy aided by his are light and machinery fashioned by himself, finishes up the views he has taken of University scenes, makes the slides which are used in the scientific department, and turns out zinc etchings and half-tones of surprising quality.
About three years ago Mr. Marcy began his experiments in amara our photography, He met with good success and was encouraged to try for some original and substantial results. His work in half tone was of extra quality. He took the first really good view of the University campus (taken from the top of the stand tower). An excellent half tone was made of this view with the result that it is the only group picture of the buildings and grounds of the University of Kansas for sale on the market. Mr. Marcy has discovered some new processes and is now anxious to try them in zine line work. He has, however, recently purchased Mr. Tucker's stock of negatives, two thousand in number, together with the entire University business of Mr. Tucker, whose "good will" he has for fifteen years, and just at present he and his assistant, Daniel Lackren, are kept very busy with view and slide work. Mr. Marcy will soon put in a second arc light, which will enable him to accelerate his work.
A reporter for the WEEKLY was very much interested in looking through Mr. Marcey's plant and examining his electrical appliances. Everything is in shipshape order and the apparatus used would show a thorough knowledge of the photographic and reproductive art—as well as the art of convenience, expedition and economy of labor.
VOL. V. NO.15.
"Where did you learn the business?" the reporter asked curiously, while handling with affectionate touch an exquisite book of views photographed direct upon handsome paper and looking almost like etchings.
"What I didnt get here, I got from books," replied the artist, for Mr. Marcey is truly of that temperament. "The only half-tones I ever saw made I made myself in my own shop. In fact I never was in an engraver's room in my life. But I love the work and study to do my best. I have much to learn yet and it makes me ambitious. At present I intend to make my half-tones so that they will print,—the art, the hand touches come later."
"I have thought of that, but I will own to have been rather more modest even in confession to myself. But I have my estimates all figured out, and, some day, if the spirit is still willing, my friends are still encouraging, and prosperity continues, I may to try do something in the Art Preservative. In the meantime, though, I'll make views and slides and an occasional half-tone and—think what may be."
The reporter grew enthusiastic. He saw in Marcy a worker with taste, an artist in love with his art who would be ungrudging in his labor, who would be capable of infinite paints, a Sanderson, perhaps,—possibly a William Morris.
"Why don't you get some one in sympathy with your work to go in with you and run a print shop in connection with your engraving plant?" Who knows but what we might have a "Kelmsett Press" of our own, or, say, an "Oread Bindery"?
the modern grand opera and will probably be the hit of the season. The parts in this musical farce will be taken by R. H. Rogers, Ed House and Edward Copley.
In speaking to a WEEKLY reporter last night Manager Harris said that he considered the club unusually strong this year. "The boys have had good preparation," said he, "and I think they will give the public a good concert."

The Glee and Banjo club of the University of Kansas, will leave Lawrence today for their fifth holiday tour of the state. These tours have become regular events, for college life, college boys, college songs and ditties are subjects of never failing interest in Kansas as well as in the efeast cast.

JOHNMY OUTLAND STOPS HERE ON
HIS WAY HOME.
John H. Outland, captain of the Pennsylvania team for '88, surprised his old friends by appearing at the University last Wednesday.
He is on his way to Beloit where he goes to spend the holidays with relatives. Johnny was the recipient of many congratulations and hearty hand-shakes from old friends, and the Kansas team were especially glad to meet Kansas' former brilliant half back and proud to know he had won such signal honor at Pennsylvania.
In addition to being elected captain of the Pennsylvania team Walter Camp has named him as a tackle on the "All American an" team. "Yes this seems like getting home again," he said in his usual smiling way to a WEEKLY reporter, "Those were great days, the season of '95. Well you beat Missouri this year if we didn't in '95. We had a great team and ought to have won that game but we had a very successful season anyway. Oh, of course, I am pleased with Pennsylvania's work this year. Cornell was undoubtedly our hardest game. George Woodruff said that our heads were swelled so badly that we couldn't get through the holes. "There is a great difference," he continued, "in the officials of the East and the West. In the East there is scarcely any wrangling over an official's decision. Such a time as you had at Nebraska would be an impossibility in the East. And Nebraska is inclined to kick on Mosse's so-called arm plate?" he asked with a laugh. "Well, that is funny. We wore that same kind of protection all through the practice and regular games, and it was never objected to but once, and that was at Lafayette. Paul Dashiel was umpire, and after examining them he permitted us to continue wearing them, and when Dashiel says anything is all right it is pretty apt to be right. He is one of the squarrest officials I have ever seen."
Mr. Outland complimented the team on the season's work and congratulated them on having Dr. Woodruff with them again next year. He attended the dinner given by Mrs. Hamilton in honor of the team

Taxation in Kansas.
"In the whole realm of political life," says Mr. Blackmar, "there is no greater opportunity for the institution of a needed reform than in a complete reorganization of the method of taxation now in vogue." The author introduces the subject in such a masterly way that the subsequent articles will be read with interest.
