which was not written by either Shake
spcare or Bacon Later on Miss Reynolds
appeared in the prominent vaudeville
theators Of thecountry. At about this time
she did what every sensible woman has
done or hopes to do--she got married. The
fortunate man was Mark Murphy, one OF
the few really good Irish comedians In
America. Murphy was then the star OF an
other nou- Shakespeare Bacon epic, entitled
"O'Dowd's Neighbors, an6Vis bride was
engaged TO create the leading role of Wild
ow Riley. This she did very successfully.
Mrs. Murphy's engagements have since
been somewhat dcsultory, but her recent
performance In "rhrilby" has served to
bring her prominently before the public In
a vehicle which afforded her full scope for
the exploitation Of her ability.
Mrs. Murphy is very handsome, which
is certainly no disadvantage on the stage
OF anywhere else; she has an excellent So
prano voice OF considerable culture; her
stage presence Is pleasing and she Is with
al a highly intelligent and well educated
woman. As she Is thoroughly conscien-
tious in everything she Undertakes 1t
would seem that jennie Reynolds future

liant one.

mine through manipulation OF It's ore In
the Nevada and Mexican mills which the

against Levy, Hayward, Hobart, and the
Mexican Mining Company. The directors
of the mining company were found guilty
of negligence and judgment for amounts
aggregating 1900, 900 were entered against

Arrangements for Treaty Between

WASHINGTON, Aug. s. The State de-
partment has been notified by Ambassa-
dor Eustis of the action taken by the
French Chamber of Deputines, looking to
the Arrangement OF a treaty between the
United states and France by the terms
OF which any differences that may here
after arise between the two countries Will
be adjusted by arbitration. The mbassa-
dor reports that resolution TO this end
passed the chambers by an unanimous
vote. 1t does not appear that this fact
was officially communicated To MIR. Eus-
tbs, and as by the terms OF the resolution
the French government was invited TO
negotiate for such a treaty, II is probable
that the first official notice that our gov.
eminent will receive OF the intention OF
the French government will be proposal

ground annot be found. This proposition
NAV be made TO our State department,
through Am mbassador Paternorte. AT the
State department it is thought the subject
promises to be extremely difficult OF ad-
justment, owing to the seeming impossi-
bility of reconclling the claims OF the
United States under the Mlnroe doctrine
with the French views.

The home team usually has the advantage
OF familiarity with grounds, home living,
sympathy of the spectators, favoritlsm OF

on the road plays on two different grounds
each week, and no two Of the grounds are
at all alike. Fieldors arc required to face

ASKED A FAVOR OF GRANT.

"a very amusing thing happened just be.
fore the close OF the wal" said Colonel A. j..
West TO an ATLANTA Constitution" man. II,
was Just two or three days before the surren-
der OF Lees army that old Uncle 81 Ectort
who had been cooking for one Of the bravest
OF officers during the campaign decided that
he wanted TO take his wagon back home
from the war. This old durky lived at La
Grange, Ga, and he wanted to carry back
from the war his mules and wagon aud keep
them as personal property. He was a faith
full old durky, anu had been In the Mexican
war. He had been a body servant for some
oil tho Generals in the warfare OF the SOUTH
ern slopes during that conflict, and had lat
Ell gone to war with his master as COOK and
BODY servant IN the conflict between the
states. He decided TO 20 to General Grant
In person the day before the surrender, and
ask the privilege Of carrying his wagon and
mules back to Georgia. The soldiers told
him he would never get beyond the lines, but
he boldly went forth anyhow. He worked
his way to General Grant and laid his case
before him, telling him he was in the Mexi-
can war. General Grant, with his own hand
wrote an order allowing the old darky 10 take
the team back 10 Georgia, and the next day,
when all ci Us were laying down our guns and
aocouterments. he proudly drove right al ong
In front OF the lines and started back to
Georgin. The old dsrky died q few years
ago, after a life OF usefulness at LaGranye.'
