A Reciprocity Treaty is Signed that Gives
Mutual Advantages to Both the Con-
tracing Parties.
Washington, May S1.-The United
States and France have concluded the
first commercial agreement entered
into under the Dingley law. The ne
gotiations have been pending for eight
months and were concluded on Satur-
day last, when Ambassador Cambon,
in behalf of France, and Hon. John
Kasson, reciprocity commissioner for
the United States, affixed their sigma
lures to the formal agreement. 1t
makes important changes in the tariff
rates on number of articles consti-
tuting the chief trade between this
country and France. The particular
advantages secured by the United
States are on meat products and lard
compounds, France reducing her rates
one-half on meat products and about
one-third on lard compounds. The
chief benefits to France are in reduc-
tions in rates on brandies, wines, YER
muth and works of art. There is no
reduction in the rate on champagnes,
although the Dingley law contem-
plated reciprocity reduction on cham
pagnes in case mutual concessions were
given.
By the terms of the agreement the
new rates gointo effect tomorrow. In
the meantime, under the terms Ct the
law the president has issued procla-
nation granting the reciprocal reduc-
tions specified in the agreement, and
at the same time the French authori-
ties at Paris will decree reduction in
the French rates in accordance with
the agreement.

She Was Well Posted.

In the Sunday school room of an Epis-
cOpal church in Brooklyn the other day
a lecture was given for the benefit Of
some worthy object. 1t was on a week
day, but on the hymn board in the front
of the room were what the regular men,
bers of the congregation said were the
numbers Of the hymns that had been
sung on the Sunday before. But an out
slider was struck with something pecul-
lar about them. There were four num-
bers arranged in line one under the
other, as is customary on the hymn
boards, and they were, as they appeared
to the audience gathered for a lecture.
"4, II, Al, and "7-11."
"Why, it was the funniest thing, :"
said woman who was present. II no.
ticed it the minute l went in, and it
must have been done on purpose, for
there is no seven hundred and eleventh
hymn in the hymnal; six hundred and
something is the last. The first three
were policy numbers and the last craps.
Wasn't it funy?"

listening to the joke. "I should say SO.

they meant. Now, confess, how i'll ever

Flower Painters.

About the last literary work corupIet-
ed by the late Cora Stuart Wheeler was
a beautiful tribute to "Some Court
Painters TO Queen Rose" published in
+ The Woman's Home Companion, III
which she says:
"As a rule, women make the best
flower painters. The men who excel in
this branch of art are comparatively
few, even when we consider the small
number of artists of both sexes who
have acquired reputation in the pictur-
ing Of flowers. The reason is not diff
cult to see. The average woman has a
fondness for flowers which brings her
into the closest sympathy with them
and enables her TO appreciate and un-
derstand them as men seldom do. In
the Interpretation of certain subtle
phases of floral life her sensitive tenn
permanent and the peculiarly sympathetic
feeling that she is apt TO bring to her
labor of love especially qualify her for
engaging in this department of picture
making. In point of technical ability
some marvelously clever work has been
done by artists of the gentler sex in the
reproduction of flowers and in the
treatment Of difficult subjects. -

A Jesse James Hold Up.

A. NJ. Mccoy of Horsecave, KY, is
famous throughout the Blue Grass State.
For about twoscore years he owned the
stagecOach lines between Horsecave
and Mammoth cave and Glasgow and
Mammoth cave. He operated these lines
all through the troublous times of the
civil war. OF course he met with many
narrowing experiences during the time,
and which he likes to tell
Probably no incident connected with
his career is more thrilling than the
hold up Of one of his stages by Jesse
James and three of his pals some
time back in the seventies. This Incl
dent is described in one of the stories Of
that notorious shighwayman. 1t occurred
early one morning. When the stage was
about half way between HOrsecave and
Mammoth cave, four men sprang out
from the side of the road and ordered
the driver to halt. One of the men
caught the horses and the other three
drew pistols and held them at the heads
of the driver and passengers. The driver
Of course did as ordered, and the men
proceeded to search the passengers. Ev-
erything Of value was taken.
One Of the men robbed was a man
named ROundtree, who was we'll known
at that time. He had a valuable gold
watch, which James confscated for his
own use. The timepiece was held very
dear by Roundree, as it had been pre-
sented him by Ex-Governor Knott, who
was at that time young man. The no.
tOrious Jesse carried this watch during
the rest Of his life Louisville Dispatch.

THE flower of the Spanish navy,
Admiral Cervera's fleet, which had
been penned up in the harbor Of
Santiago for The past four or five
weeks, made a bold dash for freedom
on Sunday. This attempt to run
the blockade Of the American fleet
proved a failure and four fine cruisers
and two torpedo boat destroyers were
sunk and their crews killed and cap
tured. The victory was as complete
as Dewey's battle at Manila. This
disaster to the Spanish cause should
have the effect Of bringing the war
party in that country to its senses,
but it is hardly likely that the war
will be brought to an end until Ha
vana falls. Our naval victories have
been remarkable for their complete
ness and for the very small damage
done to our fleets and sailors.
