FAVORS TREATY
French Journal Discountenances Certain
Rumors Against United States

Paris, December 24.-The journal Des de
Bats, in the course of a long article favor
ing the American-Franco reciprocity treaty,
says:
''Some are opposing the treaty because
they have become the dupes of English
newspapers, which are spreading the idea
that the United States are only branch
of Great Britain. The Americans, however,
have affirmed their determination to be in
dependent. President McKinley's message
showed their ability to disentangle them
selves from English embraces when these
became compromising.
LAS for ourselves, until there is some
proof to the contrary, we must regard the
Americans as our allies and friends. Their
conclusion of treaty with us Is a friendly
act, and must be considered as SUCH Our
only desire should be the ratification by our
own chamber of deputies. and the American
senate of an agreement SO significant and
precious for the maintenance of the tradi-
tional relations between the two countries"

a Golf Trick That Did Not Win

An enthusiastic golfer of Los Angeles.
named Tufts, was playing golf with friend
recently, relates the Chicago News When
he drove from the third teeing ground he
sliced the ball badly and sent 1t away to one
side. 1t stopped in front of grazing cow,
and Tufts came up just in time to see it
disappear into the bovine mouth. When
his opponent had made his stroke Tufts I'M
tethered the COW, and, with many sounding
whacks of his club, drove the beast to the
third hole. There he made her disgorge the
ball, and neatly holding it, announced that
he had made the hole in two strokes. His
opponent finished the hole in seven and
claimed the hole. But l made 1t in two,"
protested Tufts, gleeingly. mo you
didn't" declared the other; you made it
in 49, You hit>that COW thirty-seven times,
for counted every stroke" and Tufts con-
ceded the hole.

GOSSIP FROM THE
NATIONAL CAPITAL
Mrs, Dewey's Visiting List Has
Grown Suddenly Larger.
UNABLE TO RETURN CALLS
Interest in Mormonism Revived by Dis
cussion of Roberts Case, and Many
People Are Reading the Litera-
ture-President Kind Act

Washington, December 24.-(Special)-
Mrs. Deweys visiting list has grown so
large since her marriage to the Hero OF
Manila that she finds 1t impossible to re-
turn all her calls, and therefore has an
nounced through the social columns of the
press that she will send her cards.
Her visiting list was very small before
her marriage, and since then it has grown
to inordinate proportions. A string of car
riages can be seen almost any evening in
front of her modest home on Rhode Island
avenue. So far she and the admiral have
accepted no invitations. They have lived
very quietly, and kept very much to them
selves. They had accepted some invitations
for last week, but owing to Lieutenant
Brumby's Illness and death they declined
to attend any of the dinners. Now that the
gallant officer has died, the admiral will
observe long period of mourning, and re-
frain from going out socially
1t is a mark of respect he feels he owes
the dead flag officer, and in this determi-
ma ton he is seconded by his wife, who was
also very much attached to the young
Georgian.
Interest in Mormonism Revived
The debate and discussions over Roberts
have revived interest in the Mormon re-
ligion and many people are reading up on
it's sacred literature. One fact which
strikes the women as preposterous is that
marriage is necessary to the salvation of
women"
This is one of the early doctrines in the
church, having been held by Smith way
back in the 40's when the church was
them caused them to begin their westward
march. In order to meet this question and
provide a way for women to attain saliva
ton the church provided for spiritual mar
riages, which were merely an announce
ment by the elders and apostles of the
church. There was nothing polygamous
about this doctrine as practiced by them.
1t remained for Brigham Young to have a
vision in which the God told him that not
only were spiritual marriages necessary,
but that when able it was a mans duty to
take more than one wife in the flesh This
caused the first split in the church, when
Joseph Smith, the son of the first prophet,
dissented from this doctrine and set up a
scism. His followers went to the north of
Utah and were called Josephites
