REFORMATORY SHIP BURNS

Large Number OF Boys on

LIVERPOOL, July 96.-The Roman
Catholic reformatory shio Clarence was de-
stroyed by fire early this morning. 1T was
but a few moments after the fire was dis
covered until the great 'three-decker was
wrapped in flames. Intense excitement pre-
vailed until it became known that the hun
dreds Of lads and officers on board the Clar-
ence had been saved by the ferryboats Mer-
sey and Fire Fly, which quickly made fast
to the burning vessel and began pumping
water upon the flames. The boys on board
the Clarence worked with the utmost disci-
pline until they were forced to leave the
ship with the officers. The captains family
and Bishop Whiteside, who spent the night
on board the Clarence, lost their personal
effects. The crew OF the Mersey had a mar
row escape, having barely time to regain
their own craft, which had the utmost diff
Guilty in getting clear Of the burning vessel

fire was discovered in the Clarence its back
broke and 1t settled slowly. This was the
second Catholic reformatory ship of the
same name that burned on the Mersey river.
It's predecessor was fired by boys on board.

BENEFITS Of THE NEW TREATY
French Consul Believes the United
states Has Driven a Good


NEW YORK, July 26.-Edmond Bruwaert,
French consul at New York, says of the new
reciprocity treaty between France and the
United States: II regard it as an excellent
thing for the United States. America was
the only country which did not have the
benefit Of our minimum tariff. AS the manu-
facturers abroad are satisfied with a profit
OF s per cent, the difference between the
maximum and minimum rates was sufficient
to keep the United States out of the French
market.
Frances annual importation of manu-
featured articles is about $3.50, 900 900 and
the United States will get a good share Of
this. America undersells England In cotton
goods in China and there is no reason why
it cannot do the same in France. 1t will
be the same with other articles.
England, Belgium, Germany and Austria
now supply France with it's imported manu-
featured articles. The leading imports are
raw cotton, wheat, tobacco, mineral oil,
copper and lead. America sends agricultural
implements, sewing machines, electrical ap-
planes and pumps.
"There are 642 articles on the dutiable list
Of the French tariff, and the treaty gives the
United States the minimum rate on all ex-
cept twelve. Germany, England and the
other countries which have treaties with
France do not enjoy the minimum rate on
these twelve exceptions, which are chiefly
agricultural products. The average differ
ence between the French maximum and
minimum rate is SO per cent, so that imports
from this country will pay one-third less
duty when the treaty goes into effect.
There are 463 dutiable articles in the
tariff law of the United States and in re-
turn for its concessions France will obtain
a lower rate on less than 100 Of them, the
average reduction being only 10 per cent.
While this seems one-sided, it is not so
much SO as it appears, because American
goods have been sent into France as Eng
lish goods under the minimum tariff.
II do not think the treaty can go into
effect before next February. 1t must be
ratified both here and in France and signed
by President Loubet and President McKin-
ley. Then copies of the treaty must be eX-
changed.
France has given all it can give be-
cause, with its 81, 900. 900. 900 of national
debt it cannot reduce its tariff any
further. We did not get what we asked by
any means, but We obtained all the United

FRANKO'S THIRD MARRIAGE
Famous ViOlinist is Engaged to Miss
Anna Braga, a German
Actress.

Nahan Franko, the famous violinist, who
for a time resided in Omaha several years
ago, is to enter upon his third matri-
monial venture. His engagement to Miss
Anna Braga, a German actress, is an
nounced.
Franko's first marriage occurred in
Omaha about thirteen years ago. He mar
ried a Miss Edwards, a vocalist, who cam
here with a concert company. In appear
ance she was a rather attractive person, but
the course of love did not run smoothly
with the couple, and after two or three
years OF infelicity, they were divorced.
Mrs. Franko resumed her maiden name and
soon after became a member OF "Adonis"
Dlxey's company, with which she remained
for some time, during which the fascinat-
ing Dixey was very attentive to her.
Franko went to New York, where he soon
took his place in the front rank of the
musical world, where he properly belonged.
Today he is regarded as one OF the mcst
accomplished violinists in this country.
At present he Is concert master of Paur's
Symphony orchestra.
Frankie was one OF the most talked about
men in New York two years ago when he
sued his father-in-laS, Rupert, the wealthy
brewer, for the body Of his wife. Rupert
has been a friend OF EHranko and frequently
took his family to concerts, After the en-
tertainments he would invite the concert
master to join the family at supper. Cor
nelia Rupert became engaged to Frankie, to
her fathers disgust, and he kept the girl
a prisoner in the hose, refusing to allow
Frankie TO see her. The musician finally
got word TO her through a personal" in a
newspaper, and the two arranged an elope-
ment, which was successfully carried out.
Mrs. Rupert sympatlized with her daugh-
ter and sent $4,000 worth OF furniture 10
her fiat. When Ruprt, the father, dis
covered this, he sued lis son-in-law for the
money. Two years liter Mrs. Frankie died
from appendicitis. Hr father then made
peace with his son-iI-law for a time and
the funeral was held at the Rupert home.

Farmers Boys in College.

Some interesting figures as to the proper
tion Of farmers boys among college students
have been gathered by the American Agri-
culturist. 1t has returns from 17S UNIVERSE
ties and colleges, reporting an attendance
OF 81, 900 students, out of a total of 81, 900
in all the higher educational institutions in
the country, In its analysis OF the figures
the Agriculturist reduces the number of stu
dents considered to a little under SO, 900,
for some unexplained reason excluding. it
says, a few city colleges like Harvard, Pratt
Institute, University of Rochester, Fisk uni
versity and others. Out OF this total OF about
1000 1t finds that nearly 81, 900 are from the
agricultural classes, or a percentage of 4O.2
from the farm. This percentage varies
largely in different sections OF the country.
1t is 500 in the south, 45.s in the far west,
40.1 in the central west. 29.4 in the Middle
states and 29.1 in New England. I'm no
other nation will any such condition be
found" comments the Agriculturist. 1T is
a wonderful tribute to the general intelli-
gence OF our American farmers families,
and to the high hopes and deep aspirations
Of their sons and daughters, This exhibit
adds nightly to the dignity OF agriculture,
at least in the eyes of the masses in other

ACTING UNDER THE NEW LAW.
Taxes for Next Year VIII be Due And
Draw Interest From the
First of March.

A HERALD representative calling at
the Trustees office Thursday learned
the following facts which will probably
be of interest to our Maury county read
ers:
The business of the Office during this
month has consisted almost entirely in
paving Warrants-an answering ques-
tons. The tax books coming into the
hands of the Trustee the first of Novem-
Der, and the fiscal year ending the first
Monday in October, the Trustee receives
no taxes during the month of October.
Acting under the Instructions of the
Comptroller, Trustee CRANBERRY conduc-
ted his land sales and made his settle
ments of the taxes of 1898 under the as
sessment law of 1897. The taxes of 1899
will be collected and settlements made
under the assessment law passed at the
last session of the Legisture.
1t will also be a matter of special in
terest to the tax payers to take note of
the following facts:
First, taxes become delinquent after
the first of March, 1900, interest accru-
cent per annum.
second, III duQlllOu W bll6 dDONe Llth-
toned interest, the new law provides a
penalty of per cent month from every
month that the tax payer is delinquent.
Third, the penalty placed upon de
linquent polls is 80 cents instead of %
cents as heretofore.
Fourth, the Trustee, under the new
law, is compelled to advertise all delin-
quent property for sale after the first
of June, and sell the same the first Mon
day in July following.
1t would be we'll for tax payers to re
member these facts, because the Trus
tee, under the new law, cannot extend
the time as heretofore, when the lane
sales were the first of September.
The Trustee also stated that acting
under the resolution adopted by the las
session of the County Court he will this
week advertise for all outstanding
counting warrants, for the purpose o
paying same, and that the interest OF
the warrants will cease after the date o
his publication.
