Miss Alice Fallon.

Miss Alice Fallon, who has been two years in Dresden studying vocal music, and who.s during that time, has wonder fully improved her already marvellous voice, returns today with her mother to her home in this city. She and her moth CT remained awhile in Helena, Montana, visiting rlatives before they came on home. Here Miss Fallon was heard by large and capricious audiences in two concerts and won unstinted praise from all critics. Indeed she appears to have taken Helena by storm. The progress of this beautiful young woman and gifted singer Is an essentially upward tne and there is no doubt on earth that she will attain great celebrity if she lives. Speak ing of a recent concert at Helena the Evening News of that place says:

 At the meeting of the Creche the past week 1t was decided to make an appeal for the winter underwear for the children and older girls at the Home and the clothing may be sent either to Mrs. AL exander Troy London or to Mrs. J.

tile poetry and soulful grace. Concerning one of these on exhibition some little time ago In New York, the Illustrated American said: "Clara Weaver Parish has worked a poetic vein In her figure admirably conceived and artistically handled, of black haired woman, seated by q towering bush with her hands clasped on large book in her lap, and wrapt in Day Dreams. This quality of soul has invested Mrs. Parish's portraits with peculiar charm, There is one in particular which pleased the crit les at the New York Water Color Clubs Exhibition. It Is the characteristic figure of an old gentleman in the fine. beruf- fled linen and black broadoloth of ante bellum days, seated in an antique green chair against a background of blue, re- plete with the charm of unobtrusive color and a certain quiet dignity. It is a DOT trait of her father. Another family like ness which hung in the Palace of the Fine Arts at the Paris Exposition is pastel of her aunt, seated in the waning | light of day, an open bible upor her knees, the color scheme blending of | black and gold and such an impress of calm on the sweet old face that Mrs. | Parish calls the picture "Evening." Apropo of this charm of sentiment in herent in her an Erie. Pa, paper relates that during an art exhibition In that city one of the reception committee took canvass of all the children visiting the hall in order to ascertain which in their youthful opinion was the most beautiful picture. Half the number chose Mrs. Parish's theme of the first Easter, a representation of the three Marys com ing to the tomb of Christ the dawn still dim with misty greys. faint greens and elusive blues, but showing along the dark Judean hills glimmerings of the glorious sunrise soon to illumine the world.

 Field of Monotypes.
 Mrs. Parishs versatility has found a field in monotypes. the artistic fad of the hour. This is fascinating work, perhaps a bit unknown, so word of explanation may not be out of place. The artist paints with oils in black and white, or sometimes in colors the chosen scene upon a steel plate. then lays on a thin sheet of wet paper and takes an impress sion in a letter press. In this way cer- tain delicacy of effect Is produced not to be found in the original plate.
 Mrs. Parish has also attractively illus trated the Southern scenes which Mrs. Martha Gielow has put In her 'Mammy's "Reminiscences" The frontispiece is an excellent likeness of the. faithful guar dian of the artists own infancy.

A Blacksmitn's story.

Goodland, Kan, Dec. 23.-N. z. Al
bertson. Il local blacksmith, had almost
decided to give up his shop altogether
on account of rheumatism. Which had
crippled him so that at times lie coulu
not use his hammer.
His shoulders and arms were so sore
that he couldn't sleep Mt night. lie
had suffered for years. but was grad
ually getting worse till at last he had
about made up his mind to give up.
But just then he heard of some Won
derful cures of rheumatism by Dodd's
Kidney Pills and thought he would try
for a cure nee more.
They cured him completely and lie
has not Il trace of Rheumatism left.
The shop will not be given up and Mr..
Albertson may be seen there any day
hard mt work as if nothing had ever
allied him.

OUR PsoTEcrIwE TARIFF.

The Rock Upon Which American Man.
ufacturer$ Have Huilded.
The protective tariff has been the
solid foundation upon which the Amer
:icdn manufacturers have builded their
unequaled prosperity, and it is the only.
safe anchor for the labor and business
of the American people. If the tariff
Is excessive beyond the necessities of
American labor it may be good policy
to reduce 1t, but it can be safely said
that the people of this country are OPP
posed to any reduction that will reduce
the wages or the labor of the york.
ingmen of the United States. Tinkering
with tariffs unsettles business, causes
doubt and hesitation, and the laboring
men and their families are the first.
last and worst sufferers by the changes
made. That fact is again illustrated by
the business depression in Germany at
the present time-a depression wholly
caused by the efforts of the agrarians
of that country to prevent the impor-
tation of farm products of the United
States. Ii is possible that they will
succeed. but it will be well for the
statesmen ard agrarians of that oun
try, and the people of all other nations,
to remember the prediction of Signor
Luzatti, one of the political leaders of
Italy, as quoted by the New York Tri-
bune. that the adoption of the pro-
posed new German tariff would mean.
first, reprisa!s by other nations against

Reciprocity with Canada.


A delegation representing the cham
bers of of the United States
has told President Roosevelt that 1t
believes reciprocity with Canada will
be of great value to American COM
merce and industry. The President told
The delegation that he would take the
matter under advisement." This is
usually Il polite method of saying that
one is not ready to take action.
At this time Canada is the best pur-
chaser of american products after the
United Kingdom and Germany. There
S no doubt that freer trade relations
with the Dominion would add largely
10 it's American purchases, especially
as regards manufactured goods. There
would also he Il largely increased o
sumption OF American coal.
1t will not be an easy matter. how
ever, to negotiate a reciprocity treaty
such as Canada desires, for the reason
That the Canadians will be more ready
10 receive than to give. They will ask
for many concessions. They will be
willing to make few. But even il a
treaty should be negotiated on what
,ould fairly he called reasonable terms.
It's ratification would be more than
doubtful. There are so many interests
which would protest against Il reciproc.
.lty in which they would see an injury
10 themselves.
As n matter of course Canada would
insist Oh lower duties on farm and gar
den products. Against this concession
all the American farmers anywhere
aear the boundary line between the two
countries would protest. They would
tell of their losses if the cheaper veg
atables, eggs and poultry of the Cana
dams came into competition with their
products. These farmers are not with
put influence in Congress. While the
mine owners of Ohio and Indiana
would favor free trade in coal, Eastern
mine IL who do not wish to have
to compete with Nova Scotia coal in
New England would object to it. The
manufacturing interests as a rule
would look kindly on reciprocity, but
other powerful interests would oppose
it.
So until Il reciprocity project shall
have been devised which offends no
body the customs duties on Canadian
products are likely to remain as they
are. To get up a scheme which does
not displease somebody is beyond the
power of man.-Chicago Tribune.

From the votes in the reciprocity con.
