SIR ROBERT BOND HOPES
FOR RECIPROCITY TREATY
Newfoundland Premier Leaves for
Gotham and May Call on Pres
ident Roosevelt.

Sir Robert Bond, premier of New
foundland, left yesterday for New York.
Before leaving he had pleasant in
formal talk with Acting Secretary OF
State Adee on the subject of reciprocal
relations between the United States and
Newfoundland, which he is most desir-
Gus of having established His visit has
had no actual results, no negotiations
have been commenced, and none have
been arranged for, but it has probably
laid basis for future action in this
direction.
Secretary Adee pointed out to Sir
Robert that he was powerless' to do
more than talk with him in an imper-
sonal way, he having no authority to be-
gin negotiations for the framing of
treaty. Ii is expected that Sir Robert
will endeavor to see President Roose-
welt at Oyster Bay for the purpose of
interesting him in the project.
His idea is to renew the treaty which
was negotiated with this country twelve
years ago, when Mr.. Blaine was Secre-
tary OF State, and which failed through
the opposition of the British govern
ment, at the instigation of Canada. Mr..
Bond now has the authority of the
British government to renew the nego-
tiations and was introduced to Mr.. Adee
by the British charge d'affaires, Mr..
Raikes.

ATLANTIC CITY, Sept. lathe
greatest resort in the world was turned
over to the volunteer firemen Wednes
day, and from early in the morning un-
til late last night they took full pos
session, not only of the fire houses but
of the streets and the board walk and
the beach.
The city was thrown open to them and
there never have been more welcome
visitors within the city gates. They
came not only from points within the
State, but from cities and towns in New
York, Pennsylvania and Delaware. All
of the visitors Joined in the parade and
review of the local fire department, and
the display was the best that has ever
been seen here.
One of the funny things of the week
was that a carriage containing bridal
couple was caught in the throng on At
lantic Avenue during the firemen's pa
rade and was compelled to keep In line
for several blocks before policeman
extricated it.
The couple were Miss Madge Helm,
of this city, and James Flanagan, of
Pittsburg, who had just been married at
the Church of Our Lady Star of the Sea.
After the knot had been tied the happy
couple entered carriage. which during
the ceremony had been decorated with
choice collection of new kitchen uten-
sils bought by their friends, and started
for the brides home on Mississippi Ave
nue.. Owing to the crush on Atlantic
Avenue occasioned by the firemen's pa
rade the driver could not cross the
street and was compelled to form in
line with the marching column.
A sign on the back of the carriage
reading Just Married" put the firemen
and the crowd on, and they were greeted
with cheers and congratulations galore.
The bandmen entered into the spirit of
the thing. and instead of the patriotic
airs. struck up wedding marches.
Mr.. Flanagan took the matter as
huge joke, and invited the whole parade
around to take something.

Occasionally horse falls at fence,

very few. Those who are unable to ride
