RECIPROCITY WITH CANADA
The Furniture Association of Ameri.
ca Favors If

New York, July 25.-At the second ses-
sion of the first national convention of the
Furniture Association of America Eugene
N. Foss of Boston made the principal
speech of the evening favoring reciprocity
with Canada.
= The following resolutions were adopted:
Whereas, The Dominion of Canada is the
largest foreign customer of the United States,
England and Germany excepted and the largest
for manufactured goods; and
Whereas. The continued enforcement Of the
present schedule of the United States is likely
to bring about lcurtailment of the present
Canadian market, now represented by exports Of
almost $12O, 600, 600 per arnum; and,
Whereas, a policy of international good will
and commercial exchange is more profitable and
in every way more desirable than one Of tariff
reprisals; therefore, be it
Resolved That the Furniture Association of
America regards with approval the action of the
United States government, thru Senator Charles
w. Fairbanks, in seeking to reconvene the Anglo
American joint high commission for the purpose.
among others, Of negotiating reciprocity treaty
with Canada.
Resolved That it is the sense of this conven-
ton that reciprocal relations, beneficial to both
countries should preferably follow the general
lines Of the removal by both countries Of the
duties on some or all Of the natural products
Of each, and such mutual extensions of the free
list and reductions and changes OF the duties on
the manufactured products of both as will give
to each as low a rate Of duties as is given to
any other country.

SHIRTS AND TIES FOR MERE MEN


The last-named color: in all it's many
tones was SO much in vogue at the begin
ming Of the season that it may fairly be
said to have run itself into the ground
and since it has been SO extensively taken
up by the cheaperashops, there seems to
be disposition on the part of the ex-
pensive makers to drop 1T, at least so
far as exhibition purposes are concerned.
Pink has not had much of q run this
year, tho for no apparent reason, as it
has not been overworked for several sea-
sons past, while red in all its shades, from
the brilliant vermillions to the deepest
crimson, is just now decidedly popular,
and particularly so for neckties. In shirts

ures or very slenderrlines on a white or
! ecru ground. a--3 .fsT2g er,efCs
| The fashionable shops still stick to the
| idea Of making white linen turned back
| cuffs on colored shirts, but while it is
undoubtedly a swell fad, it is one not
greatly to be advised for practical pur-
poses Plain white linen soils more quick
| ly or, at any rate, shows soiling more
quickly, than colored, and the turned
back cuff fares badly in the laundry. The
fashion is like that of the attached shirt
collar, an ultra style never generally fol-
lowed '5l-
Plated fronts, on the other hand, are
decidedly popular everywhere, and the
style IS one which now, in Its third or
! fourth year. seems likely to stay. The
| Illustration shows the x-plaited effect
Especially in vogue.
! OF the colors to be noted as extremely
| in use this summer, white and pongee or
/ ecru, deserve mention. White is used not
only for waistcoats, shirts and neckties,
but for belts and socks as WELL the lat
ter, however, having line or clock de-
sign of some contrasting color, such as
black lavender, dark green, blue, etc.
White socks do not appeal to the aesthetic
sense of the average man, but they are
prominently displayed at all the swell
shops and must be noted as one of the
seasons new fashions.
| In the necktie line, white silk without
figure. and plain white linen and cheviot,
made up in four-in- hand (never in boW)
shapes are the most stylish, and one OF
the most serviceable styles is that shown
by the illustration. The ends of the tie
are four inches broad and the whole thing
is folded together before tying, the great
advantage being that the tie Is twice re-
versibIe, so that when the front becomes
iii the least soiled the back may be used
and when this shows signs Of wear, the
tie may be folded to bring the fresh sides
out. In addition, it may, of course, be
washed but if of silk, even china silk
washing does not benefit 1t.
~Pengee,- not only the color but the silk
, itself, is being much used for both four
in hand and bow ties, the first as a rule

or figure marking in contrasting color

loaded with grass for hay looks exactly like
tall haycock moving to other quarters.
Altho these Indians kill some of their nu-
merous dogs, for food at their feast, beg from
their neighbors every horse that dies to use
as food, and buy whisky from the whites with
which to get drunk, nevertheless, they have
| a dignity and kindness which is surprising,

| far outnumbered the whites they
are civil and law abiding that very rarely
there are cases of thieving, and no cases OF
even passing incivility to women.

furnish a better example to less favored

| At first, it produced in us slight SILVER

but this soon proved useless waste of SEN
| sations.
To the understanding of the whites this
reservation has passed from the hands of the
Indians, but either they do not so under
stand it, or are unwilling to abide by the
consequences, for they are quietly, but
steadfastly resisting their removal to the
White Earth Reservation, where the govern
ment proposes to give them allotments of
| land, and educational opportunities for their
children which are so necessary in the line
| of progress.
AS the vicinity of this lake has been their
