AN ARTISTIC TRIUMPH.
Reproductions OF Famous Paintings by
Berlin photographers.

One of our advertisers. the Calumet Bak-
ing Powder Company of Chicago, is distrib-
uting free to it's patrons some rem arkable
examples of the perfection which the litho-
grapher's art has attained. Several years
ago this company purchased two celebrated
paintings and sent them abroad where lith-
ographY is in much higher state of de-
velopment than in this country, for repro
duCtiOn. The idea which they had in mind
was that it was possible, if sufficiently skill
full artists could be found, to reproduce up
on paper every line. every color, every deli
cate touch and shade which the artists who
painted the original pictures had exhibited
upon canvas. In this they have been phe-
nominally successful, for when framed I'M
der glass, even a connoisseLr would prompt
ly pronounce them paintings from the easel
of great master.
The subject of one of these pictures is
landscape, an autumnal scene. where the
fidelity with which nature is reproduced is
an evidence OF the artists genius and his
appreciation of the truth of the old maxim
that Nature is the artists standard and
Truth his chief end.
The other is a half-length draped figure
of beautiful young girl where the artist
has not merely reproduced those features
of what must have been a marvellous model,
but has included minutae which would es-
cape the generality, giving an idealizatiOn
of astounding perfection.
!. The pictures are of uniform size, % inches
by 80 inches, making two magnificent COM
panion pieces.
Either of the above pictures will be for
warded to all persons sending their name
and address together with two of the cou-
pons found in pound cans of Calumet
Baking Powder, and twelve 2-cent stamps
to the Calumet Baking Powder Company
Chicago.

Oyster Bay, Aug. 13.-President
Roosevelt held a conference with the
members of the subcommittee of the
senate finance committee, which was
not concluded until the small hours
this morning. The whole subject OF
financial legislation at the approach
ing session of congress was discussed
thoroughly No definite conclusions

distinct Importance was developed.
Session is Assured.
While the extraordinary session OF
congress next fall is assured it has,
not been determined definitely wheth-
er it will be called to meet in Octo-
Der or November. The primary pur-
pose OF this extraordinary session will
be to enact legislation making opera
tive the Cuban reciprocity treaty but
financial legislation also will be press
ed upon the attention of congress soon
after it conyenes. 1t can be said that
the senate finance committee will
draft no measure formally and con-
clusively until consultations have been
held with other members Of the sem
ate and house and with the hest au-
thorit1es on finance in the country.
