CANADA BOOSTS POST.
Treaty with United States Abrogated--
American Newspapers Affected
by New Rates.

OTTAWA. Ontario, May 7.-[Special.
The existing postal treaty between
Canada and the United States expires
by limitation at midnight tonight, the
Dominion government having notified the
Washington authorities of it's desire to
have the treaty abrogated.
Second class mail matter, including
newspapers, magazines and books is the
only matter that will be affected by the
change. On this class of matter coming
from the United States Canada will adj
vance the rate from l to 4 cents a
pound The effect will be according to
all expectations that the circulation of
American newspapers and magazines in
the Dominion will be considerably cut
down The real cause for the change.
is probably to be found in the loud and
continued protest of Canadian merchants
that the advertisements of American
merchants in the magazines and news
papers so freely circulated on this side
of the border resulted in taking vast
sums of money out of the pockets of
Canadians and putting it into the peck
cts of merchants in the United States to
the consequent loss Of Canadian mer-
chants.

a Fine Djsplay.

The display of high-art photographs
i'll the BOwden Studio windows has
attracted much notice and no little favor
able comment, and compliments galore
have been showered on Mr.. Bowden.
1t is evident that he is devoted to his
art, and continually striving to give the
people class of work superior to even
what larger communities are accus-
toned. Second to none is his motto
for Frostburg
This display is the result of good
deal of labor on his part, but it goes to
show what man who is III love with
his work can do, aside from the
monetary consideration.
The photos in colors of some of Frost
burg's popular young ladies have been
highly compimented, the colors being
held very true to nature a feature which
makes this class of work so pleasing.
The black and white photos are superb.
They show his skill in chemical work,
which places them i'll a class by them
selves. In fact, Bowden's work has a
quality all its own.
The framing of these studies also show
great taste, a most important requisite
in this line of work.
The south window shows some beauti-
full prints, notably the four latest from
the brush of VIII Crete. The picture,
The Leap y ear Question, has attracted
more than usual attention from the I'M
married ladies, owing, no doubt, to the
coming year being leap-year, the first i'll
eight years.
The other studies are very life-like,
The Golden Opportunity in particu-
lar. "A Friend at Court and The
Possessive Case are also interesting.
The child studies are very real and
show quite plainly that the artist under
stands his subjects.

The Union-street democrats in Coun-
