Favored Nation Clause Danger.

Rut II we do make such concessions.

Canada without any quid pro quo, so 70

lively agreed upon by those authorized TO
make contracts for ratification In both
governments, then We are in danger OF
creating an obligation against us in IA

whom We have existing treaties containing
what Is called the ia, ored nation clause.
BY this clause ne agreed TO give the same
commercial privileges TO the country with
whom we have made the treaty as We give
g. any other nation.
This clause has been construed by our
statesmen not TO involve US in an obliga-
ton 10 extend a privilege 10 all nations
which We confer upon one nation in consid-
GRAFTON of an equally valuable privilege re-
ceved from that one nation. In other
words il has been held not 10 include spe-

his speech in the reading room Of the club
by means OF two telephone devices with

The instruments had been loaned by the
Aeronautical Society, and about fifty mem

President Invites a lest.

Those of us who are responsible for the
Canadian treaty are willing and anxious to
subject il TO that kind OF a test and we
have no doubt that when II Is put IN OPP
GRAFTON the ghosts which have been exh5-
tied to brighten the agricultural classes
will ne laid forever.
Another and "A very conclusive. reason
for closing the contract is tho opportunity
which il gives us 10 increase the supply Of
cur natural resources, which with the
wastefulnoss Of children. We have wanton-
~ exhausted The timber resources Of
Canada, which will open themselves TO us

ment, are now apparently incxhaustible.

two decades ago with respect 10 the
necessity for proper methods OF forestry

Canada may be made ineXhaustible, and we
may derive ample supplies OF timber from

PROGRESS OF THE
ENGRAVING ART
Father RroSman Discusses
Subject in UrSuIine
Academy Lecture

The Rev. J. A. Brosman. S. J.. pro-
fessor of chemistry in Woodstock
College, Md. gave an entertaining
and instructive exposition OF early
and modern processes in making IL
lustrations, before large audience
at the Ursuline Academy yesterday
afternoon. A number of local artists
were present and were greatly pleas
ed with the lecture. and with the ex-
hibit OF engravings accompanying it.
which included a rare mezzotint.
wood engravings from the original
block, and other fine specimens.
There was also an exhibit Of craving
tools. copper, and steel plates. half
tone plates, and etched plates, one Of
these etchings being the work ~
Father Brosman himself The same
lecturer will give a stereopticon talk
on color photography a week from
next Thursday.
Yesterdays lecture was illustrated
hy stereopticon views, showing old
and new processes OF reproduction Of
pictures. The speaker said that
modern work aimed at speed first: an
event can be shown pictorially i'm a
newspaper a couple OF hours after It
happens, because the process is pure
ly mechanical. In early times. an
engraver spent months over single
picture. It took an engraver nine
years to reproduce the Dresden Ma
donna satisfactorily, because the
work was all by hand. Much of the
artistic feeling is lost IN modern
work. he said, because of the mechan-
ical process.
Copper engraving. said the speaker,
was one OF the earliest processes. but
because OF the softness OF the metal
only a few prints could be made. and
steel engraving was introduced rs
paying the publisher better All en-
cravings started from the cutting

There are sections IN northern Wis
cousin where cut-over pine lands can
be had at as low as s. per acre. and
for those who are looking for home
on the land they ought to be worth
looking into. The soil is for the most
part sandy, and while small grains do
not thrive creps Of early corn, pota-
toes, clover and fruits do well. The
country is one in which dairying could
be carried on with advantage and

 Alumni Association Formed

As result of campaign carried on among the negroes of this district, eS0.71 has been collected to go to. the fund for the improvement of Book CT Washington's Tuskegee institute and a considerable amount more will prob ably be contributed.
 c. c. Simmons. representative of the institute, is in charge of the work. He has been visiting nearly every southern city of importance and says he has been very successful in enlist ing the interest of negro citizens in the cause of aiding Tuskegee. Two meetings were held here this week, one at the First Congregational church, colored, corner Seventh avenue and Fifteenth street, Monday night, and the other at the Petty African Methodist church, Bessemer.
