BRITISH INVESTMENTS.
Why John Bulls Surplus Capital Is Com.
ing to the United States.

Why John Bulls Surplus Capital Is Com.
ing to the United States.
The amount of money which has
within the last year or two come into
this country from England in the way
of investment is simply prodigious.
In few instances, such as the English
purchases of breweries, the opera
tons have been carried on in a
manner that has attracted public at
tentioni but we should say that this
was the exception, and that in the vast
majority of cases the investments made
have been personal ones and have
been made without attracting atten-
ton except in the immediate locality.
For long time past both English cap
ital and Englishmen have gone to the
West, the one to find investments in
improved agricultural properties or in
cattle ranches and the other TO enter
into American life as farmers, cattle
raisers and sometimes in mercantile
pursuits. But of late the set of the
tide seems to have been southwark,
and, according to recent reports,
English capital and Englishmen
are to be found, one in large
amounts and the other in considerable
numbers, in Southwestern Virginia,
Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, and in
other parts of that great central sec
ton of our Southern country, which, if
climate, accessibility and natural re-
sources count for any thing, is destined
to be the manufacturing center of the
United States, this being only another
form of saying the future workshop
OF the world. These foreign investors
have been drawn to this section by the
inducements held out, and by the many
opportunities of obtaining there larger
returns upon investments than can be
hoped for in the Old World. Since the
conversion of the English three per
cents under the national-debt CONVEX
sion act of 1888. those who were hold
ers of cOnsOls have been compelled to
content themselves with only %
per cent, and as in many instances
their incomes and outgoes have
UGH hACO yuan GIOlSS, Gu1S mas
implied the necessity of foregoing ac-
custOmed methods of life. Such in
vestors have been compelled to look
elsewhere for remembering invest
ments, and have found in the United
States industrial fields for the employ
ment of their money that they could
not find elsewhere. More than this.
there is a growing belief in England
that the United States is destined to be
the great country of the future; that
army-ridden Europe is indulging in
slow suicide, and that it is on this side
of the Atlantic that the Industrial
future of the world is to be found. So
thinking, it is but natural that those
who have spare funds should seek to
place them here rather than keep them
at home, and that young Englishmen
of intelligence and spirit, finding the
chances of life contracted in their own
densely-peopled country, should con-
clude that it was well for them to
throw in their lot with their kinsmen
in the New World. Chicago Journal.

DIED OF GRIEF.
A Circus Horse Lett Behind the Caravan
Expires of a Broken Heart.

A Circus Horse Left Behind the Caravan
Expires of a Broken Heart.
The emotional life of the horse is re-
markable. There are instances on
record where the death of the horse
has been traced directly to grief One
instance is called to mind which oc-
Cured more than twenty years ago. A
circus had been performing in the
little town of Unionville. Pa, when
one of the trained horses sprained one
of his legs so that he could not travel.
He was taken to the hotel and put in a
box-stall. The leg was bandaged and
= he was made as comfortable as posi-
ble He ate his food and was ap-
parentk contented until about mid
night, when the circus began moving
out of town. Then he became restless
and tramped and whinnied.
AS the caravan moved past the hotel
he seemed to realize that he was being
deserted, and his anxiety and distress
became pitiful. He would stand with
his ears pricked in an attitude. of in
tense listening, and then as his ears
caught the sounds of retiring wagons
he would rush, as best he could with
his injured leg, from one side of the
stall to the other, pushing at the door
with his nose and making every effort
to escape. The stableman, who was a
stranger to him, tried to soothe him,
but to no purpose. He would not be
cOmfOrted. Long after all sounds of
the circus had ceased his agitation con-
tinued. The sweat poured from him
in streams and he quivered in every
part of his body.
Finally the stableman went to the
house, woke up the proprietor and
told him he believed the horse would
die if some of the circus horses were
not brought back to keep him COM
pany. AT about daylight the prOprie-
tor mounted horse and rode after the
circus. He overlook it ten or twelve
miles away, and the groom who had
charge Of the injured horse returned
with him. When they reached the
stable the horse was dead. The stable
man said that he remained for nearly
an hour perfectly still, and with every
sense apparently strained to the ut
most tension, and then, without MAX
ing sign, fell and died with scarcely
a struggle.-Western Sportsman.

THOSE who have inclined to poke
fun at the Pan-American congress and
at Secretary Blaine as its godfather
are commended of the following from
the Waco Day:
1.-The first practical result of the Pan
American congress is the organization
Of company in this country, with a
proposed capital of 500, 600, 900, to con-
struct railroads and establish steam
ship lines making a complete connec-
ton between the United States and
all the Central and South American
pOrts in theAtlantic and Pacific coasts
From these ports it is expected finally
to build railroad lines into the int erior
of the continent, so that the en- tire
commerce of these nations will find
an outlet by a comprehensive system
which will give US at least equal ad-
vantage with Europe"
The Pap-American congress is only
fairly organized tor work as yet, its
real benefits like bread cast upon the
waters, will only be found after many
days. Out of that congress will come
a unity of American republics and a
community of commercial interests
that will practically despoil the old
world of her trade in the west.
