The investment of foreign capital in
American industries is increasing at a
rapid rate. Aside from the $50, 600, 00o
or more which English capitalists are
reported as having expended in the
purchase of breweries in the leading
cities, many millions of English capital
have been used to establish and develop
entirely new enterprises instance,
to open mines, build railroads, con
struct iron furnaces and steel works, lay
out cattle ranches. develop timber re-
sources and so on ad faitum. Some of
these investments have been very heavy;
in the vicinity of cumberland Gap, on
the line between southeastern Kentucky
and east Tennessee, $1,000, 900 has al.
ready been spent by the American AS
sooiation, limited, of London, in devel-
oping an iron, steel and railroad centre,
and $4,000, 900 additional has been sub
scribed for the further prosecution of
the work. Even on the Pacific coast
large manufacturing enterprises are be-
ing put under way by foreign capital.

Two of cold Hickory's" Slaves.

Two of General Jackson's old slaves
are still living ut the Hermitage. One
is sold Alfred" who has convinced
himself. and would like to convince all
who visit the plnce, that lie was the
body servant of his master. The truth
of history compcls tho statement that
Hannah's claims are, however, beyond
all doubt or controversy. They rest on
the solid foundation of fact. She was
trusted, confidential household servant
long before General Jackson became
President, and it was in her arms that
Mrs. Jackson died in 1928. Her age is
at least ninety five. When James Par
ton visited the Hermitage, about 1860,
he was struck by the great number of
vigorous old people whom he met, and
this sentence occurs in his "Life of
Jackson; "Old Hannah, for example,
whose care of the children Mt the Her
mitage Jackson extols, is now sixty.
