8 eat Sum Of Foreign Securities Held In
England and France.


England and France.
The reported valuation of all proper
~ in the United States by the census Of
1890 was 500. 037, 09l. 1877, or 81, 036 per
capita for the entire population. This
enumeration, however. dealt with prop
erty located in the United States and
did not go into the question where it is
owned If the estimate of Mr.. Robert
Giffen is correct, that So, 600, 600, 600
In foreign capital was invested in this
country in 1880, probably an even lar
ger amount is so invested at the present
time. Deduction should also be made
for the high value put upon waste pub
lilo lands in the census, with the net re-
suit that the per capita valuation OF the
United States would be reduced to
about $3.50 or 81, $50 for family OF
FIVE Estimates made by careful econ
omists, who come pretty near agree
ment among themselves, put the valu-
alton of Great Britain about nine years
ago at 500, 600, 000 900 and that of
France at $40, 900, 900, 900. This would
afford a per capita valuation of 81, 1898
making the valuation for family OF
five Sc, 600 in Great Britain SO, 400 in
France. The figures of France are
placed higher by some authors, and the
total in both countries includes careful
estimates of the large holdings of for
eign securities, some of them covering
property located in the United States.

ties, estimated to amount in Great Brit
ain to about IS, 900, 900, 900, explain to
large extent the adverse balance OF
foreign trade constantly shown by the
British statistics. Great Britain would
long ago have been denuded Of her gold
and become bankrupt if the excess OF i'm
ports over exports shown by her trade
| statistics were true measure OF heI
| financial condition. The fact that about
| $40O, 900, 900 is due her annually in
interest charges upon British capital
| placed abroad explains how she can at
ford to import several hundred million
pounds sterling of foreign merchandise
in excess of the domestic merchandise
which she exports France is estimated
to hold 81, 900, 900, 900 Of foreign securi
ties, largely Italian and Spanish, ant
she also has been able to show larg'
balance of imports of merchandise owe
exports during the last two decades
while piling up in the vaults Of the Banl
of France and distributing through he
monetary circulation a larger mass
coin than any other commercial coun

THE END SEAT IN THE PEW.
It Is the Place Occupied by the Protector
of the Family.

cit is common enough" said Mr..
Gratebar, "to see man sitting In the
aisle end of a pew in church get up on
the arrival Of some other member OF the
family, step out into the aisle to let the
late conner in, and then resume his seat
at the end of the pew. 1t seems to me
that have read that this custom origi-
mated in New England in the early
DAYS. when the men all sat by the aisle
SO that they could seize their guns and
get out promptly in case of attack by
Indians. We don't have much to fear
from Indians nowadays, but the seat by
the aisle is still occupied by the head OF
the family. He stands in the aisle while
the others pass in, and then calmly
takes his place in tho end seat, at the
head Of the line, as sort of general
protector.
Sometimes in these days, we arc so
very free from Indians now, the head Of
the family thinks it is safe for him to
stay at home when be has headache.
and then the young son takes his place.
| | imagine that he talks it over with his
mother on the way to church, so that it
is all understood. When they get to the
! new. he stands in the aisle while his sis
tiers and his mother pass in. fancy that
his sisters are rather glad when they are
, all seated and no longer conspicuous,
! but upon his mother S face as she brushes
past him into the pew there is smile
of affectionate pride. and then he takes
his seat in his fathers place and sits
there with fine boyish dignity. ="

Charles I'll. Yale's Devils Auction" was
nr,sented at the Armory Opera House
,ost evening to an audience that COM
nlsteIv filed the hall. The company Is
arst.class in every respect and fulfilled in
every particular the promises made to
tbe local manager and through him to
the patrons OF the house. As a perform
ance of the kind it was the most metro
nolitan ever given in Houghton and il
the good reception given this company
,s repeated at Marquette this evening" will
assure the Upper Peninsula circuit OF
houses other first-class attractions that
are but waiting the result OF the present
visit.
The "Deyirs Auction" is piece OF only
enough plot to serve as yehiclefor innu-
merable specialties dancesand clever pieces
Of work. The spectacular and burlesque
is freely mingled with close attention
to detail OF each. : In the spectacular
effects the costuming was elaborate and
the performers were capable OF some
thing artistic and worth looking at on
that account. Many OF the burlesque
features were new, notably the WEARY
Willie" chorus, the aerial grotesque and
the trials of the trolley car conductor
The features OF the evening were toe
numerous to particularize upon, but one
that was seen here for the first time wal
the trick bicycle riding. The comediennt
Miss Mayme Mayo was full OF ginger anc
in her own particular speciality in the sec
ond act was recalled twice and AGAR
alter the drop had gone up on another
scene was she forced to repeather chorus
The smallness of the stage necessltatet
the leaving out OF several scenes, nota
bly, the REVOLVING change to scene two IL

The local management is very mucl
pleased both with the artistic and final
cial success of it's venture for it will paw
the way to the coming OF hrst-clas
attractions i'm the future. 1t Ia almos
