AN ALLY OF ENGLAND.
United States Interested In Maintain
ing Integrity Of China.

Washington. Dec 2S.-So far as can
be learned here, the conflicting claims
between the French government and
the United States government at
Shanghai, China, do not involve any
broad question relating to the acquisi-
ton of large tracts of China by France.
1t may be stated as to the broader
question of territorial extension in
China that without entering into any
formal compact with Great Britain on
this subject, our government is deeply
interested in maintaining the integrity
of China, and as Engiand's policy seems
to lie in the same direction, she will
thus receive the moral influence of
our attitude. which may be as effective
as formal joint action. The particular
interest of our government in this mat
ter is to maintain the open market for
American goods in China.

IDEAL SITE OF COLLEGE.
Finely Situated and Well Adapted to
Academical Needs.

The site of the college is a most
charming one, and especially well
adapted for its purpose. It is bounded
by streets on the east, north and west
sides. and extends several blocks to the
south, the south half being some thirty
feet lower than the north half, on
which the buildings are located,
rather steep incline connecting the high
and low land. This fortunate circum-
stance at once secures for the buildings
and grounds perfect drainage ana a
splendid view over a large portion of
beautiful Cache valley.
At present there are only two school
buildings on the college grounds, but
it is the intention TO build a large main
building between the two, connecting
all three by covered corridors, and thus
making the institution one of the most
complete Of its kind in the state.
The new building just dedicated is
on the northwest corner of the

The response by DR.. Millspaugh was
touching in the extreme. He had oc-
cupied a position directly in front Of
stand, upon which Prof Morton ele-
waited when he made the presentation
speech. As the latter handed the token
over to the superintendent there was
a silence and then after few mo-

make an address to you this evening"

Provision is also made for five rooms

There are two entrances to the build

oak stairways lead from each entrance
to attic and basement, facilitating exit
in case Of fire or panic. Numerous fire
hose reels are distributed throughout
the building. The entire structure is
heated by direct steam, and a vent from

The lighting is done by electricity.
The assembly hall is lighted by sixty

handsome design, and in the assembly
hall massive electroliers give a finish

When completed, the building will
cost $4,000, a sum of money well spent

the opposing teams but tine errors made
by the eighteen players had more to DO
with the winning and losing of the game
than the pitching.
Jack DoyIe's error in the first part of the
game, coupled with few hits, allowed the
Senators to score four runs but Jack came
to the rescue later on with double, after
the side should have been retired and
drove the run over the plate that was need

This canine curiosity is. appropriately

has named his pet. is of the Schipperke

dentist discovered him a year ago while

many good points. which counterbalanced
TO some extent, his misfortune in being al

So the idea occurred to Mr.. Moseley to
nroyid, the dog with d substitute TOR his
lost msstjcators. and after ten Gays of
what Mr.. MOseleS describes as the most
difficult work he ever did the operation
was successfully performed. one can well
believe the task was not an easy one. The
smailnrSS OF the teeth is amazing. They
are quite haIf-a-dozen to the inch--less
than half the size of the smallest teeth
made. The filing down of each tooth occu-
pied two hours. and az there are twenty
four teeth the reader will not need to be
told tina, the grinding was a weary task.
There was great risk Of breakage In shap-
Ing the teeth. and Mr. MOseley declares
that he put in more hard work and took
more skin OFF his dnger-tips in shaping
thosr teeth than in a whole year of or
dindry work
Myn Duivel was. OF course. chlororormed

taken OF the dogs mouth. a necessary pra-
caution. against which the animal revoited

solved. metal dies were cast from the
models. and tiny platinum plates Of double,
thickness were struck to fit each taw. The
OUTLAY involved was considerable, the tools
used being specially made. One me chanic
was engaged on the case constantly for
nearly a fortnight. The result Is however
eninently satisfactory. and the teeth un-
douhtelE save the dog much needless pain.
