race welcome the competition and will be
heard on the march"
Il don't know of thing which gives an
American so much pleasure in touring
Europe" explained a recently returned
tourist to Star reporter. AS the universal
recognition Of the superiority of this coun-
try as machine maker. our bicycles, our
typewrifers and our sewing machines are
admitted in parts of the world to be vastly
superior to any made. The same holds
good as to our agricultural machinery, ele-
vators. scales and the like. The English
and Germans are extensive manufacturers
in the same lines. but they have not the
knack of turning them out with the light
ness of our manufacturers. 1t is a severe
task to run the German sewing machines,
and almost as hard work to operate the
typeWriters or propel their bicycles. The
same can be said of the English. We are
now not only outdoing them in the manu-
fa"turC Of watches III this country, but aC-
tually invading their country with manu-
facturers. and already there are two Ameri-
can watch manufacturing concerns estab-
hShcd in England. They We're put up by
English capital, it is true. but all the plant
was made in this country. shipped there
and put up by American mechanics.
There seems to be no reason why they
will not succeed. for from all appearances
Just as good american Wa lcntS are no"
being made in England as in this country.
They are practically American watches,
though made there. for every detail about
them is distinCtively American. In dentis-
try, go. Americans admittedly lead the
world All through the big cities of Eng
land. Germany. Italy. Russia and even in
Spain, signs are cOnspCgoU1iy placed on
many dentists door plates that they do
American dentistry I saw a sign of that
kind six weeks ago on several doors in
Athens, Greece. and few weeks before in
Cairo and other cities in Egypt This con-
stantly appearing sign is a matter of very
much qualification To Americans. As tar
as London is concerned there is hardly any
drinking place that does not display the
sign American drinks. and Americans are
by no means their only customers. for the
londonerS know a good thing when they
see and taste 1t. as quick ~ any person,
and they seem to like the innovation a
well as the drinks. | asked Il Spanish dem
list in Madrid some weeks ago if his sign
American dentistry fnterfered in any way
IN ms business, whether the sign did not
excite some feeling or prejudice but he
told me 1t seemed to have the exact Oppo-
site effect that of late the Spanish people
mad been furnished with some evidence of
the power Of American things generally.
and that they wanted the hest and lust
now they thought anything American was
good. even If they did not like it,"

Last Saturday evening tho Grand

ment. The announcement OF their inten-

house, the county being represented all
the way from Tofte to Grand Portage.
The performance was in all respects q
success and the audience were unan-
imous in expressing the opinion that it
was we'll worth attending. Where every
one did so we'll it would be impossible to
pick out one for especial commenda tion
A visitor, John Eliasen of Rowland, as
sisted the club by rendering violin solo
in his accustomed finished style. DR..
Jones made few Introductory remarks
commencing the Social Club for their
thoughtfu'ne in providing the enter

NO SUCCESSION.

By the death of Mr.. Hobart the Of
flee OF Vice President OF the United
states becomes vacant for the rest of
pretident McKinley's term as the law
provides no succession. A President
pro tempore of the Senate will be
elected by that body when Congress
assemblies, who will hold the Office uu-
I'll March, 1901. By the law the sue
cession to the Presidencf of the Unit
ed States in the event of vacancy, falls
upon the Vice President, and in the
event of the latter's death to the Sec
rotary of the Treasury, then the Secre-
tary of War and down through the
list of Cabinet officers in order to pre-
cedence fixed by act OF Congress when
the death of Vice President Hendricks
disclosed the necessity of such pro-
vision.
Senator VIM, p. Frye, of Maine, is
now President pro tempore of the SEN
ate. He will call that body to order
when it assemblies on December 4 and
preside until a successor is chosen.
That he will succeed himself is gener-
ally conceded.
