The announcement that the extension
of the foreign concessions at Shanghai,
China, has been finally approved brings
to close diplomatic controversy be-
tween Great Britain and the United
States and France which at times be-
came rather acute, France taking the
position at one stage of the negotiations
that the cooperation with the British
in opposing the French plan of exten.
sion was an unfriendly act toward
France This and the other differences
have been happily adjusted, according
to announcements from China, which
are borne out by the information of of.
ficlals here.
The acquisition of the Danish West
Indies by the United States before the
end of the Fifty sixth congress, and
perhaps before the end of the present
session, is regarded as certain by officials
well informed as to the attitude of both
Denmark and the United States gov
ernment i'll the matter. Denmark is
willing to sell and the United States
willing to buy. and in addition to this
there are certain circumstances which,
in the opinion of the officials concerned.
will etfectually dispose of any>opposi-
ton to the purchase in the American
congress. 1t has been made clear to
this government that the Danish gov
ernment has definitely decided to dis.
pose of its West Indian possessions
without any great delay, and while the
United States has been given first choice,
Denmark has let it be understood that
failing to make bargain with this
country she will seek purchaser else

PRAcTICED BY ANCIENTS.
The Corner stone of Rome's Rebuilt
Capitol Was Laid with
Great Ceremony.

Lanciarni. the Roman archaeologist,
has discovered that it was the custom
in old Rome To lay the corner stone of
a public building with elaborate cere-
monies. and he cites proof that this
was a universal practice in the ancient
world. At the laying of the corner
stone when the capitol of Rome was
rebuilt a processiosl of vestal virgins
robed in white surrounded the stone
and consecrated it with libations of
water. \ prayer 10 the gods followed
and then the magistrates. priests. SEN
atOrs and knights laid hold of he ropes
and moved the mighty stone to its prop
or position. In "A hollow cut in the
stone were placed ingotS of gold, sill
YER and other metals which had not
been melted i'm any furnace. With the
Jtws the corner stone was considered
an emblem of power. and they also
performed ceremonies AT it's layin In
medieval times the rite was taken mp
by the Order Of Free Masons and has
by them been brought down TO mod

laying corner stone stone is symbol

ovERAwED THE STRIKERS.
Thompson showed Them That He
Was n Dead Shot and VIO-
Ience Ceased.

"Wheneyer | read of strike riots"
said a civil engineer recently. accord
ing to the New York Sun. 81 recall
a small one that | witnessed years
ago which was an object lesson. This
strike was ordered in big coal yard
on the lower west side of town. which
was owned by friend of mine whom
may call thompson. Thompson was
not big man. but he was an expert
revolver shot II was his pet fad
and he spent lot of time and burned
much powder to- perfect himself in it.
He could hit coins thrown in the air
and do all the well-known tricks with
a revolver. In his coal yard were em-
ployed % or 30 husky coal handlers
and when they were ordered on strike
they started in to make trouble at
once.
Thompson engaged new gang of
men and sent them round to his yard.
but they were beaten off by the strilk-
ers. Several very serious assaults oc-
Cured there on the first day of the
trouble and Thompson was warned to
stay away II he valued his life He
sent back word that they might ex-
pect him early the next morning and
that he wanted TO see ali oI the strik-
ers in his yard to talk TO them. The
gang assumed that this meant capita
lation on his part and they celebrated
accordingly, Thompson invited me TO
go to the yard with him next morn
ing and see the fun. We found the

confident. Thompson told the men TO
stand at one side OF the yard. They
obcyed. wondering what he proposed
to do. He stepped over to the side
of a big shed and with a piece of
chalk drew roughly the outlines of a
man. Walking back about so feet he
said 10 the strikers:
"'I understand that YOU have han
died some men pretty roughly in this
neighborhood and You threatened to
do me up If | didn't yield. Now,

interfere with them
"The strikers were ugly at this un-
expected statement. but before they
could advance Thompson pulled his
revolver and fred five shots as fast
as he could pull the trigger. Every
shot went into the head of the man
drawn with chalk. He loaded his re-
volver and put next five shots into
the chest OF the chalk man. Then re-
loading his revolver he turned to the
strikers and said:
Now, YOU .oafers, get ont OF here.

They did clear out and when the

the walk to meet them. Not one of

til the time is ripe for the sale of town
lots the wise farmers prefer to hold
their property as farming land.
As farming land they are required
to pay taxes on a valuation of from
ST5 to 500 per acre. II a subdivision
had been announced, and the property
put on the market in town lots the
valuation would be doubled many
times. But while the subdivision of
these farms has not been announced
yet. the work OF such a subdivision has
been practically completed. Streets
have been laid out by the planting of
long double rows Of young trees, which
will add much 10 the value of the prop
erty within few years. Between
these rows of trees roadways are be-
ing built, and in the blocks formed
by this process there are planted
crops OF corn. OF wheat, of oats and
other agricultural products. and the
man who plants them is the typical
