GUESTS OF SECRETARY HAY.
Boer ENJOYS Entertained by the Head
of the State Department.

BOer ENJOYS Entertained by the Head
of the State Department.
Secretary Hay entertained the Boer dele
gates at luncheon yesterday. The affair
was purely personal compliment extended
by the Secretary. and had not even a social
significance. His son, Adelbert Hay, the
present United States consul at Pretoria.
has been treated with the greatest courtesy
and consideration by the Beers. not only
officially but personally. and perhaps 1t was
a remembrance Of this fact that induced the
Secretary to endeavor to reciprocate in this
manner. The party was small. Besides the
Secretary and his family there were pres
ent the delegates. Mrs FISCHER. wife Of the
leader of the delegation; DR.: HUI. the as
sistant secretary Of state, and a few ladies.
intimate friends Of the Secretary's family.
Representative Sulzer. after q consultation
with the Boer ENJOYS last night, announced
that some time next week, the exact date
not having been determined on. the COM
rndssioners would make q visit to Boston.
apd after that go west. Their preeTam is
stiu incomplete, but Ia expected to be ready
for public announcement IN day or two.
It was also stated that the ENJOYS might
I'd to Baltimore Sunday to attend a public
meeting In that oity in their honor.

FAMOUS MASON AND DIXON LINE

The legislature of Maryland has ap- survey of Mason and Dixons line. and the restoration of the land marks. many of whom have been removed con . trary to scripture. This work will be done by the state geological cOmmis- sion, in connection with d commission appointed and paid by the state gov ernment of Pennsylvania and by the United State geological survey
 The original running of Mason and DiXon's line was done according to the terms of the final agreement between the calverts and Penns, concluded in lI6J afEer prOtracted negoti ltions There was conflict in the grants of Maryland and Pennsylvania The Penns had friends at court and Calvert was finally coerced into cOacading ev- erything the Penns demanded, and this concession of his cost him the richest part of his domain. The line between Maryland and Pennsylvania was be- gun in 1760 by a commission appointed for that purpose. The proprietors of the two colonies became impatient at their slow progress and agreed to en- gage Charles Mason and James Dix on to complete the work. Both Penn and Calvert were in London at Ehe time and they then engaged these two men, whose names have become so famous in connection with this historic line for so many years the dividing line be- tween the free states and the slave states of the union.
 The two surveyors arrived in Phi!a- delphia Nov. 15. 1764, and began their survey early the following spring Through the forests they cut a vista eight feet wide and set up a stone at the end of each mile. Every fifth stone was larger than the others and had on the north side the arms of Thomas and Richard Penn, and on the south Side the arms of Frederick Lord Baltimore. One of these is preserved in Baltimore by the Maryland Historical society, and some yet stand in their original places and are cared for by the au- thorities. The intermediate stones are smaller and have the letter "P" on the north side and the letter M" on, the south side.
 The removal of many of the historic land marks has left the boundary line between Maryland and Pennsylvania in doubt in places. and it is to remedy this as well as to perpstuate the historic line that the legislature has provide for this rcsurvey. Baltimore Sun.

PORTABLE SCHOOLHOUSES.

Ten experimental portable wooden Schoolhouses are to be set up in diff erent parts of the congested districts of Boston. Last year all who wished could not be provided for in the school houses, and chapels and stores were hired for their accommodation. It was hoped that all could be taken care of this year in new CT enlarged buildings, but the city council did not provide money. These ten portable buildings will accommodate 500 extra pupils bus it is thought that it will be neceS- sary to hire some stores. Contracts for the erection of the ten buildings will be let in a few days. and the builders must have them completed in time for the opening of school. The buildings are to be single sto- ried and identical in size and con- struction.
 The dimensions are to be 25x35 and 22 feet to the ridge pole, or II feat 10 inches in the clear. The floor is to be composed of twelve sections. the side walls twenty sections. and the rn six $ -ct!ons. Thus the structure Can be packed awany into small space wh n taken down.

A RECENT FRENCH COUP

The occupation of Adrar, the princi- pal city of the Touat Oasis, of North Africa by General Serviere, is consid- cred success for French arms of no Httle importance. General SerViere has now complete possession of three groups of Saharan oases. and this has been accomplished without striking q blow, and if he has been able to pene- trate the Iouat Oasis with the feeble escort at his command, it,would appelr that the French are masters of the re- zion stretching between Algiers Tun- isia, Tripoli and Morocco. Doubtless there will be struggles for nd5pend- ence on the part of the tribes, but one is able to foresee the day when the mo- mads will be forced to follow the fate of OtherS.-FrOm a Paris Lett=r.

COMPOSED.

Good stories come from the mining camps sometimes. The New York Fri bune is indebted for q new one to d traveller who had stopped over at Car son City, Nev., to look after his own claims.
 "A strike was recently made near Carson he said, and it turned ont to be one of such promise that d good sized camp soon sprung up around it. The two principal mine owners were respectively an Irishmans and Jew, and as a delicate compliment to these leading citizens. the rest of the min IFS left it to them to bestow a name upon the new camp.
 The two had many conferences bat could not reach an agreement, for the lrishman stood out for a name taken from the Emerald isle, while the Js W was for one that would be suggestive of the chosen people. The rest of the min CTS finally became restless. and threa at- ened to name the camp themselves if an end was not put to the delay. and this led the pair to compromise.
 They named the new camp 'Tippe- rusalem.'
