Seymour's ships, took possession OF
Egypt and drove its wedge from the
north to the south. Gordon was de-
serted by Mr.. Gladstone and killed at
khartum, but Kitchener avenged his
death. So the British wedges from the
north and the south were pushed on
until they almost met, and from Cairo
to the Cape" was the rallylng cry of
those who were exploiting the lark
continent. On the northeast coast
England drove in another little wedge
from Somallland, and on the east coast
one from British East Africa.

London correspondents state that
after twenty-five years of bankruptcy
Americas first colony, Liberia, is now
rehabilitated, the interest on its pub
lie debt being paid. In 1871 Liberia
ioated loan of 100000, chiefly in
England, but three years later the lit
tie republic failed to meet the interest,
and this condition of affairs has pre-
vailed ever since, until now Liberals
fiscal agents in London have an
nounced that the government is once
more able to meet its obligations. This
step was rendered feasible by a new
source of revenue derived from rubber,
and the interest which the bondholders
despaired of getting is now being paid
from the royalties turned into the gov
eminent of the republic by the Lii
berian rubber syndicate, an essentially
English concern. The development of
the rubber industry in Liberia has at
tracted considerable attention, which
has not confined itself to the CONNER
icial aspect, and there is likely to be
in the near future diplomatic activity
in relation to the status of Liberia.

The year 1900 will offer consider
able rang of choice to persons inter-
ested in anniversaries pertaining to
literary men whose claim to remem-
brance is indisputable. Scholars will
have the five hundredth anniversary
of the death of Chaucer in mind, and
will repair with fresh delight to that
well of English undefyled." Richard
Hooker, the English divine, will have
been dead three centuries. His dis
itinction had the added felicity of win
ming Izak Walton's pen to record its
fullness The centenary of Cowper's
death is to be numbered with the
notable days in the new year. Many
/. to whom his works may not otherwise
appeal will be grateful for the
spiritual refreshment which they owe
to his devotional writing. On the other
hand, the centenary of Macaulay's
birth will be commemorated, at least by
special recollection, by the large COM
pany who are his debtors because when
he wrote history, the poets imagina-
ton kept dullness at distance. There
will be other days and names for end
of-the-century mention which good
readers and good listeners will not
forget.

In my last items" | told how
our people could save money in
construction of dwellings. Now
as to occupancy. Tenant DWELL
ings and contents are charged 81
per 100 extra on account of the
increased hazard, people are more
careful of their own home than
they are of other peoples pro-
perty. Renters in Ardmore are
largely transitory. They some
times take out insurance and when
they want to move find it more
convenient and profitable to take
the proceeds of policy than the
household goods. So far this
year tenant dwellings have proved
improbable to the companies.
Another hazard is a gasoline
engine and for the use of which
the companies make an extra
charge. For instance the old rate
On the Pennington & Story build
ing was 2 per cent. When the gas
oline engine was put in the rate
was raised to 3 per cent, which
say on $15, 900 carried onibullding
and contents, makes quite a tax.
But even at this increased rate the
man who would 90 without insur-
ance is certainly not wise. We
have city law to investigate all
fires. Since Feb. l, we have had
13 fires and only one was investi-
gated. 1t is evident that incen-
diaries have not much fear from
our city officials. The insurance
companies will not prosecute any
one, they simply get their money
back by increasing rates.

!. A visit to the office of the town
site commission yesterday afternoon
developed the fact that the big map
of Ardmore is practically finished,
only the cemetery plat and the GER
tificate remaining to be done.
W. g. Rawles, the efficient
draughtsman of the commission,
has Just finished a description of
the map containing all information
necessary Cor the department at
Washington as also askeleton out
line of the town ON a small scale.
showing the townships. ranges and
sections covered or touched by the
city. He is justly proud of his
work, for it is q fine piece of scien-
tific drawing.
The town lies principally in town
ship r 5 E, though it also ex-
tends into township 5. The town.
site embraces 226O.O6 acres includ-
ing railway lands. of which there
are 43 96 acres. The town contains
559 blocks and almost innumerable
lots, the latter having never been
counted. Col. johnson has re-
ceived instructions from the de-
partment to secure and report the
angles of every block in the town,
and this will necessitate a further
delay of a few weeks, as a special
survey of every street crossing will
be necessary to ascertain these an
giles.
While this work is being done
Mr.. Rawles will be engaged in the
Office in tracing the finished map
on tracing linen, the department
having also directed this to be
done. When this is completed the
map will be ready to send to Wash
ingIon for approval.
