Britain to describe the boundary line
between British North America and
this new United States possession.
The treaty provided that the boundary
line shall follow the mountain ridge
parable with the coast. if there be one
not more than 80 marine miles from
the coast, and if there be none, it shall
be drawn arbitrarily at that distance
from the coast, following the windings
thereof. This treaty was originally
framed without an adequate ex-
ploration and survey of the territory
involved, and it turned out that there
was no mountain range running with
in that distance and parallel to the
coast. So the United States drew an
arbitrary line 80 miles from the coast,
holding that the word coast as used
in the treaty meant the edge of lne
mainland and that all the windings of
the line between the headlands six
miles or more apart should be fol-
lowed. The Canadians, however, as
soon as gold was discovered in large
quantities in this territory, raised the
controversy by insisting that coast
meant the outermost edge of the
outermost fringe of islands from which
the 80 miles should be measured in
land, and that the coast line should not
follow the windings, but run boldly
from headland to headland."

A DINNER TO THE BEAUTIFUL.

A young American millionaire who
is astonishing Paris by his reckless ex-
travagance lately gave a dinner to
beautiful women. All the guests
there were some $50 of them-are
noted in greater or less degree, and
they were chosen for their good looks
alone. Actresses predominated, of
course. It is said that the feast cost
$4,000. He entertained his bevy of
famous beauties at restaurant on the
Champs Elysees which is the most ex-
pensive in Europe, kept by a man
who was once chef in the palace Of the
car The decora lions, the wines, and
the food were selected with sole view
of their cost, and in this the proprie-
tor sided heart and soul with the en-
thusiastic young person who was to
pay the bill If it had been possible to
serve a dish of stewed nightingales'

DONE AS it was, the youth had the
satisfaction of knowing that more
expensive dinner could not possibly be
provided. The souvenirs came from
the most famous jewelers.. -London

AUTOMOBILES TO REPLACE
STAGES.

It is probable that one or more au-
tomobile lines will be established in
the western part of Virginia. The
feasibility of the scheme is to be con-
sidered by the Chesapeake and Ohio at
an early date, and it is believed that
either the railroad company will Oper-
ate the line or that local companies
in the west will run automobiles to
connect with the Chesapeake and Ohio.
The promoters of the scheme contend
that if they can obtain the cross
country mail contracts at one or two
mediately on the railroad that the pas
senger business now held by hacks can
be easily secured and the success of
the automobile scheme assured. There
is but one automobile line in the
south. It is in western North Caro-
lima, and connects an important coun-
ty seat with branch Of the Southern
railway, and is said to be paying well.
The terminals of the North Carolina
automobile inc are in the mountains,
and several hours are required by
horse to traverse the distance. Horses
cannot average more than three miles
an hour with load, but the automo-
biles have been making 20 and 20
miles over the same roads. In west
ern Virginia, it is urged, there are a
number of important towns situated
from to 20 miles from railroad lines,
and these, if the scheme were properly
promoted, would Willingly furnish the
necessary capital for conducting the
new nterprise.-Richmon News.

1t has always been conceded that no
ordinary paint equalled an enamel for

former does not give the beautiful,

THE SHOW FOR THE POOR MANS
SON.

Some people say that the poor
mans boy doesn't stand any show.
remarked Congressman Dolliver, at
Lincoln Park, as reported by the
Jewell Republican, which continues as
follows; "There never was worse
mistake, Mr.. Dolliver said. He had
himself hepled to make a. list of all
the very eminent men and women Of
New York city; all the great mer-
chants, great authors, euItors, physi-
clans, presidents Of banks and rail
roads, statesmen, philanthropists,
ministers every name we'll known in
the city Of New York, and out of the
whole lot only one had been born in
the city. The rest had walked in from
the rural districts. The poor man S
son, Dollivers says, is the only one Jnat
has any show. The son of the rich
man never did and never will have a
show. The reason is easy to find.
There can be no high attainment with
out great effort, toll and denial.
Whatever simply floats, floats down
stream. 1t is only the live things
that work up the stream. The rich
mans son sees no need of bestirring
himself. A boy reared in luxury will
not work. He curls up axe a dog on
the doorstep, and the toiler from the
field passes him by. Only. one rich
man ever became President of the
United States. Dolliver says he has
himself examined the will of George
ington's own estimate, he was worth
at the time Of his death, a million
dollars. All the other Presidents were
comparatively poor men. If you have
a boy and 100000, Dolliver advised
keep them apart. It will be better for
both OF. them

THERE ARE OTHERS.

The yellow fends in heather lands
We're bitterly denouncing,
And ships and men are being sent
To give them all trouncing.
Child, man, and woman they have
slain,
They've caused wide devastation,
And all the countries civilized
Are stirred by indignation.
Though they are base and ignorant,
And swayed by superstition,
We hold them strictly to account
For murder and sedition.
Their awful deeds can't be condoned,
For theirs is crime appalling,
And all the nations civilized
For full redress are calling.
But in a nation civilized,
Down in the Crescent city,
White mobs have swept along the
streets
And slaughtered without pity.
There men and women they have
killed
Though guiltless of wrongdoing,
And dusky hue upon a face
Was signal for pursuing.
Atrocities in heather lands
Arouse just indignation,
But nearer to us now are crimes
Of white mems instigation.
For mobs in land that's civilized
Have murdered sires and mothers,
And yellow fiends can to them point
And say that there are others.
