DecIared a Foreign Port.

The navy department has rendered a decision to the effect that the port of Tutuila, Samoan islands, is a for eign station and that vessels of the navy shall therefore give assistance to shipwrecked American seamen coming to their attention. A regulation of the navy provides that vessels of the navy may, "when on foreign station, receive on board distressed seamen of the United States" Recently Commander E. J. Dorn, stationed at Pago Pago, called the departments attention to the action of the United States con- sul general at Apia in raising the ques- ton whether shipwrecked American seamen should have been brought to Apia from Pago Pago, and Commander Dorn asked the department for de- cision as to whether Tutuila should be regarded as foreign station. The de- partment has so decided and American seamen will be given assistance at that port.

Al unexpected Honor.

The story is told of three Protestant ladies who walked into a Catholic church in Ireland during high mass. It was raining, and they had gone in for shelter. The priest, one of natures gentlemen, recognized the ladies, and, stooping down, said to an attendant; ssThree chairs for the Protestant la dies.'' It was a kindly thought, but the priest must have wished he had never thought it when the manstood up in the church and shouted: Three cheers for the Protestant ladies'" It was. over in a minute-the cheers were cheered and could not be called back; but it was one of the most uncomfortable mo- ments in the good priests life.

HUMBLE SANCTUARY.
Where President Roosevelt Will Worship While in Washington.
Grace Reformed Chapel, with a seat- ing Capacity of 125, Will He the Presidential Church for
 Some Years to Come.

The little chapel on the rear of a lot at the corner of Fifteenth and o streets, N. w., has been selected by President Roosevelt as his church in Washington. Rev. John. M Schinck, D. D., will be his pastor. The presi- dent is a member of the Dutch Re- formed church. The congregation which worships in the little chapel is of the German Reformed denomina- tion, but there is no difference in the tenets of faith of the two organiza- tions, and there is no Dutch Re- formed church in the city.
 President Roosevelt attended ser vice at Grace Reformed chapel, as the church is known, on the only Sunday he has spent in Washington since his inauguration. When President Roosevelt lived here as civil-service commissioner and as assistant sec retary of the navy he did not know there was aschurch of the denomina- tion of his belief in the city How he came to learn there was one is best told in the language of Dr. Schinck, who, in discussing the sub- ject, said:
 '.After the election, as I was read ing the papers about the congratu- lations extended to both the presi- dent and vice president, was struck by the fact that they were all from politicians and business men. None were reported from the clergy. at once sat down and wrote each a letter of congratulation. To MT. Roosevelt I communicated the fact of the existence of our little church, and welcomed him to worship with us. His reply was most hearty and cordial. He said he had believed there was no church of his faith in Wash ington and that he should accept the the invitation to attend
 ''On Sunday after the inauguration the vice president and his family came to the service in the chapel. I have called on him since and he has indicated that he will make the church his spiritual home in Washing ington."

One of the young fellows was thrown bodily from the yard over a picket fence into the gutter, and his companion attempted to bom- bard the house with rocks.

AMERIcAN1zArloN OF MEXICO.
Country Rich in Many Ways Almost Completely Neglected Until
 Recent Years.

It is strange that Mexico was not largely Americanized long ago, says the Philadelphia Bulletin. Here is a countSy which stands in the very frontfank in the matter of mineral resources. In her soil can be found in abundance silver, gold, copper, iron, coal, and, indeed, practically every desirable mineral that can be found in the United States. Mexico has population of about 100000, more than that of the Philippines, Hawaii, Guam, Porto Rico and Cuba combined; her political institutions are, nominally at least, much like our own; person and property are reasonably secure within her borders and her people are steadily increas- ing in intelligence.
 Yet this inviting field, which lies at our very doors, was almost com pletely neglected for years. We have been of late expending a vast amount of money in the hope of tranquilliz- ing and developing a group of islands, with semi-civilized population, on the other side of the globe. Mexican much in one year as the exports and imports of the Philippines do in seven.
 It is gratifying to note that there is now a disposition on this side of the border to make up for this neg lect. The more American capital there is invested in Mexico the closer the two republicans will be drawn to- gether. Whether this may result ulti- mately in political annexation is a problem for the future to solve, but it can hardly fail to make for the prosperity and advancement of both nations

TYPICAL SOUTH AFRICAN STORE

O. R. Larson, of Bay Villa, Sundays River, Cape Colony, conducts store typical of South Africa, at which can be purchased anything from the pro verbal needle to an anchor" This store is situated in valley nine miles from the nearest railway station and about twenty-five miles from the near est town. MT Larson says: T am favored with the custom of farmers within a radius of thirty miles, to many of whom I have supplied Cham berlain's remedies. All testify to their value in a household where a doctors advice is almost out of the question. Within one mile of my store the pop ulation is perhaps sixty. Of these, within the past twelve months, no less than fourteen have been absolutely cured by Chamberlain's Cough Rene dy. This must surely be a record. For sale by all druggists.

edifce vii seat but 150 persons, and the regular congregation taxes it to it's full capacity. Since Dr. Schinck became pastor of the church, in Feb ruary of last year, he has been ac- lively at work in an effort for the construction of a new building.

 The estimated cost for the new building is $30,000, and so far Dr. Schinck has pledges for little over one-third of that amount. It was the plan to have the corner stone laid next May, when the Chassis of Mary land-the ecclesiastical government of the denomination-will hold it's an nual meet in Baltimore.

 Dr. Schinck's eyes moistened as he discussed this point. T have an swered,'' he said, sthat I can't take advantage of the death of President Mckinley to build up my church. The matter will have to take it's regular course. As soon as the way is opened we will build."
