Magic circles did not go out with the

railway concession IN China have drawn
circle about Canton across which no
foreign railway may pass without their
consent 1t is simply belt line Of rail-
way on the outskirts Of the city, with
branches running 10 the suburbs. The
French and English holders Of railway
concessions must make terms with the
Americans before they can lay their
tracks across the belt line. In the Unit
ed States the courts usually make short
work Of such distractions. but the magic
IS likely to work in China for several
years yet Meantime the French and
English railway men are admiring the
alertness Of their competitors from this
country.

Foster and Hanna.

Volney w. Foster, at whose request
bills have been introduced in congress
to provide for arbitration OF labor dis
putes is assistant treasurer of the Re-
publican national committee. No one
connected with the committee has been
a more ardent admirer of the late Sen
ator Hanna, who was chairman of the
committee, than Foster. Foster was
not the choice of Hanna, but the sena-
tor learned to appreciate the assistant
treasurer during the last campaign.
There is an interesting story about
the manner In which Foster was
chosen 1t was found necessary to
have an assistant treasurer, and Pres
ident Mckinley suggested Foster to
Hanna. The chairman sent for Fos-
ter in Chicago and said:
Mckinley wants you for assistant
treasurer. l know half a dozen men
In Chicago that I would rather have,
but as you are McKinley's choice
have appointed you"
"Well. you are delightfully."- compli-
mentary," reported Foster. IF it were
you that wanted me I wouldn't touch
the place, but want to do something
for Mckinley, and am going to serve
him In the place he wants me whether
you like 1t or not"
Before the campaign was over these
two men who began their association
rather inauspiciously became the best
of friends.

About $50 A. ID. a hospital was found
ed by Valens and richly endowed by
him at Cesarea, and another at Rome
by Fabiola, wealthy Roman widow,
for the reception of the sick poor.
Basil is said by Gregory, the pres
byter to have built a large hospital
for lepers with money collected for the
purpose. The Hotel Dieu in Paris
founded in the seventh century, and
two founded in 1880 by Lanfranc,
archbishop of Canterbury, were both
connected with monastic establish
