$. The people Of Maryland de.
serve the thanks Of the rest of
the country for restoring to it's
original condition the room in
the old, state house at Annapolis
in which Washington resigned
his commission as commander.
ln-chief Of the continental arm
les on December %, 1882, and in
which the treaty Of peace with
Great Britain was ratified on
january Il, 1884: The room re-
NAMED unchanged till 1888,
when it was refurnished and
most of the old furniture sold.
In 1858 the room was again fur
nlshed, and so me changes made:
Other changes in 1873, destroyed
all semblance to the room as
Washington knew it. With
Trumbulps painting of Washing
toms farewell and the memory
of men who had seen the old
chamber to guide the workmen,
the task of restoration has been
completed. The room is 80 feet
long, IS feet wide, and 20 feet
high. 1t is finished in the colo
NAL style. The walls are white
and the woodwork is green, the
original color. The presiding Of
6cer's chair stands on dais
backed by recess and sur
mounted by a Greek pertinent
resting on dqted columns. The
chair which Washington used
has been found, and it, with
many other of the original fur
nishings, is now within the room.

COMPULSORY INSURANCE,

How It Works Out in Practice With
Working People.
From 1885 to 1909 the sum of $780,.
100000 was expended by the various
insurance systems in Germany for the
restoration of the health Of working
men and their families. One-third OF
this sum was paid in by the employ
ers. There is no doubt, says Vice
Consul Schlemmer of Mannheim, that
it would have cost double if the men
had been compelled to pay everything
out Of their own pockets, the moder-
ate medical charges now being regu-
lated by these insurance laws. AS a
matter Of fact, people would not other
wise be able to spend SO much money
for medical treatment, and great
many would perish or be permanently
disabled for lack of proper treatment:
and the disabled ones would remain
permanent burden on the commun-
ity. It also appears that physical and
intellectual conditions of the laboring
classes generally have been greatly
improved by this protective insurance
system, as evidenced by the reduction
Of mortality at industrial centers,
which now is only Fl per 1000 inhabi-
tants, again 271A before the law took
effect. Although food products are
much higher in price than formerly,
consumption has increased in quantity
six per cent per capital, showing that
the buying power of the people has
been greatly increased through the in
surance funds and higher wages.

IN ONE GRAIN OF CORN.
Golden Treasure That May Germin-
ate in the State of Nebraska
Alone.

Last year was big corn year
in Nebraska. On 6,472,4S7 acres
the yield was 243, 713, pa bushels
or an average of more than
81 - bushels to the acre. But
the average during the past ten
years has been only about 80
bushels, says Worlds Work.
Moreover. it is, a reasonable hope
that, with the proper attention
to the single grain Of corn, the
crop of the state should within
another ten years average go
bushels to the, acre. In other
words, the state, through the
young professors, reasonably
hope to increase the yearly pros
periity of her people BY some
thing like $S0,000,0Q0 or >$90,000,-

ELECTRIC S \ IN ! CHM a.
Company Organized to Build Trolley
Road from Which White Men - = >
>:ss2 d. Are Barred. :.

Mr.. Linn Dat, a successful Chi
nese merchant of Victoria, B. c.,
has organized among his coun'
trymen located in British Column
bia a $2,O00,0O0 company to con
''struct an electric trolley railway
in China from Canton to San
iWu, a distance of 60 miles. No
white men need apply for stock.
as their presence in the company
would forfeit the charter from
the Chinese government. The
route of the proposed line is a
populous one, Canton having a
population of 100000 and San
WI 100000.
The prospectus of the new
company sets forth that there
are no serious Typographical diff
ticulties to be encountered in
building the line; that water
power will be obtained from the
Quail Tong Shun mountain, 80
miles from San WI; that now
there are p junks plying on the
river between these points, car
rying heavy cargoes and many
passengers; that it takes these
junks II hours to make the trip,
which the electric cars will make
in three hours. 1t is also stated
that the summer cars to be op-
'erated-the climate being warm
will each be equipped with so
horsepower motors. The plan is
to build the line entirely with
Chinese labor, even using Chi
nese electricians as far as pos
|sible.
1t is stated that the company
also intends to seek from the
city of Canton a concession of
the light and power privileges.
The streets there are so narrow
that some difficulty would be ex-
perienced in attempting to Sc
cure the franchise for a city
street railway system. although
this may be sought later. Alto
gcther it is a remarkable enter
prise to be organized and con-
trolled entirely by Chinese.
Mr.. Linn Dat. it's promoter. is
at the head of the leading Chi
nese mercantile firm in Victoria.
known as "Gim Fork Yuen."
They own large brick block,
conduct a department store, a
rice mill, and have several other
|>stores in British Columbia, as
we'll as a branch house in China.
Mr.. Dat, in 1895, invented and Sc
cured patent on an improved
device for electric rice mill ma
chinery, the first patent issued to
a Chinaman in British North
America. -

of urging the adoption of tie contract

April. In the meantime the board will

rebuffs to the president and the house.
But the house, under the gag rule of
the speaker and the committee on
rules, did not permit the consideration
of the statehood bill as we'll as other
important measures. There was no
opportunity for amendment, for DELHI
Grafton or for popular expression. The
senate, of course, has the right to
make such amendments as it deems
wise, and in so doing it does not nee
essarily take the position of being anti
administration.
Senator Heyburn's forest reserve bill
has not been reported by the committee
to the senate, and it is likely. that it
will be several days before report is
made upon it. The committee on for

fore final action is taken. 1t is under
stood that Senator Hepburn Intends to
appear before the committee and make
an argument in support of his bill.
