INVESTMENTS IN MEXICO.
Approximately $500, ,ooo, ,ooo Put Into Lands and Industries by
 @% Americans. ts

Americans have invested approxi- mately 00,O00,O0 in Mexico during the past 25 years, small amount in comparison with the total wealth of the country, but that $500, 100000 has accomplished more during that time for the development of Mexico than all the rest of the capital of the country, reports the Review of Reviews.
 We have invested $75,0O00OO in Mex ican mines-an incidentally have got the money back in payment for mining machinery sold to the Mexicans. But we have taught Mexico modern mining methods, and have thereby increased the aggregate value of Mexican mines probably hundredfold
 We have invested $25, 5000, 900 in agri- cultural enterprises in Mexico, and during the same time we have sold to Mexico about that much agricultural machinery. We have taught the Mex jeans how to farm, and have added to their potential wealth in farming lands hundred times $25, 5,0OO,OOO.
 We have invested few millions in Mexican banking enterprises, and have taught the Mexicans banking and the use of banks. We have built hydraulic power plants and taught the Mexicans how to utilize the enormous amount of energy which was going to waste in their waterfalls by transforming it in- to electrical energy. We are paving city streets with asphalt, putting in sewer and water works systems, cleo tric lighting plants and street car sys- tems, replacing cumbrous old buildings with modern, steel-frame structures. changing the external appearance of things generally We have invested in city real estate, and are teaching the Mexicans how to build city.

GOVERNS PRICES OF DOCS
Sentiment of Purchaser Has Much to Do with the Value of
 Animals.

The price paid for dog seems to be governed not so much by the value of the animal as the sentiment of the purchaser in the vast majority of cases and, as rule, the sporting dog brings the lowest figure, says the Baltimore News. Doubtless this is due to the fact that the man who wants a gun dog is practical person, while the seeker after the show dog" pays for the show" It is granted right here that many good gun dog also shows well, but the highest prices go for the show animal, pure and simple.
 At recent sale of pointers and set ters at Birmingham, England, one of the most important sales in years, the entire lot-two score or more-sold for 605 guineas. The highest price paid was 65 guineas for the famous female pointer, Coronation (4h years), the winner of many championships, while among the setters the choice was Ightfield Bang (41s), great field trial winner, who brought only 37 guineas. American purchasers would have thought these dogs cheap at '$1, ,O00' apiece.
 In contrast with these prices, the bull terrier Woodcote Wonder sold in New Haven for S5,O00 to a San Fran. cisco purchaser. Richard Crocker, Jr, paid $S,000 for his Champion Rodney Stone. and Frank Gould paid as high as 5000 for a St Bernard. These are real prices-unlike many of the amounts running up into the thou. sands tagged on to bench space of not few 30 cent dogs exhibited at some of the kennel shows where it is believed necessary to have something attract iyp

STANDARD OIL VICTORY
RECENT VERDICT AT FINpLAY, o.,
is THROWN OUT.
Common Pleas Court Holds That the
Probate Court Had No Jurlsdic-
ton In the Suit.

Findlay, O., Dec. 25-The Standard
Oil company won victory in common
pleas court here Monday when Judge
w. S. Duncan decided that the probate
court had no jurisdiction in the suit
brought against it in the probate court
and threw out the recent verdict OF
guilty against the company.
Prosecutor David sometime ago filed
an information in the probate court
against the Standard, charging it with
violating the antitrust laws of the
state. He maintained that he could
get action quicker against the com.
pany by this proceeding than through
indictments in the common pleas
court
The Standard attorneys contended
that the probate court had no juris.
diction in the matter; that if there
had been a violation of the law the
prosecutor should have proceeded
against the company through indict-
ments.
This point was upheld by Judge
Duncan and the case is thus thrown
out of the probate court.
This decision in no way effects the
indictments recently returned in COM
mon pleas court by the grand jury
against John D. Rockefeller and the
other officials of the Standard Oil
company, charging them with violat-
ing the antitrust laws.
None Of the Standard officials were
in court when the decision was rem
dered, but the company was repre-
sented by it's attorneys.
1t is understood the prosecution will
appeal the case to higher court.
Judge Duncan in rendering his de-
cision said in part:
1.-THE court of common pleas has
power to review proceedings and
judgments of the probate court in
misdemeanor cases, under section
1856, revised statutes, although the
two courts may have concurrent orig.
inal jurisdiction therein.
1.-THE probate criminal code contain.
ing no provision whereby service may
be had upon corporation, the pro.
bate court has no jurisdiction to try
either an individual or a corporation
under the Valentine antitrust law.
Section 6472, revised statutes, pro-
viding that the provisions governing
criminal proceedings in the court of
common pleas shall, so far as applica-
BILE, govern like proceedings in the
probate court; was not intended as an
aid to jurisdiction, and therefore does
not authorize the probate court to
borrow from the common pleas Grim
inal code the provisions therein con-
tanned, providing way to get cor
poration into that court charged with
a criminal offense.
"The court of common pleas has ex-
elusive original jurisdiction in all
criminal prosecutions under the Val
entine antitrust laws"

GOOD WORK OF LIFE
SAVING SERVICE
THOUSANDS OF LIVES AND VAST
PROPERTY RESCUED.
REPORT FOR PAST YEAR
Valuable Assistance Rendered and
Warnings Given-Problem of In
stalling Power in Life-Boats
Solved.

Washington, Dec. 25.- Important
work was accomplished during the
past year by the life saving service of
the government, thousands of imper-
He'd lives and millions of dollars worth
of property being saved through the
heroism and unremitting vigilance of
the life savers
General Superintendent Kimball of
the life saving service, shows in his
annual report that the number of ma
rine disasters was $40 in the waters
of the United States. In these. 40
vessels and 20 lives were lost and 81
persons were Succored at the various
stations. The total value of property
saved was $12,2G6, 100, while that lost
was $2,775,040. In the disasters $500
lives were imperiled.
At the close of the last fiscal year
the life saving establishments COM
prised 279 stations. of which 200 were
on the Atlantic coast 60 on the great.
lakes, 16 on the Pacific coast proper.
and one each at the falls of the Ohio
river, and Nome, Alaska.
Much Other Help Given.
The life saving crews rendered as
sistance of more or less Importance
to 397 vessels in addition to those
which were lost. Patrolmen and sta
ton lookouts also warned 81 steamers
and ~ sailing vessels which were run
ming into danger, the warnings I'M
doubtedly averting disasters which
would have caused loss of both life
and property The life savers rescued
bathers, recovered bodies of the
drowned and assisted many persons in
distress.
Particularly valuable assistance, 1t
is noted, was rendered by the life say
ing crews at San Francisco during the
earthquake and conflaefation last
April, In fighting the fire, transporting
supplies and sheltering the homeless.
Power In Life-Boats.
Superintendent Kimball saws that
the problem of installing power in a
life-boat without reducing its carrying
capacity or destroying it's self-drifting
property has been solved and during
the year seven of the largest sized
boats have been equipped with gaso-
line engines. They constitute most
important addition to the life saving
equipment and materially enlarge the
radius of the effective work of the
crews.
Mr.. Kimball points out that the
great service rendered has cost the
government only s1.s32,465. He urges
strongly that the benefits of retirement
be extended to officers and men Of the
service who become disabled through
injury or disease OF incapacitated by
age.

Springfield, ILL.,, Dec. 25.-The su.

agreed to leave the offer open for ac
ceptance until September. While the
