Ambassadors Salaries.

In pecuniary sense, says the Lon
don Standard, Mr.. Bryce will be worse
off instead of better by becoming am
bassador to the United States. His sal
airy as chief secretary was the curious
sum OF 4,425 pounds. In Washington
he will receive 1900 pounds a year,
but II is generally accepted as fact
that It is impossible for an ambassa-
dor to Save" on his pay, large though
that amount may seem.
The Paris embassy, the plum Of
the diplomatic service, now occupied
by Sir Francis BERTHE, carries with 1t
a salary of 5000 pounds. Sir w. f.
Goschen in Vienna and Sir Frank Las
celles in Berlin draw 5000 pounds
apiece, while Sir Arthur Nicolson's
salary in st. Petersburg is the same
as Mr.. Bryce's.
BY the way the United States gov
ernment remunerates the members of
its diplomatic corps on a singularly
modest scale. Mr.. Whitelaw Reid, the
American ambassador in London, for
instance, receives only $500 pounds
a year out OF which he is understood
to pay 1000 pounds a year for Dor
chester house, Parklane, which he has
taken furnished on lease from Cap
tain Holford.

KANSAS CITY CAPITALISTS
In This Section Inspecting Their In
vestrents in the Overlook AS.
phalt Mines Near Here-Are
Well Pleased.

r. w. Hedricks and w. II. Woods
stockholders in the Overbrooll AS
phalt Companys mines south of this
city, are in Ardmore looking after
their interests. They arrived in the
city yesterday afternoon from Kansas
City and spent the day here today.
This morning thov visited the mines
in company with o. T. Gregory of Ok
lahoma City and T.. II. Goodwin of
this city, also stockholders In the
mines. This is their first visit to Ard.
more since the mines have been in
operation. They were shown the work
ings of the mines and seemed well
satisfied with the manner in which
their money had been spent by the
promoters of the Overlook Asphalt
Company. Both gentlemen are bank
ers in Kansas City and prominent in
financial circles.
Their investment in Ardmore min
ing property was but another OF their
many deals which is turning out good.
The Overlook company in the past
year has mined thousands of tons of
asphalt and are still digging after
that material. A shortage in cars has
prevented the company from being
in operation just at present so Mr..
Woods and Mr.. Hedrick were unable
to see the mines in operation, how
ever they were shown every detail Of
the work. The gentlemen left at noon
for Kansas City.
