THE New York Times gives nearly two
columns to the Chinese succession. we
learn from this account that the middle king
dom is governed by two women, the empress
dowager and the empress mother of the
reign of the late emperor. These women
hold supreme power in the "Palace of the
Dragon" and rule absolutely four hundred
millions of people. They had great infu-
e1ce over Tung-Che, who "ascended upon
the dragon to be guest on high'' some
weeks since, quite reversing the journey OF
his European brothers who mostly descend
to the dragon to be guests below. The widow
of Tung Che had, in default of children, the
right to adopt son and heir. This she,
overcome by grief, omitted to do, and the
empress mother has adopted her nephew,
Tzai-Tien, child three years old, and has
proclaimed him emperor. This child is the
ninth in the Using or "Great Pure" dynasty,
which was founded in 1914, while Moham-
med ~ was Sultan of Turkey. Oliver Crom
we'll Lord Protector of England, and Louis
XIV King of Frame. His reign is to be
known as the Kwang su or Continuation OF
Glory" 1t is worthy of note that China has
been more prosperous and better governed
under the rule of these women than in the
reings of most male sovereigns.

A CURIOUS suit at law is reported fror

A. CURIOUS suit at law is reported from
Bloomington, Illinois. Thirty years ago Mr..
Griffith, a farmer in Minnesota, invested all
his property in fifteen hundred cattle and the
same number of hogs. Soon after the beef
and pork began to fall and corn began to
rise. Mr.. Griffith was on the brink OF ruin,
and he made vow to devote all bis income
IN the service of the Lord if he should es-
cane from his rash speculation without total
loss of property. He was fortunate, for beef
took a rise and corn took fall, and he made
a great fortune. He kept his promise, gave
a million dollars to the church during his
lifetime. and when he died left $15OOo0 to
religious institutions. His relatives are now
,contesting the will, claiming that he was in
sane. It is not clear whether they consider
| him insane because he made the VOW or be-
} cause he kept it.

funeral took place in Virginia the other day,
and the members of the grange, wearing
white baldrics and bearing bouquets, fol-

thrown into the open grave. All this was
