A ROMANCE OF CHINA.
How Pumpkin Waiser In the Land
OF the sun Rose to Royalty.


China In its slow shy way is enjoying
Just now a little romance. Years ago,
when the last Ming emperor ended his
earthly troubles in coal mound in
Pekin, his heir was made marquis,
and the Manchu dynasty succeeded to
the rule of tine Land of the Sun. Dur
ing the reign of the last emperor but
one the then holder ofthe marquisite died
without sons and with 10 direct heir
TO succeed to the titles and es-
tates. References to the family rec
ords showed that the rightful heir was
an obscure parsonage, who had been
completely lost sight of, and search was
made for him everywhere by the officials
of the banner under which the marquis
was enrolled. High and low, in byway
and highway, the gallant knights of the
banner sought for the missing heir and
no trace could anywhere be found OF
him. Nevertheless he was close at hand
all the time. Day by day, for n good
number of years, there had stood out
side one OF the gates of Pekin man

times without knowing how close they

mongcr, bcwildercd and alarmed, was
conveyed, harrow and ali, to the office OF
the banner under the shadow OF the
palace wall. With much difficulty the
idea was hammered into him that ho
was no longer a pumpkin scllcr-that he
was u marquis and the descendant ol
kings. When ut length he understood
he permitted the banner to wash and

NArOLEON AND THE LANCER.
An Anecdote illustrating the Annoy
ance OF Government Red Tape.


Busy men, accustomed TO do business
in brisk, common sense fashion, find
official red tape so vexatious that it is
no wonder they invent stories to make 1t
ridiculous, says the Youth Companion.
The French have one of these, which is
perhaps as good as any, When Napo-
leon III. was emperor so the narrative
runs, he sat one day at Longchamps,
sleepily reviewing his army. Regiment
after regiment passed, but nothing
seemed to arouse him from his lethargy,
At last, however, as a regiment of
dragons rode by, he suddenly fixed his
attention on the front rank.
"What is that lancer doing there
among the dragoonsP' he asked his chief
of staff.
The chief of staff looked at the lancer,
and galloped away to the division com
mander, while the emperor sank back
into his customary impassiyeness.
"The emperor demands to know why
that lancer is among the dragoons?"
The general looked shocked, and
called sharply to the colonel of the regi-
ment:
"Colonel what have you got that
lancer among your men for"
The colonel was dumfounded, and ap-
pealed to the commandant of the
squadron.
'"Whats that lancer doing here?"
~ don't know, SIR" exclaimed the
commandment of the squadron; and he
called the captain.
"Look here, captain, why have you
got that rascally lancer in your com.
pany2'
The captain pleaded ignorance. "Tll
ask the lieutenant he said.
BY this time the inquiries began to be
garnished with oaths and abuse. The
lieutenant, apparently surprised beyond
expression at the presence of the lancer,
hurled questions and imprecations all at
once at the head OF the orderly sergeant,
What in the world Is that lancer here
for2n
Then the orderly sergeant rode up tc
the lancer himself, as il he were about tC
cut him through to his saddle.
"Iou villainl What are you doing
hero among the dragons? The EN-
peror is after you. Youll be shot at the
very least"
But sergeant" the soldier STAN.
mered, "you know I've permitted, sir. ~

"Permuted eh?" said the sergeant

The orderly sergeant went to the lieu
tenant with the report that the man had

of the squadron, and the commandant o
the squadron the colonel, and the colone

"Miss Willard accusation against the
vicelprcsident is without the shadow OF

nounced the canard through the news

HE WAS FROM COLFAX.
Young Philo Boland, Who Was
Arrested in Colorado as
Tasoott Suspect.
He Has Since Died, Leaving a
Mother and Two Brothers
in Colfax,

Some time ago the REVIEW pub
lished dispatch from Berthoud,
Colo, saying that II young man had
been arrested there while masquer-
aiding in girls clothing AT that
time 1t was thought that he was
Tascott, the murderer of Millionaire
Smell of Chicago.
A few days later another dispatch
came to this paper, to the effect that
the suspect was dellriously i'll with
typhoid fever, and that his name
n As Boland, and he claimed to hail
from Colfnx, this state.
Fridays issue of the Colfax Com
moner throws the following adj
ditional light upon tn perplexing
mystery:
HIt has been learned that the
youth i'm question Is Philo Boland
and that he halls from Colfax, where
he was employed rs II waiter In the
Farmers hotel. His widowed
mother and two brothers now reside
here. During his stay here young
Boland was frequently the subject
of suspicion that he was II girl
dressed In mems clothing, his ap-
pearances, actions and talk being
the exact counterpart of n womnn's.
He left her nearly II year ago, and
since that time his relatives had
heard nothing of him until the news
of his escapade in Colorado reached
them. shortly after his capture
young Boland was taken Ill with
typhoid fever, and word received
here this week brings the news of
his death, which took place on last
Thursday, NJ Denver 4 previous
dispatch from that place, anno,ulc-
ing his hopeless Illness, further
states that he had promised to make
II confession that would send some
one to the gallows, but whether he
did or not, has not been learned.

SHE IS AFTER MISS WILLARD.
All About Vice President Morton
and the Liquor License in
His Hotel.

CHICAGO, Nov. 0.--Tho national con-
vention OF the Woman's Christian Tenn
peranco Union resumed its session this
morning. A telegram from Washington
was read which stated that straight
bar-room license had been issued Vice
President Morton's hotel
Mrs. Ellen Foster of Iowa, anti-Wil-
lard leader, arose and said: 'I would
suggest that 1t does not comport with
the objects of the w. q. T. U. to make
any suggestions to Vice President Nor
ton. 1t Is probably necessary for him to
have bar in his hotel, just as 1t is nee
essary for the Palmer house to have n
bar; just as II is necessary for tho w. 9.
r. U. to have its headquarters i'm the
Palmer house, Notwithstanding its bar." :"
AT this point Mrs. Foster was inter
ruptcd with storm of "Nos"
Miss Willard, in the chair, said there
was no motion before the house, and
Mrs Foster was out OF order.
"Do understand that can not have
the floor to make my suggestionT' asked
Mrs. Foster.
"Certainly you can have the floor,
Mrs. Foster but did not understand
YOU had "a motion to max kc."

that IL does not comport with the object

Mrs. Foster.
Before this thrust could be returned
some one moved to lay the matter OH
the table, and the motion was carried by
"a tremendous chorus of voices.
| A few minutes later Ex-Governor ST
John of Kansas was ushercd upon the
I platform and spoke on the matter In
/ controversy. He said, in part: "lt has
been charged that Vice President Nor
ton is saloon. keeper That is moi
true. II has been charged that he has
taken out retail liquor license. That
is not true. 1t has been stated that q
saloon license had been issued for the

| That is true. Morton furnished a fash
ionablc hotel and leased it to a mar
named Kearnan. kearnan applied for Q

the proprietors, and he wired Vice
