way of Entertainments. There were
scenes from Tennyson, Scott, Whit.

Lake, Maud Muller, Ophelia, Mime.
haha and Peri, were all really there.
Then the weird scene FROM the
weird poem, Poe's Raven, was mag

until the vision WIS satisfied with
beauty, the charming hostess turned
the mirror of entertainment and
showed the guests the real feasts of
this life in the shape of inner re-
freshments, delicious to the taste.
The crowd dispersed at late hour,

sonally more popular in Washington.
Several years ago the count conceived
the idea of going into that compare
lively unknown country of the "heathen
Chinee" and of obtaining certain valu-
able concessions for American CAPT
talists.
1t never appears to have struck any
other progressive and aggressive Ameri-
can that this was the greatest field proba-
bly, in the world for investment. Here
was country with 400 600 600 inhabit-
ants and an area so great that even the
United States woNld be comparatively
lost if placed in one corner. With all
this population and with all this terri
tory there was but one telegraph and
one railroad, not single telephone, no
letter carrier system, no government
mint, and, what was still more surpris
ing, no system of governmental revenue.
The count determined to penetrate the
barriers which had been raised about
the Chinese empire principally by Brit
ish capital and British enterprise.
The greatest difficulty encountered by
the count in pushing his scheme was
really in America. He first had to over
come the natural prejudice in this coun-
try against foreigners. His scheme lso
was so far away, and at the same time
so gigantic in its conception and the re-
suits it promised, that many American
capitalists who were approached were
startled by its very magnitude. The
first man to take hold of these Chinese
concessions was no less q man than the
prominent banker, Wharton Barker, of
Philadelphia Later the gigantic deal
had for its supporters such men rs Colo
mel Elliott f. Shepard and the Chinese
minister at Washington.
So far the count has been unable to
produce these Chinese concessions and
deliver them over to his associates in
the enterprise. But he has by no means
despaired of accomplishing this result
In fact he said today that he regarded
this as the work of his life and would
certainly succeed before he died. The
count claims that it is simply battle
between English and American enter
prise and capital, and that, as a natural
lied American, he is determined to see
the thing brought to a successful con-
clusion, After many months of work
the count finally sailed for China, backed
not only by American capital but with
the letters of introduction which guar
anteed to him an introduction ana an
audience with Ii Hung Chang, the
prime minister of the Chinese empire
and the seventh prince, the uncle of the
emperor. The counts remarkable ex-
perience in China reads like fairy tale,
and is best told in his own words. In
describing it he said:
'On my arrival at Shanghai l was in
formed that shortly steamer sent by
the Viceroy Ii Hung Chang would be

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 23.-The story of a

an intimate friend of the dead man,
James Harrison, positively asserted
that the blackmaiier was former part

some way, while visiting the young man
inhis office became possessed of a personal
memorandum in Foersters cash box. ac-
knowledging Indebtedness to the city
of $3.50, Using this as hammer, Har-
rison says Carroll secured about S., 900,
and further demand for $4,000 hush
money precipitated suicide, which, of
course, disclosed the actual state of
affairs and the full amount of the short
age.
AS to the recovery of the missing
funds, it is now tolerably well assured
that the suicide has seft enough proper
ty to cover his deficit. In addition, his
father, the deposed treasurer, is consid-
cred worth at least 100000 over liabil-
tiles, and this makes it practically GER
tain that neither the city nor the bonds
