NINE. YANG, OF CHINA.
. Dainty Color Vision is the Chinese
Minister'S Wife.

Mime. Yang, wife of the Chinese min
lister to the United States, lives in
Washil gton at the Legation, a brown
stone building on an eminence over
looking the city and commanding a
fine view of the Potomac. Nine. Yang
is not an easy mark for the inter-
viewer; in fact, she is rarely visible
to the outside world. However, a
correspondent with a letter of intro
duction was admitted a few days ago
to the Legation and ushered by a
negro servant into a small but pretty
parlor.
Soon there was a soft swish of
rustling silk and the slender figure of
a youthful interpreter glided into the
o and announced in excellant Eng
lish: madame will be down in a few
minutes" Scarcely had he said this
when a radiant figure appeared in
the framework of rich curtains drap-
ing the doorway"
This was Nine. Yang, and she ap-
peared a vision of Oriental loneliness.
From the neck to the tiny feet hung
a robe wondrously wrought with
gaudy birds from the torrid zone and
variegated flowers. The face was
rouged until each cheek was an island
of red in an ocean Of yellow. The
black hair was piled high in a puffed
mass, while ~surmounting it was a
gilded fan which protruded above the
head.

FOR HIS FEES
Attorney Williams Creates a Scene
in the KOetting Case.

Milwaukee, Feb. 19.-Sensational
occurrences have characterized the
case of John B. Koetting from the
morning that the South Side Savings
bank failed to open it's doors. On one
occasion Koetting was brought back
from Denver, and on the other from
the City of Mexico. Continuance and
procrastination on pretext or an
other delayed the trial when the mat
ter came up in court until the public
grew weary. 1t remained for yester-
day morning to furnish a startling
climax to the series of remarkable de-
~velopments which have characterized
the case.
w. G. Williams, Koetting's attorney,
refused to go on with the case until
assured Of getting his money. Nor
would he permit the trial to proceed
until there was some certainty that he
would be paid for his services.
You have certainly had time
enough to settle this matter" said the
court addressing Mr.. Koetting, "and
l fix the case peremptorily for Thurs
day morning next"
Mr.. Williams was asked what he
meant when he had said that Mr..
Koetting had made him a proposition
which he would not consider. "Why,
after having a definite understanding
with him." answered Mr.. Williams,
she wanted me to continue the case
, conditionally upon results, and 90
self-respecting lawyer would do that"

ceres fully reconci','d to lie necessity
of staying indoors, and it is only when
she is allowed to Isl her pruning
shears and trowel upon the potted
plants that she finds the shut-in-sea-
SON even endurable. When she can
not have a conservatory, with a
Scotch gardener to manage it, as all
w~ell-regulated novel heroines do, she
should get what pleasure she can
from a window garden.
A window garden requires a sunny
site, but it should not be il a room
in constant use. For sunlight is as
essential to human life as to plants.
and it is better not to let the vege-
tables claim all of it in a much-used
room. A sort of bower to which the
flower lover may retire when she will,
and among whose blooms she may
snip and dig to her hearts content,
is what is needed.
On a level with the window4sill a
tolerably broad, strong shelf should
be built. On this Towering plants of
small size should be placed. The jar
dinieres which hold them should not
be elaborate, for the plants them
selves are supposed to be the feature
of the window. On the floor near by
tall palms and ferns should stand,
with here and there an azalea giving
color and light to the somber green.
Half way up the length of the Win
dow should be fastened another shelf,
and on this vines in pots should be
dropping rather than the climbing va
riety, and they will for a delicate cur
tain for the window. From the--top
of the window a swinging jardiniere
should be suspended by a gilt chain
and from it also trailing vines fall.
The effect of the whole is charming.

Frederick Douglas was born at Tuck
ahoe, near EaSbon, Md, in February,
1917; the o of a white man and a
negreSs, the latter a slave. When ten
years of age he was sent to Baltimore
to live with a relative of his master,
Colonel Lloyd, and he found employ
ment in a ship-yard and learned to
read and write. In 1888 he escaped to
New Berford, Mass, and changed his
naime from Lloyd to Douglass. He was
agent of the Massachusetts Anti
Slavery society and lectured in New
England n in Great Britain. At
Rochester, n. Y, he edited the North
Star, a weekly; and during this time
he lectured frequently before lyceums.
In 1870 he became editor of the New
England Era. In 1871 he was assist
ant secretary to the commission to
Santo Domingo. In 1872 he was first
in the list of presidentianl electors
chosen by the republicans of New
York. He was United States marshal
of the District of Columbia from 1877
to 1881, and from the latter date to
1886. recorder of deeds in the same
district. He was appointed United
States minister resident and consul
general at Hayti in 1889 and served
two years. He has since been con-
spicious as an orator and as an earnest
worker for the amelioration of the
blacks. He has published several
books, among them A Narrative of My
Experiences in Slavery Boston, 1884;
My Bondage and My Freedom
Dorchester, 1850; Life and Times of
Frederick Douglass Nartford, 1881.
AS he appeared in latter years he was
a man of medium height, with a full,
white beard and flowing grey hair;
with a complexion scarcely darker
than that of many whites of southern
birth.

daughter, children of his first wife.

woman, survives him. The story of
the second marriage is a romantic one

die age; a clerk in the Office Of re-
corder of deeds for the District of
Columbia, when Mr.. Douglass was APP

member of the literary society to
which he belonged. They were thrown
much together and finally became en-
gagged. Her relatives were opposed to
the union bitterly on account of his
color, but finally yielded to the force
of circumstances.
