A COOKING CLASS EPISODE.
Luck of n Man Who Learned 10 Use

The story itself hinges upon the wisdom
of the man who started the cooking school.
The moral of the story is furnished by the
experience OF the man who went to the
cooking school 1t was cooking school
for men. and IL the man who started It
hadn't been wiser than his fellows, there
wouldn't have been any moral, and the
story itself would have been different.
Another cooking school for men was
started first. It's founders reasoned about
like this:
MEN are all of them interested in cook
ing, and lots of them would like TO know
something about cooking from practical
standpoint, so that they would be able to
explain mistakes clearly to their wives
II they were married, or to their landla-
dies II they were bachelors. and so have
a chance once In a while OF having the
last word In a domestic debate. As IL Is
now, II they don't like the way a steak.

EMPRESS DIED FROM RAGE.
QuarreIed with Her sister, the Dow
ager, and Was Dead Next Day.
From the New York Press.

From the New York Press.
English-speaking residents of Pekln
have heard that the death of the Empress
OF China. mother of the reigning sover-
eign, which took place some little time
ago, was due to rage. 1t is a curious
story. The empress-mother and the en-
press-dowager were sisters, and quarrels
between them were frequent, as each was
striving to gain ascendency over the
young emperor. Eventually the dowager
withdrew to Eho park, which is some dis
lance from Pekin, and when the emperor
went to consult with her on affairs OF
state she would keep him with her for
days together. The empress-mother called
one day on her sister TO demonstrate with
her on this. and a battle royal ensued.
The dowager, however, had the whip
hand, and was, says London Sketch, EN-
powered to deprive her rival of her privi-
leges Among these was the right to her
sedan chair, which is evidently an equiv
alent to the yellow jacket of the manda-
rim. She would not even allow the inn
perial lady the use of the conveyance to
return to her own home.
The empreSs-mother thus found herself
compelled TO drive back in a common cart.
She died Of rage next day. For thlrty-ivo
days her remains lay in state in Pekin,
the emperor visiting the chamber each
day The body was then transported to
Haitien, and will be ultimately laid by the
side of that of her husband, the seventh
prince, whose name was Chun. Since the
death of his mother the emperor has
treated the dowager with marked cold
ness.

because as will have been perceived. the
motives which impelled him to get up and

and whichever course he adopted he sub

american Typc Abroad.

United States Vice Consul Berg writes
from Rio Graade do Sui, Brazil:
"A printer in my district. who uses type
from various countries, expressed to me
his opinion as to the superior quality of
the American kind. He had lately given
an order for American type. asking, also,
for the accented letters used In the Portu-
guese language. which apparently could
not be supplied, and the order had to re-
main unexecuted. Type founders, in other
countries are prepared to supply complete
alphabets for almost any language. The
American type also has a defect In the
eyes of printers here. as it does not cor
respond exactly in pofntage with that OF
other countries. which have type al alike
In this respect. That of American manu-
facture shows an increase Of about half a
point In length and trifiing increase in
the height OF each letter. This objection to
the American article has no doubt not only
been raised here. but In other places as
we'll feel confident. could those difficul-
ties be overcome, that American tyne,
would be more largely employed for sta
uonery printing. Under present conditions.
printers are unable to use the same In conn
bination with that Of other countries.

THOUSANDS PERISH IN CHINA.

Late Floods About Pekin the Most
Disastrous Ever known.
The steamer Victoria. which has just ar
rived at Tacoma, Wash, brings news of
the most disastrous floods that have visited
China for many years. Sixty villages near
Tung Chou containing over $4,000 inhabi-
tants. have been destroyed by floods, and
the people drowned or forced to flee. There
is no means of finding out how many
thousands have been drowned, but the
number Is estimated by Chinese authorities
at from 1900 to 10000. .-'=F.- 90
The flooded district is within twelve miles
Of Pekin. the capital of China. AS a rule,
Chinese officials make very little stir when
a calamity like this happens, but the prox-
unity of the disaster has resulted in it's
being brought to the attention of the en-
peror. who has ordered that all possible re-
nearest Pekin have been allowed such
shelter they can find in the. city. walls,
but thousands are without protection
against the rain. which continues to fall. -a
The floods have greatly damaged a large
number of estates belonging to Pekin no
bles. The unusual rains began July % and
continued until August Is. The crops in
the flooded district were destroyed.
Early in September high officials OF Pc
kin and Tien-tsin suddenly forbade the
slaughter of cattle, their object being to
the rain. The result was to cut off the
entire meat supply, which led foreign cons
suls to protest and to report the situation
to the foreign ministers at Pekhl..e 1t is
claimed that the action of the officials con-
stitutes violation Of the treaty rights. =

HAITrS NEW CURRENCY.
Substitution of Gold for the Present
Paper Money.


w. p. Powell, United States minister to
Haiti in letter to Secretary Sherman,
states that a proposition is now pending
before the chamber of deputies looking to
the consolidation of the several debts of
the republic into one national debt, the re-
duction of the high rate of exchange, de-
struction of the present paper money in
use and substitution for it of gold cur
rency. based on our unit of value the
American gold dollar.
In order 10 do this" says Minister
Powell, 1.-The government will endeavor to
secure loan from some of our large bank
ing houses in the states, to the amount of
$6WO,OU. This loan / understand, is to be
negotiated by Mr.. H J. Leger, envoy ex-
traordinary and minister plenipotentiary
from this republic to the United States,
such loan to pay an interest of 6 per cent
per annum iE gold. The present debt, with
interest, amounts to nearly $4,000, 600 In
the matter now pending, the loan If OBJ
tanned, is to be secured by portion of the
duty upon the coffee crop, estimated to be
worth about $2,OOO,OO0 annually, and Dor

all loans that have been obtained have

tached to this loan, as far as we are con-
cerned, is the growing feeling for a closer

Bicycles Imported.
Consul Ridgely, at Geneva, Switzerland,
in a report to the State Department, says
that during the first six months of this
year there was a considerable revival of
expectations to the United States, especial
ly in watches. In June there was great
anxiety to get the goods in before the tariff

the manufacturers are not satisfied with
the outlook, exports to this country not
only falling off, but business in general is

There has been a very large increase in
the number of bicycles imported from the

brief remarks General Butterworth added
few words. Mr.. Bateman. said General
Butterworth, had been his friend from boy
hood and their parents were friends before
them.
1--WE were both Friends he continued,
and belonged to the same meeting. l can
