GREAT BRITAIN IN FAVOR,
Her Prestige Tn China Now Greater Than
 Ever.

Pekin, April 10.-The effect of Great Britain's action at Wei-Hai-Wei is al- ready apparent here. The Chinese thoroughly comprehend the disinter- estedness of England and her prestige is now higher than ever. The Chinese regard Great Britains action as a. step which has saved the empire from dismemberment. No definite arrange ments have yet been made regarding the extent of the railway to be con- structed. The opening of Woo-Sung in a slight degree affect Shanghai, which will be connected by railway with Woo Choo. Though this action is not likely to have a significant effect it is regarded as certain to awaken China.

 Washington, April 10.-Upon the pre- sumption that Spain's offer of an ar mistice to the Cuban insurgents will make no change in the plans of the administration, and that the presi- dents message will go to congress to- morrow, the house this week will make history. In anticipation of stirring scenes and momentous action every congressman had been besieged by hundreds of friends for tickets to the reserved galleries and the general null titude, which must take it's chances in the public galleries on the principle first come, first served will be prepar- ed to assault the capitol at dawn to- morrow. It is likely that hundreds will camp out on the marble steps all night, so intense is the desire to be present when the message is read.

Washington, April 10.-Senor Quesa- da, the representative of the Cuban in- surgents in this city, when asked to- day what he thought of the Spanish armistice, said: Tt is only Spanish trick.

BIGGEST WEDDING
HISTORY.

On the day that Alexander
ahr Great was married no few
er than 10000 persons IN one
ceremony were made husbands
and wives. This seems inpos
sible. but the event really took
place, It's historical record tells
as. This monster wedding oe
Cured upon the conquest by
Alexander the Great of Persia.

King Darius. Alexander mar
ried Statira. fhe daughter of
the conquered king. and deere
ed that 100 Of his chief officer
should be united to 100 ladies
from the noblest Persian and
AIedean families. In addition
to this, he stipulated that TO-
900 of his. Greek soldiers
should marry 10000 Asiatic
ssorem. When everything
was settled a vast pavilion was
erected, the pillars of which
were 90 feet high. One hun
dFed gorgeous chambers ad-
joined this for the 100 noble
bridgegrooms while for the Sc
naming 10000 an outer court
was iaclosed. outside of which
tables were spread.for the null
tiutde. Each pair had seats
and ranged. themselves III a
semi. circle round the royal
throne. OF course, the priests
could not marry this vast Rtsn-
Der Of couples. so Alexander
she Great devised a. very sim
pie ceremony. he gave his
Hand to Statira and. kissed. her
an example that all the bride

the ceremony and that vast
number were married. Then
followed the festival, which
lasted FIVE days the grandeur

SEASONABLE CAUTION
Beware of Changing Your
Underwear Too Early.

Do not be nisled by the mild
Weathe, into making any radi-
cal change in the weight OF
your underwear. We are not
done yet with the cold winds #
winter weather. Rather suffer
! q little passing inconvenience
than run the risk of a serious
cold.
If too heavily clad for COM
fort let the change be one that
can be instantly made, such as
by wearing a dress of lighter
weight, or by means Of the out
side wrap, rather than by leav-
Ing Oft any portion of the under
wear that should euvelop every
man. woman and child from
head to foot.
A great mistake is made by
wearing thick, heavy cotton I'M
derwear, instead of wool because
of mistaken idea. that the wool
causes a disagreeable sensation !;
but If a light or medium weight
of underwear is chosen, of from
sixty to eighty per cent Of wool,
one does not feel nearly 50 over
burdened or overheated, and this
quality can be worn with com '

fort much later in the season
than the heavier grade of cot
ton.
Special care should be taken
that the children are we'll pro-
tected with WOODEN underwear
1t is a great mistake to over
burden a child, as we'll as an
adult, at any season, but serious
colds and attacks of Group may
be avoided by simply exercis
ing a little common sense in the
matter. Night clothes with a
certain percentage of wool, are
to be recommended for children,
even until quite late in the sea-
son, for it is very difficult to
keep even light covering over
a restless child.
A sensible mother has devised
an odd arrangement for the pro
lection OF her child at night.
A flannel bag was made, with
an opening at the top, gathered
on to a bag which could be but
toned around the neck. Into
this bag the child was placed,
the bag securely buttoned, and
the restless little one could kick
and turn to its hearts content,
while feet and hands were Sc
curely protected from the cold
air, even if the bed clothes were
thrown off. These bags may
be made in various weights,
suita bile for the different seasons.
Care should be taken to make
them sufficiently large to allow
perfect freedom to the child.

operation plan of fire insurance
for detached or farm property
at actual cost. The plan has
given great satisfaction to the
people throughout North Caro-
lima, where it has been operated.
A policy fee of 5octs on the 500
valuation, gives each member a
perpetual policy with no further
cost, unless there be actual fire
loss in the Branch of which he
is a member. The assessments
have been tor the last 50 years
actually less than a man would

erty is insured for more than 81

How He Repeated The Lords

quite by accident a number OF
foreign diplomats from Wash
ington, a few American states
ment some prominent New
Workers, and one or two Of us
professionals were gathered to-
eether in a smoking room of
the Fifth avenue Hotel, when
somebody asked Booth, who by
merest chance happened to be
there, if he would not repeat
the Lords Prayer for the assem- :
blage. I was sitting not far from
the tragedian when he fixed his
eyes upon the man who made
the request. l think that 1t was
Lord Sackville West, at that
time British Minister to the
United States, and l shall never
forget the peculiarly arching
expression that Booth shot out
of his dark eyes. They seemed
to penetrate the very soul of the
man at whom they were directed,
and then, as if satisfied, resumed
their wonted vacuous density.

enveloped them. And then he

REBELS VICTORIOUS.
Fifteen Hundred Chinese Troops Slain

Fifteen Hundred Chinese Troops Slain
and Bodies Thrown in River.
San Francisco. Aug. 23.--News has
just reached here from the Orient that
early In July there was battle between
the rebels at Wu Chow and the imperial
Chinese troops, in which the former
were victorious. Over 1900 Of the
troops were slain, and their bodies
thrown into the river. The Do Sing,
under Captain Tholeman, was engaged
to take about 1000 Chinese troops to
the scene OF the rebellion.
From the time the Do Sing left Can
ton until she reached WI Chow, 200
miles up the river, Captain ThoIeman
had trouble with his crew, the Chinese
sympathizing with the rebels. One, a
coruprador, began melting them to mu-
tiny, and the captain alleges that in
self-defense he was compelled to shoot
the man. The comprador died from
his wound the next day.
Captain Tholeman was, placed under
arrest, and as soon as opportunity af-
forded was sent down the river to Can
ton. On his journey he was confined
in an iron cage. and on arrival was
placed in the British Jail.
On account OF the claim Of American
citizenship made by Tholeman, there
is bitter feeling against all AmerI-
cans in that district.
