THF EMPEROR's MA.

A woman reigns today over China, as
well as over Holland and Great Britain.
She doesn't sspear to be so attractive
woman. the Dowager Empress Of
China, as the young Queen of the Dutch
or the fine old lady OF England. But
she is to be respected. She has deposed
her son, the Emperor, age 27, has this
sturdy old China woman. and she pro-
poses TO run the vast empire openly, as
II is said she has secretly from the day
the Emperor was born. The Emperor
OF China's ma, indeed. Is worthy of a
place among the distinguished women
of the world who have exercised con-
spicuous influence on the worlds
affairs.
1t was reported the other day that the
young Emperor had issued an edict
affirming his recognition OF the ad-
vantages OF western civilization and
proclaiming certain reforms that tended
to far more liberal condition OF life
in the vast empire than had hitherto
existed. This seems TO have been the
last stroke to try the patience Of the
Emperors ma She. good soul. clings
to the traditions of her ancestors. She
doesn't want reforms. She doesn't want
changes. She frowns upon western
civilization and all It's freedom. So she
deposed the Emperor and took charge
Of things herself.
1t seems very unfortunate for China
that. where the Chinese men are open
| TO progressive ideas. the Chinese women
choose the things of the past. 1t isn't
so in most countries.

/. THE NEW .ARMoR PLATE.

The Krupp armor plate offers pro-
lection to our battleships with far less
thickness and weight OF metal than
was required in the Harvey process
product The tests at Indian Head seem
to demonstrate this conclusively.
The result is surprising since until
recently II was thought to be highly
improbable that Improvement would be
made on the Harvey process. But 1t
seems that for the present at least
American genius must surrender to the
German for Uncle Sam must have the
strongest and best for his warships
without making too much sentiment
about II.
The Krupp armor can be manufac-
tured in our home factories, though,
which is some consolation.

minutes in passing a given point. Two

william Tebb OF London is visiting
this country. He is the leader OF the
anti vaccination movement. He was
well known to the late Samuel Darling
Of this city and they corresponded
though. we believe, they had never met.
We guess II wouls have delighted Mr..
Darling to have had the opportunityto to
shake the hand of William Tebb. who
is perhaps the most conspicuous and
consistent opponent of the practice Of
vaccination I'm all the world.
William Tebb is nearly eighty years
OF age and the greater part OF his life
has been devoted to antagonizing the
prevailing faith in vaccination. How
successfully he has fought the compul-
sorry vaccination laws OF England was
demonstrated when Parliament chang
ed those laws making vaccination of
infants optional with their parents.
william Tebb himself had been arrest
ed and sentenced a dozen times for re-
fusing to have one of his children vac
cinated but he is a winner now.
The action of Parliament followed
closely upon the report of Royal COM
mission of fifteen appointed to investi-
gate the subject. All but two members
of the commission were propounced
advocates OF the Jennerian dogma.
| Nevertheless after considering the sub
ject for more than seven years and
taking testimony in thousands OF cases,
/, the commissioners went so far as to
recommend that prosecutions and COM
pulsory vaccination itself be abandoned
| while a minority report asked for the
| entire repeal of the vaccination acts.
The government. however, in the face
Of the report OF men who were origin
| ally prejudced the other way attempt
ed to force through bill creating still
| more stringent measures. Upon this the
people rose and listening to the voice
of the electors the compulsory law
| was repealed.
william Tebb has done mightywork
| for his country and forAthe world at
large. Some day the idea of the State

this country. too. The cause which Will
liam Tebb represents and leads has
many supporters in the medical frater-
nifty as well as among the people.
