The Dowager Empress of China Will
boon celebrate her sixty-fifth birthday.
On that day she will honor her court
photographer by sitting for her photo
graph. She will pose before an old fash
toned exposure which requires a full min
ute in which to take the picture; n
after she has sat once. she will decide to
be taken again in the same position Tor
fear the picture may be a failure. The
court photographer will gladly assent
for he knows that, if the picture does not
develop well, he will lose his head as we'll

Wo Hung Ling, the court photographer,
is thirty-siX years old: and is professor OF

record of the empress dowager of China
has never been surpassed, if it has eyer
been equalled, in the records of feminine
statecraft in the east.
She found China in the words of one
elminent writer, with the prestige, re-
sources and peace of the realm reduced
to their lowest ebb:' with the most fruit
full provinces a desert: with three great
and apparently successful rebellions rag
ing simultaneously in different parts of
the empire: with a load of debt. caused
by an unsuccessful foreign war, during
which the capital was in the hands OF
the invader-she found all these when her
husband, the Emperor Heinfung, died in
1861.
The world knows how all this was
changed. when she HANDED over the reins
of government to the young emperor. in
1889. And how she took it away from him
again in 1897 when his powers failed.
Profound peace reigns over the eighteen
provinces and the vast regions outside
them, and there never was a time in the
history of China when she was greater
in the eyes of foreign powers. or more
respected by them, than now.

and sugar pastry, starts for the photoS-
ropher's. A cloth of silver has been
spread from the main part of the palace
to the wing, and, upon this cloth of s.lVe.
the emDres walks assisted by her at
tendants. Being a foreigner her feet are
not as small as those of an orthodox Chi
nese lady, but they are so little that she
walks with difficulty. 1t is necessary to
have an assistant on each side of her, but
that is nothing. for the Chinese ladies of
quality are unable to walk at all. 1t is
rumored that this willy Isl Thsi pre-
tends that she is more helpless than she
really is, in order to make the cOurtiers
of the Flowery Kingdom admire her.
The empress never has per picture TAX
en- unless she is seated upon the throne,
for, having banished the emperor from
power, she does not intend to allow people
to see her unless seated upon the royal
dias.
The matter of the birthday of this es-
Unable woman whose early history is
shrouded in so much doubt, but who was
undoubtedly born a slave girl, is a mat
ter of much in China, among
those bold enough to dare to whisper
their thoughts. For years the empress
gave her age as sixty. long before she
approached forty. This was to give
weight to her words for in China a Wo-
man has no authority until she mas
reached that age. But now that sixty is
passed she does not grow old very fast;
and though she is probably nearer seven
ty she still says she is sixty five.
The birthday of the empress, too, Is a
movable feast. 1t occurs whenever she
desires to impress her subjects or when
che wishes to take new authority. 1t
was celebrated the day she dethroned the
emperor and again the day she declared
him insane and announced that sae
would be reluctantly compelled to rule in
his stead.
She celebrated it once when she desired
to reinstate Ii Hung Chang. Again when
the powers threatened to put her off the
throne and TO restore the emperor Isl
Thsi announced q celebration of her
birthday and ordered so much poflp put
forth that the representatives saw the
streets OF Pekin filed with soldiers who's
siitterinE ranks and whose loud "accfas'
testified to her great popularity.
The real date is probably in November
and the Chinese nation has appropriated
slOo. 600 in Chinese money for it's appro-
pirate celebration.

UNDOUBTEDLY PREPARING TO EXECUTE IN
NOVEMBER.

The dowager IMPRESS is engaged IN q

she is gone, if her favorite son succeeds
to the throne, he will continue in her
footsteps. If the dethroned emperor, now
little more than twenty-five years oiu'
returns to the throne, he will thfo"
down the old iron clad laws and build up
new ones.
The dowager empress is still lamenting
the Chinese railroad which she cannot
now prevent. And she is disguised with
the progress that is being made py the
Pekin Telegraph company. Plans LOT d

great empire and promoted the interests
of the country for over thirty years may
be easily seen by comparing the emma
of recent years with China in lsoo-ol'
when rebellion was triumphant and the

J7pon the outbreak of the war with
Japan the empress requested that the
money being set aside for her birthday
celebration be used for the purposes OF
