marks Mr.. VIM. Henning proposed the
health of the guests. Judge Kahaule-
Ito made an earnest address in Hawai-
ian which was interpreted by +. II.

AIRING TIME on THE COAST.
When the L~ife-Snvin9 stations in
New Jersey Have Their Stock
of Clothing Ont.

Spring is airing time at the Efe-saNing
stations along the New Jersey coast,
At every station. from Sandy Hook to
Cape May Point, wearing apparel is
taken out OF chests and hung out where
the fresh sea breezes can blow Through
it. There is enough clothing stored at
these stations to stock a shop. There
are garments to fit men and women, and
boys and girls. Even babies are pro-
vided. or course the stock of chiidren's
clothing is rather limited. as there is
rarely a call for it. The ma j0rity Of
the wearing apparel is for the use of
men. All this clothing is kept in readi-
ness for the u~nfortunates who may b.a
~shipwreckCd.
There is not a government life-saying
station on the Atlantic, Pacific OF Gulf
coast OF the United States but what is
the Fo5seSsoT Of such a clothing outfit,
The stations on the great lakes are SINH
liarly supplied. There are stations
where there has seldom been need of
this clothing, but a springtime never
passes without every garment, hat or
shoe, being well aired. This is a duty
which one of the patr0lmen must per
form each wear. On the other hand
there are stations along the Atlantic,
especially OF the New England coast,
where there is little Cr;;urtunity of
airing the stock of cl2tbjr- ~ShipWrecks

WO1EN ExECUTIONERS.

What do you think of woman who
voluntarily offered herself To the gov
ernment as the public executioner?
A few years ago the official public ex-
ecutioner at Brussels died and "a sub
stitute was temporarily appointed. on
one occasion this person was i'll and un-
able To attend. But at the appointed
hour a stout middle aged woman pre-
sented herself at the central police sta
tion and quietly remarked TO the as
sembled functionaries:
i've come for the execution Mr.
husband is not very well this morning
and has asked me To take his place.
Please let us get to business
The general stupefaction may be
more easily imagined than described,
which being noticed by the would-be
lady executioner she added in a reas-
suring tone: /"Oh, this is not by any
means the first time"
1t afterward transpired that the wo-
man. whose name was Marie Rege, had
ohlciatcd on several occasions in lieu
OF her husband. Dressed up in his
clothes and her face masked, she had
been the public eXecutioner at several
executions. and never had the pro-
ceedings been interrupted by a single
police authorities were unable TO avail
themselves OF her offer on this occasion,
however.
Ii Will be a surprise To most people TO
learn that there has actually been a
woman eXecutioner In this country. In
olden times few cared To undertake the
office OF executioner and occasionally
death sentences We're respited on Condi-
tion that the criminal should perform
this office. \ case oT this sort oc-

UNITED STATES WILL
NOT PARTICIPATE.
This Country Will Take no Part in
the Raid on China---POrts
Have Been GObbled.

Washington, March lone OF The
highest authorities said yesterday:
THE government OF the United States
will not take any steps In regard to the
Italian demand for the cession Of Chinese
territory"
sistlng, from motives Of broad policy.
alluring intimations from other powers
To the effect that the time is ripe for a
raid by the United States on some part
OF the Chinese coast line, has definitely
determined to keep hands off. But one
motive can induce the government to
change this policy, and that would be
desire TO protect our enormously val
liable commerce with China from the
danger OF being completely cut off
through the gradual extension OF the
leaseholds OF European nations over the
whole Chinese seaCoast. So long as our
trade is let alone. or is at least allowed
fair opportunity for development. and is
not made the subject of Discrimination
so long will the United States govern
ment refrain from any interference in
Chinese matters.
Mr.. Conger has reported that Pekin
has been unusually quiet during the
past winter. He does not undertake TO
say whether or not the presence of
marine guards az the United states le-
CATION and at other embassies and lc-
cations In Pekin had anything 90 do with
repressing disorder, hut his statement
bears the affirmative Interpretation.
There is a mass of information on
hand in both the navy and state de-
partments relative 20 the encroachment
OF foreign powers on the Chinese coast,
but IL is in such shape that a concise
statement of the situation is difficult to
attain.
The fact is. however. that the occupa-
tion of available ports along the coast
has gone 10 such length that the ma
sority or the desirable harbors. both I'm
value as roadsteads and for communi-
cation with the interior. are in the hands
OF the foreign governments. With Eng
land in possession os Wei-Hai- Wei. the
Russians at Port Arthur. the French
at AMMAN and Tonquln, the Germans
holding Kiao-Chou. and with the ad-
ditional posts OF Hong Kong and Singa-
pore I'm the hands of the English. there is
very little left in the way OF desirable
ports on the Chinese coast. Shanghai
is nominally in control of the Chinese
government, but really is controlled
by the various treaty nations, all OF
whom have advantages in their oc-
cupaton over the Chinese government
itself AT Shanghai tho United States
has its only direct interest in a Chinese
holding. being one Of tho treaty powers
and having distinctively American
concession. OF the larger ports remain
ing there are only Swatow. Foo-Chow
and Ming po. which are really in con-
troll OF the Chinese government. There
81 a large desirable area In the gulf OF
Pe-Chili. on the northern coast, in which
