of the Chinese government to
eXpel all foreigners. The decree
printed in the imperial gazette
prove this. The movement has
been practically successful since
every foreigner in the interior
has been obliged to seek refuge
in the treaty ports. The impe-
rial movement merely utilized
the Boxers as convenient acces-
sories to its schemes.
"The relief of Pekin is already
an incident of the crisis. The
really important work remains
to be done. Marquis Ito, prob
ably the best informed man alive
on eastern politics, said to me
that the present was the great
est crisis in the history of China
and that all preceding eastern
questions sunk into insignifi-
canoe beside it Are civilized
nations to yield to the Chinese
conceit of their own supe-
riority?"
Mr.. Rockhill said other Off
cials in Shanghai, like the pub
lie, are utterly ignorant of the
course of diplomatic and mill
tary events in Pekin. The con-
suls Of various governments
have sent frequent kilograms to
their respective ministers, but
have been unable to get replies.
1t is, suspected that official mes
sages are tampered with between
Shanghai and Chefoo.
The attitude of the southern
viceroys in protecting foreigners
commands confidence in their
good faith b.; and negotiations
will probably be conducted
through them.
There is n financial panic in
Chinese business circles here.
Probably an important factor is
the money rate, which is now
SO per cent. per month. The
traders are trying to get the ear
of the officials.
Ii Hung Chang still remains
in Shanghai. He is thoroughly
discredited but is intriguing to
get the foreigners to quarrel
among themselves. Today he
told American and English dip
lomats that the Russians had
promised to withdraw from
Pekin regardless of the policy
Of other nations. His statement
is not believed. On the con-
trary it is thought probable that
he is simultaneously assuring
the Russians that the Americans
and British have promised to
withdraw.

The farmer has his cotton put
In roundlap bales because the
savings which accrue III their
marketing enable the buyer to
pay him a premium sufficient to
pay the baling charge and leave
him a substantial profit besides.
Much as compressmen would
like to have farmers believe
otherwise, the American Cotton
Company has no purpos further
than to secure for itself a fair
share of these savings. Its inter
est lies in enabling the pre- sses
which it builds to bale as much
OF the Southern cotton crop as
possible. In order to insure this
result 1T is essential that cotton
growers find profit in the use of
these presses, or they would not
patronIze them. To this end, and
N order that the full savings of
which rouudlap bales are capa
bic might be realized, the Amer.
lean Cotton Company became a
buyer of roundlap bales, paying
for them a premium above the
market value Of square bales.
Thus the rental which the com
pany charges for the use Of its
presses by ginners who prefer
lease to purchase, is paid by
neither the farmer nor the GIN
ner, but by the cotton buyer
(whether the American Cotton
Company or some other) and it
ls paid out Of the savings.
Beyond insuring that cotton in
roundlap bales shall"in all cases
sell for the premium to which
1t is entitled and which is paid
for it at the mills, the company
does not go. Its cotton agree
ment does not require that a SIN
gle bale of cotton be sold to the
American Cotton Company. GIN.
ners are free to buy or lease
presses, and every rOundlap bale
with all of its advantages. can be
bought in open competitor by any
respOnsible buyer and handled
through to the mills, with all Of
the resultant savings. but where
ever the ordinary cotton buyer
declines to purchase r"undlap
bales on this basis, the a merican n
Cotton Company stands pledged
to buy them.
The farmer who patronizes a
roundlap gin plant may retain as
com mpleete control over his cotton
as if be took it to an old sty le
gin house. IT he does not wish to
sell his cotton ne can have it Gus

COUNTESS WALDERSEE.

Countess Won Waldersee, wife OF
the German field marshal who is to be
commander-in-chief of the allies in
China, has been frequently spoken of
as having been the morganatlc wife OF
the late Prince Frederic of Scheleswig-
Holstein. She was not. Prince Fred
eric fell in love with Miss Mary Lee,
an American, and found himself con-
fronted with these conditions: II he
retained HIS royal rank he could not
marry Miss Lee, except morganati
cally; and morganatic marriage Miss
Lee would not accept. He thereupon
put royalty aside and became Prince
Frederic Won Noer; and, as such, he
married Miss Lee with full ceremony

JIGGERMERIGS.

While others are laundering anathe-
mas against the masculine shirtwaist
Rev. Father Refs thunders against the
open-work female shirtwaist. "The
young ladies of the sodality,' he full
inmates. will have to quit wearing
those 'jiggermerig waists with the
funny business around the arms and
shoulders" 1t is not at all strange
that the announcement follows that the
young ladies of that sodality are up in
arms and threaten to go to some other
church. lt is to be hoped that they
will. Come to our church, ladies. We
are not too good to worship in the same
house with girl because she has a
pretty shirtwaist and chooses to make
II prettier with an artistic combination
with pretty neck. II sodality girl
can't wear jiggermerig shirtwaist.
then what is the use of all this talk
about the Declaration of Independence
According to some good people the
greatest mistake of creation was the
making of the pretty girl at all. But
these good people would not be satisfied
IL every pretty girl were required to
dress in soldered sheet-iron instead of
open-work jiggermerigs. and they
may be left out of all consideration
1t is the nature OF pretty girls to jigger-
merig. and il is the nature OF the
lovers of the beautiful to be iigger-
meriged. That is the end of 1t. and all
the Reverend Reises cannot make il
any different-Louisville Courier

THE LITTLE LADY OF PEKIN.
From the Chinamen's Point of View
His Empress is Perfection.

The Chinese empress does not meet
completely the Anglo-Saxon demand
for female beauty, but then the China
man is not wholly satisfied with our
type, and, on sound democratic prin-
ciples, the celestial has some color for
his opinion, seeing he is one of our
four hundred millions, while our ideal
represents but seventy-fve millions.
Personally, it is hard for me to appre-
clate beauty in one who is short and
fat; whose feet are the size of salt
cellars; whose flesh has the modelling
OF bolster; whose eyes are oblique,
| and whose natural skin is OVERLAND
with white and red paste. Yet what
| am pleased to consider my taste is
from the Chinaman's point of view,
merely outlandish prejudice; and on
the standards prevailing in Pekin the
dowager empress is easily one of the
handsomest women, exercising a per-
sonal fascination which entities her
to rank with such heroines as Cathe-
rine of Russia or Queen Louise of
Germany. And as to antiquity of ped
igree, the Romanoffs and Hohenzoll-
ems are mere upstairs in dynastic
enterprise, compared with the power
in Pekin, which draws it's authority
directly from celestial sources in pre-
historic eras.
Let us then admit at the outset that
in the matter of birth, beauty and pol
itical power, the dowager empress of
China eclipses not merely anything
Of Its kind in Europe, but throws into
the shade anything dreamed of in
this fair country of ours, whose boast
1t is that we have set the standard
for sovereign woman The China
man in general is completely convin-
ced that in all that constitutes higher
civilization ne is the superior of the
white man. He has invented more
different kinds of mechanical improve
ments than all the rest of the world
put together; his wise men were mas
tiers of science when Europe was a
bowling wilderness; no other country
has held together so long as this huge
empire, and it's subjects not unnatu-
rally conclude that such grand results
must have sprung from institutions
whose excellence is unrivalled else
where. OF these institutions the high
est exponent is the dowager empress
and her party.-Poultney Bigelow in
Woman's Home Companion.

Openings for Young Men.

During the political campaign, now hap
PLY terminated. we heard a great deal
about trusts and their evil influence on
the destinies OF young men. IL was pro-
claimed and vociferously dwelt upon by
such orators as Senator ]. X. Jones. ex-
Gov. Stone, of Missouri, and so on, that
the trusts closed every avenue 10 the
American youth. built barriers across the
pathway of their legitimate ambitions.
and generally hemmed them in with in
surmountable and hopeless obstacles. A
vast amount Of eloquence was squandered
on this controversy. and while Mr.. Hanna
declared that there was no such thing as
a trust and Col. Roosevelt swOre by the
chin-whiskeTs Of the prophet that the
only trust in the Western Hemisphere was
the New York ice trust, the Democratic
shriekers bewailed the multiplicity Of
those abhorrent institutions and their
ruinous effect upon the prospects Of eff
cient and aspiring young men.
The simple fact OF the matter is that
combinations Of capital, commonly known
as trusts, prevail everywhere throughout
the land. They are the logical. the inev-
table results OF modern competition, and
in most instances they operate a reduc-
ton Of prices on a better class of product
than was possible under the old system.
That they inflict hardship upon indivld-
uals here and there we do not undertake
TO deny, but that they close the avenues
OF success TO young men Of superior abil-
ity Is absurdly and preposterously untrue.
In truth, this article was never in such
demand and never so lavishly rewarded
as now. With these vast aggregations of
capital and the creation Of complicated
machineries OF commerce there comes in
the character Of an inseparable compan-
ion the ipquiry for business talent, indus
try and high personal character 10 serve
as their actuating forces. The greater
the volume of money involved the more
pressing the call for brains and integrity
in its custody and management For
young men possessing these requirements
the opportunity is unlimited. For such
men, the demand will steadily increase
and the rewards multiply accordingly.
1t is true now, as it has always been,
that there is room to spare at the top.
while the bottom is miserably crowded.
This condition has not been brought about
by trusts. 1t is the logical evolution of
our complex social conditions, the inev-
liable corollary of the steadily intensity
ing struggle for existence. The fact has
been the same from the beginning. 1t
happens, simply. that recent developments
have emphasized 1t. The higher social
organization has its drawbacks as well
as its advantages. and among the most
conspicuous of these is the penalty it i'm
poses upon mediocrity and the burden
with which it crushes helplessness.
