NEWS OF TIE WORLD
The "St. Paul Dispatch" Enter.
prise Gives it to Its Readers,

If anything has been lacking to
make perfect metropolitan news
paper of the St. Paul Dispatch, the
want was entirely filled when it
completed arrangements for the
special foreign cable service which
is now Frightening it's columns. 1t
is really astonishing how the re-
cent war with Spain has developed
the American thirst for the news of
the world. It placed America in a
new position in regard to the rest
of the earth and gave new i,npor-
tance to the events OF the world at
large. If the movements of foreign
powers were once of interest they
became doubly so when America.
rose into place as a world power.
The St. Paul Dispatch recognized
this when it secured this cable SER
vice, with its news from first hands.
No longer is London the sole
source of all European news, and
no longer is the news of the world
filtered through British channels
and tinted with English IDEAS. 1t
comes to the Dispatch straight
from each European center and
without bias or prcdjndicc This
will be gratifying to all intelligent
people of the northwest, particular
ly SO to that large foreign born ele-
ment which delights in information
direct from the father!and. The
dispatch secured resident cor.
respondent in every large city on
earth, who uses both mail and cable
in sending in every news event of
interest and all public gossip that
is dear to the heart of the news
paper reader. In the past six years
strides to the front and is TODAY re-
cognizcd as the greatest evening
newspaper of the northwest.
The subscription price being so
small t,puts /, daily newspaper in
reach of everybody. Send - cents
Tor one months trial subscription
to the ST. Paul Dispatch, st. Paul,

Many visitors to the Celestial king
dom have noted the absence OF women
from the stage. All the roles In Chi
nese play are taken by men. This sim
gular custom is traced back to a wom-
ans whim. The Emperor Yung
Tsehing married an actress at the be-
ginning Of the eighteenth century,
when women were allowed ON the
stage. The emperor died and the en-
press dowager ruled the country for
her sen. the Prince kim Sung.
To satisfy her vanity this shrewd
and most peculiar woman issued q
decree In the year 1738 forbldding. un-
der penalty Of instant death by the
sword Of the executioner, any member
Of her sex to appear on the Chinese
stage. "After me, no one," said the
empress dowager, and since her day no
woman within the reach OF Chinese
law has dared to test the strength Of
her decree In Hongkong "a British
colony women have played In Chinese
theaters. but never as yet, we believe,
In San Francisco.

under medicines" A clothesbasket
is clothing" but clothes pegs are an

Arthur A. Leeds OF Tioga met Ste
phen Crane once under circumstances
which showed how little the novelist
traded upon the fame that came to
him. Mr.. Leeds got on q train at Del
aware Water Gap. The only man on
the platform was bumped up against
the side Of the depot gazing into space.
He looked like a farmers boy. His
trousers were baggy. his Coat battered
and his hat rowdy.
''Say, carry this stuf to the hotel for
me. will your asked Mr.. Leeds. The
man grasped the bags and started in
the wake Of Mr.. Leeds toward the
hotel
When the hotel was reached, Mr..
Leeds lost sight OF his porter for q few
minutes while he greeted friends.
Looking around for his baggage. he
saw the man who had packed 1t 20 the
hotel sitting on the piazza with his
legs ON the railing. He was reading a
book.
"Who's that manr' asked Mr.. Leeds.
"Oh, that's Stephen Crane" some one
said. The next day Crane left the place
before Mr.. Leeds had an opportunity
for explanations.-Phila North

place within certain time, aud

provements and everybody in Oak
