The fate of many missionaries is !
still in doubt, and it is greatly feared
that there are yet to be unfolded sew
eral melancholy stories of outrage and
massacre. These missionary murders
and those of the Belgian engineers
have to some extent been avenged by
the recent executions at Paotingfu,
where the Governor and the Tartar
general were made to expiate their
crimes against humanity by the allied
commanders, but the worst culprlts
because the prime movers of the plot,
viz, Prince Tuan, General Tung Fuh-
slang and Yu-hsien, the ferocious Gov
ernor of Shansi, have yet to be
brought to book. These personages are
all nominally in disgrace, and Prince
Tuan has been deprived of all power
for the time being. but General Tung
is still in command of some sixteen
thousand troops with which he don't
mates and probably menaces the court
at Hsian-fu. Indeed, it is more than
likely that he will hold the Emperor
and Empress Dowager as hostages for
his own safety, and will thus be able
to delay the negotiations for peace,
supposing that the wicked Empress
Dowager Is really willing to permit
them to proceed Whatever may hap
pen, through the difficulties of inter-
yening distance, the bad faith of the
imperial officials, or other complica-
tions, We sincerely hope that the allied
powers will march steadily to one goal
viz, the punishment of those re-
sponsible for or participating in the
hideous massacres that followed the
Boxer outbreak. This is clearly the
first consideration. and the powers
should not allow financial or CONNER
cial or even political interests, to di-
vert them from this point. What Il
wanted is simple justice, which We
ought to enforce, no matter at wha
:. cost. The Chinese government do no
really wish to give up these great ant
: powerful mandarins; they fear tina
such a course would cause difference
9 and possibly another little war, an,
they are willing therefore to be prodi
| gal in promises, believing that tn
a fulfillment of such promises may b
deferred, on one plea and another, TO
a an indefinite period. Russia is playin
into China's hands meantime, with
;. selfish purpose in view. When all tn
, other demands have been met in som

for many years a personal and in,
innate friend Of the late Frances
Willard Lady Henry was born in
1851, the eldest daughter of the Earl
and Countess of Somers of Eastnor
castle, Ledbury, Herefordshire. In
1872 she was married to Lord Henry
Somerset. In that year she became
convinced of the great evils resultant
from the use of liquor and began the
work which was bound to give her
worldwide fame when she led in sign
ing the pledges with 40 of her tenants
in the village of Ledbury. Her ten
ants in London, numbering nearly 1OO,-
600, next claimed her attention. She
visited the slums and gave fetes at
Eastnor castle, sometimes to as many
as 10000 poor people. Her remarkable
efforts produced much good.

cured. the robbers threw their victims

Gus injuries.
The highwaymen remained aboard

OOO People at once.
Paris, Sept. 24.-Never before was
France so entirely centered in Paris as
when. curiOusly enough, the Paris mu-
nicipal officials, who are not on speak
ing terms with the French government
and 22,OOO mayors. from the largest
towns to the smallest communeS, were
fully represented at the great mayors
banquet. They met under one roof as
the guests of President LOubet to re-
ceive his hospitality and thanks for
contributing TO the success of the eX-
position and to convey to him aSSur-
anceS of their personal respect, and
that France was heart and soul Il
stanch republic.
Just as the mayors were about to sit
down here was Il curious incident.
Mayor de Saint Leger, of Laon, in the
department of Aisne, called a senator
casserole. for which he will be dis
missed. The guests were served as if
they were in a private restaurant.
There were 21.S70 walters, who moved
about as methodically as if they had
been drilled for a long time. The best
wines of France flowed freely.

Canes For Women.

Are women to carry canes? That's
the question that the man who walked
through the shopping district the other
day, idly looking in the store windows,
wants answered. He saw q window
arrayed to tempt the summer girl. and
conspicuous among the novelties shown
were canes. Were they purely orna-
mental or were they made for the sum-
mer girl to carry? That's what this
mere man wants to know.
They were most remarkable canes
from the masculine point of view. In
fact. they were distinctly feminine
canes, If such thing can be imagined.
That's why this particular man who
saw them felt as though they must
have been made. solely for the summer
girls use.
They were of wood, painted in deli
cate colors and had most elaborate
handles. One looked as If it might
have been made of pink enamel, the
paint had such a glossy finish. At the
top 1t ended in a round ball, and over
this and reaching a third of the way
down the cane was a network of steel.
Another cane, which was surely never
designed for man, was painted pale
green, and at the top was a good sized
white enameled daisy, very natural
looking indeed, with topaz for its yell
low center.
Now, the shopkeeper is very glad to
inform the man in question and any
other passerby that the canes were
made for the summer girl, that she
buys them and that many canes have
been made to order to match special
gowns.-New York Journal

mammoth instances of men in the ranks
of commerce and manufacture who have
achieved greatness in public life. Not
to extend the list too far, it is only nee
essary to recall Hancock and Gorham,
OF Massachusetts,; Cambreleng, of New
York-a Tammany Democrat, born in
North Carolina; Abram S. Hewitt, of New
York and Samuel ]. Randall of Penn
sylvania. Thomas f. Bayard, of Della
ware, was for a long while a merchant.
But these able men studied politics be-
fore they went into public life. They
did not have SO poor an opinion of poll
tics as Mr.. Hanna has. He had been so
eminently successful in making money
all other sciences and occupations were
easy to him. He was Warwick, the Pres
ident maker Tom Corwin, the oratorical
jester; John Sherman, the learned finan-
cier- statesman; Matthew Stanley Quay,
the Napoleonic manipulation of practical
politics, all in one. The conceit of this
neophite is as tall as the Homolayas.
Great will be his fall some day. Said
Democrat to me a few days ago: Mr..
Hanna is not simply struck with his
newly discovered gifts of wit, tongue
and Wanted craftsmanship.
He is not doing all this great act of
and mounting and vituper-
alton simply to re-elect Mckinley. He
has got the bee Presidential in his own
bonnet" This remark is perhaps worthy
of record for future reference
