With the emperor back in Pekin, where
the powers could protect him and support
him. the problems Of China's future would
become simple, and this is the thing which
must be accomplished, regardless Of the
concessions necessary to bring it about. 1t
cannot be expected that those who now hold
the court in their control will allow the
emperor empress to escape without CIV
ing pledges to insure their own safety, but
it is unreasonable. for those who know
Chinese character to think that either the
emperor or the empress would respect such
promises wrung from them under duress
when once they had escaped from those
who are now virtually their captors. The
necessity for this action is not generally
understood, but the facts Of the case are
that while the great bulk of Chinese popu-
lation was not In sympathy with the Boxer
uprising. and believed that the allied forces
were perfectly warranted in advancing to
the relief of the legationers In Pekin, these
same natives have been very much alarmed
and disturbed by the course Of affairs since
the legations were relieved.

EMERSON GRAMMAR SCHOOL.
Splendid Graduating Exercises of
 Seven Finish the Course of Study.

The closing exercises of the Emerson Grammar School were held yesterday afternoon in the assembly hall, which was filled to Overfowing with the many relatives and friends of the grad uating class and the participants in the programme.
 The platform had been decorated with evergreeDs, two mammoth Amer ican flags making an appropriate background. The cOlors of the grad uates. orange and purple. had Il showing in the decorations and in the printed programmes.
 The programme was inangurate1 by a chorus from the fifth and sixth grades, ''rhe Gipsy Festival" which was rendered in pleasing manner. The singing of Percy Morse was the feature of this number.
 Our Hired Girl,"a concert exer- else by the primary grade, was an ex- cellent selection and the lii tie children reflected great credit on Miss Hunter for their training.
 Burton Grim of the seventh grade reciled Pitts Speech on the American War;" and in telling the English House of the futility of further trying to subjugate the American colonists, reached a dramatic point. Master Grim's effort was well appreciated. as the applause attested.
 "The Little Mothers" d song by ten little girls, assisted by their dolls, was one of the neatest selections of the afternoon.
 Nine girls and boys of the seventh grade next gave an exhibition of Ind ian club swinging. They went through this exhibition without an error to mar the exercise and were liberally ap- plauded.

 'rhe Maine Disaster" was the title of the Reclamation by Stacy Hibben. This was the speech made by Congress- man Cousins in the House of Repre- sentatives on the appropriation If money for the relief of the families of the victims of the Maine explosion. It i is full ofdramatic fire and Master Hib- ben made the most of his opportunity.
 The song and wand drill by eight little girls was neat and well rendered. Ten boys from Miss Miller's class room were well fitted for the roles in which they were cast, and they enjoy ed their characters almost as well as the spectators. They were ''one little, two little, three little, etc." Indians and gave u iOmahawk drill and dance that would put the Moqui snake priests to shame. It is safe to venture they will be Indians until the next term of school.

WILL LEAVE POLITICS.
Congressman Bailey of Texas Has De-
cided to Become a Farmer.

Dallas, Tex, June 26.-Congressman
Joseph W. Bailey, aided by two friends
Of national note, has decided to turn
from the strenuous political life he
loves so well ard become a farmer on
an immense scale. This determination
is taken not because Mr.. Bailey likes
the quiet life of an agriculturist, but
merely to meet the opportunities of his
friends that he should make some ade-
quate provisions for his family.
Mr.. Bailey has heretofore confined
his energies and talents to the prac-
ticc Of law and the service Of states
manship. Hereafter he will figure in
the growing Of grain and the breeding
Of high class horses. He has just pur-
chased the Grapevine Prairi" ranch,
fifteen miles west of Dallas, from for
mer Governor Barnett Gibbs. The
property embraces 5000 acres of the
richest black waxy" land for which
rorthern Texas is famous.
Mr.. Bailey said:
The consideratiq4 given Governor
Gibbs is $4,000 in cesh and $1,000
acres of land On the Pecos river about
500 miles west Of Dallas. Messrs.
Francis and Sibley allow me thirty
years in which to pay off the debt. I
shall dispose of the interest I have in
a stock farm rear Lexington and en-
gage in raising blOoded horses and
grain out at Grapevine"
Friends of Congressman Bailey con-
slider that he has made n magnificent
bargain. They estimate the Gibbs
ranch to be worth approximately
$25O.OOO.

EMPEROR CANNOT BE DEPOSED
Chinese Minister Suggests Abdication
of Dowager Empress.

Berlin, June 25.--The Chinese minis
ter here, Lu Han Houan, in the course
of an interview today, says: The en-
peror cannot be depOsed. Chinese pie
ty would not permit d~ethronement.
But perhaps it would be possible
through friendly means of intimate to
the old empress that she should abdi-
cate after having ruled 10 long and eX-
peror, surrounding him with competent
counsellors, of whom there is no lack
today among the Chinese"
Germany will send to China all avail
able vessels beside those already there.
The Kreuze zeitung warns the pub
lie against crediting dispatches from
Chinese officials, especially those from
'Sheng, director general of railways and
telegraphs. The recent optimistic ut
%terances of the French minister, M. Del
casse, were founded upon one of Sheng's
cablegrams hat has since proved false.
The paper further complains that all
recent Russian communications place
the facts in false light and instances
a statement by the official messenger
of st. Petersburg, which represents the
Boxers as the only disturbers and the
Chinese government as innocent. The
views criticised do not prevail in Ger
man official circles.

How fashions change. Not long since
there was a fad for wearing one large
rose, with the hair dressed low. The
wreath of tiny flowers is an exceed
ingly pretty style. and the hair may
be dressed very high in the center. The
tendency of hairdressing today is to-
ward negligee style. There is a
studied carelessness and grace. The
waves of hair at the back and sides
are full and in broken lines, rather
than set curls, as formerly, says the
Cincinnati Enquirer. The curled
fringe bang Is not nearly so popular
as a series OF full loose poufs, as the
Francois say, consisting of large
waves of light rolled curls. A very
new method is to part the hair at the
side and bring it across the forehead
in a loosely waving mass. The hair Is
dressed very high for evening wear,
and IL there is not sufficient natural
hair, special coils, attached by a tor
toise-shell pin, are readily adjusted.
The coils and puffs must be very slim,
rather than broad as formerly.
