The Indemnity

WASHINGTON, D. G. Jan. 5.-The state
department is making strong effort to
secure an understanding among the

ment Of the question of indemnity to be
paid by the Chinese government.
II appears from Mr.. Conger's reports
that il is hopeless to expect the foreign
ministers at Pekin to reach an agree
ment in this important point, and if it
is to be solved at all, it must be removed
from the Pekin council and dealt with
by direct diplomatic exchange, as was
successfully attempted in the case Of the
preceding serious difference between the
ministers. Therefore the state depart
ment is in correspondence with other
foreign officers respecting this subject,

they lived out their days and passed
out OF existence with full boards, but
the young were asked to dry shave
Thus the reform started, and In five

beard has practically disappeared, so
that the average Chinaman to-day

THEIR HUSBANDS SOON DIED.


o. course. there are none IN this
enlightened age-or few, at least
who believe In "the evil eye" yet
there have been circumstances in life
that seem to bear out the idea that
certain persons bring Ill fortune 20
those with whom they are intimate.
Not long ago there died at Naples .
woman named Baldi, who at the time
Of her decease was in her fifth widow
hood. Although well to do and q very
attractive woman, she had been un-
able TO induce anyone to again make
her Q wife, for five husbands had all
como Co untimely ends-&he first
three by drowning, the fourth
through being thrown from horse
and the fifth from railway accident.
In January. of the present year, q
man named Chandious, of Luzy, near
sueenay, hanged himself. He was his
wife,s fifth husband, HIS four prede-
lessors having likewise met with
:ragic deaths. The first hanged him
sef, the second was burned to death,
laefthird committed suicide by drown
ing, and the fourth followed the ex.
ample OF the first.
A Mime. Fenard, who died some few
years back in the neighborhood OF
Rruss Is, had been FIVE times left o
widow-an event that on each occa.
sion had been brought about by the
hand Of others. Her first husband.
whom she married In America, was

Vienna; her third, Of the same na-
fonality, was drowned while out

was shot by q burglar, whom he waa

. Belgian, was found drowned. marks
ON the body pointing TO violence.
Still more extraordinary Is the mat
eimoniai career of q Mexican woman
aamed Sonora Rey Castillo, who.
within the comparatively brief period
Of Is years. lost no fewer than seven
husbands, all of who had met with a
violent death. Her first was killed In
, carriage accident, her second was
accidentally poisoned, her third lost
his life in mine explosion, her
fifth was killed while hunting. her
sixth succumbed TO fall from q scaf-
fold and her seventh was drowned.
But perhaps the strangest case fall
ing within our present category IS
that vouched for by DR.. Durrier, a.
physician practicing in Paris at the
end of the eighteenth century. A
woman, whom he calls Nine. c.
was welded eight times and on the
eight occasions did she become a
widow by reason of her husbands
meeting their death while I'm a state
OF somnambulism. Six fell from the
parapet or windows of her house.
while of the remaining two one was
run over while walking In state OF
trance through the street. and the
other met his death by drowning.
What made the case more mysterious
was that previous to marriage none
