Rare Inducements in conins.

A Baltimore business house has re-
ceived from a far Southern MERCHANT
Il letter OF inquiry respecting the Bal
timore dealers line of goods. In the
letter was enclosed circular seriously
setting forth the virtues of an article
for sale and evidently sent as vouch-
er of the merchants trustworthiness.
The circular read as follows;

do well TO consult me about their

summer Goats of Panne snls.

White cloth skirts are very much in
the mode and viii continue 80 until
far into the summer. They are usual
ly worn with white silk blouses and
handsome etons, the etons Of colored
panne or cloths. Some of these etOns
are richly emb-c idered in oriental col
orlngs, ,poppies or huge proportions be-
ing favovite decoration. If one is at
all skillful the embroidery may be
done at home. and IL there Is not time
TO embroider the flowers sclidly they
may be done in applique. 1t is not
well to have the flower designs on the
bolero contrast decidedly with the
background, the best results bein.: OBJ
tained when the flowers and ground
work are in harmony.

a Woman BLACKSMITH in Kansas.

One of the newest trades for women
is blacksmithing, and Miss Esther
Searle, of Cawker City, Kan, is the
pioneer She adopted it in the way in
which unusual occupations generally
are taken up-by chance. Her father
Is blacksmith, and has been assisted
at the forge by his son, and last sum-
mer, when the young man went away
on his vacation. Miss Searle thought
that the work was too much for her
father alone, so she went into the
forge and soon learned to WELD the
heavy hammer with ease and skill.
When her brother returned Miss
Searle found herself so interested in
her novel work that she continued to
go to the smithy every day for an
hour or so. She found that her biceps
were so developed that she could
swing the heaviest hammer easily,
and that her chest measurement had
increased several inches in the short
period.

Il HUNG CHANGES
{ END DRAWS NEAR
Chinese Statesman is Said to
be Dying.
REPORTED TO BE IN
STATE OF COLLAPSE
His Death at Any Time Would
Not be Surprising.

Pekin, March 1.-THE health of Ii
Hung Chang is again a matter of grave
consideration to the ministers of the
powers. Mr.. Rockhill. the American
special minister. who visited Earl Lii
yesterday, says he is a physical wreck
and apparently in a state of utter col
lapse, although mentally as bright as
ever. Mr.. RockhiIl would not be sur
prised to hear of his death any mo-
ment.
The removal of Ii Hung Chang by
death or any other cause at the pres
ent moment would be very unfortun-
ate. NJ. de Giers, the Russian minister,
said today:
Lii Hung Chang is a, great diplomat
and his influence with the Chinese
court is absolutely unique. No other
man in China approaches him in this
respect. This influence is not tempo
rary, but it is particularly effective at
important moments in the history of
China like the present.
Senior de ColOgan, Spanish minister
and dean of the diplomatic corps.
said: 1.-The Chinese court could not
appoint a plenipotentiary of the same
calibre and having equal influence with
the Chinese and the foreigners. AL
though many OF the ministers OF the
powers object to his political methods
and regard him as essentially a trim
mer, nevertheless they realize that he
is the best possible man to represent
China in the present emergency"
Orders have been received by the
American troops to depart next month,
leaving behind only $50 infantry. The
Headquarters staff assert that the in
StructiOnS are a great mistake" al
leging that it is necessary to retain a,
large body of foreign troops in the
country for at least two years. Most
of the officers take a different view of
the matter, believing that the best
of each nation and to withdraw the
