NEW YEARS OF OLD.
HISTORIC EVENTS THAT HAVE FALLEN
--..e..: ON JAN. I.

William the Conqueror Crowned on
New Years and Established the
Holiday In England The Day In
American Annals.
~ INCE the birth of Jesus Of
- Nazareth the beginning Of the
~ year has been variously fixed
at Dec. g., the anniversary Of
bis birth; Jan. 1, the: anniversary Of
his circumcision: March Is. the ami.
versaryt Of !" his, conception. and on
Easter Sunday. In: the British iales
the date most preferred was Dec. q,
and It was; not until after Hastings
that the present day was chosen. VIII
liam the Conqueror was crowned on
Jan. 4: whether because he honestly
deemed the date. which was then in
use in Normandy, the most convenient,
or whether he wished to thus signalize
bis victory, the day was then first
used, and has since been used.
The day is. set aside for feasting and
merriment all over the Christian
world. It is said that in Paris over
$4,000 Is spent on sweetmeats alone,
while it is far from uncommon for q
man to expend on one New Years pres
ent as much as one-fifteenth of his in
come. In Scotland so universal is the
custom of giving up the entire season
to the duties of the trencher and the
'cup that the day is known as daft
day." a touching allusion to the state
TO which, after morning has come, the
majority of the celebrators are reduc-
ed. New Years eve is known as Hog
manay, supposed to be derived from
the old Saxon hog night. the time for
killing hogs for eating and sacrifice.
In the rural districts of England
there existed until Il. very late day a
custom, which probably came from the

annals Of the nation. Some 1000 of

IN OPTIMISTIC VIEW
Indications That Ministers at
Pekin will Agree as to Chi
nese Indemnities.
Lump Sum Not Beyond China's
Ability to Pay Will Be
Demanded.
Next Serious Difficulty Will Be
In the Method Of Distri-
button.


Paris, March 21.-C Cablegrams received
mere from Pekin are very cheerful re-
garding the rapid progress Of negotia-
tons there during the past week. The
Americans proposal to arrange for de-
manding joint damages from China is
being favorably discussed by the pow
ers. There appears to be prospect for
the adoption of this proposition, altho
With some notifications from its orig
linal form.
The United States proposition looking
70 an agreement of the powers upon a
lump sum for indemnities, fixed by the
ability of the Chinese to pay without de-
stroying the government, seems to be
growing in favor. But the difficulty is
that while perhaps majority of the
powers might be induced to accept the
principle of thus guasing the burden to
the strength of China, they are far from
unanimous as to the method of distribu-
ton of this money among themselves.
SO far, altho no less than three schemes
of valuation have been considered at
Fekin, 1T has not been possible to se-
cure the adoption of any one. Without
cisplacing the pending proposition, the
United States government has advised
another and radical proposition, name-
" To divide the total indemnity col
iected--say 100000, 000-into eight parts,
q which the United States would receive
one. 1t Is true ten powers are repre-
sented at Pekin, but at least two of
them have no foundation for a claim for
indemnity. This suggestion is not
warmly received by those nations which
claim to have been put to very much
more expense than was the United
States thru the Boxer troubles but the
answer to this has been that in most
cases the greater part of these expenses
We're absolutely unnecessary; that there
was no occasion for the maintenance of
large military forces in China after the
fall of Pekin and equally unnecessary
end even pernicious We're the various
so-called punitive expeditions which
have been dispatched from Pekin at
short intervals ever since that date
Another and later advice from Special
Commissioner Rockhill at Pekin is Of a
more hopeful tone than those immedi-
ately preceding. for it indicates the sub
|ject of indenlnities is being discussed,
with an apparent disposition to reach a
Unanimous conclusion.

the mystery
The first suggestion of a suicide came
from the discovery of James O'Donneil

the hat, the gloves and the letter. which
was inside the hat. The letter was ad-
dressed to Sarah L. Wright, 740 North

matter.
