PEKING, Dec. l4-Reports received here
from the court say the dowager Empress
is in notioeably failing health. But 1t is
added that her physical weakness does not
affect her paramount influence. The EN-
perors health is improving.
The foreign ministers think that when
the court returns here the freer communi-
cation with the Emperor guaranteed them
by the protocol of settlement will tend to
curb the courts domination by the En-
press dowager.
Reports agree that the court attendants
are more rapaciouS than ever. OmclaIs

what an Expert Golfer Did with II

What an Expert Golfer Did with His
The accuracy and steadiness Of aim
and the wonderful judgment Of dis
lance acquired by steady practice at the
game of golf are source of great sur
prise to the spectator who is not a
devotee Of the game. Some of the pro-
fessionals who have spent years AT
the game, both in this country and
abroad, have great following Of the
younger element on the links, who try
to copy the teachers in way that is
ludicrous.
About a year ago Willie Campbell,
an old-time champion and all-around
expert Of the game, was employed as
instructor at the Franklin Park links.
His accuracy in making drive was al
most perfect, and his aim was so sure
that frequently he would amuse the
crowd by placing penny on the crys-
tai of his watch and with a strong
drive pick it off without even scratch
ing his watch. After seeing Campbell
do this once or twice young man
who had acquired fairly good knowl-
edge of the game thought that he could
do this little turn by using golf ball
instead Of a coin. Before few in
terested spectators he placed the ball
on his gold watch and prepared for a
mighty drive. The look that came
over his face after making the drive,
when he saw that both ball and watch
had disappeared. can better be mag
ined than described. For fifteen min
utes he sought the pieces of his watch.

most vigorous battle was bis contest
for the speakership with Thomas b.

cording to custom, Mr.. Reed made his

triumphant election and reelection for
the Office of chief magistrate. At the
Republican national convention at
Philadelphia. a little over a year ago,
the party leaders of New York insisted
that Governor Roosevelt must accept
the tender of the vice presidency. He
resolutely declined, insisting that he
was entitled to reelection to the gov

York, aided by those of Pennsylvania
and several other states, forced the
nomination Of Roosevelt, and then
compelled his reluctant acceptance

THE GARRoTE IN MANILA.
High sheriff May be Compelled to Use

High sheriff May be Compelled to Use
1t Mt An Execution.
High Sheriff Peterson is wondering
how 1t feels to garrote man, says
the Manila New American. The SUBJ
ject was suggested to him by the dis
covery that there was murder case
on the docket of Judge Collins court
and that the mode of punishment pre-
scribed by the Spanish code, under
which the courts are now operated, is
death in the chair.
The murderer Is Lorenzo Antiparde,
charged with killing a native police
man last September in Tondo. If con-
victed and condemned to death, so the
learned say, there Is but one way to
carry out the sentence: Section 1O1 of
the code reads: THE penalty Of death
shall be executed by garrote upon
scaffold."
The subject seemed to prey upon the
sheriff's mind all day yesterday. He
wore a preoccupied lock end at times
was seen to give his hands sharp
twisting motion, followed by look
of shock and disgust, as in the mag
nation he heard the neck crack OF
listened to the strangled victims dy'
ing struggle for breath.
Opinions differed as to the form Of
the machine by which the death pen
atty was executed in years gone by
Originally it consisted Of chair with
an upright post for a back. To this
was attached an iron collar, which
fitted around the criminals neck
Through the post passed screw. the
point of which pressed upon the back
Gf the neck of the man in the chair
One turn of the crossbar handle OIL
this screw forced the point through
the cervical vertebrae Of the con.
demned and killed him instantly.
This was the machine used in Cuba
Spanish lawyers say that in the Phil.
ippines the apparatus differed In that
the pointed screw and collar were aD'
sent The back post had broad
board behind the head, through two
holes in which passed ropes. The
ends of the ropes were fastened to
short board, narrow enough to pasa
under the Gin and cover the throat.
The other ends Of the rope wound
round a drum, and when this was
turned the throat piece was drawn
back till the victims wind was shut
off and strangulation followed. II
properly worked the shock killed in
stantly or rendered the man uncon'
scious. but If the executioner faltered
slow death by suffocation ensued and
the struggles of the unfortunate were
terrible to witness and listen to.
