Pekin, Feb. 9.-The foreign envoy=

aminations for five years and also the
punishment of officials guilty of not

troubles were entirely due to the ac-
tions of native Christians. While sat
ilzfactory in other respects, it was alter
ed to suit the views of the envoys and
then returned to the Chinese plenipo-
tentiaries.
1t is reliably reported that more than
10000 Mohammedans have re-appeared
in Pekin with the object of creating
disturbances during the Chinese cele-
brations at New Years. The Germans
have accordingly issued orders to their
troops.

ON HIS DEATH BEO
Explained Passage of Scripture TO His
Daughter.

Chambersburg, Pa.-tMost of the fun
eral arrangements of the Rev. John
Fohl had been made by him as he lay
dying. He chose the singers, those
who should act as pallbearers, the
preacher to conduct the services and
even the text for tine funeral sermon.
His last words were in explanation of
verse of Scripture about which his
daughter Mrs. Susan Hotchkiss. of
Cheshire, Conn. had questioned, him
few days ago. Early in the morning
on the day he died Mrs. Hotchkiss was
awakened by her fathers voice. She
ran to his room and heard, him re-
peating the verse. When he saw her
he began discourse on the text, but
the words died away as he became
unconscious. In q short time his
senses returned, and he continued his
sermon, only to be interrupted again
by the failing of his faculties, and this
alienation continued until his death.
The Rev. Mr. Fohl was born in 1915,
and was the Oldest minister of the I'm
tied Brethren faith in Pennsylvania.
He was ma of great strength of char
acter and highly esteemed by those
who knew him best.

Oshkosh, Wis.-the case OF Mrs. Be-

that her husband smoked cigarettes to
excess decree of divorce was granted
by Judge Burnell. of the Winnebago
County Circuit Court. has attracted
considerable interest in this State.hol-
la Tracey is closely related to some of
the wealthiest and Oldest families of
the city. While Mrs Tracey is now on
ly 20 years old, she has been married
seven years, the couple having eluded
opposition to their marriage by run
ming away.
Mrs. Tracey, in her petition, swore
that her husband smoked cigarettes
night and day, and THAT continual in.
diligence in this habit had SO untitled
him for business that he had for four
years failed utterly in the matter of
supporting her. 1t had also. she de-
clared, rendered him practically
maniac
Judge Burnell said today that divor-
ces have to be granted upon statutory
grounds, and that. while cigarette
is not enumerated among
these grounds, excessive drinking is,
and the effect on the moral condition
of the man is much the same in both
cases.

The costuming, the able cast and the
superb acting of the beautiful Miss
Holland was so instantaneously sue
cess that no former play or star ever
scored the triumph as did Miss Hol-
land and her supporters last night.
There have been two actresses who
have won favor heretofore in the
hearts Of Troy audiences. Mlaude Ad-
ANS and Blanche Walsh, and now we
can add Mildred Holland to the list, for
there was marked semblence in her
acting TO that of the other two, in the
purity, sweetness and dramatic powec
of her acting to Maude Adams, and
the wonderful use of her eyes to
Blanche Walsh. Miss Holland was
wise in the selection of her cast every
