from her and placed in the keeping
of foster mothers. There are but five
families in the empire from which the
imperial consort may be chosen-the
clan of Fugiwaru. The present EN-
press was the Princess Huroko Ichijo.
Notwithstanding the progress OF
modern education and the more liberal
laws enacted in behalf of women un-
der the treaty that went into effect
July, 1899, Japanese women of the high
err classes are entirely subservient to
their husbands, waiting upon them,
and occupying position in the house
hold which is rather that of an upper
servant than of wife and mistress. The
law of Japan, like that of China, recog-
nizes but one valid marriage, but the
number of concubines, or secondary

is not restricted. The present Empress
of Japan is childless, the eir-apparent
being the son of the Emperor by Sec
ondary wife In such an event the
Empress regards the heir almost as
her own child. The Crown Prince and
the Empress have always had a strong
affection for each other, and he visits
her in her apartments in the palace at
frequent intervals.
Formerly no one but the ladies Of the
court had access to thS Empress, and
these were chosen from the most an
Gent and noble families. Such an APP /.

salaries, increased by costly presents,
when they made themselves especially
efficient The common penalty of the
office, however, under the old regime
was a marriage beneath them, or life
of celibacy devoted to religion. The
daughters of the Emperor In former
times were also forbidden to marry
as there was no one of their own rank
with whom they could form a legal
alliance; they. also became Shinto
priestesses, or Buddhist nuns. The life

TUCKER TAKES
CHURCH TO Task
Holds Missionaries Responsible
for Chinese Row.
APOSTLES BREAK LAWS
GOSPEL HAS BEEN SUSPENDED
BY MINISTERS.
APOSTLES BREAK LAWS

Boston, March 31.-President William
j. Tucker of Dartmouth college, took
the Christian church to task for it's
part in the Chinese troubles during n
Lenten sermon at the Old South church
this evening. His strongest sentences
were these:
The very apostles sentfforth by the
church have shown they do not know
how to keep the ten commandments.
In China. it looks as though the gospel
was suspended as we'll as the law. The
Christian church has been set back,
nobody knows how Ear. by the behavior
of the missionaries in China"
His subject was The College Gradu-
ate and the Church
He asked what attractiveness the
church has for the students in these
days of great material wealth. He an
swered it by saying that the need was
a plain matter of fact morality. The
last century was one of missionary ac-
tivity,. yet at its close. it's work was
discredited. II is a time Of moral con-
fusion also. We must expect the fail
ure of Ghristendom to support
Christianity.

RACE PROBLEM SOLUTION

RACE PROBLEM SOLUTION

New York, March 31.-In its forth
coming issue, Leslie's Weekly will print
paper by Colonel John E. Mosby, the
famous confederate raider, on THE
Dawn of the Real South" in which he
says:
The real south is just at it's birth.
The growth of this child of the nation
may be gradual, but IN the end the
south viii be far richer and more pow
erful than the north. In the days to
come the south viii become the domi-
nant section of the country
Without the war of secession the
south could never have hoped to attain
the future that is now certain. Slavery
was great incubus, paralyzing nat
ural energy. By abolishing this wrong
our war benefited every state south of
the Mason-DiXOn line. The negroes. are
producing more as free men than they
ever did as slaves, and the mass of the
people are vastly better off today than
they were under the old ante beIlum
system.
Abolition Good Thing.
Socially. as well as industriaIIy. the
abolition of slavery was highly bene-
fetal in its results to the masses. for
slavery was a great wrong, and no
community can exist in the highest
state of happiness when its system is
based ON wrong.
These are the soundeSt reasons for
asserting that the negro's status is
bound to improve. While they are not
as near the equality with white people
as they were under the system of slav-
cry, they are certain to be absorbed by
immigration. and in this engulfment
they will disappear. This is the nat
ural and wisest solution of what we
now call the race problem
Richmond is the city most likely to
become in time the banking center and
commercial headquarters of this coun-
try, and therefore. of the world The
