Washington, April although no
official notice has reached here Of the
reported departure OF Prince Ii Hung

officials are inclined to believe It Is
true and that Ii Hung Chang il really
leaving Picking for good and because
the emperor is displeased with his
conduct OF the negotiations. It was
known here that when Lii Hung Chang
was made one of the peace ENJOYS
that he was pro-Russian in sentiment,
but there was no cause for complaint
on that score until the Manchurian
Now, it is believed by officials here,
that Ii has proved so earnest an adj
vocate of the Russian cause and has
so strenuously worked for the sigma
ture of the agreement that his own
government has felt obliged to deprive
him of power to prevent that agree
ment. If this understanding is cor
rect it is believed that an efectual
check has been administered to Rus
STA in her designs upon Manchuria,
for it is thought the emperor of China
would scarcely have acted in this sum-
mary fashion had he not received as
surances of support from some Of the
powers. ,,
Mr.. Rockhill has not yet acquainted
the government with the exact Ian
guage of, the agreement reported to
have been reached at Picking as to the
Chinese forts, but taking the press
accounts of the ministerial meeting
as accurate, it is gathered that Sec
rotary Hays views have formed the
basis of the agreement. The original
proposition strongly backed by most
of the European powers was to COM
pletely destroy the Chinese forts in
fthe gulf Of Pc Chi LIE and on the road
from Taku to Peking. The state de.
partment felt that it would be mex
pedient to proceed so far and leave
China naked to the attack of the
meanest foe.. Therefore, the powers
were urged to content themselves with
the simple dismantlement of the forts,
leaving them in condition to be again
mounted with guns in a reasonable
time. It is believed here that these
projects have been accepted. for it ap.
pears from the language of the press
dispatches, that the only fort to be
destroyed is one on point in the Pei
river which is to be removed simply
because it forms an obstacle to navi-
cation. E.

extension Of the street railway fran

up of 80 Republicans, 20 Democrats,
Independent Republicans and In

for by law, the tangle being caused
by the recent ward redistricting and
the consequent shifting of two hold
over aldermen in the Second and,

decide the problem.

The Mystery of
, The Dollhouse

Children have asked me lots of times
to tell them the story of the dollhouse
and clear up the mystery that for
number of years has worried the minds
of so many little ones, but as matter
of fact | did not hear it myself until
few weeks ago, when it was told to me
by Helcn's Swiss doll, who witnessed
the accident, for accident it was. Not
until now, therefore, have | been able
to grant their request.
One Christmas morning little Helen
came down to see what Santa Claus
had brought her, and there under the
tree was a beautiful dollhouse almost
as big as Helen herself. 1t was com
plete in every detail. In the windows
lace curtains were hung, and there was
carpet on the floor and paper on the

LITTLE MISS 'FRAlDY CAT.
She Doesn't Like to Go to he'd Alone
and Calls "Mudder."

She Doesn't Like to Go to He'd Alone
and Calls "Mudder."
Did you ever hear about little Miss
'Fraidy Cat?
During the day she is quite the
sweetest child you ever saw. She is as
good as gold and as dear as any little
daughter who ever hunted her moth
er's thimble or fetched her fathers
slippers.
But when night comes, and the shad-
ows creep around the windows, and
the lamps are lighted, and father sits
down to read his paper, then it seems
as If she were another little girl. Then
it is that she's little Miss 'Fraidy Cat.
"Come on, it's bedtime" her mother
says.
Miss 'Fraidy Cat gets into a corner,
puts her hands behind her and makes
a funny little mouth.
81 don't like to go to bed" she says.
"Tm 'fraid'
"Oh, now, now" exclaims father.
'N1y girl isn't afraid" says mother.
"Goosie" declares big brother.
''I'm not goosie," Miss 'Fraidy Cat
whimpers, "but 1 don't like to go to
bed"
Mother brings out the little nightie
just the same, and Miss 'Fraidy Cats
clothes come off. She kisses father and
brother and mother good night and
trots off to bed. Mother covers her
up and tucks her in just in that same
sweet way that all mothers have, and
the moment mother leaves the room
that funny little girl squeals:
'Mudder! Mudder! Come and stay
with me. I'm 'fraidr'
When mother asks her of what she
is afraid, she says she does not know
When mother explains to her that she
is as safe in the dark as in the light,
that there is nothing in the world to
fear. she doesn't pay bit of heed
but keeps right on squealing:
81 want some one to stay with me-
I'm 'fraidr'
But mother does not stay with her.
because mother wants her to grow up
to be a plucky, fine little woman, who
won't jump at the sight of mouse
and who won't always have the shiv-
VI" J"'' ~ ""'N 7"'' VI '" iHN Dio"9
with sob and n sigh about the corner
of the house.
Mother knows best, and she leaves
little Miss 'Fraidy Cat to herself to
learn that it is better to be brave. And,
after ALL it's just a matter of thinking
about it, anyhow. If all the little
'Fraidy Cats in the world would snug
gle down in bed, cease squealing for
"mudder" and think of the good times
they are going to have next day play
ing with dolls and rompng in the
snow and painting pictures, why,
they'd be asleep before they knew it.
And they'd never be called "'Fraid
Cat" again.-Jane Jerome in Chicago

be equaled
And the problem is, after all, quite
easy of solution. The couple spoken of
above when they had finally hit upon
the correct plan of procedure could not
understand how it had escaped them so
long.
To separate the girls had only to push
