cfally Embarrassed.

Cleveland, o., Jan. 3.-The financial
affairs of the Everett-Moore syndi-
cate, owning or controlling number
of urban and interurban electric rail-
ways and an extensive system of To-
cal and long-distance telephone lines
in Ohio and Michigan, passed into the
control of committee of seven
prominent bankers of this city
Thursday. This action was taken, it
is stated, as the result of temporary
financial embarrassment on the part
of the syndicate, which has for some
time past been affected by the strin-
gency in the money market. The
committee chosen has been at work
investigating the affairs of the syndi-
cate, and express the firm belief that
the concern is entirely solvent, and
that its embarrassment will be only
temporary.
The syndicate has been granted an
extension of its credit for 10 months
by its principal creditors and the Of
ficials of the syndicate are now at work
on plan of action which will proba-
bly, result in satisfactory adjust
ment of its affairs.
The aggregate capitalization of all
the various properties owned OF con-
trolled by the syndicate, is said to
be about $1so,oeo,ooo. Expert ac-
countants have been employed by the
committee in charge to examine and
report upon the condition of all the
constituent companies. No state
ment has, as yet, been given out, in
dicating the liabilities of the syndi-
cate.
Toledo, O., Jan. THE financial
troubles of the Everett-Moore syndi-
cate have resulted in the appointment
of receivers for the Toledo & Detroit
railroad, one of the properties owned
by the syndicate.

EMPEROR OF CHINA.

diplomats, army officers, missionaries,
ladies, photographers and correspond
ents. When the emperor and the dow
ager empress arrived at the temple
the procession halted and their majes-
ties alighted from their chairs, which
were covered with imperial yellow
silk and lined with sables The en-
peror proceeded to the temple of the
God of War on the west side of the
plaza, with hundreds of foreigners
peering down only 40 feet above him,
and dozens of cameras were focused
upon the son of heaven. When he re-
turned his chair was borne through
the gate. Then the chair of the dow
ager empress was brought to the door
way of the temple of the Goddess of
Mercy, on the east side of the plaza,
pnd the dowager empress appeared.
Amid a great scuff1ing of attendants
she proceeded into the temple on the
arms of two officials, followed by a
company of Buddhist priests bearing
offerings. The spectators then heard
the booming of the temple bell After
an interval of five minutes the dowager
empress reappeared. Standing in the
doorway of the temple, she looked
upward. Directly overhead were the
German minister, Dir. Mum1n Won
Schwartzenstein; the secretaries of
the German legation and the officers
and ladies from the American garri-
son. The dowager empress saw the
foreigners and bowed low. She adj
vanced few steps and bowed again in
Acknowledgements of the salutations
of the foreigners. She returned to her
chair looking upward to the eemicircle
of foreign faces and bowling repeat
edly.
In the meantime the Chinese SOL
diers. Manchu bannermen and minor
officials, who had crowded the plaza,
were reverently kneeling. The two
arches at the sides of the ancient
gateway framed hundreds of faces
of Chinese coolies, who, emboldened
by the presence of foreigners, ven
tured to gaze upon their rulers.
An Appealing Expression.
The expression of the dowager en-
press seemed almost appealing as she
faced those who had humbled her
and brought her down from her for
mer arrogance, and this confirmed
the impression that she is returning
to Peking with anxiety for her
safety.
The soldiers of the American gar
rison stationed here witnessed the
spectacle from the parade ground,
opposite the entrance to the palace
The British garrison, including it's
officers, were kept in their quarters
This occasioned much lamentations
The majority of the foreign minis
ters here, including the British,
American, French and Russian rep
resentatives, absented themselves
from the spectacle, but the ladies of
the legations were entertained by
Chinese officials on balconies along
the line of march. 1t appears that
the empress dowager ordered that
every courtesy be extended to the
foreigners at Picking, and that the
efforts to exclude them from witness
ing the passage of the imperial cor
tege emanated from local officials.

Picking, Jan. S.-The remittance of
the Chinese emperor into Picking Tues
day was the most remarkable episode
in the annals of the dynasty, save the
flight of the Chinese court when Pc
king was bombarded by the allied
forces. The spectacular phases of the
return of the court exceeded expecta-
tions. The cortege was bewildering
barbaric exhibition of oriental tin
seled splendor. The events signif-
canoe was the complete effacement of
the traditional dedication of Chinese
royalty. Foreigners were given great
er facilities of witnessing the ceremo-
NAL than would have been afforded
them al most European courts.

The scene at the CHEN gate, when
the emperor and the dowager empress
entered the temple to offer thanks for
their safe journey, was nothing less
than revolutionary when viewed in the
light of all Chinese customs. The
hora shoe wall, forming the ancient
gate, was crowded with Europeans.

Handy Boxes.

HouseEeepers would find it very
convenient to have neatly covered
box in each room in which to keep
the towels, bed linen, etc., belonging
to that room. It should be large
enough to hold an extra pair of
blankets or comforter that might
be found at moments notice
should the weather turn cold during
the night. 1t is economical, too, for
by so doing the best bed linen is
saved for the guestroom, and sheets
which have been turned or patched
may be used for the children. When
the housewife has more work than
she knows how to do, she is not al
ways careful to select the bedding
which belongs to particular room.
These boxes should be padded be-
fore they are covered, and then they
form good seats, but care should be
taken that they are not too high.

Once when a transient guest at a
hotel he was seated in the dining
room opposite a lady and her little
daughter Of four or five years. Well
bred silence was preserved, but the
child looked ssBlack Jack" over with
interest. What passed in her mind
became apparent when, after a
weeks absence, he was again seated
at the table with the same lady and
her daughter. In the interim the
general had had his hair so cut that
it exposed the lower part Of the lobe
of his ears. Hardly was he seated
in his chair before the child's eyes
were fairly glued upon him. She
wriggled in her seat, then hitched
her mothers arnsviolently and said
in stage whisper:
