A Sensation In Pekin1.

Considerable sensation has been caused in Chinese official circles in Picking by a dinner given at his resi- dence by United States Minister Con ger and which was attended by the leading officials of the Chinese foreign office. Among the officials present were Ma Tung, a former Boxer leader, and Wang Wen Shao, one of the Chinese plenipotentiaries. The dinner was at- tended by several American ladies. It had been formerly the custom for prom inent Chinese officials never to enter A foreign legation except upon the most formal occasions, while the meeting of foreign ladies socially would have been considered as degrading as would the associating with Chinese women upon the same footing.

Miss Cropsey's Body Found.

The body of Miss Ella Cropsey, the young woman who had been missing for several weeks from her home in Elizabeth City, N. C., was found on Friday floating in the Pasquotank riv- CT about fourteen miles from Elizabeth City. The autopsy of the physicians showed a discoloration of the scalp on the left temple, from which the coro- ners jury drew the inference that the girl had been killed by a blow. The jury did not fix responsibility for the alleged crime, but recommended that James Wilcox, who had been suspect ed of being concerned in the case, be held pending an investigation. Wilcox was the lover of the dead girl, and 1t was after a quarrel with him that she disappeared. Wilcox was arrested at the time of Miss Cropsey's disappear ance, but was later released. After the coroner's inquest he was again arrest ed and was on Monday taken to Nor folk lest a mob should seek to lynch him. Miss Cropsey's funeral was held at Elizabeth City on Sunday. She will be buried in Brooklyn, where an uncle resides

Opens With Reelection of Las:
 Years officers.
 Albany, Jan. 1.-The state legislature convened at II a. m. today instead Of at noon, as has heretofore been the GUS tom. The election of officers created lit tie interest and was carried out in ac- cordance with the programme fixed by the caucuses held last night by the Re publican and Democratic assemblymen and senators.
 The assembly officials were re-elect- ed, as follows:
 s. Fred Nixon. speaker; Colonel A. E. Baxter, clerk; Frank W. Johnson, ser geant-at-arms; principal doorkeeper, Jacob Kemple, New York; first assist ant doorkeeper, Andrew Kehn, Albany; second assistant doorkeeper, Charles c. Gray, Livingston; stenographer, H. c. Lammert, Kings.
 The Democrats named for speaker Hon. George NJ. Palmer of Schoharie, which honor carries with 1t the leader ship of the minority on the floor.
 Taxation of mortgages will be the star legislative feature of this session. All other questions that it was thought some weeks ago would cause a big fur ry have simmered down in importance until they are as nothing at all beside this greater topic. At least this is the opinion of Speaker Nixon, the man of all others who, next to the governor ought to know.
 The speaker Is also authority for the statement that the present session will be a short one, with economy for tho watchword. He believes that final ad journment will be taken by the middle of March. While there will be bills in troduced amending the present excise law, nothing will be accomplished 1T this respect during the present session.

Mir and Mrs Swann, who have been enjoying 8 two weeks vacation with Mrs Swann's parents, (the Munsons) re- turned to their home in Boston on New Years day.
 Miss Lillian Munson returned to the Normal School in North Adams Mon day evening.
 The Christmas concert and tree for the Sunday school in the church, Mon day evening, was a success. Recita- tions by the children and singing of carols by the school, assisted by the chGir, were all we'll rendered. At the close of the general exercises Santa Claus made his appearance, coming in- to view through an open fireplace which had been constructed at one side of the platform. His stay was brief but quite entertaining, particularly inter- esting to the little ones who watched him fill the stockings hanging from the mantle over the fireplace. Following this came Mrs Turner's class, of about 20 little ones, representing the "Stock- ing Brigade" These little ones done finely and their happy little faces, as they marched through the aisles and to their positions on the platform. showed how earnest they were to do their best. The exercises closed with distribution of gifts from a huge Christmas tree. All went home happy having enjoyed g delightful evening together, especially the "Marble Man" who received a very valuable (?) present.

The person with perhaps the longest
name of any person, big or little, in the
Western hemisphere, is backing boots
on Paducah's streets. This youngster
with the wealth of title will answer
to the name of Arthur or Hugh, but if
one proposes to give him all that is due,
one must address the young gentle
man as Arthur Hugh Thomas Dewitt
Talmage Hardin Ireland Marion Ed
ward Linnie Branch Sam Jones Pigue
Reuben Walker Chiles.
Young Arthur Hugh, ETC., Chiles is
the siXteen-year-old son of the Rev. and
Mrs. Il. W. Chiles. Often by way of
joke young Chiles says to a pros
pective patron:
"I'll tell you what I'll do. mister
I'll tell you my name, and if you can
repeat it, I'll black your shoes free.
If you fail, you pay"
If the man agrees, the boy rattles
off the whole seventeen as fast as his
tongue can form the words. He has
never yet failed to get the money

Care In PackIno Good Fruit.

In recent report by Secretary of
Agriculture Wilson regarding the re-
suits from shipments of fruit to Eng
land he states that the returns from
two lots of pears were 60 per cent.
more for the lot that was packed after
each specimen was wrapped in oiled
paper. 1t may be said that this result
was largely due to the fact that our
English friends were not familiar with
fruit put up in this manner and
bought it because of the novel way
of packing. Possibly there is some
thing in this, but, on the other hand,
it has been demonstrated time and
again that there is market for good
fruit put up in attractive form. 1t
would not do to pack inferior fruit
in this manner, for it would kill the
market, but the very care taken to
pack the fruit attractively indicates
to the buyer that it is likely to be
superior to that packed in the ordi-
nary manner, hence he is willing to
pay the additional price asked for it.
If one has some especially good speci-
mems it will cost but few dollars
for paper and baskets to try the plan
extensively and prove it's value
