n EKING, January THE Imperial
Court entered the Forbidden City
at 1:30 o'clock this afternoon II
was the most brilliant scene Peking
ever witnessed. The procession con-
sisted of a thousand gorgeously attired
noblemen mounted upon glittering cap
arisoned horses. The Emperor the En-
press Dowager, Prince Chun, the EN-
press and several princesses were borne
in yellow chairs, their escort carrying
hundreds of gay banners and silk um-
brellas. The troops of General Yuan
Shi Kai, Governor of Pe-Chi-Li, pre-
ceded the Emperor. The foreign COM
munity assembled on top of the Chang
gate.
The cortege was a bewildering bar
barrie exhibition of Oriental splendor.
It's chief significance was the complete
effacement of the traditional deification
of Chinese royalty. The scene at the
Chang 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 Emperor proceeded to
the temple of the God of War, with
hundreds of foreigners peering down
only forty feet above him, and dozens
of cameras were focused upon the son
of heaven
Then the chair OF the Dowager EN-
press was brought to the doorway of
the Temple of the Goddess of Mercy.
and the Dowager Empress entered. Af-
ter an interval of five minutes she re-
appeared. Standing in the doorway of
the temple she looked upward. Direct
ly overhead were the German Minister,
and the officers and ladies from the
American garrison. The Dowager En-
press saw the foreigners and bowed
low. She returned to her chair, look
ing upward to the semi-circle OF foreign
faces and bowling repeatedly. The ex-
preston of the Dowager Empress
seemed almost appealing.
The streets from the Machiapo sta |
tion to the gateway OF the Forbidden
City, a distance of four miles, were
swept and garnished early this morn |
ing. Residents were compelled to re-
main in doors. The soldiers and police
formed close Gordon along both sides .
OF this entire distance. The special /
train bearing the Emperor and EN-
press Dowager arrived here shortly af-
ter noon Four companies OF Chinese
cavalry were drawn up apt the sides OF
the station Two tboIjcaud officials

Judge Gear expects to return to Hon
olulu on the City of Peking, which
leaves here on January Il. Gear is
alone at the California hotel, but is
managing to keep comfortable without
the society of Sam Parker and George
Davis.
Samuel Parker is an earnest candi-
date for the Governorship of Hawaii.
He believes that he will succeed Gov
ernor Dole, when the latter steps out
OF his own volition, or when his term
expires. Parker will make a steady
for the Governorship from
now on, and expects to be aided a great
deal by Harold NJ. Sewall. who is now
in Washington.
It seems almost certain that Sewall
does not want to be Governor OF Ha-
wall, and that he does want TO be en-
bassador or minister to some great for
eign power.

DR.. WOLTERS
IS SERIOUSLY
INJURED

DR.. st. G. D. Wolters was thrown
from his horse at Beretania and
Punchbowl streets last night and re-
ceived injuries which threaten to be
serious.
DR.. Wolters had been late at his Of
fee attending an emergency case with
DIR. Herbert and was proceeding home
wards on horseback. While he has not
been able to tell what happened it is
presumed that his horse slipped and
the road and against the curb stone.
DR.. Wolters was found unconscious
on the street by a policeman and was
removed to his home in the patrol wag-
on. Drs- Cooper and Herbert were
summoned and they found that DR..
VOTERS had received severe concussion
of the brain, though they could not To-
cate any fracture of the skull.
DR.. Wolters recovered consciousness
and was resting fairly easy at mid
night.
f. Wilhelm, the contractor, was quite
badly hurt last evening. While alight-
ing from an electric car he was struck
and knocked down by a horse and the
wheels of the buggy passed over him.
He was taken to the office of Drs.

found that he was badly bruised, but

COlORS THAT MAKE A
WOMAN LOOK THIN

White makes woman look big,
innocent, winsome. and classic. Clear
white is for the blonde, cream white
for the brunette. Is it not the woman
in white who has all the attention,
and the wide-eyed young thing in
white with blue ribbon, who captures
all the beaux?
Black is the thinnest color a stout
woman can wear; indeed, the woman
who wears black to the best advant-
age is she who is stout and has black
eyes and black hair.
In gowns of certain colors flesh
seems to shrink; in others to expand.
A subdued shade of blue, heliotrope
and olive green. with black, of course,
are the colors under which flesh sees
less ostentatious. while certain shades
of blue, pale gray and almost any
shade Of red are to be avoided. Mauve
and the higher shades OF green are
the two colors that in decoration about
the throat and shoulders are especial
" helpful in diminishing the effect of
flesh.

MANY REAL PRiNCESSES
WHO WANT TO WORK

1t will come as surprise to Ameri-
cans to know that many princes and
princesses in Europe are sadly hamp-
cred by their titles in their efforts to
earn an honest living as BARRIERS, SER
want girls and in other humble call
ings.
If they could get money enough
to land in New York with a good sup
ply OF clothes, they might do well
enough; but, unhappily for them, they
are obliged to stay in an aristocratic
community where titles are too COM
mon.
In many parts of the cotinent the
fathers title is inherited by all his
children, and there are several vii
lagos in Austria, Poland and Russia,
in which all the peasants are legiti
mately descended from some princely
ancestor.
They are legally described as
princes in all official documents,
and on leaving their homes many of
these peasant princes find themselves
sadly hampered by the burden of a
high sounding title.
They cannot get rid of the titles
however, as they are purely personal
ones, and not marketable commodities.
like so many in Italy and Portugal,
and by the police regulations no en-
ploye can be engaged without showing
his papers which his rank, age and
occupation are statel.
Needless to say. few people are will
ing to engage workman of legally
far higher rank than themselves.
The newly married French wife of
wealthy Russian noble was about to
engage Russian maid at St. Peters
burg, when, on seeing the papers, she
discovered that the girl was princess
and member of a we'll known but
ruined family.
The girl had been vainly seeking
employment for months, but the lady
declined to engage her.
On reaching her country seat, how.
ever, the lady discovered to her amaze
ment that the housekeeper was a
countess, the hen-wife a princess,
while the farm bailiff, blacksmith and
coachman were possessed of titles
equally imposing.
AS their homes were situated in the
village of the rich woman's estate,
their real social position as little farm
ers was we'll known.
Had they sought employment else
where. however, they would in all
probability, like the Princess Zulu
kidse. have quickly sunk to the low
est grade of society.

that there are many little things which

It is common to talk about the won
derful strides made by modern science,
but looking at the matter from anoth-
er point it is really astonishing how
many things most desirable for human
welfare remain TO be done.
Modern science is always being
praised. Sermons and pamphlets and
magazine articles vie with each other
to laud it to the skies. 1t is said to
have achieved so much. We are bid
den to look at its achievements and
wonder There is the telephone, the
telegraph, the electric light, the Roet-

that life is revolutonized from ti,at
which our fathers lived, and that We
have reason for great pride. and. in

But there is something to be said
on the other hand. Modern science
has worried and hurried us: it has
driven us and excited us into state
which is ever at fever point; it has
hUd;ilet us together in towns where
there is scarce breathing space and
has not yet succeeded in bringing the
air to US; it has made us more COM

Mrs. Brune. an absolute stranger to
the mass of Pine Bluff theater-goers,
rendered so for want of a play house
in the last few years, appeared at the
E]ks theater last evening to repre-
sentative and critical audience A
better pleased audience never gather
ed at play house in Pine Bluff and
more artistic production and a great
or actress than Mrs. Bruno have
never been seen here. To a great
many Pine Bluff people Mrs. Bruno
was a doubtful quantity. They read
glowing press criticisms of her artls-
tic success, embellished to the eX-
tent of the critics power. They were
assured that her appearance here
would be the artistic success of the
season: but they had never seen her,
and few had heard of her until her
enoaeement was announced here.
But to Pine Bluffs credit a large
audience attended the production OF
"JJnorna" last evening and no peo-
Dle are now more fiattering in their
Draise of Mrs. Bruno than those who
displayed an Indifference towards her
for reasons stated.
Mrs. Rrunes career presents an
interesting anomaly. She has always
been great but this season marks her
first great triumph. and the best critics
of the land laud her. That an actress
of her great power and sterling worth
should SO long have been kept in the
background while so many imported
and domestic mediocres are thrust up
on a long suffering public is not easy
to understand.
Mrs Brune was seen by number
of Pine Bluff people in ''Theodora,
in which she made an excellent repu-
tstion, and while she was great in
"Theodora" she is greater in "Unor-
ma
"Unorna" is taken from an Indo
European myth. The first scene is
on the river Ganges where is located
the Temple of Galah, of which "Unor
ma" is prestess. She possesses su.
pernatural powers of hypnosis by
which she stays tiger from taking
human life The scene of the re-
manning three acts is laid at Prague,
where is concluded a story full of
fire. 1t is story which absorbs the
audience from beginning to end.
There is no reason why ,'Unorna'
should not be success. This match
less tale by F. Marion Crawford, the
great romantic literateur, is one which
appeals to all alike. powerful and fas-
cinating
Mrs. Burne's support is all that
could be desired. the leading man, E.
R. Spencer as Capt. Helmar Dreycott,
and Frank Hennig, as Kafka, both
being actors of power, and the entire
cast being an exceptionally strong one.
The scenery employed in every act
represents the most artistic work of
the scene painter and the color eff
fects add charm to the production.

seen, only the highest press mention
has been made and all seem to agree
that it is the lyeliest, brightest and
funniest play of this or for many a
season. The plot of play is made
more of a feature than is usual in
farce comedies, the situations and
episodes are of the most humorous

of the most interesting of its class
of dramas and one that holds the at

it is said there is no abatement of the
attention given to it by the theater
