Here, with the cOngenial RizziO, her one mental

After the assassinat OF RizSiO Mary clung de-
vOtedly to this vOlume-tnrOugh her defeat in war,
her rOut, her fight, and found delight in its caustic

After her execution the volume passed through
attendants hands into those Of the JacObins,
through them back to France, and finally into the
hands OF NOdieT, becoming the iem Of his library.
From thence it came to the collection Of Yeminiz,
then to Bancel, who had it rebound by Rubin.

When the section Of Bangkok which includes the

squares while all around is the suggestion Of the
traditional Orient in the pinnaces and. dOmes and
spires of palaces and temples which make you
breathe the very spirit OF Eastern romance. Per-
vadiDg all is the atmosphere of centuries gone by;
the visible prOfusOn in the construction Of objects

Bangkok, the home of the crown prince who is
now touring the United States, has indeed many
distinctive features, besides plcturesqueness and
spendOr raising it high in rank among the popu-
lOus centers Of the East But it is its possession OF
the undimmed glories OF color and character inher
ted from the past, seen in combination with the
most up-tO.date innovations, that specially marks
out the Siamese metropolis a subject for curious
contemplation and instructive admiration.
There it, however, yet more striking aspect Of
Bangkok. The fact that it owes nothing to any
"invasion'' OffOreign innOvatOrs; but on the con.
trary, that neither American nor European capital
lists or prOpectOrs have ever been able to claim this
city for their own, that is, to boast of their indi
vidua or collective genius havingd done for the place
what has actually and NOSE obviously been done
for it.

that the foreigners here do not cODgregate in sepa

the probable total Of $1,000 or 100000 people
pOpulating Bangkok, numerous natiOnalities are
found, but Chinese predominant easily. We have
probably four hundred thousand Of them-they are
in fact the commercial class Of the city. Long set
tlement among and association with the aboriginal
population have resulted in mixture Of races So
that today in Bangkok, you see a great proportion
Of the people who are part Siamese and part Chi
nese. The typical Chinamans capacity to build
himself up In the commercial sense wherever he
goes, has been demonstrated here and very strik-
ingly. The Chinaman pure, or the Chinaman mix.
ed, is the business backbone Of Bangkok. Thus he
has been a good deal OF blessing to Siamese, who
are not naturally addicted to trade.
The political position Of Siam, and her admitted
danger from French territorial greed has had it's
influence upon the navgable condition Of the river
on which this capital s built, and hence upon her

Al HE growth OF American trade with
IpNf. China and the increasing popular
p III ity Of American goods in that
tkaS4FNEEA country are shown by two official
60 statements which have Just reach
SESS&SsS1aks, ed the treasury bureau statistics.
6SSSE[ One OF these is the report Of the
ASjN@4- foreign commerce of China in the
year 1901 by customs districts, which contains the
detailed reports Of the customs officials of each dis
trict as we'll a summarizatiOn of the total COM
of the year; while the other consists of some
extracts from the report Of the British commercial
attache in China, Mr.. J. W. Jameson.
The genaral report on the commerce Of China for
the year 1901 shows that the imports from the
United States have grown from 5,09S, 1S2 taels IN
1895 to %, ,529 zoo in 1901 while those from Great
Britain grew from $780, 060 taels in 1895 to A.,
223, ,538 taels in 1901, those from Russia from l.,
791 65S taels in 1895 to 3O15 756 taes in 1901 and
those from the continent Of Europe Russia except
ed from 552 O99 taels in 1895 to IL 453 taeIs
in 1901, showing much more rapid gain proper
tionately in imports from the United States than
from the United Kingdom or other countries OF Eu,
rope.
Cotton goods and -four are the items Of importa-
tions from the United States which show the great
est gain, and in cotton goods especially the inereas
ing popularity Of the American product seems to be
causing some anxiety on the part Of European manu-.
facturers and representatives Of European manuiac
turing countries. Commercial Attache Jameson
commenting upon this fact, SAYS "Cotton mann.
aotnrers finding it increasingly difficult to com
pete with the United States, particularly in the
cOarser grades OF cOtt0ns." The American mann.
facturer, be says, enjoys advantages in the way Of
geographical position, transport rates and improved
machinery. In gray goods the competition is espe-
cially strong, while in other lines American
goOdsare ct least holding their own. In eettOn
yarns the United States has up to this time made
no ehoEt to supply the demand, Great Britain, Ja-
pan and India being the chief competitors for that
class Of merchandise nearly all Of the cotton yarn ex
ported from India being sent to the markets Of
China. The value OF cotton yarns imported into
China IN 1901 was As million haikwan taels, or about
80 million dollars

bar which cannot be passed by ships Of the larger
type-twelve feet draught is the limit at high water.
The result is that maritime commerce is badly i'm,
peded, but Siam still cherishes the sand bar and
would not have it dredged out at any price. She
has good reasons for this attitude. France, from
her possessions in IndOChina, may cast longing
gances in the direction Of Siam, but she cannot dis
patch her navy to meenace Bangkok while that pro-
vidential sand bar remains.

Unless there is a great change Of senti-
ment the University of Alabama will next
fall turn out the fastest football team in
its history and one Of the fastest in the
South.
Several members of the student body
of the University we're in Montgomery
yesterday and made a thorough canvass
of the alumni of the University in the
city. Several hundred dollars were raised
yesterday morning. A substantial amount
from the University alumni at Birming-
ham was raised Thursday. and circular
letters will be written to former students
of the University now scattered all over
Alabama.
A considerable sum Of money will be
realized which will be turned over to the
Athletic Committee of the University.
With this money the best coach that can
possibly be secured will have charge of
the 1903 football team Helseman who
made such a reputation for both Auburn
and himself is the man on whom the Ath-
letic Committee have their eyes.
Heiseman for the past two years has
had charge of the Clemson team and this
season he has developed the South Caro-
lima team into one of the fastest organi-
cations in the South.
Due to Patterson's Absence.
1t is pretty big compliment to man
it game. yet that is precisely the case
with Jim Patterson of Montgomery and
the Auburn team in the Sewanee game
at Birmingham Thursday.
Patterson was hurt in the Louisiana
game at Baton Rouge, La, and Thurs
day McAdory took his place at left end.
While McAdory did his best at left end,
Sewanee started the play that ended in
the only touchdown of the game.
What the Poe family was to Princeton
the Patterson family is to Auburn. In
1899 and 1900 Will Patterson was a men,

in this part of the country In 1901 and
1902 Jim Patterson, his brother, was a
member of the Auburn team, his absence

Thursday. John Patterson. a still young
er brother. is playing on the scrub team
at Auburn now and expects to make the
Varsity team for 1903.
Speaking of the Auburn-Sewanee and
Auburn Tuscaloosa games for 1903 1t Is
very probable that they will both be
brought to Montgomery.

Paris waters AGAINST Tlpp ing.

The walters OF Paris are up. in arms
against tips. They held the other night
a meeting whose battle cry was "A bas
lie pourboire!" and are shortly to issue
handbills. setting forth the evils of the
tipping system-familiar topic, though
never before presented from the waiter s
viewpoint. Tipping Is a complicated sys-
tenn in Paris. Each "pouboire." as 1t is
collected. is put into a genezel box, aud
at the end Of the day the totAl is DIVIDED
equally among the walters. They re-
ceive no wages. but. on the contrary,
have to advance to the cafe keeper at the
beginning OF each day q sum estimated
at one-half of the days pourboire.
Whether or not the gratufties reach the
estimated total the fixed sum is paid to
the owner for expenses" One garoon
recently brought suit against his Fem
plcyer for these expenses and recovered.
The 1000 walters at the meeting deter
mined on similar action.
