Dowager Empress Of China
Fears the Foreigners Have
Set a Trap.
THE RETURN To PEkIN
Is Therefore Being Accomplished
With No Little Fear and Tremb-
/ ling on Her Part.
Dominance of the Anti-Foreicn Ele-
ment At Court is Again Being
Manifested.

Pekin Jan. 3.-Several recent an
nouncements tend to discourage the
hope that the dowager empress had
learned a lesson of reform from the
events of the past year. Foreigners
are disposed to take pessimistic view
os the outlook. General YunGHu
termination to organize two anti1ibfs
eign. army corps, to onset the com
mands of the pro-foreign Chinese lead
ers is particularly disquieting and is
evidence of the continued domination
OF his influence, which is bitterly anti
foreign.
Other incidents which are consld-
cred significant are the suppression of
the only independent newspaper In
this city by order of the governor of
Pekin and the closing of the Industrial
school here, recently organized by
philanthropic Chinese. also by the gov
ernor's order. This school was intend
ed for the training of destitute youths
Other liberal Chinese will hesitate
now to give practical vent to their the
cries. fearing the displeasures of ON
cial domination. A third edict regard
ing the recent murder of a Belgian
priest tnear Ningh She Foo IN Kan
500 province) has appeared. Ii ap-
points special official to punish those
who are guilty of the crime and reaf-
firms the dowager empress's good will
toward Christians. This is unusual
activity on the part of the court in
the punishment of those guilty OF an
anti-Christian outrage. and is taken as
evidence of the dowager empress's del
sire to conciliate the powers upon the
eve of the return of the court to Pekin
Proofs accumulate that Princd
Ching's arguments pursuaded the dow
ager empress to trust herself withir
range of the legation forts. Official
arriving here describe the dowage
empress and General Yung Ia as b
ing extremely nervous and suspiciou
lest the foreigners are planning t
entrap them after their arrival ant
punish them for encouraging Boxer
ism. The foreigners will probably
view the courts re-entry into PekiH
from the wall near the legations.
The Chinese officials have beer
sounded by the ministers as to wheth /
er they viii enforce the old custom OF
restraining foreigners from Witnessing
imperial professions. The replies are
legations a strip of wall commandingI
a view of the gates of the imperial
city. and the members of the foreign|
community are planning to ASSEMBLED
thereon. II will be great innovation.

AN EARNEST TRIO
How Tree Families Keep Up a Church
and school.

How Tree Families Keep Up a Church
and School.
Mooresville. Ind, Jan. 3.-Located
on a country road two miles southwest
OF this place is a little frame church
and schoolhouse called the Bethel
Straight or the Slow Quaker church.
IL was built by three Quaker farmers
Ell Harvey. Thomas Elmore and Eli
Hadley-who with their families at
tend this church every first and fifth
day TO worship. For years they have
employed a woman teacher of their
own belief TO educate their children,
defraying the expenses from their pri-
vate means. This is done despite the
fact that public school is located
within one-half mile. The owners of
this building are the best of citizens,
and are what their names indicate
Straight Quakers.

MUSICAL NOTES.
A Quartette Forming...Mu.
SiCal Ciub...The Coming
Orchestral Concert.

Richmond will soon be represented
in the musical world by string
quartette which will be equal to any
thing in the west after little prac-
tice 1t will consist of Prof. Schlie-
wen, first violin; Walter Cain, sec
oud violiL; V. Q. Williams, viola;
Eddo Kline, cello. The make up is
excellent, every member being a stu
dent in music as well as an enthusi-
asst. They will go into active re-
hearsals at once, and after few dates
near at home will go under the man
agement of one of the bu-
reaus which formerly han
died Mr. Schliewen and take a
tour. They do not expect to leave
Richmond. This will be their head
quarters. We predict "a great sue
cess for them.
Just as we are getting used to him
in our musical work we are again to
lose Guy Middleton. He goes to
Chicago where be will attend Chicago
University, supporting himself by
playing in one of the theaters, where
he has position at $50 per week for
six performances. He will be much
missed here, because he is really a
fiutist and they IRE scarce in music.
1t is one of the changes in the music
al field. The flute not long ago was
not so much used, good clarionets,
especially E fiat, being in great de
mand. Now there are plenty of
clarionettists, but fiut lists who are
capable are rare and much asked for.
One result of Mr.. Middleton s leaving
is that we have to send away for a
player to take his place in the next
concert of the chorus and orchestra.
Who will be brought here is not yet
decided.
Miss Grace Porterfeld will give a
concert at Pythian temple on the
evening of the 18th. We have not
yet been able to get her program.
but understand her entire concert
company will be here. People are
anxious TO hear them.

heard from in Alabama. headed for
