Emily Brown. an American Girl,
Crowned Empress Of Korean
Empire.

Empire.
Appleton, Wis, July 19.-Born In
the barkwoods as the daughter oian
|itinerant missionary and at 40 the
Empress Of an Oriental Kingdom and
mother Of the heir apparent to the
Korean throne is the story OF Emily
Brown, a native of Appleton and now
the Empress of Korea.
Last January Vi Honge, Emperor
OF Korea, celebrated the iortieth an.
niversary OF his coming to the throne,
and on the same day beautiful
American woman, named Emily
Brown, daughter OF the Reverend
Herbert Brown, a missionary, and
long the light OF the Emperor's ha-
rem, was crowned Empress OF Korea
and her son declared heir APP aren't
to the throne. Up to the time OF her
coronation Emily Brown was known
as Lady Emily. Now she is the
Empress ON, which in English means
dawn OF the morning"
Emily Brown was born in Apple.
ton, Wis, about 1860, her father,
the Reverend Herbert Brown, being
anitinerant Presbyterian missionary
who lived here only a few months,
and her mother a remarkably beau.
tiful woman. When Emily was
about Is years old her father went
as a missionary to Korea and issaid
to have been the first Protestant
missionary to settle in the capital oil
Zepul. His wife and child went with
him. Emily sang in the mission
church, and, learning the language
rapidly, came to be used as inter
prefer in church dealings with the
Government.
Her beauty was reported to the
Emperor and he commanded her to
enter his harem, which she indignant.
ly refused to do. About two years
later she concluded to accept the
Emperor's protection and went to
live in the palace after securing from
the Emperor a solemn promise oi
marriage when affairs Of state would
permit.
This promise was kept. For many
years before her marriage she was
the iavorite and confidante OF the
Emperor and now she is Empress in
name as she had long been in fact
and her son has been recognized as
the heir apparent to the Korean
throne. These facts were learned
here by recent private correspondence
from Toxic, Japan, from American
missionary SOurces.

Brutally Tortured.

A case came to light that for per
sistent and unmerciful torture has
perhaps never been equaled. Joe
Golobick of Colusa, Calf, writes;
"For Is years l endured insuffera BILE
pain from rheumatism and nothing

on earth for that trouble. A few

Cittadini, the city magistrates, the
nobility and clergy petitioned that
Mgr. Pecci be appointed to the place.
The pope consented provided the
consent Of the archbishop could be
obtained, and that was given as soon
as asked for. On February 26, 1854,
Perugia celebrated the elevation oi
her bishop to the cardinslate, In
which celebration all ranks and
orders of society joined, for Cardinal
Pecci was most popular even among
men who did not belong to the
church, and all delighted to do him
personal honor.
Pope Plus TX. appointed Cardinal
Pecci carmerlingo in 1877, This Of
fee gave its occupant charge Of the
temporalities OF the church during
any vacancy OF the papal chair, and
with it came Cardinal Pecci's resi-
dence In Rome.
In January, 1878, Plus TX. died.
As camerlingo it was Cardinal Pecci's
duty to make arrangements for the
conclave in which the new pope was
to be elected.
A full two-thirds vote was necessary
for an election. On the altar stood
a large challice and one by one the
cardinals knelt before the altar and
declared he chose the man he consid-
cred most fitted. Then, rising, he
deposited his ballot.
On the first vote the name OF Joa.
chin Pecci appeared twenty-three
times. On the second he received
thirty eight. On the third, taken on
the morning Of the Goth oiFebruary,
1878, he received sixty-four and was
declared elected. The sub.dean, the
senior cardinal priest and cardinal
deacon approached the seat Of Cardi.
nal Pecci.
Do you accept the selection made
OF you as supreme pontiff OF the
Catholic church," asked the sub.
dean, and Cardinal Pecci replied: 81
accept" The cardinals rose as the
subdeacon knelt. "By what name
do you wish to be called?" "By the
name OF Leo XIII"
Pope Leo celebrated his first iubi
lee in 1888, in commemoration of the
fiftieth anniversary OF his elevation
to the priesthood, and In 1893 he
celebrated the fiitieth anniversary ol
his being raised to the rank OF arch.
bishop. There have been many other
celebrations toward the end OF his
life, the latest being in March of this
year, when he celebrated the OPEN

THE DEATH OF LEO.
Last Moments Of the Dying Pom.
tiff Described by Those
Who Were at the
Bedside.

Rome, July 20.-The emaciated and
liieless frame Of Pope Leo XIII, who
died this afternoon lies on the vatican
bed beside which almost all the
world has prayed. The red damask
coverlet rests lightly over the body
the cardinals scarlet cape is about
the shoulders, while on his head has
been placed the papal hood OF velvet
bordered with ermine. A white silk
handkerchief is bound about his
chin, and in the hands which have
blessed so many thousands has been
placed crucifix. So Pope Leo will
remain until tomorrow, watched by
uniformed officers OF the noble
guard and rough-clad Franciscan
penitentiaries who will keep u cease
less vigil until the burial ceremonies.
Pope Leo's final moments were
marked by that serenity and devo-
tion, and when he was conscious that
calm intelligence which is associated
with his twenty-five sponti6cate.
His was no easy death. An hour be-
fore he died, turning to DR.. Lapponi
and his devoted valet, Pho Contra, he
murmured, "The pain l suffer is most
terrible"
Yet his parting words we're not OF
the physical anguish that he suffered
but were whispered benedictionsupon
the cardinals and his nephews, who
knelt at the bedside, and the last
look OF his almost sightle.s eyes was
toward the great ivory crucifix hang
ing in the death chamber.
A MoMENToUs CAREER.
Leo XIII was the son OF Count Do
menico Lodovico Pecci OF Carpineto
and Anna Prospect Buzz. He was
born March 2, 1910. Count Lodo-
vico Pecci's wife was the daughter OF
q noble Volscian family living in the
ancient city OF Cora, the modern
Cori. She was a woman OF extraor-
dinary ability and strength OF char
acter. Joachim, or, as his mother
always called him, Vincent, was the
fourth son.
That Joachim Pecci should under
the training OF such a woman as the
Countess Anna, turn his attention
to the church was only natural. She
belonged to the Third Order OF ST.
Francis, an association founded to
bring men and women closer to the
church. From his earliest years the
boy had been accustomed to seeing
the brown habit and sandaled feet OF
the brothers and to listening to the
story OF the life OF st. Francis OF As
sisi, as told by his mother.
While he was a student in the Col
lege OF Noble Ecclesiastics Cardinal
Sala took the warmest fancy to the
young scholar and gave him much
advice OF the greatest value.
Cardinal Sala saw to it that Joa-
chin Pecci was attached to the Con-
gregation of the Propaganda, and
Cardinal Lambruschini, who was
the popes secretary ofstate, had him
appointed official to many import
ant bodies.
In May, 1S41, Mgr. Peeei was re-
called from Benevento and appointed
pspal delegate to Spoleto. This sent
him to Perugia, one Of the hotbeds
OF the revolutionary societies, and
the organized opposition to the
church, which was to be the mans
work for many years.
Joachim was in his thirty.third
year when Gregory XVI appointed
him apostolic nuncio, or papal am
bassador to the kingdom Of Belgium.

LANGUAGE And TRADE.

From The London Times.
On this side Of the Channel there ia q
widespread feeling that. unless we arouse our
selves in this as in other things, we shall enter
upon some mOnentous conflict some day with
even less knowledge OF our opponents than was
displayed IN the case Of the TranSvaal war. and
that the rivalry Of our competitors in trade is
rendered more formidable by the fact that they
are better informed than OF the prevail
ing ideas in foreign markets. result largely due
TO their superior skill in the use OF foreign Ian
guages.
The French Il would seem, are also becoming
aware that they are suffering from abilities
not very different in kind, though less serious N
degree since their commercial relations with the
external world are not comparable with ours.
Still il is obvious that France can no more
afford than any Of her neighbors to be handi-
capped by imperfect opportunities OF intercourse
with the surrounding countries. But
both in England and I'm France progress In the
mastery of foreign languages will be slow and
spaSmodic until those who conduct the educa-
tionaI systems OF both nations have come to the
conclusion that il is both their interest and their
duty to give serious and organized assistance
TO a branch of study for which hitherto no ade-
ouate provision has been made.
