GREAT FRIENDS
Dowaser Empress Ann and Mrs. Con-
ger Exchange Kisses Upon
Meeting and Parting.

Washington, Aug. 13--According to
well-known woman, now In Wash.
ington, a great friendship has sprung
up between the. empress dowager OF
China and Mrs. Conger, wife of the
American minister at Picking. It ap-
pears that in spite OF all the evil
charged up 10 Isl An she has the fac
ulty of attracting friends powerfully
when she chooses to exert.
When Mrs. Conger came back to
this country for the Orient after the
Boxer troubles and the siege Of the
legiOns in Picking. she was unable TO
talk OF her experiences there without
a shudder. In some way, however.
she and the empress dowager have
got on in the best of fashion since
then.
Probably no other white woman has
ever been so close TO the empress
dowager as she. Not only does she
visit the palace frequently. but ac-
cording to the authority Of the woman
herself a friend of Mrs.
Conger's, the two kiss each other on
and parting lust as two
American women might do.
