no measures are being taken to harass

a mile and half wide at Yongampho
and the southern bank is within the

forts of the companies on the Yalu

that especial interest will attach to a
report made by Henry b. Miller, Uni

is evident that considerable progress
has already been made, and that
while the pine being handled at Port
Arthur is not equal to the Oregon pro-
duct, 1t is good enough for the CON-
mon markets of China, and will be ac-
cepted for most purposes. Most OF

Independent German Noblenan Gives
Up Life OF Rsase for That Of 1n-
structOr in Iowa.

Eldora, Ia, boasts having as one Of
its residents real German baron and
member of one. of the Oldest and most
aristocratic families of Europe. This
citizen is Baron Heinrich Hans Her
mann Gustav Alexander Edmund Won
Reitzenstein, of the family Of Reitzsn-
stein, older than the reigning family Of
the Hohenzollerns, a. the records prove.
This young baron, who is about 70
years of age, has lived there for the past
year, and for the means Of passing away
the time is engaged in teaching school,
and, being finely educated and or an
aristocratic family, is held In high o.
TEEN in the community.
Baron Won Rsitsenstein moves In the
best society, and is very successful at
his chosen line Of work. He does not
need to thus employ himself TO gain {
livelihood, being constantly In receipt d
remittances from his German bankers
but he is an Independent nobleman, who
loves America and her people. and pre-
fers to thus live In the United Statss
than to spend the remainder Of bis dayu
in castle homo upon the Rhine.
Baron Won Reitsenstein has flve broth.

WOMEN SCARCE IN FIJI.
ses Question in IsIsnds Reaches Sc
rious stagk-statistics of Britt
ish Isn ms grafton Clerk.

The sex question in Fiji in connection
with the Indian coolie immigration into
that colony has reached such serious
stage that ]. w. Davidson, one OF the
clerks in the British immigration de-
partment. has been compelled to write
minute about 1t.
He points out that at the end OF 1902
the percentage Of females to males Of all
ages in the colony was found to be61.13,
the number of women in 100 adults being
about 30.
Such a disproportion Of the sexes, he
says. SIS favorable to the prevalence oi
those complications and grievances
which account for the majority OF homi-
cides. and perhaps also of the suicides,
which have to be recorded annually, not
to mention many violent assaults"
Mr. Davidson refers TO statistics,
showing that for every 20 girls born into
the world there are 21 boys and quotes
Buckle, the historian, as saying: "If
the proportion which is kept up In the
births OF the sexes we're to be greatly
disturbed. even for single generation
society would be thrown into the most
serouSconfusion. and great increase
in the vices OF the people would infallibly
ensue."

JAPANESE WIVES.
Not ON the Same Social Plane with
Their Husbands-Iittle show
of C0nJaOal Love.

The position Of the Japanese wife
is not that Of equality with her hus.
band. He is the jiese lord, to be
obeyed by her in the most servile man
ner. He exacts from her, writes Jason
Trench, in the Smart Set, the little
attentions that an American woman
expects, and usually gets, from her
husband. without SO much as a mur.
mur of complaint from his spouse,
who must always receive him with
bows and smiles and ever have her
mind and sysa ON his comfort, he goes
and comes when he pleases. When
he fares forth socially. he does not
take her with him; when he receives
gentlemen in his own house--a rare
thing, by the way--madame seldom
presents herself, unless In some menial
capacity. And while such q thing %
conjugal love must exist in Japan, It
usually escapes ths notice Of the for.
eign sojourner. the people considering
It vulgar to exhibit emotion of any
kind in public. The wife as . social
unit being completely submerged, II
follows that others of her sex must
take her place socially, and in this
office the geisha girls play an impor-
tant role.
