Emperor William and Secretary Hay
Nipped in the Bud Well Laid
Scheme of France.
THE SECRET HAS LEAKED OUT.
Old World Powers Had Planned a
Division of Eastern Asia, But Their
Schemes Came to Naught.

Washington.-An interesting diplo-
matte secret, explaining certain
events of the past and having an i'm
portant bearing upon the future Iela-
tons of the powers, may now be dis
closed. The information comes at an
opportune moment for just now the
diplomatic world is eagerly discuss
ing the alleged violation of neutral
ity by France in permitting Rojest-
vensky's fleet to make use of KAN
ranh bay as a base. There are well
defined rumors of the formation of a
closer alliance between Great Britain
and Japan, an alliance which, If e.
fected, may send the English fleets to
Japan's assistance in case the Rus
SLAMS win a victory over Togo's ships
AMI in foreign chancellories and in
embassies both here and abroad much
speculation Is rife as to whether the
victorious Japanese ever will get out
of Manchuria, or whether on one pre-
text or another, they will remain there
indefinitely and virtually add that
rich empire of 5O,OOO,0O0 of people to
their territorial possessions.
The disclosure involves the United
States and all the leading powers of
Europe It will be remembered that
a few days after the outbreak Of hos
tilities between Russia and Japan
fourteen months ago, Secretary Hay
sent out to the powers his now ia
nous note asserting the principle of
the maintenance of the "administra
tive entity" of China and inviting ad-
herence thereto At the time it was
generally supposed Mr.. Hay had done
this in pursuance of his well-defned

the factories and railroads because
they are Poles. They say they will
have vengeance"
A letter from Wilma says: Work is
impossible under the existing condi
lions the governments endless com.
missions have accomplished, and the
landlords, workmen and peasants are
convinced that open revolt and the
bayonet are the only remedies. Eas-
ter may witness the Inauguration OF
another insurrection like that of 1868,
which began as this may, with Rus
sian massacre"
Commenting on the above, the Russ
declares the government must act
if awful carnage is to be
avoided. The only thing to be done
it says, is to summon the moderates
to give guarantees that the promised
reforms will be realized.

IDEA OF NIGHT WATERMAN


"M6uy people have an idea that
night watcluuen are stationed
about the great stores and imam
cial institutions in this city to
fight burglars should they turn
up" remarked one of these guard
ians OF Tie wealth.
The fact is there is no idea
that any such Waterman shall en-.
gage a burglar in combat at any
time. The care Of such inStitu.
lions is so systematized that there
is no occasion for such a proceed
ure, even should a Waterman be
equal to handling a burglar,
which most of them are not. The
night Waterman is merely a part
of an alarm system. His duty is
to keep a sharp lookout for suspi-
cious persons, and before one of
them gets a chance to do mischief
he IS expected to turn in an alarm
that will call to his relief within a
Jew minutes a squad of police of
ficers, if necessary, to take care OF
the prowling thieves.
in order to assure faithful
care by the Waterman he has to
ring up the alarm service every
half hour of the night. One ring
means that he is there on the look.
out. If he sees anything suspi.
cious and wants assistance it is
only necessary for him to give the
proper signal, and before any
damage could be done the officers
OF the law are there ready to do
business. 1t would never be OF
any advantage to the burglars to
do the Waterman any harm, be
cause before they could trouble
him they would be nabbed and in
the hands of the law. The fact
that this system Of watching the
valuables of the city is so efficient
" conducted results in very few
burglaries wherever the system
is in force, Thieves know the
danger of hanging about the city
in places where their presence
would cause suspicion, and they
generally keep away. These fel.
lows get wise very quickly"

BEAUTY is MADE TO ORDER
Artificial Roofs for Mouths, Auto
matte Noses and Other Devices
Supply Natures Failirgs.

The best artificial noses nova
days are made of papier mache,
enameled. Such a nose is fast
ened to a spectacle frame some
times for the sake of convenience,
and thus may be put on or removed
at brief notice.
There is a patented cOntrivance,
somewhat resembling a clothes
pin, for attachment to the nose to
give to the organ a proper taper.
Another device is supposed to i'm.
prove the lines of the mouth.
Not a few people have no roofs
to their mouths, having been born
without any, or in other cases hav.
ing lost them by disease. For
such unfortunates artificial
mouth roofs, made of galvanized
rubber, are furnished.
There is a patented device for
cleaning the tongue, consisting of
a knife with a concaye edge ia
which a sort of sponge brush is at
tached. When one is not well
ones tongue is liable to be dis.
agreeably coated, but the annoy.
ance may be removed by means OF
the instrument described.
If you desire dimples you may
wear a certain kind of wire mask
at night to which are attached
blunt wooden points that may be
caused, by the help of screws, tC
press upon the points where the
dimples are wanted. Thus after
awhile the dimples are made t,
appear.
