,RAscieLE RULER OF CHINA.
Empress Dowager Is Sensitive About
Her Supremacy.

The Chinese empress dowager re-
Gently severely lectured Yung Luh's
daughter for wearing blue mourning
shoes. The enraged old lady inquired
how she dared to come into her pres
ence in mourning, and particularly
when her birthday was about to be
celebrated. When the bewlldered
young lady explained that she was in
mourning for her father the empress
dowager replied that she was SUI
preme, and that the mistake must
never happen again. 1t was on the
occasion of this birthday, by the way,
that the American Bible Society pre-
sented to the dowager empress
sumptuous edition de luxe OF the
Bible. The book had silver covers
embossed with bamboo and bird de-
signs. 1t was printed on the very
finest paper obtainable, with the big
gest type, and a border of gold en-
circled every page. It was incased in
a casket Of solid silver, the whole
weighing ten and half pounds, and
there was a gold inscription plate on
the cover of the casket.

Whistler's Wit.

In Whistler's student days he was
on one occasion dining with group
of friends in Paris restaurant. The
attention of the young men was pres
entity directed toward an English fam
lily near them, of whom the father
was endeavoring in execrable French
to plan dinner. Leaning forward,
Whistler, in his most charming man
ner, inquired if he could be of aid.
The stranger drew himself up with a
manner of offense and haughtily re-
piled, Il assure you, sir, can give
my order without assistance
"Can you, indeed?' quoth Whistler,
airily. 81 fancied the contrary just
now, when I heard you desire the
waiter to bring you pair of stairs. /"

READY FOR AN EMERGENCY.
Habit Of the Frontier Second Nature
to Late Senator Shoup,

Ex-senator Shoup of Idaho, who
died recently, chung close through all
his residence in Washington to one
old frontier precaution that seemed
ingrained- He would never sit with
his, back to door or an open window,
but always took a seat or stood in a
room where he could command the
entrance and where no one could
come up behind him. In his early
days in the west he had got mixed
up in one or two feuds, but being a
man of the world and quick on his
feet had contrived to come through
unhurt. During those busy and
trouble-filled years he learned the
necessity of caution. He had seen
too many men snuffed out from be.
hind not to recognize the potential
danger that lay in an unmatched door
or window. The habits of lifetime
are not easily shaken off, SO that even
in the same seclusion of the senate
restaurant Mr.. Shoup always sat
where he could keep a wary eye on
all who entered the room.

eaqpipes English Society Fad.

Society people in London are TAX
ing to that terrible musical instru-
ment, the highland bagpipe. It is even
whispered that there is "a fair royal
piper, and that the daughters of Scot
fish mobiles are rapidly becoming pro-
ficient in the art of skirling the pipes
in the hapless experience of many
visitors to the north. One alarmed
writer, in noting the new fad, says
that the pipes are trying enough
when manipulated by experts, but
that life will not be worth living
should amateurs take to trying it.

a dry-cell battery was on the other,
with two wires coupled to it. A dial
bore mechanism by which the ex-
plosion could be timed. When the
hour for ignition was reached a little
steel arm was automatically moved,
and, connecting with another, formed
a circuit. On one of the wires was at
tached Illuminating cap ready to be
applied to dynamite cartridge.
The box was not loaded, but it was
ready for business. There was small
box for caps in the valise and a copy
of a Washington newspaper.
What Rosseau proposed to do with
the machine has not yet been made
apparent, except that he told the Phil
adelphia police his mission was to rid
the seas of English ships, and that
there was powerful Irish organize
ton at his back.

whereabouts of Rosseau at the time
the Naronic was lost, and they will
compare his handwriting with the
handwriting in the note. He will be
called on to tell who "Mr. Lebrun' is
and to explain the meaning of the
note.
There is also theory that Rosseau
is the man who attempted to blow up
the statue of Frederick the Great in
Washington few days ago.
The machine found in Rosseau's
telescope bag by the Philadelphia po-
lice is similar in detail to that sent to
the Umbria. Inside the bag was box,
which fitted snugly in the case, and
was neatly made. The works, which
were those taken from a clock, were
simple. The box was about eight inch
es deep and - by Is inches long.
The works occupied one side, while

Gessler Rosseau, the self-confessed
dynamiter arrested in Philadelphia
with an Internal machine in his pos
session, has been positively identified
as the &c. Rosseau' who on May =,
1903, sent an Internal machine to the
Cunard line pier in New York for ship
ment on the Umbria.
He is believed to be a dangerous
fanatic, and the New York police are
taking steps to have him brought back
and placed on trial for the Cunard at
fair.
An interesting feature of the case is
that there are grounds for believing
that Rosseau was concerned in the
loss of the White Star liner Naronic,
which sailed from Liverpool dozen
years ago and was never heard OF
again. Several hundred men and wom-
en- were lost with the steamer, and her
disappearance has always been
shrouded in mystery.
In the house at 2S7 Washington
boulevard, New York, where Rosseau
made the machine sent to the Umbria,
was found a part of note written
in French on a scrap of newspaper,
which read:
1.-The destruction of the Naronic was
complete. Mr.. Lebrun, who at this
moment has left for Chicago"

ton contained in this note to the limit.

sERNHARDT SOON TO RETIRE?
Tragedienne Expresses Unwiliingness
to Lag Superfluous."

The rumor that has been going
about that Mme Sarah Bernhard
contemp1ates retirement seems to be
well anG truly founded. For some
time the actress has been in the habit
of cOndemning. in private cOnversa-
ton with her friends, the folly of the
player, male or female, but especially
female. who clings to the stage with
quivering and enfeebled hands and
can not see that a new generation of
playgoers want something more for
their money than great name and
a great reputation chiefly made when
they were in their cradles. 1t is
continually haunting fear with Nine.
Bernhard that she might one day
hear herself spoken of as ga woman
who really used to be grand
actress and not long ago she told
an old friend that she seriously
thought of retiring from the stage in
something like a years time.
