MRS. CONGER DENIES
CONVERTING AN.
Chinese Minister'S Wife Ad-
mits Having Close Friend
ship Of D0Waqer An.

Des Moines, la, June 24.-"It is
perfectly absurd to imagine that 1
could in my positio' convert the
Empress Dowager to any religion"
Thus spoke Mrs, L. II. Conger, wife
OF Minister Conger, formerly OF China,
but now OF Mexico. Mrs. Conger has
arrived at Des Moines and the above
statement was called forth by q
query as to the report tnat under
her ministrations the Empress Do
wager has been led to embrace
Christian Science.
Mrs. Conger says that the mission
aries are doing great work in China,
but for the wife OF a diplomat to
undertake tasks supposed to belong
exclusively to the missionaries would
be regarded by Chinese officials as
unbecoming and would at once dis
count their influence for good.
While attempting to urge her own
religious views on she Empress, Mrs.
Conger did succeed In winning her
lastingfriendship.
"The last audience was one of the
saddest partings ever experienced,
she seemed SO sincere In her friend
ship said Mrs. Conger. after l
had bowed myself out she called me
back and gave me this jewel, and
through her interpreter told me she
wanted it to go with me through all
my journeys, and that it would pro-
tect me from all harm. We were
both overcome and | withdrew
silently.
"Since coming to America | have
written to her Of my safe arrival and
the guarding presence OF the jewel. 1t
ia a wonder to me she does not want
1t back, as it has been cherished by
Chinese rulers for centuries back"
The charm is curious shaped
amber stone, hung to a heavy cord
with silk tsssels. Mrs. Conger says
that at first she had q prejudice
against being entertained by the
Empress Dowager and especially
against eating the food prepared for
her, but soon overcame both. Sheis
firm In the belief that the Boxer
troubles are at an end.

Covington, Ky, June 24.-In an
address to the members to the Ken,

the laws against bribery In all OF the
states were considered as practically
a dead letter. Up to that time, for
the so years preceding, there had
only been about 81 cases OF bribery
reported In all the United States.
When the prosecutions were com
menced In st. Louis the members OF
the House OF Delegates denounced
the bribery law as blue law and as
a dead law because 1t had not been
enforced before.
"Thegambling laws in many places
are permitted to be disregarded and

Somebody has said that the vices Of
the very rich and of the very poor are
Identical. 1t is a matter of specula-
tion whether their appetites are also
similar, for the very poor woman
finds great solace in her cup of tea and
drinks quantities of it; so also does the
rich woman. Alcoholic stimulants are
also favored by the one who finds life
monOtonous from poverty and she who
finds it equally monotonous from
wealth. One can have nothing she
wants; the other has everything she
wants; result with both, an almost un
