aren't great Sticklers for morality.
They didn't find any fault with the
chief adviser of the emperor having
Irritation with pretty American
woman. The mikado, however, took
a different view. He found that the
prime minister neglected his duties
to the empire. He sent for the hus-
band of the dangerous woman and or
dered him to send her out of the coun-
try. The French husband is said TO
have expressed the utmost regret that
he could not comply with the imperial
request, because he had long before
lost control over the woman's actions.
She did as she pleased, and would not
brook the slightest dictation.
An intimaton was then sent direct
to the woman that she must take her
departure forthwith. She is said to
have sneered at the imperial mandate.
Worse than that she had the audaci-
ty to tell of the incident and to mock
the messenger who had brought the
verbal command Meanwhile the
prime minister became SO thoroughly
infatuated that he overlooked the ap
pointment of a lord high executioner,
or some official of the sort and 4
batch of criminals escaped the justice
that had been decreed to them. The
snicker-snees were so dull that the
novices who undertook the decapsta
tions made bad work of the job This
infuriated the mikadO. He hadn't auV
boiling oil or molten lead handy for
the prime minister but he wreaked
his vengeance upon the beautiful
American adventures.
She was seized one night while
party of geisha girls were dancing for
the entertainment of the infatuated
statesman, and she was carried inside
the walls of the prison, where her
head was struck off with neatness and
dispatch. Her body was buried and
all traces of her were obliterated. Her
tragic death, by direct order of the
mikado, did not distress her husband
or her good angel" The Countess
de PourtaleS" was not the only Amer
lean adventures who met death by
official mandate of a sovereign. Sew
eral years later another woman was
executed in Constantinople by orders
of the sultan of Turkey. She was eX-
ecuted and her body in weighted
sack was committed to the Bospho-
rus. This latter woman came from
Philadelphia. and was the daughter Of
Presbyterian minister The name
is so we'll known in the Quaker city
that it need not be mentioned here.

up to the galley to see if the cook had

only once-the first day. We were
foresighted enough to take some can
ned goods, crackers and eggs aboard
and these sustained us for a week. But
we found some sacks of turnips and
onions that we feasted on until the
steward "got wise" and removed what
remained.
Dinner consisted of boiled potatoes,
a chunk of meat and a big pan of
soup. We got along very we'll with

make a kind of pie of the potatoes and
meat which the cook sometimes con-
descended to bake for our supper. We

brooklyn Eagle.)

Now that we Americans are getting
into such close touch with the Japa-
nese, it might be well to recall the al
most forgotten fact that the mikado
ordered the beheading of one of the
most beautiful and notorious women
ever born in the United States. She
was born in New Orleans, according
to the best auth critics. in 1852, daugh
ter of BeauVOir Booster, wealthy
cotton planter. She was christened
Marie Adele, and received an excel
lent education. She appeared in Nev
York i'm the early '70s, and was the
most beautiful woman of her day. She
was to be seen every fine summer AZ
ternoon at Jerome park, where she
attracted great attention. She lived
in magnificent style and her dresses
excited the envy of many women. At
ter being the central figure in several
scandals here, she fed to Paris She
had handsome turnouts in the
Bois de Boulogne,, and gave sump-
tl1ous luncheons and dinners.
Count Arthus de Portales, whose
first wife Miss Jenny Lind Halliday
had been an American girl, was fas
cinated by the remarkable beauty of
the American with the creole complex
ion. and on May 2, 1876 married her.
She led him merry dance. Before the
end of the first year the count was in
voIved in two duels. He had suffi-

cient influence to obtain an appoint
ment as an attache of the French le-
cation at Toxic, and carried his fir
tatious wife thither. She ran away
with a French naval officer, and the
count, having discovered that this
beautiful creature had been married
to another man when she became his
wife, secured an annulment of the
tie that bound him to her. She return
ed to Paris and led one of the widest
lives ever known in the realm of the
cOcotterie. She is the heroine of hall
a dozen novels of the period. She
affected the literary circles and her re-
ceptions in her splendid apartments
on the Avenue Wagram, below the
Arc de Triomphe, were highly enter
tanning There was always gambling,
and the guests were not expected to
take any money away. If they won
they must give it to the hostess or
buy wine.
The picture of that tall, olive com
plexioned woman behind the roulette
table, where she presided like queen
rather than an adventures, was one
never to be effaced. After about five
years of the widest extravaganza, "the
countess" as she insisted upon being
called. fascinated another French dip-
lomatist who married her and secured
an appointment to the Japanese mis-
sion. The advent of this famous Wo-
man to Yokohama and Toxic, where
her reputation was still wildly mem
orable, has been described to me by
an Englishman who was residing i'm
Japan at the time. The two great
cities were more agitated than over

Just outside the walls of Jerusalem,
a few hundred yards north of the gate
of Damascus, lives the American
Colony" Their naeme is no index as
to who they are or what they are.
All of them are by no means Ameri-
cans. Yet those who are of other coun-
tries speak our tongue and are proud
of our name.
Some twenty odd years ago, a small
band of Christians, desiring a more
congenial atmosphere in which to live
and worship God, crossed the Atlantic
and the Mediterranean, and settled in
the city of Jerusalem In this society
are to be found natives OF Canada,
England, Scotland, Germany, Norway,
Sweden, Denmark, India ROumania,
and Palestine. Originally, the mem
bers of the colony were all Americans.
but their peculiar social and religious
life has attracted to them other peo-
pie of similar beliefs
In the colony are people who at
one time were Methodists, Bap-
lists, Presbyterians. Episcopalians,
Luthcrans, Dunkards, Greek and
Christians, or Jews But all have sur
rendered their former denominatiOnal
tenetS, and have united on the prac-
tice of Christian Socialism. They have
one uniform rule of social and religious
life-"Love God with all thy heart,
and thy neighbor as thysclf" That
embraces their entire creed.
The colony is composed )of about
$50 people-men. women and chill
dren-and they live as one great fam
lily. They occupy two large stone
buildings, together with some smaller
ones near by, situated a short distance

from the "TombS of the Kings" The
main buildings are of Oriental style,
bodied the essence of all pure relig-
ion. Their faith is simple and it's ap-
p,lcation direct They are not mission
aries as We understand the term. They
preach in deeds and not in words; and
the life of everyone is intended to be
an argument for Christianity. Their
policy is to influence others by exam
pie, rather than by precept, and, con-
sderng the people among whom they
life. they are not far wrong. Most
of the natives are so stepped in ignO-
rance and prejudice that miracles
would not convert them.
Almost all the success attainable-
and that is indeed small-is with the
children Acting on this theory, the
American Colony has a large and we'll
attended school in Jerusalem. No
charge for tuition is made. In this
way they reach large number of the
children of the natives and teach
them our language, our methods, our
ideas, and some of the pupils uncon-
sciously imbibe our religion. Undoubt-
edlv the way to missionary success
in the Holy Land is through the
schoolroom. Christians must capture

convert him. we must show him that
Christianity is better than Mohamme-

The former postmaster, man

Fayetteville citizen, and the man who
succeeded him as postmaster. In the

and their kindness will not soon be
