Empress Has Passion for Flowers.

Isl An, dowager empress Of China,
has such extravagant fondness of
flowers as seems to be incompatible
with the general idea that she is a
bloodthirsty old woman In her pri-
yate apartments she always has
masses Of the most beautiful flowers
and the same is true Of her throne
room, her loge at the theater and even
the great audience chamber when she
transacts affairs of state. Her males

known that courtiers, princes and
high officials daily send her the choic-

AMERICAN ACAPTIVE9
REPORT THAT COL. FOUNTAIN Is
PRISONER OF. BANDITS.
Former District Attorney Of New
Mexican County, Long Thought
Dead, May Be Victim Of the Ven
seance Of Cattle Thieves.

Credible information has just been
received that Col. Albert j, Fountain,
former resident Of Las Creuces,
N. M, who, with his son, was sup
posed to have been assassinated or
captured by bandits nine years ago in
the White Sands country, northeast
of Las Creuces, is alive and held cap
tive in the mountains Of the state of
Sonora, Mexico.
Col. Fountain was waylaid, killed
or captured nine years ago while re-
turning home from term Of the Dis
trict court in Lincoln county, where,
as District Attorney, he had been &C
tive in securing many indictments
against cattle thieves Of eastern New
Mexico. Whether the Colonel and his
son were positively killed or taken
and held in captivity no one ever
knew. One thing is certain, he van
ished and no trace of the man or boy
alive or dead has ever been found up
to the present time. The story Of
Charles Clump, recently from Mexico.
however, indicates that Fountain is
yet living.
Clump, prospector and guide in
Mexico, claims to have met and talk

tains, Mexico. He claims that he and
the two Fountains started for the
American border and Travelled for
three days and nights in a desperate
attempt to escape. They were eventu-
ally overtaken by, outlaws and fight
ensued. One Of the outlaws and two
bloodhounds were, shot by Clpmp in
defending the fleeing party. During
the combat a bullet struck Clump In
the leg, which put him out Of the
fight. He staggered backward and
fell into a ravine covered with bushes,
where he remained unconscious for a
long time. He finally revived and
dragged himself to the bank Of the
gulch, only to find himself alone.
Whether Col. Fountain and son per-
ished or were recaptured and return
ed to their prison in the fastness of
the mountains Clump says is a, mat

Ryan Financial and Physical Giant.

Thomas F. Ryan, the new president
of the Equitable company, has in the
past few years extended his power,
and influence in SO many directions
that he is frequently spoken of as
greater man than Pierpont Morgan,
yet only a very few of New York's
population know him by sight. And
this in spite of the fact that he is a
giant in stature, standing 6 feet 4 In
his shoes. He is 54 years old, of spare
but muscular frame. Far from being
satisfied with his already vast field
of operations, he is constantly looking
for ways and means to extend it.
