riends a crime a weakness 2


If SO, men are also very, very
weak; for they cannot get along
at all--the majority of them
without this sort of bolstering up.
Read any of the precious "ad-
vice to women" and you will see
how womankind are advised to be
cheerful and keep their hammers
hidden. You will see how woman
kind are csutiohed to be up and
doing at all times on the trent
doorsteps-ready to "smile" as
soon as the husbands turn the
corner:
The very minute the poor, dear
man comes trotting home they are
advised to beam at him unless he
loses heart and doubts their love
for him.
Better for the twins to fall down
the back stairs and yell their lit
tie heads off than that the dear
father and husband be not greeted
with a pleasant smile.
Again, according to "advice,"
they must be sure and tell him
how nice his waistcoat is, how be-
coming his tie if be is thin man,
how they hate fat, pudgy men; if
he is fat man, how they just love
fat, good-natured-looking men.
Then every little once and
awhile, according to the "advice.'
they must tell him how proud they
are of him, cause if they don't
he'll surely lose heart, and his love

chant and broker, of Birmingham.
Ala. formerly of East Bernstadt,
may yet be alive, although his
friends have caused organized and
diligent search by police and detec-
tives of Birmingham and Gadsen,

disappeared March 10. They are
now in possession of facts leading
them to believe he has probably
gone to Panama.

He could hardly have passed out

never a word of human recognition,
yet, keep nobly, steadfastly on,
performing their hard, memorable,
pitifal duties of wifehood and
motherhood.
Are not the names of these wo
men worthy to be recorded in that
book wherein are written the
stories of heroic women-of their
lives and of their sorrows9
Perhaps they bear it all from

long forgotten their promises at

Perhaps they suffer in silence
for the sake of their children,

Then. to, there are wives clad in
purple and fine linen, quite as
much to be pitied, quite as heroic,
whose husbands are disgrace to
manhood though they themselves
fail in no wifely or motherly duty.

In the illustration is now the resi-
dence and Office Of the American
representative at this important
post in the Celestial kingdom. The
salary of the American consul Is
$500, while that Of Great Britain S

to the various ports throughout the
empire. These interpreters are sent

Salaries Not IMPOSING.

The salary of the consul ct Yoko-
hama is $4,000 a year The salary of
the British consul is $4,000, and In
addition to this the latter gets an
allowance of 1897 for house rent, be-
sides being provided with commodl-
Gus Offices in walled compound.
The American consul has enough
work TO keep him busy day and
night. a fact which is readily rec
ognized when it is recalled that
during the year 1904 the exports
from that port to America ex-
ceeded S36.0OO,00O. The fees from
the consular Office at this place
which were turned over to the
Treasury Department. amounted
during that year to S21,000.

Il Is likewise in the province Of
the consular service to promote
trade conditions for American man
ufacturers and producers When
the immense and ever-Increasing
commerce of the United States is
taken into consideration it is read
fly seen that the Office of consul in
a thriving foreign city is by no
means a sinecure.
The bill no before Congress, pro-
viding for many notable changes in
the present consular system, both in
the method of appointment and in
salaries, has created a widespread
interest in the service. The homes
OF American consuls compared with
those Of Great Britain, our greatest
rival in the trade marts of the
world, demonstrate fully the made
quacy of the appropriations Low
made for the maintenance Of our for
eign Offices.
One OF the most important consul
posts in the east is that at Yoko-
lama, Japan. the chief seaport Of
the island kingdom. The home of
the American consul in that city has

falls to the lot of the American
representative to pacify the guar
dians of Moslem law without in
volving this country in interna-
tional difficulties. The Mosiems
are particularly hostile to the idea
of intermarriages of their own
women with Christian dogs" It
thus happens that not infrequently

chiefly Hebrews Forty languages
are spoken in this ancient city of
the Israelites, and this fact adds
many complications to the work
of the American representative
there. Another fact which keeps
this consul constantly on the move
is the large number of tourists who
are constantly pouring into the city.
Thousands annually call at the

and it not infrequently happens
that our representative services
are required in order to extri-

A very imposing looking consular
structure is that to be found at
Annoy, China Here, as in Japan,
the land was given TO the United
States. For number of years the
United States allowed the land to
remain unused. A progressive cor
sui was sent to Annoy in 1893, and
he, by close economy and careful
financing, managed to build home
on this land, using the rental al
lotted for the post 10 pay of the

structure was burned to the ground.

Turbulent of Russia

Another fact which contributes TO
the difficulty of this post is the
fact that its population Of $4,000 is
composed of some the most turbu-
lent spirits in all Russia 1t is a
perfect hotbed Of discomfort which
frequently breaks out into open re-
volt against all authority. During
the recent riots in Russia our repre-
sentative in Odessa was made pain
fully aware of this prediction on
the part of the inhabitants 10 over
step the bounds of law and order.
On two occasions his house was as
sailed. The mob broke in and
created havoc ip all the ROOMS which
they entered. Many OF the Ameri-
cans priced personal effects were
stolen, and he has never been able
to recover them The fact that all
civil authority had been OverthrOwn
by the mobs relieves Russia Of any
liability. Our consul, therefore, has
no redress in the matter. His posi-
ton is made all the more unfOrtu-
nate in that his salary is not COM
mensurate with the importance OF
his Office. He is given salary OF
$4,000 a year, and is allowed $500
for Office rent. and $3.50 for all other
expenses OF the Office The British
appropriation for maintenance OF its

trast. Her consul receives q salary

The conditions which obtain in the

are entirely different. That nation

a peculiar history. Thirty-hve years
ago the Japanese government do
mated TO this country the land on
which the present home Of the con-
sui stands. No provision was ever
made by this country to erect a suit
able building on the land, which had
been decided to 1t. Some years ago
an alert and progressive consul was
appointed to Yokohama He erected
a home on the site which had been
set aside for the purpose. He paid
for the building out Of his own pri-
vate purse, and then reimbursed
himself by taking the Governments
rental allowance Of $500 per year.
When he retired from Office the
building was sold to his successor,
and the latter in turn sold IT to E.
c. Bellows, who is today the owner
OF the house, though he has a sue
cessor in Office. The Government
still pays its annual rental of $500.
The rental which has Deen paid on
this property could have purchased
the house several times over, but
owing to the existing conditions no
provisions are made for acquiring a
title to the improvements, as well
as to the land on which the house
stands.
The Washington times., 1906-04-01

the United States, and yet,
strange u say, in salar-
les, in convenionces, and
in allowances for Office and residen-
tial quarters the American service is
provided for on a more meager scale
that the vast majority of representa-
tives Of other nations.
The consular representatives Of
this country are constantly in de-
mand. for the American people are
essentially rovers. The American
traveller is to be found in every cor
ner Of the globe. He is led hither
and thither by hope of gain, for sci
entif1c investigation. and in search
of health, but most OF all he is led
on by curiosity, desire to see and
know things. The Englishman trav-
els for knowledge or gain, the
Frenchman to find entertainment,
the German to spread the influence
of the Fatherland, but no other ma
tionality is so constantly on the
move as the An arican. His motives
are manifold. He combines those Of
all other nationalities.
1t is the duty Of consuls to see
that these travellers in foreign lands
are accorded fair treatment and that
they have the protection and ad-
vantages every American has right
to expect, wherever he may roam.
II the wanderer is in jail, he cannot
be said to be entirely rrIendless, for
no matter what his crime may have
been, he can always command the
attention of his consul. If he has
been treated with ever so slight an
injustice, his consul stanGs ready to
bring whole United States feet of
warships to his rescue. and to redress
the grievance.
If, IN his travels, the American
finds himself in straitened circum-
stances he stands a better chance of
being cared for and projected from
dire necessity in foreign lands than
he would in his own country. His
extremities are usually satisfied first
and questions, if any, are PROFOUND
ed afterward. 1t is the reverse IN
his own country.
