FEAR UPRISING in CHINA
America and Europe to Strengthen
Hands Of the Dynasty.

WASHINGTON. March G.-From
Shanghai advices received at the state
Department it appears that the ruling
dynasty in China is seriously alarmed
over the effect Of the spread OF famine
and the opportunity Il offers to sedi-
tionary societies to enlist converts
against the Government.
That the Chinese Government re-
cognizes the danger is shown by the
fact that Viceroy Tuan Fang. OF Yang
king, has memorialized the Throne for
81 900, 900 to purchase East Indian rice
TO feed his people. This step was taken
TO offset the work that has been done
by the seditionary societies as well as
20 relieve the immediate suffering. In
taking his action the Vlceroy pre-
dicted general uprising I'm the
famine stricken districts unless prompt
relief is provided. but he did not refer
to the trouble that has been stirred up
by the anti Government societies.
An extra effort will be made i'm the
United States to broaden the scope of
the movement to find relief for the
Chinese. A general movement through
out the civilized world TO aid the suf-
ferers. it is believed, will enable the
Chinese Government to strengthen its
hands and possibly suppress uprising
and riots.
Any movement which threatens the
overthrow Of the present dynasty in
China gives alarm to the United states
and every European nation which hat
interests and people in China The life
Of the white people in China is believed
20 depend upon the continuance OF th'
Chinese Government as ii stands th'
Boxer uprising being cited as an In
Z stance Of What might result If the pre-.
sent Government should be weakened

This Is Spy Wednesday IN the Cath
olic Church, the day ON which the
betrayal OF Christ by Judas is brought
strikingly 10 the ears and eyes of all
who attend the church today To-
morrow is Holy THURSDAY, termed
Maundy Thursday. on which the Last

the Tomb.
The Office OF the Tenebrae, which
signifies darkness. will be chanted this
evening, Thursday and Friday Typi-
flying Christ and His twelve Apostles,
the thirteen lighted candles on the
candelabra is an impressive observ-
ance, especially when the candle sig
nifying Christ is removed from the tri-
angle and placed behind the high
altar. This Is symbolical of Christ's
withdrawal from His disciples.
During the singing of the Benedic-
tus the six high candles on the main
altar are also extinguished. All the
lights in the sanctuary are put out
producing a total darkness. Then fol-
lows a silence lasting several minutes
heard. the candle hidden behind thS
altar is brought out, and. as its soli-
tary brightness shines out from its
position in the triangle, all the lights
in the church burst forth at once. This
concludes the office of the Tenebrae
impressive Services.
At the High Mass on the morning
Of Holy Thursday the Special Host Il

JUDICIAL AXIOMS
ANENT MARRIAGE
The Divorce Germ is Strong at the Age
Of Twenty and Again at Forty.

CHICAGO, March I.-Judge willard
Even. OF the Superior Court, who has
lately held sunrise sessions Of his court
to accommodate timid wives who dislike
TO tell their stories to crowded court room,
has CLEANED a philosophy from illmated
couples Here are some Of the deductions
he has accepted;
"The divorce germ Is strong at 20 and
again at 20; between the two ages rea-
sonable men and women are practically
immune"
'There is not one chance in fifty for a
reconciliation after the petition Is fled"
EVERY woman is entitled TO alimony.
It is a great steadier. A man who is
compelled to pay It to a former wife will
think It over before he makes a hurry trip
to Michigan or Indiana to acquire a Sec
ond bride"
Church and home weddings stick. It
is the St. Joe CBichigan) and Hammond
dndIana) eiopements that prove unhappy
matinss."
Girls grow up believing marriage is a
translation to fairyland; then they bump
the bumps. They declare matrimony a
failure because attempting readjustmeni
to real conditions when the illusions fade.
Second marriages OF divorced persons
are happier than the first. They accept
the batter cakes and warmed-over hash
conditions good-naturedly and appreciate
that st is a problem Of board and clothes
and companionship instead of chocolates
sentiment and dreams"
"a man divorced twice for cruelty should
/ he prohibited from marrying again. Usu-
ally the evidence shows that the cruelty
has become a necessary habit TO him.
Remedy There is none; no, I don''
mean quite that but so far as Legislative
enactment is concerned, see no chanc,
