board OF examination with reference
to certain questions put to a primary
school In an Indiana town.
Il desire to recommend Mary Will

one of the board in a note appended
to the report. Being very young.
Mary naturally missed the point OF
all the questions in the examination

instance SO ladylike and refined that

DEATH OF CHINESE EMPEROR
!. FOLLOWED BY THAT OF DOW.
A6ER EMPRESS.
INFANT ON THE THRONE
PRINCE cHUN AS REGENT As
sUMEs GOVERNMENT OF
THE COUNTRY.

Peking.-The Emperor died shortly
after o'clock Saturday afternoon.
The Emperor had been III for long
time and during recent audiences with
foreign representatives he was unable
either to sit up on the throne or even
In an erect position. II was evident
for long time that he would be unable
to Withstand n crisis which sooner or
later must develop In the disease from
which he was suffering. Recent eli
matte extremes caused fatal complica.
tions.
The report OF Friday that the Dow
was confirmed by the foreign board
Of the government.
At the moment OF the death OF the
Emperor the Dowager Empress own
death chamber chair was waiting in
the court yard.
TsZe Hsi An, the Dowager Empress
Of China. autocratic head Of the govern
ment. which she directed without sue
cessful interference since 1861. and
without protest since 1851. died at 2
O'Clock Sunday afternoon.
The announcement OF the Dowager
Empress death was official and fol.
lowed closely upon the announcement
that Kuang Hsu. the Emperor. had died
Saturday ut 5 O'Clock In the afternoon.
but 1t is believed the deaths occurred a
considerable time before that set down
in the official statement.
An edict issued at 8 o'clock Sunday
mn In v,In tho thrnun prtnra
Pu VI. the three-year-old son Of Prince
Chun. the regent OF the empire. in ac.
cordance with a promise given by the
Dowager Empress soon after the mar
riage Of Prince Chun in 1903. An edict
issued on Friday made Pu VI heir pre-
sumptive.
The foreign legations we're notified
Sunday morning by the foreign board
Of the death Of the Emperor and the
succession OF Prince Pu VI. Troops
have been in readiness for several days
to quell any disorders that might arise
on the death OF Kuang Hsu. and the
possibility OF uprisings was made
greater because of the fact that the
death of the Downger Empress was
known to be close ut hand.
FRINGE Chun. the regent. has ordered
the viceroys and governors to take pre-
cautions for the continuation OF the ad-
ministration Of the provinces as here
tofore and he has ordered a hundred
days of mourning. The court will go
into mourning for three years.
Picking already has been greatly
transformed. All red objects have been
removed and blue substituted. The peo-
pie learned this evening Of the death
of the Dowager Empress and although
the Chinese are in no wise emotional
they showed that they were profoundly
impressed by the passing of their pow
erful ruler. The foreigners in the city
are watching the strange ceremonies
! with great interest. At the palace
elaborate rites are being observed, ana
a flood Of edicts has been sent forth.
Deathbed observances of 5000 years
ago marked the passing of the Emperor
and Dowager.

Mark Twain on Art.

Mark Twain and a party OF friends
recently went to visit the studio OF .
young sculptor who is coming rapidly
into public notice. One Of the pieces
which was admired greatly by the ma
jority of the party was the figure of .
young woman coiling up her hair.
Mark listened to the encomiums in
silence. and when urged for an ex-
preston of opinion said slowly:
"It is beautiful. but 1t Is not true to
nature"
All expressed their surprise at this
unexpected verdict and demanded his
reasons.
"She ought to have her mouth full
OF hairpins." replied Tom Sawyer's
father.
