Half an hour before they were made

Edwards had no idea they could be
married for several days. as they had
postponed action until something could
be learned of the movements OF Mrs
Letitia Newlands Edwards. the divorced
wife of the Virginian. The first Mrs.
Edwards was in the Office all day. and
rumors of dark plots came out of the
east: but after Edwards learned from
his lawyers that there was no legal
ground upon which the woman could
reopen the divorce case he gave word
TO go ahead. and the justice was
called in.
Mrs Eastman was arrested recently
under a law which forbids an unchap-
eroned woman to live in a house with a
male companion
Preston Harrison. brother of Mrs.
Edwards gave the bride away Mrs.

NOVEL CHARITY
DONATION PLAN
Livingston Brothers Give 1000
TO Institution Selected by
Their Customers

The big Fillmore street dry goods
house of Livingston Brothers recently
announced a unique method or dlstri-
button of their annual charity 1und'
proposing to their patrons that theS
make the selection OF the organiza-
tions TO whom the money would DO
sent.
II develops that the requests for
donations for charitable purposes by
the merchants of this city run up into
the hundreds. and even IN the largest
establishments. where very hberal ap-
propriations are made for cnafltE'
only small and insufficient sums can
be given to each applicant At this.
the busiest season OF the year proper,
investigation can not be made when
so many apply. and so numbers OF un-
worthy persons asking in the name OF
charity receive sums of money that
should properly go to a deserving IN
stitution.
After much deliberation Livingston
Brothers hit upon the novel plan or
dividing their 1908 appropriation OF
81 900 into four respectable sums or
$500, $3.50. $3.50 and 500 and letting
their patrons decide which organiza-
tions should get these amounts
Mr.. Livingston said yesterday BY
this plan il seems to us that the money
will go TO worthy objects. and eaeh
amount is large enough TO do some
material good. Almost everybody Is
interested in some charitable 1nstitu-
ton. and this offers any person a
chance TO do a little good without ex-
pense and with but very little trouble
Our customers simply write the
name of the Organization that they
favor on the back of the sales slip re-
ceived with their purchase in our store
and put the slip in the ballot box az
the door as they pass out Every 10
cents OF their purchase counts for one
vote. We do the rest. We accurately
count and check the votes; publish a
daily bulletin of how the voting stands
and January T. 1909. will mail checks
TO the four charities receiving the
largest number OF votes.
This relieves US of the unpleasant
necessity of refusing some applicants.

DAYS
OBSfQUIES IN CHINA
Princes Go to Western Tombs
to Select Site for Grave
of Emperor
Nothing Develops to Prove That
Empress Was Poisoned and
Peking Is Quiet

PEKING, Nov. 17.-An edict issued
today instructs Prince Pu Lun and
Prince Pi to proceed to the Western
Tombs and select a site for the grave
of the emperor. There will be con-
tinuous obsequies at the palace for a
period of 27 days.
These obsequies began yesterday and
the function was attended by Dowager
Empress Yehenala and representatives
of the various governmental depart
ments.
The local press is beginning today to
publish details of the occurrences of
Saturday and Sunday. Up to the pres
ent time they have said practically
nothing of the events at the palace and
the PRONUNCIATION of the regency The
new Dowager Empress Yehenala with
great presence of mind arranged for
the meetings of the grand council to
be held in her private apartments.
Here the plan that already had been
discussed and decided upon was adopted
without loss of time
The councillors warned the prinsess
that the regency was final and in terms
that were not open to misinterpreta-
ton they expressed the opinion that
any opposition thereto would be
promptly met and punished.
Nothing has developed in Peking to-
day to substantiate the reports that
the emperor of China or the dowa ger
empress were poisoned or otherwise
were the victims of foul play. All the
foreign legations here agree that the
emperor died a natural death. Opinion
varies, however, regarding the end of
the dowager empress, but all the de-
auctions in her case are negligible and
in no sense related to the source
whence have come the circumstantial
details of the passing away of their
majesties.
Disquieting rumors are still circu-
lated today regarding the future rela-
tions between Prince Chun, the regent
of the empire; Prince Ching, president
of the board of foreign affairs, and
Yuan Shi Kan. a member of the grand
council, who as head of the reformers,
enjoys the passive support of the
United States, Great Britain and other
powers that command respect at court.
The police today succeeded in put
ting stop to the runs on the native
banks in this city that began yesterday.
The government contract business has
been temporarily suspended. Complete
tranquility reigns in the city and gem
darmes and sentriesAare patrolling the
streets. Four thousandesoldiers are re-
tanned on duty surrounding the palace.

dence. their sympathy; then appeal directly
to the mentality.
Self sacrifice is natural to a woman. Her one
desire is to do much, to expend too much
vitality. to work too hard. Also find that
when you arouse a woman's sympathy and
work with her, she becomes alert. quick to see.
In this respect she is far superior to men. Her
intuition is remarkable. She can read your
thoughts in your face and feel an answer; she
responds as quickly to the mental touch as a
piano to the hand of the player The more one
appeals and talks with the serious woman. the
more deeply one gets into her emotions and
the bigger the emotions become,-the minor
tones. the big tones, the sacred tones.
l find one gets far greater results from a
woman than from man; she IS much more
sincere One seldom finds man perfectly
willing to make every sacrifice for his artistic
advancement. He has the idea that to be
perfectly artistic is to have all the frailties of
life and nature; that these 60 hand in hand
with genius. But you see the woman living in
a garnet, drinking bottled milk, eating stale
sandwiches, and going almost with holes in her
shoes,-yes, she will actually giv up her home,
her sweetheart, if convinced that the step is
to advance her in the profession she has chosen.
In studying the quality OF woman. one
must above all things consider her intuition:
This is quicker, keener, than the intelligence of
a dozen men. One can hardly describe it. 1t
is flash, something you know without reason
ing out, something you feel without seeing, yet
something you see by feeling. A man leaves
a woman in the morning or at night. and she
will say, 81 feel something's wrong; be care
full: l don't feel that all is well with you"
And she is almost invariably correct. This
subtle quality is something that comes from
afar. Apparently, it is not unrelated to the

affection for you, warns you of impending dis
aster. look out But this power is much keener
in the woman if she loves you; then every
