CHINA'S EMPRESS
MAY QUIT JOB
Career of Woman Ruler of
Kingdom.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 21.-
(SpeciaD i'm diplomatic circles here
there is a feeling that some interest
ing and important news may be forth
coming from China in the near flu
ture A persistent rumOr has been
current for several months that the
Empress Dowager intends to abdi-
cate at the next Chinese New Year,
which falls on Jan. 81. According
to report she desires to hand over
the cares Of state to the Emperor. A
secret decree has been issued, it is
said, calling a meeting of the Grand
Council to make arrangements for
the change.
Tzi-hsu is now seventy-tWO years
old She is the daughter of a Man
chu, who, being in a financial difficult
ties in Canton in 1888, sold her, then
an infant of three years, to a rich
merchant. In 1S48 an imperial pro-
clamatiOn was issued, calling for eli
gible Manchu maidens between fiji
teen and eighteen to present them
selves at Pekin for view as the Sec
ondary wives of the Emperor Helm
flung Tzi-hsu was among the first
ten on the chosen list. She won the
admiration and affection of the En-
porer and later bore him son.
Hien-fung died in 1860 and Tzi-hsu
placed her son on the throne under
the name of Tung-chi.
AS there was no heir to the throne,
the infant son of Prince Chung was
adopted as the son of Emperor Helm
fund and thus entered upon the in
heritance of the great dynastic line
as emperor by succession under the
name of Kwang-su. The regency
remained the same.
Kwang-su assembled the throne in
1876, and during the early years OF
his reign the Empress Dowager was
supreme, although the Emperor nom
inally assumed full control of the
Government in 1889. He was in
favor of reform and in 1898 issued
some DEGREES in that direction, which
resulted, in September of that year
in the restoration of the regency by
the Empress DOwager, who RELOCATED
the Emperor to the background and
has kept him there vigorously ever
since

DICK LAW WILL
BE AMENDED

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. I'll
(SpeciaD-The Dick Militia law,
which was originally designed to be-
come effective today, will probably
pass through many changes before
it becomes acceptable to the military
organizations of a majority of the
states. Under the terms of the act,
compliance is necessary to secure
the annual federal appropriation for
arms and equipment.
Many military authorities declare
that it will be almost impossible to
bring the militia of all the states up
to the standard Of the regular army.
A few of the more populous eastern
and central states will be able to ac-
complish this although they have
been forced to introduce many reforms
in the organization of their militia
States with only a small militia or
ganization have not the population or
resources necessary to carrying out
the order, and the requirements will
have to be changed or their national
guard abandoned

VACATED PROPERTY is QUICKLY
FILLED.

In the news columns of the Times
Recorder of Tuesday was contained
the statement that the business houses
vacated by the saloons on January
1st, have been rented for other pur-
poses. In the majority of instances
stocks of merchandise of different
kinds have already been opened up,
and for the rest leases have been
signed and stocks will be displayed
soon.
All of this is most gratifying to the
citizens of Americas, many of whom
were fearful that the vacated build
ings might stand idle for some time.
In less than three weeks after the
prohibition law went into effect, the
ranks have been closed up.
While the tax on the new enter
prises will not be equal to the saloon
licenses, the money heretofore spent
for intoxicants will be largely divert
ed to channels where the returns to
the purchaser are calculated to in
crease his earning capacity.
The new industries will greatly
improve the condition along a part
of Cotton avenue and will increase
property values, along that thorough
fare.
The Punishment of the saloons will
hardly be felt by Americas nor will
there be any signs of For Rent" to
greet the eye on any of the places.
AS time goes by the loss of the sa-
oons will not only not be felt in the
city's revenues, but the number of
new establishments of different kind
will enlarge the city's reputation as
retail center.
The coming year will no doubt be
the banner year in the retail trade.
The wholesale trade will also feel
the stimulus of more money through
the territory covered by Americas
wholesalers in the diversion of money
formerly spent for liquors into the
purchases of groceries and other
things. In fact, the coming year
promises to be a prosperous one for
all lines of the city's activity.

STILL LIVES

BELLEFONTAINE, OHIO, Jan 81.
Especial Lucinda Carrothers,
mother-in-law of Robert Crowley, a
Big Four conductor, is up and around
in her usual health after being
twice given up for dead.
Mrs. Carrothers was taken sudden

physicians pronounced her dead. The
body was being given the usual care
while awaiting the arrival of an un-
dertaker, when the jar of an over
turning chair revived her.
A similar attack soon followed and
the family was so sure death had TAX

by telegraph and arrived to attend
the funeral only to find the aged wo-
man still alive. Physicians are I'M

Be still, my palpitating heart

The star Of hope in pantaloons
Looms largely just ahead.
This is the year arranged for us
By natures generous plan,
When, if | do not lose nay nerve,

Once every year in four we get
A chance to take the lead
In matters matrimonial
And our own cause to plead
Tis not immodest is us then
To look man in the eye
And pop the question uppermost
If he is slow or shy.
Now we may rise and take the lead
Or go and call men out
And take them in our little rig
And trundle them about,
And we may jolly them along
With patience, care and skill,
Or We may take them to the play
And let them pay the bill.
Oh, leap year. you are for our use

Provided when the test is made
We have the needed sand,

Remain without a mate.
