II wss rot only IN the wisdom OF Sc

of the BarbizOn School made their
strongest appeal 10 the public. II was
unqueStiOuably one of the dominant fac

mains that this group Of artists were
men OF strong artistic feeling. their
hearts were IA the work, and their af-
IecN0nS were conferred I'M the subjects
which they produced on canvas. They
delivered their message in their own
way: IL was worth the telling because
they themselves believed in It's truth
and the public listened. and after many
OF them had toiled and died almost i'm
want, appreciated their worth and ac-
knowledged them as masters.
In this collection there are examples
OF etchingS by the masters named. Their
compositions are simple. Little selec-

In addition to granting amnesty for
certain specified offenses, the edict re-
wards all imperial princes, princesses
and dukes; it promotes all officials by
one degree and bestows hOnors on
their parents; it grasses the dement's
entered against minor officials; adj
vances the degree of scholars; dis
misses all pending petty criminal
cases; excuses certain liabilities and
grants bounties to the soldiers in the
service of the empire
The fact that the enforcement of
the new emperor has taken place has
in part re-established confidence
here and has resulted in the prophe-
sy in various official circles of an
extremely conservative rule. The
doWager empress has reinstated the
notorious eunuch Ii Len Wing as
head of the palace administration.

CATTLE ARE DYING.
Thousands Are Said to Be Perisbing
in Colorado.

AHouSdhuS are Salu TO BE PePiShing
in Colorado.
A Denver dispatch SAYS thousands
OF cattle on the ranges in Colorado
are reported to be starving with the
prospects that there will be unprec-
edented loss to the cattlemen dur
ing the winter, which began early
and caught the majority of the stock
men unprepared. Feed is selling at
almost prohibitive prices in the range
districts, hay now bringing from
$25 to $50 per ton in the Arkansas
valley and Park range districts
CHARLES Lamb, state veterinarian
says that the cattle are already in
the condition they usually show in
February after they nave been forced
to pick the ranges bare for subsist-
ence, and that many of the herds
look as though they would be de-
pleted by over half before Christmas
IN the park range district the FIRST
snow, which fell early in October
sun covers the ranges, and hundreds
OF cattle persisted in the first storm
OF the past few days. Range cattle
cannot be shipped because of their
poor condition.

MRS. ARMOR IN LEESBURG.

A Leesburg dispatch says Mrs.
Armor lectured there to a large au-
dience. She was particularly severe
on the blind tiger operators, and just
ly so, but her comment on the man
who pretends to be a good citizen
and yet hides for one of the tigers
was peculiarly appropriate. Lees
burg has been greatly benefited by
prohibition. Trade has increased,
and peace and quiet has been
marked.

FOOLSCAP PAPER.
An Old Record Shows Origin of the
Strange Phrase.

Strange Phrase.
There is a strange phrase whose
origin has puzzled many. From an
old record it appears that Charles
of England granted numerous monop-
olies for obtainment of money for his
purposes, independently of the parlia-
mentary grants, among others the
manufacture of paper. The water
mark of the best paper of the time
was the royal arms of England. The
consumption of this article was great
and large fortunes were made by
those who had purchased the ex-
elusive right to vend it.
This, among other monopolies,
was set aside by the Parliament that
brought Charles to the scaffold; and
by way of showing contempt for the
king they ordered the royal arms to
be removed from the paper and a
fool with his cap and bells substi-
tuted. 1t is now more than $50
years since the fools cap was taken
from the paper, but still the paper of
the size which the revolutionary
parliament ordered for their journals
bear the name of the watermark
placed there as an indignity to King
Charles.

PEKIN.-The street mourning
which has been observed in this city
since the death, a fortnight ago, of
Emperor Huang-Hsu and the Dow
ager Empress of China, was suspend
ed long enough this morning to per-
nit the ascension to the dragon
throne of the baby Emperor Pu vi,
who becomes ruler of the kingdom
under the name of Hsuan-Tung.
The ceremonies were performed by
officials of the highest rank and a
number of coolies of the most hum
bic classes in the empire were
brought into the palace to act as wit
ness.
Following the ceremony an i'm
perial edict prOclaiming the ascen-
sion was issued. This communica-

was one of striking interest. 1t in

Emperor a fodder.

The imperial programme for the
function ordered that music for the
occasion be prepared, but that not a
single note be played; this because
OF the mourning of the court for
their late majesties. The function
began by the princess of the imperial
family and the high officials of the
empire kowtowing to the tablets of
their late majesties. After this they
all kowtOwed in turn to Pu vi. Pu
vi then offered sacrifice before the
tablets of the emperor and the dow
.ager empress.
After this he was relieved of his
dress of mourning and clad in a di-
minutive imperial garment embroid-
cred with the imperial dragon. His
nurses performed this duty with
great attention and care. Thus ar
rayed the toddling emperor assembled
