Girl

British War Lords and the American
Girl.
American women are just at present
in bad odor with the British military
authorities. For the latter do not
hesitate to ascribe to the all powerful
influence of the daughters of Uncle
Sam the growth of the practice by
officers of shaving the upper lip and
parting their hair in the middle Now
this is contrary to the military regu-
lations in England, and from time to
time general orders have baan issued
by the War Department In London
expressing its disapproval of the clean
shaver face OF its officers, as being
"unsoldierly" and demanding that they
should at once proceed to grow a mus
tache. These general orders have
been more honored in the breach tnan
in the observance, and at length mat
ters have reached such a pitch that
drastic measures are contemplated.
1t is understood that King Edward
as chief of the army, entertains very
strong views about the matter and
that it is by no means improbable that
he may take advantage OF some of the
levees next year at st. James's Pal
ace either to bar clean shaver officers
OF the army from his presence, or, If
he does receive them, to express his
disapproval of their disregard of his
wishes and of the military regulations.
This question OF hirsute adornment
is a matter which has always engaged
the attention of rulers and of their war
department. Queen Victoria attached
much Importance thereto, as is shown
by her correspondence with the late

Women in Siam.

Next to King Chularongkom, the
most powerful personality in Siam is
undoubtedly the queen. a capable and
energetic woman and altogether re-
markable parsonage. The position of
women in Siam contrasts favorably
with that among other Oriental peo-
pies. The ordinary woman possesses
such robust physique and erect
bearing that a stranger easily mis-
takes her for a man, especially as her
hair is short cropped and the dress of
both sexes very similar In the gen

A district meeting of the mem

the Workman hall in this city last
Wednesday, about 80 delegates from
Echo, Morton, Arlington, Seaforth,
Sanborn and one or two other lodges
being in attendance. Grand Chief
of Honor Mrs. Elizabeth Schroeder
of St. Paul was also present, and an
interesting exchange of views on
matters affecting the sisterhood was
had in the afternoon session, Among
other things discussed was the prop
osltion to raise rates corresponding
to the change made by the A. o. u.
w. The proposition is likely to.
come up at the next session of the
grand lodge. and no definite action
was taken at the district meeting.
1t is unnecessary to state that the
delegates were nicely taken care of
by the local lodge members, the
evening session being abandoned so
that all the visitors could see Coy.

The entire court, ministers and Ia

GERS were in the station when the
train drawing the royal family pulled
in. The weather was glorious, almost
like summer, with warm, soft breezes
blowing in from the ocean.
It was because of the beautiful
weather that an open carriage was in
waiting for the royal family, and when
they took their places they were greet
ed with some lifting Of hats, but most
ly in silence. Then as the carriage
sharply turned into the Rua Do Ar
senal there was a cracking of guns,
and a shower of bullets tore their way
into the bodies of the king and crown
prince and the little prince, who proved
an easy target. The assassins, numb
ering six in all, boldly ran up to the
sides Of the carriage and poured in
hail of lead before the stupefied escort
could intervene. The king and crown
prince, half rising, fell back into the
cushions, the blood gushing from many
wounds. The coachman brought his
whip across the fanks of his horses,
and with bound they dashed away,
disappearing into the arsenal quad
rangle. The panic stricken people,
who had fed on all sides, could see the
queen leaning over the crown prince
and her younger son, who also was
bleeding from wounds made by the
assassins bullets.
How many shots were fired no one
can say, but it was veritable fusillade
