Of Honor, an exquisite cameo likeness

a Knight of the Rising Sun of Japan.
These are silent reminders of a few
OF the honors conferred upon him for
his great work during the Boxer
trouble in China.
Chamot's position as a hotelkeeper
in Peking had much to do with the
effectiveness Of the work he performed
in succoring the starving Europeans
who were being besieged py the Box

The hotel was located just behind
the British legation and when the
members Of the foreign settlement
sought refuge there Chamot converted
the hostelry into a fort. Every device
was used to make It impregnable
against the attacks of the Chinese and
when that was done Chamot further
undertook to obtain food for all within
the legation walls.

companied by an escort Of tugs,
mororboats and United States war
ships.
Rattleships Barred.
The battleships and cruisers can
not make the trip up the river on ac-

torpedo boats, submarines and one
cruiser drawing not more than twenty
two feet will steam UP the Hudson
and participate in the celebration at
local points.
