Great Britain and to the world has
been tremendous, not In q material

been discounted in the markets for
many years. Il
Nearly all the members Of the kings

when the king died. Just before the
end came the royal patient rallied and
spoke weakly to those about him.

~ after his father had breathed his
last. He dispatched to the Lord May
or of London the announcement of
Edward Wis death. in pursuance to
an age-old custom.
Pneumonia, following bronchitis, is
believed to have been the cause Of
death, but the doctors thus far have
refused to make statement. Some Of
the kings friends are convinced that
worry over the critical political stu
alton which confronted him together
with sleepless nights, aggravated, IL 1t
did not cause, the fatal Illness.

CHINESE SLAVES ARE FREED.
Compromise, Measure Ultimately
viii Liberate Millions.

VIII Liberate Millions.
The Chinese government by impe.
rial rescript has abolished slavery
throughout the empire and has pro-
hibited henceforth the purchase and
sale OF human beings under any pre-
text. The reform, however. is not alto
gether complete, as by the re-
script certain forms of slavery will
still be tolerated. In report made
to the State Department in Washing
ton 1t is said that the retainers Of the
Manchu princes are not emancipated,
but 1t Is forbidden to call them slaves
They have long enjoyed educational
and other privileges, although still
bound to their hereditary masters.
The household slaves of the Man
chus are also refused emancipation,
but their status under the law is I'M
proved. They are to be regarded as
hired servants, but their services are
due for an unlimited term of years. so
that they are in reality perpetual
slaves Under this rescript the prac-
tice Of selling children in China in
times of famine is abolished, although
they may be bound for a specific term,
but never beyond the age of rs years.
Concubinage is still to be permitted,
but there is to be no bargain and sale.
Such concubines are to be married
with proper legal formalities, and they
will enjoy the protection Of the law.
but in reality they will be no better
than perpetual slaves to the principal
wife.
The rescript is said to be COM
promise measure, but 1t will eventu-
ally give freedom to millions OF human
beings, and is declared to mark a dis
tince advance in civilization.

WOMAN srRANe1ED IN HOME.


victim's Hair Was Used as Instru-
ment of Death.
Mrs. Ridgeway Wilson, wife of a
wealthy real estate dealer in Denver,
Colo, was found dead in a coal bin
in her home. She had been choked
with her own hair. A mystery has
been added to the crime by the fact that
there was large triangle of skin cut
from the woman's forehead. Running
from the top of this triangle there
were deep cuts extending to the tenn
pies. This strange feature was pointed
out by the Japanese consul, who was
called into the case because Japanese
servant was suspected Of knowing
something Of the crime. Several thou
sands of dollars which had been left
In the house by Mr.. Wilson when he
went away for few days visit were
not touched, nor were there any other
signs of robbery.

BLAZING WOODS PERIL
FARMS and VILLAGES
Grand Marais. MINI, Reported by
Wireless to Be Doomed
by Flames.
WIND SHIFT AIDS ASTON, MICH.
Farmers in Wisconsin and Michigan
Battle Blazes to Save Their
Homes.

A wireless message from Grand, Ma
rails, Mimi, received at Duluth, said
that forest fires were bearing down on
the village and that 1t seemed doomed.
The operator said 1t was his last mes
sage, as the fire was getting SO close
that he would have to abandon his
tower and seek safety. Grand Marais
is on the north shore Of Lake Superior
and is an old trading post. So far as
rs known, no lives have been lost. Wild
animals are being driven to the lake
shore by the fires. Reports received In
dictate that the entire northeastern part
o. Minnesota is smoldering, that hun
dreds Of men are out fighting the fires,
and that many villages are threatened
with destruction.
A desperate battle is being waged
by farmers and miners against forest
fires in four different districts within
nifty mile radius Of Houghton, Mich.
They are trying to save a number of
small settlements from destruction by
the fast spreading flames.
The woods are dry and brisk wind
is carrying the fire from tree to tree
with alarming rapidity. A change In
the direction Of the wind saved the
town Of Aston, which had been threat
ened. At L'Anse village several hum
dred residents quit labor and business
and by means Of trenches and back
hres worked to arrest the progress of
the fire toward the town. The Baraga
County inflrmatory, few miles from
LAnse. was threatened by the fire, and
only valiant fire fighting saved the
place from destruction. The inmates
were taken to private residences. Fires
are raging in Ontonagon and Kewee-
nav Counties, and also near Allouez,
Ahmeek, and Gay. The loss OF ties,
poles, and other cut timber is great.
while much standing timber is fire
swept. Fires are reported between
Laurium and Torch Lake.
The entire country to the west OF
Washburn. Wis, is being swept by for
est fires and damage running up into
thousands Of dollars is reported from
the stricken district The great blue
berry fields west Of that city have been
destroyed, Hundreds OF miles OF coun-
try is fire swept. The smoke is SO
thick that the view Of the sun has
been shut out for days. Forest fires
have leveled the south half Of the town
of Mosinee, Marathon County. Just
before wire communication was cut of
word came that a number of buildings
had been destroyed, including ten resi-.
dences. four stores. two saloons, post
Office and sawmill.
