MANCHUS HOLD PEKING;
THRONE STANDS PAT

LONDON, JAM 2S.-The affairs OF
state at Picking are now in the undls-
puted possession of the Manchu reac-
tionaries and Yuan Shi Kai has aban-
doned his task, according to advices re-
ceived by the American consul at Tien
Tsin and reported from that city today
by the correspondent of the Exchange
Telegraph company. The dispatch adds:
1.-THE situation in Picking has under
gone an extraordinary change. The i'm
perial family has reversed its policy and
abandoned all thought of abdication.
Yuan Shi Kai has stepped aside and the
whole control is in the hands of General
Yin Tchang, who was credited a few
days ago with recommending a general
massacre of the Chinese by the
Manchus
YIN Tchang assumes an attitude of
frmness toward the revolutionary lead
ers and is said to be preparing to re-
sumo hostility. 1t is reported that all
negotiations which have been going on
with a view to abdication have been
summarily broken off"

plements Of war, and it fell to Mr..
Folsom's lot to do this.
As a result many a brave Confederate
officer carried a shining sword made
by L. B. Folsom from a discarded
ploughshare. OF especial interest to At
lantians and all Georgia, is one sword
that he made. This one fell into the
hands OF the cavalry leader, General
Forrest, who later presented it to Gen.
Clement A. Evans, who recently died in
Atlanta. This sword is said to be still
in the possession of the Evans family
Several years after the war, Mr.. Fol-
som went into the restaurant business,
buying a small place on East Alabama
street This he operated for a number
of years, and then decided to move to
Marietta street
He purchased first a little property. the
site Of which is now a part of the big
Third National bank building, and which
is next 10 the present restaurant.
After a few years of success he
bought the site OF the present Folsom's
restaurant and hotel of the same name.
There for the past 27 years he has
been conducting a restaurant, the name
of which is synonymous with Atlanta in
the minds of many men from over this
land adjoining states. Always exercis
ing personal interest IN the reStau-
lrant. Mr.. Folsom maintained through
out his life q bill of fare there that re-
minds one OF the good things served in
the south during the days before the
war Associated with him in the res
taurant for % years was Jake Johnson,
who died a few months ago. The death
OF this employee and friend of many
years was a severe blow to the aged
pioneer and one from which he never
recovered.
About seven years ago Mr.. Folsom
took a trip to California and there he
found his nephew. Henry L. Folsom, son
lof a brother who had immigrated from
Maine to the west at the time Mr.. Fol-
isOm left for the southland.
At his uncle's request. Henry Johnson
came to Atlanta with his children to
look after the business, which was be-
coming a burden to the pioneer. Even

between his congregation and his chick

That was how, probably, he could
raise eight children on a country-church
salary. The raising of chickens helps

chickens-a sort of an endless chain
system. When the latest baby came three
years ago the preacher turned the chick

a great deal of care must be given, or

ager after carefully weighing the opin-
ions expressed by the princes of the inn
perial clan and leading Manchu officials
during yesterdays conference at the pal
ace is inclined to think that the re-
sumption of hostilities is the only So
luton of the present situation
This statement was made today in
the North China Daily News, which al
ways is regarded as an organ of the
foreign board in Picking.
It is understood that Premier Yuan
Shi Kai has agreed to fight for the
throne. 1t is believed, however, that he
will await an attack by. the rebels.
The foreign legations. on the other
hand, consider that the abdication of
the throne has been deferred only for a
time.

mustn't let everything be eaten up. These
people expect something every day, and
l want them to have it
Another thing, Mr.. Folsom never
turned down a tramp in his life. NO
matter how dirty a man looked, If he
came to Folsom's restaurant and asked
for a bite to eat and Mr.. Folsom saw
him, he was shown to a table in the
rear, and there served a meal.
about FIVE months ago Mr.. Folsom
Joined the church He went by himself
one night to the First Baptist church,
and was baptized by, Rev. Charles w.
Daniel. Typical of him, he came in the
next morning. and never said a word
of it to anybody-not even to my brother,
who, until his death, a few months ago,
was his most intimate friend.
This is the way he came to be bap-
tized when he was Sc years of age.

and told Mr.. Folsom she would like to
do something for him. He asked what 1t
was. She said she wanted to- pray for
him.

long time the woman knelt and prayed
for his salvation.
"'You are the first person who ever
prayed for me, Mr.. Folsom told the wo-
man whe she had finished.
1.-The very next night Mr.. Folsom
Joined the church, as I have just told
you. And no one would have ever heard
of it, If the young lady secretary Of
the church had not told me afterwards.
"Mr Folsom was idolized by the ne
gro help who worked for him, and there
was never one who got in trouble but
that he came to Mr.. Folsom, and he
was always taken care of. For years he
gave every negro a turkey on Christ
mas. and sometimes there would be 30
negroes working for him. He had one ne
gro who works at night who has been
with him ever since the restaurant was
started
