MANCHU DYNASTY Fl
A Thing OF PAST

PEKIN.- Speeial.-The Manchu
dynasty mas passed into history
after weeks OF intrigue and eva
sion- The imperial family ut
noon Feb. IL issued an edict an
nouncing the abuication OF the
baby emperor, Pu Xxi, and the
establishment of a republic to
succeed the government which
has ruled the Monaghan empire
Tor nearly three centuries.
although the victory has cost
heavily in money and men," said
DIR. Sun Vat Sen today, lit was
wei worth the price. The eyes
OF all the world is now focused
ON China, and we must move
slowly. We shall not allow our
fruits OF victory to be wiped out
by haSty action.
For weeks the ablest lawyers OF
our party, headed by DIR. Wa Ting
rang, the attorney general of the re-
publican cabinet, have been working
upon the formation OF a constitution
which shall embOdy the foundation
or Chinese liberty i'm the future.
But first we must extend our
power and make our government re-
spected in the remote sections of the
republic.
Il believe that there will be nc
more fighting, although a republican
army will be kept standing.
I'VE recognize the fact that out
laws and others with no respect for
either the republican flag or the
dragon banner will attempt to carry
on their depredatiOns under the cloak
OF revolution, but this will not be al
lowed. We are going to safeguard
the lives of Chinese and foreigners
alike. Now that our country is a re-
public in fact, and with only one cen
trail government, we shall expect
speedy recognition from the other
powers.
My policy will be in the future as
it has been in the past, to secure
peace and a stable government by
the promptest methods possible. Ny
simple aim is to insure peace and
for the millions of ouI
subjects"

Ancient Puffs and Switches.

The Greek. Egyptian. Carthaginian and Roman ladies of twenty-five cen turies ago made us of the most aston- !shing quantities of borrowed hair, and the Roman women of the time of Au- yustus were especially pleased when they could outdo their social rivals by piling upon their heads greater tower of additional tresses. They also ar- ranged curis formally around the head An extensive commerce in human hair was carried on. and after the con- quest of Garl blond hair such as grew originally on the heads of Ger man girls along the Rhine became very in Rome. Caesar did not disdain to mix little cOmmercialism with his military enterprises and col lected a vast amount of hair from the vanquished Gauls, which he sent to market at Rome. and in the Roman provinces cropped head was regard ed as a badge of slavery or at least of The hairdressers of Rome were persons of real importance and charged exorbitant prices for forming the hair into fanciful devices. such as harps. wreaths and diadems. = New York Herald.

 FENCE FOR POLO GROUNDS z FIGHT.

President Thomas J. Lynch. of the National League. yestsrday afternoon suspended Bill Dahlen, of Brooklyn, till May, in addition to timing him $1OO and. also fined Umpire Rigler $1O0 be- cause of the impromptu scrap between the two at the conclusion of Satur- days game at the Polo Grounds. Lynch would not discuss his ruling. He intimated, howver, that he believed the player-manager chief instigator of the trouble. E
 The leniency Of tine executives sen tence was somewhat surprising to the talent, who remembered the ipdefi- mite suspension drawn by Sherwood Magee, of the Phillies for assaultir :. Umpire Finneran last summer. The row was the result of a dispute over a ball batted into the right field stand by Catcher Wilson, of the Giants Rigler declared it a home run and as such it won the game for New York, Dahlen argued that it was clearly a foul and in his excitement jostled the arbiter. A moment later the two had come to blows. The combatants were separated by the other players before any great amount of damage was done

Baker, whose front name was originally Frank, joined the Athletics at the beginning of the 1909 season, and his hard, clean hitting and ex- cellent fielding soon made him a fa- vorite with the Quaker City fans It was on April "A, 1909, that Baker went to bat, when the bases were full, ana smashed out home run. tallying four for the Athletics. Pitcher Arellanes was in the box for the Bostons when Baker made that smash. Bakers feat. the only home run with bases filled during the 1909 season in the Amerl- can league, was naturally hailed with Joyous acclaim by the Philadelphia bugs, who immediately and in uni- corn, as H. Togo would say, present. ed Baker with the Home Run" pre- fix. a name which be has since fully lived up to. Incidentally it may be remarked that, while hits good for complete circuit of the bag are not infrequently made, home runs when the bases are fun are about as scarce

This is the time of year when we order the band to strike up the star Strangled Bananas" announce that the coming season will be the greatest the Connecticut league has ever had and 'also remark that our boys will win the pennant We might stand for the stuff about the league having good season, butsthat Chatter about Bridge port whining the calico would go bet ter in the foolish factory.
 It ig a risky business to try to call the turn on ball club but you aren't taking much of a chance when you say that the Mechanics at present don't look so strong on paper as the 1911 ohtftt. The hitting strength 1s- mt there- In their exhibition contests the boys have showh~ themselves fast fielding outfit and it is a certainty that the team will be faster on the paths than in1911. A combination of speed 4nd good pitching has been known to produce a winner even when the hitting is light so perhaps the fans can And some consolation in that. On the face of the records, however, there are only two regulars who are due to hit 50 or better. They are Capt. Crook and Bob Stow
 The catching staff with Corkins, Brewer and zBengen looks promising The hzlr1fng crew also looms up strongly. Walker, Bfbbs and Snyder have been tried in the Connecticut league and have proved their worth Hooks Cunningham appears to have everything an experienced ffinger needs and Becker and Tlckey are likely looking recruits.
 Capt. Crook is there like a duck on first and Bob Stow if he gets off with a good start, will be a whirlwind on second. Frank O'Rourke is a flash at shortstop but whether he can hit remains to be seen Cy Miller, Bern ard Harz1s. and Frank McMahon will fight 1t out for third. Miller has the best chance at present but he will have to exert himself to beat McMa- bon, who has the style of capable infielder The absence of Reull and Litscf1i vii be felt for neither Miller nor OlpDurike bat as well as their predecessors
 It is in the outfield where the big change is noticeable. Skipper Eley will be on deck but Hi Ladds long clouts vii be missed and So will Ben ny Kauffs drives. Carf0n, Foran and Norris can't compare with Ladd and Kauff as hitters. One thing that fa- vors the Mechanics is the fact that

London as . Fssnchman Sees It.
 The little French bly has every op- portunity of getting an engaging idea of London. In a recent volume of French and general geography, which has run into several editions, the com piler gives an English reading from the works of M. Enault, whoever he may be. And the little French boy is told concerning tbe London of this cen tury that there are in the best parts of our unhappy city whole streets formed of dens dug out of the soil, which itself was only a mass of rub. bish." And again, "A little further on bands of half starved men without fire or shelter take refuge in gypsy vans, which vans are buried up to the axle trees in mud" People also sleep in wheelless cabs. for which they pay a rent of 121a cents week. We Lon- doners should not have known any thing about this If M. Enault had not told us.-London Chronicle
