Remarkable Rise Of Abyssin-
ian Empress, Taitou.

Adds Abeba, Abyssinia.- After three
years of detention in Ghebbi Empress
Taitou. the wife Of King Menelik, has
been granted her freedom The right
full heir to the throne has also been
granted his freedom. % .s
The empress domain will be in the
vicinity Of Adds Abeba.
Empress aTaitou of Abyssinia was a
very interesting character. according
to what information has been learned
about her. Details of affairs in the
African empire have been difficult to
obtain and even today Europe is not
quite sure whether Emperor Menelik
is dead or alive and still ruling his
country. It is known definitely that
the heir to the throne has been desig-
mated in the person Of Lig Yassu, the
grandson of Empress Taitou. but
whether he has taken up the reins Of
government is yet to be ascertained. !
Empress Taitou. according to a
Frenchman who journeyed through
Abyssinia some years ago. was wom-
an of the lower class. as they place
rank in Abyssinia, and she was mar
r1ed at an early age. Following that
she was married many more times.
and at each stage of her matrimonial
career rose higher. ~ /,
In 1885. when the coming empress
was about thirty-two years old, she
married Menelik. then king. She was
"a wonderful woman. and her ability
was recognized. Besides. she was
counted as a beauty. sf. 5-4ss 81
4 Later Menelik rose to the supreme
step Of emperor. and Taitou rose with
him. .y
Menelik fell i'll at one time-in fact
one of the many times that he has been
tll---and while Taitou cared for him
like dutiful wife she carried on at the
same time a conspiracy, the aim Of
which was to place her on the throne
upon the death Of her husband. But
many circumstances operated against
the empress. and she YVES driven from
the ,Abyssinian capital. Adds Abeba.
Menelik recovered. and Taitou's grand
son. Lig Yassu. whom she heartily
hated. was proclaimed heir.

THREATS WORRY MRS. SUlZER
Governor Gets Many Letters and
Guard at Mansion Doubled.

Albany. n. Y, July 2S.-Scores of
threatening letters have been received
recently by Governor Sulzer with the
result that the guard has been doubled
whenever the governor leaves the eX-
ecutive mansion or goes on the street.
There have also been placed at the eX-
ecutive mansion two men whose orders
are not TO let any one pass unless they
give in detail the nature of their busi-
ness.
Many of the letters are signed,
though the governor believes the
names are fictitious. Many Of them
are unfit for publication and have
caused much worry to Mrs. Sulzer.
Governor Sulzer goes to the capitol
early in the morning, sometimes
reaching his desk before 8 o'clock, Of
ten remaining until late in the evening,
his lunch often consisting of nothing
more than a sandwich sent in.
Governor Sulzer at first threw the
letters away, believing that some one
was sending them as a joke, but the
frequency with which they came later
caused him much anxiety. Detectives
were sent for, and tthe letters were
turned over to them, and though day
and night they have been working on
the case, the report they made to the
governor was that they had not been
able to find the senders. On many OF
the letters were found finger prints
which have been copied.
The governor just shrugs his shoul
ders and refuses to discuss the mis-
stve, declaring the case was in the
hands of the proper authorities and
that nothing could be said about it al
