Of China Stabbed In
Escape Of Prisoners

tack upon Wang Yuan-cheng, the SUI
perintendent OF the model prison in
Picking, has brought to the attention
Of the general public an institution
which is worthy of Imitation in many
countries supposed to be far super
Tor to China in the management of
penitentiaries.
Wang Yuan-chepg, the founder
and superintendent Of the prison, and
a number of guards were attacked
recently by group of twelve prison
ers, who were inspired to revolt after
the restoration of the monarchy He
was stabbed In the head and abdo-
men with bayonets and dangerously
but not fatally wounded. Ten con-
victs escaped.
Although Mr.. Wang Yuan-cheng
narrowly missed death through ad-
herring to humane methods, he still
believes in the system adopted In the
prison and will not alter it.
Six years ago Mr.. Wang was COM
missioned by Yuan Shih-kaf to open
a modern prison, and given only ST.
600 with which to carry out the work.
He managed the institution so skill
fully. and employed convict labor SO
profftably that the prison now has
$50, 1000 in the bank and has paid ali
its administrative expenses.
Six hundred men and one hundred
women are confined IN the prison
and Of this number only twelve parti-
cipated in the dash for liberty. Prac-
ticaliy all the others attempted te
prevent violence and to protect the
superintendent and guard.

worlds financial center. That honor
for over a year has devofyed upon

by Francis Child, London goldsmith,
who died Oct. a, 1713. This pioneer
financial institution was opened in
1853, and number of rival gold
smiths soon opened similar concerns.

THE QUEEN OF NAPLES.

There is living somewhere in Ba-
varia today a bent, gray-haired old
lady who was many years ago a
queen. Those bright days are still
vivid in her memory, although they
have passed into the beyond so long
ago that most men have forgotten
them. At the outbreak of the present
war this old lady was living in the
Partisan suburb of Neui1ly, in house
which she called the Palace of Naples.
in memory of the brief and stressful
period when she occupied the throne.
This old lady is ex-Queen Marie Of
Naples. the. widow of Francis II, the
last of the line Of monarchs who ruled
over the Two Sicilies. AS German
by birth, she was compelled to leave
France at the beginning Of 11ostilities
and go back to Bavaria, the land OF
her birth, to spend her last days.
Seventy-six years ago today. Oct. 4,
1841, Princess Marie was born at
Munich. the daughter Of Duke Maxi
milan of Bavaria. Her elder sister
became the bride Of Emperor Francis
Joseph Of Austria in 1854, and Ave
years later Marie was married to
Francis, Crown Prince of Naples.
Tragedy pursued both of these sisters,
for Elizabeth, after enduring many
marital miseries and the terrible grief
incident to the suicide Of her only SON,
was slain by an anarchist, while Marie
was destined to suffer the ignominy
Of being driven from the throne OF
her adopted country. Marie's mari
riage was by proxy, an efnissary of
the Neapo1itan court taking the place
Of the bridegroom at the ceremony in
Munich. The young bride then set out
for Naples and Joined her husband.
A few months later the young couple
assembled the throne, following the
death Of Ferdinand II. The kingdom
was invaded by Garibaldi and his In
surgents in 1850 and the royal family
fed, taking refuge in Gaeta. where
the army Of King Francis made its
last and unsuccessful stand. In those
days of trial Queen Marie played the
role of heroine. and excited the adj
miration OF the world by her bravery
and devotion. When at last Gaeta
was surrendered, King Francis and
Queen Marie found refuge In Rome
under the protection of the Pope, but
in 1870 they were again forced tc
flee, and went to Paris. Here the
royal couple lived in peace until the
death of Francis in 1894. After that
the former queen withdrew to the
quiet suburb OF Neuilly. whence she
was again forced to fee, at an old
age. when the world war broke out.
