Mysterious Woman
With A Band Box

A mysterious woman with band
box arrived yesterday and is stopping
at the Lee-Grant hotel. She is crea-
ting quite a sensation on account of
the contents of her box.
Yesterday morning when the train
pulled in from Atlanta, most charm
ing little French widow stepped off
the train carrying mysterious band
box. The madam is enroute to Palm
Beach and has been called to Fitz-
gerald by a certain secret organiza-
ton, the name of which she refuses
to disclose, but will be announced la
ter Her dashing appearance at the
station caused such a sensation among
the men that one Of our prominent old
bachelors Immediately called a meet
ing of his pals at the drug store to
inform them not even to take second
look at her. However a local news
paper reporter called at the hotel for
an interview and found that the mad
ans box not only contained paint,
powder and other things, but also a
basket OF bugs. The bugs are of a
dangerous variety all kinds and colors
and about the size of a bol1-weevil.
But if bitten by any variety the vic
tim Immediately succumbs. So. bach
clors, beware! Your freedom is just
about at an end, for these bugs have
been known to throw hard-hearted
bachelors into a fever and after the
fever has cooled the bachelor would
propose to the first pretty browneyed
girl he met.
The spinsters of the town are so
elated over the madam's visit that
they have rented the Grand Theatre
for Friday, December 9th, at which
time the madam will give public
demonstration of what these bugs can
do. All manageable men of any age
are urged to be present and watch the
exhibition.

Powers Agree to Free

Resolutions Looking to the Abandon
ment of Extraordinarily Also
Are Adopted

WASHINGTON. Nov. 29-With-
drawal of the foreign troops in China
was agreed upon in principle by the
committee on afr Eastern policies of
the armament conference Tuesday.
Although it was generally agreed by
all of the delegates that the foreign
troops should be withdrawn from Chi
ma, no date was set for such action
nor was a definite agreement drawn
At the next meeting of the commit
tee it is understood that Japan will set
forth her reasons for keeping troops
in China and will announce her plans
for the future withdrawal of these
troops.
Resolutions looking to the eventual
abandonment of extra territoriality in
China also were adopted Tuesday.
The resolution, it is understood. pro-
vides for the appointment of a com
mission to study the question of extra
territoriality in China with view to
gradual abolition of this practice
The United States takes the view
foreign troops in China have ceased
to perform a useful function, merely
serve to hamper the Chinese govern
ment in the exercise of its own opw-
ers, and therefore should be with
drawn at an early date, it was learned
on high authority Tuesday
Withdrawal of foreign guards in
China. officials believe, would not
only bring about considerable
financial saving to all of the nations
concerned but would obviate the
necessity of maintaining the young
men forming these detachments in
an environment which is harmful to
the maintenance of their morale both
as military units and as citizens.
From the point of view of China
such action would probably hasten
the development by the Chinese gov
renment of adequate means of protect
ing the lives and property of foreign
ers and would constitute. officials be-
lieve an important step in the general
direction of China's restoration to the
independent status which marked her
existence before the cession of certain
sovereign rights to the various treaty
powers
Foreign troops are used in China for
the following purposes:
l. Protection of foreign life and
property in the open ports.
g.. Protection of the diplomatic
body in Pekin.
3. Maintenance of communication
between Pekin and the sea.
q. Protection of the foreign rail-
ways in general in China.
The function of the foreign guards
of the size at present maintained in
China is principally to prevent mob
