The career of China’s empress do wager reads like a romance. Today’s dispatches in The Press indicate that she is once more in supreme control at Pekin. She is the daughter of a Manchu noble, who, as we learn from The Independent, being on the yerge of starvation, sold his daughter to a rich mandarin. She was treated as half daughter and half slave, but was thoroughly educated, learned, to read and write before she was 8 years old .and, in doing the marketing for the family, developed considerable bus iness ability. In 1848 the emperor issued a marriage proclamation calling on all eligible Manchu maidens be tween the ages of 15 and 19 to present themselves at the palace and stand an examination for secondary wives. This was a sort of civil service test. The young girl immediately decided to enter the list. Her adopted parents laughed at her, but she was spirited and determined. They gave her a handsome outfit and enough money to travel from Canton to Pekin in a style becoming a Manchu princess. There the young girl, by her grace and at tainments, passed among the first ten in the imperial examination. She was taken to the palace and installed in the woman’s quarter. She commenced to plan and intrigue and, by her tact and intelligence, made friends with the em press. After a while she was thrown in the company of the emperor, won his admiration and affection, and finally presented him with a son. Her influ ence with emperor became so great that by proclamation he appointed her empress of the west. She became the real power behind the throne, though she was careful never to cross the real empress. In 1860 the emperor of China died and Tsi An’s 5-year-old son as cended the throne under the regency of the two empresses. The boy develped considerable intelligence, but died at the age of 19 and suspicion of foul play rested even upon his mother. Under the new emperor and since th® death of the sistei empress in 1881 Tsi An has been the mistress of China’s destiny, controlling the people and the councils. Even now the great powers are warned in case of the capture of Pekin not to kill the empress dowager because she is such a favorite with the people. The empress dowager with acumen has noted the growing power of foreign nations and has resisted it. She has been especially hostile to Eng land. The present insurrection is though to be fomented by the em press herself. The indications are, ac cording to The Literary Digest, that Tsi An is playing the last and most desperate card to secure a continua tion of her own rule. The empress dowager is opposed to reform and the anti-foreign party. This remarkable woman wag born in 1835. When she became empress of the west her body was graceful and, ac cording to a poetical writer, “her body was as attracive and supple as the neck of a swan under the water.” ‘ ‘She has a broad forehead; a nose co quettish, straight, and slender—singu larly sensitive to all impressions.” Her eyes are a brilliant black. She has not been without her love affairs and has never hesitated at violence to carry out her plan. Two years ago she forced her way into the emperor’s chamber, took with her various witnesses, and compelled the emperor to acknowledge that he was an accomplice in British plots. She heaped abuse upon him, boxed his ears, and forced him to sign a decree making her empress regent.— Savannah Press. Severe Damage at Youngstown. Youngstown, 0., July 12.—The se vere storm caused a sudden rise in Mill creek, destroying two ice houses of the Youngstown Ice company, swept away a bridge and washed out tracks to the steel plant and caused damage amount ing to $50,000. The storm was general, a number of towns along the Mahoning river being flooded. NEW YORK POLITICS. The Eastern papers are indulging in post-convention stories, and one which has appeared in several is that the specific mention of silver in the plat form assures New York State to the Republicans; that this is what Croker wanted, that there is an understanding between him and Platt,by whichCroker is to be left in undisturbed possession of the city of New York, and Platt of the State. This idea is furthered by a frank statement made by one of Platt’s henchmen to a reporter: With 16 to 1 in the Kansas City plat form, New York is sure Republican, and we won’t have to consult the mug wumps in making up our State ticket. We will put good men on the ticket, of course, but there will be no taint of mugwumpery about them. Every man will be a straight Republican, and we will have a straight Republican State Administration next year. This means that one of Platt’s “boys”will be nominated for Governor —no more of the Roosevelt semi-inde pent nonsens —with the hope that the looked-for McKinley majority will carry him or any other Republican in to office. The way for the Democrats to overcome this is to nominate a man for Governor who is not one of the Croker “boys” and give the respect able people of New York a man to vote for.—Nashville American. Hon. James D. Richardson, the per manent chairman of the Kansas City convention,explains why the sixteen to one plank was put in the democratic platform. As matter of fact, it would have been suicidal to have omitted the plank with Bryan at the head of the ticket. Mr. Bryan has advocated six teen to one so long and so vigorously that an omission of a free silver plank from the platform on which he was nominated would have been little short of actual cowardice. It belonged in the platform and we are very glad it was put there. HEAD CRUSHED WITH A CUE. Oscar Mann Killed By John Alexan der at Decatur. Decatur, Ala., July 12. —John Alex ander killed Oscar Mann with a billiard cue in G. F. Buchheit’s saloon. Mann had had a difficulty with a painter named Hightower. Hightower was a smaller man than Mann, and after the fight Alexander, in a joking way, as he says, remarked “I’d take some of that myself,” referring to the fact that Mann was a larger and heavier man than Hightower. Alexander then went into the saloon and began playing pool. Mann entered the saloon and words passed between the two men. Alexan der said Mann ought to fight a man his own size. Mann said: “Well, I’ll fight you, but not with my fists.” Alexander struck Mann and as the latter staggered back, brought the bil liard cue down with terrible force on top of Mann’s head. As man was sink ing to the floor, Alexander again struck him, crushing Mann’s skull. The surgeons removed pieces of bone equal to 4 square inches. MARKET STILL AN OPEN ONE Conditions In Iron and Steel Trades Are Most Unfavorable. New York, July 12. —The conditions of the iron and steel trade'is not viewed with favor, nor has it been improved by the recent conferences of officers of large pig iron and steel producing companies held in this city. Efforts were made to secure some kind of an agreement relative to prices on Bessemer pig iron and steel, but the conferences resulted in leaving the mar ket open. Severe reductions have since been made in prices and information re ceived from Pittsburg is to the effect that the Bessemer pig iron has been offered at sl6 and i teel billets at S2O without bringing out any considerable amount of business. The most important occurrence in the metal trade the past week was a reduc tion in the price of pig lead. The fluctu ations in this metal have recently been rapid, and have completely mystified the trade. . Chartered by the Government. San Francisco, July 12.—The new freight steamer California, with a ca pacity of 8,000 tons, has been chartered by the United States government to carry freight to Manila. The Strath gyle, a vessel of equal size, will also be loaded at once with stores for the Phil ippines. Aged Physician Suicides. New York, July 12. Dr. Charles Butt of 43 Bryan place, Chicago, died here from the effects of a dose of lauda num. He was about 80 years of age. Skin Diseases When the excretory organs fail to carry off the waste material from the system, there is an abnor* mal accumulation of effete matter which poisons and clogs the blood, and it becomes sour and acid. v<- - M This poison is carried through the general circulation to all parts of the body, and upon reaching j \\\\ the skin surface there is a redness and eruption, and by certain peculiarities we recognize Eczema, \\ ’ Tetter, Acne, Salt Rheum, Psoriasis, Erysipelas and many other skin troubles, more or less severe. yKY "ik'*A jN While the skin is the seat of irritation, the real disease is in the blood. Medicated lotions and \ powders may allay the itching and burning, but never cure, no matter how long and faithfully ’ continued, aud the condition is often aggravated aud skin permanently injured by their use. The disease is more limn shin deep; the entire elrenisEian is poisoned. The many preparations of arsenic, mercury, potash, etc., not only do not cure skin diseases, but soon ruin the digestion and break down the constitution. S. S. S., nature’s own remedy, made of roots, herbs and barks, of great purifying and tonical properties, quickly and effectually cures blood and skin troubles, because it goes direct to the root of the disease and stimulates and restores normal, healthy action to the different organs, cleanses and enriches the blood, and thus relieves the system of all poisonous secretions. S. S. fc>. cures permanently because it leaves none of the original poison to referment in the blood and cause a fresh attack. Healthy blood is necessary to preserve that clear, smooth skin and beautiful com m plexion so much desired by all. S. S. S. can be relied upon with certainty to keep t^ie t>loo<l in perfect order. It has been curing blood and skin diseases for half a cen tury ; no other medicine can show such a record. ’X S- S. contains no poisonous minerals —is purely vegetable and harmless. - O ur medical department is in charge of physicians of large experience in treating blood and skin diseases, who will take pleasure in aiding by their advice and direction all ? who desire it.
