Around every woman who has wrought disaster and who ha claimed admiration, there are always two im pressions the one pathetic, tender-ad-niHn the other that would represent her as the most foolish of her race, th evil genius of her country out net mer n.nihiv ia true of any. from Mary. Queen of. Scots, to Eugenie, Empress of the French. Some years ago she spent a day with me In my home, and. as I looked upon those classic features and heard her gentle voice, and saw th sad expres sion In her soft. Spanish eyes, I realised that, although through the Influence of this woman, thousands were made to suffer, none had Buffered more than she. and that probably the ambition which had made her goad the emperor into that fatal war was the mistaken thought that she could Lutld back the shattered empire by mean which In the past had brought a transient glory to Franc. The empress lias passed Into' old ag and leads a quiet life In her country home, where, bealde the tomb of her husband and her son. she spends her days hi prayer and In waiting for those things which are better than the passing glory ef a court which tarried but for a day.

Barrett Was pota. No actor of modern times has earned for himself more universal respect than the late Wilson Barrett. He was the only man who had the courage at the end of th nineteenth century to writ and to place upon the stags a drama which combined theatri cal effect and strong religious feeling, and his intuitive sense did not gauge the public amiss, for it was immediately lrrestlbly won, and mm who occupied all sorts of position in the religious world wer wont to be found inside the theatre, from which hitherto they had always held aloof. v The ventur proved an overwhelming success both from th point of view of sn artistic triumph and as a monetary enterprise. Seven companl played "The Sign of the Cross" simultaneously all over the country, and seats were booked for months before hand. KAISER REVIVES THE HUNT WITH FALCONS (Copyright, Hearst Hews Service, by Leased Wire to The Journal.) Berlin, Aug. J7. The kaiser, who is in splendid health and who seems to be more active than ever, since returning from his yachting cruise to Norway, has s new passion. He has conceived the idea of reviving the old aristocratic sport of hunting game with falcons, snd If everything goes ss he hopes, the people of Berlin will soon have th pleasure of seeing their emperor fol lowing the birds of prey on the Tem pethofer field, formerly used only for parades and military maneuvers. Hi majesty even hopes to be able to try the sport before another week Is over, end the general commanding the guard Is even now experimenting with the bird. A tbere, of course, I no game of any kind to be found on the parade grounds, the hunters will have to supply and bring with them their own game. BERLIN CBHSUS DDJAPPOIHTS. (Copyright.

I B II i THE TONGA A R PENLOP OP BHUTAN AND HIS RETINUE) WHO, AS REPRESENTATIVES LAMA. MET THE BRITISH COLONEL TOUNGHU8BAND AT THE OATE8 OF LHASA. No living white man, unless Colonel Younghusband has found him. has ever sees the grsnd lama of Tibet, who has hut himself up, the telegram say, for three years. Dominating the mysterious city, ths forbidden land whose gates are- opening to the world, la the palace of the young priest-king. Set on a hill which cannot be hid, rising In the center nine stories high, the golden roofs of the Potala pal- ce would draw the first gaie of the first white man who carried the British flag to this Corner of the earth in which It had never before been unfurled. The dalal lama, in truth, is an auto crat hardly less absolute on his stage than the csar. He rules his kingdom In central Asia, eight times as big aa Great Britain, but with a population no larger than Lon don's, from one of the noblest palaces In the world. His capital stands higher than Mount Aetna above the level of the sea. and the approach to tne palace through an avenue of trees is s wonder ful sight from the town. The dalal lama, did he choose to shelter all the monks in Lhassa in his own house, could give each one a separate room, and there are thousands of monks In the city. The Potala palace Is greater than the palace of Westminster, and the pope of Tibet lives In a (raster house than the pope of Rome. He is "the living Buddha," the repre sentative on earth of the prophet whose followers are counted In hundreds of millions, "the reincarnation of all the grand lamas for S00 years." But the dark veil 1 being lifted, and for the flrst time for hundreds of years a grand lama has fled from sn Invading army that entered Lhassa. The world has heard little of him except that he love Russia, hates China, and has great contempt for Eng land. He has no suthorlty for sitting among the world's kings save that a Buddhist theory puts him there. Humbly born. 28 years old, with no great gifts of his own, Tubdan-gyamtso Is ruler of Tibet because a strange algn at his birth, real or amaglned. marked him out as the child in whom the soul of the previous ruler had been reborn. So, not long ago, the little son of a poor fuel settler came to the throne nf Tibet-, so. for centuries, have the destinies of the mountain kingdom fsllen Into the hand of a little cnua. Long ago, when Charle Stuart was being driven from his throne In Eng land, a dalal lama was raised to the throne of Tibet by a Mongol prince whom he had called In to conquer the land. The Chinese emperor let go hi hold on Lhasa and gave the ambitious priest the title which his successors have kept ever since, the title of dalal lams, "the great gem of majesty." WOMAN OF SEATTLE ROBBED OF DIAMONDS Sp-ell niapsteh to The Journal.) Seattle. Wash., Aug. 27. Diamond linger rings worth $1,000 were stolen from Verna Russell Friday night. The facts of the robbery were not known to the police until this afternoon, for the victim thought she would he sble to trace the thief and recover her Jewels.

Th new gas plant for Iwlston 1 to be Installed st once. The work of building the big gas tank will be the first taken up. af ter which the company will begin lay ing mains In the business and residence portions of the city. The enmpeny re cently purchased a piece of property on East Main $1,000. v: street ror which It paid Blinks Did you gu to church on Sun- dsyT Jinks No, but I spent Saturday night In a moral saloon When the grand lama died, hla soul, the Buddhist say, was born again In another child, and so. from age to age, the eternal life of the dalal lama goes on. Almost before his eye were opened, though his mother and father knew It not. the dalal lama was destined for the palace on the red hill. Some sign at his birth once It was the sound of music, st another time the dropping of milk upon the pillars of the house de termined the choice. But there were other tgns, and other children, and for a few years it was not known in Tibet whether Tubdan-gyamtso would be dalal lama or a common Tibetan's son. Then the names of the three children whose births had been sttended with mlraoulous signs . were plaoed In an urn, each Inscribed Upon a slip in Chi nese and Tibetan characters; and at a sol em it service in the presence of the people and all the lamas, the dalal lama was chosen by lot. placing it "beyond a doubt that the actual and genuine em bodiment of the dalai lama has appeared In the 'world, and the yellow church has a ruler for Its governance." . Henceforth the child's home Was at the palace, the palace Into which no wo man must go. His parents were given a residence for life about a mile away, the mother seeing her son In certain hours, ths father being raised to high rank. At 4 years old the dalal lama was enthroned; at 1 he. was ordained a monk and head of the church; at It he took Into his own hands the reins of government. For ten years Tubdan gyamtso has ruled In Lhasa, yet he Is still s youth of 2S. There are not many more pathetic sights on earth then the sight of a dalal lama seated on hla throne. For gener ations the grand lamas have been mere boys; many of them sre said to have died mysterious deaths. It is. at best, a aad enough life. Manning, the last Englishman to see a grand lama, how 00 years ago, could think of nothing else but the beautiful face of th doomed child. He could feel, he ssld, the tears In his eyes. Yet this child we ruler of Tibet, with a palace bigger than ths Vatican, and an environment as gorgeous as that of a king. There Is a man living in India who has seen the dslal lama, the flrst and last man to enter hi presence in disguise, and he brought away from the forbidden city the same sad picture aa the En glishman. He sat three rows from the throne at a reception by the dalal lama. In the grand hall In which the state offi cials "wslked from left to right with a gravity becoming their exalted rank In the presence of the supreme vice re gent of Buddha on earth." The dalal lafna was eight years old, seated on a BIG LOG DRIVE OF POTLATCH COMPANY MORE TBI AN 28,000,000 FEET OF TIMBER SCHEDULED FOR BBZT YEAR'S RUN PALOUSE LUMBER MARKET GENERALLY DULL THIS SEASON. (Special Dispatch to Th Journal ) Pnlouse, Wash. Aug. 27i The Pot latch Lumber company will bring down a drive nf from 26,000.000 to $0,000,000 feet of log next spring for ths year's run. This 1 at least double the slse of this season's drive and will keep the plant running at full capacity during the entire year, giving PalouSe a stsady pay roll. The company will have from 350 to 500 men cutting log by September 1. While there Is storage room In th pond at the mill for but a small portion dam will be built making It possible to get logs to the mill st any tlms during th summer or fall, when the water Is st Its lowest. The lumber market has been duller this season than for several years past, but the demand for the product of the plsnt at this plsce ha been beyond ex pectation. In the month of July the company shipped (4 carload Of lumber. The plant Is turning out an average of more than 110.000 feet every day and It Is almost impossible to keep up with the orders. Th demand for the products of the box factory and planing depart nirnt has been so f rest that for several OF THE DALAI great altar, pillared on lion of carved wood and covered with costly Jllk scarfs. He wore a yellow 'mitre over hi head, his body wa robed In a yel low mantle, and the child sat cross legged with the palms of his hands Joined In blessing. Sarat Chandra Dass. In the few mo ments he stood before the king child, was filled with sorrow for him. The child had "a really bright and fair com plexion, with rosy cheeks." - His eyes were large hnd penetrating. The thinness of his person was prob ably owing to the fatigue of the ceremo nies of the court, bf his religious duties, and of ascetic observances to which he hsd neehv subjected since taking the vows of monkhood. A steward poured tea Into the dalal lama's golden cup from a golden teapot, and before he lifted ths cup to his lip a grace was solemnly chanted. Then the steward placed a golden dish full of rice In front of the child, which he barely touched before the rice was dis tributed. After grace had been said, the holy child cheated a hymn. In a low, Indistinct voice, and then a veneraUlo man rose from the middle of the flrst row pf seats, and. addressing the grand lama as the lord avaloklta Incarnate, recited the many deeds of tncrcy which that patron saint of Tibet had vouch safed towards its benighted people. At the conclusion he thrice prostrated him self before his holiness, when a solemn pause followed; after which the audi ence rose, and the grand lama retired. Today the child pope has grown to a man, with, it Is to be feared, more of the artfulness of the world then the gentlehess of the saint. He has himself to blame moat for hi humiliation. The dalal lama. It Is said, has long been a puppet In the hands of a Russlsn spy, and he, his prime minister, snd the spy Dorjelff sr chiefly responsible for what has happened in Tibet to bring about this situation. The prime minister, the ahata shape. as he Is known In Tibet, has had an Ig nominious reward for his devotion. He lies, with sll the rest of ths grand lama's old cabinet. In a prison cell. He hsd been strenuous enough In his mas ter's service was he not ducked at the crossroads for his Insolence to an Eng lishwoman? snd his fate Is ominous of the character of the young man whose rule Is coming to an end. The moment his ministers failed him or op posed him. he dismissed them with dis grace. For nine months the cabinet has languished In Jail, while the dalal lam i and DorJIeff have ridden their high horse roughshod over liberty and courtesy, re turning the letters of the viceroy of In dia unopened and brooking no Interfer ence from without or wlyiln. , weeks It has been necessary for ths day shift to work part of the night. There 1 every Indication that the lum ber market will be better next season than thla and the Potlatch Lumber com pany Is msklng Its plans accordingly. Ths plant has been working up the logs at a rapid rat ever since the sen son's run waa commenced May 20. Out of the 15,000,000 feet of logs about 2,000,000 feet remain to be cut.

Never has it been so plain that the Frauco-Russo alliance Is more than mere diplomatic and that the love of Russls is deeply rooted, even In the hesrts of the Parisians as since ths news of the recent defeats of the Russian nsvv were received here, snd It Is not too much to say that the av erage Frenchman wishes nothing more than a ' clean breach of neutrality of China, urovhiK the existence of sn alli ance ox that country with Japanese, which would oblige France to come to the assistance of Us ally, Russls. The)- general opinion here Is that the Chinese government Is not seriously trying to counteract the growing clamor for an a, lance with Japan, but that It ts only trying to make it appear so snd thst there is already now a sscret un derstanding with the government of the mikado. The French, though they cannot help, but admire the pluck of the Japanese sailors and soldier still consider the. Japanese an inferior and far from civ ilized people. Report Japanese Cruelties. The many reports from most reliable source of the cruelty of the Japanese sgalnst their prisoners whenever they think they sre not observed, snd which only poorly agree with their conspicuous charity towsrd Russian ssllors when they sre within the limelight of the press, as during the recent battle in which the cruiser Rurlk was sunk, has poured oil into the flames, and there is now a violent hatred of the hypocriti cal Japanese throughout all classes of the French people.
