CHINA'S WONDERFUL
WOMAN, THE EMPRESS
i -
Lady Henry Somerset Relates Something of "She Who
Must Be Obeyed" Who Is Now Com
mon Clay..
By Lady Henry Somerset
London. Dec. 12. Last week I was
IJfX looking; out of the window of my rooms
in Avunuon, wntsn x suuuemy udiiuoq a
flag flying half-mast high. For a mo
ment that symbol of death struck me
as strange,. and then I looked again ana
saw the yellow flag- with the black
dragon, and remembered - that that
amazing- woman, the dowager empress
of China, lay dead in the forbidden city,
and that here at the Chinese legation
the history of China was transplanted
into me very miast or utmaon.
There Is probably no figure of this
age who has a moreadramatle story, for
she was undoubtedly the most remark
able woman of our day. The Theodora
and the L-ueretia Borgia of the east, she
combined in her person the worst fem
inine qualities and the most masculine
political lnsignt ana energy.
JTever elina.ulshe4 power.
For 47 years she ruled over the mil
lions Of the Chinese empire, ' and al
though since 1889 the emperor was
nominally the chief, sh neverf relin
quished her power until she drew her
last breath.
No more pathetic scene, however,
rould be Imagined than the deathbed of
i this relentless old woman, dressed in
her robes of state, with none to ap
; proach her, for the Chinese emperor and
5 empress die alone. She had been borne
: into the death chamber in order to die
i according to the rites of the Imperial
' house, observed for the last 8000 years,
i I remember some time agdf one of our
j - English admirals telling me of an audi
ence that he had with the dowager em
press. He was allowed only to approach
within 60 yards, and then as he fell
on bended knees he saw before him,
dressed In magnificent Chinese embroid
ered robes, the tall and rather slender
figure. In a rigid attitude, covered with
jewels and looking like an IdoL Her
hair was black as ink, parted In the
middle. All might have belonged to a
painted stone carving, save the eyes,
which glittered like those of a cebra.
"She looked at me as though ahe saw,
me and yet she saw not. I was as
nnthlnar before her," he told me, while!
riolltlcally she had the deepest interest
n his visit. .
Two years ago the empress matured
her plans for the higher education of
women, and sent to England to beg
those interested In this subject to go
i out to China to organize schools for the
higher class Chinese girls. Lord and
Lady William Cecil were chosen, and
I was ameng the committee who asked
to go. Perhaps it was one of the great
est disappointments I have had that I
at that mnmMit ' he of th
party, owing to the fact that for fam-!
' uy reasons x was uuitw w muuu u
England.
- Btorjr ol Tsu TsL
A resident of Peking has given us
lately an interesting description of the
time at which he saw Tau Tsi at the
moment of her great humiliation. It
was the time when the court were to
return to the forbidden city, when they
had fled before the allied troops, and
when she and the emperor-bad -suffered
almost a year's exile.. The great com
pany , awaited the return of the fugi
tives, the Chinese nobles on their Mon
golian; ponies, gorgeous In the robes of
state, 'the ladles of the harem carefully
guarded In their green carts, and the
whole strange crowd of the Chinese
court, and then at the end of the pro
cession the two yellow chairs ? covered
with the peacock's feathers, containing,
as the writer says, "the Son of Heaven
v' and hie aunt" " ' -'i '-.
Before the little temple the chairs
were stopped, in order that the dowager
; empress should offer thanks for" her
earn return. 4 -rj .
The Boxers had 'burnt' the- templa
tower, and a sham tower had been hastt
11 y erected in bamboo and matting, but
that which met'her eye was the most
oocnstoined eight tf all, namely en
existence. His friends, if they beam
too Intimate were removed and heard
no more.
The elaborate ceremonial and tradi
tional ritual of the sovereign's life uran-
tically claimed all his time. Rising
at 2, at 8 he received ministers, man
darins and other officials. As high
priest or the Chinese he had to perform
religious duties, to make offerings, to
pour. iiDatlons and to go through end
less rites of sacrifice. Ancient rites
had to be observed - honor of agrlcul
ture, which caused the emperor himself
to plow a. sacred field, assisted by. the
oldest peasants In the whole empire,
and many other rites of a like nature
claimed his time. But the man was
crushed and thwarted, and his life was
one of abject misery. His health was
impaired, and at 63 he looked like an
emaciated man or
In November, i06, the wretched em
peror attempted suicide by endeavoring

forbidden under extreme penalty. The
dowager empress turned her face to
wards them for a moment. This proud
woman drank the cup of her humilia
tion to the dregs, and then with that
curious presence of mind which never
deserted her, she turned to them and
said: "I am glad to see you all." The
secretary of the Dutch legation, who
spoke Chinese answered: nT,hank you,

Buffering of Beige.
Another curious scene of which
heard was one in which the dowager
empress entertained the ladles of the
diplomatic corps. They sat round her,
nibbling Chinese sweetmeats and drink
ing syrup and tea, while the woman who
never hesitated to command the death
of an von who stood in the wav of her
ambition, who, even when fleeing from
her palace, round time to have the
emperor's favorite wife whom she dis
liked flung down a well, nassed from
guest to guest, stroking their arms or

sh spoke of the suffering of the siege.
At the end of the visit there was a dis
tribution of splendid jewelry, and the
ladles In a flutter of excitement left,
laden with big rubles, emeralds and
sapphires, but their pride was destined
to have a fall, as the Tientsin Jeweler
nronounced them to be colored glass
set in thinly plated gold.
This was another example of the way
In which the dowager empress, in. spite
or her shrewdness, was cheated by her
officials, who had been ordered to pro
cure the most costly articles, but who
had pocketed the money destine for the
S resents which were to be bestowd on
i guests.
Of the aorrowful emperor's death It
Is needless to speak, for that has passed
Into history.

the following committee, appointed to

Hayes declared today that he waa un

In a similar poHitlon.
It seems likely now that the commit

changes In the rules which are satis

Scientific
Specialist's
Treatment
For.......
Men Only
Thorough preparation is the first essential for thorough work in medical
practice. Upon this point my great success of effecting permanent cures
where others have failed speaks sufficiently. I have gained practical ex
perience by several years In the practitioners' field and by 25 years as a
specialist In men's diseases. All these years have been years of observa
tion, study and research. I have had every opportunity to acquire a thor
ough knowledge of men' aliments. I have cast theories aside and have
stepped out upon the truths that I have for myself ascertained. I have
replaced Inaccurate and Inadequate treatment with methods and remedies
of my own devising that are accurate, scientific and thorough. I have
developed a system of practice as broad and comprehensive as the entire
range or men s aumenis.
"Weakness"
My sucoess In permanently curing
that condition commonly known as
"weakness" fully demonstrates the
absolute correctness of my method
of treatment, which Is a method em
ployed by mysejf alone. I do not
stimulate the functions to tempor
ary activity by the use of strong in
ternal tonics. This Is the course
commonly pursued by both general
practitioners and specialists, and Is
a treatment that cannot possibly re
sult In a permanent cure. "Weak
ness" is merely a symptom of
chronic inflammation In the. pros
tate gland, brought on by excesses,
early dissipation, or by the Improp
er treatment of some disease. A
complete and radical cure Is, there
fore, a question of restoring the
prostate gland to its normal state,
and this I accomplish promptly and
completely without the use of in
ternal remedies. My treatment is
a local one entirely. It la original
and scientific, and has been proved
absolutely effective by thousands of
tests. I am convinced that by no
other methods can full and perma
nent restoration of strength and
vigor be accomplished.
Stricture
My treatment removes the neces
sity of surgical operations, even in
severe cases of long standing. No
other physician employs my methods
of overcoming this disorder, so the
service I offer you is original and
distinctive. Do not give up hope be
cause others have failed. 1 will cure
you and the cure will be a prompt
and painless one. My treatment per
manently removes all inflammation,
relieves all irritation or congestion
that may exist In the kidneys or
bladder, reduces enlargement of the
prostate gland and restores health
and tone to all organs affected by
the disease.
Blood Poison
This most troublesome of all dis
eases can no longer be classed as In
curable. The Idea that the limit of
medical aid Is to keep the disease
dormant by persistently dosing the
system with poison is as Incorrect
as many other ancient theories to
which many of the profession cling.
6uch treatment not infrequently re
sults In the virus being driven deep
er into the system, where it attacks
and destroys even the very bones of
the sufferer. I positively drive the
very last taint of poison from-.jthe
system. The cure Is thorough and
permanent, and every symptom of
the disease vanishes forever. I em
ploy no dangerous drugs or mineral
poisons, but use harmless blood
cleansing remedies heretofore un
known in the treatment of this dis
ease. I regard ray success aa the
growing triumph of my professional
career.
Contracted Diseases
To but partially cure a disease Is
almost as dangerous as to allow it
to go untreated. Unless every par
ticle of Infection and Inflammation
Is removed, the probability exists
that the disease will gradually work
its way into the general system.
Still greater Is the danger of the
firostate gland becoming chronically
nflamed. which always bring par
tial or complete loss of power. Per
haps IS per cent of the cases of so
called "weakness are a direct, re
sult of some Improper treated dis
ease. During the past five years I
have treated over 8500 cases of
these disorders and have effected an
absolutely thorough and safe cure in
each instance. There have been no
relapses or undesirable develop
ments whatever and my patients
have been cured In less time than
other and leas thorough forma of
treatment require In producing even
doubtful results.
You Can Pay When Cured Consult Me Free
If you are afflicted in any way It certainly -will be tosyour best interests
to come In-and have a friendly talk with me. It : will i ave you a great deal
of worry and anxiety. It will not cost you ONE CENT, and you will not
bind yourself In any way to take treatment from me. I will tell yoa frankly
what your condition is, and then you can decide for yourself as to whether
I shall treat you or not If you cannot call, write. Correspondence invar
iably has my personal attention and la regarded as strictly confidential. All

Varicocele
Many men afflicted with varico
cele are endangering their general
health, their manly power, and even
life Itself by allowing the disorder
to remain uncured. Varicocele re
sults from partial paralysis of the
delicate nerve fibres that have a
part In controlling local circulation
of the blood. The muscular coating
of the veins? being deprived of ner
vous communication and control, be
comes Inactive, weakens and relaxes.
The blood vessels expand from the
?ressure within, the circulation from
he parts becomes sluggish, and fre
quently stagnant pools form' in
little nooks and pockets that con
stantly enlarge as the relaxation
continues. The possibility exists
that 'clots may form in these stag
nant pools and then pass out into
the general circulation. Should one
find lodgment in a valve of - the
heart the result might be instant
death, or ahould It be carried to the
brain, general paralysis would fol
low. I guarantee to cure varicocele in
one week by a method that Involves
no cutting, no ligature, no caustio.
No other physician ewploys a like
method, and so thorough la my work
that there need not be the slightest
fear of a relapse into the old condi
tion. Those who have been long af
flicted with varicocele will never
realise the injury It has caused until
they feel the vim. energy and buoy-i
ancy of spirit that a complete cure
Will bring.
