WIIMEN OF ASHANTI . SEND MARY A GIFT Silver Stool Has Been Presented to Royal Princess London, Nov. 29, — A sliver stoo has been presented to Princess Mary, Viscountess Lascelles, as the wedding gift of the Queen Mothers of Ashanti and the Gold Coast. The gift was presented by Lady Guggisberg, wife of the governor of the Golll Coast, it having been given her by Queen Mother Gewa Akoto, of Ashantl, The stool is an exact replica of the Queen Mother’s own stool. Accompanying the gift was a let- ter from Queen Akoto, describing how the stool was made and consecrated. The letter reads as follows: “I place this gift in your hands. It is a gift for|the king's child on hey wedding. “Ashanti stookmakers have carved it. All queen-mothers who dwell here have contributed toward it. “It may be that the king's child has heard of the Golden~ Stpol of Ashanti, That is the stool which contains the soul of the Ashanti na- tion. All we women of -Ashanti thank the governor exceedingly, be- cause he has declgged that the FEng- lish will never agalnh ask us to hand over that stool. This stool we give gladly. Tt does not contain cur soul, as the Golden Stool does, but it con- tains all the love of us queen mothers and of our women. “We in Ashanti have a law which declares that only the daugh- ters of.a queen can transmit royal blood, and that the children of a king: cannot be heirs of the stool. 'This law has given us women a power in this land, s0 that we have a say- ing which runs, ‘It is the woman who bears the men.’, ““We hear that your law is not so. Nevertheless, we have great joy in sending you our congratulations, ¥nd we pray the gerat God Nyankopen, on whom men leansand do 'not fall; whose day of worship is a Saturday, and whom the Ashentis serve just as you serve Him, that he may.give the king’s child and her husband long life and happiness.” BULLET THROUGH HER BODY.
