MELIK'S WIFE
AGAIN AT LIBERTY.
Empress Taitou, according to
Frenchman who journeyed through
Abyssinia some years ago, was a wom
an of thd lower class, ns they place
rank in Abyssinia, and she was mar
ried at an early age. Following that
she was married many more times,
and at each stage of her matrimonial
career rose higher.
In 1885, when the coming empress
was nbout thirty-two years old, she'
married Menelilt, then a king. She was
a wonderful woman, and lier ability
was recognized. Besides, she was
counted as a beauty.
Later Menellk rose to the supreme
step of emperor, and Taitou rose, with .
him. .
Menellk fell ill at one time—In fact
one of the many times that lie has been
ill—and' while Taitou cared . for liiin
like n dutiful wife she carried on at (lie
same time a conspiracy, the aim of
which was to place her oil the throne
upon the death of her husband. But
many circumstances operated ngnitist
the en'ipres's, and she was driven from
the Abyssinian capital, Addis Abeba.

Taitou, the wife of King Menellk, has
been granted her freedom. The right
ful heir to the throne has also been
granted his freedom.
The empress’ domain will be in the
vicinity of Addis Abeba.

very interesting character, according

hated, was proclaimed heir.
