Bowen anfl Myer's Hale, Among the Kew Orleans
ratrons of the Kins and Other Matters.
In the baseball world the most important
event of the week has been the decision of
Judge Maxwell in the Rcilly case. Pitts
burg, of course, has been particularly inter
ested in the matter, which made it of more
importance here probably than anywhere
elc, but the case is certainly one of a na
tional character and proes quite a number
of things. Ihaeoftcn thought that base
ball is a er strange business, for business
it is, and the strangest part of it lias ever
been tho signing of contracts by those inter
ested in it. "When it conies down to sign
ing a contract to perform a certain amount
of work for a certain amount of pay it is
purely a business transaction between the
wage w orker and the wage paver. This fea
ture has almost at all times led a very great
number of people to believe that the ball
player would always get the worst in the
contract signing, but here we Inn e another
proof of the fact that in almost every in
stance the law is on the side of the player.
I am - ery glad that the Cincinnati court
decided as it did; not becau'se the de
cision allowed Reilly to remain
here, but because I am fully
persuaded that the Association magnates, as
ve term them, tried the boldest 'piece of de
ceiving that has taken place for a long time
in any business. There is no doubt at all in
my mind as to what the intentions of the
Association magnates were from the first
They tried, and icry cunningly at that, to
hoodwink e cry player they could lay hands
on jnto becoming a'member of their forces,
which they knew would soon .become a kind
of rebel force. In other words, while they
were conspiring to become baseball out
laws they w ere in a very questionable and
in a very clandestine way decoving ball
players into their ranks. Bill thev over
stepped themseh es. as the decision in the
Reilly case fully proves. And this case, at
any rate, shows" that the chil law will pro
tect a ball player against the cry unfair
machination of any organization of schem
ers. MarkjT! don't mean to say that all
gentlemen interested in baseball affairs are
schemers; but I do say that all the Associa
tion magnates Mere schemers when they
signed players with the full knowledge that
they were about to deprive these players of
the benefits of the national agreement.
Good Effects or tho Case
The wav in which the r.eilly case was set
tled as pronounced upon was of great im
portance to mc because from the day that
tho Association turned its back on the na
tional agreement I urged that every player
in it who had been signed under the old
form of contract was at liberty to go where
lie pleased. I argued this question fully at
the time, and Presiden Kramer tried to
show how the contracts of the players were
just as binding as c cr. But common sense
pointed otherwise, and had the contracts
been binding it would simply have meant
that ball players were completely at the
mercy of those people whom we call mag
nates! Tl'e condition of affairs was simply
this: A number of the most pronounced,
disrupters that have ever disgraced baseball
resoh ed that the would break away from
all the rules and obligations that havebound
baseball into something like a national
body. "When this jeohe was made thev
kept it quiet and set out to sign c ery good
player they could lay lianas on. "These
plaj ers signed contracts in the belief that
they were as usual to have the benefits and
protection of the national agreement. But
as ooii as the step of reolt was taken
the plavers, that is the intelligent part of
them, discovered that they had been misera
bly deceived. They found out that not only
were they to be deprived of the benefits o"f
the national agreement, but they were to be
parties in another baseball conflict, and a
conflict that they did not want. "When this
stcj) was taken by the Association, I at
once urged thai they had no claim on any
player whom thev had signed under ordinary
circumstances. I maintained that neither
morally or lesjllv could anv plaver be held
by the Association after its departure from
national agreement regulations. 1 was so
much impressed with the truth and fairness
of this, that I helped to convince some
players that it was to their advantage to
wash their hands entirely of such scheming
people as those who were hastening
the Association to its death. Well,
as a result, it has been
shown that baseball magnates cannot have a
one-sided contract with ball players; they
cannot have a contract which is to be em
phatically binding on the player w hile they
can change it or ignore part of it at wilt
This is a great benefit to the players, and
every ball plaver in the Association will do
well" to consider the matter. The de
cision also tends, or ought to tend toward
closing the mouths of those who have been
abusing Reilly, Baldwin and others as al
leged contract jumpers. In all respects
these pla.. ers acted within their own right,
end the law has indicated them in rebelling
against tl.e doubledealing and unfair
methods of the Association moguls. I trust
that the case and its results will be instru
mental in teaching that hoodwinking in
baseball affairs is just as illegal and dis
honest in the eyes of the law as dishonest
dealings in any other branch of business.
Cases of this kind will ultimately point out
the great necessity of people interested in
baseball having contracts that the law will
recognize. Sooner such contracts were in
use the better for all parties.
Tho Local Team.
2s"one of us can find much fault with the
local team now Surclv thev haebcen
doing well and the complaints that manv
eople had to make a week or so aeo cannot
e listened to as complaints now. More
than once I ha- Cjjiointed out the wisdom of
withholding, our grumblings until we could
pkrnly see that our team was a failure.
But we luu e seen that our team is not a
failure by any means and we have good
reason to believe that our players will
eventually do just as well as the players of
any other team. During the last few days
the local jilaj ers have done ery well and
still it is reasonable to say they will do
much belter just as soon "as they get thor
oughly settled down, Miller has demon
strated the fact that lie can play short in
very brilliant styl- and he has also shown
that he can make some very awful mistakes.
But it is only fair to expect that as the
Beason goes on he will become less addicted
to error-making. It he does not w e may
conclude that practice does not always tend
to perfection. Miller is new to his position
and surely as he becomes more accustomed
to it he will improve in his playing of it.
This would, or ought to, prompt us to have
a mut paueuce ana.iortncprcscniJOOK.wiin
a spirit of generosity on any mistakes that
may be made either by Miller or anybody
else.
Changes In the Team.
The public has little idea of the scores of
suggestions the management of a ball team
receives every day. The sun never sets
without somebody by letter remarking to
President O'Ncil: "1 now take np my pen
to tell you what yoa should do," &c. It is
a very fortunate afiair that all of these ad
monitions, and to the writers, valuable
suggestions are not always acted upon. If
they were, depend upon it we would not
have the same team on the field, twice a
week. I don't think there is anybody more
eager than I am to see the Pittsburg ball
team come out victorious, but 1 am not
going to allow my eagerness in that respect to
prompt me to assume the management of the
team. I take it for granted that both Mr.
O'Neil and Mr. Hanlori have onie practical
ideas about running the team, and I am
quite content to allow them to run matters.
Certainly we can all ofter suggestions, but
if these suggestions arc "not acted upon w e
should not throw our heels in the air. Of
course, we cannot expect that the directors
of the club will be content to carry ail the
players they have at present, and some of
them will have to go: JJut we are so
fortunate in having good players that the
difficulty is to find out who is the best
among those who are spoken of as the ones
to be released. "We all know about the
Staley matter. That is very unfortunate,
because Staley has always appeared to me
to be one of the best pitchers in the coun
try, and Manager Hanlon to-day looks upon
hint as one of the best men that can be
had. But as far as I can understand
matters it is because of Stalcy's social con
duct that he has to go. There may and
there may not be truth in these reports
regarding" what Staley does and docs not
during liis leisure time, but I would
certainly be very glad if matters could be so
arranged as to permit Staley to remain with
us. On the other hand, the management
must miss no opportunity whatever to en
force discipline. An enormous amount of
money is being ventured on this ball team,
and any player who will not fully respect
that Acnture and therefore do his cry best
in all respects to make the venture "a suc
cessful one, ought to be made an exainble of.
I don't think that any true friend of the
game will object to this, because without
discipline the public cannot expect to
see a winning team and the club
stockholders cannot expect to get
their money back. Judging from present
appearances it would seem that we could
easily dispense with Staley and probably
one or two more players. But let me just
point out that it is always i great advantage
to have more players than you need. The
pennant is not won by depleted ranks. "Ve
can see the evils of being "short handed" in
the defeat suffered by New York. If the
finances can possibly stand it I hope the
club will retain all of its men at present
signed.
The General Situation.
Certainly there have been some surprises
in the League race already. A week or so
ago nobody would have thought that the
Is ew Yorks would have been so far down
and that the Philadelphia team would have
bcome so prominent. And let me
add that the tenacity with which the
Chicago team is sticking to first place is a
surprise to me. Nobody deserves success
better than Anson, but tor the life of me I
cannot bring myself to believe that his team
will be in the first three at the finish. We
cannot draw anything like a correct con
clusion from the week's, play, because of the
poor condition of one or two clubs. Hone
of us will for a moment think that Chicago
is so superior to the Brooklyn team as to
defeat the latter four times in succession on
their merits. "We cannot believe that; in
deed. I have yet to be convinced that the
Chicagos are better than the Brooklyns at
all and even nt this stage it might not be
wide of theTnark to say that Anson's team
will not beat both Boston and Brooklyn out.
The New York team continues to play
under very unfortunate circumstances. My
estimate o'f that team has not.at all changed
and I am still of opinion that the two best
teams I have so far seen in the League are
the New Yorks and the Pittsburgs. Depend
upon it that the New York team will make
itself known before long, and I would not
be surprised if they get down to work at
Chicago this week in a wav that will sur
prise the talent. Philadelphia cannot con
tinue to take a prominent part in the
.struggle if the club does not secure more
pitchers Judging from the work of the
Philadelphia team here I don't hesitate to
say that at present Manager "Wright has the
weakest team on hand that he has had for
manv years, it certainly can be made
much stronger. There is not much to say
about Cincinnati and Cleveland. The
former team is getting into condition and
ought to be able to beat the Clevelanders
out in the race. i
Jackson and Corbett.
"Well, we have had something like an im
portant week as far as pugilism has been
concerned. Two of the latter day fights in
one week is something to talk about, and
doubtless there will be lots of talk about
them for a long time to come. One hardly
knows how to commence with that afiair be
tween Jackson and Corbett, because to be
frank on the matter, an "inside history"
might at any moment be sprung upon us.
The outsidehistory, that is, the contest as
far as we can judge from a public stand
point, was one of the most questionable that
has been known in the history of pugilism.
Of course, all mv readers must know that I
have steadily held the opinion that Jackson
would defeat Corbett. According to the
result of Fr5dav morning he did not finish a
-winner, but he did not finish a loser and
therefore any advice of mino on the subject
cannot have resulted in a loss of money.
Had Jackson been defeated I would not
havp been surprised at all; he was
fighting a comparatively unknown and
clever and " powerful young fel
low. "Had Carbett been beaten
I would still have been less surprised; but I
certainly was surprised, indeed, to learn
that the two men fought 61 rounds under
Queensberry rules without any result. Great
Scott! Just think of it. They fought, or
they were in the ring, 61 rounds; that is
more than four hours, and according to re
ports they were only leg wearing. "Was
there e cr such a farce? Not even barring
the two affairs between Coburn and Mace.
"Will anybody tell 'me that these two men
fought or tried to fight, or tried to knock
each other out on Thursday night and Fri
day morning? If anybody says they did,
let me have an explanation of their being in
the ring 61 three-minute rounds. And the
affair was under Queensberry rules, too, and
under a club rule which prohibits anv
"draw" contest. There is a record
of a battle between John Gully
and Bob Greyson," in which both men fell
exhausted when they tried to meet each
other .after fighting nearly two hours.
Neither man could stand, and a legitimate
draw was declared because they fought to
punish each other and only for about S2.r0.
But here is an affair of two powerful and
active men waltzing round each other for
four hours, and until the promoters of the
contest becuner weary of it. To what con
clusion can we come regarding this wonder
ful affair? I have my opinion about it, and
it is to the effect that it was nothing but a
scheme. To me it was just as plainly, a
scheme as was the afiair between McAuliffe
and Myer. But I do not at all mean to say
that the California club officials were a party
to any scheme; what I mean is that there
was a scheme to get the 510,000 from the
club.
Features of the Event.
If we commence' to talk about the alleged
contest on its merits, that is, as it actually
took place, we will have a very unsatis
factory subject to deal with. I have read
carefully "the reports of the affair, and I
ha e still the same opinion of Corbett that I
have had and probably a little less of Jack
son as a man. In no manner or form" did
Corbett prove that he is a fighter, and if he
is one he has it yet to show. He gave fine
exhibitions of the professor-stvle of boxing;
but bless us if he had been half the man his
friends claimed he was he "would have set
tled the black man long before four hour?
viaustu. ij we ia a uguier, ana it Jaclcson
had been in' earnest, would his rushes not
have resulted disastrous either to himself
orJacuson' Uertainly they would. A man
cannot "keep up the rushing tactics for sev
eral rounds without considerable damage
being done. I don't charge Corbett with
dishonesty; not at all, but I do say
that he has proven, to us that he
is not acufighter-r - And- it is a
question to me whether or not he has the
pluck." A bona fide fighter with the
strength of Corbett does not waltz round
and round his opponent; he'fights him," -and
goesintojglve and take, rather than make
a farce of It "Why. Sullivan wnnld nimnlv
have rushed all the prancing notions out of A
,THB
Corbett in less than six rounds. At best,
that is giving Corbett credit for everything
he did, he was afraid, of Jackson. How do
I know? "Why, because he would not go
near enough to hit Jackson, nor near enough
for the Australian to hit him, except when
delivering the professor-like taps. As far
as Corbett is concerned, there was little
credit for him in the contest except in the
way of being a very good boxer, because of
his long reach. I have not much to say
about Jackson. I am inclined to think that
he could have won if circumstances had been
suitable for that result. If, on the other
hand, the contest was absolutely an honest
one, then the two principals are rank cow
- ards, and proved it by their refusing to get
close enough to each other to fight.
Tho Big Purse System. '
I really believe that this miserable affair
of Thursday night was the result of this
?10,000 purse system. Two men who own
nothincof this world's wealth can do many
things for 5,000 each, and when a purse o'f
the kind in question is being fought for, I
am always prepared for anything. Why
should the Australian black and Corbett
not arrange to each take $5,000 if they
could get it? "Why should Jackson not
agree to accept half of the purse and a little
from the "outside" not to defeat Corbett?
These are pertinent questions in the pugi
listic world to-day. The big purse, com
bined with Queensberry rules, are simply
all the incentive to fraud that anybody re
quires. But why when such a big p'urse
was offered, did "not the referee insist that
the men fight and not merely walk around
the ring. Certainly I do not complain
about the referee deciding the afiair "no
contest," but it might have been well bad
they been warned after the first 20 rounds
were fought. From first to last the affair
was nothing more than a farce as far as fight
ing was concerned. It was a "show" exhi
bition and it ought to tend to kill all these'
big battles for big purses.
Bowers and Myer. .
Space is not plentiful this week, but I
want to say a word or two about another
miserable affair. I refer to the Bowen and
Myer contest at New Orleans. Of all the
decisions recorded in the history of the
prize ring the decision of the referee in the
battle in question is the most remarkable.
"When a fight can be stopped on a foul and
the purse divided it is time to call a halt.
Last week I think I remarked that I had
nothing to say about the Bowcn-Myfcr fight.
To me it was then very suspicious, and Lam
still of opinion that I had a right to be sus
picious. I don't intend to waste space in
talking about the merits or demerits of such
affairs, and all that I have to say is that it
would be well if these alleged fights were
stopped by law just as prize fights are.

LOVE-MAKING IK MEXICO.
American "Women Popular Because They
Are Approachable.
Chicago Herald.
Baron Straus said the American women
were so popular in Mexico that it inter
fered with the wheels of justice in that Re
public. "The American women," he said,
"go about Mexico as they would in this
country, while the Mexican women are
caged up like birds. The only way to make
love to them is to stand off some 100 yards
and stare.
"The pretty senorita sits in her open win
dow and you "can only look at her. There is
one chance in a hundred of getting an op
portunity to speak to one while she is in
church, but that is the only place. Last
summer a New York merchant and his
beautiful daughter stopped for a few days
in the little town where I was sojourning.
The young lady wa one of the handsomest
that I have ever seen light hair, eyes like
bits of heaven's bine, classic form and all
that was lovely. "Well, yon can imagine
what a stir she created among the young
Mexicans, who are held so far away from
tne native women.
"The son of a wealthy planter used to
sland for hours opposite the window of this
American girl. One day the father went to
the'City ot Mexico, leaving the daughter
unattended for a few houra. The young
lady walked to the hotel from the station
and was followed by the Mexican admirer.
As she was nearly home the young fellow
rushed up to her, and implanting a kiss
upon her forehead ran away for dear life,
""When the father came home there was a
little excitement. He had the young fellow
arrested and the next day he was brought
before the Judge, who gravely asked what
the charge was. e
'"Assaulting a woman, ' spoke up the
New Yorker.
" '"What did the prisoner do?'
" 'He ran up to my daughter on the street
and kissed her.'
"'.He Kissed this lovely young lady?'
asked the Judge, as he left his bench and
carefully scrutinized the fair American.
" 'Yes, sir.'
"'Well, who wouldn't?' remarked the
Judge, as he left the court room. And
would you believe that was all the satisfac
tion the New Yorker could get in Mexico."

A more fantastic scene than that which was

well be imagined, says the Tall JTall Budget.
It was the ideal illustration of a "witches'

fantastic Wreaths of smoke, tons
of molten .metal, like so much liquid

the fumes and flames. In front of the
"burning fiery furnace" the mold which
was.about to receive the metal" yawned like
an open grave, round which a large num

like the mourners at the ceremony. And
what a statue it isl. Not that of an ideal

CCOBKESFOKSEXCX OV TITE DISPATCH.
Santiago de Chile, April 23. One can
hardly imagine apleasanter journey than
that between "Valparaiso and this city. The
distance is 115 miles, and the time required
by rail is five hours. The road, which is
one of the oldest in South America, is
owned and controlled by the Government.
Its queerly-shaped locomotives and small,
four-wheeled carriages show plainly that it
was built by English contractors, and its
equipment and management are entirely on
the European plan.
The "common" coaches, which for many
years were the only ones in use, arc as odd
inside as their exterior would indicate, each
having two long seats running lengthwise
from end to end, so that the traveler sits
with his back to the window.and his feet in
the central aisle, gazing discontentedly at
his companions in misery instead of at the
flying landscape. The benches are as un
comfortable as pews in a country church,
being upholstered in black leather, cold and
slippery as glass, and so wide that one can
not rest his back and his toes at the same
time.
Something Like Our Pullmans.
Nowadays, on the trains between the sea
port and Santiago, there is a parlor coach,
with chairs, here known as "the Spooner
car," because introduced by'a gentleman of
that name. At first it was difficult to per
suade any noayio pay a dollar lor tne priv
ilege of riding in a chair, for habit is strong,

and these good people were quite satisfied
with the transit they had been accustomed
to. Bat having once tried the parlor car,
they were delighted with it, and now no
body who can command an extra dollar will
ride in any other. The consequence is that
the Spooner coach is always crowded, while
the others are nearly empty, and so great is,

By the way, the Chi'.ean Gofernmenf has

England, but mostly from American models.
We are told that the order was placed in
England, instead of the United States,
solely on account of the cheaper rates and
"more rapid delivery from the former
country.
Balmaceda Friendly to TJnclo Sam.
In an interview on the subject, President
Balmaceda declared that the government of
this Republic entertains most friendly feel
ings toward the elder, sister of the "north,
and is so anxious to establish direct and
regular steamship communication between
the ports of tho two countries, that Chile
will contribute her fujl proportion, to any
reasonable subsidy that may be necessary to
secure such service.
"Look how it is at present," said Balma
ceda. "Of the 73 ships that touch regularly
at Chilean ports, 31 aie English, 23 are Ger
man, 9 are French, 7 are Chilean and 3 are
Italian but not one from the United States.
That is not as it should be, since we are all
Americans on this "Western Hemisphere,
whether born on tho Northern or Southern
Continent; and especially since we younger
Republics of the South have built ourselves
upon the shining example of the stronger
Bepublic of the North."
The flattering remarks above" quoted were
made some months ago. Being fully en
gaged in a life-and-death struggle with his
chaotic countrymen, the poor President is
not particularly interested, just now, about
commercial relations with the United States
or any other country, beyond smug
gling out 'what arms and ammunition his
adheren's may require and preventing the
rebels from doing likewise.
Scenery of Central Chile.
The engineering-problems of this central
Chilean, railway do not appear to have been
great, at least as compared with those so
frequently encountered in Peru. The rise
between the sea and Santiago is about
1,800 feet, but there are no steep grades,
nor bridges worth mentioning, and only a
few short tunnels. Neither is the scenery
so grand as that along the Peruvian lines;
but much of it is eminently picturesque.
Running down through the heart of Chile,
in a southeasterly direction, the snowy
peaks of the Andes areconstantly in view
a broad, irregular line ofwhite against the
bluest skies I e er saw; while snow-shrouded
Aconcagua, the loftiest mountain of the
three Americas,' is visible the entire dis
tance. After leaving the "Valparaiso station
(whose fine buildings would do credit to
any city) never by the remotest chance on
minutes too early as an hour or more too
late the road runs for several miles along
the edge of the bay, close to the crav rocks
against which the waves are dashing, while
culls and curlews circle scrcamincr overhead.
In one place the hills trend down so closely
to the shore that there is barely room for
the track, and in stormy weather the car
windows are often sprinkled with spray of

Vino del Mar ("Vineyard ot the sea," pro

by far the most elegant and fashionable re

capital, and even of the far South, own

"Where Ultra-Fashionables Go.
Close by Vino del Mar is a long, low pale
blue painted hospital, which looks large
enough to hold most of the population and
might be handy in case of an emergency,
such, for instance, as a visitation from
Yellow Jack or vomitivo, since both those
terrors sometimes come thisVway. Just
beyond is an immense sugar factory, the
largest in Chile; and a few miles farther on
is another famous resort, named El Salto,

fast in Vino, it is ultra-fashionable to come
to El Salto, not only because the journey ia
longer and costs a trifle more, but because

thereis a winding road around and between
the hills, over mossy boulders and beside a
brawling stream, under the shade of oaks
and beeches. The merry little river exe
cutes many saltos in its wild race from the
highlands.to the sea, and along its banks no
end of wild flowers may be had for the
picking.
There are numerous villages between
Valparaiso and the Capital, but only two of
size and consequence. These aro Quilloto
and Santa Felipe; and at both stations
swarms of ragged men and women are al

Gorgeous Bouquets at Gorgeous Price.
Such gorgeous bouquets one sees nowhere
else in Chile. They are arranged in huge,
pine apple-shaped bunches, often larger
than an ordinary water-bucket some com
posed entirely of sweet-scented violets,
others all roses, or all pansies, or of mixed
flowers every one of them put up in the
same ungracelnl shape and surrounded by a
vast, circle oi scaiiopea paper.

prattle of injudicious travelers that flow

therefore they unblushingly demand 55 for
the overgrown bunch or violets (and it
would be well worth it if grown in a North

Chilean flowers seem to be particularly
short lived. The hot sun withers them im
mediately; the enterprising bouquet
venders plunge those they have failed to
sell during the day into the nearest stream,
and palm them off as freshly picked on un
wary passengers by the night train, who are
deceived by their 'dying fragrance, but can
not see their dilapidation in the dim light.
Quaint Cnstoms at Quaint Hamlets.
Some of the hamlets along this road are
as quaint as their names. There is Llai

breakfast or supper, according to the train

you mayhave a cup of hot tea, or a glass of!

Then there' is Limanche, with its beautiful
gardens and orchards, where many families
of the middle-class, who cannot afford the
prices at aristocratic Vino del Mar and El

branch road if bound for the mountains, or
for Mendoza, on the Argentine side of the
famous Uspallata Pass, which we must
traverse by and by.
Hereabouts in' central Chile the
land is generally owned in immense

all the coast districts, Yet there is no lack
of rivers in Chile as many as seventy-eight

of 2,800 miles; not to mention a multitude

DE OFTEN TORE HIS CLOTHES UP,

A TTEA5T IN HIS OWN HOUSEHOLD
wuxrcr ron the piSFATci.l
"A true delineation of even the smallest
man is capable of interesting the greatest,"
says Carlyle, a truth which all will recog
nize. Biography, which is only a higher
form of gossip than the ordinary, is inter
esting to all readers. This is especially
true when the subject is well known and
portrayed to the life when virtues are not
unduly magnified nor faults wholly ob
scured, when he appears as a man like unto
ourselves, and is not "written up" as a sort
of demigod.
Someone has confessed that the story of
George "Washington as told in the school
readers was always painful to him. As told
there the hero of the Revolution is shown to
be so tremendously good that his example
goes for nothing with the average boy. He
Is represented as unapproachable a being
who, from "his youth Up, was a model so su
perior that no modern boy could come within
a thousand miles of him. A saint who
would calmly take "a lickin' " rather
than tell a little white lie, is made of very
uncommon stnffas young folks think to-day.
Human nature is human nature, and it is
therefore quite likely that they as did the
man of whom we speak will feel relieved
whenthcy grow up and find that the Father
of His Country allowed himself to swear
when he got "awfully mad;" that he was oc
casionally tart in his temper; that he and
Martha had little spats now tyid again, and
that he no more loved his enemies than do
other men. They will rather rejoice that
in losing the saint they find the real man,
who is none the less the world-renowned
hero and revered patriot.
The Little Things Interest. '
No brighter page is there to be found in
history than that which records the genius
and capacity of "Washington as soldier in the
field and as President of the Republic, but
it is in the former on his estate, the hnsband
in his home, the details of his everyday life
aaa friend and neighbor that most people
take greatest interest especially women.
The memoirs of Talleyrand, now so soon
to' be published seem, as far as known, to
throw but little new light upon the private
history of the Bonapartes. He relates his
part in the great transactions of his day,
which make up so largely the military and
political history of the great man, but an
abler pen has long before given the inside
story of the mushrooms that found place for
a few brilliant years in the palaces of the
Bourbons. Like so many of the million
aires in these days who have risen from the
ranks, the Bonapartes were engaged in a
constant struggle for precedence, place and
power. They always hated Marseilles, it is
said, because it was in that city they lived
when their reputation was a little shady,
and those of its people who knew them at
all, knew them as deficient in education
and defective in the practice of the proprie
ties of life. After their advancement to the
"higher life" of royalty it is said that
Napoleon never forgave the people of the
province for the retailing of the disparaging
reminiscences, and that he allowed his
wrath against them to interfere with the
material interests of the seaport city.
Napoleon's Family at Paris.
His mother and the entire family seem to
have flocked to Paris when Napoleon at
tained power to benefit by all he could be
wrought upon to bestow. The mother was
not a brilliant woman, but she seems to
have had a prudent turn of mind, for while
the sun of fortune shone upon them she de
voted herself principally to saving and
amassing money, with which, when the
storm came, she returned to Rome and lived
comfortably upon dnring the rest of her
life. The sisters were intensely jealous of
Josephine, and never ceased in their efforts
to make trouble between her and Napoleon.
It was nothing but lies lies to which he
was only too eager to listen.
This delight in gossip and scandal was one
of the prominent traits of Napoleon's char
acter. He wanted "to know everything
about everybody and no one received from
him a warmer welcome than he who came
freighted with the mean and petty tales that
find origin in envy and malice. Men- are
fond of assuming that this delight in -gossip
is mostly confined to women whose lives are
narrow and whose minds are given to small
things, but a little thoqght and observation
shows that the brethren give as much time
and tattle to their neighbors' afiairs as the
most proficient adepts of the sewing socie
ties or the schools for scandal. Napoleon
even invited and encouraged tales as to his
wife. Such was his suspicious nature that
he had no scruples of delicacy or honor as to
talking over her shortcomings with their
friends and relatives. He kept. '
The Threat of a Divorce
ever Impending, and at times seemed to en
joy humiliating her before the entire court
by his attentions to other women. He had
spies ever at hand to report her smallest
doings and sayings. She on her side, em
ployed the same methods to And out his
goings-out and comings-in, and usually got
enough of tattle and scandal concerning
Napoleon to make herthoronghly unhappy.
Hue was irivoious, no? very intelligent, but
she was sensitive to such indignities as
were heaped upon her when the mood of
meanness seized upon him.
With all its thorns, however, she valued
her high position. She enjoyed its prestige
and its power. The prospect of becoming
a divorced wife, of resigning the grandeur
of a court and crown, of 'retirimy into ob
scurity while her enemies gloried inher down
fall, constituted the skeleton in Josephine's
closet. At times Napoleon se'emed to- take
delight in displaying this hideous horror
to his wife, and again he would gladden her
soul by appearing to forget all about it. But
with her knowledge of the boundless am,,
bition-of the man, her hours of happiness
must have been few and her sorrows keen.
Not often in real life are the "ups" so
high and the "downs" so deep as they were
in the lives of Napoleon and Josephine.
Military genius which raised the artillery
man to the throne of the Bourbons and to
the mastery of kings is a rare quality, and
well for the world it is. His passion for
war. his success in winning victories made
him the autocrat of France, while his easrer-1

might hold everything in his own hands.
He dictated the management of the house,
the observance of etiquette, the style of
Josephine's dress and the selection of her
friends. Amonz these he compelled her to
cut some of those who had been most kind
to her in her early days; and seemed es
pecially to delight m sowing dissention and
promoting distrust on all sides.
How Napoleon "Won Josephine.
The Bonapartes began poor. Throngh
the kind offices of Barras One of the Di
rectory Josephine had been enabled to get
back enough of her first husband's confis
cated estates to manage to "get along on"
in a modest little house in a back street,
"With this, after the storm of the Revolu
tion, she was content. "With her children
and her friends she took heart to. forget the
sorrows of her life arid grow happy again.
But the young widow was too handsome
and attractive to long lack lovers. Amonz
fthose who paid court to her was Napoleon,
who really, it might be said, Intimidated
her Into marrying him. His worldly ad
vancement at the time depended upon this
marriage, as Josephine's friends in power
were only disposed to help him' for her sake.
That he overcame her scruples and dislike,
ana tnus secured ms promotion, snows that
he had ss genius for conquest, eve as a

Carlyle) was aye a hard man to live with."
This seems to be true of most men of genius.
Shakespeare leaves evidence that he and
his wife did not live happily together1, since
by his will he left her only his second-best
bed. Few women, as history goes1, have
had a mora unpleasant married life than the
young wife of John Milton. So unhappy
did he make their home that both wife and
daughters hated him. Byron's married life
was a tragedy. The marriage of Djckcns
was a failure, and his treatment of his wife
will ever be a blot upon his memory.t
The Logic of Knskln.
Rnskin, with all his beautiful sentiments
upon Queen's. Gardens and the power of
women, was unhappy in his marriage, and
holds women responsible for all the suffer
ing, injustice and misery upon the. earth.
Josephine, "by his course of logic, was re
sponsible for the wars of Napoleon, respon
siblefbr the millions of lives that were lost
by his ambition just as npon Eve has been
piled all of tho sins of the world. It may
have been that if Josephine had been
more intelligent and less piven tn
frivolity; that if she .had had a
stronger sense ot right and wrong, and been
less lazy and selfish; that if she had had
sense enough to grasp the situation and been
less given to a study of dress and devices to
make herself look young; that if her love
for her children had prompted her to think
more of their happiness than their eleva
tion to rank, and that her affection for them
stirred her to feel the woes of others, she
might have exercised, an influence over
Napoleon for good. It mav have been that
had she been alive to her duty in the State,
that had -she been moved by true love 'rather
than vanity, had she bech conrageons for
peace rather than war, had she been stronger
in her love of country than in her passion
for cashmere shawls, she might have pre
vented the divorce ironi her husband, the
bloodshed and desolation throughout Europe
and the downfall of Napoleon.
It would seem as if his plan for conquer
ing Europe, and his mastery of affairs in the
field, ana his conduct of the civil govern
ment of the Empire; constituted enough
business for one man, but Napoleon regu
lated besides everything in the household
servants and salaries with as much care
and economy as Victoria manifests over her
cheese'parings.
Where His Temper Led Him..
He growled over what his clothes cost,
but he sacrificed many to his tantrums. He
hated dressing, and when anything 'did not
suit him, he nouldily into a passion and
fire it across the room or into tne fire, t He
had a horror of barbers and always shaved
himself. One of his habits when not in a
good humor was to stir the wood fire with
his foot and kick over the burning logs, in
his wrath, much to the detriment' of his
shoes. He would not be bothered with
courses at dinner, but insisted upon having
everything on the table at once, and he
usually spent not more than ten minutes
on a meal. He had a fondness for eau-de-
Cologne and used it to. the extent of GO
bottles a month. Imagine a warrior steeped
in cologne.
He insisted upon Josephine dressing hand
somely; and. she was nothing loth, but gave
her niuid and her time to it. She in the
days of the Empire, had eight dressers who
spent hours in "making her up" to look
young and beautiful. She changed ' every
article of her attire three times a day. If
Kapoleon did not like her gowns they were
changed at once. On one occasion, as re
lated, when he did not fancy one pf the
richest of her dresses, he emptied a bottle
of ink upon it. This mattered little,- as she
seldom wore anything twice. He would at
other times throw her shawls which did not
lease him into the fire. Shawls in those
ays were the fashion, and Josephine gloried
in the possession of from threeid.four hun
dred, for some of which she paid from f 2,000
to ?3,000 apiece. This favorite extrava
gance has gone out of fashion, but may come
round again as the Empire styles are being
revived.
Crowned Through Contrariness.
With the divorce in mind, Napoleon at
first did not intend that she should be
crowned as Empress, bnt his family were so.
importunate tnat she should be deprived ot
this honor that he crew contrary in nroDor-
tion, and determined that she should share
in the glory oi his great.-day. .Moreover,
he about this time would have relinquished
the divorce altogether, if the chief physi
cian, Corvisart, in whom Bonaparte had
great , faith, could have been induced to
enter into the secret plan to palm off a false
heir as the child of Josephine and Napoleon.
But Corvisart refused to take any part in
such an arrangement, and vgs insulted by
the mere proposition, much io Napoleon's
amazement.
The marriage of Josephine and Napoleon
had been performed by the civil power only,
but Josephine longed for the sanction of the
chnrch ceremony, probably with a view of
preventing the divorce, in an interview
with the Pope, she confided to him her
wishes, and ne promised to require that the
church marriage should precede the corona
tion in which he was to take part. Napoleon
consented and they were married by Card
inal Fesch. But no rules of church or hull
Of Pope could restrain Napoleon when he
set his mind to the contrary. The church
had eventually to knock nnderand,contraxy
to church rules and precedents, the divorce
was obtained-
Napoleon's Coronation Costume.
Napoleon, who is best known -hf his
picture in which he appears in a very plain
uniform, must have been weighed down,
with the. magnificence of his coronation
costume, especially" as his ermine mantis
alone Weighed 80 pounds. He wore white
velvet knee breeches with diamond buckles,
a red velvet coat embroidered with gold, a
white sash, a short cloak sewn with bees,
and a plumed hat, turned up, with a dia
mond bnckle. Josephine was equally
gorgeous in white satin and ermine
trimmed train with a magnificent display of
diamonds. How soon, divorce, disaster,
death followed this magnificent parade his
tory tells. After his fall, Napoleon.turned
to the-wife he had divorced for sympathy.
He wrote to her: "I have heaped benefits
upon millions of wretches! They have all
betrayed me." Neither of them seemed to
take thought of the desolation and. misery
they had brought upon millions of innocent
beings in pursuit of their selfish- ambitions
and greed of greatness.
His second wife, the Austrian princess,
had no real love for him, and gave no token
after his fall that her vow of taking him for
better or for worse was held by her to be
binding. Down to his latest hour, Napo
leon was a liar. The record of his life shows
him to have been not a hero but a selfish
man, who having fallen short of his am
bition, thought the world had cheated him.
The ingratitude of those he had raised to
place.and power soured him, but he seemed
to have no thought of the anguish, distress
nndT broken fortunes he had Drought upon
France. In years to come, he will be known
as a great soldier, a cruel despot, and a
mean man. Bessie ISeasible.

to do away with nearly all the hard work on

yet the "few hands necessary to manage
these machines cannot be had at good

IMPOSING HONUHEHTS;
The BIxo of the Stone Doesn't Indicate -toil
Amount of Grief. '

teries near this city I had as a companion
an old gray-haired dealer in tombstonesJ
says a writer in the New York TAegnan. Ina
what might be termed the fashionable por-j
tion of the cemetery I called his attention
to the impressive character of the massivsc
monuments of granite, with their brightly
polished sides, on which were inscribed tha
names and ages of those who lay beneath.
"That's right," said the old man. "The.
effect npon yon is just what was intended by
those who paid for the big pieces of granite..
They were meant to be impressive ; that is,
to impress outsiders with 'an idea of tha
wealth and social standing of those by whom
they were erected. Greatness of their grief, ,
did you say? Well, I guess not. Yon see

these tall monuments are not erected out of
regard for departed dear ones m evident
from the fact that not one tender thought or, .

the broad surfaces of those great masses of
