ful Hunter Day when Napoleon, hav

to the h till Htnndlng palace of St.
Cloud, announced his sudden resolution
to sell the whole of his possessions In
America to the Americans.
Much has been written about the
motives of Ilonupatic In parting with
his newly acquired and still unex
plored territory on this side of the At
lantic. It can only bo asserted with
safety that he doubtless acted from
mixed motives which were as various
as his moods. When not Inscrutable,
the main-spring of his action seemed
to be military glory and personal ag
grandizement. He was probably Im
pelled to adopt what proved to bo an
unwise policy, for these considerations:
1. He feared that in the event of war,
which was Imminent, he would lose the
colony of Louisiana within sixty days
after ho took possession. The trenty of
Amiens was at an end; Austria was
threatening: u Urltlsh Hoot was in the
AVest Indies and a sensational report
bad just come from London that llfty
thousand men were being raised to
move on Louisiana. 2. Ills affairs on
the Island of San Domingo were In

li'Ouvcrturc hnd worsted three of Ills
best marshals: Le Clerc had just died,
to whom he was attached, next to Dur
jjc, .Lnnnez and Uerthler; and Llvlng
'ston was shrewd enough to hold this
bloody spectre ever before his eyes;
another Sun Domingo on his hands he
did not want. 3. The Hist consul, Im
pressed by our minister's social rank
in his own country, no less than by his
merciless logic and solid understand
ing, had given his promise that debts
What for? If you ask her she will tell
you she doesn't know. She just feel3
nervous, that's all. A man is apt to
have very little sympathy with this con
dition in his wife. He can't see any
earthly reason why she should cry. She
has plenty to eat, plenty to wear, and he
does everything he can, he thinks, to
make her happy ; ami in spite of that,
she sits down and cries softly to herself,
apparently -without any cause or reason.
But there is a cause, and that cause is
some disorder or disease of the delicate
womanly organism. Unhealthy drains
haves taken away the vital force. Inflam
mation is fretting the nerves of the
whole body. If women did but under
stand the intimate relation of the gen
eral health to the local health of the
delicate womanly organs, they would
realize that the quick wav to establish
the general health is to cure the local
disorders. Dr. Pierce's I-'avorite Pre
scription dries the drains that enfeeble
women, heals inflammation and ulcera
tion and cures female weakness. It is a
medicine that can absolutely be relied
upon to make weak women strong and
sick women well. It contaius no alco
hol, and is entirely free from opium,
cocaine and all other narcotics.
Women suffering from disease in
chronic form are invited to consult Dr.
Pierce, by letter, five of charge. Dr.
Pierce, assisted by his btaff of nearly u
score of physicians, has in a little over
thirty years treated aud cured uiore

this time the hero of Italy caught it
vague glimpse of larger game. lie pro
jected the wild scheme of carrying tho
war, not Into Africa like Sclplo Afrl
canus, hut Into England, like Caesar.
Tho scheme did not work, partly be
cause the young chieftain was not the
peer of the "mighty Julius," whom
Shakespeare calls "the foremost man of
till this world." And then, the heroes
of the Nile und the future Victors of
Trafalgar were lying In wait In the
elmnnel; and hnd tho French levies ever
gotten Into England the retreat from.
London would possibly havo paralleled
the retrent from Moscow, the most dis
astrous in nil history. B. Livingston's
powers as 11 logician and sublime per
sistence were Influencing factors In this
momentous contention. Tallyrand said
"he was the most Important negotiator
ho had yet ippt with." And lastly the
French consul cherished it deslie to
build this nation up nt the expense of
Great Hrltnln. He had rather tho
American Union would grow strong
and great than should his most danger
ous rival. A few genuine Napoleonic
utterances must sulllce to support the
preceding propositions. The most. re
markable of these Is found on page G.",
of Hlstoire Generate Des Traltes Dc
I'.ilx by Lo Comte Do Gulden: "Ob
jection may bo made that the Ameri
cans will prove to be too powerful for
Europe In two or three centuries; but
my plans do not take Into account
these remote contingencies. They (.the
Americans) will have to give attention
in future conflicts among the states of
the Union. Confederations which call
themselves perpetual, last only so long
as the contracting parties find It to
their Interest not to break them and
It Is to other present dangeis to which
we are exposed from the colossal power
of England that I propose to apply a
remedy." This Is both authentic and
prophetic.
A translation from a passage on the
same page shows that wo paid for the
Louisiana region something more than
Bonaparte would have taken: "If I
should regulate my terms by what
these vast territories are worth to tho
United States, the indemnity would
have no limit. I will be moderate for
the reason that T am obliged to sell.
Hut, keep this to yourself, (to Murbois)
r want fifty millions and for less than
that I will not tie.U; 1 would rather
make a desperate effort to hold those
fine regions." On page 73 of same au
thoritative source, wo find this char
acteristic utterance by Napoleon: When
told by Barbe-Marbols that there
was more uncertainty and obscurity
In one article of the treaty, he replied
that "If obscurity was not there, It
would perhaps be good policy to put
it there." Thosw and 'numerous other
quotations have been transferred bodily
without credit, to what is known as
JIarboIs' History of Louisiana which
was probably written by William
Ueach Lawrence in the apparent inter
est of James Monroe and other politi
cal friends. The kindly Mnrbois ut the
feeble age of S3, doubtless lent the use
of his name to the inaccurate book
which first appeared in Paris In 1S2S.
The History of Pence Treaties, of
which Garden's great .work Is a con
tinuation, was first published prior to
this date.
Returning to the highest sources of
historical information on this side of
the ocean the 111 chives of tho govern
ment and the American State Papers
it may be atllrmed that the writers of
Louisiana treaty history have appar
ently shunned these first sources of his
toric facts as if they were poisoned
spi Ings.
As proof of the strange fatuity of the
chief ofllcers of tho administration,
the secretary of htate writes from
Washington to James Monroe, on April
20, 1S03: "C'eitaln It Is that tho hearts
and hopes of tho western people aro
strongly fixed on the Mississippi for
the future boundary. It is even
a doubt with some of the best judges
whether the deposit alone would not
be waived for 11 while, rather than it
should bo the Immodia'te ground for
war and an alliance with England."
This letter was written just ten days
before the great treaty was actually
signed and one week after It was virtu
ally agreed upon, AVIiat had already
become the central, transcontinental
canal, or broad, fiee highway from
mountain to sea of the greater lenuli
11c, Madison would make Its fixed,
future boundary.
On May 1, he addresses Monroe: "W'o
have just received the message of his
Rrltannlc ninjesty, which is represent
ed as tho slunnl of u certain ruptuie
with France." He adds: "Such an
event seems scarce avoidable." A rup
ture with France, whose ruler has Just
given us for a song an empire larger
than his own! Was there over f-ucli
blind-man's bluff diplomacy','"

1 at length that everybody was In favor
of the treaty, except a few Hartford
convention Federalists, Who had ceased
to be .Nationalists, ho reverses the
teachings of a lifetime and reliictuntly
approves of the action of his agents.
Mr. Jefferson had long been teaching
that the strict construction of the con
stitution permitted nothing to he done
under It except what was expressly
authorized, There was hence no au
thority In express terms for the nation
to grow in slue, to enlarge Its bound
aries, to add new territories. Ohio had
been admitted Into the Union that very
year with his npproval, but this wan
carved out of 1111 acquisition gained by
another peaceful or peace treaty with
England made, before the constitution
became operative. The new organic
law, according to this expounder, hin
dered giowlh, development, progtess,
expansion, Instead of frankly admit
ting that his constructional theories
were wrong, he proceeded to tuke the
light action and then tried to get the
constitution amended so as to authorize
In terms the acquisition of territory.
Hut the president's nearest friends took
so languid uu Interest In the amend
ment scheme that tho whole matter of
post facto sanction was tit once nud
forever abandoned.
However, as late as August 12, 1S03,
In a letter to John Breekemidge, the
president continues to Insist that "the
constitution has made no provision for
our incorporating foreign nations Into
our Union." Hut two urgent letters
from the over-watchful and Indefatiga
ble Livingston brings about an almost
Instantaneous change of scene.. The
minister writes that the first consul Is
already tired of his bargain, being free
from war's alarms, and has Instructed
Mnrbois to take advantage of any loop
holes or technicalities In the wav of
ratification or prompt payment, to get
rid of an unfortunate agreement. The
negotiator, almost tiembllng with ap
prehension, beseeches Jefferson by his
love of country and by all that Is holy,
to hasten ratification without the
change of a word or n stipulation: to
literally find immediately comply with
the financial conditions of the great
transaction, so that Uonap.irte shall
have no possible excuse for evading his
solemn pledges and obligations. The
timely appeal had Its desired effect.
The president wiote to the secretary of
state from Montlcello, August 1S: "1
infer that the less we say about con
stitutional difllcultles respecting Louisi
ana the better, and that what is neces
sary for surmounting them must be
done mib-sllentlo."
A special session of congress was
called to meet October 17, and at the
end of two days, to the enduring credit
of the United States senate, of the
Eighth congress, the magnificent ac
quisition was consummated and rati
fied. It is useless to rehearse the ex
ploded theories and sophistical reason
ing usPd In the senate and still more
In the house against this beneficent
treaty. Hamilton and other pa ti lots of
his party supported it most zealously.
Perhaps nothing weaker was said from
the beginning to the ending of this
enormous transaction than what Mon
roe said In a letter to Madison, written
two weeks after the treaty was signed:
"Could we havo procured a part of tho
territory we should never have thought
of getting the whole, but the decision
of tho consul was to sell the whole, and
we could not obtain any change In his
mind on the subject." Compared with
such dullness. Mr. Jefferson's twin
nation theory might pass for wisdom:
"Whether wo remain one confederacy
or form Into Atlantic or Mississippi
confederacies. I believe is not very Im
portant to the happiness of either
part." A final chapter contrasting con
ditions In the Louisiana purchase states
In 1S03 and in 1900, will afford, we trust,
a pleasing conclusion to this historic
story. James Q. Howard.

.
William J. Molster, whose picture Is
herewith presented, Is the president of
the newly-organized City Bowling
League nnd was for two seasons one
of the safest and steudlest bowlers on
the strong Uackus team. He was one
of the prime movers In the organiza
tion of the new league and formed the
WILLIAM .!. MI'.I'-TKIt,
t'ipsideiit of the New C'il How line I.cjrup.
Arlington team, of which he has been
chosen captain. He rolls a tantalizing,
rather slow ball and generally man
ages to run up an aveiage of 1C0 or
over for three games.
There is a deal of talk among local
bowlers In favor of conducting an In
dividual and two-men team bowling
tournament Immediately after the pres
ent series of games being played by
both leagues is .ended. It is proposed
to offer an Individual first and second
prize for each event and to have' the
Individual contest open lo all, for; the
purpose of deciding tile city cham
pionship for the year.
The tournament would be conducted
on either the Uackus or Hampe alleys,
and an admission foe charged, the re
ceipts to go towards defraying the ex
penses of the alTulr. The matter Is
onlv being talked ot as yet, but it is
worthy ol serious consideration on the
part of the leading bowlers hi both
leagues.
The showing made by the City league
teams on Wednesday night was gener
ally rather pool, six hundred games
being the rulo rather than the excep
tion. It takes several weeks, how
ever, for the members of a bowling
team to get working together nud to
set used 10 bowling 'in match sanies,
and it Is expected that better scores
will be made before many more games
are rolled. Indeed, there aie members
of tho second Uackus and Elks teams
who are willing to place bets that
they'll bent out the (list teams.
o
The M.u-kiut team Is 1 oiling In terri
bly hard luck. On Monday night they
lost three straight games to the green
Klectrk- City Wheelmen's team. Tho
first game was lost by two pins and the
second by eleven. The two games lost
lo the Mlks on Thursday night weie
a lepetltlon of tVs performance. It
was simply 11 case In every Instance of
falling down on the last frame nnd
making exasperating breaks or miss
ing spaics by a hairbreadth.
Thn surprlhii of the week was tho
playing of the Electric city five on
Monday night, when three straight
games were won. The Wheelmen had
two scores over 200, Mccracken making
Mi and Wettllng 0!u7, while the latter
had tho high uvorago of 177 2-3. There
"""in n memiim- on the team who
made a poor showing, the lowest total
for three games being -ill, There Is
rather a short runway on the alloys,
which puts visiting clubs at somewhat
of a disadvantage, but not to any very
greut extent.
'Bobby" Wharton, who waB one of
the pioneer bowlers of tho city, but
who of Into years dropped out of sight
is far as bowling Is concerned, Is
back at the game again and rolled up
tho ox eedhigly high averago of 1SI the
other night. Ho is In charge of tho
llnmpo alleys and does n grent deal of
howling, which Is no small factor. To
this can bo attributed Hilly Hopkins'
great success. Ho is In chargo or the

In selecting a steak for a good sired lamlly
sirloin will be found more rtonotnleat llinn

Xot esery one knows that there re fash
ion In rnla of steak a well a In dtori and
these vaiy from time to I line. Now tho
porlei house hold the place of honor, lint not
so many jear ngo the lump was considered
the choicest, and the porterhouse was ranked
Willi Inferior cut. A a matter of fact 11

cut steaks of the rump are also excellent.
Haling then "caught jour steak" the next
thing Is to see to Us proper cooking. While
the Ideal method of broiling steak Is over
gas or ehaieoal, any good clear coals, hard
wood or mineral will answer, ftrcasc the grid
iron with a bit of the suet and lay the steak,
which should be about an Inch and a half
thick, upon It. D.i not presume to stick 11
fork in the meat, as that would allow 1 lie
juice lo escape. Sear it qulcklj- on one side
nnd turn on the other. As soon as both side
arc seared over, keep turning eicry moment
or two tor about ten minutes, depending, of
out course, on how tare you like your steak,
llaie jour platter hot, likewise thn plates
upon which It Is to be served. Also a tin
plate upon which you hac 11 half table
spoonful of butter, a teospoonful of salt and
a d isli of pepper or paprika. A soon a the
steak is done, lemoie from the boiler on to
the hot tin plate and basic with the mellcd
butter. Having thoroughly seasoned It, take
from the tin plate to the hot platter. If jon
like etrn seasoning, h.ic ready a little
chopped parsley and some sliced lemon. Run
the lemon in Iho parsley and place two or 4
tlttcc slices on each cud .of the steak.
