Another sunnosed Murder.

Last November the skeleton of an un-
known man was found at Mt. Echo, in
Storrs Township, and it was impossible at
the time to determine how the person had
come to his death.
Squire VIM. Dimmick, of the Twenty
first Ward, called on Coroner Carrick this
morning and stated that he had evil
dence which went to show that the
man, or man clothed in garments
corresponding with those found upon the
skeleton, had been seen in the company of
Herman Wilkin, who is now charged with
the murder of Gus Wagenknecht, and that
it is not unlikely that he met his death at
the hands of Wilkin.
The Squire intends to fully investigate
the matter and if he is successful Wilkin S
life won't be worth much.

NapOle0n's Parents.

The family of Bonapartes were of pure
Italian race; there was not drop of
French blood in any of them. Their
ancestors had come from the mainland
in the early history of Corsica, and their
names are found in the remote annals
of Ajaccio. Carlo Bonaparte was poor
gentleman, of excellent breeding and
character, who married in his youth a
young and romantic girl named Letizia
Ramolino, who followed him in his
campaigns up to the moment of the
birth of Napoleon. It is impossible to
say how much the history of Europe
owes to the high heart and indomitable
spirit of this soldiery woman. She
never relinquished her authority in her
family. When all her children were
princes and potentates, she was still the
severe, stern Madam Mere. The beauty
and grace of Josephine Beauharnais
never conquered her; the sweet Tyro-
iese prettiness of Maria Louisa won
from her only q sort of contemptuous
Indulgence. When her mighty son
ruled the continent, she was the only
human being whose chidings he re-
garded or endured. She was faithful in
her rebukes while the sun shone, and
when calamity came, her undaunted
spirit was still true and devoted to the
fallen. Her provincial habit of economy
stood her in good stead in her vigorous
old age; she was rich when the empire
had passed away. and her grandchildren
needed her aid. It must have been from
her that Napoleon took his extraord!n-
ary character, for Carlo Bonaparte,
| +boupb /. hroyo cn1dipr and an ardpnt
patriot in his youth. was of an easy and
genial temper, inclined to take the
world as he found it, and not to insist
too much on having it go in his especial
! way. After the cause of Corsican lib
erty was lost by the success of the
French arms, he accepted the situation
without regret, and becoming intimate
with the conquerors, he placed rs many
of his family as possible on the French
pension list. His sons Napoleon and
Louis were given scholarships at Brienne
and at Autun, and his eldest daughter,
Elise, entered the royal institution at
St. Cyr. While yet in the prime of life,
he died of the same deadly disease
which was to finish Napoleon's days at
St. Helena; and the heroic mother, her
responsibilities becoming still heavier
by this blow, lived tor eight years
longer amid the confusion and civil
tumult which had become chronic in
Corsica; and then, after the capture OF
the island by the English in 1898, she
made her escape with her children to
Marseilles, where she lived several
years in great penury.-Harper's Maga-
zine.
