NAPOLEON AND ETlENNE.
 sat. as edited by Senator Paul do Remusat, the present academician. M. de Remusat was censor of the drama as well as of the press at this time, and nice time he had of it in satisfying the man on horse back.
 : But Napoleon did not have things al- together his own way during the time that he was managing editor. The edi- tor of the principal French newspaper in New York City, tells story of this period that on the whole reflects credit on the great Emperor. This wasi ISIS, when troubles were gathering around Napoleon. Etienne was the editor of the Journal des Debats." At this time Bonararte was in what the Ameri- cans would call state of mind. He was sati> fled that Austria was try ing to intrigue against him through his wife, Marie Louise, and one day he very ill-tempered editorial to be printed in the next issue of the Journal de IEmpire." The editorial did not appear in that issue. The Emperor ragged and ordered that editorial in the next day and made all sorts of threats as to what he would do if it was not published. But It was not published even then. Nor did it appear the next day. Then Napoleon lost the little temper he had control of
 Bring Etienne to me dead or alive" he ordered and the editor was brought before the Emperor. lie was alive. The editor did not speak when brought into the presence of Napoleon, nor did he show any sign of fear. He simply awaited developments. Napoleon paced the floor in the quick, energetic man ner peculiar to him when angry and those in the chamber looked for vio- lent outbreak. They were disappointed; for after several circuits of the room the Emperor darted towards Etienne and seizing him by both shoulders in tho toughest sort of a way exclaimed:
 II thank you"
 Then he left the chamber. It was his way of admitting that the editorial was unwise and that the editor was right in not printing it,
 After the fall of Napoleon, the Jour nal de l'Empire'' became the Journal des DebatS' again and has since held the same name. With the departure of Napoleon the anti-Napoleon, Bertnl, came back and the other brother took back seat. so to speak. The paper well ,omed back the exiled princes, and in a q gnlfed sort of way danced on the re- mains of the Little Corporal
 It has Ieen conducted in much the same manner ever since. It has always maintained a dual character and has managed to carry water on both shoulders very successfully for the last century. Yet the old paper is not anything like what it was in tho mat ter of circulation CT profits. Before the fall of Napoleon it had. as has already been stated. a circulation of more than 23, Ooo copies daily and its annual profit of 201. coo francs, not a tad profit in those days.

A SUBSTITUTE FOR COAL.

Petrole is the name given to manu- firm in Minneapolis, and is the direct outcome of the scarcity of fuel which has retarded the birth of manufacturing industries in that city and. in fact the whole northwest. It Is made from saw dust, the residuum of crude petroleum, and number of other ingredients which are not made known by the in- ventors. The residuum of petroleum is mixed with the other material, and is heated in large sheet iron tank to 400 deg Fah. It is then run into a mixing machine where it is thoroughly mixed with sawdust, and is afterwards carried by means of a chute to a heavy press, where it is subjected to a pressure of 1000 pounds to the square inch, and moulded into blocks 10 in long, in wide and 3 in thick. It is claimed for this new fuel, which has been success fully tested, that it is cheaper, and its results as satisfactory in every way as coal. Arrangements are being perfect ed in Minneapolis for its manufacture on large scale, and the right to use the invention has already been sold in a number of states. It Is as we'll adapted for domestic as for manufacturing pur- poses, and the blocks can be shipped and handled conveniently on account of their size.

THE TIME TO ADVERTISE.

From now until Christmas, merchants will be on the qui vive. Holiday goods have already appeared in some of the windows, and in week or two the dis play will be dazzling. Of course, some of the merchants go more deeply into the holiday trade than others, but in these later days there are few merchants who do not look forward for rush dur ing the holiday season. The trade this year promises to be immense. N1er- chants who are generally credited with foresight have arranged for the biggest stocks in the history of their business, and claim that they will offer greater inducements to the public than ever be- fore. After having secured their stock, however. the most important thing is to let the public know what they have. Judicious advertising counts every time. If you don't believe it, you can be con- vinced by consulting the many solid, re- liable business men who use the columns of the DEMOCRAT.

EILRAIN'S HACKERS Willing to Arrange Another
 Fight With Sullivan.
FRANK STEVENSON VISITS JAKE
After Explaining Matters the Pugilist
 Started for Mississippi.

His Trial Will Take Place on Monday-If
 He Is Acquitted He VIII Talk Fight
 San Francisco's Rich Men will Hang
 Up a $2O,OOO Purse for Sullivan and
 Jackson to Battle for.
 BALTIMORE, Dec. 3.-Jake Kilrain and his his manager, Doc Adler, have gone to Mississippi City, where his trial takes place next Monday. Jake appeared to be in good spirits, though a tritie nervous. His friends here who saw him off, among whom were Oh arley Carroll and other sporting mon, were more hopeful of Jake's early return to Baltimore than the pugilist himself. Upon the arrival of the train at Cincin- natl, Jake will be met by Bud Renaud. who, as per agreement, was to accom- pany Kilrain to Mississippi City and escort him thence to MT. Rich's place, where the party will stop until Sunday evening.
 The stake proposed was 5000. While Kilrain was desirous and even eager to accept the offer, he told Stevenson that fight just at this time. He preferred to await the outcome of the trial before committing himself in any way. Be sides, to make any arrangements now might prejudice his case. Stevenson agreed with him, and so the matter will rest until Jake's return. Just before leaving homo kilrain received letter from Pony Moore in which the latter said that he would back him in any sum to fight either Slavin, Smith or Mace.
 That his friends have still great faith in Jake's powers is shown by propo- sition to back him for another fight with Sullivan. This fact is not generally known, and only leaked out to-day. The offer was made on Saturday by Frank Stevenson, Kilrain's packer in the Sullivan fight, who arrived here from New York early in the morning, | and left again on the noon train. His | presence here was unknown to any one excepting Kilrain. Stevenson told Jake | that his friends had still unbounded | confidence in him, and that they were ready to again back him against the big fellow.
 Kilrain takes no stock in the offers of the California Athletic Club to put up money for fight between Sullivan and Jackson. He does not believe them bona tide. "Besides,'' said he, 'Jack- sons manager is too shrewd man tc risk a meeting at this time when he has everything to lose should Jackson be defeated, as he would be by Sullivan

SPEAKER REED showed his greal genius at the very beginning of his career. It is said that when he first ap- piled for admission to the bar, accord ing to his own story, he was asked by the examining judge whether the legal tender act, which was then being dis land, was constitutional. ''It is consti- tutional, sir,' was Mir Reeds quick re- sponse. "You can pass," said the judge. ''We always pass man who can settle great constitutional questions off-hand." The moral of this is that if you have sufficient confidence in your self, you may get nominated for speaker on the second ballot.

Among it's con- tributors have been Benjamin Constant, Chateaubriands, Jule Simon. Lamartine Girardin, George Sand, Balzac, and band of others who assisted in giving the Journal des Debats" its reputa tion.
 Some days you may see in the dark alley in which the old journal has its offices a sturdily built man with strong face smoothly shaven and with all the outward appearances of man of intellect This is none other than Ernest Renan, whose Life of Christ" ,''History of the Jews" and various other works have created so many sen- sations, not only in France but in all Europe. He is a distinguished member of the staff of the Journal des Debats." And he, like most of his colleagues, is . member of the Academy.

poleon had one which is shared by many other great men. He thought he knew all about editing a newspaper; and in a certain way he did. He had . cor t. Tn grim humor about him which some tGitors still retain. He showed this on couple of occasions, as instances-one c Bonaparte got dissatisfied with the IT, me of the paper. and, to the dismay of the brothers Bertni, he changed it.

That was . pretty good joke in Its way. but it did not altogether satisfy Bonaparte, for one day he appropriated the whole busi- ness without regards for the rights of the brothers Bertni. He placed 1t in the hands of eighteen shareholders, one of the chiefs of whom was M. de Remu- sat.
