KEMMLER'S HOPE.
Another Legal Technicsiity May save
Him Vet.

AuBURN, Aug. "A delicate point Of
law has been suggested here by "a gentle
man deep IN legal lore. II is that the
week beginning August 4 ends with sun
day. The warden has arbitrary power to
defer the execution of Kemmler un-
ill Sunday. August 10. II is held
that the general law would intervene
to prevent the killing upon the ground
that the execution Sunday is not legal.
Directly Mt this point the case is touched
by that general principle Of law that II
the sentence under which Kemmler
is expected to he killed is void m
part, II must he wholly void
and brought To close. Application
premises warrant the assumption that III
IL is illegal To- kill Kemmlcr on the seventh
day OF the week designated, then IL would
he illegal Ia kill him on any other day OF
the week designated.
The situation il is held would he differ
ent IL Sunday interviewed as a part Of the
seven days, because IL would then run
with the week and be part of seven days
constituting a week.
As the case stands the week in which
sentence Is to he executed will not be le-
gally complete because the week ends
with day void In law. Unless there is
some general law which may bridge this
point raised. the entire sentence, IL is
thought, will he null and void.

Empress Eugene was to be one of the pas
sengers. Evelyn was enchanted. She has al
ways entertained q romantic and enthusiast
tic devotion for the once beautiful and now
sorrow stricken lady. Just as the train
was about to start the empress arrived,
with several ladies and gentlemen in at
tendance. Though by no means tall, and
costumes, the Empress Eugene is one Of
the most graceful and dignified Of women.
The outline of her shoulders is beautiful
one, and the poise of her head is fine. while
the characteristic eyebrows are still dark
and we'll marked, though her hair is snowy
white above them.
apart from all national and political
considerations, no one can refuse to this
unhappy lady their truest sympathy and
the respect due to her SORROWS. When
we arrived ON board the Victoria we
made tour of inspection. The ladies'
boudoir is pleasant place in the very
center of the vessel, paneled in different
colored marbles, and lighted by cleo
tricity like all the rest of the yacht. There
is large drawing-room as we'll and fine

the empress's cabin, which had been very
prettily fitted up for her with yellow Lib
erty silk and plush curtain hung over the
door. A suite Of five persons accompany
her on the cruise, and they were busy ar
ranging rings, packages, etc., in the various
cabins allotted to them. The empress her
self carried bags and shawls into her own
particular sanctum, the whole party talk
ing French of course; but her majesty
spoke English when thanking the manager
for the arrangements that had SO Thought

WAYS OF NAPOLEON.

Always Dressed by . valot-Ticklish Joh

Napoleon, we are told, was dressed every
morning by the valet in attendance. He
did not don single garment himself
eventually, however, he was induced to
shave himself. It happened in this wise
In 1903 the head valet, Hambard, pleaded
i'll health as an excuse for not accompany

shave me?" asked Napoleon, for Hambard
had regularly discharged this duty. HAM
bard suggested Constant, who, foreseeing
this emergency, had been diligently taking
lessons on humber chins and had acquired
proficiency. He had no easy task, for Ma
poleon, while undergoing the operation,
would talk, read the newspapers, and fidget
in his chair, sometimes sitting as stiff as q
statue and declining to bend his head an
inch. Great care was necessary to avoid
cutting his face.
Another popularity was that he insisted
on one side being lathered and shaved be-
fore the other was touched. When Con-
slant got free enough with him to venture
on the step. he urged on Napoleon the de-

point, however, he was obstinate-he per-
sisted in moving the razor downward in
stead of upward, and occasional cuts were
the consequence.
While not lifting a finger to dress him

undressing; but he flung his garments all
over the room-his watch sometimes miss

then dropped all or nearly all ON the floor.
