NapOleon's Hats.


Careful inquiry has led to the discov-
cry that there are no fewer than nine OF
Napoleon rs hats still in existence. A
writer in The Vie Contemporaries gives
a list Of them. One is in the possession
of Nine. Claitte, whose grandfather,
General Giraud, picked it up at Ma
rengo. At a critical moment Bonaparte
started off at q gallop. and the wind
blowing off his hat he did not stop to
pick it up.
Another of the hats is in little crypt
beside Napoleon's tomb at the Invalides.
This was worn on the eth, Sth and 9th OF
February, 1907, at Eilau, and 1t is the
identical n represented in the colossal
picture of the battle by Gros, to be seen
in the Louvre. During the peace which
succeeded the battle Gros was commits
stoned to paint the picture, and in order
that the figure of the emperor might be
faithfully depicted the hat was given to
the painter.
At the death of Gros in 1885 it was
found under a glass case upon a wooden
stand. and it was sold by auction among
the painters effects for 2,047 francs SO
centimes to DR.. Delacroix, who present.
ed it to Louis Philippe. The later, after
the famous second funeral Of Napoleon,
ordered it Il be placed beside the re.
mains with the emperor's crosses and the
sword he wore at Austerlitz. Of the re.
manning hats one belongs to Prince Vic
tor Napoleon and another to the museum
at Gotha.-London News.

A DREADFUL TRAGEDY.
THE FATAL TERMINATION OF A
FAMILY F1UD.
A Prominent Citizen OF Southern Illf-

Then Suicides.

METROPOLIS, ILL.,, July 21.-The COM
munity was shocked this evening by the
most dreadful tragedy ever known in
this section., Richard Shoemaker killing
Richard Lukens, jr., George Lukens, his
brother, and after seriously wounding
the father of the two dead men, put
bullet into hia own body with fatal re-
suit. All parties we're men of high
social standing and we'll known through

Kentucky. Richard Lukens, ir., mar

Lillian Jones, about three years ago.
Shoemaker had been her guardian
and after the marriage was called up
On for the accounting OF the estate.
Scosainely he had run through large
sum left the girl by her father. Pro-
tracted litigation followed and much
bitter feeling was the result. Recently
piano in the possession of Mrs. Lukens
was sold by Shoemaker, and ON its re-

The feeling had been greatly intensified

Bland Announces the Silver
Mems Programme.
It Includes the Repeal Of tie
Sherman Law,
But Only to Clear the Way for a
Free Coinage Bill.
Acting Director OF the Mint Preston Ex-
plains the Treasury's Policy in
the Purchase of Silver
Bullion.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ST.. LOUIS, July 21.-"We will repeal
the Sherman law with free coinage
BILL" This is the way Representative
Bland stated the programme of the sill
yer advocate today. Bland spoke as one
in authority; as leader who knows his
business and understands in advance
the lines of battle. When asked what
caused the present financial stringency
he said:
Whatever panic we have is due in a
great measure, if not entirely, to the
threat of the Wall street fnanciers that
they would bring on panic or monetary
stringency in order to accomplish the
demonetization of silver. The propo-
sition now made to avoid panic
and restore prosperity is to repeal
the Sherman act. The unconditional
repeal of that act would be regarded by
the world as the total demonstration Of
silver, which would have the effect to at
once widen the difference between the
bullion value Of gold and silver. The
further depreciation of silver would
then be seized upon by the advocates of
gold standard as an insurmountaDle
objection to its restoration"
at is well known" added Bland,
'sthat the administration is opposed to
any silver legislation. We have no way
whatever of securing the legislation
needed, except by bill repeating the
Sherman act. Any other would be
vetoed, hence those who ad-
vocate the unconditional repeal
of the Sherman act cannot expect
to be recorded as the friends of silver.
Our policy will be to substitute. We
are opposed to the Sherman act because
it is bad silver law, and we. want to
substitute good one tor it. That is the
issue, and the only issue. and the ses-
sion will have to confront it.

WEIR Cry, Kan, July 21.-No violent

foreign element among the strikers is

LONDON MAKES THE PRICE.
Tho Treasury's Policy Regulating the

New YORK, July 2l.-The 5. Post
Washington correspondent says: 81
much criticism has passed upon thu
policy of the treasury in determining thu
price which it would pay for silver bul
lion. and the question was raised in &C
many quarters whether the Londor

be used as basis, that it was suggested

claim" said Preston, "that in accord
ance with the law the price of silver in
the London market must necessarily be
taken into account. 1t is the price OF
silver in London that regulates the
price of silver the world over.
The London rate has regulated it all
through this century, and regulates it
now. The London rate controlled the
commercial value of silver even when
the mints of the Latin union were open
to unrestricted coinage of silver at the
rate of 151s to /. The French coinage
ratio had no effect after the closing of
the mints of the Latin union to unre-
stricted coinage of silver. Ask banker
in Paris, Melbourne, Calcutta or Hong
Kong the price of silver, and before
answering he will consult the latest
London quotations.
"The English market being 30 largely
supplied by the United States we should
naturally expect to find silver cheaper
in the United States than in London,
and when we do not so find it, we can
not help inquiring the cause. It is be-
cause the treasury is bound to follow
the law. If those charged with making
purchases of silver for the treasury did
not endeavor to ascertain whether the
prices offered agreed with the market
prices, and in that endeavor they did
not compare the offered prices with the
price in London, the worlds silver mar

stock of metal, is comparatively easily

snow, if the London market is not to
be considered in this case, as some
critics of the treasury claim, why should
any one on our side of the water have
felt interested in influencing it?"
In purchasing silver bullion today at
10 cents per ounce, the treasury depart
ment paid lower price than it ever
before paid for the commodity.
The offers of silver to the treasury
Today aggregated $40, 600 ounces at 70 to
