Baron larey has published in Paris
torical sketch called 'Mme. Mere"
tho mother Of Napoleon tho Great
No one was bcttcr fitted to write this
sketch than Baron I.arrcy, the son OF
Napoleon's great surgeon, and in
writing he obeyed the wish OF his
father. From his early childhood
Baron Lar1ey has collected documents
OF the emperor,
In 1884 Baron l.mrey went TO Rome
with his father. Napoleon's mother
was then living in the Rinuccini pal
ace, now palazzo Bonaparte. In Rome
tho mother of Napoleon |. was known
as MADAME, aud all the letters, die
tated by her, for she was blind, were
signed with this name.
When Baron l.arroy and his tather
arrived at the palace they were shown
into n large room, tho one window Of
which gave them view OF the capt.
tol; near this window was Napoleon'S
camp bedstcad, and ON this bedstcad
they saw u woman almost one hundred
years old her head supported by pill
lows. Amuslin turban onvelopcd the
head, aud the face denoted reposc and
meditation. Madumc's eyes once
black, were gray and Opaque, because

her great age, the profile was that OF
Roman empress, and she welcomed
Baron Larrcy and his father with most
touching reference 10 her beloved
sons great affection for tho famous
surgeon.
She was surrounded by busts Of all
her famous family, but the most con
spicuous was that of Napoleon,
Madame related TO her visitors tho
way Ia which she spent hor days.
Awake very early she first received
her reader who gave her the latest
news. Then she brcakiastcd IN bed

Napoleon at ST. Helena, afterwalrl
she was dressed for the day and al
ways In the deepest mourning, Her
fayorito occupation was spinning, but
sho also knit, ~ that allowed hcr to
think and lamont,
Madamo's memory was unimpaircd,
and her judgment sound, She con-
suited Baron larrey's father about
her cataract, but her age rendered u
cure impossible, Her great sorrow
was that she could not walk because
Of fractured leg inpcrfectly set and
was taken in q rolling chair, and she

speaker Crisp Declares In Favor OF
Adopting the Tactics OF Mr. Reed.
WASHINGTON, Feb. s.-1he House
again impressed upon its members
yesterday the necessity for q iIdical
change in its rules. twas suspension
day and the large attendance OF mem
bers was due to the hope on their part
that at least three bills of national
Importance might be acted upon.
Speaker Crisp had promised to recog-
nize the friends of the anti-option bill
and the Torrey bankruptcy bill. But
Mr.. Kilgore (Texas), aided by less
than score of Southern and Western
Democrats, was enabled by dilatory
motions, repeated roll calls and other
flibustcring devices to frittcr away
the entire day.
The success of the filibusters at this
session in repeatedly obstructing i'm
2ortant legislation has shown the
Democrat IS of the House that the II. les
for the government of the Fifty-third
Congress must be very materially
amended In their view the proceed
ings yesterday emphasizes the fact
that the fllibusters have passed be-
yond the stage OF protecting the
rights of the minority" and have ii in
their power to throw the House at any
time into a state Of isorder.
Speaker Crisp was so d.sgusted at
the course of events that he said:
"The next Congress will adopt the
old Reed rules or some thing like them,
as they have come TO be absolutely
necessary in order to conduct the bust
ness of the House."
