NAPOLEON WAS IN SING SING.



Cooked Up by a Keeper while on a Visit OF
Inspection in 1881.
1t is not generally known to the
world at large, says the New York
Times, that Emperor Napoleon Ill.
Of France was once behind the bars
In Sing Sing Prison. In the spring
of 1887 Prince Louis Napoleon, after
ward Napoleon Ill, Emperor Of
France, made q visit to Washington
Iryington at ~Sunnyside, alitvle north
of Iryington-on-the- Hudson, accom-
panied by a young French count, and
escorted by Anthony Constant Of
Hastings Prince Napo'e con expressed
a desire to visit the prison at Sing
Sing, and Mr.. Constant drove him
there. Upon arriving at the prison,
the party was welcomed by Warden
Rowel, who after taking them into
his apartments, explained the means
that had been attended with tho
most successful and beneficial results
in the government of the prison.
The Warden told the Prince, who
had been an interested listener, that
he had a convict in the prison, a
| Frenchman, who was an old soldier,
claiming to have fought at Waterloo
and to have been in several battles
| with Napoleon, the first Emperor.
The Prince naturally asked to sec
the man. The Warden then ex-
planned that the prisoner was in a
| dark cell for misconduct; that it was
contrary to prison rules to take him,
out, but as the guests were going to
| visit the cells he would open the door
of the Frenchman's cell.
Then all followed the warden down
the stairs and across the keyroom
and the narrow passages to the gall
| leries, where the cells we're and are
to this day. lie paused at the Sec
ond cell on the right-hand tier OF the
| main galleries and unlocked and

stepped inside, The Warden, with a
\ merry twinkle in his eye, turned the

| good an opportunity to be lost. The
gentlemen were amused and brim'

momentary detention. the door was

ter which so soon after the deaths OF
the first William and Frederick
exiled from Berlin the man who had
done so mu h to make those Emper-

acluiesced in by a people who, If they

loyal to the founders Of the Empire
III the latter sentiment has at times
risen above the former it has not
been / e ause the Germans loved
William less, but because they re-
membered Sedan and Versailles the
more. Nor can it be said that the
second William without Bismarck
has been able to add greatly TO the
glory and prosperity achieved by the
first William with Bismarck. All
has not gone well with this hot

than once his subjects have had o.

been re eived. There is no doubt
that the reconciliation is on both
sides whole hearted and perma.

and the publication OF the details
have been enough to increase the
Emperor's popularity ten-fold
Probably the effects of this new
