prevent any steps being taken for

Mr.. Moore is a stakeholder What
ever may be the decision the case
is to be carried to the L. 5. Su-
preme Court, from which it is
hoped to get a decision before the
government begins to collect the
tax.
The following quotation from
speech made by Mr.. McLaurin, a
Democratic member of the House
from South Carolina, on the cur
rency bill, bars him from the
cuckoo feed trough: at is a fraud
upon the name of Democracy, and
bears upon its face the moral tur-
pitude that now seems to dominate
that great, although somewhat
shattered, organization. The dem
ocratic party for years has asked
the people for chance to bring
peace and prosperity to their
doors. Two years ago that request
was granted, and what has been
the result. Not a single pledge
has been redeemed nor a single
promise kept, but the entire machi-
merry of the party has been placed
in the hands of that class of indi
vidualS who have been in the past,
and are even now, the curse of the
plain people of the country. The
people had a relief to expect from
the Democratic party, and the re-
suits of last November may be
taken as lively reminder of their
disappointment, and | venture the
assertion that if the present bill
becomes a law, the people at the
next election will wipe out the
last vestige of the Democratic par
ty."

The value of PoIiteness.

The phase man was dilating on the value
of politeness everywhere, but especially
in stores and remarked that he would
DISCHARGE a clerk for impOlteness or in
attention quicker than he would for petty
theft.
An old resident of Roxbury overheard
the remark, and as an illustration of the
Importance of politeness on the part Of
salemen said;
"A good many years ago / went to New
York I'm company with my friend y. One
snowy day we strolled into A, T. Stewards
store. Neither of US intended to make a
purchase. We merely went there as a
matter of curiosity.
at the door we were met by a polite
gentleman who insisted that he should
take our overccats and umbrellas to re-
lieve us of the burden OF carrying them
about the store. We told him we were not
intending to purchase anything, but that
other equally polite gentleman insisted on
escOrting us tnrOugu the building. The
fact that we did not intend to purchase
goods did not lessen his courtesy.
Finally to entertain US the courteous
clerk showed us a large invoice of shawls
unfolded one after another, and by and
by my friend said he would take a fifteen
hundred-doslar India shawl which pleased
him. and a little later / purchased Q valu-
able carpet When we entered the store
neither of US had the slightest intention of
pOliteness of that clerk put more than
1900 into the till of A. T. Stewart which
would not have been there otherwise.
You quite right in emphasizing the
value of politeness. 1t is the most valua-
be commodity a man or woman can carry
about. IT may sometimes be misplaced.

NAPOLEON AND JOSEPHINE.
A New Private Life Which Defends
the Act of Separation.

a great deal of sentiment has been
wasted over Josephine and her divorce
but the author Of a new private life of
BonapaI-te. by Simeon, and translated from
the French by Arthur Levy, shows that
Napoleon was fully justified. apart from
the reasons of state, in taking the steps
Of separation. At the time of his mar
rage and for a long time afterward he
worshiped her. but she was always cold
and Indifferent, seldom writing TO him
during his absence, continually and Sc
cretly contracting debts for jewelry and
dress, and finally compromising her repu-
tatiOn by her relations with an officer
Hlppchte Charles, who had been expelled
from the army Of Italy by the emperor
This scandal occurred while Napoleon
was in Egypt, and was kept from him as
long as possible. He was at last told Of
il by Junot. and determined on an fmme-
date divorce. On his return he was met by
Josephine with such a show of humiliation
and sorrow and so many vows of future
devotion that he forgave her and con-
tinued to live with her. although his love
Tor her was dead. Later a genuine affec-
ton seems 70 have grown up between
them, so that at last, when the divorce
was decided upon. it was a matter OF
pain TO both. NapOlen never, even after
his marriage with Marie Louise. lost in
terest in Josephine. The second marriage
was even more unhappy than the first
Marie Louise was a weak creature, with
no principle, and when the emperor was
banished TO Elba she took up with a lover
with whom she had long had relations.
Both wives, whom he had striven by
every means in his power 20 make
happy. deceived him, with this differ
ence: While Josephine was unfalthful to
him from the first Marie Louise only
deceived him after several years of mar
riage. In each of these unions he tried to
found an exemplary and peaceful home
governed by the simplest habits. Neither
the splendor of his career nor the pride
of state had any influence upon his char
acter as husband and father
Several chapters are devoted TO the re-
lation OF what Napoleon did for his Of
fcers and relatives. and the ingratitude
shown by them in return. We are in
clined to think that Mr.. Levy does not
sufficiently regard both sides of the ques-
ton. As a general thing. when Napoleon
bestowed favor upon any Of his rela-
tives It was saddled with conditions which
were often difficult and irritating; and
besides, any recipient of his favOrs was
never allowed TO forget the obligation.

Women Riding AStride.

THAT brings me to the curious plea
that it Is unnatural for a woman to ride
astride, though it Is perfectly apparent
that the bicycle seat in no way differs
from the ordinary chair or stool except
that 1t is of smaller area and made to
conform 10 the contours Of the body more
nearly. / have travelled throughout the
East and nowhere have 1 ever seen a
native woman riding anyway but astrde.
In India, Ceylon, Java, China and Japan
when woman goes on horseback she
sits Ike a man. Arabs, Turks and Per-
slams always do, and in Palestine / saw
many women on horses, mules, donkeys
and camels and always in what L am
sure is the way nature intended us all
to ride. Our own Indian women in all
the Americas ride 50. The remains Of
classical antiquity make 1t certain that
no Greek or Roman woman ever thought
IL necessary to face forward by turning
her body at right angles when on horse
back Customs are immutable In the
Orient and just as surely as the holy
family fed into Egypt with the aid of the
mules and donkeys OF the country just
50 surely did the mother Of our Lord sit
astride as she rode.
Indeed, the custom of riding sideways
cannot be traced further back than to the

 Public comment on the young mans re- lations to the singer had reached such a stage that 1t was important for him to he present at ball which all Vienna was cer- tain to attend, so he went without an in- vitation and told his hostess that he sup posed his failure to receive one was due to an oversight This misoonception of the situation was very frankly cleared away by Prince Reuss, who told him that he had failed to receive an invitation be- cause none had been sent him, and that his presence there was not desired He and his father promptly left the embassy, and there followed challenge from the Roumanian ambassador who was mem- Der of the Baoaresco family.

Occupants of adjacent boxes protested against tho disturbance and were prompt ly informed by MT. Hammerstcin that hc owned tho place and if they didn't like his conduct they could go to hotter re sort.
 Among those who expostulated with the irate manager was one George Kess Ter, wine merchant and man about town, and him MT. Hammerstein treated with particular contempt. The men finally ad- journcd their dispute to the lobby, whero MT. Hammerstein smote the check of his adversary and was promptly floored for his presumption. Being fat man, tho i'm presario promptly rebo0nded and was i'm mediatcly knocked down again by the powerful fist of his opponent This opera tion was twice repeated, greatly to the edi fication of crowd of bystanders, among whom Di bio and her maid were conspicu- ous, before .'the only Italian policeman on the force'' intervened.
 On repairing to the station house Messrs. Roster & Bial promptly bailed Mr. Kess- Ter, but refused to help their partner, who was left to cool his heels for few hours till his messengers could find bondsman. In court next morning the combatants were discharged, with a reprimand, after Justice Voorhees, had laid down the law on subject of interest to theater goers everywhere

to applaud is undeniable, said he. "They have the same right to disapprove. But in both cases the individuals should take care not to interfere with the rights of others who wish to sit quietly and do neither"
 This affray has aroused a good deal of interest in Gotham first because the case itself is very unusual and next because the parties involved are men of consider able notoriety. MT. Hammerstein was originally interested in tho tobacco trade, in which he made good deal of money. A few years ago he built two theaters in Harlem and blossomed out as theatrical manager. While engaged in that capacity his cumulative disposition has led him into a number of rows which have gained more or less publicity. In 1899 he built the Manhattan Opera House in Thirty fourth street, and after an unsuccessful season there he entered into partnership with Roster & Bial and converted the house into a music hall. He once wrote-or said he wrote-the score and libretto of comic opera in 24 hours on a wager.
 MT. Kessler is personally one of the very best known men in New York. He drives the showiest carriages in the park, including hanson drawn by spank ing team. His afternoons are devoted to business and driving, but as soon as night has settled over the city he appears in his dress suit, and wherever men congregate there he may be seen. He receives an enor- nous allowance from the French wine house he represents. Gossip has it that he receives $50, 900 for expenses and that ho spends every cent of It.
 Hedivides his time between Hollywood, N. J., and Saratoga Springs during the summer season, and in the great club houses there is no heavier gambler than he. In one night last month in Saratoga he lost $17, 500 in the United States club house at baccarat. In the Saratoga club house he lost $8,0O0 at sitting.
 Mir. Kessler gave famous clambake in. tho betting ring of the Saratoga race track in August. He had invited about 600 guests and had turned the entire ring into gigantic dining hail. Nearly all of the turfmen of that section of the country were present. The feature of the repast was the dessert. An army of about 90 colored walters filed in after the food had been discussed, each one carrying an i'm mense watermolon,tinto which bottle of champagne had been poured. The bot ties, head downward, were standing in the melons.
 This is not tho first row in which Mile. di bio, tho singer, has been involved. Four years ago she was singing at Dan- zer's Orpheum, Vienna. Her devoted admirer was young Roumanian prince, the son of Roumanian ambassador to Vienna. He was always with her when she drove in the prater in tho afternoons and in her box at the opera where she spent tho evenings until the time came for her turn at the second class theater at which she was singing It is reported that this young man, in moment of i'm pecuniosity, had borrowed tho singers jew els and pawncd them. This was very gen. erally discussed in Vienna at the ti1ne and when tho German ambassador to Austria, Prince Y ;-
