Nopoloon's 6tubbornneoe Caused the Death
OF Two Hundred Frsachnsa.
It IL only few years since many
English sailors were drowned because
an admiral gave = wrong order, and
another officer, who knew the order to
be wrong. obeyed it Admiral Bruix,
of the French navy. was once In the
English officers position. and took
contrary course, although his orders
came from no less parsonage than
Napoleon l. Both cases, it should be
noted, occurred not in battle, but on
parade. At such q time, surely. sub
ordinate must be justified In saving the
lives of his men, even at the cost of
technical disobedience.
While Napoleon was at Boulogne. in
1904, he went out to ride one morning.
leaving word that on his return he
would review the feet. During his
absence, therefore, q message was sent
to Admiral Bruix, that he might order
the ship to weigh anchor and pu: out
to sea. To the astonishment of the
messenger, the admiral replied that he
was very sorry, but the state Of tho
weather would not permit the review
to take place. ::
In due time the emperor returned,
and inquired if everything was ready.
The admirals response was communi-
Gated to him. At first he seemed not
to understand, but on its being re-
peated he stamped his foot and ordered
the admiral summoned into his pres
ence.
The admiral came at once. but even
so he was not quick enough for the en-
peror, who met him halt way. The
emperor's staff followed, and stood
ranged in silence about him.
''Sir Admiral" said Napoleon, in an
angry voice, "why have you not
obeyed my orders?"
''Sire," answered the admiral, with
respectful frmness, "a fearful tempest
is preparing. Your majesty can see it
as well as /. You cannot wish to ex-
pose uselessly the lives Of 30 many
brave men,"
Constant, the first valet lie chambre
of the emperor, and one of his frmest
apologists, is constrained to admit, in
relating the story, that the aspect OF
the sky at that very moment fully
justified the fears of the admiral; but
Napoleon was too much irritated to
listen to reason.
'.Sir," he said. II have given orderA
Once more, why have you not executed
them? Obey!'
''Sire, shall not obey"
At that word the emperor advanced,
riding whip in hand, as If to strike.
The admiral recoiled step and laid
his hand upon his sword.
''Sire," he said. turning pale, "take
care!'
The two men faced each other; then
the emperor dropped his whip, and the
admiral withdrew his grasp from the
handle of his sword.
''Rear Admiral Magon," said Ma
poleon, '.you will execute instantly
the order have issued. AS for yca,
SIR turning to Admiral Bruix, ''you
will leave Boulogne within twenty
four hours and retire into Holland.
Got"
The rear admiral did as the emperor
had hidden. The tempest broke AZ
the admiral had predicted, and more
than two hundred Frenchmen were
drowned before the emperor's eyes

Troubles Among the HairdrooeeFS OK
Olden Times.
A long chapter might be written on
hairdressers, their rights and wrongs
and revolutions; but they have always
been stanch tories in their hatred OF
wigs England had her wig riot in the
reign Of George H.; Milan had hers in
the reign of Maria Theresa. It arose
from an audacious attempt by some
restless innovator to cover every
fashionable head in Milan with wig
of steel or silver wire, warranted to
save some three hours daily toll and
endurance in tho dressing OF the hair.
Up rose the hairdressers like one man,
and petitioned the empress to save
them from the threatened ruin of their
art
The empress listened to their prayer,
and straightway decreed that anyone
wearing one of these new-fanglod
periwigs must pay . fine of fifty
sequins or be thrice scourged in
public. She further empowered the
police to search private houses for the
offending article, and to destroy It II

his comedies he ridicules . brother

THE CUNNING BRONCO.
Traits Of This Hardy Little Rover Of the
Western Plains.

Western Plains.
A few words about this horse-tho
horse of the plains Whether or no his
forefathers looked on when Montezu-
ma fell, they certainly hailed from
Spain. And whether it was missions
ries or thieves who carried them north
ward from Mexico, until the Sioux
heard of the new animal, certain it
also is that this pony ran wild for Q
century or two. either alone or with
various red-skinned owners; and as he
gathered the sundry experiences of
war and peace, of being stolen, and of
being abandoned in the snow at incon-
venient distances from home, or being
ridden by two women and baby at
once, and of being eaten by bear, his
wide range Of contretemps brought
him q wit sharper than the street
Arabs, and an attitude toward life
more blase than in the united capitals
of Europe. have frequently caught
him watching me with an eye of such
sardonic depreciation that I felt it
quite vain to attempt any hiding from
him Of my Incompetence; and as for
surprising him, a locomotive cannot do
il, for have tried this. He relishes
putting a man in absurd positions,
and will wait many days in patience
to compass this uncharitable thing;
and when he cannot bring a man
to derision, he contents himself
with steer or buffalo. helping
the man to rope and throw these
animals with IN ingenuity surprising
any circus, to my thinking. A num-

Newark, N. J., Aug. 29.-Three men were shot, two of them probably fatal- ly, in an affray that occurred at about nine o'clock last night on New Jersey Railroad avenue. The man who did the shooting is John Moore, bartender of A Cherry street. His victims are John O'Brien, aged twenty-tWo, shot in the back of the head and the skull was prob ably crushed with the butt of the re- volver; James O'Brien, aged twenty eight, shot in the forehead, and John Don1an, shot in the left breast The two O'Briens were taken to St. MichaePs hospital, while Donlan was sent to the city hospital. Moore is locked up at the Third precinct station. He is in a pitiable condition, having been kicked and badly beaten. Moore says he re- fused to trust the O'Briens and Donlan for drinks at different times. They had threatened to do him up and when the gang attacked him while he was on his way to work he shot them.

the Vigilant jbed before turning. The run home was a close reach, with booms to starboard Both baby jibtopsails, jibs and staysails and in the breeze, which was again freshening, the two yachts showed signs of life. Then the bank of clouds in the west sent storm of rain, wind, thunder and lightning down over the course and there was a merry time for quarter of an hour The Defender caught the squall first at 3:25. She heeled well over and the water on the deck reached nearly to the cockpit, where Mrs. Iselin was sit ting. Captain Half luffed up into the wind and she strengthened up. Down came her baby jibtopsail, but no move toward further shortening of sail was made. The people on the Vigilant were more cautious. They first took in the baby jibtopsail and minute later the elubtopsail. As they did so the squall hit them and the boat almost showed her centerboard, At S;S0 the wind was blowing thirty-five miles an hour and the sea was white with foam. At 3:32 there was a sharp report like that of a saluting gun and the jib of the De- fender split along the middle seam. Captain Half luffed up and the torn sail was gathered in. The Vigilant was making bad weather of it, taking bad dashes of spray over her bows and laying down low before the sudden puffs of wind The Defender with her clubtopsail still aloft and her sturdy Sytn up much better.
 At $40 the center of the squall having last and left a strong southwest breeze Defender set new jib and dashed ahead at an eleven-knot clip toward the finish. Vigilant sent up working top sail and heeled well over and endeav- ored to catch the flying syndicate boat. The latter was a good two miles ahead and going fast.
 At 3:54 Defender sent up a baby jib- topsail and two minutes later Vigilant followed. The new sloop raced away toward the light and crossed the finish line at 4;10:0S
 The wind was dropping rapidly and the Vigilant, though beaten by only nine minutes at the time Defender fin ished, was unable to reach the finish line until 4:2S:23.
 The elapsed time was: Defender, 4:49:4O; Vigilant, 5;O7:49.
 Defender won by IS minutes and 5 seconds.
 Both boats anchored in the Horse shoe for the night.
 The Valkyrie was caught by the squal off the Point of Sandy Hook. Her club topsail and balloon jib were taken in and she stood the blow in good shape. She anchored near the American boats. The report that Defender had been held back in all her previous races with Wig liant in order to disguise the real extent of her superiority was revived after to- days contest, and plenty of yachtsmen wagged their heads and said, VT told you so."
 It is more probable, however, that the improved form shown by the yacht is due entirely to the changes which have just been made in her. She looked filter in every way to-day than she was in any of her previous trials and her crew seemed to have gained in quickness.

Results of the Games in tho Big League

 At Brooklyn-With to-day's game the
 Brooklyns made it twelve straight. Rheims was hit hard throughout the game. The Cincinnatis found Sterns at times, but perfect fielding kept the score down. Burnham umpired wretchedly Decisions were made against both teams, but the visitors suffered the most. The score:
 Brooklyn ....4 1 0S ? 1 0 *-11 Cincinnati 70 1 0 1 0 2 l.
 Hits-Brooklyn F, Cincinnati 12. Er- rors-Brooklyn 0, Cincinnati 3. Batter ies-Stein and Grim; Rheims and Vaughan.
 At delphia-Philadelp defeat- ed Chicago again this afternoon by bet ter fielding. Both pitchers did good work, but Taylor showed up the strong CT In tight places. The outfielding of Thompson was the feature of the game. The score:
 Philadelphia 2 0 0 0 ? 0-5 Chicago ..... 0 0 0 2 0-2
 Hite-Philadelphia 9, Chicago g. Err rors-Philadelphia i, Chicago 3. Bat teries-Taylor and Grady; Griffith and Kittredge.
 At Boston-To-day's game was rec ord breaker for wrangling and McDon- aid lost the ball altogether Continual kicking and Cuppy's slowness delayed the game so that it was called on ac- count of darkness in the middle of the eighth. Tebeau was fined $5 for abu. sive language. Two bases on balls, an error by McGarr, three singles and a home run as a wind up gave Boston seven runs and the game in the sixth inning Up to this time the Bostons had done nothing with Cuppy. Nichols pitched superb game in tight places. The score:

They fielded like lot of schoolboys and could do nothing with Dad Clarke when hits meant runs. O'Brien's error in the sec ond inning was directly responsible for the eight runs scored. Weyhing was hit very hard, but with perfect support there would have been some interest to the game The score:
