NAPOLEON THE MAN.
Light Thrown on His Character by
Suppressed Letters.

PARIS, July I'M. Leon Lechtre,
curator of the French archives, will is
sue, during the present week, the first
volume Of 300 letters which were sup
pressed by the editors of Napoleon's
correspondence, issued in 1863 as not
calculated to increase the glory of the
great French emperor. The volume in
cludes some heated family letters, AMI
some vigorously Worded epiStleS to
Fouche and Duboise. the ministers IF
police and war, respectively. A letter
to Marshal Soult, in 1904, shows that
Napoleon did not hesitate in adopting
any means of obtaining confessions
suspected of communicating with the
British, adding: IF he refuses to
speak, you must squeeze his thumbs
in musllet lock-"
This was a method adopted to ex-
tract confessions in the cases of per-
sons suspected of espionage.
Napoleon's list Of persons to be ar
rested was endless, and his abuse of
Nine de Stael was unceasing. Learn
ing in 1907, through Marshal Victor,
that Prince Augustus Of Prussia was
intriguing against him in Berlin, Ma
poleOn wrote: 81 am not aStOniShed,
because he has a dull mind, and has
spent his time counting Nine de StaHl
at Coppot (SwitzerlanO, and, of course,
could only pick up bad habltS with
her Send word to him that at the first
mischievous remark he utters you will
lock him up in his castle and send
Nine de Stael to console him. There
are no men so cringing as these princes
of Prussia"
Writing to Talleyrand in 1908, that
princes of former reigning families of
Spain were about to arrive at Valencia,
Napoleon said: You may send for
Nine. Talleyrand and four or five per
sons If the Prince Of Asturias should
form an attachment for a pretty per-
son, it will be no drawback, as it would
supply another means of watching
him."
Another letter from Napoleon to Tai
leyrand reads: Your mission is hon
orable enough to receive three illus
triuus personages, and amuse them,
and is quite in keeping with your char
acter."
When Napoleon received the news
June II, 1909, that the pope had eX-
communicated him. he wrote: 1T spare
the pope no longer He is raVing
madman and must be locked up.

NEW YORK, July With the APPROACH of

ket assumes duiler tone than has been the
case hitherto. The buying in the market
is of casual character, and mail orders have

one, both IN first hnads and the jobbing mar
kets. Sales were really heavier than was ex-
pected, and the totals for the month, it is
believed, in most quarters will compare ia
vorably with the business of June 1896. In
staple cottons the market is still unsatis-
factory. Bleached goods are still sold slowly
at steady prices. Brown cottons are in slow
request. with export goods only fairly active.

HUSTLED IN THE SNOW.
Corbett and Fitz In a Condition of Prime
Order.

Carson, New, March Sit requires
but trifiipa stretch Of imagination to
make eastern visitors think that they
were camping out this morning. Win
dow stills were banked high with snow
and without great fakes were falling.
A coating of slush and snow obs.ured
the sidewalks and the highways were
ankle deep in mud.
Chief Dave of the Piutes who made a
friendly call on Chiefs Corbett and
FitzsiIn mons today, and informed the
pugilists they noed hardly expect good
roads for their morning oonstitutionals
hereafter. Dave 10 of the opinion. however,
that March II will be clear and warm
and that the fighting buoks" may
battle in war paint without discomfort.
The big fellows were not worrying over
the elements. Their present perfect CON-
ditions account for this feeling of con-
tentment. Both of them know they are
fit now and only require enough work to
keep their joints from stiffening. The
Australian fretted about the house this
morning three hours before be decided to
venture out. He then trailed on behind
fast horse and buggy and hoofed it into
Carson, scooping COAT OF mud at
every step. Hurry1ng back he set ali
hands to work boarding the interior of
his gymnasium thus converting it into
small hand ball court. This done he
produced set Of teunis balls and
shuffiei around in the little room and
gave Roeber few points on Corbett's
favorite game. When he had worked up
persperation Bob turned to q new
punching bag and whacked the stitches
from two seams before the end of 10
minutes After the regulation amount
of boxing and wrestling followed con-
Guiding with vigorous rub down.
eff this snow keeps up I'll show some
Of these Holsters how to play handball, !"
declared Corbett after breakfast today.
AL Hampton and brother Joe were quick
to pick up the defiance and everybody
adjourned to the ball court. The
champion did not make good his boast,
but Kept both his opponents on the
move to win. Without stopping to rest
or showing the slightest trace Of fatigue,
Jim could outplay his sparring partners
and took each of them on four rounds.
They worked hard, but could not even
make him puff. After his hard days
work Jim waluzad; around the court and
s1ugged at an imaginary opponent
while his rub down was icing prepared.
There Is no indication of break in
the storm tonight. The snow Is eight
inches deep and still falling heavily.
Carp enters employed on the arena
knocked off work this afternoon, but
they have plenty Of margin left in which
O fin ish before the end of next week.
The sale of tickets was the heaviest on
reoo I'd today.
