TAKING ASToR DOWN A PEG.

nubbe GENTLY and Internationally By
u Dukes Gardner.
William Waldorf Aston, the expatri-
ated American millionaire, who now
resides In London, Is the subject of a
lengthy biographical sketch in Tit
Bits, a publication issued in the Brit
ish capital. Incidental to the sketch
1t is related how the duchess OF Cleve-
land gently set him down on one occa-
sion. When his grand estate offices
on the Thames embankment were fin
ished he gave a magnificent banquet
to a number Of swells. Showing one
of the staircases in the building t O the
duchess, MI. Astor is alleged to have
asked:
Isn't that handsome, your grace?"
Eyes, 1t certainly Is" replied the
duchess. .
Isn't 1t more so than any other
staircase you I've saw?" Mr.. Aston La
! reported to have persisted.
At this the duchess back very nat
urally got up.
"Yes," she said, gently, II admire II
very much. 1t is much finer than our
old staircase at Battle abbey, which
has been spoiled these 200 or 800 years
by the spurs OF those stupid old
knights"
Battle abbey is probably the g,and-
est old place In England. and COM
pared with Cliveden, Mr.. Astor's coun-
try house, is like a battle ship to a
torpedo boat.
Another story with a similar point
is related In the same skech. Mr.. AS
tor. 1t is averred, was lost in admira-
ton OF the duke OF Westminster's lawn
at Cliveden when he first saw 1t, and
II is said. asked the gardener:
"How do you grow turf like that?"
well, sir" say the gardener, rub
bling his chin and looking very limo

He awoke refreshed, for a great
weight had been taken off his mind.

Philip, restored to composure by
these reflections. went on deck. The
d~ebarkation Of the troops was already
taking place, for they were as anxious
to be relieved from their long confine-
ment as the seamen were to regain a
little space and comfort. He surveyed
the scene. The town OF Batavia lay
about one mile from them, low on the
beach; from behind 1t rose a lofty
| chain of mountains, brilliant with YER
dure, and here and there peopled with
country seats belonging to the resi-
dents. delightfully."- embosomed in for
ests of trees. The panorama was beau
tiful; the vegetation was luxuriant,
and, from It's vivid green, refreshing
to the eye. Near to the town lay large
and small vessels, a forest Of masts;
the water in the bay was OF a bright
blue, and rippled to n soft breeze;
here and there small islets like tufts
of fresh verdure) broke the uniformity
of the water line; ever the town itself
was pleasing to the eye, the white COL

dark foliage of the trees, which grew
in the gardens and lined the streets.

 aapoleon's Strange Plan of Conquess.

 aapoleon's Strange Plan of Conquest.
 4 German historian is said to have discovered Napoleons original plans for the invasion of Great Britain in the year 1789, and accident wills it that this discovery was made at the same time that the French agitation for a submarine tunnel connecting France (via Spaln) with her African possessions is renewed.
 One hundred years ago Napoleon was still General Bonaparte. He had humbled Italy, and had captured the pope; free Switzerland was vassal of France Then the general set out to be lord of the sea
 He decided to tow an army over to the British coast on great floating forts, with large bodies of troops lined Up in battle order. They were then to fight their way ashore. and land on the coast without resort to lighters. The troops were to march ashore in the order of their regiments. preceded and backed up by the artillery.
 It will be remembered that Napoleon has often declared that he would have been as great an admiral as he was 6 general with half a chance But, he added, "the French are useless as sail- ors. They are too fussy. too eXeitabie. At sea one needs calm mind, quiet fortitude, and energy"
 To many on this side of the Atlantic, the words "engine house, marked on Napoleon,s plans, are of peculiar in- terest. Fulton, the American inventor. launched his first experimental steam boat on the Seine in 1803 but his con- neetion with the French government dates from 1797, when he offered his submarine torpedo boat to France. Failing in this, he turned his attention to steam navigation. From his draw ings, it would seem that Napoleon meant to try steam navigation with his ferries one hundred years ago
 No doubt Napoleon used Fulton's plans, but there was still another American inventor at his service John Fitch, of Connecticut-who built the first unsuccessful sidewheelers in 1788 to 1790, and three years IaCer went to Paris to sell improved plans for steam navigation to the French government.
 Bonapartes ferries were built in Brest in Cherbourg, and in BouIogne. but when Napoleon inspected them, in the spring of 1798, his faith in the new fangled marine monsters Wavered. He abandoned the proposed invasion of the British Isles and instead started on his famous expedition to Egypt,

Music for All.

The PlanoIa is like n player born into
the world with all the necessary mus
cles and sinews perfectly developed,
and always In practice. 1t IS an abso-
lutely perfect automatic instrument,
with carefully arranged music; and It's
technique Is faultiess. Each note Is
sounded clearly and distinctly. Just as
the composer intended. There is no
slurring. There are no mistakes. The
most difficult compositions are rs easily
executed as the most simple. Four
handed arrangements can be per-
formed as readily as those written for n
single player. Thus the Planola enables
the entirely unskilled performer TO ex-
ecute music with technical accuracy
which It has taken the artist years to
master. Indeed, as far as the execution
is concerned. the Pianolu is capable OF
performing music that would be en-
tirely impossible to the greatest mas
tiers. In word, the Pianola enables
any one, with or without musical
knowledge, to play the plano with tech
nical accuracy.
The public is cordially invited to at
tend the Planola recital next Friday
afternoon ut the music parlors OF F. w.

Yesterday morning Deputy United
States Marshals D. R. Jackson and
George Stout came to Wheeling and
later In the morning they went to Ben
wood and made arrests on charges
growing out Of the late street car strike,
The men arrested make up the police
department of Benwood, and Rre Mar
shall George w. Furbee and Officers
George Fisher and Thomas Gately.
The charge preferred against them is
that they lnterfered with the Federal
officers in the discharge Of their duty
during the strike. Furbee is alleged to
have released young Holderman, who
had been placed under arrest by one Of
the deputy marshals. The warrant for
his arrest was issued by United States
Commissioner George E. Boyd, jr.,
some weeks ago but was not served at
the time. Officers Gately and Fisher
are charged with having placed Deputy
Marshal Kester under arrest Just after
the latter had shot at and wounded q
prisoner who was attempting to escape.
The warrants for arrest of GateIy and
Fisher were issued day or two since
by United States Commissioner Casio,
of Parkersburg.
The arrests were made at the Benwood
city hall about 10 o'clock, and there was
no resistance on the part of the trio
wanted. They were brought up to the
city and arralgned before Commission
err Boyd. Colonel George B. Caldwell
was secured to represent Furbee. Gate
Iy and Fisher. Colonel Caldwell desired
an immediate hearing, but the govern
ment asked for time in which to secure
witnesses who were not available yes
terday. The commissioner acceded to
the request of the government, and set
the hearing for Monday, August p. The
three prisoners were released on $500
bond, Marshal Furbee being the surety.
The friends OF Alessrs. Furbee. Gate
ly and Fisher hope that they Will not
get into serious trouble as a result of
their actions during the strike. In ex-
tenuation It is alleged that they were
influenced by the practically unanimous
radical sentiment that permeated Ben
wood at the time, and which 1t was but
natural that they would share.
