NAPOLEON AT LUNCH.
The Great Conqneror Was Not Particula

The Great ConquerOr Was Not Particular
as to His Manners. ~,
Thegreat Napoleon was by no means
great in little things In the fine art
of dining he was particularly small,
although he was a genius in attracting
his foreign visitors by tickling their
palate with the most wonderful ''crea-'
tions" of that jewel among chefs. LIE
Guipiere. 1t never took the. first Ma
poleon more than ten minutes to swal-
low his breakfast, and, 10 the disgust
of his artist of the kitchen, he refused
to spend more than half an honr over
his,dinner.
Napoleon generally lunched at a
small round table. And this was we'll,
for it was one of his little pecnliarities
to forget the use of knife and fork, and
to plunge his fingers into dish and re-
gale himself, n 10 SINCE. with whatever
savory morsel he might get hold Of
As for using his dinner napkin, that
was altogether out of the question.
At dinner the emperor had the various
courses brought in at the same time.
and often ate three or four courses at
once, in his Observation-Disclosures taking
anything placed before him. SO that
occasionally he had ii piece of jelly or
cream on his plate before he had fin.
ished with the entrees. He always
ended his meal with a large cup OF
coffee. "a
At luncheon or dinner parties at the
Tuileries, Napoleon took hardly any
notice of his guests. He got up when
he had finished and walked into the
drawing room The Empress Josephine,
however, took no notice, and made a
sign to her guests not to rise. II, how.
ever, she was occasionally obliged to
follow the emperor, the rest Of the
party had to go empty away This
was SO well known that one day, when
his majesty rose. after only few min.
utes, from the luncheon table, and his
guest, Prince Eugene, following him
into his room. the following dialogue
took place: "You haven't had sufficient
time to finish your meal said the en-
peror. Pardon. your majesty, "replied
the prince, with gallant bow, but

favorte dishes were mutton, lentils
and salad made of French beans. and

of the lightest table wines. But wheth
er he was at the Tuileries or in camp
he never dined off anything but sole
gold or silver. Pail Mall Gazette

London, Sept. 6.-What is now desir-

SLEPT ON A RUNAWAY LOCOMOTIVE

Old engineer on the c., B. & @. railway

CHINA SICK OF WAR,
SAY MANCHURIA IS NOT PROM
ISED TO RUSSIA.
Emperor and Ii Hung Chang in Full
Accord-Powers Evade Russian
Proposal.

New York, Sept. GA dispatch to the
Tribune from London says:
Opinion gains ground that no more
powers not even France, will return an
affirmative reply to the Russian propo-
sition. On the other hand, it is also
thought that none of them will gre to
send decided negative and effsrts are
now being made either to find middle
course or induce Russia ito withdraw her
suggestion. Prevalent opinion here cer-
tainly is that Great Britain ought to re-
tain her troops in Pekin if any two pow
ers will support her in SO doing.
Distrust of Ii Hung Chang deepens and
it is now accepted that the Russian
scheme was arranged after consultation
with him. On this point, an interesting
statement was made yesterday by the
Chinese minister, who is strong adher-
ent of Earl Ii, and was once his personal
secretary. Asked whether he had received
telegram from Ii Hung Chang urging
him to persuade England to accede to the
Russian proposal, the minister replied in
the affirmative.
"Russa," he continued, "has offered,
at the instiga ton of Ii Hung Chang, to
remove her forces from the capital and
has thereby taken the first step toward
general peace. | 40 not pelleve Rus
sia's move has a double meaning, as per-
sistently suggested, and l certainly am
unable to confirm in any degree the re-
port that the czar has been propitiated
by promise of Manchuria. You may
discredit it entirely"
Asked if he had succeeded in persuad-
ing England the minister replied:
II am doing all possibly can. have
sent a powerful memorial to Lord Sails
bury and am anxiously awaiting his re-
ply. So much depends upon it that Am
erica and Germany are hanging on the
decision.
speaking unofIicially for a moment I
cannot but think that Great Britain's
withdrawal or promise of withdrawal
would pave the way to speedy settle
ment. The Chinese people generally are
most anxious for peace. They are sick
of war and would welcome any negotla-
tions which would have as a conclusion
mutual commercial basis on more per-
manent lines than heretofore between
the two countries. Earl Ii, whatever
YOU may assert to the contrary, is pro-
European and not pro- Russian. More
over. he is not philanthropically inclined
and does not seek for peace and reorgan-
ization of the western commercial deal
ings because it would benefit China: He
is progressive, and in this is diametrical-
" opposed to Prince Tuan."
TO the further question whether the
Chinese government still existed as an
agent of authority, the minister an
swered:
