IngersoIl at the Grave
of Napoleon.

y i4ltiC HIS hSO, F7-NNN -
the grave of the old Napoleon-a
magnificent tomb of gilt and
gold, fit almost for dead deity
and gazed upon the sarcophagus
of rare and nameless marble,
where rests at last the ashes of
that restless man. I leaned over
the balustrade and thought of the
greatest soldier Of the modern
world.
| saw him walking upon the
banks of the Seine, contemplate
ing suicide. l saw him at Toulon
/ saw him putting down the
mob in the streets of Paris
saw him at the head of the army
of Italy-I saw him crossing the
bridge of Lodi with the tricolor
in his hand-I saw him in Egypt
in the shadows of the pyramids
i saw him conquer the Alps
and mingle the eagles of France
with the eagles of crags. |. saw
him at Marengo-at Ulm and
Austerlitz. I saw him in Russia,
where the infantry of the snow
and the cavalry of the wild blast
scattered his legions like winters
withered leaves. l saw him at
Leipsic in defeat and DISASTER
driven by a million bayonets back
upon Paris-clutched like wild
beast-ban1shed to Elba. l saw
him escape and retake an empire
by the force of his genius. saw
him upon the frlghtful field OF
Waterloo, where Chance and
Fate com bined to wreck the for
tunes of their former king. And
l saw him at St. Helena, with his
hands crossed behind him, gazing
out upon the sad and solemn sea.
l thought of the orphans and
widows he had made-of the
tears that had been shed for his
glory, and of the only woman who
ever loved him, pushed from his
heart by the cold hand of ambl-
ton. And l said | would rather
have been French peasant and
worn wooden shoes. | would
rather have lived in a hut with a
vine growing over the door, and
the grapes growing purple in the
kisses of the autumn sun. |
would rather have been the poor
peasant with my loving wife by
my side, knitting as the day died
out in the sky-with my children
about my knees and their arms
about mel would rather have
been that man and gone down to
the tongueless silence of the
dreamless dust than to have been |
that imperial impersonation of
force and murder.
1t is not necessary to be great
to be happy, it is not necessary
to be rich to be just and gener-
GUS and to have a heart filled with |
divine affection. No matter
whether you are rich or poor,
treat your wife as though she
were a splendid flower, and she
will fill your life with perfume
and with joy.
And do you know, it is splen-
did thing to think that the woman
you really love will never grow
old to you. Through the wrink-
les of time, through the mask of
years, if you really love her, you
will always see the face you loved
and won. And a woman who re-
ally loves a man does not sec that
he grows old; he is not decrepit |
to her; he is not old; she always
sees the same gallant gentleman
who won her hand and heart. |
like to think of it that way; ! like
to think that love is eternal. And
to love in that way and then go
down the hill of life together and
as you go down hear, perhaps,

A CITY COLLECTOR SHORT.
CONTROLLER CoLER REPORTS A DEFAL
CATION AND ASKS FOR AN INQUIRY.

Controller Coler informed on "Wednesday that
John Clark deputy collector of city revenue, was
short in his accounts. The Controller started an
Investigation and informed the police but Clark
was not to be found in his home at No 5l Sew
enth-ave. Yesterday the Controller sent letter 10
Mayor Van wyck, informing shim of Ciarks sup
posed defalcation and stating that Clark prooaoly
had absconded with the city money he had collect
ed The Controller made the following request for
an investigation:
1t is my earnest desire that most searching
investigation made with the view Of ascertaining
whether this affair is the result in whole or IN
part Of negligence neglect of duty on the part OF
any OF Clarlx's associates superiors In the bu-
reau of Markets and whether the system OF ac-
counts I'm force in that bureau is to any degree
at fault or capable OF such Improvement as TO
promise protection in the future against dishonesty
of this character | should prefer that such an IN
vestiga ton should be made by officials in no way
subject to my control and in view of the fact that
of TIE Commissioners OF Accounts. as defined by
Section ll9 of the charter | request that you au-
thoriZe them to institute such an examination at
the earliest possible moment
The Mayor directed the Commissioners of Ac-
counts TO begin a investigation at once. Mr. Coier
said the sum taken by Clark probably did not ex-
coed 5000 Clark's bond amounts 10 $1,000. The
Controller is responsible personally for all the
money received by the Finance Department, ana
his bond Of $4,000 is intended to cover possible
defalcations The city therefore will not lose any
money by a shortage in Clark's accounts.

THE STRIKE ON THE TUNNEL WORK.

The small strike which occurred Tuesday
among the men who are employed in preparing for
the excavation Of the rapid transit tunnel Wash
tngton Heights is not disturbing L. r. McCabe
the contractor, according his statements
Seven OF the score of men who work de-
manded payment at the rate of g day instead
OF 81 35, and when this refused them they
ceased work
The impression widely exists that the contract
which was awarded to Mr.. Mcdonald by the Rapid
Transit Commissioners provides that laborers on
the subway shall receive 81 A day. This is not so
The contract provides only that the prevailing
OF wages shall be paid. Just who is 10 decide what
is the prevailing rate is not made clear.
The Rapid Transit Commission met yesterday but
transacted only routine business. General George
w. Wingate. president of the Twenty-fourth Ward
Improvement Association of Brooklyn, has ad-
dressed a letter to the Board advocating the
adoption of the Flatbush and Atlantic aves
route for the proposed interborough tunnel.
