Circuit Court today for his first citizen
ship papers. He has been a cook on the
United States training ship Lancaster at
anchor here. She is now under orders to
go to Port Royal. s. c., and he cannot go
on a voyage on her without first papers.
Hamanoto was accompanied by two sub
ordinate officers of the Lancaster. one of
whom said that as Captain Mansfield
had TO have cook. and as Hamanato
was the only man in the world who could
cook TO suit the captain. the sailing of
the Lancaster was practically dependent

The Real Napoleon.

For two generations at least the char
acter of Napoleon has been one of the
mysteries of history, to the average
man. The popular biographies of him
have been misleading, especially as re-
CARDS his domestic life and private
character In Miss Ida NJ. Tarbelrs re-
Gently published book on Napoleon and
Josephine, however, we seem at last
TO have gotten a popular history which
is also accurate. The work bears The
stamp of realism.
II is impossible, perhaps, for anyone
TO appreciate. with the imperfect data
at command. and at a distance of more
than three-q quarters of a century, the
character Of the man. A genius so tow
ering and 50 wholly unprecedented
must necessarily remain to some extent
an enigma. Put from Miss Tarbelrs
book, the memoirs Of the Baron de
Mepeval, who was as close to him as
anyone, Lord Rosebery's recent work
on Napoleon at st. Helena, and other
monographs. one may at least get fair
idea OF his character. and know him
better, it may be, than the men of his
own time did.
The popular impression Of Napoleon
in this country has been largely due to
some industriously circulated reports of
the character Of Josephine and the rea-
sons for the divorce. II is safe to say
that the efforts which were at one time
so persistently made TO establish jose
phine as a saint and a martyr in the
eyes Of the people. were in this country
so far successful that the Emperor has
generally been regarded as thoroughly
selfish man. ready TO sacrifice TO his
personal ambition the wife who had
married him in the days of his OBJ
security, and who had then and always

The Grant statue.

| 10 TIE EDITOR OF THE TIMES: In an
article in your paper of yesterday you
advocate the removal of the statue of
Admiral Dupont, which. as you well say,
| has no particular artistic merit, to some
place not so conspicuous and further sug
gest replacing it by one of the illustri-
! GUS soldier. President Grant. a suggestion
| that | feel sure would meet with the
hearty approval of the general public.
There is grass plot right opposite the
| old Blaine house. and the other side OF the
road from the circle. to which the statue
of Admiral Dupont could be easily moved
and the name of the circle remain. UNI

1t certainly does seem ridiculous to side
track the principal representative of the
victorious armies of the great civil war
To an obscure position. while his subordi-
mates and others of less distinction oc-
cupy conspicuous points and interest but
very few persons
Therefore. ! earnestly hope that the ex-
cellent suggestion Of The Times will be
accepted and that statue of the Man
of Appomattox will he placed as 1t should
have been long ago, in a position COM

10 TIE F,pIToTs OF THE TINES: Your sug-
gestion to transplant the statue of Admit
raj Dupont from its present position to
some other location of the city and In lis
place TO put statue of General Grant. is.
perhaps the desire OF many of the citi--
zens of this city. But the writer would
like to know why the hero of Appomat-
tox should not be entitled to a position
better than the one proposed. and would
respectfully suggest n site directly in
front of the White House. This would
seem to be the more appropriate place
inasmuch as an appreciative people twice
elected him to the Presidency, and as he
occupied the mite House for eight
years. they certainly would be pleased to
have his statue there.
As The Times states all the best sites
of the city have been given over to heroes
of a lesser degree. and as this is surely
the best site. why not give 1t to the,
greatest hero OF them all. and let Dupont
remain In the circle named after him?

TWENTY CENTS A DAY

of the sheriff's bill, and seems to
object to the charge for the mum
her of vagrants committed by the
mayor OF New Castle. If there
Is no legal authority for paying
these bills, any taxpayer can go
into the courts and prevent it.
We think the contention is weak
ened by objection to an allowance
of twenty cents day for board.
we doubt whether one could
make money at feeding dogs at
that rate. AS a matter of fact,
fhe sheriff's allowance for that
item should be higher. Allowing
Ave cents q day for service to
each prisoner, the meals would
average five cents each. 1t is
;mnossible to make anything al
that rate. In Kent, the sheriff
