characteristics that made her the re-
cipient Of a nations homage and love
were imbued into her nature. She had
servants to attend her every wish from
the time she was able to lisp com
mand. Her life was free from care:
there was nothing but laughter and
gaiety for the youthful Josephine. She
was really a queen before she could
talk, an empress in face before she
ever saw the shores of France.
But as she advanced in years her
life became more rufiled with the
cares and disappointments Of the
world. When but 16 years Of age she
was married to the Viscount de Beau
harnais in France. The marriage prov
ed an unhappy one and the couple
were subsequently divorced.
In 1896 she became the wife of Ma
poleon Bonaparte and until he separat-
ed himself from her to marry Maria
Louisa in 1909, she followed him in his
checkered career with unfaltering love
and devotion. BY her invariable good
ness she won the hearts Of the people
and even the admiration and esteem
of her opponents. When Napoleon di-
vOrsed her, the crowned heads Of Eu-
rope offered her protection and estates.
but she remained at her former court
Of Malmaison until death claimed her
in 1914. Her remains now rest in a
marble tomb within the church at
Rueil.

To see objects at distance OF 100
miles the observer must be standing at
a height of 6 667 feet above the level

to the square root of one and a half
times the height of the observer in feet
above the sea level, allowance being
made for the effect of atmospheric re-

very soon becomes so.

IN. SLAVERY DAYS.

49, j
Edward Everett Hale Ia his s.Mem-
ories of a Hundred Years (now being
published serially in the Outlook, and
soon to appear as book. tells the fol
lowing anecdote which illustrates very
neatly the different ways of looking at
the political and commercial aspects of
slavery in the fifties:
Mr. HenshaW was secretary of the
navy in one of the southern cabinets.
He was one of the leaders of the demo
cratic party in Massachusetts; one of
the men who kept that party conven-
iently small" so that all it's leaders
had federal offices. Mr. Henshaw was
one of the early railway men, man
of foresight enough and courage
enough to- know what modern civilf-
zation would demand. 1T was long be-
fore the war that he was in Norfolk,
Virginia, consulting with some OF the
leaders there as to the opening up of
Communication westward from their
magnificent harbor. As he rode with
one of his Virginian friends one day.
the goutherner said ssYOu abolitionists
say this or that. Henshaw dis
claimed the word. The democrats of
that time kept their garments very
clear from such stains. The Virgin
ian laughed. II know you make your
distinctions. But we call you all aboli-
tionists.'' Henshaw would not laugh.
"You are quite wrong he said. I'VE
are as fond Of our WAYS as you are of
yours We manufacture cotton and
wool and shoes and iron. We send
our ships into every 0cean. And If,
to maintain slave labor. YOU choose to
let your magnificent cataracts go to
waste, to let your coal lie unburned
and your iron unsmelted. to send your
timber to us for our purposes, and new
err to build shin in these waters,
some of us, assure YOU, are very
much obliged to- you" This was
enough, and the Virginian said in re-
ply, ''Well, Mr. Henshaw pray do not
think that we are all damned FOOLS"

evident that M. Dumont believes that
the aeronaut. like that other soarer,
the poet, is born. not made. M. Du-

me from my earliest childhood me-

chow my comrades used to tease me at
our game of Pigeon flies All the
children gather around table and the
leader calls out, Pigeon flies, hen flies,
crow flies, bee files and so on; and at
each call we were supposed to raise
our fingers. Sometimes. however, he
would call out: Dog flies. fox fiies,' or
some other like imDossibility, to catch
us. II any one should raise a finger

CATHOLICS RESOLVE
Philippine Question Brought
to Test at Chicago.
FAITH IN PRESIDENT EXPRESSED.
Sympathy Extended to the Friars
I'm Their Hour of Trial and to
the Catholics of France
Now I'm Trouble.

CHICAGO, Aug S.-The temper Of
the convention Of federated Catholic
societies relative to Archbishop Ire
lands warning not to interfere with
the Philippine question was put to the
test at the closing session. John T..
Heating, national officer of the Hi
bernians, offered a substitute resolu-
ton for those previously brought be-
fore the meeting. Mr.. Heating pro-
posed that the delegates dismiss the
friar and the Philippine school ques-
tons with an expression of satisfac-
ton with the manner in which the sub
ject is being handled by the Vatican
and the administration. This was
along the lines advised by Archbishop,
Ireland. When motion on the substi-
tute was put, there was but one at
firmative vote, and that was Mr. Keat-
ing's. The convention then adopted. the
following resolution on the subject:
We hereby express confidence that
the Hon. Theodore Roosevelt, presi-
dent of the United States, will per-
form his duty under the constitution
and laws and souf firm belief that he
will institute a rigid judicial inquiry
into any abuses by subordinate govern
ment officials in our territorial possess
sions and promptly rectify such
abuses. We are especially confident
that in his dealings with the serious
problems arising in the Philippine Is
lands property and personal rights
guaranteed by treaty, laws and consti-
tuition, will be faithfully safeguarded
and protected.
Resolved, That we extend to the fri
ars in the Philippines our fullest sym
pathy in this their hour of trial; that
we appreciate the value of their serv-
mainly; that we pledge them our sup
port as American citizens in upholding
the hands OF our government in it's de-
termination to see that they are treat
ed with that common justice that be-
longs to all who enjoy the protection
ofNthe American flag.
Resolved, That this federation con-
graduate the Vatican and the Ameri-
can government on the position at
tanned in the negotiations regarding
the questions which have arisen in the
1Aiipplurss ana We SApiSSs OuI AuiA
confidence that these negotiations will
be continued until just and amicable
solution shall be Obtained
Other resolutions regretted the pres
ent circumstances surrounding the In
dian schools and pledged active and
moral support In remedying the condi-
tions. The establishment of Catholic,
high schools wherever practicable was
advocated, sympathy was expressed
for the Catholics of France In their
present troubles and suitable recogni-
ton was taken OF the deaths Of Arch
bishops Feehan and Corrigan. sl
i Atlantic City was chosen as the
meeting place of the convention in the
third week of July, 1903.

That little discussion between the
registrars and the. board Of finance
last evening was bound to come. and it
is just as well to have Unsettled first
as last. The registrars are entitled to
their salaries, but it is better all
around that the question of pay should
be fixed, and then there can be no
further holding up Of bills. Mayor
Kilduff's remarks when he said that
the taxpayers should not be forced to
pay for the canvass of the town in or
der to get men on the voting list were
timely. He thinks that if the electors
are anxious to step up and vote they
should also. step up and register It
looks sensible on the face Of it too.
If there is any canvass of the town to
be made, for the benefit of the repub-
licans or democrats, it seems no more
than right that the parties mentioned
should pay the bills.
