Though engrossed in the active prac

always taken a dep interest in poll
tics an dbeen an influential leader in
politics in New Hanover county. He
enjoys the disticntion Of being perhaps
the-only member of the present Senate

bake up the Eleventh district. Mr..
Empie was chairman of the Library

larly interested in the establishment
of a reformatory, having investigated
and studied that question both from a
humane standpoint and from the
standpoint of necessity because OF con.

He took strong ground against any
further extention of hte Watts Law
or any additional temperance Iegis1a-

as far in the line of temperance legis-

or was wise. Mr.. Empie was for

The Bonaparte Who'll Rule the Navy
Sketches of the Newest Member Of Pres.
ident RooseUeit's Cabinet

| a visit to the Napoleon Room at the residence
OF Mr.. Bonaparte in Baltimore is a treat.
In the home Of Mr.. Bonaparte one finds
himself in a Napoleonic atmosphere.
AS one enters the room the eye first falls
upon marble bust OF the Emperor by
Henri Frederick Iselin. It was cut from q
marble from q plaster cast modelled from
life In Cairo, Egypt. by Louis Corbet.
The marble bust was cut in 1859. and came
at that time into the possession Of Jerome
Napoleon Bonaparte, the son Of Jerome
Bonaparte, at one time King Of Westphalia
and grandfather Of the present Mr.. Bona
parte and the man who married Miss Eliza
both Patterson, Of Baltimore.
Tho bust represents Napoleon In tho
uniform Of General Of the French Republic.
The pose Is natural and graceful. To ono
side is another and a smaller bust, IN which
Napoleon appears In the garb Of tho First
Consul.
In another part Of the room, sde by dde,
are tho marble busts Of Charles Bonaparte
and Letida Bonaparte. the father and
mother Of the Emperor. These busts
are by Canova, and were presented to Mr..
BonaParte's mother by James Bonaparts
during his residence at Bordentown.
A portrait Of Miss Patterson. grand
mother Of Mr.. Bonaparte, painted In 1925,
by Mascot, at Geneva. Switzerland, also
attracts attention. In this por RAFT Miss
Patterson appears much younger than she
was at the time-about 40. There is also
painting Of her by Kinson. made about
ten years prior to the Massot portrait.
and in another part Of the room a orayon
Of her by Stewart is a triphcate portrait
on one canvas showing the head from three
different points Of view.
To one side is fine portrait Of tho Empress
Eugene. and close by a number Of beauti-
fully xecuted miniatures OF various mem
ers Of the Bonaparte family.
A portrait by May. an American artist,
painted abo t 1863, shows Jerome Bona
parte, father Of MIR. Bonaparte, as captain
OF carabinees. Another painting shows
him in the West Point cadet uniform.
There are also many objects Of interest.
One is breech loading, double barreled
fowling piece. given by Mr.. Bonaparte's
grandfather to Mr.. Bonaparte's father,
in 1854.
There is also . pair OF holster pistols,
which belonged to the Duke Of Brunswick,
killed at Quatre Bras, two days prior to
the Battle of Waterloo. The pistols were
given to Mr.. Bonaparte's grandfather,
who was in command of division Of the
French army during the Waterloo cam-
paign.
