FOES WORN BY NAPOLEON.

Relics of the Saracen Which Dangled
 from his Chain Now in America.
 The French government is paying goodly prices for relics of Emperor Napoleon I, but there are two articles once owned by the great Bonaparte
 that thus far agents of the republic over the seas have not been able to secure. They are owned by Dr. Gyula Ullman, of Chester Penn, native of France. and once practitioner in his native land.
 These relics of Napoleon consist of two watch charms, both very curious
 ly wrought. One is a lions tooth, in-
 cased in a pencil shaped holder of silver, delicately wrought and contain ing ruby at the top to be used as
 seal, in accordance with the custom of the Orientals, the whole design being of Asiatic type. The other ornament is watch key riveted upon tablet of
 mother-of-pearl, with silver trimmings very delicately engraved and fringed with feur de lis.
 Experts who have examined the relic
 believe them to date back to the days
 of the Saracen and his great conflict,
 and Napoleon is said to have come in-
 to possession of the charms while en-
 gagged in his Egyptian campaigns. However, they dangIed from his
 watch chain at Marengo and Auster-
 litz, and he still wore them when he entered Vienna as conquer or in his memorable campaign of 1909.
 In the battle in which the Archduke Charles was defeated, at Eckmuhi a
 Hungarian officer of the family of Zsemberg was captured and sentenced
 to be shot on the charge that he was spy. The allegation was indignantly denied, and the officer appealed to
 Bonaparte, asking his captors to de- eide whether or not a prisoner taken in battle could be thus dishonorably
 dispatched. Napoleon was in Vienna, and thither the prisoner was escorted into the presence of the French Elm
 peror The story of the Zsemberg was heard with interest by the great
 Frenchman, who was so struck with
 the defence that he declared at once | that the sentence was unjust.
 l Taking his watch, chain and charms from his person, Napoleon presented them to the Hungarian officer as a token of good will and inamelioration of the indignity that had been offered
 by the French troops. The officer was
 dismissed on parole. The act of the
 French Emperor greatly touched the noble Hungarian, and his family sun- sequently became residents of France. | Count Zsemburg, a grandson of the recipient of the gift. now an old man, came into the ownership of the relics upon the death of his father. He and l Dr. Ullman were warm friends during
 the residence of the physician in his native land, and before the later sailed i for America the charms were presented
 to the doctor as a token of friendship. No offer has ever tempted Dr. Ullman l to part with these historic ornaments,
 which he guards with jealous care
 and exhibits to but few people, and never to strangers.
 There are many ancient curios in the UlIman residence, in the centre of the city, among them a silver fruit dish delicate lacquer work, which bear the I weight of four centuries, and a spice box, which looks like miniature | trunk, made in the days of Francis 1T, who resigned in the sixteenth cen- tllry.-Philadelphia Record.
