FoBS WORN BY NAPOLEON.
Relics Of the Saracen Which Dangled
From His Chain Now in America.

From the phllanefpnia Record.
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. Pa, a native OF
France. and once a practitioner in his ma
tive land.
These relics of Napoleon consist of two
watch charms, both very curiously wrought.
One is a lions tooth, incased in a pencil
shaped holder of silver delicately wrought
and containing a ruby at the top to be used
as a seal, in accordance with the custom
of the ornetals, the whole design being OF
Asiatic type. The other ornament is
watch key riveted upon a tablet Of mother
of-pearl, with silver trimmings very deli
vately engraved and fringed with fieur-
de-lis.
Experts who have examined the relics be-
leve them to date back to the days OF
the Saracen and his great conflict, and Ma
poleon Is said to have come into possession
of the charms while engaged in his Egyp-
tan campaigns. However, they dangied
from his watch chain at Marengo and Aus
terltz, and he still wore them when he en-
tered Vienna as a conqueror In his mem
orable campaign of 1909.
In the battle in which the Archduke
Charles was defeated at Eckmuhi. Hun
garian officer of the family of Zsemberg
was captured and sentenced to be shot
on the charge that he was a spy. The
allegation was indignantly denied, and
the officer appealed to Bonaparte. asking
his captors to decide whether or not
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
emperor. The story Of the Zsemberg
was heard with interest by the great
Frenchman, who was SO struck with the
defense that he declared at once that the
sentence was unjust
Taking his watch, chain and charms from
his person, Napoleon presented them to the
Hungarian officer as token of good VIII
and in amelioration 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 sub
sequently became residents of France.
Count Zsemberg. a grandson of the re-
cipient of the gift, now an old man, came
into the ownership of the relics upon the
death of his father. He and DR.. Ullman
were warm friends during the residence of
the physician in his native land and be-
fore the latter sailed for America the
charms were presented to the doctor as a
token of friendship.
No offer has ever tempted DR.. Ullman
to part with these historic ornaments.
which he guards with Jealous care and ex-
hibits to but few people, and never TO
strangers.
There are many ancient eurtos In the
Ulman residence in the center of the city.
among them a silver fruit dish OF delicate
four centuries, and a spice box. which
looks like a miniature trunk, made in the
days of Francis II, who reigned in the six
teenth century.

Will Mankind Die Of Thirst
From the Chicago Inter Ocean.

from the Chicago Inter Ocean
Scientists are able to point out various
tendencies and movements on the part of
the planet earth and its people which may
result In the destruction of human life by
cvercrowding, starvation, cold, heat or
thirst. For centuries Biblical students,
starting from the promise of Noah that
mankind would not again be swept away
by flood. derived from other texts the
opinion that the "end OF the world would
be by fire. The largest collection of facts
bearing on the point is probably in the
works of Prince Kropotkin, and relate to
the Russian empire and some of Its Asiatic
neighbors.
Explorations in central Asia have showD
beyond question that vast areas now desert
were once fertile. Lakes and rivers which
within historic times were important factors
in commerce have disappeared or are dis
appearing. The Siberian lakes have shrunk

AUTOMOBILE LAMPS.
Police Court Judge Passes Upon Their
Size and Location.

Judge o'Neal was called upon this morn
ing to describe a suitable lamp for an auto
mobile. The question came up in the case
of Arthur Chaplin, who was stopped by
Sergeant Headley. charged with a violation
of law. The testimony showed that Mr..
Chaplin had bicycle lamp on his machine,
and the sergeant thought this was not
suitable lamp. Judge O'Neal agreed that
the bicycle lamp was not suitable for an
automobile. and fined Mr.. Chaplin s..
In considering this and other automobile
cases in court today. Judge O'Neal stated
that the automobile regulations are too
vague and needed amendment to make
them and their Interpretation clear. In
his opinion, they should be more definite.
In the case of John Richards. arrested
on Pennsylvania avenue by Officer White
of the first precinct. the testimony was
that the lamp at the rear was higher than
the number. and therefore the number
was not lighted up at night at all Judge
O'Neal held that the lamp should be on
line with the number and throw Its light
on the number. The law was not specific
on this point, but Judge ONeal took this
view of the situation and held that the
number should be made visible by the
light at night.
The fine on Mr.. Richards was the lowest,
s., which was paid.

Unparalleled Prosperity.
rom the New York Financier.


Almost never before in our history has
this country been in more advantageous
position politically. financially and COM
mercially than it is this year. The restora-
ton of peace in the orient has been due
largely to the interposition of the good Of
fees Of our government; for this the
lately warning nations appear profound
ly grateful, and because OF this our coun-
try has taken front rank, politically, among
the powers of the world. Our strict OBJ
seryance of neutrality during the contest
has won the enthusiaStic commendatior of
both contestants and contributed to still
more firmly cement the ties of friendship
which have so long lasted.
Our marvellous Industrial development
has placed US in a position where we can
successfully compete with European man.
ufacturers In business incident to the re-
pair by Russia, at least, of the rayages
of the war. and, moreover, the attitude
of Russia's chief plenipotentiary, on the
conclusion of peace, would seem to fndi-
cate that his influence will be actively
exerted for the promotion of ouor indus
trial and commercial enterprises. Not
only in Europe. but in the orient, the field
for our activities has been broadened as
never before. and the possibilities of trade
expansion are of magnitude almost beyond
conception. Unexampled prosperity seems
now to be clearly within our reach, and
that it will be realized appears to be de-
pendent upon our ability to grasp this op-
portunity.

CLASH IN CARTER CASE
EFFORT OF GOVERNMENT TO IN
TRoDUCE CERTAIN EVIDENCE.

part Of the government attorneys to in

late Robert F. westcott. father-in-law of
Capt. o. NJ Carter. given at the Gaynor

he tell the truth?" asked Attorney Erwin.
He did not. because did not loan him
$4,000 in January, 1885 said Capt. Car
ter. "If Re gave that testimony In New
York he testified falsely"
At this point Attorney Stone interposed
on behalf of Carter a vigorous objection to
this line of questioning.
Il object to having read into this case
evidence of a man who is now dead be-
cause my client was not present when the
alleged testimony was given and was not
given an opportunity to cross examine the
witness" said Attorney Stone.

factS, replied Attorney Erwin, VINO rep
