Il Washington.-Charles y. Bonaparte,
Of Baltimore, granddaughter of the great
Napoleon, will become secretary of the
navy when Paul Morton retires July
to become the executive head of the
New York subway. President Roose-
welt and Mr., Bonaparte, have. been
friends for many years. Mr. Bonaparte
touched elbows with President Roose-
welt when both were fighting the bat
tles)of civil service reform.
Charles Joseph Bonaparte is q
grandson of Jerome Bonaparte, king
of Westphalia, who was brother of
Napoleon 1. It does not take close
look at his face to see features that
recall the familiar pictures Of his an
cestors.
Persons who have made a study of
heredity point to his rise to prom
tnence as an example of its influence,
and that his greatness is the awaken
ing of spirit that has been dormant
in his family for time. Mr.. Bona
parte has never been conceited about
his ancestry, but has always consid-
cred himself as an Independent 1nd1-
viduality and he has positive aver
sion to being compared to his an
cestors.
Mr.. Bonaparte is an American
through and through. He cares little
for foreign travel and the places made
famous by the deeds of his ancestors
have no charm for him. He is, per-
haps, prouder of his grandmother than
of his more historical ancestors. She
was Elizabeth Patterson, daughter of
q Baltimore merchant and known as
one Of the fairest women of her time,
one Of the group of Baltimoreans that
have won wide distinction for beauty
and brilliancy.
Mr.. Bonaparte's father was never
naturalized as an American citizen

Won Buelow who was the Prussian
minister of state and secretary of state
for foreign affairs of the German en-
pire. Educated in the best schools Of
Germany, Won Buelow when of age
married Princess Maria Maporeale,
widow of Count Denhaff, who brought
him much social prestige. He has
been soldier in his time, entering the
Prussian regiment of the Royal Hus-
sars for the campaign of 1870 and
serving in the regiment as lieutenant
until 1872. From 1872 to 1873 he was
attached to the staff of the president
of the district of Metz, and in the lat
ter year entered the diplomatic service.
The foreign Office in Berlin knew him
until 1874, and he became secretary of
the legation at Rome in 1875. A year
later he was at Vienna and at st.
Petersburg. He was charge d'ahfaires
at Athens in 1877 and secretary of the
Berlin congress of 1873, ending the
Turko- Russian war.
His advancement from that time on
was rapid. He was with the embassy
at Paris for some time, went to
Bucharest and again to Rome, and
then was minister Of state and secre-
tary of foreign affairs from 1897 to
1900. :, .st -: -
In diplomatic circles Won Buelow is
regarded as German Of the Ger
mans, somewhat narrow in his opin-
ions on the affairs of the world OUT
side of Germany, but stanch imper-
ialist and advocate of the necessity of
Germany's becoming the foremost
military and naval power of Europe.

let, has run it's full course there remains
the recovery Of strength. The tonic that
will most rapidly increase the red cor
puscles in the blood is the one that will
most quickly restore color to the pale
cheeks, strength to the weak muscles,
and elasticity to the sluggish nerves. So
far nothing has ever been produced SUI
perior to DR.. Williams Pink. Pills for
this purpose.
Miss Midendorf had been Ill with
typhoid fever for fourteen weeks. She
had good physician who carried her
safely through the critical stages, When
he left, nothing remained to be done ex.
cept to build up her strength, which was
very feeble. and he gave her some pre-
scriptions for that purpose. Here, how.
ever, she met with disappointment.
II took the DOCTORS tonics, " she says,
"for two months after I had recovered
from the fever, but they did not do me
the good looked for. My strength came
back SO slowly that I scarcely seemed to
be making any progress at all. just
then read in a book thrown in our
yard some striking testimonials showing
what wonderful blood-builders and
strength givers DR.. Williams Pink Pills
are. I got box Of them soon after
this and after I had taken only about
half of them Icould see very great i'm.
provement in my condition. When I
had used up two boxes, I felt that I did
not need any more medicine. I have
remained strong ever SINCE"

liams' Pink Pills are the best remedy to
use in all cases Of weakness, from what
ever cause the system may be run down.
In cases Of debility due to overwork they
minister fresh strength and overcome
nervous symptoms. They are a specific
for anmmia or bloodlessness. They are
particularly helpful to girls on the verge
Of womanhood. They meet all the re-
quirements Of the period known as the
change Of life. They correct spring
languor. They strengthen weak diges-
ton and rouse up sluggish organs. No
other tonic combines SO many virtues.
All druggists sell them. ~

This act would have interfered with
his aspirations to recognition as / a
member of the French imperial fam
ily.~ He lived tie quiet life of gen.
tleman and cultivated literary pur-
suits. He had two sons-Jerome
Napoleon and Charles Joseph Bona
parte. The elder. Jerome, was horn
in Baltimore in 1882. He had de-
cided bent for military life, which
pleased his grandmother.
He served first in the United States
army, later as a lieutenant in the
French army. The young man dis
played great bravery at Balaklava,
Inkerman and at the siege Of Sevas-
topol he won the Crimean medal from
Queen Victoria. Until his death he
fought in tho courts of France for his
right to a place in the imperial line.
The French allowed him the title of
Prince Napoleon, but to it were at
tached no privileges, and he spent the
latter part of his life in the United
States. He died in 1893.
Mr.. Bonaparte never shared any of
his brothers ambition for noble rank,
and he had little sympathy in the con-
test. No one doubts that he is proud
er as an American citizen, with the
rank of secretary of the navy, than of
all his ancestors titles combined.
Mr.. Boneparte was born in Balti-
more, June 9, 1851. His mother was
Miss Susan May Williams, of Rox-
bury, Mass. He was graduated at
Harvard college in 1871 and at the
Harvard law school three years later.
Admitted to the bar of Maryland in
1874, he has since then practiced his
profession in Baltimore. He was mar
ried at Newport, R. l.. 1875, to Miss
Ellen Charming Day, Of Boston.
Aside from the interest that would
naturally attach to a man Of such dis
tinguished ancentry Mr.. Bonaparte has
a very distinct personality of his own
that in any event would have attracted
attention to him. ~,... !.
:: He is speaker of great force, and
his telling smile is fitting accom-
paniment to his piercing sarcasm and
punctuates his epigrams. ,,
It was the prominence he gained as
the head of the Baltimore reformers
that attracted the attention of Presi-
dent Roosevelt. ~.
He is of refined, simple tastes. His
city home Is comfortably but not lavish
~ or extensively furnished. He pos
sesses many rare relics, the greater
part of which, are at his country
hcme, Belle Vista, in the Long Green
valley, between Towson and Belair.
He owns several other estates in
Maryland, but it is here that he now
spends much Of the year. He takes
great interest In farming and has.
large force Of workmen employed. He
Is a regular churchman and attends
the cathedral nearly every Sunday.
About two years ago he was the re-
cipient of the Laetare medal, conferred
each year by the University Of Notre
Dame on some leading Catholic lay
man. -
