WIDOW OF NAPOLEON iii.

London, May 4.-Empress Eugene,
who is spending the winter on the
Riviera, will be eighty-one years old
tomorrow. According to reliable re-
port the ex-Empress is in very poor
health and news of her demise at any
time would cause no surprise.
Born in Granada in 1926, the
daughter of Spanish noble and a
Scotch lady-the life-story of Eugsnie
is one of the most romantic and pa
thetic of modern times. In her twenty
seventh year she became the wife of
Napoleon HI, who created sensa-
ton by marrying her in spite of the
active and avowed opposition of his
ministers. For eighteen years she
presided over one of the most bril-
liant of European courts, and when
Sedan made revolution a certainty
she found asylum. with the Emperor
and the Prince Imperial, in England.
Three years later Napoleon III. died,
and the widow, to whom Queen Vic
toria became greatly attached, de-
voted herself to the education of the
son whom she fondly hoped one day
to see wearing the French crown.
The tragedy of her life was, however,
not yet complete. The young Prince,
serving as an officer in the British
army, was killed in the Zulu war of
1879 and one Of the saddest pilgrim
ages ever undertaken to South Africa
was the Empress Eugenie's visit to
the spot where her son fell.

Kansas City, Mo-, May 6.-This

cation of charges Of police corruption.
\ The probable advent in Kansas City
within the next week or so of Gov.

closures. For a long time allegations
have been made that graft was conf

been charged that it extended all the
way from the protection of petty crin,-
inals to the covering up, for a con-
sideration of the graver crimes-of
murderers and dangerous crooks
shielded and appointments made ut
the bequest Of certain factions to pay
political debts and with no considera-
ton of the fitness for office of the ap-
pointees.

SUIT AGAINST STANDARD.
Press to The Evening Times,

Nashville, Tenn. May 6.-The term
of the summer county chancery court
opening at Gallatin today, will be
rendered notable by the action to be
taken on the bill seeking to oust the
Standard Oil company from the state.
Under the rules Of the court. the de-
fendant company must plead, answer
or demur today, or the charges will
be taken as confessed. 1t is not
thought the case will be completed
before the last of the year.
The bill was filed by Attorney Cen
eral Charles T. Gates. jr., on March
16 last and alleges a violation of the
provisions of the antitrust act of
1908, recently sustained by the state
supreme court. AS basis for the
charges of conspiracy to violate the
law, the bill cites a recent decision of
the supreme court, in which it was
sought to enforce a judgment for a
fine against the oil company The
court held that the facts set forth
constituted the unlawful agreement
or conspiracy described by the statut-
es. Therefore, in order to sustain the
charges in this bill. it will be neces-
sary for the attorney general only to
prove the same facts.

ing there will result several new
rules and regulations and general
revision of the old ones.
According to the chief inspectors in

spection laws, at first considered un-
duly stringent. are now looked upon
with favor by the leading packers in
all the great centers. When the law
was put into operation about nine
months ago there were many gloomy
forecasts of failure by the opponents

Secretary Wilson still believes that
there is room for Improvement In
