brother of the great emperor, and his
mother was Princess Zenaide, grand
daughter of Joseph Bonaparte, whom
Napoleon made king of Naples and

Prince Napoleon Joseph and Clo-

Prince Napoleon Victor is forty-tive

fact that he is now the claimant to
the throne.
When Victor Imperial, the son Of
Eugene, died, it was found that he
had willed the succession to Napoleon

This glance at the Bonapartes shows
how slender is the strand which keeps
the name of the family in existence.
Save for Roland, Lucien's male issue
has died out completely, and only the
child of a great granddaughter can
perpetuate the line. Jerome has a
number of descendants, but unfortu-
nately there are no children among
them.
Thus within eighty-six years of Ma
poleon's death at St. Helena one finds
his bountiful line threatened with ex-
tinction at no very distant day.

One Of the most pathetic figures of
the present day is she when is re-
called the glories Of the second empire
when the lovely Eugenie de Montijo
came to France as a queen only to
leave the country in fight when the
tefrors of the commune placed her
regal head in danger.
The story of that fight is we'll re-
membered, for she was saved only by
the timely arrival of the American and
Italian ambassadors. who took the
frightened empress from the Tuileries
by stealth while on the outside mob
howled for her blood, to the home of
the American dentist, DR.. Thomas
Evans, who conveyed her to the sea-
coast and then to England.
After >tlie death of the emperor at
Chiselhurst and of his only son, the
Prince Imperial, at the hands of the
Zulus in Africa, Eugene retired to
Franborough, an hour and a half from
London. It was long years before she
again returned to that Paris Of bitter
memories, but she has lately visited
the French capital several times, and
made the journey for the funeral of
, Princess Mathilde, in the early days of
January, 1904.

All the surviving Bonapartes except
the dethroned empress descend from
two lines
First there are the offspring of Luz
Glen, who never accepted a throne
from his brother, and married twice
according, to his own inclinations. -.
The Bonapartes of royal pretensions
come through the line of Jerome.
Prince Roland, Bonaparte, head of
the Lucien descendants, is a grandson
of the brother of the great emperor
and a son of Prince Pierre. Like his
grandfather, Prince Roland Bonaparte
has several times refused thrones or
the chance Of succession to them, and
to-day knows only the passion. of
study.
