TALKED WITH GREAT EMPEROR.
Belgian Woman Remembers Converse
tlon with Napoleon.

There is still living in the village OF
Ligny, Belgium, woman who spoke,
with the great Napoleon on the day Of
the battle-June 16, 1S15-at that.
place.
Her name is Nine. Anne-Josephe,
Rubay, says the London Daily Graphic,
and she will reach her one hundredi
and second birthday on July 29. Her.
memory is still perfectly clear as TO.
the incident. Napoleon had .estab-.
lished his quarters close to the little.
farm where she and her mother we're,
alone. Her parents had buried their.
little stock of money and valuables.
In the ground, and in the morning the.
emperor came out and took up his po-.
sition close to the spot. Fearing that:
ne might discover the hiding place,
the farmers wife, to distract his at.
tention, took her head in both hands,
and pretended to be suffering from,
toothache.
This attracted the emperor's atten-.
ton, and coming over to the woman.
ne told her not to be afraid, but added.
that as the battle was about to be,
fought, she should betake herself and
her little girl to place of safety. He,
then turned to the little Anne-Jo-
sephe, and, patting her on her cheeks.
told her to be "a good little girl andr
take care of her mother"
=. Encouraged by his kindness, the.
farmers wife told the emperor that.
her brother had served in onesof hiss
dragon regiments, but had not heeA
heard OF for several years. On ascer-
tanning the name Of the regiment Ma
poleon replied that it was one or
those that had suffered most during.
the retreat from Russia, but he would
have inquiries made. He then told,
them to hurry off into the forest Of
Sombreffe until the fighting was over.
Nine. Rubay has perfect recollection,
OF the emperor's appearance, and de-.
scribes him as "a little man with q.
big nose"
She also remembers the scene Of
destruction and slaughter presented
by the village when they returned tho
next day. She describes the French.
%oldiers as fine fellows" but her rec
objection of the Prussians is not so IA
vorable, for they ate up all our chick
ems and our two calves without paying
for them"

prlsonment Of Rebaters and vio-
Iators of Antitrust Laws.

Columbus, O.-William H. Taft,

saith" at Memorial hall last night.
The auditorium, which has seat.
Ing capacity of,5,000, was packed to
the doors and several thousand peo.
pie who came to hear the secretary
speak were unable to gain admit
tance. The secretary spoke under the
auspices of the Buckeye Republican

from the fact that 1t Is regarded as
the platform upon which he will make
his campaign for the republican nomi
nation for president
Mr. Taft made no formal announce
ment Of his candidacy, but he was in
troduced by Gov. Harris as the next
president of the United States"
which was the signal for a prolonged
outburst OF applause.
Special interest was manifested in
Secretary Taft's utterances on the
tariff He reiterated his repeated
declaration in favor of revision and
said 1t would be both unwise and un-
safe for the republican party to fail

tial election as possible.
Mr.. Taft also declared in favor of
Imprisonment of individuals RESPONSE
BILE for violations of the antitrust

STRIKE OF TELEeRAPHERs.

STRIKE OF TElEGRAPHERS.
President s. j. Smalrs order for
general strike of commercial teleg-
raphers did not seem to meet with the
response the union officials had ex-
pected. In Chicago the additions to
the strikers forces were few, and In
New York the order had little appar-
ent effect on the situation. The
strikers said nearly all union men
were out already. President Small
said fund of 100000 would be
raised within two months. After he
and Samuel Gompers had conferred
the talk of arbitration was revived.
President S. j. Small, of the Com
mencial Telegraphers' union, arrived
in Chicago, conferred with Samuel
Gompers and other leaders and then
issued a general strike order calling
out all commercial operators not
working under union contracts. IL
was decided that the railway teleg-
raphers should not strike.
Commercial Telegraphers' union sent
a warning to all boards of trade and
commercial bodies to adjust their al
fairs in preparation for general walk
out. President Roosevelt would not
interfere in the strike, referring num-
erous appeals to Labor Commissioner
Nein. The operators employed by Ar
mour & Co. at Chicago and in the
Union Stock yards at East st. Louis
quit their keys
