NAPoLEoN's FLAG IS FOUND.
Great Warriors Invention Exhibited
at Paris Army Museum.

Paris, Nov. Is. = Lord Archibald
Campbell has presented to the Army
museum here a curious relic of Ma

latter flew in the Isle of Elba during
his captivity there.
General Niox, custodian of the muse.

vented by Napoleon, although some
say that it was in part suggested by
that of Cosmo del Medici, former
sovereign of the island, is rather a
strange standard. 1t is square, white
and fringed with gold, bearing three
golden bees and a diagonal scarlet
stripe. The staff carries white and
scarlet scarf, having also three golden
bees.
Napoleon does not seem to have used
the flag he invented elsewhere than in
the Isle of Elba, where he was a de.
throned and captive monarch.

WRITER IS RoBBER.
Prominent Church Worker Makes Re-
markable Confession.

Los Angeles, Nov. 13.-A confession
which officers at the sheriff's Office con-
slider the most remarkable one that ever
came to their notice was made today to
Sheriff Hammill by Robert Perry, a
young church worker and writer of sa-
cred songs, who was arrested several
days ago for theft of motorcycle
Perry confesses not only to the theft
of the motorcycle, but also to the theft
of II horses and buggies, and says that
all of the money he obtained from the
sale of the stolen vehicles aggregated
several thousand dollars, and had been
spent at gambling.
Perry tells the sheriffs the probable
whereabouts of one very valuable horse
which he says he stole, and which the
sheriff has been searching for for sew
oral weeks. The remarkable confession
ends with prayer to God to aid the
sheriff to recover the stolen property
and return it to the rightful owners.

ing ground in other industries, espe-
cially in that of brewers. There is
every reason to believe that the de.
preston will become more acute within
the next few months, and that the
Reichstag will be called upon to vote
for a further sum for the relief of the
worthless factory hands, as the 100000
pounds sterling already voted for this
purpose is quite insufficient.
The brewers having put up the price
of beer in consequence of the new
taxes, the result has been a consider
able decrease in the consumption, ag
gravated by boycott organized by
the Social Democrats. AS a result OF
this, workmen have been discharged
and if the boycott continues the mum
ber of dismissed hands will increase
In August the average number of ap
plicants for hundred open situations
in the brewing trade was 3OS higher
than in any other industry. In Wur-
temberg the number of applicants
showed the maximum of 1856.

Coal Shaft at Cherry, Ill, Scene O
Terrible Disaster.

Cherry, H., Nov. 15.-At least 25C
miners were killed here Saturday, in
one of the worst mine disasters of his
tory. The st. Paul Coal company 3
mine, owned by the Chicago, Milwau
kee & st. Paul railroad, is the scene
of the horrible disaster.
Figures differ as to the number OF
men in the mine at the time of the
fire. Officials of the company insist
that the list of fatalities may not
reach 250, but the miners say that
over 400 workmen were in the mine
when the fire started and that few
had opportunity to escape.
Fire started from a pile of hay into
which miner is believed to have
thrown Il torch. Flames quickly spread
to the timbers and in a few minutes

miners had retreated to the further.

might huddle together, gasping what
little oxygen remained in the sealed

rescuers might reach them before it
was exhaused. The most hopeful of
those seeking to aid the men doubt
that many will be found alive.
The only men to escape were those
near the main shaft when the fire
started. They declared a careless
miner had thrown torch on a bundle
of hay used to feed the mine mules
In few minutes the smouldering mass
was placed on cart and started
toward the main Shaft about $50 feet
away. Before it was reached a small
explosion occurred and in few mo.
ments the entrance was filed with
smoke and flames. Those nearest the
cages hurried to them and were hoisted
to the surface. After four trips the
cages ceased moving and no more
miners came up.
