Of lifetime, made the supreme sacri-
flee of accompanying Robeant to the
island SO as to blind the English to
the trick being played on them. For
seven years, according to Omessa,
the real Napoleon lived in Verona,
selling spectacles to British travellers.
At last the desire to again see his
only son, whom he adored (or was
1t some new political plans In that
restless brainD got the better Of his
caution. The former emperor, the
former conqueror of Europe, the hero
of the finest army the world has ever
seen, went to Vienna where his little
son was in care Of Francis H.,
Austrian emperor, who had thought
it an honor to call Napoleon son-in-
law, and was shot down like a dog
while trying to climb the wall which
divided him from his son.
Omessa, whose declarations have
created a tremendous sensation
throughout Europe, backs his state
ments with various documents.
"They are not mere materials for
a sensational historical romance" he
said. .'Neither are they published
just to annoy the English. They re-
cord: strange events, known at the
time of their happening to more than
one Frenchman, but loyalty kept se-
cret by those who worshiped their
emperor as god. These facts are
drawn from various sources. One
witness is an Englishwoman, an
other an Italian, third an Austrian
all enemies Of Napoleon who had no
| interest in believing him elsewhere
than at st. Helena"
Every man believes that reports of
his snoring are exaggerated good
deal.
When a woman finally selects her
favorite perfume she uses too much
of it.
Business is mighty institution,
but 1t isn't very good at taking care
Of itself.
A man can keep his finger nails
clean without being sissy but q boy
can't do 1t
Neither is drunkard usually as
brilliant as his friends would have
you believe
1t Is also possible for a pugilist to
look the part without winning any
championships.
If an embezzeler gets away hs has
to spend most Of his pecuiation on
travelling expenses.
If person wants to believe q thing,
1t Is surprising how much circumstan-
dal evidence Is available,

ANOTHER MEXICAN REVOLUTION
state Of oaxaea Rsfusss 70 Recognize
the Central Governments and to
All Purposes Has Seeded.

Mexico City,-The state Of Oaxaca
on Saturday formally declared that
1t does not recognize the central
government. This action was taken
by the Legislature and ratified by
Governor Benito Juarez, Jr., as a re-
suit of the refusal Of President Ma
dero to permit the federal troops to
assist the governor in s~uppressing To-
cal insurrectionists.
Crowds are said to have marched
through the streets of the town yell
ing Death to Madero and the cen.
trail government" and declaring the
people of Oaxaca would fight to the
last to maintain. the sovereignty of
the state.
To all intents and purposes Oaxaca
has seeded and placed herself in a
state Of rebellion. The federal gov
eminent. however, has not yet decid-
ell to regard it as such.
In official circles it is considered
probable that Madero will send a
commission to treat with Governor
Juarez before attempting military

opinion OF the correspondent of the
Temps. who has succeeded in joining
the Ottoman forces near Zouagher.
He ~telegraphs regarding the Turkish
side of the war, the message, which
was received Thursday, saying:
1T is certain that, after a month and
a half of war, after large expenditures
and serious losses, the Italians are no
further advanced than on the day fol-
lowing their Decentralization. If the
Turkish forces r inferior in number
to the Italians, they make up in con-
fidence what they lack in number.
Il expected to find disorder and dis
couragement. On the contrary, every
where met order, discipline and con
tentment.
Patient and ready for everything,
the Turkish soldier is accepting all
without complaint. II he suffers, he
knows 1t is for the empire of Islam,
while the Arab knows that If he dies,

BEATTIE CONFESsEs CRIME
Virginia wife Murderer Goes to the
Electric Chair With q Sheer Upon
Upon HE Lips, After Contrasting.
Copyright. 1911.

Richmond. va.-Henry Clay Beattie.
Jr., went to his death at dawn Fri
day morning, the confessed murderer
of his young wife. although the con-
fession was not made public until
four hours after he had paid the toll
exacted by the law.
He maintained to the end the re-
markable nerve he had exhibited
since first he was accused of killing
his wife last July. His last express
sion was a nee when he observed
the chair that was to launch him
into eternity.
The confession was made public in
the rotunda Of a downtown hotel by
the Rev. Benjamin Dennis, one of the
ministers who had labored with Beat
tie to repent. AS a matter Of fact,
1t was acknowledged by the minister,
Beattie first admitted his guilt No
vember 3, the day after he entered
the death cell before the fruitless ap-
peal for a communication of sentence
was made to Governor Mann. 1t was
nct until Thursday that he would
agree to its being put in writing for
his signature. Then all hope that
the governor would interfere was.
gone.
