COULD NOT HOLD NAPOLEON
In the Disguise Of q Workman Future
Emperor Passed Guard at For
tress Of Ham.

In discussing the origin Of Louis Ma
poleon's nickname Of "Badlnguet"
some details were given incidentally
Of his escape from the fortress Of Ham
In northern France on May rs, 1S46.
Fuller details are now available,
thanks to the researches Of M. Thir-
ria, and in view Of the escape Of Capt.
Lux they have q special interest at
the present moment.
Il seems that the sole credit for the
escape must lie with Louis Napoleon
himself. He made his valet, Thelin,
buy q black wig, some rouge, q cap
which was scrubbed with pumice stone
and pair Of sabots. Then he cut on
his mustache, put on a blue apron, a
blue pair Of trousers and q close Mt
ting shirt Of coarse stun.
Some workmen were carrying out
some repairs to that part Of the for
tress where the prince lodged and this
gave color to his disguise, so much so
that the two watchmen entertained no
suspicious regarding the man who
walked past them and out at the great
gate, q pipe in his mouth and plank
on his shoulder. The sergeant on duty
at the drawbridge was reading a let
ter as he passed and took no notice
Of him. It was then 5 o'clock In the
morning.
Four times that day, the last time
at 8 in the afternoon, did the Govern
or, Demarle, send for the prince. Each
time DR.. Conneau replied that the pris-
oner could not see anybody because
he had taken medicine. When at last
the governor lost patience and went
himself to the princes room and
walked up to the bed on which the
supposed invalid was lying he discov-
cred that q very presentable dummy
had taken the place Of Louis Napoleon.
The discovery was made too late. BY
that time the fugitive was over the
Belgian frontier.

CHURCHMAN PARTY TO FRAUD
AZ Least, Eeeleslastle Thought %
=. When Told Emerald Was Only
an Imitation.

Bishop Johnson Of South Dakota
tells this story Of himself:
II was dining one night beside q
man Of whom ! had never heard be-
fore. ! soon discovered that he was
quick witted and later was also TO
discover that he was q jewelry expert.
I was wearing an emerald ring which
! prize very highly for its history a.
well as for its beauty.
"'Will you let me see your ring3'
he asked.
II gladly passed the trinket to him;
he examined It critically, and then 70
turned It, saying:
att IL the best imitation emerald ]
ever saw
II was startled. I told him that II
was genuine and had been used IN
England by churchmen for 200 years,
and that It had always been conSid'
cred q fawless gem.
Nevertheless he replied, 1t r. an
imitation emerald
Some time later met an expert
in gems in New York, showed him
the ring and asked his opinion Of 1t.
The man looked at It and told me
that It was an imitation.
at have reproached myself for hGV'
ing told you,' he remarked.
"T'm glad you did tell me- / replied.
Else might have transmitted lie
to posterity.'
"'You surely would have been IN
good company in doing that said he
and the incident was at an end."-The
World Today.

Decline Of Repentance.

Repentance-once 80 universally
practiced at this season Of the year.
as well as on birthdays, and some
times on Sundays-is rapidly bOcom'
ing one Of the obsolete virtues. Even
novellsts seem to have grown tired OF
the "wabbling" heroine, the lady who
plunged into exotic sins one day and
betook herself (metaphorically) to .
nunnery the next, only to Join the
army Of backsliders with greater Sest
than ever as soon as her at Of peni'
tence was over. Despite copybook
maxims warning the unwary Of the
futilIty Of indulging in lAmentAtion
over split milk, repentance has hour
ishNd exceedingly, and women espe'
cially have hitherto always manifest
ed q strong bias in that direction.
Repentance needs leisure, and that
may be why It IL gradually going out
Of fashion. People have no time to
look backwards, and, moreover, they
are now realizing the futility Of doing
80. Like Omar Khayyam, they under
stand that no one can rub out what
the moving Finger has written, and
that tears are powerless to undo what
has once been done.-ExchangN

IS FACING CHARGES
H. Eschenfelder Suspected
by Police of Several
Grimes.

Herbert Eschenfelder, sent down to
the county Jail some time ago for
stealing brass from the Empire foun-
dry, will have other charges to face
when he is released. He has been i'm
plicated in an alleged burglary of a
home east of the city. He is also sus-
pected of having had part in some box
car robberies which have been giving
the railroad detectives trouble for
some time. He stated to Pennsylvania
detectives that another man whose
name is withheld, was the guilty par
ty. The other man was brought to the
Jail yesterday and gave a good alibi.
Eschenfelder then admitted that he
had lied. He is known to have been
implicated in a number of robberies
and is giving out information in short
statements issued at intervals The po-
lice are confident they can fasten a
number of crimes upon him. Several
charges will be placed against him
when he is released from serving the
sentence recently imposd upon him,
He received S25 and costs and thirty
days in Jail at this time, laying out the
entire fine.

FIND NEW CLEW IN
MYSTERIOUS CASE
Identity of Man Who Killed
Himself in Minneapolis
May Be Solved.

Another clue as to the identity of
the man who committed suicide at
Minneapolis, March 2, was obtained
here today. In a letter to the Second
National bank a picture of the dead
man was inclosed. 1t was placed on
the Palladium bulletin board at the
Engelbert cigar store. Albert Ellenger
stopping to look at the picture recog-
nized it as the man who loafed at the
cigar store about eighteen days ago.
Roy o. Peck, clerk at the cigar store,
also recognized the men.
The description of the body of the
suicide, enclosed with the letter asking
aid in identifying the man, was shown
to the clerk and it conceded perfectly
with the man seen here.
O. G. Yates, contractor, had quite a
lengthy argument with the stranger
at the Engelbert cigar store on the
same day, and stated that the man
said his name was Lee. On the sui
cide's shirt was the laundry mark,
Lee" Yates description of the man
tailed perfectly with the photograph.
He said he could not learn the mans
business or where he lived.
After the argument with Yates the
man left the cirgar store and after an
alteration with another man was ar
rested by Officer Hebble. However, an
investigation of the records at the city
building shows that no one by the
name of Lee was arrested
The clue, uncovered some time ago,
that Oliver Lee, who registered at the
Westcott hotel, might be the suicide,
has proven of no value. This man was
traced to Cumberland Md, where he
was registered at a hotel on March 90.
The unknown suicided March 90

The tremendous growth in popular

posed by President James y. Jackson

main fair building and auditorium all
in one. When not used as a place
to exhibit agriculture, horticulture,
mechanical devices, ETC., during
fair, the building will be used for con-
venticn purposes and will have a
much larger seating capacity than
any other building in this city or
section.
Among the many improvements
being made is handsome new en-
