MERELY A VARIETY OF GUM
Nothing Wonderful About the Produo-
tIon Of FrankIncense to Those
Who Deal In It.

sta|.
Frankincense is a variety Of gum
that frequently forms a component of
incense, but the term Is not met with
In commerce, to which incense means
a gum that exudes from a tree flour.
ishing in considerable quantities in
British Somaliland and elsewhere.
There is an inferior gum of this kind
that grows In India and other coun.
tries of the east.
The incense tree seldom attains q
height exceeding lis feet. 1t presents
a thorny and unsightly growth and
thrives in desert regions. Dealers
grade incense according to color
bright yellow, medium and dark yel

to>be Alden, whence it is taken by So
malls during the winter months

NAPOLEON III. in AMERICA.
zeal Louis Was Not as Dilapidated az
He Has Hsen Pictured by
Mark Twain.

Probably no written portrait OF the
third Napoleon is better known to
Americans than that embodied In the
rhetorical a%postrophe of Mark Twain
in The Innocents Abroad" where he
contrasts the emperor Of the French
and the sultan OF Turkey at their
meeting In Paris in 1867. II was
thought very fine and stirring at the
time, but it Is a picture to provoke
curiosity and amusement today. Mark
Twain described how the future en-
peror carried his dreams with him
into exile, how he associated with the
common herd In America, and ran foot
races for a wager, how he walked his
weary beat, a common policeman of
London. That he carried his dreams
into exile, that his belief in his star
never wavered, Is un~questionably true.
But 1t is not quite SO romantic a
figure, not such a dilapidated a Louis
Napoleon, that we see in the accounts
of more careful historians than Mark
Twain. For example, there is Init
mate Memoirs Of Napoleon III" by the
late Baron d'Ambes. D'Ambes was not
with Louis Napoleon in America, but
1t was from the princes OWL lips that
he claimed he received the impress
sions Of that visit. Louis Napoleon
came to Norfolk, Va. from Rio de
~Janeiro on the frigate Andromede.
The commander, Henri de Villeneuve,
was very kind to the exile, and the
prince thanked him with the words
You are obliging a man who will one
day be emperor Of the French, I'M
fortunate as he may appear at pres.
cent. I shall not forget you" The
Andromede arrived at Norfolk March
30, 1887. The prince proceeded
straight to New York and dined al
Gen. Watson Webb's, where he found
General Scott, his two brothers-in-law
the Stewards, and a number of sena
tors and statesmen.

TWO Systems Compared.

A government, says a writer in the
Twentieth Century Magazine. which
tells you how to carry your umbrella,
which forbids ladies who wear long
hatpins to enter railway trains, which
fines you if you throw cigar stubs or
papers on the street, which does not
permit your children to make a noise
SO that others are disturbed-such a
government does restrict individual
liberty. but Just as certainly it en-
larges the common liberties and pleas
ure Of everybody. The government
thus eulogized is that Of Germany,
which the writer quoted prefers to our
ago-as-Ten-pleases system.

Value 81 Travel.

Goethe says that no man has .
right to write until he has Travelled
and lived. Certainly no one has a
right to think he knows what life
offers or what earth can give until he
travels.
Travel does more toward letting us
go free Of our human limitations than
anything else In life. It frees Jus by
giving US large Views. a wide sense
OF opportunity, q fuller comprehension
OF the lavish hand which has strewn
beauty over the earth.
Above all travel numbs grief be-
It lifts us from the personal In

SUPREME COURT ORDERS RETRIAL
 OF TAXI SUITS

New Haven, July 81.-It is expected that the decision handed down by the supreme court of errors yesterday af- ternoon in the cases of Harry N. Hughes and Mabel B. Hughes of this city against the New Haven Taxicab company, in which error was found in the action of Judge William l.. Ben nett in granting non-suit and new trial ordered, will establish an impor- tant precedent in automobile cases.
 These two suits, for a. total of $8 ,00O, were brought as a, result of acci- dent in Milford last year. The auto mobile, which belonged to Harry N. Hughes. was being driven by his daughter, Mabel D. Hughes. As it was going over a narrow bridge, a. taxicab of the New Haven Taxicab company tried to pass it. The Hughes car was either struck by the taxicab or Miss Hughes became excited, for the car swerved and went through the rail of the bridge and over into the brook. The automobile was badly damaged, and Miss Hughes was seriously in Jured.
 When the suits were tried before Judge William L. Bennett, Lawyers Zacher & Ely, who represented the taxicab company, asked for a. non-suit and Judge Bennett granted the mo- ton. Miss Hughes, who was driving the car, was under age and did not have a drivers license. The chauffeur was sitting in the back seat Judge Bennett held that the fact that the chauffeur was sitting in the back seat and not on the front seat with Miss Hughes was negligence, a, violation in fact of the law which provides that when a person, not a licensed driver, is operating an automobile, a, licensed chauffeur must be with 1hem-
 Lawyer Jacob P. Goodha,rt of Stod- dard, Goodhart and Stoddard,. who rep resented the plaintiffs, argued before the supreme court that all necessary precautions for safety were taken when the chauffeur was in such a. place as to give advice and directions.
 It is said that this is the first time this point has ever been before the su- preme court.

ample time to join the automobile par ty. In event of bad weather, the en- tire party will go by train. The re- ception at the brew house will begin at o'clock. It is anticipated that many hundreds in addition to the Bridgeport delegation will be on hand. Col. Ruppert will be assisted by his entire staff and out of town managers in receiving the guests and arranging g for their tour of inspection through the extensive plant.
 The completion of the new brew house is the crowning event in the up building Of the great Ruppert plant. Already the largest establishment of the kind east of the Mississippi river, the brewery, with its latest enlarge ment, now ranks among the greatest in the world, and bears irrefutable tes- timony to the industry and persever- ance of the great master mind of Col Jacob Ruppert, IT,, who since 1906 has had sole direction of the business es- abolished in 1867 by his venerable sire. The latter, hale and hearty, though well past the 80th milestone of life's journey, has long since laid aside the duties of business, confident that the Ruppert interests could be confded to no better hands than those of his son, the former Congressman.
 The career of Col. Jacob Ruppert, Jr, is an inspiration to young men. Though still young man, himself, his career has been filled with trfurn phs of business and craftsmanship The fact that he is and has been for sev- eral years the president of the great United States Brewers association, speaks volumes for his ability, not only as a brewer, but as an organizer and upbuilder.
 Col Ruppert laid aside the duties of statesmanship in 1906. He had served four consecutive terms, eight years, in the Congress of the United States, his three re-elections being based upon a record that may well serve as a model for his successors. He declined further honor from his constituents, when, in 19o6s he decided owing to the advanc-

ing years of his father, to devote his entire attention to the interests of the brewery.
 However, only recently he was hon ored by Governor Sulzer with an ap- pointment as a member of the board of managers of the New York State reformatortes, a fine recognition of his unself1sh citizenship and his sterling worth.
 With the determination in mind to make the name of Ruppert a synonym for the best beer brewed he threw himself with characteristic energy into the preparation for making. the Rup- of his first steps was the opening of a new bottling plant. This was accom- plished during the first year of his ad- campaign for the boosting of the Rup- pert bottled beer that three years later the new bottling plant was far too small to meet the demands Of the con- stantIy increasing volume of business was opened, with an enormous capaci- ty, and so arranged that further ca pacity was easily attainable.
 The next year, in 1911, he opened a stock house, for the storage of beer that electrified his business rivals. It was the largest institution of it's kind in the world, and insured the perfect ageing. of the famous Ruppert prod ucts.
 The stock house serves as a model. It is at e1sts street and Third avenue The entire plant embraces territory
