ECONOMY
 SHOWN BY WOMEN

Chicago, May 18-A touch of war time economy on the part of the Chi cago women was shown here today when it became known that more than one-half of the assistants of the fashionable modistes along Michigan boulevard have been discharged. This is said to be the result of the sav- ing in clothes put into effect by Chi cago women since war was threaten ed. A meeting of the women's cdm- mittee, national council for defense, Illinois division, has been called for next Monday, at which time some method will be sought for helping the discharged women to find em- ployment.

Napoleon Decreed Emperor

No career in history, perhaps, Is so remarkable as that of Napoleon Bon aparte and his reign and his wars are particularly interesting at the present time, for it was just a few years more than century ago that his wars car ried him to every corner of Europe. The son of a poor Corsican gentleman he became lieutenant of artillery at the age of sixteen; at twenty-six he was commander-in-chi of the army
 of Italy, and at thirty he was First Consul of France. Finally at the age
 of thirty-five he assumed the title of
 Emperor. It is generally recognized
 that France at the time was in a
 mood for the esta ablishnaent of an
 other monarchy, after having for a
 time been a republic. Perhaps Ma
 poleon would have used force to be-
 come emperor had such a step been
 necessary, As it is, he bided his time
 until from all parts of France appeals
 and petitions for hereditary rule pour
 ed in upon him. It was on May Is,
 1894, after the Tribunate, with the
 sole exception of Garnet, had voted
 for the Empire, a senatus consultum
 decreed him Emperor of the
 French.''
 Thus, twenty years after he had en-
 tered the military school at Paris as a
 charity pupil of King Louis, Napoleon
 himself occupied the throne and was
 regarded as the successor of Caesar
 and Charlemagne. And there is no
 denying the fact that he was the
 choice of the people. The pageants which followed the decree that made him emperor were among the most , imposing spectacles in history. In the summer of 1894 a magnificent
 military fete took place at Boulegne, on the shores of the English channel.
 Seated in the chair of Dagebert, in the presence of sixty@thousand troops,
 aand in sight of the hostile English fleet Napoleon handed decorations from the helmet of Bayard to the Vet- erans of Italy and Egypt. In Decem- Der of the same year he was anefnted Emperor by Plus the Seventh in the Cathedral of Notre Dame. When the aged pope was about to present the crown of Charlemagne, Napoleon seiz- ed it, and facing the vast audience, placed 1t on his own head. Four
 months later at Milan he likewise crowned himself King of Italy with the historic Iron Crown of the Lom-
 bards, crying as he took it: God gives 1 1t to me. beware who touches it." These events occurred barely eleven years after the Reign of Terror, and l the same Paris that witnessed the ex- ecution of Louis XVI cheered the Ma poleon passed in procession to Notre Dame. Nevertheless a few stern re- publicans and Jacoorns neld aloof from the new monarch and even threatened him. On the before Ma poleon's coronation the walls of Paris were adorned with posters announc- ing 'sThe Last Representation of the French Revolution for the Benefit of a Poor Corsican family When Beethoven, the great German com poser, who had inscribed his Sinfonia Eroica Beethoven to Bonaparte" | heard that his former hero had taken the imperial crown, he tore off the dedication with a volley of crfrses and
 in late years rededicated the work ''to
 the memory of a great man."
