A Napoleon Telegraph.

Few Telegraph letters in the hand
Of the great Napoleon are outside
the French national archives. In the
famous Morrison collection, the sec
ond portion of which is being CT
fered at Sotheby's, London, appeared
that missive which the first consul
wrote to the prince who afterwards
became Louis NVIII. In this he
sternly advises him to remain in
sweet and tranquil exile, for a re-
turn to France would mean a trudge
over 100000 corpses ("il vous fau-
draft marcher sur 100000 cadavres").
For this vehement warning Mr.. f.
Sabin paid 9435. and a convenient
and authorized interval the letter
will go to New York. A descendant
of Joseph Bonaparte. at present in
cognito in London. inspected the let
ter and was represented in the

On Crying in the Theater,

So, ayers Nora Bayes, in the
American Magazine, in her own
words:
1T is commonplace of the
thoater that the public want, above
all things, to be entertained. But
tEat Is very far from saying that
they want to be amused. Humor is
~ no means the easiest way to reach
the human heart. There are those
who viii tell YOU that the public
would far rather laugh than cry.
md when they do you can Just tell
them to tell it to Sweeney. The
American public would rather cry
than laugh any day. Wherein it is
not a bit different from the public in
Australia. India, Russia or France.
The secret Of this is very simple: If
you can make anybody cry. YOU
make them forget themselves. The
minute you make them forget them
serves tney are Being tentertained.
III YOU can set them to thinking
about Your blues instead of their
own, they are taken completely out
oil themselves"

BOYS STEAL JUNK
DEALER ARRAIGNED
FOR BUYING

Two boys. Charles Cook and John De.
tiers. were arraigned in the municinal
court Wednesday forenoon before Re-
corder C!ason, charged with stealing a
quantity OF brass and composition from
Max Goldberg & Sons. They pleaded
guilty and were placed on probation
with a sentence in the reform school
hanging over them in case they appear
ed again before the court.
The boys told a straightforward story
10 Deputy Sheriff Robinson and Marshal
Wakeheid, by whom they were appre-
hended, and told substantially the same
tale IN court. They are both l3 wears
Of age and it appeared had been in the

Max Levine. junk dealer on Rob
inson street, was then arraigned on a
charge OF concealing stolen goods. To
this charge he entered. through his at
torney. Z. l.. Goodspeed, the plea of no,
guilty. His plea was OF no avail. as
the evidence tended to point the other
way, and he was found guilty by the
recorder and placed under sI00 bonds for
his appearance in the September term
Of the superior court
Levine, when questioned bv reoutv
Robinson, made a denial Of ever making
any purchase from the boys, and later.
Il was testified. confessed 10 Harry
Goldberg that h lad bought some Of
the metal and promised to make resti-
In
questioned IS TO why he denied hav-
ing made the purchase to the deputy he
and that he was excited at the time as
ne never had had any dealings with an
officer before. He had been in the Junk
business for IS years and had never be-
fore been arraigned n court on like
or, in fact, on any charge. Though the
boys said that he did not ask them I'M
I'll the last time where they got the
metal, he said that he did so the first
time and that they told him they founn
it on the dump. The price he paid for
the composition was about seven cents
per pound and its value was about %
cents.
The Goldbergs seemed somewhat anx-
ious to secure his release and the elder
stated that he himself had been caught
once in a like case. Three other men
had also bought metal from the boys
and acknowledged having done SO when
questioned by Deputy Robinson. The
Gardiner water District also had some
pig lead stolen from under the new
bridge and the boys acknowledged hav-
ing taken this. No charge was brought
against them for this ofTense
The new city ordinance now in pro-
cess Of passage by the city council will
render like cases almost Impossible in
