Jamestown Has Played a Part in His tory XnH)leon Once Started to Flee to Jamestown, Ya.t After His Defeat at Waterloo He Was Cap tured and Pled a Prisoner at James town, St. Helena. The visit of Charles J. Bonaparte, secretary of the navy, and grand nephew of the great French emperor, to the Jamestown exposltlno will be the culminating incident in a long chain of circumstances which have as sociated the name of Napoleon with the locality In which the exposition is to be held. The name ' Jamestown, appears twice within the last century gnrklng events of great importance.' One of these events will be the Jamestown, Ter-Centennlal exposition, to be held on Hampton Roads, near Norfolk, in 1S07. to celebrate the succfssful com pletion of three centuries of national growth, filled with benefits to all mankind. The other, which occurred at the beginning of the last century, marked the end of the Napoleonic era, at Jamestown, St. Helena. Jamestown, St. Helena, was named after the Eng lish king, James II, from whom Jamestown, Va., also received its name. Near the latter Jamestown is a government reservation said to have been nnmed after the great French emperor soon after his death on the lonely English island in the south At lantic. It was to Hampton Roads that the defeated emperor-general proposed to escape after the battle of Waterloo. He was on board ship at Bordeaux, when a French attorney visited him and told hiir that to persist In going to sea from that port would result In his capture by the English ships In the offing. His brother Joseph, who was with him on the ship, disregarded this advice, and put to sea, reachlm; America without molestation. Napoleon lagged behind, vacillating in a manner quite Inconsistent with his usual decisive methods. When he at last put to sea from Rochefort, his vessel was captured by the Brit ish shin Bollerophon. and after being kept a prisoner on board that ship, he was transferred to life captivity at St. Helena. Sixteen 'ysars after the great gen eral's death, his nephew, Louis Bona parte, then Prince Imperial, afterward Napoleon III, visited Norfolk on the French frigate L'Andromede, which was accompanied by La Sirene. A large suite was In attendance, and the party was quartered at French's hotel, then on the southeast corner of Church and Main streets. This hotel had been finished only a few days before the prince's arrival, and these were among its first guests. The present secretary of the navy Is the son of Napoleon's favorite brother Jerome, king of Westphalia. AMERICAN MACHINISTS QUIT. Mexican Workmen Also Strike for Better Wages. El Paso, July 30.

KikI of Flax liaising lu Wlllumette " A'nlley Hat) Come. Salem, July 80. Satisfied In his own mind that every available obsta cle is being placed In the way of suc cess' by the linen trust; gradually growing discouraged with the misfor tunes with which his every effort has been met, and disappointed In his en deavors to find sufficient and willing capital with which to develop the nat ural flax and linen fiber resources of the Willamette valley, Eugene Bosse, the Belgian flax expert, has abandon ed the cultivation of flax on a large scale and is now devoting his atten tion to the culture of hemp for th-i Portland and California markets. His belief In the future of the flax Industry In the Willamette valley la unswerving, and he Is still In corre spondence with Interested capitalists in New York and Canada and has strong hopes of being able to realize his ambitions. Every crop he has ' raised has been destroyed by fire, through some unknown and mysteri ous cause, until he can afford to ex periment no more on his own account, and now he has resolved to turn his attention to hemp. He has over 200 acres of hemp growing here and at Sclo, in Linn county, and he says it Is the most perfect hemp that he has ever seen In any country. On account of the destruction of the hemp crops in the Indies and the Jute crop in California there Is a great shortage In the supply of raw material and the price has already Increased 2 cents, thus early In the season. Raw hemp Is now quoted at 8 cents per pound. Mr. oBsse also has 100 acres of flax In this year, and it, too, has attained of the fibre Is superfine. Within the past year" Mr. Bosse has suffered the past year Mr. Boss has suffered the loss of two shipments of first-quality flax fiber, which have not arrived nt their destination. The first shipment, both being of samples, consisted of six bales of one top, and It was sent to New York early In October last. The second consisting of two bales, was shipped June 2 last. Neither has reached Its destination and Mr. Bosse is at a loss to know what could nave become of them. In these cases, however, , the railroad companies are responsible for their safe delivery and will have to reim burse Mr. Bosse In the event they be como permanently lost. These ship ments were both made to Marshall & Co., of New York, a member of the linen manufacturers' trust. CAKE AN OLD INSTITUTION. The Ancients Mnile and Ale It. bat It Was a simple Affair. The ancients made cake, but It was not the rich, highly seasoned and fla vored confection which we Indulge In nowadays. They had plain cakes made with flour and water, some of them without a suspicion of sweet or flavor. Some of them were hot unlike our plainest crackers and were often eaten as we eat bread. Wedding cake was an Institution among them, as with us, but tbe cake was a plain one and was broken above the head of the bride as she went to her new home. This was a special fea ture of Roman marriages 2,000 rears ago. The breaking of the cake was part of a solemn ceremony. All of tbe cakes of ancient history are plain and simple. It Is only as we come down to more modern times that we hear of spices and fruits and all of tbe rich and luxurious Ingredients In which present day cakemakers delight In Queen Elizabeth's time spice cakes and buns were eaten at weddings. From these the fashion and fancy grew for all sorts of elaborate and dellclously unwholesome combinations until there seems to be a perpetual struggle for something new and more unusual to stir Into the cake of the period. Measuring; Medicine. Use a medicine glass with the amount of each spoonful and drop marked Upon It Teaspoonfuls and tablespoon fuls are always mentioned, but as these vary In size It Is not safe to rely Upon them. Drops, too, cannot be properly measured without a glass. Keep tbe medicine glass perfectly Clean. It should be washed out after each dose. In readiness for tbe next time. It Is desirable that If the patient Is to have medicine ltb a strong smell, oils, etc., to keep a glass special ly for them, letting It soak In bot wa ter for half an hour after use to re more all disagreeable odor. It Is Im possible to cleanse such a glass In a few moments. Wben tbe medicine Is being poured out bold tbe label upper most In order that it may not become stained with any drops escaping down the side of tbe bottle. Mosart and Bretsaer. When Mozart was st tbe height of his fame he composed the music for Bretz ner's "Belmont uud Konstante" ("The Abduction From tbe Seraglio") at tbe request of tbe Emperor Joseph II. The author of the drama was so angry at this that be Inserted tbe following no tice In the Leipzlger Zeltung: "A cer tain fellow of the name of Mozart has dared to misuse my drama, 'Belmont nnd Konstanze,' for an opera text. I hereby solemnly protest against this Invasion of my rights, and I reserve to myself further procedures. (Signed), Cbrlstoph Frledrlch Kretzner, author of 'Rauschchen.' " A Ground Host Case. "A ground bog case" Is a case of absolute necessity one In which tbe reward of perseverance Is certain and the necessity for perseverance Is im perative. Its origin Is told In this sto ry: A boy was seen digging vigorously with a grub hoe at the month of a hole In which a ground bog Iind taken ref uge. He was asked If he thought be wonld get the ground hog, to which be replied with scorn: "Catch him? Why, yes; I'm bound to catch him; we're out of meat"--St. Louis Republic. ALASKA GOVERNMENT AGEXT INVESTI GATED IXDIAN SLAVERY. Cruised for 18 Month Along the En tire Chain of Aleutian Islands From Mulnlmid to Alaska Almost to Asi atic Coast Could Not Reveal Ills Official Report, But Says It Is Gen eral Knowledge That Slavery Exists In the Islands Savages Uve In Ab ject Poverty and Squalor. After a search of 18 months among the Aleutian Islands for evidences of slavery, which Is said to exist among the Indians on some of the Alaskan islands, an agent of the United States department of Justice passed through over the O. It. & N. last evening to report to the government In Washing ton on his findings. While he could not dlvulae at this time uny features of his reoort. he said that It was general knowledge that a form of slavery exists ammn some of the most savage Indian tribes in the Aleutian Islands and that steps will be taken to crush crush it out. For the past IS months he has cruised from Island to Island in the Aleutian chain, extending from the mainland of the Alaskan territory, well toward the Asiatic coast, and thinks he has seen every tribe of In dians In the entire chain. He was accompanied by Interureters and cort of marines from the revenue cut ters on which he traveled, almost en tirely on his long search. His descriptions of the beauties of the Aleutian chaJn of Islands are fas cinating. While some of the islands are small, they are a veritable para- aise. The vegltatlon Is luxuriant, the foliage dense and the everirreen tim. ber the most prolific and dense ever seen. Owing to the sween of the Janun current along the entire chain of slands theli climate Is verv mild ni though they are at. a hle:h latitude. The rains are excessive at certain sea sons and the squalid natives live In mud and filth and exist bv flshlnn nn.i -apping in the crudest possible man ner. Many of the smaller Islands hnvn nn inhabitants whatever and others form the summer residence for mlerntorv tribes which travel from place to place mucn ns the plains Indians did In the early days on the Pacific coast. It Is known that these rr.lgrntpty rlbes carry en a considerable trade In slaves. They seize the children of he lenre Inferior tribes nnd li l'n.m to other distant tribes, where the chattels work for life for their man ors under the most horrible cnn.1l- tlons of servitude, at times. ' He would not care to repeat some ui me experiences of the Ir n. al though the explorations were filled with Intense excitement and interest. In speaking of the treorrnnhlrnl In cation of the Aleutian Islands, he call ed attention to the almost unhelleva ble fact that the actual center of the territory of the United States. Innlnrt Ing Alaska, was at a point 222 miles west of San Francisco, counting the extreme west end of the territory as the westernmost Aleutian Island and the eastern point at the northeast cor ner of Maine. The Aleutian islands extend almost 2500 miles westerly from the Alaskan mainland. It is but ECO miles from the western Island of the Aleutian chain to Kamchatka peninsula, Si berhin territory.

Two Idaho CoiiiilifH Would Divide the Revenue. Says a Boise dispatch: Quite a lit tle comment hus been canned lately by those Interested us to where the Mll ner dam should be divided In order that the counties of Lincoln and Cas sia should get their Just proportion of the taxes to bo derived from the same. The dam Is thrown across the Snake river at M liner and as the river Is the division line of the two counties, both are entitled to a share of the taxes and, as the dam when completed cost In the neighborhood of $420,000, It means quite an Item to both. In an Interview with 8. H. Hays of Boise, former attorney general of this state, he stated the question of where to divide the Snake river In order that both counties could receive their ap portionment was a very technical one and one that would require considera ble study. There has been several rulings made on this point, he con tinued, nnd some of them vary. For Instance some have held that the river should be divided at high water, some ut normal and some at low water, while still others rule that the river, should be divided In the center of the deep water channel. It Is a hard question to Uecldu and the matter will have to be thoroughly Investigated be fore a final decision can be reached. Shoshone Journal. MEN'S SHOP & ?
