with 500,000. The most heavily
Insured monarch was the late
King Humbert, whose life was valued by
himself at 1,600,000, so that the many In
surance companies among: whom the risks
were divided were very hard hit by his
assassination. The German emperor's In
sure nee runs Into six figures.
"Did you ever hear the s'ory of Gen
eral B. F. Butler's hatred of pepper? No;
well, here it Is, and I know it has never
been in print." So spoke a well known
lawyer .to a Philadelphia Inquirer reporter.
"Tears ago when the general was at the
height of his career, be was counsel In a
big case that Involved thousands of dollars'
worth of hides. These hides were from
South America, and were In an awful evll
amelllng state. In order to keep them to
gether it had been necessary to cover them
with black pepper, vast quantities of which
had been used.
"When the general told me this he used
to say that he had a suspicion that this
pepper was afterwards gathered together
and sold, and so great was his horrer that
he might run against some of the article
that nothing could Induce him to use pep
per." A man who has saved sixty human lives
and gained a gold medal from congress and
other substantial tokens of recognition
for his brAvery would not be open to severe
criticism if he displayed more or less self
consciousness and an appetite for flattery
and notoriety. Yet Captain Joseph A. Na
pier of St. Joseph, Mich., has gained such
a record without acquiring such character
istics. At the age of 87, broken In health
and practically penniless, he lives in com
parative obscurity in the Michigan town.
The city of Chicago presented to him a
handsome gold watch as far back as 1854
In recognition of his heroism in saving
life. Six years earlier than this citizens
of Buffalo gave him a gold medal in appre
ciation of his bravery. Another gold medal
was voted to him In 1860 by the cltlzeLs of
Cleveland, O., after he had saved the Uvea,
of thirty men through extraordinary ef
fort. Twice later the crews of vessels
wrecked on the lakes expressed their ad
miration for Captain Napier by giving him
medals.
Francesca Janauschek, who is said to be
in a dying condition, has had a most re
markable professional experience, says the
Boston Transcript, none the less noteworthy
because of the fact that she began her
career as a "prodigy," a class that seldom
fulfills In later years the promise of youth.
In childhood she appeared In public both as
a singer and a pianist, and at the early
age of nineteen she was leading lady at
the Stadt theater in Frankfurt. Janau
schek in the course of her life of seventy
two years has sung in various roles In grand
opera and she has playad a wide range of
characters upon the dramatic stage. Trag
edy has always been her especial line, both
in the lyric and spoken drama, although
she has been aeen in comedy and character
parts, showing that her art was broad and
comprehensive. While perhaps Janau
schek's Lady Macbeth or her Meg Merrilies
or her Mary Stuart or her Adrlenne Le
couvreur will be remembered as among her
greatest achievements, theatergoers of re
cent experience will naturaiu recall her
Countess da Linleres In "The Two Or
phans," her Mother Rosenbaum in "The
Great Diamond Robbery," and her Lady
Deadlock and Hortenae In "Bleak House."
In the first two of these plays she gave
graphic character pictures, and in the last
she not only presented two roles worlds
apart, each of them in the most convincing
manner, but in the part of Hortense she
showed how it was possible for an artist to
achieve the Imposslbllty of a German
speaker simulating the French enunciation
perfectly.
There la no red-headed man in the United
States senate. This might appear to be a
precedent fatal to the ambition of Hon. Tom
Taggert of Indiana, but, like all rosy-topped
statesmen, he Is an Iconoclast, and hopes to
break the record. There are men in the sen
ate who m'ght have been red-beaded in their
day, but that day has long passed.
The nearest approach to red In hirsute
adornment, says the Chicago Journal, is the
Tuscan thatch of the impassioned Carmack
of Tennesaee. His hair would have been
red if it had waited, for his mustache bor
rows the glint of sunset, and in the heat
of debate is actually red. Another "head
o' hair" that verges on the poetical ia that
of McLaurln of South Carolina, Tillman's
Implacable foe. McLaurln's hair is bounte
ous and wavy, with strands that hint, of
rummer dawn. It ia tempestuous in action,
but no one haa ever seen it rise on end
not even when Tillman performed his justly
celebrated leap.
The talk of expense Incident to attendance
at the coronation of King Edward recalls
what Dlsiaell wrote to a friend at the lime
Vlcfrla was crowned: "I must give up go
ing to the coronation, aa all the members of
Parliament must be in court dresses or uni
forms and I can't afford to buy any. I con
sole myself with the conviction that to get
up at 7 o'clock, to sit dressed like a flunky
in Westminster abbey for seven at eight
hours and to listen to a aermqn by the
bishop cf London are treats which can be
missed- with fortitude." In later days, when
Disraeli had gone over from the radical
oamp to thai of the torles, whom he led as
the earl of Beaconsfield, bis views of such
occasions probably had undergone some
transformation.
