AT THE CASA NAPOLEON.
BY THOMAS A. JAN -VIER.
PART
1.
In the matter of the melee there had been
a compromise. Madame, 'whose birthplace
was Toulouse, and whose -love for the Corsi-
can dynasty that had ruled her native France
amounted to adoration, was hotly for calling
their establishment the Rotel Napoleon.
Don Anastasio, on the other hand -being so
devotedly attached te hie native country
that he hacl been fairly whirled out of it by
a revolution in which he had engaged for
its betterment, and having, moreover, an
eye for a neine attractive to his fellow
Spanish Amerioans-was equally hotly for
calling it the Casa Mexicana.
Now the voting rights of the parties in
interest -experience on the one side, capital
on the other -were very nicely balanced.
Madame had been engaged for five years in
keeping a small hotel In South Fifth Av-
enue. It had been a flourishing hotel, well
thought of and well frequented by her fel-
low-countryinen sojourning in New York;
and she had flourished with it But what
with the unannounced departure of certain
of her lodgers who left behind them large
unpaid bilis, and a fire that had wrought
havoc with her uninsured furniture, and the
inconsiderate sickness and death of her hus-
band -it had been a marriage of convenience,
Monsieur had been her cook -her fortunes
of a sudden changed direfnlly. She was
plunged, in short, from it, very reasonable
height of prosperity into a depth ef adver-
sity that she believed at the moment to be
nothing less than bottomless, All that re-
mained to her was her well-earned knowl-
edge of how a hotel should be kept; but
that she could make this knowledge prac-
tically valuable by obtaining another hotel,
and keeping it,seemed te her in her despair-
ing state a hopeless impossibility.
It was at this stageof the proceedings that
Don Anatasioe being then freshly exiled
frOM Mexico, Made to Mademe a formal of-
fer of his heart, his hand, and the rather
tidy sum of silver dollars that he had been
luelty enough to save out of the wreck of his
revolution and. had brought with him into
his banishment. They wouldbe married,he
said, and they would found a hotel that
evould become glorious and memorable
Marriage,' he declared, " was a natural
ight enjoyed by man," which fact, he
pointed rent, was set forth in the second law
ftifirt book of the in•O rentidan of
Don Alonzo the Wise,Ring of Arragon ;.and
n the introduction to the fourth book of
hat imperishable work, he added, it was
ritten : "This order of matrimony was by
od'e own self established, and for this rea-
ms is it the most noble and the most honor-
ble of the Seven Sacraments of the Holy
hurch. And therefore." Don Anastasio
uoted in triumphant conclusion," it should
be kept and honored, because h isc. the first
acrament that was made and ordained by
otl himself in Paradise -which Paradise
ath ever since remained anankid oi4 as its
atural abiding. place and boine" Don
mastasio had been bred a lawyer ; and
f all his law books none pleased him so
ell as the Siete Partidas. In it, he_cle-
lared, and with justice, was to l_re feund the
hole su.m of human wisdom.
Had Madame manifested a disposition to;
eject his suit, Don Anastasio was prepared
ith a further strong array of quqtations
onx the Siete Partidas that must inevita-
ly have proved convincing. Bret Madame
aa too sincerely grateful to him for extri-
ting her from. her difficulties to manifest
ny more'hesitation in accepting offer
an tw he seemly decorum of a . widoof a
isband of convenience required. 4p.d so,
ese perfunctory scruples being set: aside
ithont King Alonzo's.assista,nce, she :yield
to Don Anaste,sio's combined loVer-like
d business-Iikespersuasions
Don Anastasio was a personable man, tall,
mmaucling, dignified., and exhibiting at
1 times a gravely courteous air that Would
ve clone credit to a count. Madame -
ort, trimly rounded, brisk, and cheery to
legTee-was not in the least, digeified.
it madam was delightful -es wits plain to
3 -body with half an eye for -what, a plump
tie French widow should be. AS fee her
od-nature, it was as lasting as a summer
y is long. Therefore these two mede a
11 -looking couple when Madame, throw -
aside her mourning before it • had•even
gun to grow rusty, blossomed Out erica
re into the most lively array of oolore and
erne Don Anastasio's wife. In the Upper
cles of Fra,nco-American and Spanish-
erican society, resident in South Fifth
enue and Macdougal Street, and there-
uts, the wedding made quite a etir. ;
t was in the days immediately preceding
wedding that the compromise was

hotel; and it is not surprising, the cir-
cumstances of the ease being considered,
that substantial victory rested upon the ban-
ners of. Madame. As she somewhat Pephis-
tiep,lly repreamited to Don Anastasio, the
use of the word case would sufficiently indi-
cate to his fellow countrymen and to Spanish
Americans generally that the hotel was one
at which both Spanish dishes and the Span-
ish tongue Would be served, while Napoleon
would, be a name to conjure with in the mat-
ter of the French trade. And she also
made the strong point that she had a right
to choose themore important portion of the
nape of the hotel because she knew how to
keep it, while to Don Anastasio hotel -keep-
ing ine4ommon with business of every sort,
saving only the profession of Spanish-
American law, and the trade of Spanish-
American revolution, neither of which
could be very successfully carried on in the
city of New York -was a hopeless mystery.
Don Anastasio was no matoh for Madame in
argument; he was too gallant to rest his
rights upon his having rescued her from her
most grievous plight of poverty; and for
once he was .unable to produce a law from
the Siete Partidas that would resolve the
matter in hand in accordance with his views.
While he still was fumbling in the dusk of
the thirteenth century for the assistance
that Alonzo the Wise declined to give,
Madame said briskly: "It is then decided!"
And so it was.
Therefore when the announcement of the
new Franco -Spanish-American hotel was
made in -the Courier des Etats Urals, the
name under which that hostelry figured,and
by Which it subsequently achieved ae well-
earned fame, was the Casa Napoleon.
II. 7
But the story of the founding and of the
naming of the Casa Napoleon had come to
be ancient history when Mr. and Mrs. John
Rayford-to whom New York was a very
foreign city, and to whom, also, a very low-
priced hotel was an economic necessity -
drifted one bright June morning within its
hospitable doors. The crest of the wave of
economy on which they rode, to pursue the
marine simile, was so high that it carried
them fairly up three flights of stairs, and
stranded them at last in the smallest room
on the fourth floor. Had there been a fifth
floor in the Casa Napoleon, they would have
been carried one story higher.
Mrs. John Rayford, whose godfathers and
godmothers in baptism had bestowed upon
her the singularly inappropriate name of
Prudence, was charmed by the exceeding
novelty of her surroundings. On this head
she expressed herself with a characteristic
volubility and frankness.
"Why, it's perfectly delightful, Jack,"
she said -she had hung her hat on one of
the three hooks on the door, and was stand-
ing in front of the very small looking -glass
patting her hair into proper shape. It was
fluffy brown hair, with bright tones in it,
where the light caught it, and there was a
good deal of it. "I've never seen any place
that began to be so queer and so funny. The
very name of it makes you feel ever so far
away from everywhere; and the way that
people were talking all sorts of languages to
each other while we were waiting in the
parlor was just like what it must have been
at the Tower of Babel. Don't you think
that it is a lovely place, Jack ?"
Jack was sitting on the bed, filling his
pipe and looking admiringly at the pretty
picture that his wife presented as she stood
before the glass, with both arms raised,
tightening her hair -pins. He lighted his pipe,
clasped his hands comfortably round his
right knee, leaned back a little, and ans-
wered with emphasis. "Yes, I do !"
"And do you know, Jack." Prudence con-
tinued, "coming to this delightful little ho-
tel, that makes me feel as though I were
travelling in several fOreig-n countries at
once has put an idea into my head? Yes,
I intend to perfect my knowledge of foreign
languages. I know a little Feench already
-didn't you notice how pleased the cham-
bermaid seemed to be just now when I
thanked her for the towels in her own native
tongue? But I shall bend my energies most
strongly in the direction of Spanish, Jack:
and I mean that you shall study Spanish too.
When your ricb half-uncle-whone you won't
believe in at all, and whom I believe in ilTI-
plicitly-comes home at last from South
America, just think how pleased he will be
to find us talking the language that all these
years be has been accustomed to."
"Suppose he has been living in Brazil,
and speaks Portugese ?" Jack put in.
"And if you succeed in getting "something
to do that pays pretty well," Prudence went
en, without regard to this interruption, "so
that we always will be easy in our minds
about paying the board -and I'm sure you
will, dear boy -I don't care if we stay here
for a whole year. We ought to know Span-
ish perfectly in a year, -I should think. And
just think, Jack, what a nice place this
would be to bring your half -uncle to in case
you should find him suddenly -and I sup-
pose you will find him suddenly when you
find him at all. After all these years in
South America, he certainly evould feel much
more at home in a place like this than he
would in an Amerioan hotel, with everybody
talking English. .And what fun it will be,
Jack, when you really do find him at last!
Of course he must have made a tremendous
fortune by this time; and of course he will
want to leave it all to you; and of course,
in the mean time, he will want to provide
for you very handsomely. Hew much, Jack
-about how , much do you think he will
think he ought to allow his only half -sister's
only son ?"
"In view, you mean, of his devoted Jove
for his only half -sister's whole father, and
of the constant tendernees • manifested to-
ward hills by that connection by marriage
through a, censiderable, term of years ?"
"Don't be provoking, Jack: I know that
he and your grandfather didn't exactly take
to each other, and that it was because they
couldn't get along together comfortably
that he ran off to California and then
drift-
ed so far away into South America that he
never carne home again. But he certainly was
very fond of your grandmother, Jack. You
can see that in his letters. And it was only
when she died that he stopped Writing, and
so you lost track of him. I am sure that he
must yearn for the love of the little half-
sister whom he sends with nice messages to
in those old letters; and I can fancy what
a comfort it will be to him to find that, al-
though she is dead, he still has left to him
her son-"
• "Whom he never laid eyes on, never even
heard of, and whom -for my mother was
not married until years after the letters
stopped -he would not even know by name.
Of course he does, Prue, my dear, and I
have only to find him (and, supposing him
to be still alive, I haven't the least notion
where to look for hinn) and then to mention
my name to him (which, as 1 have just ex-
plained, he cannot possibly recognize), in
order to receive an immediate gift of half a
million down, and the positive promise of
his entire -estate upon his decease -to the
entire exclusion of the claims of his South -
American wife, and of the seventeen child-
ren of his own who have been born in the
mean time !"
" Oh!" exclaimed Prudence, in a tone of
much concern •'.you don't think he is mar-
ried and has Children of his own? Uncles,
and I should think half-uneles, who wander
off into foreign countries this way never get
married, Jack. Truly, you don't think that
he is married, do you ?"
"1 think that you are rapidly taking
leave of your senses," Jack answered
promptly ; and I also think that before
you grow quite raving we will go down
stairs and • get our dinner.. Come along,
Prue; very likely Half -Uncle William came
up on the last steamer from South America,
and is stopping here at the Casa Napoleon,
Pitcher's Castoria.
and is down stairs at this very moment:!
waiting for us."
"1 wish that just once in a while, Jack,
when I -am perfectly serious and very much
interested in something, you wouldn't make
fun of me. And I do wish," Prudence add-
ed a moment later, "that you would learn
to kiss me without hugging so hard, and
without- all mussing my hair up just after I
have fixed it. The very first thing that I
shall ask your half uncle to do, after we
have found him, is to teach you better man -
hers." And they went down to dinner.
There was an agreeable down-at-heel air
about the Casa Napoleon'that to persons
educated to au understanding of the trne
meaning of the word comfort was largely
promising. In the course of the twenty
years which had passed since Don Anasta-
sio's revolutionary Mexican silver dollars
had been spent in its furnishing, the kindly
touch of Time had toned down the too lively
colors of the chairs and carpets and wall-
paper and curtains, all of which had been
selected in accordance with Madame's vivid
taste; and the :mine inellowing influence
had worked to brine tfie management of
the little hotel and the requirements of its
numerous patrons into . pleasing harmony.
Ostentatious display was ignored; comfort
was insisted upon. The whole creed of
Madame was comprehended in two items:
cleanliness and a good cook. The first of
these articles of faith she enforced person-
ally ; the second was a more tender point
with her -for the place in the kitchen va-
cated by the untimely death of Monsieur,
her husband of convenience, never had been
filled precisely to her mind; Don Anasta-
sio's sole cau-s-e for jealousy was the frequent
invocation of Madame '-when affairs in the
cooking, department went wrong -.---of the
culinary wraith of his predecessor in the
possession, not of Madaine's affections, but
of her commissarial esteem. There were
times at which Don Anastasio thought that
this devotion to an ideal defunct cook was
carried too far; but at such times he found
solace in referring to the Sixth Partida of
of King Alonzo, and therefroin drawing the
broad generalization that the actual rights
of the living are superior to the supposed
rights of the dead.
And, in truth, it was because her stand-
ard was an ideal one that Madame was .not
more entirely satisfied with the fare -that
her kitchen provided. Guided by her own
knowledge of What good French cooking
should be -and 'Madame, it must be remem-
bered, was born in Toulouse -and being in-
structed from time to time by intelligent
persons from southern lands in the composi-
tion of delicacies dear to the Spanish-Amer-
ican palate, her table was one that the fre-
quenters of mote pretentious hotels in New
York very well might have smacked their
lips over.
And Don Anatasio-of a Sunday, as he
packed his lean person full of huevos en
uortilla, con chile and mole de guajolote, and
laid a substantial layer cif delicious guisados
and delicately fried frijoles over all -cer-
tainly 'did smack his lips most heartily. And
at the -same time did he thank all the saints
in the calendar (for Don Anastasio was a re-
ligious man in his later years) for the rich
return that his investment of revolutionary
silver dollars was bringing himire. On such
festive occasion, (when additional good for-
tune made thin] possible) he would turn to
his old-time revolutionary companion, the
Senor Estrano, and would say, with his
-mouth full of mole: "This is better tha,n
fighting the pestilent Comonfort,old friend!"
And the Senor Estrella), also with his mouth
full of mole,would answer thickly brit heart-
ily: "De veras, senor 1" And then, but
with a little sigh for the pulpie that fitly
and deliciously belongs with mole, but that
is a delight unobtainable outside of Mexico,
they would drink to - each other in deep
draughts of the honest red wine (Madame
herself saw to its honesty) of Bordeauk.
But it was net often that Don Anastasio
was cheered by the presence of his old-time
oompanion in the wars. The Senor Estrano,
usually addressedand referred to as Don
Guillermo, had been whirled out of Mex-
ico by the same revolution that had sent Don
Anastasio flying northward; but his own
flight had been 'toward the south. He had
come to a halt,in Venezuelo and -possessing
the business faculties which Don Anastasio
so conspiculously lacked ---he had these ac-
quired a coffee plantation, and, in course of
years, had grown to be a person of sub-
stance. As he frankly told Don Anastasio
no reasonable man could be expected to ab-
sent himself often, or for long at a time,
from the easy life and heavenly climate of
Venezuela for the rasping- life and abomina-
ble climate of New York. Don Anastasio
had spent a stray half-year in Caracas, and
so knew that what his friend declared was
true. Yet would not Don Anastasio give
up his friendship -though in preserving it
he took direct issue with King Alonzo, for
that monarch, expressly set forth, in the
seventh law of the Fourth Partida, that a
legitimate reason for breaking a friendship
is that accident has carried.. one friend or
the other to dwell in distant lands.
Fortunately, it was possible to compromise
the matter without disobedience to the
Siete Particles (for the clause is not man-
datory,) and without disrespect to the King
of Arragon (to whom the facilities of travel
by steam power were unknown.) Every.
year or two, in the interest of his coffee
dealings and for the love of his old friend,
Don Guillermo came northward; wisely
timing his journeyings so that he should
spend the month of October in New York --
at which partially pleasant season no great
stretch of the imagination would be re-
quired to fancy himself at home in Ven-
ezuela .with the weather, at its worst. And
during these most happy visits the two old
boys had rarely good times together -as
they feasted on the good things which
Madame provided for them, while they
fought over again jovially their long -past
campaigns.
Nor had Don Anastasio any lack of good
company even in the seasons When his well.
beloved companion in arms was in his far-
off home. The fame of the Casa Na-
poleon had gone abroad into the distant re-
gions of the South, and into and out of its
hospitable doorway there was ever a steady
flow and ebb of travelers from and to the
Spanish islands and the Spanish main.
Among these wayfarers Don Anastasio
found a plenty of good talking mates; and
the -friendliness that grew up between the
host and the patrons of the little hotel was
shown by the hearty huggings and back-
pattings when they departed; and by the
still warmer demonstrations of a like na-
ture when, as Often chanced, these same pa-
trons came again.
Among the travellers who frequented the
Casa Napoleon, Madame's fellow -country -
folk were few. But among the French resi-
dents in New York -whose home, for the
most part, was southward and westward of
Washington. Square -the hotel was most
honorably known and most highly esteemed.
It was here - that dinners of estate
were given, and breakfasts of be-
trothal, and also wedding breakfasts
-at which latter it was hard to tell wheth-
er the young bride or the young groom suf-
fered the greater tortures of the confusion
by reason of the very highly spiced wit that
was let loose by Madathe's Tare old bur-
gundy ; and at which, certainly, only the
fathers and mothers and other elderly peo-
ple had a really good time. In addition to
the very profitable business which this class
af custom afforded, certain well-to-do per-
sons -for the most- part gray -headed, and
come to the time of life when the bourgeois
Frenchman frankly surrenders himself to

per ----:in which the Or inary of the hotel was
served -and the rest urant adjoining it, set
with a dozen little tables, were crowded.
As to the -smells whi pervaded the Casa
Napoleon about dinn r time, and even when
wafted out into the s reet by the frequent
opening of its doors, hey were of a nature
so savory and BQ mo th-watering that St.
Anthony himself won 1 have succumbed to
them! In a small w: e, too, the Casa Na-
poleon had a clientele if Americans. They
were not very distin uished Americans-
& few newspaper peo le and artists, and.
some ladies and gentl en connected with
the minor regions of he stage -but they
were of a sort to appre iate -clean rooms at
moderate prices, and c pital breakfasts and
dinners at half a dollar and a table wine at
twenty-five cents the half -bottle that, at
least, did not absolutel make one's mouth
pucker. In accordance with the easy going
ways of their kind, and of the hotel itself,
these slipshod Americ ns were en friendly
talking terms with ea h. other, and with
such of the frequenters if the Casa Napoleon
in general as spoke a language that they
could understand.
Among the various fa from taciturn per-
sons composing this less choice than curious
collection of humanity, on Anastasio, who
dearly loved a dish of fr endly talk, never
was at a loss to find son ebody to have it
with. In the course of is wanderings he
had acquired as extensiv and as frag-men-
tory a collection of langu ges as goes to the
make-up of a Levantine urier ; and -save
when conversing in his n tive Spanish -he
put together his fragments with as little
care as to where the pi ces came from as
though he were the curet r of a damaged
collection of Cypriote ant quities. For all
the fire of his revolution y youth -and a
good deal of this fire stil remained in his
composition -he was a gentle, kindly old
boy, with a mellow voice t lot had a friendly.
ring in it, and a yellow, rinkled face, on
which there came easily a very friendly
smile. As to the actual in nagement of the
hotel, he knew no more a sut it than a babe
in arms ; but he was useful because, under
Madame's directions, he k pt the accounts,
and still more useful beca e of the good
impression that his genial N itys and kindly
manners made upon all ho came within
his gates.
The real manager of the otel, of course,
was Madame. She was at 11 times and in
all seasons at the very tap a id bottom of it.
In the kitchen she braved he chef in his
most peppery moods in orde i to enforce her
mandate that -justice should be done to her
patrons without, by extrav gant wasteful-
ness, doing injustice to herself. In the up-
per regions of the house she etched with a
ceaseless vigilance the ways f the French
ehambermaid-cornpelling o the part of
that far too good-looking y ung person a
maximum of application in he matters of
careful bed -making and svree ing aud dust-
ing, and a minim= of fli ting with the
male lodgers. And in the dining -room,
where the Cuban negro, Telisforo, waited
upon the Spanish-speaking i irtion of the
household, and in the restam nt, where the
public at large was waited up u by the one -
eyed waiter, Theophile, was apparent, in
the precision and the excellen e of the ser-
vice, the good effect of the ju t but severe
discipline maintained by Midame. In a
word, it is not to be believed hat, as Mad-
ame conducted it, a more com ortable little
hotel than the Cana Napoie n was to be
found in all the stretch and co npass of the
world.

The Sun's Pumping Work.
At a recent meeting of tl e Engineers'
Club of this city, Joseph T. Richards made
some interesting remarks on the actual
work of lifting performed by t • Bun's rays
in the absorption of water from through the
atmosphere. He said: "For many years
past I have been much interes ed in mat-
ters relating to the eompositio of the at-
moshpere and the work done by the sun in
raising the moisture afterwards recipitated
as rain. Professor Loomis clai $ that the
average height of clouds is -two miles. Al-
though this is probably corr et, I think
there is no doubt on the other hand that
many clouds from which we see ain falling
are within half a mile of the sur ace of the
earth. To make a moderate cal .ulation let
us assume as a minimum distance 3,000 feet..
If you figure it out you will find hat a rain-
fall of one inch in an hour would amount to
72,600 tons of water deposite on each
square mile, to elevate which 3,000 feet
would mean an amount of work equal to
220,000 horse power. To raise t is water
in an hour - by pumping engines giving a
clay of 106,000,000 foot-pounds 1 eeuld re-
quire the consumption of 200 gros's tons of
coal. I think this will help us to ppreciate
the immense amount ot work bein done by
the sun in storing up our natu 1 water
supply. If the average elevation if Phila-
delphia is 84 feet, then we have 4, 17 herse
power developed for each square 'le for a
rainfall run off in an hour. WI en these
quantities are considered, the onder is
that when we have such downpour as that
which caused the Johnetown flood he dam-
age is not much greater than it was on that
occasion." -Philadelphia Record.
