NAPOLEON ACHILLE MURAT,
FLORIDA'S CITIZEN PRINCE
Ie i
Old Pr/rai of R/inre Act/ :'h:e it
ALIAHASSEE. the capital of
Florida, was for some years
the home of Prince Napoleon
Achille Murat, son of Joachim
Murat, whom Napoleon made
king of Naples. The prince and his
wife were buried in the Episcopal
cemetery of the town, and visitors to
Tallahassee may still see their graves
and also the house in which the
princess lived before her marriage,
with her parents, Col. and Mrs Byrd
Willis. The plantation of Prince
Achille is near by, a portrait of the
prince and a photograph of the prin
cess are in the public library, and
many white haired men and women
are still living who remember the in
teresting, strangely assorted but devote
ed couple.
Among those who remember the
princess with peculiar affection is
Fanny Taylor, a very old negro
woman, the daughter of Patsy Lee,
who was the personal maid of Kather
Ine Willis in Virginia before she went
to Florida and was still her maid after
her marriage.
Patsy, with several other former
slaves, was remembered in the will of
the princess, and Patsy's daughter still
lives in a cabin near Bellevue, which
was the last home of the princess.
The cabin is new, but is on the site of
the former cottage, in which were re
cently burned many historic and beau
tiful pieces of Murat furniture, be
eause, as Fanny expressed it, "there
was mq mankind about to put out the
re." The cabin is as clean as a pin,
IB honor perhaps of the fact that in
it are gifts frrom royalty.
sahny showed a recent visitor with
modest but evident pride two silver
teaspoos., three forks and an old
fhiohned twisted gold brooeh given
to her mother by Prliness Murat.
Prem a wash cloth of finest blrdseye
ia hemamed with almost invisible
atitae, sad the last one ever used

Iseths of pay hair, one or the mistress
and oa of the maid. The last and

friends, arrived in Tallahassee the
belle of Florida was Katherine Willis
Gray, a young widow who lived with
her father, Col. Byrd Willis, who had
sought and made his fortune in the
new territory of Florida.
Mrs. Gray had married a Scotsman
at the age of fifteen and was left a
widow at sixteen, and as her child
also died she returned to live with her
parents at Willis hall, near Fredericks
burg, Va., and accompanied them
when they moved to Florida. The
Willis home in Tallahassee on South
Monroe street, near the capitol, was
a center of the social life of the state.
The beauty and charm of the young
Virginia widow, who was then only
twenty-two years old, immediately cap
tivated the son of Caroline Sonaparte
and his courtship seems to have been
as ardent as might be expectedi from
a temperamental Frenchman. How
ever, the young woman was not only
beautiful and wealthy, but her mother
was Mary Lewis, a niece of George
WashingtoA, and not even the dassling
fact that Colonel Murat's mother was
a sister of Napoleon could blind the
eyes of the blue blood of Virginia to
the knowledge that his father, Joachim
Murat, was the son of an obscure inn
keeper.
Beside which the prince was eccen
tric to a degree that was almost Ill
bred. He spoke a burlesque of the
nglish language and was perhaps
easily affected, but certainly often af
fected, by wine. HeBras, however, an
intensely interesting companion, and
was eagerly sought socially and valued
as a sincere and unchanging friend.
The courtship of the greatest belle
and the only prince in Tallahassee was
watched with interest by the friends
of the couple and with approval by
the parents of the young woman; and
when the devotion and undisguised ad
miration of the prince insally waon
there were hearty cohratatios and
good wishes for them Trom many parts
of the United States as well as their
adopted state.
lirs. Gray and Colonel Murat were
married July 30, 1926, and went to live
at Lpoa, his large plantation in et
(ersen county, the name of which was
transposed to Napolt, the city with
which he had so many assoelatlams. It
was one of the most beautiful estates
in torida and near the township in
the asame country which was givi to
Latfyette by the United States go'v
ersm ent on his visit In 1824.
The prince becomaing restless on his
Florida plantation. he and his Amern
ean pries went abroad and being
lorldden to enter Franes sad Italy
they went to "attle Paris," as Bren
eels is called, wher they spent two
delightful years. The princes, who was

!returned with his wife to his American
freedom.
During a year's stay in London the
beauty and the charming personality
of the princess made a great impres
sion among English nobility, and they
were of real financial assistance to
members of the exiled Bonaparte fam
Ily, especially Louis Napoleon. the
cousin of Prince Achille. The follow
ing year Prince Louis Napoleon came
to America expecting to visit his
"Cousin Kate" and "Cousin Achille"
at their southern home, but he was
recalled from New York by the illness
of his mother.
The prince, with his active mind.
became at one time very much inter
ested in the study of law, to which he
devoted his entire time and quickly
mastered it. He was admitted to the
bar in New Orleans and formed a
partnership with Mr. Gamrnier, and for
several years made his home in the
congenial French city, where he di
vided his time between his beautiful
town house and a large sugar plant
tion which he bought on the Missis
sippi river. Not understanding the
culture of cane, he lost a great deal
of money, but learned at the same
time a great deal about the people and
their life, which he recalls in his books
on America.
Returning to the ever cherished
neighborhood of Tallahassee the
prince and princess spent a number
of years at Econchattie, another of
their plantations, and it was then that
the fighting blood of the Bonapartes
was aroused by the continuous out
rages of the Indians, and the prince in
command of a regiment fought with
Americans for American rights'.
The prince was a brave and daring
soldier, quick, firm and resourceful,
but his wife proved herself a mate
worthy of a Bonaparte by following
him through every peril of the cam
paign, nursing him through an almost
fatal case of fever and remaining with
him until the bloody little war was
over.
At lovely Econchattie, with its giant
live oak trees hung with long gray
moss and the whole world about it
fragrant with flowers, Prince Achille
Murat died April 15, 1847, and it was
at Econchattie that his widow spent
the summers during the twenty years
she survived him. She died August 6,
1867.
Bellevue, just two miles from Talla
hassee, is more closely associated with
the princess after the death of Prince
Murat. She bought the place and with
her favorite slaves settled there to
spend the remainder of her life. It is
a pretty white cottage of four immense
high pitched rooms, set on a beauti
ful hill overlooking Tallahassee to the
east. An oleander lined walk leads
from the road to the doorway, and all
about the house are enormous mag
nolia trees, covered most of the year
with big white blossoms, red berried
holly trees and grapefruit trees which
at all seasons are beautiful with either
fragrant waxy blossoms or pale yellow
fruit
The entertainments given by the
princess at Bellevue were noted all
over the south for their larish hos
pitality, and were enhanced perhaps
in interest by the service of solid gold
and the imperial livery of the Bone
partes. The privilege of using the red
and gold livery was bestowed with
$40,000 on his "Cousin Kate" by Louis
Napoleon after he had become em
peror.
In the cottage were also a marble
bust of Caroline Bonaparte, many ex
quisite pieces of French furniture and
other handsome gifts presented to her
by Napoleon when, with the other
members of the Bonaparte family, she
went to Paris for his coronation. On
may occasions she was selected by
him for especial honors and welcomed
as a 'princess of France,
On one occasion she wasu invtited to
a court tiaction at the Talleriues and
was told that she would know her
posaltion at table by the rank of the
perso with whom she went in to din
ner. As one after the other of the
dignitaries present paised oat before
her to dinaer her hueart sank at the
sight of the few nonenatitles left. Her
unafoeted surprise and delight greatly
pleased the emperor when he himself
came qchly itn, ofereod her his arm
and seated her beside him at the table.

SMES AT CAMIAL
Guards and Doorkeepers Serve
No Purpose.
Recent Theft of the Plans for New
Battleship Not an Isolated Case
Big Business Interests Seek
"laside Information."
Washington.-The flurry occasioned
here recently by the disclosure of the
fact that certain tracings of the plans
for the projected new battleship Penn
sylvania had been stolen from the
navy department served to enliven a
dull period and add a note of excite
ment to the waning discusiaon of the
CalifornlaJapanese "crisis."
The omcials of the navy department
seem entirely in good faith in their
declaration that the missing tracings
are of comparatively small importance,
and do not disclose any "naval secrets"
which would be of value to anybody.
The experience has been a valuable
one, If only because it has brought to
notice a condition of carelessness and
loose management making it possible
for any person in or out of the depart
ment to purloin papers or other things
of value. The same is true of nearly
all of the departments. The corridors
of all the public buildings are lined
with so-called doorkeepers and mes
sengers; more than would be needed
to guard the treasures of royalty. Gen
erally speaking, they serve no purpose
whatever except to multiply the au
noyance of persons having legitimate
business in the department. Right un
der the noses of this horde of hang
ers on, and of regiments of clerks-to
say nothiy of burea chiefs-infor
mation of supposed value is taken, and
no one the wiser.
Evidently the drawing first stolen
was disappointing; for several weeks
later a duplicate, presumably in a
more finished condition, was stolen
from the same room.
And there have been other thefts
since of things of lesser value, but all
contributing to indicate that some one
within the navy department was
guilty. As usual, the empty stable was
carefully locked and a force of de
tectives was set to work to watch
every person who might have access
to the place.
It is typical of the present state of
the public mind that there should be
all this furore over a thing of this
kind, affecting the subject of war. The
theft of a so-called "military secret"
is received with a gusto attaching to
no other kind of theft. Espionage of
forts and ships and such like is no
doubt a terrible thing, and the foreign
"spy" or domestic traitor who does it
should be forthwith arrested and vis
ited with dire penalties.
Yet upon second thought one won
ders of what special use it would be to
a foreign naval commander to know,
however minutely, the system of elec
tric wiring on the ship with which he
was going forth to do battle. With
which of his heavy g~qs will he aim
so accurately as to cut the slender
nerve that coatrols the forward turret
or all the turrets of the enemy? Gun
nery has attained remarkable perfec
tion, no doubt; but hardly has it
reached the point where the location
of wires becomes a part of the cur'
riculam of the gunner.
As for the general plan and con
struction of the battleship, everything
pratical that one could learn from
denwlngs may be observed by any vie
itor upon the beautifully accurate
models of the ships of the United
States navy which line the corridors
of the navy department and afford
material for the eloquenee of a score
of guldes
It is most likely that some poor
creature in one of the navy depart
meat bureaus saw in these drawings
for the Penasymlvala, so ready to his
handnd sd unproteeted by even the
most superielaol system of care, a
chaee to peddle supposedly valuable
secrets to the naval attache of some
foreign embassy. In any club of
Washinglton you can hear plausible
tales of this sort of thing, the nation
of the alleged ofeader varyins with
tbhe nationality of the narratr.

SMART HATS IN BLACK AND WHITE
NOTHING smarter than the black and white checked tailored suits has
been developed this season. They are the perfection or tasteful cut in
simple, graceful lines, and made up with a perfection of workmanship
which is possible only when machines lend their precision in the pro
cess of manufacture.% Now that designers use so much of the effects to be
obtained only by mechanical work, we find the tailored gown indebted to ma
chine stitching for much of its style.
To be worn with this trig costume the "tailored hat" makes its appear
ance every season, sure of the earliest welcome and the most lasting
favor. Two of the very latest of this most satisfactory headwear are shown
here, developed in satin. One shows a brim lifting at the side and faced with
black while the body of the hat is satin of a sunny whiteness. There is
no trimming except a pair of black and white wings mounted with a rosette
of feathers. They are out-spread as in light. This hat is so full of style
that is will lend distinction to the plainest of gowns.
One of the new sailors is shown developed in black satin which lies
smooth to the frame. It is finished with a pair of wings simulated in satin
and posed at the back of the hat. The shape is graceful with an elongated
crown and a very slight droop to the brim.

VANITY CASES OF ODD DESIGN
Manufacturers Have Devised Many
New ideas for This Indispens
able Appendage.
The vanity case has become so
much a part of a woman's outfit that
the manufacturers are discovering
many odd ways for her to carry it.
To take one's powder puff and lip
rouge from one's handbag has become
commonplace; now a woman can tuck
these in her bracelet. One of the new
kind has flexible links of gold wire,
with the vanity box on top in the
shape of an oval medallion with a
handsome monogram.
Or she can wear it around her neck
as a sautoir. Fascinating vanity pend
ants are shown of all styles and
prices, from tiny ones of French jew
elry to diamond studded boxes no
bigger than a child's locket. Among
the most popular of the vanity cases
for the neck are those of colored Rus
sian enamel on a linked chain to
match.
Again, one may carry a vanity box
on the end of the parasol, or as the
head of a big hatpin, disguised as a
charm for her chatelaine, or even set
in one of the big buttons that orna
ment her corsage draperies. One
girl, who wore a watch on the back
of one ridlng glove, had set in the
other a small vanity case ready for
instant use when she dismounted. An
other girl has a similar case in the end
of her crop.
The new opera bags include a van
ity box, and those that do not may be
supplied with them by small pockets
sewed to the interior of them.
VEIL ADDS MUCH TO EFFECT
Selection of Material and its Adjust
meat Are Matters of the Utmeost
Importance.
One reason why the French woman
-aristocrat or bourgeois-invariably
looks so smart, is because of the care
with which she selects and puts on
her veil. Just now she is wearing
with her tailored-hat a complexion veil
of fesh-colored lae manle which,
from a short distance does a show
at all, ad which makes her sin seem
of dassmn fairness. On this veil, in
the center of a threadlike ower spray
or leafst pattern in self tone, is em
broidered a "beauty" spat i black,
and the strip of auss is adjusted so
that the spot strikes the fae whereve
it moet becomes It-o one heeek, on
the chia or at one orner of the mouth.
This complexion veil, like many of
those in al-ove shelle-dotted or
mall beasago mesh or n flower e
tfs or Irregular mesh, is drawn close
