Stephens, the well-known Atlanta lawyer who has twice been a candi date for the court of appeals, with a large vote each time, Is again a candidate for >a place on the bench, and has addressed an interesting let ter to his fellow lawyers of the state, requesting them to support him on the strength of his claim based upon the treatment he received in the last Ma con convention. Mr Stephens shows that he receiv ed 5,981 votes and was second on the ticket in 191 C, yet the convention nomi nated ether candidates who had re ceived a smaller number of votes >.han than he received.

He asks the lawyers to join with him in rebuking autocratic meth ods, to this end that he shall receive a square deal. XAPOLEON A GERMAN, KADELING HIS NAME! MSTERDAM, May 10—(Associated Press.) Having already claimed Shakespeare as a German, the Berlin newspapers have now discovered that Napoleon Bonaparte was also one of them.
