The unfor tunate man, who, a need scarcely bo explained, had suddenly gone mad, wa taken to the aide-de-camp" room, where he beguiled the time by joking with the officers about his will, which he preceeded to draw up In vers. with little rhyme and lees reason, finally, a police commissary, who had been hastily summoned, drove up In a car riage, ami took the poor man off to the hospital. A few minute after wards the Naval Prefect was presiding at the. meetlug as cool and collected as If nothing of an unpleasant charac ter had happened.

French Capital Likes Yankee Diplo mats Anyhow, for They Arc So Witty and Entertaining. PARIS. March 23. (Special.) My ron T. llerrlck. the new American Am bassador to Paris, is assured a cordial welcome In this city. Ills reputation as .a clever and genial man' of the world and ns a brilliant lawyer has already preceded him. Mrs. llerrlck is also described as ono of the most distinguished wonien In the States. Paris takes with particular kindness to American Ambassadors, who are in variably the best type of virile public men across the Atlantic. Generally possessed of great wealth and having wives with social gifts, these diplo matic representatives ore distinguished for their unofficial activity. The Km. I bassy house in the Rue Francois Is the center of the American life of Paris, I the rallying point for a dozen enter i prises for the good of the Yankee citizen abroad. American shops and institutions oc cupy the best sites on the Boulevards. and American dollars obtain for their owners the best hotel accommodation In the city Hotels. Indeed, lire built now on the American plan. The result Is loss In "atmosphere," but a gain in sanitation. American Ambassadors, by their open hospitality and readiness to serve their countrymen In every capacity the Em bassy has the look sometimes of a tourists' office obtain an influence which extends far bevond the diplo matic field. The old idea that the diplomat was a species of spy, charged with sending secret Information to his country, has entirely departed under the daylight methods of Uncle Sam's emissary. Ability to make an amus ing after-dinner speech and to wheedle around the tariff is of more account In this new game of diplomacy than the most Machlavellan tortuousness or Blsmarcklan iron-f istedness. , As a matter of politics, there is no reason why France and America should not be on tho best of terms. They have no quarrel, nor are they likely to have one, except over boots or per fume or some other article of trans Atlantic exchanges. Statues to I.afay etto adorn the city, and a faint, ro mantic aroma still clings to the former abiding place of Paul Jones. American artists abound and carry off many of the popular suffrages of the Salon; the "Quarter'' swarms with the sons and daughters of Columbia, lnarning everything from poker work to paint ing, and American singers make con stant debuts at the Opera. This points to an amazing activity, to a formidable, penetrating and ever Increasing American invasion. In which the American Ambassador is the standard-bearer.

But they were not to be allowed thus to perish. Policemen and neighbors determined on an energetic effort to save them from a terrible death. No time was to be lost, as the fire had spread to that very wing. The rescue party broke through the door, removed the furni ture, which bad been placed behind It, and bore the seven devoted nuns, who were already half-suffocated, out of the burning building Into the street. A few moments more and help would have come too late. BRIBERY "TRAP" DENIED WITNESS INDIGNANT AT MEN TION OF CHARGE. New Zealand Elects New Premier. WELLINGTON". N. 7... March 2?.
