MAD MAN SAVED BY NERVE
Natal Prefect of Toulon Has Excit
ing Experience at Meellnf;.
PAH1S. March 2 J. (Special.) The
Naval Prefect of Toulon has met with
an extraordinary adventure. He was
about to preelde at a meeting of the
chief official of the port, when he
was told that one of them had called
and wished particularly to se lilm
first. The admiral had sufficient )mo
for such a visit, so liie official waa
admitted, but he was scarcely In the
room when lie made the peculiar an
nouncement that h would be ex
tremely obliged if his superior would
telegraph to the Ministry of Marine
to Inform M. Uelcasse that he tendered
his resignation of the post to which he
had only recently been appointed.
The kind - hearted admiral endeav
ored to dlssuado the mun from such a
foolish determination, but Ms argu
ments simply had the effect of ex
asperating the official, who got into
a fury and pulling a big revolver out
or his pocket, aimed at the admiral.
The latter, throwing himself upon the
official, succeeded In wresting the
weapon from til grasp. 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.
DEVOTED NUNS NEAR DEATH
Seven Sisters Saved by Heroic
Work Wlieu Convent Is Destroyed.
PARIS'. March 2. (Special.) There
has been great excitement at Lepuy
owing to a tire which broke out at the
convent of the order of Salnte Claire,
situated In the poorest district of the
town. Although the order has been
dissolved. sven of the oldest nuns
were allowed to remain. There is a
strict rule that no man shall be per
mitted to enter its doors, and so when
the flames burst out the good sisters,
after a vain attempt to combat them,
took refuge In the dormitory, which
was still untouched, barricaded them
selves in it. and calmly awaited their
fate. 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.
