WASHINGTON1, Dec. 30.-Never
tas the completness of the immunity
fruited members of the Diplomatic
Corps at the American Capital been
better exemplified than by a recent
occurence which has set the inner
circle of Washington society in a
whirl of Bossiping excitement. Be
cause one of the men concerned in
the affair happened to be a diplomat,
an effort has been made to hush the
matter up, the police have been call
ed off and the local press has let the
matter drop. And this notwithstand
ing the fact that a man was myster
iously and seriously wounded on one
of the most fashionable streets of
the city.
According to the story, a colored
man stopped a gentleman in eve
ning dress and fashionably gowned
woman about nine o'clock one even
jug recently in New Hampshire ar
enue and asked his way to another
part Of the city. The answer of the
gentleman in evening dress was to
draw a revolver and shoot the negro
down.
The man who did the shooting and
his richly-attired companion have
never been located or officially iden
tified, although they stopped for half
an hour after the affair in a fashion
able apartment house near the scene
of the shooting and talked to the
clerk there.
This is the story, so far as made
public by the authorities. But from
other sources it was learned that the
man was a diplomat from one of the
South American republics and that
the woman with him was the wife of

an army officer and prominent in so
ciety here; that her husband, becom
ing suspicious of the attentions show
ered upon his wife by the diplomat,
had hired the colored man to follow
them. This is fcoing the rounds of
diplomatic and exclusive social cir
cles. and will not down.
This immunity from the laws of
Uncle Sam, even though a seriou
offense has been committed, is ex
tended to some two hundred diplo
mats, together with their families
and households in Washington. The
law is very stringent toward an ofu
cer who attempts to arrest or bring
to trial a member of the diplomatic
corps, providing a long term of im
prisonment for the over-aealous of
ficial under the immunity law,
automobile, but this government dip
lomats also are freed from suit for
debt. They may run up bills, if they
see fit. and suddenly leave Washing
ton without the possibility of being
brought to justice. But it must be
said in behalf of the corps, that its
members rarely take advantage of
their immunities; or rather put
themselves in position to take ad
vantage of them. This is due to the
fact that other governments
a rule, select high-class men to rep
resent them in Washington.
A number of eases are on record
of attempts to hold diplomats for
exceeding the speed laws in their
has always hastened to uphold the
international law relating to diplo
matic immunity, and country jus
tices have been in danger of sum
mary nunishment. A year or more
ago a diplomat was assaulted on the
streets of Washington, as by a well
known politician. The trouble arose
over a woman whom the diplomat
was escorting home, and the latter
was stabbed. Although he was ser
iously wounded, the diplomat refused
to press the case against the politic
ian and it was dropped.

ATHLETIC INSTRUCTOR
HAS ARRIVED
CHARLES RIPER WILL TAKE
OVER DUTIES OF A. A. A. A.
FRIDAY.
Athletic Instructor Charles Riper,
the newly appointed manager of the
A. A. A. A. arrived here yesterday
to assume his important post in that
establishment and will take over the
trust officially tomorrow morning. He
is a pleasant young gentleman who
seems to have hu particular cult t
his fingers' ends, as it were, and to
be heartily in -earnest about it. Mr.
Riper has had extended experience tn
athletic matters, being for the past
two years athletic instructor at the
Vancouver barracks, a position de
manding good work from a teacher
in his line, and prior to that service,
he was a successful exponent of his
art, or science, in athletic circles at
Detroit, Michigan.
Mr. Riper desires to meet the jun
ior members, of the A. A. A. A. at
the auditorium on Saturday morning
between the hours of 10 -and 12
o'clock, along with all other boys who
have an intent or desire to join the
association; and in the evening of
the same day, it is his wish to meet
the senior members and all who may
be thinking of joining, at the same
place, from 7 to 9 o'clock. The ladies'
classes he ill arrange fof early in
the coming week.
The coming of Mr. Riper will have
much to do with closing up a lot of
pending negotiations for membership
and his work will undoubtedly draw
heavily on the interest of those not
yet in the athletic fold. The -institution
is in splendid shape and becom
ing more popular every day; and in
a very short time it will be in full
running order, with all classes fixed
and all arrangements made for a fine
career. Good luck to it I
The government has one redress if
diplomats become obnoxious. It may
demand their recall as being non
grata to this country. Frequently this
course has been adopted. Of course,
the same immunity is granted Ameri
can diplomats abroad as are granted
the foreigners here.
SERVICE IN THE CABINET.
Ths Custom of Our Presidents In th
Republic's Early Day.
If President John Adams had been a
man of different temperament the cos
torn might hare been established In
the early years of the government of
the United States of retaining the cab
inet of one aduiluUtratton for service
with Us successor where that succes
sor succeeded to the political Ideas of
Its predecessor. President Adams
sought at first to retain through bis
administration the m4nbers of the
cabinet of President Washington. In
deed, at that early period the status
of, a cabinet officer was not exactly
that of the present time, and tn the
course of President Adams' rows with
the members of his official household
he resorted to the strange step of re
moving his secretary of state, Timo
thy Pickering, and James McHenry,
his secretary of war.
President Jefferson of course took a
new cabinet. President Madison con
tinned In his administration a number
of the cabinet officers of President
Jefferson, and President Monroe held
some of his predecessor's. John Qulncy
Adams also continued to meet about
bis council board some of the advisers
of James Monroe, but Andrew Jackson
began his administration with an en
tirely new set of official counselors.
Tie maintained also another set of ad
visers, unofficial, who became known
as the "kitchen cabinet."
For some time the gentlemen who
bad acted respectively as. secretary of
the treasury, secretary of war, secre
tary vt the nary, pastmurter Knerul
and attorney general In the cabinet of
President Jackson retained their scats
under President Van Buren, but
changes only awaited the passage of
time.
President Willlatn Henry Harrison's
cabinet was brand new, and John Ty
ler sought to keep It together after
Harrison's death, but In less than six
months all hnd renlgned except Dan
iel Webster, the secretary of state.
Presidents Polk, Taylor, Fillmore.
Pierce, Buchanan and Lincoln each
formed a new cabluet.
President Johnson's difficulties with
certain members of the cabinet that
existed ot the death of President Lin
coln are well known. Since that pe
riod, when for the second time In Amer
ican history the question of a cabinet
officer's rlfjlit to retain a seat which
the president wiriies to have vacated
came up :for nnftry controversy, cabi
nets by miitunl bnt tnclt understand

POWER OF WATER.

When a man goes iu swimming at
the seashore uud fclajis ths water forci
bly with Ms bund or tukes a buck dive
from a pier and lamia squarely on his
back he' realists 'that the , unstable
liquid offers not a little reslHttince.
Yet, says a writer In the New York
Tribune, It would surprise almost any
body to see wbut water will do under
certain conditions.
A stream from u nreniau's hose will
knock a uiuu dowu. The Jet from a
nozzle used lu placer mining In the
west eats away a large piece of laud
In a day, toys with great bowlders as
If they were pebbles and would shoot
a man over the country as though be
were a projectile from a cannon.
There is a story of an eastern black
smith who went west and made a bet
that he could knock a bole through
the Jet of one of these nozzles wltb a
sledge hammer. He lifted his urms,
swung the sledge and came down on
the ten inch stream wltb a force that
would have dented an anvil. Hut the
Jet, never penetrated, whisked the
massive bummer out of the black
smith's bauds and. tossed It several
hundred feet away Into the debris of
gold bearing gravel beneath a crum
bling cliff. After this the blacksmith
left out Iron when be spoke of bard
substances.
There Is also a power plant near
Durango, Colo., where a United States
cavalryman one duy thought be bad

valiant attack. The result was that
