HE OBEYED ORDERS.

An Amusing Anecdote Of the Late French,
| Admiral Jaureguiberrv.
Vice-Admiral Jaureguiberry. who
died recently. was reputed to be the
most courteous naval officer In Euro
pean waters. While in command OF
the Mediterranean squadron he be-
came famous for his courtly treatment
Of women. Whenever his flagship. the
Richelieu, came to anchor of q large
town on the southern French or east
Italian coast. half Of the titled women
in the neighbOrhood usually went on
board to let the Vice-Admiral say nice
things to them and show them what q
flagship was like. Some time ago.
while the Richelieu was ut anchor near
Nice. the Vice-Admiral's popularity
among Italian women reached its cl;-
max. Almost daily two or three par
ties OF social bellies visited the flag
ship. From three o'clock till six
every afternoon the Vice-Admiral was
busy serving coffee. kissing hands and
showing of his flagship to the four
uuuurcO Vi NlCS
After this sort Of thing had been in
progress several weeks. the Minister
Of the Navy turned up in Nice for his
summer vacation. He disapproved Of
the Vice-Admiral's almost exclusive
devotion to the pretty women of the
city. He told the Vice. Admiral so
several times in diplomatic language.
but the Vice-Admiral was too polite
to pass along to his fair admirers
the Minister'S hints that they
were playing ducks and brakes
with the discipline Of the Mediter-
ranean squadron. The afternoon no.
ceptions on the Richelieu continued
with undated popularity. The Minis
ter Of the Navy became very impatient.
Eventually he determined to cure the
women of their fondness for visiting the
Vice-Admiral. rs he could not euro
him OF his fondness for receiving them.
One afternoon while an Italian Count
ess and her two friends were drinking
coffee on the Richelieu the vice-Ad.
miral was unexpectedly ordered by
marine signals. made from the shore
at the Minister'S instance. to weigh
anchor ut once and without any pre-
vious communication with the city to
proceed to Marseilles. The Countess
and her friends were in despair. They
begged to be sent ashore. With all
his gallantry. however. the Vice-Ad-
miral was thoroughbred sailor. He
did not dare disObey his explicit Or
ders. The Richelieu sailed almost inn
mediately for Marseilles with the coffee
party intact. Two days later the three
Italian women returned to Nice by rail
from the French seaport. Every ono
was gossiping about their temporary
elopement with the vice-Admiral. The
notoriety OF their adventure accom-
plished the Minister'S purpose. AL
though the Vice Admiral remained the
most courteous and courtly OF naval
officers up 10 the day OF his death.
comparatively few women who had
heard OF the predicament Of the Count
ess and her two friends dared 10 visit
his flagship TO learn how nice he was.

the Death Roll
JoHNsTowN, Pa, June 6.-The broken
dam, where the terrible Conemaugh dis.
aster had its beginning, is receiving at.
tention now that the first thrills OF hor.
ror over the catastrophe itself have in
some measure begun to subside.
Numbers of correspondents and others
have visited the dam, and no one who
has seen it confirms the stories Of its
elab crate structure and fine masonry
which have been told in different quar-
ters. Indeed, the general verdict OF
thes visitors seems to be that there was
no masonry there. The dam is declared
to have been merely heap of mud,
faced with rough stones and filed in
somewhat with shale.
The sIuiceways Closed.
Years ago, when the reservoir back of
the dam was used as a feeder to the
Pennsylvania canal, the dam was in bet
ter shape, and it is said that there were
elrricavvava which ro41ld readily he ofQnad
SO as to relieve the reservoir If the press
ure of water became too great.
These sluices had been kept closed by
the South Fork Fishing club since they
came INTO possession of the place, IN or
der that the game fish might not escape
to the river below.
Experts have declared that had these
extra sluices been kept in order and OPP
Grated there is no room to doubt that the
terrible calamity in the Conemaugh val
ley could have been averted.
The Dam Improperly Planned.
Not only do those who have visited
the dam declare that its material was in.
sufficient, but they also assert that il
was not lined out ON an improved basis
Of engineering. There was no attempi
to give it extra strength by curvature
It's 400 feet of length stretched straight
across the end OF the gap.
When the water made its way
through the dam it formed q ragged
break 200 feet in eqtent, going way tC
the bedrock. This made a flood wave
200 feet wide by IS feet deep.
1t is little wonder that nothing above
that fatally stanch railway bridge could
be found to resist such a torrent
