A HoT-TEMPERED FRENCHMAN.
Admiral Gcrvais RebuSed for Insult
ing Members of u COmmi ssiOn.

PARIS, Feb 3.-The first meeting of the
commission appointed to inquire into the
state of the French navy resulted in ser1-
Gus disturbance that was the subject of a
Cabinet inquiry. The commission was ap-
pointed to investigate the disclosures
brought to light by NM. Clemenceau,
Lockroy and others, recently, through the
public press and in the Chamber Of Depu-
ties the substance of the charges being
that the French navy is in a state of gross
inefficiency and that the coast of France
is practically defenseless in case of war
with England or any other maritime
power. Among the members of the COM
mission was Admiral Gervaise, who COM
manded the French fleet that visited Cron-
stadt some time ago and who is said to
have arranged with the Car the prelimi-
naries of the Franco-Russian entente,
which were cemented by the Russian fleet
last fall.
1t was noticed that Admiral Gervais was
somewhat excited during the preliminary
discussions and introductions of the mem
bers of the commission; but the members
were astounded when the Admiral upon
being introduced to NJ. Pierre Gueysse,
formerly marine engineer, a member of
the commission, and the Chamber of Depu-
ties, refused to shake hands with him.

THE IRREPRESSIBLE PAT"
How an Irishman Aroused the Blood of
Blarsted Britisher.

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-One of the pas
senger elevator men In the Treasury De-
partment is a raw-boned Irishman who
carried gun in defense of his country's
flag third of a century ago. He is an in
tense American and, of course, does not
relish the encroachments upon our princi-
pies of British systems. This old Irishman
was tickled last week when one of his own
blood whipped "a bloody Britisher'' down al
Jacksonville. The next morning, just after
he had carried up the Secretary of the
Treasury, two sapient Englshmen who
had evidently come over to see the fight
and expected their fellow-citizen to whip
our countryman, entered the elevator The
first thing that caught their attention was
the electric fan which, in summer time.
cools the hot heads of the politicians who
visit the department.
And what is that, pray you, sir?' in
quired one of the foreigners, with the Gus
tomary accent. which CRATES upon the ears
OF q loyal Irishman.
Electric fan, sor,' replied the elevator
man.
Just as the lift reached the Sccretary's
floor the Englishman's curiosity broke
forth in "a request that the fan be made
to go, so that he could see how 1t worked.
The Irishman turned the current on and
the fan whirred away for n minute or two.
After a few moments OF silence, when the
fan had stopped running. and in the absence
OF anything more to say, the elevator man
observed. just as the passengers were step
ping out:
But this fan is not great as the one
which run down at Jacksonville, yeSter
day"
And how was that?" inquired the in
quisitive Engllshman.
"Well sor this fan cannot knock the
wind out of an Englishman. while the one
at Jacksonville yesterday knocked all the
breath out of one bloody Britisher in less
than three rounds"
The blood rushed to the face of the de-
scCndant of John Bull Quick as a fash
he dropped the monocie from his eye. and.
like a flash. sprang toward the elevator.
He. no doubt, intended TO resent the twit.
But the old Irishman was too quick for
him. With a smile he slammed the door.

lion or ten is a question that only those in

He was in receipt OF a very large income
for years. and he made excellent invest
mefts in many ways. But while his income
was so large. his expenditures also were
great. especially so in support OF educa-
fi0nal and charitable institutions and indi-
rect charities. The profit from the publica-
tfOn OF the Ledger IS said TO have averaged
as high as 81 600 a day. A large Interest IN

STANDS Tor a proverb.-Philadelphia Record.
The announcement of the death of George
w: Childs will be received with profound
grlef by those who stood near to him; who
knew, admired and loved him. All who
knew him did admire and love him, for his
life was a prolonged benefaction. 1t was
the highest. sincerest realization of that
spirit OF charity, OF that spirit OF peace
and good will toward men which makes
manhood most noble and admirable. To
others who stood further apart from him,
good that he did, the influence of which
was so potent and extended, the announce
ment t Of his death will seem scarcely So less
made charity the cheerful duty and the
daily beauty OF his life: He lived, not for
maxim of his life was to be just The DOM
mating action ''be helpful" and no
man was SO helpful as he.-Philadel-
pllld IuDllc Ledger.
The life of George w. Childs is like a
rOmance-a romance with many lessons.
Alone and almost penniless at the age Of
twelve years he stood at the bottom of the
ladder and looked up. His youthful eye
caught something at the top, and slowly
with firm grip and careful step, he made
the ascent that would have seemed impos-
sible to many another He worked and
won; he liked for others TO share his sue
cess. until all over the world the name OF
George w. Childs is known as that of
a liberal philanthropist and upright
business man. IF the record of my life"
wrote he on one occasion, has any value,
1t is in showing that at least it is not neces-
sary 20 success in business that man
should indulge in sharp practices Again
he said: Il have derived and still find the
greatest pleasure in my life in doing good
10 others" These two sentences alone tell
the history of one whose loss the world
mourns.-Philadelphia Press.
There are few men whose lives better
illustrate the possibilities of preferment in
a country like this where success is not
dependent upon Inheritance, than that of
Mr.. Childs. The annals of the many men
of modern history who have risen from
obscurity and small beginnings to promir
nence or fortune do not furnish any rec
ord more striking nor events more inter-
esting than the career of this Philadelphia
newspaper publisher whose name is so
familiar.-Philadelphia Times
