PARIS, July 1.-THE Figaro reporter
who wrote the alleged interview with
United States Ambassador Eustis, which
has caused so much comment, has ad-
dressed letter to The Temps, in whic
journal Mr. Eustls denied the interview,
stating that he was introduced to Mr..
Eustis by Henry VIgnaud, secretary to
the United States embassy, on May 10 as
an author. He says that he conyersed with
Mr.. Eustls for three quarters of an hour,
and wrote and published the interview
Immediately afterwards. The writer con-

know that he was talking to a journalist

POPULAR JOE JEFFERSON.
Success Has Done Good to This Gentleman
of the Old School,

Success Has Done Good to This Gentleman
of the Old School.
Now and then you see Joseph jefferson
in New York at tho Players club or about
town, and delightful character that old
man is. That he Is the most popular man
yet on the stage, as man, aside from his
position as an actor, Is undoubted. 1t may
be that 1t Is his impersonation of that fine
old vagabond Rip Van Wrinkle that makes
one admire him, or it may be the person
ality of the man. But, at any rate, you
like him when you meet him. The friends
Of Mr.. Jefferson's manhood have for the
most part passed away. Booth and Wal
lack and Barrett, the splendid McCul-
Tough. 1t may be that Jefferson has con-
served his forces botter than did the
others. He never had the drinking habits
of Booth and Mccullough, and physically
he was not SO weak as Barrett and somo
other men, SO he has outlasted them.
1t would seem after all that mans
temperament has good deal to do with
his success, and Jefferson's is a happy one
Success has done him good, as 1t docs not
some men. 1t Is pleasant to see the old
actor In any social gathering. Every actor
Is not gentleman, any more than every
gentleman is an actor. But Joseph Jeffer-
son Is gentleman always, on or off the
stage. Not the Beau Brummel sort of
gentleman or the modern sort who wears
wide trousers, ohews gum, sneers at his
mother and says things about the fit of his
fathers clothes.
1t Is relief to meet gentleman OF the
old school now and again, one Of the sort,
don't you know, that Thaokoray drew in
Colonel Esmond. Joseph Jefferson lie
about as good type of the old school gen.
tloman as you can find, and in these days,
when tho new man and the now woman
are running things, 1t is well to go back
to old ideals.-New York Letter.

THE SAILOR WHO NEVER CAME BACK.
And tho Lonely Old Lady Who Waits For
the Sea to Give Up Its Dead.

the Sea to Give Up Its Dead.
A correspondent of The Six Towns
Times has found pathetic story in the
town Of Windham. Some time between
the years 1919 and 1914 the privateer Dash
sailed away from Portland one of tho
sailors on board being Nat II. Of Wind
ham. No tidings were ever again received
from the craft, but one night after long
and weary waiting on the part of Mats
relatives his father woke the household
with piercing cry: "Nat has gonel Nat
has gonep' When he was fairly awaken
ed, he said he had had terrible dream, In
which he saw a ship going down in
whirlpool, and on the deck, wildly visible,
his son Nat who, with others, seemed to
be imploring aid from heaven Round
and round went tho vessel, each circle
bearing them nearer the dreadful vortex,
He watched the vision until the ship was
whirled out of sight, and then it was he
sent forth the heartrending cry: MAT is
gonei Nat Is gonel'
This writer also vividly recalls a visit
go years ago to the lady to whom Nat was
betrothed when he sailed away so many
years ago. Her knitting was on her lap,
and her thin, wrinkled hands were idle
above 1t. Her sightless eyes, full Of un-
shed tears-for she was homesick and
weary and out Of place-were turned to-
ward the sunlight that threw its slanting
beams through the open west window,
where the soft air came drifting in, sweet
with tho breath Of roses. II had been
reading to her, +" he says, ''from the Reve-
lation of st. John the Divine, and when I
read Tho sea gave up the dead which were
In it., she laid her trembling hand on my
arm with tender touch. Wait a bit, she
said in voice trembling with emotion;
wait a bit, and read it again, deary, be-
fore you go on. God grant may see him
once more when the sea shall give up its
dead, and there shall be no more sea. -
