The islander. [volume] (Friday Harbor, Wash.) 1891-1899, 1897-11-18

Our Roche Harbor correspondent last
week gave some of the circumstances
connected with the arrest of two young
men from this county on Saturna ISL
and, B. c., by Canadian officers and
their return to this side for trial for
burglary and theft committed on Stuart
island, and remarked that considerable
surprise was expressed at Roche Har-
Dor that they should have been "let
off" so easily on their trial here.
Without any disposition to criticise the
good intentions of the prosecuting off,
Ger or the justice before whom the Of
tenders had their hearing and entered
their plea of guilty." THE ISLANDER
takes the liberty to express the opinion
that the "surprise" referred to is not
without cause. BY reason of their con-
fession of guilt and the saving to the
county effected by thus avoiding the
necessity Of a trial, the punishment
might very properly have been made
tighter than it would otherwise have
merited. But The ISLANDER does not
believe in making any compromise
with crime for the sake Of effecting q
nominal saving to the state or county.
It is "penny-wise and pound-foolish "
policy that inspires such a..false econ
omy. These offenders confessed in the
presence of credible witnesses at Roche
Harbor that they were not only guilty
of larceny but Of burglary. 1t doesn't
matter in the least that it was q poor
mans house or cabin that they broke
into in the night time instead OF the
San Jaun County bank, the postofice
or some big store or handsome resi-
sdence. The poorest settler in the
county Is entitled to just as much pro-
lection from the law against thieves
and burglars as the richest citizen. But
as a matter of fact neither the poor man
nor the rich man can feel that degree
of security In his possessions which the
law is intended to assure, so long as
such a serious Offense as burglay is par
TALLY copdoned for the sake Of saving
expense to the county" In this par
ticular case the attorney and justice
simply followed long-established Gus
tom, nos alone in this county but in
many others. Their good intentions
are above criticism but the custom is
not. The opportunities for thievery
are 40 good in this county and petty
robberies are so frequent and arrests
aud convictions 80 infrequent that
whenever a case comes up like the one
under consideration the lawless ele-
pent should be shown by the sentence
imposed that it is no light Ofense to
break into any mans house or other
buildings for purposes OF theft, no mat
ter what is stolen. The two young
marauders who are now serving their
light sentence here may well congratu-
late themselves that they were brought
to this side for trial instead Of being
"sent up" for seven years from Vic.
toria merely for bringing their plumber
into Canada.

Washfngton's Latest Lion.

Seifeddin Bey, the new secretary of
the Turkish legation, is a pet in Wash
ington society, where he is known as
the Young Greek God" The new IA
vorite is a full-blooded Turk. He GER
tainly is handsome. His features are
very clear-cut and regular and his
dark eyes superb, non the less so for
the fact that they look rather contemp-
tuously at the fashionable maidens
who show none Of the coyness in vogue
in the harem. 1t may be that the girls
are SO used to admiration that this
very superciliousness adds to his
charms. His skin is of the clearest
olive and his mouth curved like
a veritable Cupid's bow. S%eifeddin
Bey wears ordinary civilian dress,
with the notable exception of his hat,
whcich is a fez. He is of medium
height and carries himself very well.
He is a nohleman. Rather an anus
ing story is told about the young
Turk. When he first arrived in Wash
iEgton he stood in great need of an
English teacher.
"A AiACAu puI I'LL 1uLO COIQLluQlCd-
ton with a young woman who was
seeking pupils. She was pretty and
belonged to an excellent family. Sci
feddin Bey was quite delighted to find
SO pleasing a teacher. Terms were
agreed upon and all went we'll until he
suggested that the young lady should
come to his apartments to give the les
sens. She told him this would not be
possible. When pressed for a reason
she admitted that it would not be con-
sldered proper. Not proper!r' cried
he now secretary in amazement. II

MONSIEUR DE PARIS.
Retiring French Executioner Has Gull
lotined 500 Persons.

Retiring French Executioner Hos Guile
lotined 500 Persons.
The man in France who has probably.
killed more human beings than any
other person in the world is NJ. deb
Ter, popularity known as Monsieur de
Paris, and he is about to resign his
office as the public executioner OF
France with a record of 500 official
deaths to his credit. He is very old,
his hand trembles, and his extensive
services should give him the right of
rest. His achievements are known to
all. He has dealt more than 500
wounds, all of which have been fatal,
but not for him. Lately it was noticed
that he has become enfeebled; he had
no longer the skill, the smartness OF
his youth. At his 5O2d execution at
Nancy, the other day, he very nearly
bungled the ceremony, and the people
OF that province are very particular.
In a few days, possibly even tomorrow,
the grewsome identity of Monsieur de
Paris will have fallen upon another
than Mr.. Diebler, who will retire from
the world, known simply as IN. Nor
eau" a good, honest citizen, living on
a small yet sufficient income. NJ. deb
Ter has been an executioner for thirty
eight years. From 1858 to 1863 he as
sisted Rech, his predecessor, in eighty
two executions, and then became exc
c%utioner des hautes oeuvres himself.
He is now 70 years of age. If such a
term be permissible, it may be said
that he is the most popular bourreau
that France ever had, and he has very
seldom been placed in an embarrassing
position on the scaffold. In personal
appearance, NJ. Diebler has been an
ideal Monsieur de Paris" with his
black beard iron gray hair dark mourn
full eyes and pale visage. He always
dresses in black, with long frock coat
and tall silk hat. His domestic life has
been quiet, as might naturally be sup
posed, and his wife, who died a few
months ago, was a delicate, refined and
we'll bred woman, hardly the spouse
that II would expect to find in the
home of Monsieur de Paris" Nine.
Diebler was the daughter of the execu'
ticner Of Algiers.

skirt the river from the Mcqui desert
to the Needles. He trailed away to
Gold Bug, seven miles away from Ell
Dorado, and went to the cabin CT Judge
J. NJ. Morton. There he asked for and
obtained shelter and food. He was

years had p passed since he had executed

Morton gave him food and a bed, and
