CAREER OF JEAN RICHEPIN.
He Is the Hero of Great Number Of
Strange Escapndes.

He Is the Hero of "a Great Number of
Strange Escapades
From the Westminster Gazette.
M. Jean Richepin, the author of the
play of which Ragged Robin" pro-
duced last night at Her Majesty's, is an
ada ptation, is probably the hero of a
greater number of strange escapades
than any Of his French contemporaries
OF equal eminence. Innumerable stories
are told of his early vagaries For
breach of the regulations, he was sent
down" from his Lycee. He remained
however, in the neighborhood of the
college, and, strolling idly about the
streets next day, his eye lit upon a
peripatetic vendor of fried potatoes
and In moment of inspiration he pur-
chased the whole of the stock and
paraphernalia Of the merchant. He then
took up a post just outside the Lycee
gates affixed to his movable apparatus
a notice of huge dimensions, describing
his academic and other qualifications,
and shouted to all his late collegiate
friends to patronize their old pupil and
fellow student. 1.-TWO sous a packet.
gentlemen; buy, buy!'' To say that the
authorities were scandaliZed is to put
lit very mildly, indeed.
The story of how he came to adopt
literary career is sufficiently pic
turesaue. For some time he had pick
ed up precarious livelihood by doing
odd jobs" including such prosaie oc-
equations as that of bootblack and
casual porter on the Quai Marseilles.
One day he was engaged by a gentle
man to carry to the railway station

there was an instant mutual recogni-
ton. They We're old college chums.
What are you doing here?" asked his
friend. Carrying your trunk, 1 be-
lieve." said Jean. why do you do
this?" Because I must" "Where do
YOU live?" "Come and see," replied
Richepin.
The future dramatist took his friend
to his dwelling-a miserable room in an
attic in the poorest quarter of the town
Upon the table lay scattered heaps of
manuscripts-Jean's excursions into the
realms Of poetry when the more prosaic
duties of the day were over. Looking
through them, his friend was astound-
ed at their quality. ''Why do you car
ry trunks and blacken boots, when you
can do work like ths?'' he asked.
Richepin had never given the matter
a thought; he had never deemed these
products of idle hours worthy of pub
lication Published they were, how
ever, in very few weeks, and created
an immense sensation. From that mo-
ment Jean Richepin has never looked

If this deal goes through society will have an exclusive play house, and the show street of the me- tropolis will be greatly improved. as the site is now covered by small shops that are anything but picturesque.
 The present national crisis has given an international reputation to three men who, while not previously un- known, had, nevertheless, very re- stricted reputation. They are General Fitghugh Lee, Minister Woodford and Commodore Dewey. It is interesting to note that all three men are over 60 years of age, a time of life not SUD- posed to be favorable Tor the achieve ment of great careers. All three men served with credit in the civil war, and attained positions of considerable honor thereafter, but they had ito wait for another war, in their old age, for the opportunity to achieve distinction on an international scale. In the civil war the reputations were made by comparatively young man. General Grant was only 43 when the war ended.

TORPEDO BOAT SIGHTED.
Warren Liner Meets a Strange Craft
 On the Ocean

Boston, Mass, May 14-A strange warship, believed to be a Spanish tor. pedo boat, was passed off Sable island by the Warren line steamer Roman, which has arrived from Liverpool.
 Captain Roberts states that at neon last Friday, when seventy miles south east from Sable island, or about 600 miles due east of Boston, the second mate, whose watch on deck it was at the time, reported that he had sighted a "lcng, low, rakish craft" about four miles off the steamers beam.
 Captain Roberts immediately came on deck and directed his marine glass on the strange craft He made her out to be a torpedo boat, sharp and low at both ends, with two tunnels close together. She had no masts and showed no flag, evidently trying to conceal her nationality.
 She was steaming under fair head Of steam and was going through the water at the rate of twelve knots an hour, about the same speed that the Roman was then maintaining She continued steaming in the same direc- tion for fully half an hour after she was first sighted by the Romans first officer. and was apparently gaining slightly on the Roman. At this juno ture thick og settled over the ocean, accompanied with rain, and the mys- terious torpedo boat was lost to view.
 Pilot George w. Lawler, who brought the Roman into port, notified Captain Sands, commander of the cruiser Columbia, now in the harbor. Captain Sands dispatched one of his lieutenants in a steam launch to the Roman to obtain full particulars of the mysterious war vessel and he later communicated with the navy depart ment at Washington in regard to the matter.

 Spain has shared. in the movement of naval progress and is far more for midalble in ships and guns than she was in 1864, but not relatively. We have no reason to suppose that her sailors are better though it may be that the use of range finders may inn prove their gunnery. Still, the per sonnel factor will tell, and that is all ways in favor of the American, The Spaniard has never distinguished him self on the sea, where the personal equation is SO important.
