THE ADMIRAL AND THE BEY
Diplomatic story in which a Lion and
n Pair Of Pistols Figure.

a show of force is often the best kind
of diplomacy. A writer In n Paris news
paper tells a story of the French Ad-
miral Dupe it-Thouars who had been
entrusted with the Mission of exactins
reparaton from an African hey who had
insulted a French consul. AS Dupetit-
Thouars's demands were supported by
the forceful argument of loaded cannon,
the hey acknowledged that he had been
too hasty and proffered profuse apollo
gies. He even invited the admiral to his
table and had sumptuous repast pre-
pared for his guest. The consul warned
the admiral to be on his guard
The hey Is inclined to be malicious"
said he. land when he strokes his beard
and smiles YOU may be sure that he is
concocting some mischief"
We shall see" was Dupetit-Thouars'
reply.
lie reached the bey's palace in good
time. Profuse compliments and saluta-
tons were exchanged. All at once the
admirals foot met some soft, hairy sub
stance lying on the carpet under the Ia
bic. He bent down and saw a huge lion
showing his formidable teeth. The hey
smiled and stroked his beard.
Dupetit -Thouars did not vince, but
called his dragoman.
My pistols, was all he said.
The servant saluted retired and
brought back a pair of pistols on a silver
tray. The admiral took them and placed
them on the table before him. but tho
hey still smiling. continued TO stroke
his patriarchial beard.
Tell the commander" he said 70 the
dragoman, that II those pistols are for
the purpose Of blowing out my lions
brains they are quite insufficient and
perfectly uselecs."
Then. like skilled fencer counterng
his opponents thrust. after the hey 3
| ironical advice had been translated. Du-
petit-Thouars replied:
Tell his highness that my pistols are
not there to kill his lion but TO blow
his own brains out at the first movement
Of this Objectionable carpet"
Gravely but little pale the man IN
terpreted. The smile died away on tho
bey's lips and he no longer stroked his
| beard.
MY lion said he. IS too well trained
even to scratch one of my guests. but
/ since he is not wanted he shall he sent
away"
/ At word from the hey the lion slow
/ l.; and heavily left the room like an
obedient dog

PATRICK APPEAL DENIED.

Sentence

New YORK. June 4.-Albert T. Patrick's
appeal for liberty or death was denied
by the appellate division of the Supreme
Court Of Brooklyn to-day. Patrick had
appealed to the court for a hearing on
writ of haheas corpus which he had
obtained from an individual justice OF
the supreme court ordering the prosecut-
ing officers to show cause why he should
not he released from prison or be put 10
death for the murder of William Marsh
Rice. In support of the writ Patrick
several weeks ago made sensational
personal appeal to the appellate division
in which he declared the communication
Of his death sentence 10 that Of life
imprisonment by Governor Higgins con-
s'ituted the imposition OF sentence
worse than death.
Patrick also attacked the legality Of
his conviction on tho ground of con-
spracy. All the justices of the appellate
division to-day concurred in Diminishing
the writ of habcas corpus. The court
sustained the judgment Of conviction and
communication Of sentence to life i'm
prisonment and ordered Patrick to be re-
mnnded to Sing Sing prison.
In the opinion of tho court. which
was written by Justice jerks. the
most striking paragraph was one hold
ing that the degree Of punishment is
not determined by the preference Of
tho convict" This was in answer to
Patrick's declaration that life impris-

death. The opinion says in part

POLLUTION OF STREAMS.

The committee on the "Pollution
Of Streams" appointed last year.
Of which Alec ". Seymour. sec
rotary of the New york state
department Of health is chair
man. to-day presented its report to
the meeting Of the stat and provin-
cial boards Of health Of North Amcri-
ca. The other members of tho commit
toe arc Dr. Chas O. prohst. secretary
Of the Onto state board Of health and
DIR. H. u. Holton, secretary Of the
Vermont State board of health.
Studies of conditions all over the
United States and reports of state
health departments show that there
have been many cpidemics of typhoid
fever directly due to this practice.
That in many cases public nuisances
have been caused and that many of
the waters of the various states are
rendered unfit for domestic and man
ufacturnC purposes. Fish life has been
destroyed and the waters ruined for
boating, bathing and fishing ana rem
dercd Objectionable and obnoxious in
Other WAYS
The report shows that during tho
past few wears many laws have been
passed dealing with this subject. but
that the legislative activity has not
kept pace with tho needs.
WORK IN VARIOUS STATES.
Taking up the work that has been
done In the various states and the
conditions existing, and reviewing
them. the committee shows that the
question is one Of widespread import
ance, with which the various state
Iu ce Of
been deeply concerned.
Massachusetts has studied the sub
1ect carefully. Tho work of their State
board OF health Is most excellent.
In New Jersey there are "a sewage
publication plants installed and their
policy is to allow no untreated sew
age to he discharged into the waters
OF the state. Twenty-Five places are
now under orders to install sewage
publication plants. and all municipal
files and individuals dscharEing raw
sewage into the Delaware river are
I under orders to cease doing SO.
Ohio has an excellent law. The state
board of health with the approval Of
! the Governor and the attorney gene
raj has ordered sewage disposal works
to be installed in four cities. Marked
! progress has been made in Ohio in the
freeing OF their streams from pollu-
+ tion.
Tho California State Board Of Health
is constantly working in the cities and
towns to purify the sewage. but II is
stated that their streams are so large
that the dilution in most cases prevents
serious nuisance being caused. Their
principal objection Is against sewage be-
ing allowed into the streams and they
haven't thoroughly awaked to the neces-
sity OF prohibiting the rapidly increas-
ing population OF the State to further
pollute their waters.
IN Florida II IL stated that many towns

titles discharge into tidal waters.
In Maryland 1t Is found that the city
