COMIC CONSPIRACY IN HAITI.
It Amounted to So Little that Not Drop of Blood Had to be Spilled.

According to advices received by Consul General Bassett, representing the Government of Hayti in this country, the conspiracy against President Solomon of that Republic ended in a way that brought only ridicule on the con- spirators. MT. Bassett says that the real head of the conspiracy was Gen. Bougette, although a chronic candidate for the Presidency, named Montmorenci, was to be put forward as fgurehead. Generals Favar and AL phonse Prizeau were interested in it.
 President Solomon got wind of what was going on, and had the men watched Mean time, Gen. Bougette applied to Solomon for a place in the Custom House. He was told to go to the Custom House on certain day and that Solomon would meet him there. Prizeau and Favar were also corralled in the same place. and then the President and his Ministers, dressed in their robes of office, marched in with great pompt. Bougette was elated. He was sure he was going to get the softest place in the nation, until the President began a speech. Then he learned that all the details of the secret meetings that had been held were known, and that he could be lawfully led forth and shot as traitor.
 The President, MT. Bassett says, concluded that amnesty would be better than lead, and the conspirators walked away free, but very much crestfallen.

Making Her Things Last,

Every bousekeeper knows how careful treatment keeps table linen and house. hold furniture. Girls do not always know or remember that great care of their own little possessions will often enable them to dress nicely on very little money. A lady says: "When was girl there was one of my young friends who was distinguished for making her things last.' HIT dress, hats, glcv:s and ribbous were marvel of durability. used to wonder how she managed to nuke them last so without their looking shabby, but ceased to do so after I had visited her at her own home. The reason why her clothes wore so long was that she took such care of them. Her dresses were brushed and folded away carefully, and the slightest spot on tn ,m was removed as soon as it was discovered. Her hat was wrapped in an old pocket handkerchief, and put away in box as soon as done with, the strings and faces being strai ghtencd and rolled out most svmmctrically each time,
 Her gloves were never folded together. but were pulled out straight and laid flat in box, one upon the other, each time they were used, tho tiniest hole being mended almost before it had time to show itself. But the thing that impressd mo most was the care she bestowed on her ribbons. When making up bows she used to line the upper part of the ribbon with white paper, and this not only pre- vented the ribbon from becoming limp and creased but kept it clean, so that when the bow was soilcd on one side she could turn the ribbon, and the part that had been covered came out looking new and fresh. That girl married and brought up large family. Her husband had to fight his way, and did so bravely, and was unusually successful, for he became wealthy. But his prosperity was due quite as much to his wife's care and economy in saving money as was to his ill making it.

Tho Department Women.

There are 4OOO women in the govern ment departments at Washington, and among them are some of the best looking and most intelligent ladies of the capi- taL They come, as rule, from good families. Many of them are the widows of noted generals, the daughters of ex- Governors and ex-Congressmen, and now and then you will find the relative of a President or Cabinet Minister. Many of them have travelled widely and the great majority are educated and refined ladies. They do all kinds of work and receive salaries ranging from $720 to $500 year. As money counters they are much more expert than the men, and the rapidity with which they can count thousands upon thousands of dollars without making mistake makes your brain whirl as you watch them. These money counters get about $75 a month,
 and they count millions of dollars every month. At one side of each one on the table lie great piles of greenbacks, done into packages as they come from the press. am speaking now of the rcdemp- tion bureau of the Treasury. These bills are old and dirty. The strip of paper around each package of 100 bills states where they came from and who counted them in the country. The young lady takes this off, and, moistening her fingers with wet sponge in front of her, she counts the bills like lightning, and if the package is not right she reports to the chief, and the banks from which the bills come must stand the loss. The girls seldom make mistake, and if they do so or pass counterfeit without noting it they must make the mistake good, and tho amount is taken out of their salary

WHAT IS GOING ON AT HOME AND
 ABROAD.
THE PRESIDENTS WARNING.
Office Holders Must Not Use Their
 Positions to Control Politics.

WASHINGTON, July IS, 1SS6.-The following executive order was issued by the President this afternoons:
 To THE HEADS OF DEPARTMENTS IN THE SER
 VICE OF THE GENERAL GOVERNMENT:
 I deem this proper time to especially warn all subordinates in the several departments and all office-holders under the general gov ernment against the use of their official posi- tions in attempts to control political move ments in their localities. Office-holders are the agents of the people, not their masters. Not only are their time and labor due to the government, but they should scrupulously avoid in their political action as well as in the discharge of their official duty offending by display of obtrusive partlsanshlp their neigh bors who have relations with them as public officials. They should also constantly remem- Der that their party friends, from whom they have received preferment, have not invested them with the power of arbitrarily managing the political affairs. They have no right as office-holders to dictate the political action of their party associates or to throttle freedom of action within party lines by methods and prac tices which pervert every useful and justifable purpose of party organization. The influence of federal office-holders should not be felt in the manipulation of party primary meetings and nominating conventions.
 The use by these officials of their positions to compass their selection as delegates to polit- ical conventions is indecent and unfair, and proper regard for the proprieties and require ments of official place will also prevent their assuming the active conduct of political cam paigns. Individual interest and activity in political affairs are by no means condemned. Office-holders are neither disfranchised nor forbidden the exercise of political privileges, but their privileges are not enlarged nor is their duty to party increased to pernicious ac- tivity by office-holding. A just discrimination in this regard between the things a citizen may properly do and the purposes for which public office should not be used is easy, in the light of correct appreciation of the relation between the people and those intrusted with official place, and consideration of the neces- sity under our form of government of political action free from official coercion. You are requested to communicate the substance of these views to those for whose guidance they are intended. GROVER CLEVELAND.

TERROR AND DEATH.
A Whole Village Suffering from an Epidemic-Flying from Pestilence

MILWAUKEE, Wis.,, July 13, 1ss6.--The pleas ant little village of Waterford, Racine county, is just now scene of terror and death from an epidemic of typhoid fever. Nearly fifty people in population of less than five hundred are either sick or dying from the scourge. The disease was brought to the village by young man named Barney Running, who was employed in this city. Coming down with fever, he was sent home. Opposite the Running home stead is Catholic school of eighty scholars, who use water from the Hu1nings we'll for drinking purposes. It is believed that the cpl demic started from the use of this water, which is said to have been contaminated by the cleansing of vessels used in the sick room near by. Soon after drinking the water a number of the children were taken with the fever, which spread to others, until tenth part of the village was stricken. Hardly house was without its attendant physician. The schools were soon closed and business places followed suit.
 The place is now deserted except by the sick, the physicians and nurses. Every, effort is be- ing made to stay the plague, but thus far with out success.
