black party, but always suspected, We're
discovered during the latter part of May
| to be plotting against Salomon. The
| President issued orders for their arrest
and put the capital under martial law,
and intense excitement prevailed. The
adherents of both parties rapidly armed
themselves, and there was danger of an
outbreak at any moment. The diplo-
matte corps assembled at once and called
on the President, requesting him to re-
call his order of arrest. and, if possible,
make some amicable arrangement. They
then rode through the principal streets
to try and restore confidence, and quiet,
| if possible, the excitement of the people,
which they knew by the bitterest expe-
perience to be so dangerous to the white
residents. For several days affairs re-
malned in this state, the situation be-
coming 50 grave that representatives
telegraphed their governments for men
of-war. Fortunately, however, before
they arrived, the danger was avoided by
sending the rebellious officials into exile
with q present of $5, coo and six months
salary each, to give it a voluntary ap-
pearance Gen. Manigat was sent to
Santiago de Cuba and Legitime to
Kingston, Jamaica They left Port au
Prince June 2. 1t is said that Legitime
refused to accept the money. He is an
able man and dangerous enemy, and
may be heard from soon, for Jamaica has
quite colony of exiles and is the base
of revolutions.
Just now the President is in good
health, and there is little anxiety felt
for the Immediate future. The city was
released from martial law June 4. Of
course it will be said that our Minister,
Mr.. Thompson, has been unnecessarily
alarmed, and has misiudged the gravity
of the situation. But it should be re-
membered in justice to him that his
action was taken after the diplomatic
corps had assembled to discuss the situa-
tion, and decided to inform their respec-
tive Governments of a strained and
dangerous condition of affairs
| have attempted TO explain why
political disturbance apparently insig-
nifcant to one not acquainted with
Haytian affairs is SO extremely danger
GUS. To have witnessed an infuriated
Haytian mob, with hatred of the whites
in their hearts and mad with rum, loot
ing and burning the stores, shooting all
who resisted, violating and killing their
wives and daughters, firing even on the |
American Consulate, as they did in the
last revolution, is to have q wholesome |
fear of even probable disturbance.

The Female Head Waiter.

There is one institution in the fair and
fruitful State of Connecticut which
knocks the average New-Yorker into a
conniption fit until a few experiences
have make him familiar with it. The
art poetical might place romantic names
about it, but in plain and simple Eng
lish it is the female head-waiter. No
country under the shining sun would
indulge in such luxury, but the Nut
meg State indulges, and until the out
side world gets used to the anomaly the
outside world is going to suffer.
Not many days ago strange young
man sought the solace of breakfast at
the leading hotel of the place. He had
travelled o mile or two, but he had nev-
er breakfasted in Norwich before. AS
he approached the hall where the rites
masticulatory are performed at the
shrine of the inner man, he noticed q
large and handsome duchess or count
ess or baroness, dressed in the height of
fashion, lettering about the entrance.
She went into the breakfast room and
he followed at respectful distance. She
looked uncertainty about the room. So
did he He was looking for the head
waiter. She pulled a chair from the
table, and he, anxious to show that al
though good-looking he was not heart
less Broadway masher, turned modestly
away. She followed after, and, with a
look which ought to have killed, yanked
a chair and planked him in it: The
young man sank down exhausted, looked
family at the giggling waitress, and for
the first time realized that the richly
dressed countess was head-walter.
Great is the State of COnnec tout, but
the rash youth that visits it must have
his wits about him or he will be
surprised

WATCHING A GAME OF BASEBALL.
The Young Man Tells His Best Girl
All About 1t.

They Just filled two nice, shady seat
in the grand-stand, and it was eyldentl.
the first ball game she had ever seen
With lover-like kindness he offered t
explain the game to her as progressed
though she insisted, with that prett!
little childlike manner which was SO deal
to him, that she feared he would find l
hard to make her understand on account
OF her dulness.
''Now, if there's anything you dont
understand just ask me, won't you dear?
he said, as he bought two official score
cards and looked over the array of tai
ent.
"All right" she gurgled. "What has
that boy got in that sort of tin basket
he is carrying around?"
"What boy? Oh, yes. He's got Lem
neutrality-suspicious. Hi, boy!"
And the boy hied.
"Now, you see, dear, the game is
about to commence. You see that man
standing with the club in his hand, he's
the striker, and that other man in the
centre throws the ball to the other man
with the mittens on and the man with
| the stick tries to strike as it goes by, and
if he hits it he runs"
"What did that man with everyday
clothes ON jump so for?'
"He's the umpire and he decides
when a ball is fair and has to"
"Why, the man didn't hit the ball at
oil. What did he strike at it for if he
couldn't hit it p
"Never mind, dear. See, he's out
and"
"What made him out 2"
"Because the umpire is q great big"
"What are those men standing on
those satchels forl"
"Oh, their other clothes are in them
men will steal them"
'Oh, see, that poor man fell right
down and got all mussed up. How did
it happen?"
"Well, you see, he tried to steal that
other mans satchel, but the other man
caught him at it,
"Did hewant the other mans clothes?"
''No, that's the game of it,"
"What does that man stand away off
by the stove polish advertisement fora"
''He's the mark. The man with the
club tries to strike the ball SO that it
will go and hit him.
81 should think it would be awful hot
away out there"
cit is, sometimes, when a liner comes
along"
"What is liner, George2"
"He's the man that draws those white
lines on the ground. Look out for that
foul ball there, dear!'
(Shriek.)
''Did it hurt you much, dear?"
81 II guess not. Is my bonnet
crooked"
"That stuffed bird on the side is q
sort of groggy, and there's dent near
that blue bow on top, otherwise every
thing seems to be all right
''Oh, there comes that boy with that
tin basket again.
s'Er-where? Oh, Yes. Hi, boy"
81 don't think ball is very scientific
game, do you, dear, just hitting ball !
and trying to steal each others satchels. /.
Suppose we go nowl'
Yes, L guess So"
And they wandered out Just after tLo
irst inning nad before Knock-kneed
O'Finnigan had made his great left-hand
,atch and superb double play.-Tid Bits.

Fngland's Naval Power.

England has recently nearly recon-
structed her navy. Ninety-seven of her
war ships carry 589 heavy guns, whose
proiectifes will pierce from II to 20
inches of wrought iron; Is more carry
so guns whose projectiles will pierce
from 30 to SO inches. Furthermore, she
proposes to use the merchant steamships
of the White Star and Cunard lines for
cruisers and transports in case Of war.
In brief, England has now navy which
could not be replaced for 5000, 900, 600.
In her actual service there are $50 YES
sells. while she has a reserve of 300, with
$50 torpedo boats. Moreover, England,
in case of need, is prepared for prompt
extension. At home and abroad-that
is, within her own domain-armOred
defences have been constructed and pre-
pared with or for modern heavy ord
nance, thus facing the world. And, as
n 1ulp, her coasts are made reasonably
secure against assault.-GeReraI 0. o.

Scene at a Nevada Election.

Judge Jones tells good story, which
he says occurred when his brother,
Senator Jones OF Nevada, first ran for
Office. The territory in and about Nlr-
ginia City, New, was not then noted Tor
its rigid morality, and the details of an
election required close watching and
careful management.
It was the night before the election,
and the coming Senator sat in his office,
happy in the consciousness that every
thing was ready for the events of the
morrow. There came a rap on the door,
and a heavy set native of the Emerald
Isle, who was quite active in politics, en-
tered. After an exchange of courtesies,
he said:
"Mr. Jones, there is one thing we
have forgotten
"What's that Z"
"We have neglected to provide for
voting the stiffs.
''The stiffs! What are they?"
"Why, the boys in the graveyards, to
be sure. We always vote them"
When Senator Jones learned to a GER
tainty that the occupants of the ceme-
teries were made to do duty at the polls
by proxy he at once resolved he would
Illustrate the plan as far as possible by
placing cnailenSefS Ut eacn NoGlnS PlaCe:
The Irishman protested that this would
require all day, while entire the batch
could be voted in on the right side in an
hour in the morning. Pat was solicited
to attend the polling place in the Fifth
Ward, and the next morning he was
early at his post.
Closely he scanned each voter and
read every name as it was enrolled by
the clerk, but his services were not
called into requisition until about 10
o'clock, when miner in a flannel shirt,
with his coarse overalls tucked into his
boots, stepped up to the polls and hand
ing over ticket gave the name Of a
dead man.
"Hould on there. [ challenge that
vote" shouted Pat, excitedly.
