PORT AU PRINCE, June S.-The mas
sacre of St. Bartholomew sinks into
insignificance besides the scenes en-
acted here in the last few days.
For the last two or three weeks there
have been rumors that a revolution
against Hippolyte was imminent in this
capital, and these having reached the
ears of the chief executive, he caused
the arrest of about eighty suspected
persons, dragged them from their
homes and put them in irons in prison,
Among the suspected was a Gen
Sully, who, hearing he was wanted,
hid himself. Failing to secure the gen.
eral himself, his wife was taken instead
and thrown into prison.
The outbreak of the rebels occurred
on Thursday, May, 49,. : While Presi-
dent Hippolyte was at church former
cabinet minister, at the head of eighty
followers, stormed the prison and re-
leased 200 political and other prisoners.
The released prisoners were provided
with arms, and when Hippolyte's troops
arrived on the scene there was bloody
battle. Hippolyte, fearing that he
would be shot down by some of the
rebels if he appeared on the street, re-
NAMED in the church all day guarded
by soldiers. He called out the reserve
militia and the rebels were soon routed.

A BEAUTY DESTROYER.
The Woman Who Drinks Wine Must Rls

The Woman Who Drinks Wine Must Risk
Having a Red Nose.
An Englishman, lately on this side,
remarked with some surprise on the
comparative Indifference the average
American woman shows for wine. He
gazed with open astonishment on the
feminine contingency at large dinner,
who slipped but q thimblcful of
champagne, moistcncd their lips with
clarct, took q spoonful of Rhine wine,
and almost ignored the cordials. He
openly asserted that the British matron
empties her glasses so often at ono
meal that she promptly falls into deep
and noisy slumbers on reaching the
drawing-room, and is not in the least
ashamed of her intemperance.
But to the observant New Yorker
the fashion for wine drinking among
women has grown to IN alarming cx-
tent during the past ten years Few
enough of maids and matrons yet have
taken to the habit of falling asleep in
the drawing-room, but it would make
a prohibitionist weep to see the array
of bottles uncorked for a ladies'
luncheon. Women of the smart set
think it only right and proper that they
season the rich menu with liberal
allowances from the four or five glasses
ranged about their plates, and now and
then one boasts of her capacity for
champagne and another preference
for claret and impress young debut
antes with a sense of their real awful
and dissipated ways. =,
The ingenious bud gulps down red
and white wine with disgust but firm
determination to learn the excellent
habits of her elders, and, poor little
dear, she doesn't know what a goose
she is making of herself; for if her
sense of perception was as strong as
her vein of vanity she would take
warning, by the increasing array of red
noses and forego temptation. If a
woman begins ct nineteen to drink
Burgundy she'll have b red nose by
twenty-nine, and not an ordinary red
ness will this be, such as the sun and
wind and water glare often creates,
but the redness of swollen, blood
charged veins, that no amount of cos
metic win conceal. The red-nosed
woman invariably has thin hair and
dull eyes, and her skin grows as thick
% tallow while her waist swells out q
