TO OVERTHROW HlPPoLYTE.
Plot to Gust Hayti's Ruler Said to Have
Been Hatched In New York.

New YORK, Jan. 9-Mr. Price, the
Haytian Minister to the United States,
has, it is said, discovered a revolutionary
momement having for it's object the over
throw of President Hippolyte of Hayti.
The revolutionary party, he has found,
has fitted out in this country a man-of.
war equipped with all the appliances of
modern warfare, which it is intended to
be used by the Haytian political eXiles
in Jamaica to capture Port au Prince
and establish new government.
Minister Price it is further said, has
denounced the revolutionary movement
to the government at Washington, and it
is expected that the detective machinery
of the State Department will be set in
motion for the capture of the man-of-war
and the arrest of the agents here.

Tulkinson--a barrister and bachelor
combined, by the way--is n very sys-

house fitted with electrical appliances,
and giving instructions 10 his servant
Joseph, he said:
"Now | want you to understand,
Joseph, that when | ring once that
means for you, and when | ring twice
that means for Maggie, the houscmaid." 4"
Joseph, who is the LATEST wretch that
ever accepted wages he did not earn,
bowed respectfully and Withdrew. A
little later the bell rang. Joseph never
moved. Presently it rang again, and
according to instructions Maggie came
hurrying to her master, who was very
angry.
"Why didn't that rascal, Joseph, come
when | rang for himy" said the bar
rister bachelor disgustedly.
"Why, sir" answered Maggie, ."Jo-
seph is busy in the Office reading your

ring he said to me, Now, Maggie, wait
until he rings the second time, and then
it will be you he wants. '"-London Tit

WHY MANY Treatments rni,.

"rhc fault IL not of tho art, but of the
patient Is the phrase that may be ap-
piled 10 those diseases in which the most
correct measures taken under favorable
circumstances fail TO accomplish their
purpose, because the patient himself
does not or cannot cooperate with them.
No treatment can relieve the smoker
from his throat catarrh. no long as hc
persists in his habit.
This aspect of the case is especially
pertinent to tho nervous disorders which
are ono of tho growing scourgos Of our

Of business too often intervene to inter.

So the cowboy ups with his pistol, d'you

well, now, that sort of thing is very
distinctly frowncd upon by cowboys, as

put rope around bis neck, and there

Strange Cave DweIIers In Spain.

At meeting of the Royal Geograph-

account of his exploration of wild
district in the province of Caceres,
which he represented as still inhabited
by a strange people who speak curious
patois and live in caves and inaccessible
retreats. They have hairy skin and
have hitherto displayed a strong repug-
nance to mixing with their Spanish and
Portuguese neighbors. Roads have lately
been pushed into the district inhabited
by the "Jurdes," and they are begin
ming to learn the Castilian language
and attend the fairs and markets.
