WAR MAY BE DECLARED.
II Italy Insists Upon Indemnity from tho
Haytian Republic.

New York, Dec 15.-If Italy follows
the course pursued by Germany in col
lecting an indemnity for the murder OF
an Italian subject and the illegal seiz-
ure of an Italian vessel. the belief pre-
walls in Washington that President
Sam will be forced by his people TO de-
clare war, says a Washington dispatch
to The Herald.
Minister Leger said that he had re-
ceived no information in regard to this
latest phase of Hayt's internal trou-
BILE, bat he expects that he will be early
advised of the matter in order that he
may make suitable representations on
the subject to this government.
Mr. Leger has repeatedly asserted
that the people OF Hayti would oppose
a tame compliance with Germanys de-
mands and while the Haytians have no
| fortifications and navy hopelessly in
| ferior TO that of Italy, members of the
| Haytian legation expect their govern
ment will not comrly with any peremp-
tory demand which may be made by
Italy unless il should be shown that
there is justice in the claim presented
by the Italian government. These gem
/
| responsible for either of the matters
| brought to it's attention by Italy.
IT is expected by the authorities that
in case Italy should determine to push
her claims against Hayti the Haytian
| government will ask this government
to use its good offices for the settlement
of the incident Until fully acquainted
with the facts the president will prob
ably outline no policy, but should 1t be
shown that the Italian claims are just
the administration will not Interfere
unless Italy should attempt TO make
a permanent landing on Haytian soil
This latter eventuality is not consld-
cred a possibility by the authorities
and should the Italian claims be JUS
! the administration will probably have
nothing to say The United States
cruiser Marblehead will remain at Por
au Prince until Hayti's troubles arr
over.

PRACTICAL CHRISTI4NTTY.

Last Sunday Maine Ir' acher felt
moved to preach as follows: Il want
to say here, friends, the trouble with
so many of the Lords dear people to-
day is they don't begin right. Square
up old bills and you will have heaven
come in+o you: you will think you
have got two wings. Give me the
ledgers and day books, of some of the
business men and l will tell you why
you don't have a good experience. o,
beloved, let's pay up, Let's go to the
bottom and do you know you will go up
like a rocket"
We hope the experiment suggested
by this preacher will be tried not only
in his own town, but in all other towns
where the Lords dear people haven't
squared up their old bills. We have no
doubt that it would work well in re-
viving religion, and it would most GER
tainly do much to revive business and
the spirits of business men. They
would feel that they had two wings and
a good experience if the Lords dear
people who owe them would pay and it
would save some of them from going
up like rocket.

The simple arrangement of the hair
shown in this picture is becoming to a
small, girlish face and so for such feat
ures is just right, for becomingness is
the proof of the correctness of a Golf,
but in general the couture is becoming
more elaborate. Many women cut their
hair into three sections: the first from
the forehead for a part that extends
over the head from well behind the
ears; the second from this part to one
that starts at the same place behind
the ears and passes about the head
about finger depth from the nape of
the neck. The front and nape portions
are cut about a finger and a half long,
the middle section is left it's full length,
and all three divisions are kept care
fully separate. The long part is dis
posed in the coil, the front portion in
pompadour or other elaboration about
the face, and the nape locks are waved
and curled to give the required finish to
the back of the coiffure, the ends being
drawn under the coil. Though it may
seem pity to cut so much hair, yet
when thus apportioned, the varied de-
mands of couture can be met with
grace and ease and without undue pull
ing and hauling of the hair,
