GOOD NAVAL STATION
Island Belonging to Hayti Which
Can Be Acquired by U. S.
Has Two Good Harbors, Its Soil Is
Rich and There Is Plenty of Good
Spring Water SuEgesttOns
from Our Minister.

United States Minister Powell at
Port au Prince, Hayti, is much inn
pressed with the idea that the island
of Genaives, in the Gulf Of Leogane, or
Gonalves, the largest dependency of
Hayti, would afford the naval station
which the United States has 80 long de-
sired 10 possess in these waters. The
island was granted under very liberal
conditions some years ago to three
Haytians, NM. Nord Alexis and B.
Riviere and DR.. Aubrey. Only NJ. Alexis
is now living, and the concession re-
mains unexploited.
The island OF Gonaives is almost in
calculably rich lin mahogany. 1t is
mainly composed of picturesque is
lands, which would yield enormously
in coffee IL properly cultivated. The
highest mountain peak reaches about
5000 feet above the sea, and, with the
neighboring SUBMITS, presents most
striking appearance, especially when
viewed from the mainland and invested
with the varying glamor Of the sun
set. At midsummer the sun, as seen
from the Champ De Mars, Port au
Prince. descends Immediately behind
the island. The rugged shore, guarded
by many hidden reefs, affords but two
commodious ports, one the Bale Du, on
the southeastern side, and the other
the Anse A Galets, on the northeast
ern. There are several promontories
commandingly situated, which would
be available for defense.
In the interior are numerous springs,
while the dark soil is evenly moistened
throughout the year and has a fertility:
that is proverbal even in Hayti, land
possessing the richest natural means Of
production in the world. Fine beef
cattle are fatted in the valleys. The
population is as yet extremely small,
but it is close and convenient to the
chief city of the republic.
The men who own the industrial con-
cession for the island Of Gonaives have
been unable to raise capital enough to
exploit 1t. AS is usual, the terms of
the grant exclude foreigners from any
participation in its benefits, but there
are able lawyers here who believe a way
could be found 10 elude the prohibitory
provisions in this respect. The conces-
sionaires or their heirs are very de-
sirous of selling their rights; and, of
course, there is no chance of doing so
to any but foreigners, especially in the
present distressed condition of the peo-
pie. The favorite method of evading
the constitutional prohibition of alien
ownership of land is hypothecation.
]. C. Bussellman, of Port au Prince,
represents the concessionaires or their
heirs and is ready to enter into any ar
rangement with the United States gov
ernment. Minister Powell, it is under
stood, has already brought the matter
TO the attention of the state depart

AN INARTISTIC NOSE.
Son OF n Millionaire BRvarian Banker
Finds 1t n Barrier to Marriage
and Tries Saicide.

Any mans tongue may cause him no
end of trouble, but there is only one
case for historians to record by which
a human beings woes can be directly
traced TO his nose.
Charles Aufurth's nasal organ did not
suit him and rs result he is lying in
Bellevue hospital, New York, suffering
from a self-infiicted bullet wound in
the head.
He is the son Of millionaire Bavarian
banker, The first nose that nature gave
to Auturth showed that he had been
sighted. It was little better than two
nostrils fattened on his face.
He fell in love, but the object of his
affections refused to entertain his suit
or listen to his accounts of what wealth
he could give her.
Young Aufurth came to this country.
He went to live at 1876 East Seventh
street, where his acquaintances were
more charitable than those in the ia
therland.
Aufurth underwent a grating opera
tion, but his voice failed and he could
hardly be understood. He decided to go
to the war. The recruiting officers
could not even understand his name.
The other night he decided that he
would kill himself. He fired bullet
into his head.

GETS FAMOUS ASTRONOMER.
University of Chicago Secures Or.
Edwin Drnnt Frost from Dart
mouth College.

DIR. Edwin Brant Frost, of Dartmouth
college, will become member of the
faculty of the University of Chicago at
the beginning of the next school year.
Prof. Frost, who is at present professor
of astronomy at Dartmouth and direc-
tor of the Shattuck observatory, will
assume the rank of full professor at
the university and will work with the
big lens at the Yerlses observatory.
Prof. Frost is a graduate of Dart
mouth, and has been an instructor at
his alma mater, with the exception of
two years spent in study abroad, ever
since his graduation in 1856. In 1890 he
went abrond, intending to study in
Strasburg, but he had an opportunity
10 become n volunteer assistant at the
imperial astrophysical observatory in
Potsdam and so spent two years there
assisting Vogel and Scheiner in spec
troscopic research work. During his
stay these noted men, by their investi-
cations in thermal radiation of sun
spots and solar surfaces, placed in
doubt the theory that the spots on the
sun are cavities in the photosphere.
The professor returned to Dartmouth
in 1852. His best work since his re-
turn is the translation and revision Of
Scheiner's Astronomical Spectroscopy,
which takes precedence over the orig
inal as an authority on the subject. At
the Yerkes observatory he will devote
special attention to the Photographic
study of stellar spectra with the large

FLAGS FOR M1LLIoNAIREs.
Newport Man Decorntea the Belmont
and Vanderbilt Mansions with
Red, White and Blue.

So intensely loyal is Alfred Denisot,
of Newport, II. l., that he grieved TO
note that the estates of Mrs. Oliver Bel
mont and Cornelius Vanderbilt were
not decorated. So with bundle of
flags he invaded the grounds and nailed
the stars and stripes to the mansions of
the rich.
When the care takers heard Alfred
cheering the flags they came forth and
chased the patriot away. They also
tore the flags down, but that did not
discourage Alfred. He returned in the
night with fresh decorations, and next
morning the red, white and blue waved
proudly on both estates. The colors
ffoated from roofs and pillars, and on
some of the trees the Industrious
Frenchman had planted immense flags.
| When this crop was removed back
came Denisot with others still larger.
81 want you men to remember the
Maine" he said to the attendants, "and
let these flags alone Every person in
America should fly the colors In this
crisis. Hurrah for the red, white and
bluei"
i Denisot then placed iron chains on the
gates and fastened them with brass
padlocks. BY order of the attendants,
the locks were shattered with dynamite
and the estates were once more stripped
of the Denisot bunting. When the pat
riot was arraigned on charge of tres
pass and disorderly conduct he said he
deemed 1t his duty to decoratethe most
expensive estates at Newport. The
young man was released on his personal
recognizance.
