Port-auPrince, the capital, is-by

I ty of comparing it with other cities
the filthiest place in the world. The
town was laid out by the French, and
the streets are wide. 1t is only their
great width that makes them passa-
BILE, for the roadway before his dwell
ing is every householder's rubbish
shoot. and slab sided pigs and starveling
dogs perform all the sanitary offices
for the town Of Port-au-Prince save in
the rainy season, when heavier storm
than usual comes to flush the open
drains. In consequence the populace
live in an atmosphere of combined
cesspool and ash pit, which by all the
laws of hygiene should produce chronic
plague.
The free and Independent negro leads
the life that most nearly approaches
his ideal. They have proverb in the
country that only white men, black
women and asses work." and there is
truth in it. The black man lies around
all day sleeping in the sun. His utmost
effort Is to play dice or watch cock
fight, but sleep is his favorite occupa-
ton, and he can do that better than
anything else. In the country dis
tricts the old plantations have long
since slipped back into the luxuriant
overgrowth of the forest. In town
any trading done is by the women and
by foreigners. Undisturbed by the
white man, to whom he is insolent, the
town bred negro is pacific enough. The
only exertion demanded Of him Is to
avoid the. attentions Of the police

Yesterday afternoon it was announced
that the Klieves, Kraft Company, who
were awarded the contract for the erec-
ton of the new Court Theatre. would
start work at the earliest possible date,
but that it would be hardly possible to
have the building ready for opening be-
fore another year. The contract price
is $149, AT, which includes the site and
allgother expenses. The changes which
were made in the plans by Mr.. Franz
helm, the architect, do not in any way
detract from the building. but in the
front elevation rather add to it. The
only change made in the front was in
the removing o fthe main entrance from
the centre of the Chapline street side to
a position nearer the southwest COR
ner.
1he greatest changes are on the inter-
Tor of the first floor. Here the foyre
and lobby have been transposed and are
slightly larger. The foyre is north of
the lobby. In the lobby instead of two
ticket boxes there is one large one in
the new plans, it being situated in the
southeast corner of the lobby, but the
gallery entrance and window are sep
arate. The store rooms on the Twelfth
street side have been changed, and in
stead OF two store rooms fronting on
Cnapline street there is out one and the
those on Twelfth street are somewhat
smaller.
On the second floor the ladies parlor
anu the Board OF Trade rooms have been
transposed, and a small Office for the
secretary has been added The third,
fourth and fifth floors are practically
unchanged. In the basement, which
was made deep in the original plans to
make room for Turkish baths. etc., will
not be so deep in the modified plans
Considerable expense has also been
saved in the matter of cutting out the
light wells in the corridors, and lighting
them instead by prisms in the Office
building.
The plans for the theatre proper are
practically unchanged, and the problem
of keeping the big steel beams in the
gallery and not substituting pillars, has
been solved by modifying other less i'm
portant features
The building will, as in the original
plans, be constructed with the first
story of stone, the second Of brick and
terra Gotta in alternate rows, and the
third, fourth and fifth of brick Over
each window will be a decorative piece
of terra Gotta, while the main entrance

The people of Bridgeport seem to have
given little thought regarding the new
water supply, as adopted by council. but
as the voting time draws near, the citizens
are awakening to the true situation. and
it is thought when they have studied over
the matter that they will change their
minds, and vote as to what they think is
the best for the town The Bridgeport
water Company proposes to furnish the
town filtered water for twenty years, and
that its purity shall be approved by the
State Board of Health, and are to keep
the present mains in repair and make all
extensions at their own expense: charges
same as Martins Ferry The Kinney
Water Supply Company of Bellafre offer
to pay to the town s31, 900 for their present
mains and make all extensions at their
own expense; give filtered water: charges
same as Martins Ferry, and water SUBJ
Ject to the approval of the State Board
of Health. Martins Ferry offered to re-
turn ten per cent. of their receipts for
this town for keeping the mains in re-
pair. The water committee considered the
proposals and concluded to give the
Bridgeport Water Supply Co. the contract
Tor twenty years, the company agreeing
to nave their plant in operation by No
vember 18th, 1901, and that the people vote
on this proposition. This looks rather
strange. The Kinney Water Supply Co.
offers to give s31. 600 for their mains.
which would be like the town finding that
much money, and is just that much more
than offered by the others. Now why
this offer of $4,000 to the town. with all
other propositions equal, and not accented
oy the council, is a question before the
puole ana one that will be fully investi-
gated before the people cast their votes,

A BOLD HDLD.UP.
Toll, COMPELS COL0RED POKER
PLAYERS IN Bob CLARK'S
TO HAND OUT THEIR MONEY.
Were All Badly Scared-Called the
Pistol IAN elephant Gun"-The
Man From HuntingtOn-Arrest
by Night Watchman Junkins.
Held for Hearing Monday-Other
Justice and Criminal News.

Yesterday morning, between the
hours OF four and five O'Clock, there
was considerable excitement in the vi
entity of the Second ward market
house, and particularly in the poker
room operated by Robert Clark. COL
ored man, and patronized by gentlemen
OF his color. The cau-e of the trouble
was one, Charles Ringo, of Huntington,
also colored.
At the above stated hour he was
wandering up through the market
square, bordering no doubt on the I'M
certainty of fortune, waen an idea
struck him. He picked his way across
Market street and entered the building
occupied by the Clark establishment.
Now, Charley is a big, brawny, raw
Doned man, and as he blocked the door
way and commanded the dozen or so
patrons to "hold up their hands," there
was no delay, particularly as the order
was backed up with 4S calibre Smith
d Wesson revolver. The silence was
now growing painful, but Ringo reliev-
ed by giving another command
Say, youse go one at time and put
your money on dat table.
The command was opeyed, after
which Charley issued another order:
'4ouse niger, git dat money and hand
1t here" This command was also
ooeyed and Charley pocketed it and
walked away unconcernedly, richer by
% feathers. He did not seem particu-
larly anxious TO shake the dust of that
locality from his feet, but loafed about
the market house until night watch
man Junkins came along and gathered
him in. Charley tried to again draw
his gun, but he was too slow and was
safely placed behind the bars of the
county Jail.
He was later arraigned before Squire
M. j. Fitzpatrick on charge of high
way robbery and in default of $1,000
bond he was committed to Jail to await
hearing on the 9th.
At the preliminary hearing the men
who had been relieved of their "cash"
turned out in force and when question
ed as to why they gave up their
money many amusing answers were
given, but all agreed that they could
not hold out against the ibig elephant
gun"
