TIE ARMY OF HAITI

Hayti is chiefly remarkable by rea-
son Of its being a military republic,
with an army of 1000 generals and
1000 privates-a general to each
Tommy. The generals are extraor-
binary men In more than one sense
of the word. There Is one who COM
mands a large province in the re-
public, who is Of the lowest Of the
people, who can neither read nor
write, and who is nevertheless a great
revolutionary power. This man-Gen.
Johannis Merisier-is obliged to ask
one man to read to him what another
man has written for him, and yet in
his hands are the lives and deaths of
the people over whom he rules.
Every third man you meet in Hayti
is a general, but it is only every
tenth general who gets paid; it has
to be conceded that each general does
his best to pay himself. The author.
lied rate Of pay is G140 annually for
q general OF division and G105 for a
brigadier. A captain is passing rich
on Ell year; private thinks him
self fortunate if he receives g2 los.
during the same period.
The Haytian soldiers uniform is a
fearful and wonderful thing. Let us
review a regiment on parade. Some
OF them are shod in dried grass slip
pers. They wear a little blue cap
with red band. One man, perhaps,
is wearing a shabby pair of old tweed
trousers, and slung by a hemp rope
over his shoulders is an old-fashioned
flint-lock gun. The officer who COM
mands the regiment is brandishing a
rusty sword.
The army, it goes without saying,
is miserably housed. In Port-au-
Prince, the capital of Hayti, you will

coal sold in Chicago at the highest
figure quoted in years. The Weaver
Coal Company sold several orders OF
a high grade at SIS ton and some at
$50. These prices. while not general,
are in the face OF hard coal famine in
the city, and they indicate what may
be expected unless supply OF anthra-
cite soon reaches town.
Dealers declare that an average price
on anthracite cannot possibly be quoted
because OF the existing emergency,
where those who must have coal at
any price are practically bidding to Sc
cure what they can of the scant supply
in the Chicago yards. Soft coal has
gone up in price 8 to 10 per cent. with
i'll few days, and coke, the best sub
stitutc for hard coal. was quoted at $Iz
20 $I3 a ton, double the price asked
September I. While citizens are
alarmed at the gravity of the situation,
dealers are also worried, as they have
not been in a long time over the out
look A speedy settlement OF the
strike would adjust matters in time and
prices would drop to reasonable
figure, but the uncertainty of the flu
ture is causing fright among citizens
and dealers alike.

draw the Troops.

Shenandoah, Pa. (SpeciaD.-Monday
began the nineteenth week OF the coal
strike. The date on which Senator
Plat predicted that the strike would
end has passed, and the hope which was
instilled into the people in this locality
because OF that prediction has been
succeeded by feeling that the end is
still far off.
The reiteration of the coal presidents
during the week that no concessions
would be made and the resolutions
passed by nearly all the local unions
of the United Mine Workers renewing
their allegiance to their officers and
pledging themselves to continue the
strike Until concessions arr granted,
show that neither side to the contro-
versy is weakening.
General Goblin, in charge OF the state
troops encamped in this county. denies
that he is preparing to remove the
troops at an early date or that he ex-
poets an order from the Governor to
Withdraw the troops. He says he does
rot anticipa all order OF that kind
until there is a settlement OF the strike.

OF q man with thOusand-dollar
bill in his pocket and no smaller
amount of money, a story has been
written that traced him through many
experiences and took him to the verge
of starvation. But, as a matter OF
fact, one man who had nothing small
err than a one-thousand-dollar bill got
through the difficulty very easily in
this city few nights ago.
Ten of these coveted promissory
notes Of the United States had been
paid to him in the afternoon. In the
pursuit of business and modicum Of
pleasure he had, after the receipt Of
his 100000, spent the last dime he
possessed other than the big bills.
He was with some friends, any one
of whom could and would have ac-
commodated him with sufficient mon
ey for his needs, but discussion
arose about what he would do If he
were a stranger in the city and had
no money other than that which was
