tRumOr claims that a washington
belle broke her engagement with a GER
tain washington clubman, Just be-
cause he carried his money in a
purse says The Washington Post.
81 can't abide" she is quoted as say
ing. "a man who carries a purse at all
and as for one who keeps his change
in it, he is simply beyond hope, and
it's sure to follow that the man with
the little purse will be close about
everything. You may not notice it
during your engagement, but be sure
it will come later.
Fancy asking a man for money, and
have him extract a miserable little
purse and begin digging down into it
half the time the little piece Of leather
not being capable of holding h amount
that one would ordinarily a for a
simple frock."
And the matron to whom the young
belle confined the cause OF the broken
engagement was heard to remark after
ward a h thought there was con-
siderable truth and much wisdom in
the girls idea OF the thing.

STONED BIZ PALACE GUARD.
tackled I'm Port an Prince-Redress
VIII be Demanded.

Paris. June 23.-The foreign office
has received a dispatch from II. De-
PREF. the French minister at Port au
Prince, Hayti. saying that while he and
the German minister were driving past
the palace yesterday they were attack
ed and stoned by soldiers forming the
palace guard. NJ. DePrez was struck on
the leg by a stone and was slightly m
5ured. The minister's wives. who were
In another carriage, following. also
were pelted. The wife of the French
minister IS an American.
AS Foreign Minister DeFCasse has
only just received the dispatch. he has
not yet determined what steps shall be
taken, but the officials consider il Ger
tain that France will make an energetic
demand for redress. One French war
ship is near the scene and another Is
at the French naval headquarters in the
West Indies. II is expected that Ger
many will make a similar demand for
redress.
Port au Prince. Hayti, June 23.-The
attack on the French minister here, NJ.
DeRrez, who was struck by a stone yes
terday, thrown by one OF the guards
on duty at the palace, was the outcome
OF the feeling among the population and
the government against foreigners, the
natives desiring to hold them respon-
sible for the wretched financial situa-
ton of Haiti, the proceedings against
the French and German officials of the
national bank charged with participa-
ton in the issue of $500, 900 fraudulent
securities early in 1903 have not been
ended. Some of the officials are still in
prison n others have sought safety
in flight. Persons prominently connect
ed with the national bank have been
protesting against the long detention
in prison of the officials who are under
charges.
The statement that France will de-
mand redress for the attack on her
minister is confined here.
Washington, June DENOMINATION
of the reported attack on the French
and German ministers in Hayti came
to the State Department today in the
shape of the following cablegram from
Minister Powell, at Port au Prince,
dated June %:
French and German ministers, with
their ladies, while passing the palace
in their carriages yesterday were ston-
ed by the palace guard. French Min
lister slightly injured. Apology demand
ed but none given. Both have cabled
their governments"
The most serious feature of the al
fair is that the attack was made not
by an irresponsible mob, but by the
palace guard, which directly connects
the Haitian government with the occur
renee. More than a month 6 the
state department was forewarned OF
this approaching trouble by it's agents
in Haiti and have been watching the
little republic closely, keeping a nava
force near at hand. The Detroit which
went from Dominican waters to partici-
pate in the Nova Scotia celebration
will return to San Domingo, as it is
proposed by the navy department tc
keep three vessels in close proximity
to Haiti and San Domingo.

Democratic press On the A. and N. c. R..
R., closing with these words:
''As we said before this is all on a
par with the way the Democrats have
managed the State and its finances
Back of the whole thing is a studied
and inspired determination to 'discredit
the Democratic State administration.
Some of the Conspiracy and Radical or
gans do not go so far as the Winston Re.
publican, but they are now writing plat
form that is designed to unite the railroad
forces, whiskey soaks. and negroes with
the Republicans. Keep your eye on the
Conspiracy. The A. and N. c. receiver
ship was only the first step in the plan
to try to break down Democratic rule IN
North Carolina, unless the Democracy ac-
cepts orders from railroad bosses and the

THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE.

1T is certain" says the Rochester, IN.
Y) Union and Advertiser, that a sound
and able Democrat, a man VINO has the
confidence of the business men of the
country, would draw a very large vote
from the Republican side"
More than that: he would get nearly
all the independent vote, which is large
enough in a close contest to turn the
scales. They are tired of Roosevelt who
thinks the way to get his name writ
rutric on the walls is to be sensational
and do things that are untried and dan
gerous to the peace of the Republic.
The Democrats will nominate such
man as the Union and Advertiser de-
scribes and his name is--see the News and
Observer of July Sth. There are half
dozen men who will fill the bill.
