NInister PoMell to Reslrn.

Camden. N. J., Sept. 13.--william F. Powell, United States Minister to Hayti. who Is on leave of absence at his home here, today announced his intention of rendering his resignation to President Roosevelt at once. He gives as his reason for resigning the prevalence of revolutions, riots and fever in Hayti.
 1T have tempted the fates long enough" he said.
 In about eight days MT Powell will return to his post at Port au Prince to await the appointment and arrival of his successor. Mir. Powell was ap. pointed minister to Hayti about ten years ago by President Harrison on the recommendation of the late Senator Sewau.

A FABLE REPEATED.

Students of old Greek mythology are familiar with the story of that mighty hunter, Acteon, who incurred the dis pleasure Of the goddess Diana. Some say that he took a peep at her in her bathing dress, or undress, and others give different reasons for her anger. At all events her enmity was such that she changed poor Acteon into a deer and his own dogs set on him and tore him to pieces.
 We have been reminded of this old story by recent events in Delaware. But little while back one Addioks was a great hunter of men. He made and unmade bosses and politicians at pleas ure, and in his own party at least he was the law and the supreme controller of political events. Few dared to dis pute his word or his will. and if they did they generally went under.
 Among the other evidences of his creative powers we may place James Frank Alice, now misfepresentine Del aware in the Senate. "Everything he is made him." says Addicks, and now he Is learning what a bad job he turned or. Making politicians. as Addicks made them, is not creditable business, and is not apt to be profitable for tho maker, especially when made of the Alice brand of material. The work Is apt to be faulty.
 Now Ad iicks has lost power and prestige in Delaware, He has ceased to be the great hunter and has become a rather timid stag. The dogs that he made. with Alice at their head, have turned on him and are determined to drag him down. Alice Is Senator and wants to have another term, while Ad- dicks wants 1t for himself but he will not get 1t, we predict It may be that the better people of Delaware can rid the State of both of them, but at any rate the old boss seems to be slated for oblivion. As famous American states man. whose name we fail to remember, once said of a fallen opponent. "Ac- teon eaten by his own dogs. The pun ishment Is severe, but just. !"

SOME nALL PLAYING.


 We think we have strenuous ball games in this country sometimes, and pArhaps they do get little lively on special occasions. If they don't often mob the baseball umpire it is not from lack of inclination, and when 1t comes to football there are frequently real busy movements among the contest ants. For sure enough lively times, though, the cid Indian game of ball. which is yet played by some Of the red men, is the thing. They could make our ball crantss look like three dimes.
 Over in indian Territory thero has fer q4ite 6 while been bitter contention between the towns of Eufaula and Ar beka as to which has the better play CTS. The team on each side consists of twenty-sIx men, selected fer their strength and activity. as well as their skill at the game. Some of them are oli men who have been on the team for years. These rival teams have tried seversi times to decide the champion shit, but the game has always eilicd in a row. They had another trial few days ego and the Indian Journal has this to say of it:
 Both sides declared their intention Of playing the game out this year. but scarcely had the first ball reached the air when things were doing. The ball was minutes forty-six of the fifty-two play CTS fought, and fought hard: Several officers who were present used their CT, forts to quell the fight, but not until eevsrsl hundred men gained the ring were tns maddened Indians quteted. A number of them received severe bruises, Sanger, received q knife wound In the side about six inches long and two inches deep: besides being badly bruised up with ball sticks. He was brought to Eufaula and at present is under fair way to recovery.
 That was ball-playing some consid- erAbie. That Is. there was action in 1t and lots ef it. No taking it out in word slinging. after the approved style amohg the whites, but harimer- and tongs engagement that makes the American gsJaa sink Into insigniflcance. True. there wasn't very much actual ball-pIeyins. for they soon got too busy to look at ball. They only hal use for sticks. and an Indian ball-stick,, like our golf stick. is nc trife to run one's head against when there Is an ath- ietic and infuriated Indian brave at the other end The result of the game, as q game. was that only one ball passed the goal and that was the first one thrown. Heads took the place of balls after that.
 We have often thought we should like to sec one game of ball played as sne xnz:ans used to play it. The Choc- taws and Creeks were especially de- voted to 1t. and 1t was not at all un- sean1non for men to be killed at 1t. We don't suppose the whites could stand such games. however.

nr.rpaxrxe AND BUILDING.


 Ii Is something of an anomaly to say
 that anything can be both a destroyer and a builder. but that seems true or
 volcanoes. Among all the great nat ursl phenomeua of nature there is none
 that is less understood and more in-
 expiicabie than volcanoes are. One will remain quiescent for years and then without any cause that human
 knowledge can fathom there will be violent eruption, causing death and de- ctruction to ali in the vicinity. It may cease as suddenly as 1t began, or may continue active for years. Many of them burn themselves out and become dead forever. In all parts of the world that have been explored by man there are to be found ancient craters, fields of lava and all the other evidences of former eruptions. These volcanoes ceased to be active at such q remote pe- riod in the past that science can only guess at the time when they retired from business. We fail to understand why the hidden fires which formerly found vent through these craters should have ceased forever. or why their en- ergies should have been transferred to other places.
 Nor is this all. or the most singular phase of the question, for we are con- stantly reminded that these internal fires apparently have no rule of pro- cedure They are as likely to break from the depths of the ocean as any where else. Not only Is it a fact that many of the islands which are now por- tions of the habitable globe are the re- suits of volcanic action, but we are con- tinually reading in accounts of sea voyages of new islands which spring up almost in night, and which in many cases disappear almost as suddenly as they appeared. And there are other accounts of great disturbances in the ocean which sometimes endanger pass ing vessels and then subside and leave no evidence of their visit.
 Yet the volcanoes are builders. To use the language of q contemporary the Is constructive rather than ie- structive, and the quantities of mineral matter poured from them add materi- ally to the habitable and cultivatable portion of the earth's surface. Nearly all of the West Indies are of volcanic origin. The vents that opened at the sea bottom discharged billions of tons of magma. that piled into islands which are today among the most beautiful in the world and support populations of thousands. To be sure, in the process of land creation, thousands of human beings have lost their lives, through ignorant building, through venturing too close to the chimney. through in- habiting those lines of apparent weak ness that are affected by earthquakes; nevertheless, the ash that devastates hundreds of miles of territory. blight ing and burning where it falls, be- comes in a short time a rich soil, and in few years the blackened scars are hidden by smiling verdure. The Ger mans got the better of us in the dis- tribution of territory in Samoa, and they are gaining still further advant- age through the additions to their largest island. The forces of nature are with them.

Four Days.
 Chicago, Sept. 13.--Nearly 1000 Episcopalians. clergy and laymen, will next week go into retreat" from the world and will for four days lead a communal life In Chicago much like that of monks In a cloister. The .''re- treat will be the lower group of build ings at the University of Chicago. The participants will be the delegates to the twentieth annual convention of the Brotherhood of St. Andrews. This great denominal fraternity numbers 5000 members.
 The idea of the retreat will be carried out consistently during the four days the delegates will be in Chicago. They will not necessarily be cut off from the world. but those who wish may live so as to see no one except members of the brotherhood from Wed nesday to Sunday evening. The pur- pose of this modern retreat" as ex- plained by officials of the brotherhood is to intensity the feeling of universal brotherhood. John H. SmAte. secre- tary of the Chicago assembly, is receiv- ing an unprecedented number of appli- cations from delegates all over the country. It is expected there will be some of the brotherhood present from China, Hawaii and other distant lands

 Some m9Se Sn Rro0f of the ,npg9sguIto pgs lectured here some weeks ago. he stated as scientifically known that: If a mosquito has been applied to a yell low fever patient and that mosquito Is applied at least twelve days thereafter to a we'll person, It's bite will produce case of yellow fever. The disease will manifest itself In about five days
 Seventeen days. therefore. appears to be the period, roughly stated between the first case and the second case, called the secondary infection.
 In Pensacola the first cases were dis covered August 2S and 24. A mos- quito having access to these ctses within three days from the beginning them aud twelve days later Is ripe" for imparting the infection to human beings. August 23-26 embraced the we have an inside limit O: September 5 and extreme of September s. On or about these dates the mosquitoes car ryirg secondary infection should be biting the we'll and two to five days thereafter. there should be a marked increase in the number of cases. There fore a large increase in cases was to tember 10; and the record shows that the looked for increase has taken place. From now on, however, there should be a decrease, because as soon as the fever was discovered the screening of the sick began, and this has been persisted in. Few of the stegomyia are getting new infection, consequently there is a lessening of the number of active agents for the spreading of the disease.
 The task before Dr. Porter and his assistants Is a heavy one, but condi- tlons in Pensacola are more favorable than those in New Orleans, and as good, IL not better results should be obtained in Pens acola. We advise that the people of Pensacola be not discour- aged. They have probably experienced the worst of the presan visitation.

 Chicago, Sept. 13.--The relations be- tween the railroad companies and their union freight handlers, who are de- manding an increase of 10 per cent in wages, assumed a more concilIatofy aspect today and the indication to- night are that the threatened strike of the 5000 freight handlers will be averted. Although refusing to treat directly with the freight handlers union, the railroads havo agreed to meet the employees as individuals and arrangements have been made by the union to have committees representing the men in each of the freight houses to meet the railroad officials tomorrow In an effort to reach some sort of an agreement

 The despatch says that nothing is known to the Berlin authorities regard ing any anti-German utterances made by Mir. Miller in his former capacity as newspaper writer.
