Other and II France Does Not Act
Quickly, the Island of Guadalupe
Is Doomed.
New York, May 8.-Cabling under
Mondays date the Herald's correspon-
dent at Point Apitre, Island of Guada-
loupe, French West Indies, describes
the rioting that followed the elections
of Sunday as having occurred at that
place. Earlier advices from Basse-
tre, the capital, told of the killing of
M. Boiseneuf, a candidate for re-elec-.
tion to the general council, of two So
cialists, and two unknown men dur
Ing an attack on Boisneuf's home. He
says:
"The scene is indescribable. One
candidate was attacked while he was
In his house surrounded by his fami-
ly and friends. They defended them
selves desperately. Two persons were
killed and many wounded, among
whom was fireman and police, both
acting with the mob. The mayor of
the city had furnished arms to the
, police and f1remen which they used
wildly. Despite the presence of ma
rines, landed from the cruiser Troude,
houses were sacked and the furniture
completely destroyed.
Stones were thrown at the marines,
who stood motionless witnessing the
destruction. The mayor, chief JUS
tice and other authorities were pres
ent, but made no effort to restore or
der. The situation can thus be de.
fined:
Two parties oppose each other here.
The Liberals and the Socialists. The
latter are controlled by the mayor,
M. Legitimus, who is running on their
ticket for deputy. They declare that
all persons who are not Socialists
must be destroyed with their property.
Many who are attacked in the streets
were obliged to kneel down and cry
Viva la Sociale' or run the risk of
being beaten to death. The authori.
ties, civilian and military, are protect
Ing the Socialists. Whole families
have lost all hope, and are sending
their valuables to the various consu-
lates that are protected by troops, all
consuls having demanded protection.
1.-TWO more buildings were destroy.

and all commerce has ceased. The
provision market is bare, the country
people fearing to approach the city.

6RlDE-To-RE NEVER CAME.
Georgia, Parson Paid $50 To Get Him
Wife


Washington, May S.-Miss Lucille
Patterson and her pretty niece, Miss
Edna Kirk, both of Lewiston, Pa, are
charged with fraudulent use of the
mails.
BY means of a matrimonial paper
the government secret service agents
say these women collected sums of
money from men all over the UAited
States who wanted wives.
In the very peaceful community of
Ashburn, Ca, the Rev. ]. B. Dozier,
read that Mrs. Patterson was seeking
a loving husband, and he forthwith
wrote her.
Several letters were exchanged, the
clergyman proposed and was accepted.
The bride-to-be wrote asking for her
car fare from Lewistown to Georgia.
The pastor sent $50, but the bride was
not forthcoming.
The Rev. Mr.. Dozier grew nervous
and when his letters remained un-
answered, he appealed to the postal
authorities at Washington.
Other men who had sent money and
received no bride as per agreement
also wanted explanations.
A large number of other victims to
the tupe of from $40 to $35 each, have
complained to the postal authorities
of Mrs. Patterson's matrimonial ne
gotiations. Miss Kirk is alleged to
be an accOmplice

Manila, May 8-Governor General
Ide has telegraphed Secretary Taft
as follows:
"All the people of the Philippines,
irrespective of nationality are pro
toundly moved by the terrific disas-
ter which has befallen San Francisco
and its people.
In the name of all l extend the
most profound sympathy to all the suf-
ferers and request that you make
known this fact to the people of San
Francisco.
81 will forward in a few days a
draft for funds contributed by off
cials, citizens and organizations with
other contributions. 1t is not such a
contribution as we would wish to
make, but is an evidence of the deep
sympathy we fell. Our only regret
is that the poverty of the people pre-
vents us rendering greater assistance.
The Filipinos initiated the movement" "

Long Strike Seems Inevitable.

Chicago, May 8.-A long and bitter
strike involving probably all of the
building trade unions seems newt
able in the the building industry as
result of the attitude shown last night
by the structural iron workers at their
special meeting to consider the arbi-
tration proposal of the contractors.
The men voted to stand &rmly for
their full demands and equal deter
mination was shown by the contrac-
tors. 1t developed that the Ameri-
can Bridge company, backed by the
United States Steel corporation, has
entered the fight. Employers have
begun active preparations to conduct
a fight against the iron molders' union,
which has decreed strike against the
large foundries.

VALUE OF SEAWEEDS,
The Use of Irish Moss as a Food and
Medicine.

The Use of Irish Moss as a Food and
Medicine.
Irish moss is used as foundation for
many desserts in the dietary kitchens
where especial dishes are prepared for
invalids. An authority on the question
of seaweeds states that scurvy, the
dread Of sailors, caused by the absence
of potash III the salt meat which forms
a part of every ships provisions, would
be ameliorated l., the liberal use of sea
moss jelly, which is rich in potash
Irish moss has always Il place in the
medicine chest of The old fashioned
housewife, who pins her faith to its
healing properties for colds, sore
thrOatS, etc. On the coast where the
moss is gathered and also i'll the major
ity of Irish families the moss is boiled,
strained, boiled again with lemon juice
and sugar, until it is of the consistency
of sirup. 1t is taken hot, teaspoOnfuI
at time, and is said to be a very good
remedy for the maladies referred to.
The Indians use the ashes of seaweed
for granular swellings. 1t is also used
by the Chinese, and so highly is it priz-
ed by them both as a medicine and a
food that it Is gathered in some parts
Of the Pacific coast, principally at Mon
terey, and sent back to China.
The supply of seaweed OF every de-
scription seems inexhaust1ble, as that
pulled or reaped from the rocks is re-
placed by another and more luxuriant
growth the following year. On the At
lantIc coast it is harvested only during
the months from June to August, but
at Monterey it is gathered every day all

SLOT MACHINES.
They Were Used During the Til
and Reign of Rameses.


They Were Used During the Time
and Reign of Rameses.
A correspondent ofvthe Boston Her
aid writes: "It isstrue there are few
things new under the sun. Air BEDS or
what we call pneumatic beds, were
used by the Romans before the Chris
tlan era. The most remarkable duplIca-
ton Of an old invention is the nickel
1n-the-slot machine. This was first
used during the time and reign of Ram
eses. In the eighteenth dynasty Of
Egypt, for the purpose of supplying
holy water, that which had been bless
ed by the priests, to the people who
desired it. The machine was urn shap-
ed, with a small cylinder inside,
through which ran rod connecting a
valve at the bottom Of the cylinder
with one at the top. These We're oper-
ated by lever, which closed the bot
tom valve while opening that at the
top, when the cylinder would fill with
fixed amount Of water. To obtain the
water a cup was placed at the outlet;
coin OF three drachmae, equal to about
Is cents Of our money, was dropped
into the slot on8to a scale pan in the
end Of the lever. This opened the cyl
inder at the top and closed the lower
valve, allowing the coin to slide off, the
weight of water closing the top valve,
opening the lower one and allowing the
water to run into the cup. This is the
basis Of all patented slot machines of
the present time and dates back to
nearly 5000 B. c."

The danger of an early conflict be-

has been greatly increased by what
has happended within the last "a

The impression produced by the
official intimation of the new premier
that the emperor and the government
were sincerely desirous of working in
harmony with parliament, which was
accepted in good faith by the leaders
of the constitutional democrats, ena-
bling them to counsel moderation, has
largely been dissipated, and in its
place the old feeling of mistrust has
been revised.
The Liberal party is dumfounded in
view Of the semi-official assurances

mitigation late last night Of the OBJ
noxious fundamental law in a slightly
