Dispatches received at the State De-

volutionists under Auguste Simon are
drawing close to the Haytian capital,
and that the government Of Nord
Alexis. and the city of Fort Au Prince
will probably fall before another
twenty-four hours.
With the approach of the insurgents,
the plight of Nord Alexis as appar-
emily becomes more hopeless, as there
wholesale defections in the ranks of the
government forces. necessitating the
extreme measure OF tying the troops
together as they are embarked, TO pre-
vent their desertion before they get
on board. President Nord Alexis il
still firm in his desire 20 fight, accord
ing TO the dispatches. despite the
pleadings of his cabinet, which believes
that the end is near.
The Haytian government admits that
the insurgents are in possession OF
Miragoane. and the Strategic bldg,

GIVES
LOVE LESSONS
Invites COurtine Couples Of
St. Louis TO Attend
His Lectures

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 30.-"Love pirates
are not always consciously oulpable.
They are sometimes peculiarly SUBJ
jectod. The question OF affinity is a
strange and dangerous thing. but Is
nevertheless a vital truth of nature
There Is such a thing as two answer
able souls responding continuously.
without effort or win on either part
When such natures come together
there Is danger and perhaps consequent
suffering TO innocent parties. In nine
cases out Of ten no wilful wrong IS
perpetrated or intended by the guilty
ones. but only a lack OF strength 10
overcome one Of the most powerful and
masterful forces OF the universc-tho
call OF nature TO nature"
The Rev. Philip Gone Fletcher, pass
tor OF the First Methodist Church
south. so declared I'm a lecture on
"Vital Lessons IN Love" DR. t1etchr
Is instructing men and women of his
church on love. courtship and marriage
and he has sent out cards TO the mem-
bers stating that "courting couples arc
especially invited to attend" To fur
ther facilitate their suits he has inau-
gurated social hour TO follow tho
wednesday night services, az which
they can make time"
on the question Of 'love pirates" the
great problem recently raised by wives
who complain that business girls usurp
their husbands, Or. Fletcher says the
danger Is greater than is realized. He
SAYS also that the business girls sis
ters I'm other walks Of life would be
lust as dangerous were they as pecu-
liarly subject 70 the contagion. The
business woman comes In contact with
her employer in a very close way. She
enters his business life. which the other
woman does not, and II the dangerous
community OF natures arises there Is
trouble for all concerned.
on the question Of courtship, DR..
Fletcher names three things which as
an ardent lover he would not do: Il
would not visit her too often-not Of
tener than six times week; I would
not stay too long on my evening calls
not later than IL o'clock; | would
not propose until was sure she loved
me-until I knew It by the flash Of her
eyes and the clasp Of her hand"
