.HAITrS PRESIDENT DEPOSED
TAKES REFUGE ON BOARD a
FRENCH TRAINING SHIP.
Port au Prince in Hands OF Revolu.
tionists and a New President
Has Been Proclaimed.

Port au Prince, Haiti.-President
Nurd Alexis has been deposed and Is
now safe on board the French train
ing ship Duguay Trouin and Port au
Prince is in the hands of the revolu-
tionists Gen. Antoine Simon, the
leader of the insurgents, is marching
up the peninsula with an army OF
5000 and new president. Gen Legi-
time. has been proclaimed.
AT the last moment President Alex
is yielded to the urging of those about
him and decided to take refuge aboard
the French warship. At o'clock a
salute of 21 guns announced his de-
parture from the palace. Thousands
had gathered there early in the day
and they had surged around the
entrances, threatening to tear down
the walls to drive out the president
and his loyal followers. AS the hours
passed the great mob became in
furiated, shouting for him to leave the
country. The mob was armed and
men and women heaped curses upon
the head of the aged man who had
been deposed from the presidency.
So serious was the situation that
the French minister, NJ. Carteron, and
other foreign representatives, to-
gether with members of a specially
appointed committee, forced them
selves upon the president, who finally
consented to withdraw. Shouts
greeted him as he stepped from the
Dracipctc of tho palaca apJ into n oor
riage which had been provided NJ.
Carteron, carrying the French tri-
colors, sat beside him and the minis
ter threw the folds of the flag over
the shoulders of the deposed presi-
dent to protect him.
All along the route the people who
lined the streets shouted, jeered and
cursed at the fallen president, but
when the landing stage was reached
the mob lost all restraint. The scene
was tragic and shameful. Infuriated
women broke through the Gordon of
troops and shrieked the coarsest in
suits into the very face of the presi-
dent, who strove bravely to appear
undismayed
They tried to hurl themselves upon
Alexis and fought with hands and feet
against the soldiers, who found diff
Guilty in forcing them back. In order
to disingage him the troops dis
charged their guns, several shots be-
ing fired. During this time a space
was cleared and Nord Alexis, with the
French colors draped about him, was
hurried aboard a skiff in tow of a
steam launch, his suite tumbling into
the skiff after him. AS the launch
drew away three Haitien gunboats
and the French and American war
ships in the harbor fired a salute to
the fallen president.

The American Woman.

Who shall say which is the true
American woman, the housekeeper of
the Kansas farm, of the Tennessee
mountain cabin, or of the city fiat?
There is no composite of the Amer

studied in Fifth avenue or Newport,
or to be judged by the stories" about
her in the illustrated Sunday supple

wherever she be. is perfectly obvious.
since she is but human. We are in
clined to think that a serious and
careful student would find the edu-
Gated woman less interested in politi.

FOR THE SAFETY OF MINERS
Experiments at Meeting of American
Mining Congress at Pittsburg.

Pittsburg, Pa.-Coal operators, mine
owners, engineers, practical miners,
scientists and national and state
officials, all here for the meeting of the
American Mining Congress, on Thurs
day afternoon Witnessed a series of
tests in an artificial mine, in the fed
eral government laboratory and testing
station recently established here, in
which conditions of real mines were
reproduced, so far as possible, showing
the results from various explosives and
from so-called safety agencies. The
first test was with safety powder, dry
fire clay and bituminous coal dust, the
latter placed on shelves representing
ledges in real mines. The powder was
ignited for the blast and did not ex-
plode the dust. There was a terrific
explosion during the fourth test, when
IL pounds of black powder and 20
pounds of road dust (actual mine dust)
were used. The recoil was strong and
the flames covered the full length of
the artificial mine. The test proved
the combination to be exceedingly dan
gerous. Experts of the station, wear
ing the Draeger oxygen apparatus, in
Guiding metal and glass hoods, chem
ical chamber and air bag, designed to
render breathing normal or nearly so
while the operator is surrounded by
these most deadly gases and vapors,
hurried into the gallery still filled with
the fumes of the explosion and appar-
emily were not affected by any of the
gases. This device is designed partic-
ularly for rescue work and was used
with good results at Mariana.

Prison Martyrs Monument.

was prevailed upon to appropriate
100000 toward the erection of the
contemplated monument. New York
state followed with an appropriation
of $4,000, and the city with $4,000.
twenty-five thousand dollars was
then raised by popular subscription.
This last amount was collected largely
by the efforts of Mrs. Horatio c. King
and Mrs. Stephen " White, to whom
much credit is due. The cornerstone
was laid two years ago.
The monument is one of the largest
and most beautiful of the kind in
America, being the last design of the
gifted Stanford White. It is 200 feet
high, built of Maine granite 1t is in
the form of replica of a column
from the Parthenon, rising on three
large stone steps, or terraces, in pyra-
mid shape. Below the column is the
opening to the crypt, in which are in
TERED such remains of the 10000
patriots who perished on board the
prison ships as could be collected The
names of 5000 of these martyrs were
ords of the war Office in England, this
being no small part of the labor of the
association.
The prison ships mentioned were
mostly anchored in Wallabout bay, off
what is now Wallabout market, during
the war of the revolution. They were
old sugar-carrying ships, used in bring
ing sugar from the south 10 northern
points, and were converted into prison
ships by the British. On these old
hulks the British authorities herded
thousands of captured American sol
diers who refused to take an oath of
allegiance TO England. The majority
of these prisoners perished miserably
and this monument is erected to COM
memorate the horrors they endured.

BURGLARS SECURE BIG HAUL
They Dynamited Bank Vault Three
Times and Make Good Their
Escape With $4,000.

Pepperell, Mass.-Fourteen thou
sand dollars in cash was secured
by burglars, who early Wednesday
blew open the vault of the First Ma
tional bank here. The thoroughness
and skill with which the work was
performed has convinced the police
that the burglars were professionals.
Three men were in the party, and al
though they were seen escaping in an
automobile, all trace of them was
soon lost and the authorities were un-
able to ascertain in which direction
they departed. 1t is believed how
ever, that the burglars went from
here to Groton.
The bank vault was blown open
about O'Clock at which time the last
of three explosions was heard by
Ernest Tarbell, who was sleeping
next door. The two earlier detona-
tions had aroused him, but he was un-
certain as to their origin, as the sound
was muffled. The third explosion,
however, was less guarded and was
followed by a crash and rattle, as the
vault door fell away and interior glass
fittings were broken. Tarbell armed
himself with revolver and started
to investigate, only to find the door of
his own house barred from the out
side. He succeeded in breaking open
his door and Immediately started for
the bank. Tarbell reached the bank
just as the robbers were leaving in an
automobile.
After shouting an alarm Tarbell
fired several shots at the burglars
The shots were fired at distance of
some 20 feet, but there is no indica-
tion that any of them took effect
Tarbell who followed the automobile
for some distance along the main
street, is reasonably certain that the
machine took the road to Groton.
Cashier Henry F. Tarbell who was
Immediately notified of the robbery.
came to the bank. He found a guam
tity of bills and silver scattered about
the vault, giving evidence of the hurry
with which the burglars secured their
booty.

UNCLE SANS
MAIL SERVICE
HAS BEEN IMPROVED DURING
THE YEAR JUST
ENDED.
LESS MONEY PAID RAILROADS
Many Other Reforms and Betterments,
According to Report of Second
Assistant Postmaster
General

Washington. ID. C.-Exclusive of reg
istered matter, the railway mail ser
vice during the last fiscal year handled
II, 1850, ,S49, ,745 pieces of mail matter. ac-
cording to the annual report of Second
Assistant Postmaster General Stewart.
Because of practically illegible adj
dresses 35,565.361 pieces required
special attention. with the result that
1S,9SS,G26 were returned to senders or
corrected and forwarded
A new division of the railway mail
service, embracing the states of Ore
gon, Washington and Idaho and the
Territory of Alaska, is recommended.
Favorable consideration of congress
is asked to recommendation that
postal clerks be allowed travelling ex-
penses while away from their homes,
and also that postal clerks who have
become unfit for active service by rea-
son of advanced age or physical disa-
bility incurred in the line of duty be
retired with suitable pay.
For the transportation of all classes
of mail matter the department during
the year expended $S1 ,157720 A con
siderable saving was effected in con-
nection with the weighing of mails in
the southern states. In consequence
of the use of the new divisor the rail
roads received $434,7 ,734 less than would
have been paid under the old system.
Altogether the new system of weighing
has resulted so far in net saving of
S2,229, 1OS per annum. Because of the
equalization of the rates of pay to
transportation companies, the report
states, a more equitable basis of COM
pensation has been reached, with re-
suits mutually satisfactory to carrier
and the department.
Still further economies are recorded.
A review of the railway postoffice car
service resulted in the readjustment of
the car space on number of routes,
thereby effecting saving of 1912 ,040
during the year.
So-called half lines of railway post
office cars-that is, where the postal
needs in one direction warranted the
authorization, but in the opposite direc-
tion did not-are dealt with at length
During the year additional parcel
post conventions were negotiated with
the Netherlands, Uruguay, Italy,
France and Austria, and the parcel
post rate of 20 cents pound to
Bolivia, Chile, Ecuador and Peru was
reduced to II cents a pound.

Isle of Haiti in Chaos.

Port au Prince, Haiti.-For many
hours during the night following the
flight of Nord Alexis, riot and pillage
prevailed in Port au Prince. The pop
ulace, maddened by the spirit of re-
volt, gave full vent to their passions.
They looted stores and residences and
fought among themselves over booty
and were only held in check by an
armed force. Twelve persons were
killed and many wounded before order
was restored.
