An immense crowd of men and wo-

the arrival of the presidential carri-

the signal for wild tumult and riot
All along the route the people who
lined the streets shouted, jeered and
cursed the fallen president, but when
the landing stage was reached the.

The Scene was Tragic and Shameful.

Citizens Seize the City.

" E
The unrest which ended in the open
revolt of the revolutionists of Port
au Prince had been noticeable for
some days and it reached its culmin-
ating point early this morning when
regularly organized bands Of citizens
moved quietly about the town and
took possession of the various points
of vantage. No shots were fired and
the only resistance found was that
of the president, who barred himself
within the palace. w
/. One of the leaders in this move
ment charged that the American min
lister. H. w. Furness, was the chief
one of those encouraging the pres1-
dent to resist. Deserted by his min
listers, abandoned by those that he
had put into high ,fice, and reviled
by the whole population, Alexis had
little chance of escaping. His guard
had been reduced to minimum
through desertions and only few
of the troops remained loyal. III
Troops Desert. ~
The three divisions which had been
posted at the cross roads to oppose
the march of General Si1nons' fore
es, or what was: left of them, came
back into the city this morning in
disorder. The force was made up of
soldiers from the north part of the,
republic and these now have fed af-
ter having suffered civilians to dis
arm them without resistance.

WHY KILL THE BIRDS.

it was related in the papers re-
Gently that young man saw a
crane about the bog, and of course
the cry was Johnnie get your
gum" and accompanied by couple
of other boys, they watched for the
bird. Gun half cooked, they sat
and watched for the crane. By
reason of the ordinary carelessness
of boy with a gun, it slipped and
went off and so injured the boy
that he died.
1t was a sad affair and every body
was sorry tor the boy and for his
relatives. But why should he have
gone after the beautiful bird to kill
it 1t is not food fowl. 1t is
becoming very scarce, and ought to
be protected, at any rate allowed to
live.
There used to be many of them
along Fishingcreek. Now to see
one wading the water for fish is
an unusual sight.
Why could not the bird in its
beauty and loveliness be left alone ?
The birds are being driven from the
streams and woods and fields by
Johnnie with his gun. until the
robins and blue birds, and orioles
aud cat birds, and all our native
songsters have departed.
They eat more insects, in aid of
the farmers than the value of the
grain they are supposed to pick up,
besides their absence makes the
earth more cheerless, and the mu-
sic of the groves listened for in
vain. w.

UP THE CREEK.

Much has been said lately about
the beauties of Fishingcreek, and
the many campers who are spend
ing these hot days along its shady
banks. AT and near Forks seems
to be the most popular spot. Here
is the very pretty cottage and
grounds of County Commissioner
Jerry A. Hess, who with his esti-
mable wife, entertains their friends
most Hospitality. Last Sunday Fred
Richard and family, and Geo. Has
sert and family weie among their
guests, and many others.
A little farther up the stream is
the rustic building of "The Idlers. 4"
This has recently been completed.
1t is a two story cottage with a
wide porch all around it. 1t stands
in beautiful grove, near the creek
and is an ideal spot. The place has
been christened Camp Idleness. !"
The Club consists of ten members,
Chas. b. Ent, President Harry
Derr, quartermaster William Derr,
John G.. Harman, Frank Derr, An
thony Menzebach, J. Flaherty, Ed
ward Caldwell, o. w. Ent and

Last Sunday a fine dinner was
served by the Club to its members
and about dozen friends, among
them being Geo. D. Herbert and
William Thomas.
Not far away is James H. Cole
mans camp.
On the other side of the creek is
William Derr's hotel, which was
formerly the residence and store of
J. B. zimmerman. Mr.. Derr has
connected the two buildings with
rustic porch, and built two rustic
bridges across the creek to the B.
& S. Railroad. Last week more
than a hundred people day were
fed at the hotel, and this week too
is busy one. A party of about
twenty from Philadelphia are occu-
pying the Shaffer cottages and
taking their meals at Derr's.
On Sunday among those who
dined there were Judge Herring
and three other gentlemen from
Sunbury, and Ralph Kisner, Esq.

GREAT AIRshIP DESTROYED

For the past two days the entire
world has had its eyes on the WON
derful achievements of the great
airship of Count Zeppelin, which
has been making a ecord-breaking
fight in its trial for the prize offer
ed by the German Government for
the first dirigible balloon which
should remain i'm the air for twenty
four hours. The ship had travelled
over four hundred miles in Ger
many and was on its return trip
Yesterday. Some motor trouble
caused landing necessary for re-
pairs. 1t was while the giant bal
loon was at rest on the ground that
a sudden storm brewed and the re-
suit was disastrous. 1t is thought
that it was struck by lightning for
the entire craft burst into flame and
was soon a mass of wreckage. This
is most unfortunate ending to the
experiments, which had been so
successful. The scientific world in
general was interested in Count
Zeppelin's progress in aerial navi-
CATION, and the catastrophe is a
serious blow to him. The airship
was about four hundred and fifty
feet long and cost 500, 900.

AN IMPROVED OPERA HOUSE.

At last it is promised that we are
to have a playhouse in which it
may be possible for somewhat mod
ern conditions to exist, and where
play of higher sort than those
which we have had for many years
may be produced. 1t has been a
disgrace to the town that it could
show no better hall than that which
for years has been Iridiculously
named the Grand Opera House" "
1t has been the laughing stock of
all visitors to Bloomsbury, and the
disgust of all the companies which
have been so unfortunate as to be
booked here. The crude facilities
have rendered it almost impossible
to produce play in a satisfactory
manner. The poor exit arrange
ments have rendered it dangerous
for an audience. Altogether it has
been difficult to obtain either good
show or a good audience at the
place.
Now things are to be changed,
and operations have already been
begun on extensive improvements.
D. J. Tasker, formerly of this Of
fee, and now with Lyman H.
Howe, together with Pitts
burg man, has leased the house,
and expects to furnish the town
with something better in the theat-
rical line than it has been having.
The stage is to be made higher and
wider as we'll as deeper; the old
exit is to be torn out and a roomy
lobby constructed a horseshoe gall
lery is to be put in and an addi-
ton built aoove the stage which
will permit drop scenery to be used.
These, with minor improvements,
will greatly change the place, and
will make possible the production
of modern plays in a modern way.
There has been much talk of this
sort of thing, but this is the first
thing that has been actually done,
and the town ought to breath sigh
of relief that it is at last to have a
playhouse such as almost every
town of this size in the country can
boast of. We would suggest that
the name be changed from it's pres
ent incongruous form to something
more tasteful and suitable. With
a sensible name, an improved house,
better shows, and good manage
ment, the other requisite-good au-
diences-will be sure to follow. We
hope it will be a success.

reports from G. A. r. Posts in
Pennsylvania received by the Rev.
DR.. John w. Sayres, of Chester,
who is department chaplain, which
shows that Sc, 900 graves of depart
ed comrades were decorated on
Memorial Day. In the 1880 Gene
teries, AIS memorial addresses were
made. There are 523 posts in the
state, but some of the addresses did
not take place because the day was
a rainy one. Last year there were
I,Ioo deaths in the Grand Army OF

TENNIS.
Bloomsbury VS.. Danville.

Two tennis matches within the
past week between four represent
atives from both Bloomsbury and
Danville resulted in an even break
between the two teams. This town
was represented by w. S. Rishton,
DR.. R. E. Miller, Boyd F. Maize,
and Arthur Clay. Danville's team
was composed of Messrs. Watson,
Gosh, Price, and Welsh.
The first match was played on
the Normal courts here last Friday,
and resulted in a victory for the
home team. Rishton and Miller
won from Watson aud Gosh in
straight sets. Maize and Clay were
beaten by Price and Welsh, who
were in turn defeated by Rishton
and Miller, giving the match to
Bloomsbury.
On Monday the second meeting
of the teams occurred at Danville,
which ended in that towns taking
off the honors. Gosh and Watson
of Danville defeated Rishton and
Miller of Bloomsbury. Clay and
Maize of Bloomsbury won from the
Danville men, Price and Welsh,
The final set between Gosh and
Watson, and Clay and Maize is re-
ported to have been an exhibition
of exceedingly fast tennis, resulting
in Danville's victory.
A deciding match will probably
be arranged.
