Pats Way of Saying Ii.

Pat had heard some one quote the
time honored wedding congratulation
to the happy pair, MAY all your trou-
bles be little Ones" and it tickled his
fancy. Not long ago a friend of his
entered into bliss, and Pat was hardly
able to hold back his congratulations
until the ceremony was over. AS soon
as he could he rushed up to the couple
and, grabbing each by the hand, he sang
out, "Long life to the both of yez, and
may all your throubles be little ba-

Asiatic immigration continues
to be a topic of more or less in
terest ana the letter written by
President Roosevelt, recently to
a friend in California, sets for t
the fact that he has been writing
to Japan about the matter and
is further evidence that the mat
ter will not down. It is not con-
sidered question of a yellow
"peril," but a. yellow nuisance
and is entirely nonpartisan. AS
one man puts it, sit is quite
plain that we are we'll within our
rights in objecting to our land
beng overrun by Asiatics; and
since it is becoming patent that
Asia is regarding the United
States as happy dumping
ground for her undersirables il
is time that, without any uncer-
tainty, we should stop it alto

DONAnUE CASE
Judge Bennett Banded Down Els
 Decision This Morning.

Judge Bennett of the superior court in decision this morning on the three special defenses in the suit or the state against Mary A. Dona- hue practically disposes of the case. Stripped of the legal verbosity in the twenty or more pages of the com plaint the situation is thus; Mrs Nellye Donahue Moriarty, wife of Dr James l.. Moriarty, brought suit against her aunt, Miss Donahue in the name of the state to recover some $4,00O, claiming that this money was due her from the estate of her fath- CT the late Attorney Thomas Dona- hue, and that Miss Donahue as ad- ministratrix never paid to her that money. There are three defenses to the complaint which, united, say in a few words that the defendant, Miss Donahue, was ready and willing to pay over the money to Mrs Moriarty but owing to c. F. Downey having got judgment for foreclosure of a mortgage note against Thomas Dona- hue's estate she was unable to deliv- CT the money to Mrs Moriarty.
 Counsel for Mrs Moriarty replies that inasmuch as Miss Donahue had sold the estate of her mother, Bridget Donahue and converted the proceeds into cash, it was her duty as admin istrator to pay to Mrs Moriarty her portion of the estate due her fathers estate from the estate of his mother, the said Bridget Donahue. Plaintiff held that on this ground the three special defenses offered were not good, but Judge Bennett holds that they are inasmuch as MT Downey se- cured judgment for foreclosure against that portion of Thomas Don- ahue's estate which otherwise would have become the property of the ac- tual plaintiff

 Port au Prince, Haiti. Dec. 1.-After q victorious march in which many gov ernment troops joined its ranks the revolutionary army under General An toine simon has camped against this city, which is within range of it's guns.
 Residents here expect bombard- ment, and panic conditions prevail.
 The great majority of the natives have closed and shuttered their stores and business houses and have put bars across the doors and windows of their residences.
 There is an uneasy feeling among the foreigners notwithstanding the presence in the harbor of the war ships of the United States and France from which marines unquestionably will be landed if the insurgents sue ceed in passing the gates of the city or at the first sign of disorder and pillage.
 Flags of different nations are flying from the homes of many of the for. eign residents, the markets are de. serted, and the country people. upon whom the city depends for its suste. nance, have fled precipitately and re fuse to return.
 The situation has become so grave that an official proclamation has been issued conyoking the chambers in ex- traordinary session so that measures may be taken to preserve the govern. ment or at least to effect compro- mise with the revolutionary leaders.
 There is great fear that the disaf. fected body of Haitians in this city may take up arms for the overthrow of the government. which. however, being forewarned. has taken precau. tions against this happening.

NEW STREET BROOM.
Doing Good Work on the Paved
 Streets To- Day,

The city has a hew broom at work on the paved streets to-day and it is doing the work to perfection. Were it not for the delay occasioned on ac- count of teams standing close to the sidewalks the big sweeper propelled by two horses would greatly reduce the cost of keeping the paved streets neat and clean all the time. When not hampered in this way it gets over the ground pretty fast, but the number of vehicles encountered rem ders it somewhat difficult to get the best results from 1t. Much of the delays met in the day time are not encountered late in the night and this explains why the machine is out so frequently when many are tucked away in their little beds.

BOARD OF HEALTH
Representative of Inclnerator Co Talked on Garbage Disposal.

The board of public health met yesterday afternoon and listened to James P. Maloney explain the good qualities of the Vulcan lncinerator company plant which he claimed has no peer in the country. MT Maloney understands his business well and told the board all about his plant except the price of it, It is likely that the merits of the plant will be looked into later.
 Commissioner Bland stated that complaints are numerous regarding nuisance caused by smoke from soft coal which is used In the furnaces at the Jacques. The matter was re- ferred to the health officer for in- vestigation and report This is some thing that has come up on and off for years, but it is hard to do any thing about it Some time ago at- tention was called to 1t by petition at the old Scovill house and the management never forgot those who simply stated the facts as the az grieved parties presented them. So that while soft coal is positive nuisance in thickly settled districts it is almost out of the question to get public officials to take steps to abate it.
 The report of Sanitary Inspector Callahan for the past month showed that there had been five cases of scarlet fever, fifty-six of diphtheria. eleven of measles, one of cerebro spinal fever, six of typhoid, eleven of tuberculosis. Of disinfections two were for scarlet fever and forty eight for diphtheria. The following schools have been fumigated: Si- monsville, Walsh, Webster, Sprague, Bunker Hill and Clay.
 Food and Milk Inspector Peter T. Keeley reported the inspection Of dairies, 33; cans, 17S; stores, 49; vehicles, IS; stables, 5; slaughter houses, q; retail markets, AT; bak- cries, 10. He analysed twenty sam pies of milk and found all up to standard.
 Health Officer Kilmartin reported that out of 56 cases of diphtheria, all but eight are now practically bet ter. He though the reason why it gained such headway was because it appeared in a mild form and many did not know what it was until after the patients should have been under medical treatment. This gave it a chance to spread
