Measures for Public Safety.

Cape Haytien, December 3.-A number of prominent citizens here are trying to form a committee of public safety, but cannot secure the indorsement of the delegate of the Port au Prince govern ment to their proposed course of action. Followers of the various factions are at odds and outspohen in their dissatisfac ton at the attitude of the governmental delegate. A number of exiles are expect ed to land here on Sunday.

HEN WORKS ONLY AFTER DARK.
Tacoma Blddy's Habit Makes Her Un.
popular with Companions.

Tacoma has a freak hen. She Is a
non.union bird, according to other
hens, for she works overtime. Her
peculiarly is laying eggs at night.
The hen is owned by M. j. La
Vergne, of East Thirty-ffth street. He
bought her several weeks ago. At first
she absolutely refused to lay eggs, but
as her shyness in her new surround
ings wore off. she became good and
worked like the others.
La Vergne thought she was going
to prove one of the best layers in his
flock, but several nights later the FAM
lily was awakened by an unusual cack-
ling. Thinking a thief was at work,
La Vergne rushed to the chicken
house, but found no one, though the
hens were making big noise.
The next morning an egg was found
in the new hens nest. The next night
the same performance was repeated.
This kept up a week. and always there
was a new egg in the hens nest.
She is stlll at H. and is proving a
valuable layer But all this is playing
havoc with the other hens. Loss OF
sleep has made them cranky and they
have gone on strike Eggs are get
ting fewer in the La Vergne chicken
house every day.

Ice Hay.

This is Ice hay" said the groom.
1T is iuicier and tenderer than ordinary
hay, the same as a spring broiler is
juicier and tenderer than a stewer."
The hay was dark and rich in hue,
clean and fine.
But what is ice hay?" asked the
young lady.
why, you ought TO know that"
said he. Il thought you was educated
in Europe. Well, I'll tell you what ice
hay is, anyhow. 1t is an eastern grass
that grows in swamps and marshes
the rich and succulent product of a
succulent, rich soil. as the ad says
and in the winter, when the swamps
freeze over, the hay sticks up above
the Ice, and the farmers go out and
cut 1t dryshod, whereas otherwise in
the cuttin' they'd stand up to their
chests in mud and ooze.
The hay seems to grow out OF the
fee and so II is called ice hay. It's
dear as the dooce."

Little Danger Of Maid Again Wearing

Gopher Mines Most Valuable.

Mining Is an uncertain business
even at best" said George A. Walker
at the Republican. "The most you
can say Of it is that you are investing
your money in hole in the ground or
on the prospects of some one else's
ideas being correct Even when you
invest In an established mine which
seems to be paying large dividends,
you are running the chance of the
veins coming to an end and your
stock going down to almost nothing.
OF course, this is rather an unusual
occurrence and science nowadays can
pretty accurately tell what is to be ex'
pected from any mine after 1t has been
worked q short time. The most profit
able mines. however, are not, as might
be surmised, the gold mines. The one
mine In the United States which
pays the largest dividends to-day Is
copper mine. Copper Is easier and
cheaper to mine than gold, there Ia
generally a much greater output, and
less loss from waste or carelessness.

HUNDREDS OF
KIDNEY CASES
IN BENNINGTON

The famed DIR. Lyons Of Bellevue
Hospital has declared that his autop-
sizes show that nine tenths of men and
women over forty have kidney disease
and as probably one tenth Of the peo-
pie in Bennington are over forty thus
nine tenths of these would mean
many hundreds. But if DR.. LOOMS
statement is only partly correct, It
would show the astonishing preva-
lence of kidney disease Another and
important fact Is that kidney trouble
is not only durable but commonly gets
well of itself the first few weeks. But
If 1t has been hanging on and become
chronic II is then considered fatal,
and that 1t has been so Is shown by
the census deaths from kidney trou-
bles, now over $4,000 annually. This
frightful annual death list also shows
the futility of the scores of medicines
that claim TO cure kidney trouble.
While many of them are possibly help
ful during the first few weeks of the
curative stage, there Is only one thing
known that gets recovery In the chron
ic or supposed fatal stage and we
sent for il in the interest of people
here. 1t has a proven efficiency in
just this class, in nearly nine tenths
of all cases, and limits the cases cited
olely to the supposed incurable forms.
AS II Is impossible to say whether
a given case of kidney disease is in
the first or econd stage. the only sen
sible plan II you have kidney trouble
is to start on the only thing that will
relieve II in both stages.
If you have kidney trouble start
