Tt ls the general opinion among physicians with whom I associate" writes correspondent of the New York Medical Journal that the fash ion of women riding astride has not had it's origin in fad so much as 1t has in the advice of physicians of our modern tyw.

REFUGEES IN FEAR
Kaytian Revolutionists in the French Legation Prepare
 for Attack.
RUMoRs OF EXECUTIONS
stories of Summary Action in Case of Political Prisoners Denied by
 Government.

Port au Prince, April 1.-The spirit of uncertainty and of unrest still pre- walls in Port au Prince The recent abortive attempt at second uprising here, in which General Larrque, chief of the cavalry, and several other army officers are alleged to have been mpl- cated has given, the goverpment cause for making searches in all quarters of the city in the hope of finding others they suspect of being involved in the plot.
 Tho French minister to Haiti, NJ. Carleion has recently shown consider able alarm concerning the action the llaitien government may take against the refugees now asylumed in the French legation. some of the refugees themselves state that the minister has advised them to procure pistols to de- fend tseir lives. According to the ref nEees, M Carteron declared to them that he was unable to guarantee rrotec- tion In the event of an attack upon tho legation by government troops.
 The French minister, when asked to- day m regard to this statement de- elined to deny or affirm It, but he did say that he had made q representation Q fthc ease to Morno. the minister of
 
 contention that the giving of sanctuary to the refugees was in absolutely le- gitimate proceeding
 IL Is generally believed here that the alarm of tho French minister Is un- founded. Up to the present the gov ornments attitude has been concilln- tory one, and fl seems to bo it's lntcn- ton not to offer the slightest excuse for foreign intervention.
 There are rumors here that sum mary executions continue In nearby country districts. For a long time past tho government has had a large mum ber of so-called political prisoners in hand, and fl Is reported that almost nightly some of these are taken from the prisons, transported to the conn try districts. not very remote from tho city, and shot. This the government vehemcntly denies.
 The French cruiser D' 'Esirecs has not returned here from the Island of St. Thomas, to which she took the refu- gees from Gonaivcs. The German cruis- CT Brr men returned yesterday from Kingston and the United States crnis- or Des Moincs and tho gunboat Mari ctta are still here. The gunhoat Eagle left two days ago. and tho gunboat Pa ducah sailed for Guantanamo tn-dav, where she will ccal, late returning to Port au Prince.

New Telephone Rate.

The New England Telephone and
Telegraph Company and the Southern
Massachusetts Telephone Company
have announced that on and after Feb
ruary LIST, 1908, the night rate for their
toll service will apply between the hours
of 10P. NJ. and 4 P. NJ. instead OF be-
tween p. NJ. and A. NJ.
An official of the company says
"This change is necessary on account
of the practice which has grown up OF
deferring calls which would ordinarily
ar rnnuc tnrongn the uHy, until alter q
p. N. when the night rate goes into
effect. The result of this practice has
been TO crowd a very large number Of
calls into a short space of time immedi-
ately after 6 P. NJ. The effect of this
congestion of traffic is to place such a
strain on the plant and operating force
that necessarily large number of calls
are lost or delayed.
"The Company believes that this
change will take severe and unnec-
essary strain off the plant and operat-
ing force by cutting out the rush hours
and distributing the traffic more evenly
throughout the day; and that for the
same reason it will greatly improve the
of the service to the general
public"
