GENERAL AMTEN0R FIRMIN
Elk President Of Hayti Dies at St.
Thomas in Virtual Exile.

Port-au-PrinCe. Sept f9 - Dispatches
from ST. Thomas danish West Indics) an
nounce that General Antenor Firmin, who
deserted his post as Haytian Minister at
London TO help overthrow President Simon
Of Hayt died here to-day
Firmin led one Of the two revolutionary
parties and was a candidate for the Presi-
dency in succession to Simon. General Le-
conte, the other revolutionary chief, was
the first however, to reach here after the
success of the revolution had been assured,
and he assumed the Presidency before
Firmin could muster sufficient strength to
oppose him.
For a time a conflict between the follow
ers Of Leconte and the adherents Of FirmIn
was feared, but on August 4, two days
after Simon had left, Firmin, who had re-
NAMED on board a vessel in the harbor Of
Port-au-Prince, sailed for st. Thomas,
where he remained
General Firmin fought for years 70 sat
isfy an ambition which he appears TO have
abandoned when. last August, he turned
his back on his native country and fol-
lowed into virtual exile his former chief,
whom he had helped to overthrow TO his
own disadvantage Firmin was man or
considerable education and culture. He was
the author Of a book entitled President
Roosevelt and Hayti."
In the spring Of 1902. following the resig-
nation Of President Sam and the estab-
lishment Of provisional government, a
revolutionary movement In favor or
Firmin developed, and in July he was pro
claimed President al Artabonite. His
tenure was very brief civil war fol-
lowing his assumption OF office. He was
defeated and driven into exile by General
Nord Alexis. who assumed the Office of
President in the following October He
later conspired against Nord Alexis, hu5
when the latter was finally deposed Firmin
arrived at Hayti only 10 find General 81
mon already installed as President He
made the best of the situation, and ac-
cepted from Simon the mission Of Hayuan
Minister 10 Great Britain.

and of good will for King George from
British communities and societies in for
ein cities and even from foreign bodies
All these addresses have received
stereotyped official acknowledgment But
that does not mean that they have ever
been seen by King George. and one is
tempted 10 ask ones self what possible use
there can be in wasting the trouble and
money IN sending such utterly useless
things. Some OF them arc handsomely
framed, others contained in caskets. and
under the circumstances It is fortunate
that the government departments at

PORTUGAL TO SELL

Rare RoyaI Collection.

rco,rrisht. 1911, by the Brentwood Company
Among the rarest works contained IN

The Latin is Of the most exquisite purity
and inasmuch as this practice has been
IN vogue for the last three hundred years
and none have received these books save

likewise endeavoring 10 sell the collec-

THE DRAMA
BeIaSC0 Produces "The Woman"
by w. c. De Mile.
GEORGE ARLIsS IN "DIsRAELI'
AT WALLACK'S.

Mr. Belasco has moved in from the ma
tonal capital. and elsewhere the latest
of his productions Of last season a three
act drama called The Woman" written
by William c. De Mile. That It is pro-
duced in the best Belasco style with all
the care for detail and all the consideration
for realism and illusion that dfferentiate
the work Of this manager from the work
Of any other I'm this country, goes without
saying, and yet may be said because the
distinction IS ever present. Mr. Belasco
gives TO any play that he presents some
thing more than "touches"-he gives him
self Just as he has formed players, so
has he formed plays. To what extent he
has given form 10 Mr. De Miles drama
may not be known, but he has at all
events given It utterance. Mr.. De Miles
idea is a good one. From the dramatic
point Of view It is a powerful one, and,
more than that, II IS a novel one, and well
worked out An operator at a telephone
switchboard deliberately refuses 10 con
meet" and thereby illustrates conspiracies
and balks intrigues This and the conse-
quences give a new turn TO stage telephony,
and it IS shown how the woman at
the switchboard can control the wires that
move the modern world II her personal
sense OF right overcomes the company's
orders The practice II common I'm real life
might revolutionize commerce, politics and
society and with results not quite IN ac-
cordance with the ethical views OF the at
tentive ladies thus engaged. but I'm the play
the results aimed at are achieved, and Mr.
De Mile scores with an effective scene The
action Of the play IS supposed 70 occur In
Washington, and the political machine in
power IS shown in operation. But the play
IS not q political play. and the politicians
are only figures I'm the dramatsts game.
They seek 10 crush one OF their number
by publishing a scandal about him. But
they cannot identify the woman In the
case. The switchboard girl knows, but re-
fuses 10 tell. and upsets their plans. All
Of which means that the heart interest
is the dominating interest OF tno play, Sld
that the party boss and the regulars, and
the insurgents and the Amen corner
of the Hotel Keswick do not rule this
spinning planet. The women do that
And In Mr. dc Miles plot they play into
each others hands. The politicians who are
ready 70 destroy the reputation OF the
missing" woman discover at the last mo-
ment that she is the wife Of one OF their
chief members and the daughter OF their
boss. They drop the chase and lose their
hill. defeated in their public methods and
their private lives by their own weapons.
The play aroused keen interest and was
well acted. Messrs. Cope, Holt and Hast
ings were especially good; Miss Nash made
a hit. and Miss Peyton played an unusual
part with fine discretion. The success or
play and performance Is unquestonable.
