UNCLE SAM'S MAIL SERVICE HAS BEEN IMPROVED DURING THl£ YEAR JUST ENDED. LESS MONEY PAID RAILROADS Many Other Reforms and Betterments, According to Report of Second Assistant Postmaster General. Washington, 1). ('. —Exclusive of reg ! istered matter, the railway mail ser ! vice during the last fiscal year handled i 21,650,849,740 pieces of mail matter, ac i cording to the annual report of Second j Assistant Postmaster General Stewart. ! Because of practically Illegible ad j dresses 35,565,361 pieces required I special attention, with the result that i 18,988,626 were returned to senders or I corrected and forwarded. A new division of the railway mail J service, embracing the states of Ore j gon, Washington and Idaho and the | Territory of Alaska, is recommended. Favorable consideration of congress is asked to a recommendation that i postal clerks be allowed traveling ex- I penses while away from their homes, I and also that postal clerks who have become unfit for active service by rea | son of advanced age or physical disa j bility incurred in the line of duty be retired with suitable pay. For the transportation of all classes I of mull matter the department during tho year expended $81,157,720. A con j siderable saving was effected in con nection with the weighing of mails in the southern states. In consequence of the use of the new divisor the rail roads received $434,734 less than would J have been paid under the old system. | Altogether the new system of weighing | has resulted so far in a net saving of $2,220,108 per annum. Because of the I equalization of the rates of pay to I transportation companies, the report states, a more equitable basis of com- I pensation has been reached, with re sults mutually satisfactory to carrier and the department. Still further economies are recorded. A review of the railway postoffice car service resulted in the readjustment of the car space on a number of routes, thereby effecting a saving of $272,040 during the year. So-called half lines of railway post office cars—that is, where the postal needs in one direction warranted the authorization, but in the opposite direc tion did not —are dealt with at length. During the year additional parcel post conventions were negotiated with the Netherlands, Uruguay, Italy 1 , France and Austria, and the parcel post rate of 20 cents a pound to Bolivia, Chile, Ecuador and Peru was reduced to 12 cents a pound. FOR THE SAFETY OF MINERS Experiments at Meeting of American Mining Congress at Pittsburg. j Pittsburg, Pa. —Coal operators, mine j owners, engineers, practical miners, scientists and national and state I officials, all here for the meeting of the American Mining Congress, on Thurs- I day afternoon witnessed a series of | tests in an artificial mine, in the fed- J eral government laboratory and testing station recently established here, in J which conditions of real mines were I reproduced, so far as possible, showing ! the results from various explosives and from so-called safety agencies. The first test was with safety powder, dry fire clay and bituminous coal dust, the latter placed on shelves representing ledges in real mines. The powder was ignited for the blast and did not ex plode the dust. There was a terrific explosion during the fourth test, when 1.1 pounds of black powder and 20 pounds of road dust (actual mine dust) | were used. The recoil was strong and j the flames covered the full length of the aitlfjcijil mine. The test proved the combination to be exceedingly dan gerous. Experts of the station, wear ing the Draeger oxygen apparatus, in cluding metal and glass hoods, chem j ical chamber and air bag, designed to j render breathing normal or nearly so j while the operator is surrounded by t these most deadly gases and vapors, j hurried into the gallery still filled with the fumes of the explosion and appar- I ently were not affected by any of the gases. This device is designed partic ularly for rescue work and was used with good results at Marianna. Isle of Haiti in Chaos. Port au Prince, Haiti.—For many hours during the night following the flight of Nord Alexis, riot and pillage prevailed in Port au Prince. The pop ulace, maddened by the spirit, of re | volt, gave full vent to their passions. I They looted stores and residences and fought among themselves over booty | and were only held in check by an I armed force. Twelve persons were I killed and many wounded before order was restored.

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY DECEMBER 10, 1908 HAITI'S PRESIDENT DEPOSED TAKES REFUGE ON BOARD A FRENCH TRAINING SHIP. Port au Prince in Hands of Revolu tionists and a New President Has Been Proclaimed. Port au Prince, Haiti—President Nord Alexis ban been deposed and Is now sale on board the French train ing ship Ituguay Trouin and Port au I Prince is in the hands of the revolu tionists. Gen. Autoine Simon, the leader of the Insurgents. Is marching up tho peninsula with an army of 5,000 and a new president. Gen. Legl j time, has been proclaimed. At the last moment President Ale* I Is yielded to the urging of those about ( him and decided to take refuge aboard j the French warship. At f> o'clock a j salute of 21 guns announced his de j parture from the palace. Thousands ' ha<l gathered there early in the day | and they had surged around the entrances, threatening to tear down the walls to drive out the president and his loyal followers. As the hours passed the great mob became In furiated, shouting for him to leave the country. The mob was armed and men and women heaped curses upon the head of the aged man who had been deposed from the presidency. So serious was the situation that the French minister, M. Carteron, and other foreign representatives, to gether with members of a specially appointed committee, forced them selves upon the president, who finally consented to withdraw. Shouts greeted him as he stepped from the precincts of the palace and into a car riage which had been provided. M. Carteron, carrying the French tri colors, sat beside him and the minis ter threw the folds of the flag over the shoulders of the deposed presi j dent to protect him. All along the route the people who j lined the streets shouted, jeered and | cursed at the fallen president, but | when the landing stage was reached j the mob lost all restraint. The scene j was tragic and shameful. Infuriated | women broke through the cordon of troops and shrieked the coarsest in sults into the very face of the presi dent, who strove bravely to appear undismayed. They tried to hurl themselves upon Alexis and fought with hands and feet against the soldiers, who found diffi culty in forcing them back. In order to disingage him the troops dis charged their guns, several shots be ing fired. During this time a space was cleared and Nord Alexis, with the French colors draped about him, was hurried aboard a skiff in tow of a steam launch, his suite tumbling into the skiff after him. As the launch drew away three Haitien gunboats and the French and American war ships in the harbor fired a salute to the fallen president. BURGLARS SECURE BIG HAUL I They Dynamited Bank Vault Three Times and Make Good Their Escape With $14,000. Pepperell, Mass.—Fourteen thou sand dollars in cash was secured by burglars, who early Wednesday blew open the vault of the First Na tional bank here. The thoroughness and skill with which the work was performed has convinced the police that the burglars were professionals. Three men were in the party, and al though they were seen escaping in an automobile, all trace of them was soon lost and tho authorities were un able to ascertain in which direction they departed. It is believed, how ever, that the burglars went from here to Groton. The bank vault was blown open about 2 o'clock at which time the last of three explosions was heard by Ernest Tarbell, who was sleeping next door. The two earlier detona tions had aroused him, but he was un certain as to their origin, as the sound was muffled. The third explosion, however, was less guarded and was followed by a crash and rattle, as the vault door fell away and interior glass fittings were broken. Tarbell armed himself with a revolver and started to investigate, only to find the door of his own house barred from the out side. He succeeded in breaking open his door and Immediately started for the bank. Tarbell reached the bank just as the robbers were leaving in an automobile. After shouting an alarm Tarbell fired several shots at the burglars. The shots were fired at a distance of some 20 feet, but there is no indica tion that any of them took effect. Tarbell, who followed the automobile for some distance along the main street, is reasonably certain that the machine took the road to Groton. Cashier Henry F. Tarbell, who was Immediately notified of the robbery, came to the bank. He found a Quan tity of bills and silver scattered about the vault, giving evidence of the hurry with which the burglars secured their booty. i Pittsburg Brokers Make Assignment. Pittsburg.

Commemorates Horrors Endured by Captured American Soldiers— Movement Begun Ten Veara Aflo —Big Sum Raised. N'n\ nrk.—Brooklyn hart aMr rtay recently when 'he ceremonies and celebration incident to the unveiling of the stately monument to (he prison ship martyrs of the revolution took place at Fort Green park. Kxtra In '•■lest was lent to the occasion by tho presence, among other notables, of W. H. Taft, who made his first public appearance in New York as William Howard Taft, president-elect of the ' tilted States. Mr. Taft some months ago accepted the Invitation to deliver the oration of the dny. Among other prominent men who took part In the ceremonies were Gov. Charles E. Hughes, Gen. Luke E. Wright, secre tary of war; Mayor McClellan and Gen. Horatio C. King. The celebration also was notewor thy from a military viewpoint, as there was a parade of several thousand men from both the army and navy. The parade was in charge of Maj. Gen. Charles F. Roe. Stephen V. White, president of the Prison Ship Martyrs Monument association, for mally turned over the monument to Gen. Luke E. Wright, representing the war department. President-elect Taft then delivered the oration. The dedication ceremonies mark the end and climax of a movement begun ten years ago by those who deemed the sufferings of the American men and soldiers imprisoned on the foul British prison ships during the war of the revolution In and around New York harbor should be commemorated fittingly. Popular subscription books were opened, but not much headway was made until the war department -I k&j I Prison Martyrs' Monument. was prevailed upon to appropriate SIOO,OOO toward the erection of the contemplated monument. New York state followed with an appropriation of $50,000, and the city with $25,000. Twenty-five ihousand dollars was then raised by popular subscription. This last amount was collected largely by the efforts of Mrs. Horatio C. King and Mrs. Stephen V. White, to whom much credit is due. The corner-stone was laid two years ago. The monument is one of the largest and most beautiful of the kind in America, being the last design of the gifted Stanford White. It is 200 feet high, built of Maine granite. It is in the form of a replica of a column from tho Parthenon, rising on three large stone steps, or terraces, in pyra mid shape. Below the column is the opening to the crypt, in which are in terred such remains of the 12,000 patriots who perished on board the prison ships as could be collected. The names of 8,000 of these martyrs were obtained from the revolutionary rec ords of the war office in England, this being no small part of the labor of the association. Tho prison ships mentioned were mostly anchored in Wallabout bay, off what is now Wallabout market, during the war of the revolution. They were old sugar-carrying ships, used in bring ing sugar from the south to northern points, and were converted into prison ships by the British. On these old hulks the British authorities herded thousands of captured American sol diers who refused to take an oath of allegiance to England. The majority of these prisoners perished miserably and this monument is erected to com memorate the horrors they endured. The American Woman. Who shall say which is the true American woman, th® housekeeper of the Kansas farm, of the Tennessee mountain cabin, or of the city flat? There is no composite of the Amer ican woman, who is least of all to be studied in Fifth avenue or Newport, or to be judged by the "stories" about her in the Illustrated Sunday supple ments. That she has 4>.er faults, wherever she be, la perfectly obvious, since she is but human.
