BOTH DESIRE THEM. A LETTER-THAT JOE. nAWOirTHtPSIZES. :me Ehort torits Gleaned Parirj theWeet on a. Variety of Subjects. "White men have no business.in Haiti at the present time," said James G. Peterson yesterday, "unless they are French, English or Germans. These nations protect their citizens abroad, the Yankees do not, and heiein is where the American in half civilized countries is not respected or feared." Mr. Peterson is ilie representative. of a large Xow York house, and he travels extensively in South America asd the Cen tral American States. He spoke in a dis gusted tone, and said he was ashamed ot tne Lniteu states Government, as pow-j erfulasitis. I was driven out of Haiti, he continued, "through fear of losing my life. I can't say tl.at I am afraid to die, but I never had a hankering to sacrifice my existence cheaply. The Haitians are an ignorant people, and in the present state of turmoil in the country few foreigners are safe. I concluded it was best for me to get out and I did. I hardlv know what to think of King Hippolyte. He is half-barbarian and a tyrant of the wor;t type, according to the statements of some. Raving Like a 3Iad Suit. "I arrived in Port au Prince a few days after the massacre. The whole population was badly scared and Hippolyte was raving likea mad bull in his palace. The audacity f the insurgents surprised and angered him beyond all measure. He was bent on wholesale extermination, but his Ministers advised asainst it. Their counsels pre vailed. The people-think their King is in sane and they want him retired. "When the subject is broached to Hippolyte-he becomes furious and vows vengeance on everybody. The King has adopted the tactics of Bal maceda, the Chilean tyrant The people are subjected to a rank system of espionage, which is odious and very distasteful. Nobody is al lowed on the streets after 7 o'clock without a pass. It reminds one of "William the Conqueror's days, when the people went to bed at the ringing of the curfew.

In ADgry Scene in Court in the Love Case, as to "Which Shall HAVE THE CHILDREN IN CHAEGE.. Nine Euits.-for Divorce Entered Yesterday- Keep the Mill Busy. How a Rattlesnake Warmed Himself on a Raw Night. '"About two weeks ago I was camping with a party on the shore of Lake Erie not far from Ashtabula," said George Wilson, a mill worker yesterday. "Shortly after we had retired one evening I heard a pecu liar whirring sound which I recognized at once. 'There is a rattlesnake in camp,' I exclaimed, 'I am going to get up.' 'Hush,' came the word slowly hissed through the teeth from a companion near me. 'The snake has crawled into my shirt bosom.' This was said very soft ly, and we were almost paralyzed with fricht at the prospect. We were all afraid to stir for fear the reptile would take alarm and strike its victim. It crawled over his body good naturedly, evidently enjoy ing the warmth, for the night -was a little raw. At times the snake's head was close to his face, as he told us afterward. He feared the motion of his chest up and down in 'breathing would stir up the animal, and he tried hard to breathe as little as possible. Finally the snake crawled toward the fire, and in an instant the wholo camp was up. One seized a club and broke the reptile's back before it could make a spring. It measured nearly five feet "The man who had the terrible experience rcollapsed like a rag after the experience was over. During the ordeal we were all surprised at the coolness and nerve he dis played. With all danger past, he fell into a faint, but he was soon revived." A LETTER HE PBIZES.

JHSCELLANEOrjSUEWS FEOM THE COURT THOUGHT THEY WEEE GLASS. the hut four years all the countries south of the United States have been visited by num bers of representatives from American houses in search of trade. They have secured considerable business, and have beenmaking a strong cfibrt to please the people. Goods have been put uji in small packages, so that they can be easily carried over the moun tains on the back's of mules or transported bv boats on many of the shallow rivers. The Americans have trusted the people and given them time to pay their bills. JJut Little Idea of Government. "All through Central and South America the inhabitants have little idea of govern ment. It matters nothing to them whether it is republican or monarchial as long as they are not oppressed. They are lazy and lovers of ease. The climate certainlv is re sponsible for this. They areas quick to rebel, if things don't suit them, as a. Jersey raosquito is to bite victims at the seashore. Would I advise Uncle Sam to interfere in Haiti, or buy tip some of these Southern States? Well. I "hould say not. Tiiey are bankrupt, and the Government seems to have its hands full keeping down the Indians on the West ern plains. With a few countries like Haiti to manage the people would soon be ready to dump them all into the sea. Until these places become more civilized or depopulated through repeated revolutions, it would be well for Uncle Sam to keep a respectable distance." A EOT WHO WANTED TO KNOW A Father Gives His Child the Contents of Capsules and Kept the latter. A good story was told a Dispatch re porter yesterday, by a prominent physician, of a laughable thing that happened to him the other dav. He said: T was called on by a gentleman, who lived some five miles out of the city, to attend a.sick child. Upon arrival at tne residence a dose of medicine was immediately given for relief, and one dozen capsules filled and left to be taken as directed. About two days afterward the gentleman came to my office in great haste, saying that his child was dying from having swallowed one of those glass balls I had left at his house. He had taken the medicine out and gave it to the child, according to direc tions, and let it have the empty capsules to play with. The child put one in its mouth and swallowed it, giving the parents a .severe fright, they thinking the capsules were made of glass." Cannes Considerable Commotion Between Two Allrglipny Families. One boy who "wanted io know" has raised Cain in two Allegheny families as the re sult of his innoctnt prattle. A few days ao he was spelling his way through a book of poetical efiiisions, and coming across the word "gambol" on Feveral occasions, it aroused his curiosity. He had recourse to his nurse, who told him cainbol meant to leap or to jump. These v ords he pondered in his mind. Next dav one of the neigh bor's boys cnic around and challenged him to a jumping contest. He refused, and on being pressed remarked mphatically: "My mamma don't allow me to gambol." Ak luck would have it his mother came along just then and at once sailed into the neighbor's youth for attempting to entice her son to gan Me. Then the neighbor's wiie came out, ami a regular three-ring cir cus ensued. Much hair was dislodged be fore the contestants were through, and now the dogs of the rival houses growl in unison across the garden wall. Yesterdaji morning was the time fixed for a hearing in the habeas corpus proceedings of E. D. Love against his wife, M. D. Love, to secure possession of his three children. Mr. Love was represented by C. A. Sullivan, Esq., and Mrs. Love by -Attorneys Cassidy and Richardson. A large crowd was present, the case exciting much interest Judges Kennedy and Porter were on the bench. The case was opened by Mr. Eichardson answering in behalf of Mrs. Love. He de nied the charges made that she was an unfit person to have charge of the children, or that she was given to drunkenness and im morality. The charges M'ere not true, con tinued Mr. Eichardson, and were only made to bolster up the suit Love has brought for a divorce, it was true that Mrs. Love nad left the children alone on one occasion, but it was at a time when her servants had left her suddenly, at the instigation of her hus band she believed. She had affairs to at tend to, and left them provided for in every manner and in good hands. As to the drunk enness, she denied it, and charged that her husband was an habitual drinker, often to the extent of drunkenness. Also that he was not a fit person to have the children, and could not provide for them. The chil dren were also too young to separate from their mother, the oldest being only five years old. In conclusion, the Court was asked to allow the children to remain with the mother. Attorney Sullivan remarked that his client should be given time to make a re plication to the charges contained In Mrs. Loves' answer. They were not true,and he should be allowed time to answer them. It was suggested that the hearing be continued for that purpose. This was agreed to by the Court There was some discussion as to fixing a time. Attorney Cassidy wanted the hearing to be held in private, but to this .air. Sullivan objected. Judee Porter said it would hardlv be practical as there would probably be a largo number of witnesses. Mr. Sullivan re marked that he had 30 witnesses. Mr. Eichardson suggested that the case be al lowed to go over until September, when the testimony in the divorce proceedings would be completed. In the meantime the children could remain with their mother. Mr. Sullivan said that the matter should be settled speedily in the interest of the children. "Onlv last night," he said, pointing to the oldest child, "that boy, only i years old, was found across the railroad tracks in Wilmerding at 10:30 o'clock at night, fast asleep in a machine shop, v, hile this mother was in East Liberty with a male mend. Mr. Eichardson objected to Mr. Sullivan giving testimony, but Mr. Sullivan said he could prove it. After some further discus sion among the attorneys the Court fixed next Friday morning for the hearing. Mrs. Love, who was present, is a neat looking little woman with a trim figure and an excellent complexion. erected is not in accordance with the lease. No decision was reached. WANTS THE GuABDIAN BEHOVED. John It Green Desires to Take His Broth er's Child From Bev. Griffin. John E. Green, of Washington, D.

The petitioner states that he is desirous of raising the three children of his deceased brother, but that Eev. John Griffin, who is guardian of the youngest child, refuses to give him up, desiring to educate him in the tenets of the Eoman Catholic Church, though the child's parents and next of kin are Protestants.

There is not usually much pain, but a feeling of great weight and sometimes faintness after each meal' followed by sour eructations and belchinn- of gas. The bowels may be regular and appe tite good, but the weakened stomach, which should be in constant movement after a meal, lies dormant, allowing the food to soon decompose instead of digesting. This is a very common form of dyspepsia among the mentally overworked class, whose ner ous systems become depressed by long con tinued strains and sedentary habits If there is a remedy in the whole range of medicinal preparations that is in every par ticular adapted to this form of dvsncrTsia that remedy is Pe-ru-na. It not only acts as an appetizer, but it imparts to the stomach the vigor to property digest the food by awakening the paristaltic move ments of the digestive organs.

A lawyer Thinks He Sees Why Fltzslm , mons' Trial Was Postponed. "I think I can understand Tom Mar shall's dodge in wanting the Fitzsimmons trial postponed," remarked a lawyer last evening. "He is hoping that the new Judges will try the case in the fall, when he will put in a plea to the jurisdiction of the court. This point will have to be settled by the Supreme Court, and if their decision is adverse he can ap peal to the United States Supreme Court. This can be dono on constitutional ques tions. "Fitzsimmons must be tried in the next term, or under the act of 1879 he can be re leased on bail. The whole scheme, to my mind, is an astute trick, and it remains to be seen what will be developed."

In the Criminal Court yesterday Judges Collier and Slagle gave their decision on the motion for sentence to be imposed in the case of John Bodgere, the Allegheny stationer, who had been convicted of selling immoral literature in the shape of the Police Gazette. Sentence had been suspended, but Captain Wishart found that Eodgers was again selling the paper and wanted him convicted. The court had taken the matter under advisement until they could read the papers. Both Judges said that though the copies recent ly sold were not as bad as those Eodgers had been convicted of selling, yet the contents all tended in the same di rection and they were not proper reading matter. They would not, however, pass sentence this time, but should Eodgerp be Drougnt Deiore mem again tney would im pose a sentence, and a severe one.

Secure parlor and sleeping caraccommoda-tions. The trouble local insurauce companies have been put to lately to serve the public gratis is attracting considerable attention in business circles, and prompts outsiders to ask whether people are growing more dis honest, cither building too cheaply or burn ing property in order to realize on the in surance, or whether there is something radi cally wrong in the methods pursued by the companies. Some people think that, like sewing machine and book-publishing com panies, insurance companies arc employing too many agents, and dividing pre miums to too great an extent. It is feared by people that some agents in order to get business are apt to take risks rather loosely. While Pittsburg and Alle gheny companies are honestly paying their losses and some of them making a little money the fact that seven of them were forced to pass their dividends makes some people shake their heads. Irresponsible insurance companies are pretty well wiped out in this section at present, though a Fayette county merchant tells a tale of woe that it is thought ought to set the Insurance Commissioner on an investigation. It was thought by some people that the wildcat feature of the busi ness is quite prevalent hereabouts, but Mr. Hays, of Hays & Lowry, states that irre sponsible concerns that in past have done up people are pretty generally known now and only people who are verdant enough to take the bait of a cut rate get caught. A Few Frauds Yet Remain. Some West Virginia companies, without assets worth speaking of, did some business hereabouts for a time. Their plan was to pay small losses, thereby advertising them selves, but when they got caught for a large amount there was pretty sure to be a "lie down," unless they could escape on a tech nicality. The omnibus style of insuring does not always pay companies with small capital. In an exceptionally fortunate year they may make money, but they are apt to lose an entire year's profits by the burning of a large warehouse, mercantile establishment or flouring mill. Mr. J. C. Kohne, of the Citizens', admits that too much is paid to agents, but he says it cannot be avoided so long as foreign com panies compete so sharply. Formerly 10 percent W3s considered a fair remuneration for an agent, but now 15 -er cent is paid without question and some want 2Cnercent. and even as high as 25 per cent has been de manded, but tnis is not a go, strictly speak ing. Mr. Kohne takes the situation philo sophically. He says the lean must at times be taken, as fat cannot be had all the time. The last year has been an exceptionally bad one in Pittsburg, the Liberty avenue, Seventh streetand Wood street fires alone cutting into insurance companies' profits, but foreigners got their share as well as Pittsburg companies. AH Suffer Proportionately. The fact is that risks are now so divided that all companies suffer proportionately. For instance, when a local company takes a 55,000 risk it at once proceeds to reinsure half in some other company. It seems that insurance men get black eyes at tolerably regular periods, no matter how carefully they may discriminate, and their only chance is in a wide distribution of risks. At the same time it is notorious that there is much criminality in the construction of buildings. Competition is so sharp that unless a responsible architect be engaged to supervise there will be great risks taken in the construction of flues, and this matter is not likely to be remedied so long as wood is cheaper than iron and brick. If con tractors and sub-contractors were held criminally responsible an improvement migni oe eneciea. The Saturday Picnics. The shop men of the Ft.

His Success In Business Accomplished An Over-Taxed Brain With Nervous Pros tration tho Result Highly Commending the Treatment That Relieved Him. S. P. Boycr, one of our enterprising and influential business men, who has accumu lated a great deal of wealth in the oil busi ness, was at the Seventh Avenue Hotel yes terday, where he makes it his home when in the city. In conversation he said: "Yes, I have been a successful oil dealer, commencing at the lower round of the lad der, until now I am worked almost to death endeavoring to keep up with my business in fact, overdoing myself and this season have paid dearly for it in suffering from a severe attack of nervous prostration, ren dering me unable to sleep or rest. Many nights I walked the floor of my room trying to prepare myself for sleep. ' 'About a month ago I discovered a remedy for my trouble in electricity, an agent for which the public to a large extent entertain more or less prejudice owing to the false impression they have of its effects, probably caused bv someone riracticine on them who knew but little about it, as I have experi enced in the past. But for the benefit of the public, and in justice to an institution of this city, called the Electrical and Medi cal Institute, at 442 Penn avenue, I will say that they understand their business thor oughly, making the application according to the nature of the disease, and administer ing it in such a manner that an infant would enjoy it. You may think me some what enthusiastic, but when a person has derived the benefits that Ihave he cannot help feeling grateful." CHOICE PROPERTIES. no YOU WIT A :GO 10 TAKE NOTICE! TAKE NOTICE!
