HAITI IS li CHAOS
President Word Alexis, De
serted, Ready to Resign.
TROOPS JOIN INSURGENT ARMY
Unpopular Ruler May Abdicate In
Favor of General Gilles or
Solon Menos Many Cab
inet Officers Quit.
Port nu Prince. Dec. 2. With a vic
torious rebel Jinny at Its gules and
Villi most of the cubtiict ministers
..abandoning their posts, Tort nil Prince
nnd the whole of the republic is In u
stale of chaos.
Deserted by his so called friends
and supporters and 'in despair at see
ing his troops Join the rebel forces,
the unpopular president. Nord Alexis.
Is said to be about to abdicate.
The expected battle between the rev
olutionists and the troops of the gov
ernment, which are Intrenched out
side the city, may be deferred for sev
eral days.
General Antoine Simon, the com
mander In chief of the revolutionary
forces, has decided to attack .lacmel.
which lies thirty miles to the south
west of this city and which Is the
only town that has remained loyal In
the department of the south, before
bombarding Tort nu rrlnce.
It Is believed, however, that the sit
uation so far as the government is
concerned Is lost. Louis Bnrnn. the
minister of state, has handed in his
resignation and has taken refuge In
the German legation.
There now remain In office only
three of the high government officials
General I.econte, minister of the In
terior General I.aleuu, minister of
justice and public Instruction, and
General Marcelln, minister of llnaiico
and commerce.
All the other ministers have resign
ed, with the exception of General "
lestln Cyrlaque, who after his recent
defeat at the hands of the Insurgents
Is believed to have found nsylum In
one of the foreign consulates.
It was I.ouls Ilorno who took up the
portfolio of state, relinquished by Gen
eral Sunnon when he sought refuge.; In
the French legation last March after
"resigning." He was credited witliMn
duclng President Alexis to permit 5fne i
departure In safety of General I-Mr-
mln and the other revolutionary aglta- ,
tors, who had tied to the legatlonsiind i
consulates at Tort nu rrlnce ancjHio-'
nalves nt'tho time of the last iipyLtfnt:.
It Is believed that the intent of
President Nord Alexis In cnlllfjg.'.an
extraordinary session of the clmiuDprs
is to have, them name hls2suc(je$for.
President "Alexis favors either of jRvo
candidates for the qfliee;GonerarTu
renne Jean Gilles audSql.on Menus, a
distinguished lawyer.
There Is doubt that nquoruni could
be secured because of Hie nbseuc of
the great majority of tlie deputies and
senators. . "X

The November number of American
Lawn Tennis, a handsome magazine
published in New York city, as the of
ficial organ of the United States Lawn
Tennis Association, contains an inter
esting article on the Banking Committee
of the U. S. N. L. T. A., which opens
with the assertion that "Ranking Com

history as no other set of men can pos
sibly do. They come and go, and, pass
ing from sight and memory ns they do,
their handiwork endures for nil time."
In the lawn tennis world the work of
the Ranking Committee is of supreme
importance. The honor list the sacred

STOCK HINTS.
Oats, wheat, bran, linseed meal, clover
hay and roots are the best foods for
breeding ewes.
It is better not to breed nny sheep less
than two years old. Then you get bet
ter lambs and your ewes arc apt to grow
to a much better size.
Sheep are dainty feeders. They will
not eat hay that other creatures have
mussed over. They refuse grain taken
from a ratty crib.
As the pigs grow they will need a con
stantly increasing amount of food.
They should be fed all they will eat up
clean three times a day.
The best way to sell your corn is
through the gristmill of the hog.
The right heat for scalding hogs is 180
degrees. If the water is heated to n
higher temperature the hair does not
come off so freely.
Lousy cattle may safely be sprinkled
with wood ashes, .rubbed with wood
sulphur ointment or whale-oil, or with
petroleum emulsion.
Do"iqt let the heifer form the habit of
dryijjttup ns soon as cold . weatherber.
"ginsrGive herplenty-of good fobdj' keep
her warm nnd comfortable, and she will
develop into a profitable cow.
Do not neglect the colts nnd calves.
An ill-kept yearling is bound to deterio
rate into a stunted beast.
A long halter strap in the stable is a
source of danger. It enables the horse

Careless Hunters.
. . '
. Aeuriy all. ot our exchanges since
the hunting season opened are more or
less filled with accounts of maiming or
death, from the accidental or careless
discharge of guns in the woods. For the
most part the casualties may perhaps
! be regarded as purely accidental, but

Ki,lm g'line liuiging in bi.u iroiu u
' s(lu'rtl'' a deer and filled full of shot
or dropped in a line uau, it is uimcuit
'to put so charitable a construction on the
tragical act. It is a penal offense at' any
time, even in play, to point a firearm
loaded or unloaded at a human being,
and yet parties trudge through the
woods, often creep through the under
brush and climb over fences nnd walls,
with their fully charged guns aimed di
rectly nt companions in front or rear,
when a twig "accidentally" catching
tho trigger, or a slight tap on the ham
mer would be almost sure to result in
maiming or death. Every caso of this
kind should be thoroughly investigated,
mm, -whenever gross carelessness is
proven, the offender should be punish
ed, instead, as is generally the case, of
receiving the commiseration and sympa
thy of his friends over the great misfor
tune nssumed to have befallen him ;in
crippling or snuffing out the life nf a
friend.
Womanly Wisdom.
There's neveratroublethatcoines tostay;
There's never a grievance but fades away;
Forget the heart-ache and bravely lend
A helping hand to some sadder friend.
Anxihtv is the worst feeljng in the
world ; yet men who stay late in town,
or who loaf long in saloons,, never know
the worry of the watching, waiting wife
or mother.
If you can't get turkey for Christmas
try chicken ; and be thankful that you
arc living to ent it.
Wokk up all old fence rails, useless
boards, dead trees and limbs nut of the
orchard into stove wood. This will keep
the farm free of litter and help solve the
fuel question. -
