His crinkled wool is snow white and his long, bony face seamed and wrinkled. He was born in Cape Haitien, August 2, 1820, his father being Baron Nord Alexis, the right-hand man oi Henry Christopher, who afterwards proclaimed himself king of Haiti, but who finally was ex iled. The mother of Nord Alexis was Mary Louise, the daughter of Dessalines, the liberator of Haiti from French rule. Nord Alexis was educated in a French Roman Catholic school in Cape Haitien, and at the age of 18 entered the Haitien army with the rank of lieutenant. During the administrations of the 14 presidents who had governed Haiti since the overthrow of President Boyer, Gen Alexis, with the exception of two short intervals, held the position of commander-in-chief of the army.

The summons to come up higher —unless Scripture and Emerson are mistaken—is addressed to him who of his own accord goes away back and sits down. By long odds the most ob served American in the delegation receiving Witte and Komura at Portsmouth was Mr. Gallinger—the only member who did not wear a silk hat.

Gallinger, United States senator from New Hampshire, is advocating an old-age pension for letter carriers who have reached the age of 70, provided they have served con tinuously for 40 years. Both of these condi tions, the 70 years of life and the 40 years of service, must be present to obtain a pension, and the probability is that the applicants will be few and far between. The senator was one of the most persistent advocates of the mail ship subsidy, and he madehis position very em phatic when he pictured the 16 battleships steaming into San Francisco harbor, two American battle ships for every merchant ship the United States has in the foreign trade of that ocean, The senator is a doctor by profession, and is a strong opponent of vivisection.
