No sooner was he back In Amapala than he placed his successor under arrest and shipped him back to the mainland. It looked for a few days as if General Valladares was to reign on forever, but the fine Italian hand of diplomacy soon showed itself. President Davlla Issued a decree closing the port of Amapala. declaring that it was in the hands of revolutionists. The Honduran government sent a detachment of troops down to the coast and developments were patiently awaited. The port being closed, no shipments came through. There was nothing on which the general couM levy duties. He. had no Income. ,Vhat money he had was dally dwindling, as he made his evening payments to his soldiers. He did not dare attempt a seizure of funds or provisions In the warehouses of the foreigners, for he was politely ' notified that Amapala would be shelled and that he would be shot If any move was made against the foreigners. The notice came from the commander of the German gunboat Bremen and Commander Anderson of the United States gunboat Yorktown. which had. In the meantime, relieved the Princeton. Army Grow Restless. The general was In dire straits. His army, seeing that the funds of their leader were growing short, became restless. General Valladares decided tilion a bold stroke to retrieve confidence. He sent ashore a detachment Kit one hundred and fifty soldiers to rout the government troops encamped on the coast. The detachment went ashore In barges, and did not return. When they landed they inarched to the

encampment of the government soldiers and surrendered. To make matters worse, one of the officers of the Valladares force went on a debauch. He drank so much liquor that he shot a telegraph operator, a foreigner, in the foot. "Almost before the echo of the shot died away, bluejackets from the Yorktown and the Bremen were, being sent, ashore. They took command of the situation and while the United, States sailor boys guarded the general, who feared the vengence of his unpaid soldiers, the German sailormen went around, collected and -stood guard over the guns with which the troops of the general had been armed. There was no disorder. The foreign, as well as native, residents of Amapala looked on and enjoyed the whole scene as one huge farce.. President Davlla was advised of the developments and as General Valladares promised to be good it was decided to simply deport him. A new commandment, one loyal to. the government, is now holding down the "boss" Job at Amapala; the port has been opened; customs collections are being made daily; the army Is being paid once In awhalle and General Valladares is off seeking rest and recreation. "If he comes back and agrees to pay the soldiers every day," said the department official, "he surely will be welcomed by the soldiers.

Some Gossip Gathered From The Gay American Metropolis

(Palladium Special) New York. Nov. 2. There Is nothing slow about .New York and no matter how dull things mar be elsewhere, there Is always "something doing" In Gotham. For awhile the political campaign kept things lively, then came election day and that was followed by a choice assortment of strikes with riots and bloodshed. Now, that the, strike of the taxlcab chauffeurs seems to be on the wane, the suffragettes threaten another onslaught and the possibility of another strike, of especial interest to the lower east side, promises to add a new thrill to the life of the big city. This latest strike is that of the sweet potato vender's, who for many years have been doing a profitable business in the Grand street district of the East side. These venders are equipped with little charcoal ovens in which they roast the sweet potatoes and the sell the fragrant "sweeties" in large quantities to the children in the vicinity of Grand street. The venders rent their little ovens from certain persons from whom they also buy the charcoal. Heretofore they used to buy their sweet potatoes wherever they could get them the cheapest. Recently, however, the owners of the ovens informed the venders that they would have to purchase not only the charcoal, but also the sweet potatoes from them. The venders would have been willing to do that, but the owners of the ovens asked fifty cents more than the regular market price

too much for the venders and they for every bag of potatoes. That was decided to go on a strike unless the supply men would recede from their excessive demand. A strike of the sweet potato venders would be a great calamity for the poor children of .the lower east side, who invest every penny they can get hold of in the delicious "sweeUes." There are countless charitable institutions, bureaus, committees, etic, in this city, not to mention the numerous phllanthropically inclined men and women who are supposed to make it their business to relieve distress and assist deserving persons in temporary need .of funds, yet every day brings evidence which tends to show that there are many Instances in which even deserving persons are unable to obtain relief when it is most needed.

She Isa." singer and tried to find work, but she is poor and cannot dress well and nobody seemed to wish to employ so poorly dressed a girl. She tried to approach some of the well known philanthropists, but without success and in her extremity she appealed to the police. The announcement that Ruth St. Denis, the famous dancer and originator of the oriental dance fad with which exclusive society amused Itself for some time, had gone into voluntary bankruptcy, has caused considerable surprise. As Miss Denis did most of her dancing in bare feet and in a much abbreviated and rather

scanty costume, it was believed - that her savings in shoes and' clothes would enable her to accumulate a snub fortune in a comparatively short time. But, according to her statement her assets represent only a little more than $1,600. while her liabilities are more than $11,000. Her assets Include costumes worth 9250 patents worth $100 and books worth 5. What seems to puzzle a great many persons is, what the dancer did with the large sums of money she is supposed to have earned by her exotic dancing.

WOMEN VOTERS ARE LIKE YOUNG BOYS

(American Nw Service) Spokane, Wash.. Nov. 26. "Women voters should remember that they are like the boys casting their first vote and are capable of holding offices at the present time, and I would not think of supporting a woman for commissioner in case the commission form of government is adopted," said May Arkwright Hutton of Spokane, president of the Washington Political Equality league in speaking of questions that have arisen since the right-to-vote franchise has been given to women of this state, adding: "Women must not abuse their privileges. Any right-minded woman will realize that she is in the class with a boy of 21 who is casting his first vote, and the

first thing to do is to study conditions and gain Information, which will take much time." When asked it she would favor a woman commissioner under any conditions, Mrs. Hutton said: "Absolutely not at this time. I was for votes for American women, Tha questions in such an office would ba new to the women. My idea u not that women should Immediately seek political honors, but that they should support honorable, capable men for such positions."

HAU

The word Quality as used by this furniture house means more than usual. It means first of all, better than appearances, for in furniture, particularly it is the unseen parts that are most essential. If the general construction "appears" good and sound, and proves after a time to be faulty and cheaply put together, it will quickly show its lack of quality. So with the finish. Unless you are an expert in judging the quality, in knowing the importance of the hidden parts, it will pay you to buy where Real Quality is considered the essential feature of the business. For years this store has stood for the best and today many pieces of furniture may be found in homes where they have served the owners faithfully for 30 years or more and are today as firm and reliable as the day purchased.
