Paris, Oct. &. Portugal’s monarchy has fallen ami the green and blue Hag of the Republicans floats over tin* palacu o! Hraganzoe. Information that a short and bitter revolution in Portugal had resulted In a victory for the Insurrectionists and that the Portugeese army and navy had deserted the royal standard ami joined the uprising was brought here today by automobiles from the fron tier. All telegraphic communications with Lisbon is cut off. Many are re ported dead not only in Lisbon but in other cities where outbreaks of vio lence occurred. A wireless report, from Stnntandcr said that, the war ships had hauled down their own col ors and raised the flag of the enublie and then bombarded ci»y.

The revolution today is swooping the nation like wild fire and a conflagra tion threatens any minute to sweep over the border ami engulf the neigh boring kingdom o’ Spain. Washington. Oct. 5.— From all over the United States letters of complaint arc coming to the Postofflce Depart ment relating to the activities of the swindlers engaged in the “Spanish prisoner” game. Tills scheme 1ms been exposed almost as often as the gold brick and green goods games, but it is evident that the Spanish rogues continue to find victims on tills side of tlio pond. The letters of the schemers are mailed in Spain and purport to come from a wealthy man who is imprison ed for some political offense in one of the old prisons of Spain. Tills unfortunate gentleman, who Is usu ally of noble birth, would gladly di vide his immense fortune, from which ho is cut off by liis imprisonment, with any person who sends lilin a few thousand dollars with which to engage lawyers and regain his liber ty. The laws of Spain provide no penalty for this variety of swindling, with the result that the perpetrators of the fraud are immune from pun ishment. Minneapolis. Minn,, Oct. f» "Spoon ing rooms" will be among tho conven iences to be '/eluded In the proposed eight story institutional annex to he built by Wesley Church. In the neigh borhood of the elnirch are scores of hoarding and rooming houses, where hundreds of working girls have their homos. These young women seldom have parlors In which to receive their gentlemen friends, and the church will supply this deficiency in Its new edlfl'-e. Married people, too, who have no adequate parlors of their own. may also make use of the par lors in the church building. Thu.re ject Is the plan of |>r. H. M. Dick, pastor of the church, and lias won many supporters, although some of the more conservative members of the congregation hold that the church should cling to its primary religious function of saving mils, and let pco pie care for their own bodies.
