try until the present season, have rapidly become
popular. Nine. Neyada's career has been
watched with great interestby her fellow country
men. and it has been remarkable. But few years
ago she went abroad to study, and in that short
time she has achieved position among
the noted queens of song of which she may well
feel proud. Her tour in grand opera last season
with Col Mapleson, where she alternated per-
formances with Nine. Patti, is well recommended.

without money and without Price.

The managers of the Fraternity Primary
took five of their boys to Ira F. Clark's, No.
4S2 Congress street, Thursday, to have them
fitted to clothing. They discarded their rags
and each one was supplied with almost en-
tire suits The boys were so changed that
they looked at each other in establishment.
When the committee asked Mr. Clark for
the bill he quietly informed them that they
had no bill to settle nor would he take dol
lar for liberal supply Of clothing. This
made It possible for the committee to pur-
chase much-needed pair OF boots lor each
of the boys. A happier lot OF LADS IMAM
these would have been hard to find IN thc
city.

The unIted states and san Domingo

Last evening MI. Il. c. c. Astwood, q. S.
consul at San Domingo, with his son, were
registered at the Preble House. MI Asst
wood is a colored man who is tail, OF good
physique, with bright eyes, black nous
tache, and evidently thoroughly posted in
the needs of that fertile island lie was
born at Turks Island, his father having
been the owner of salt mines at that place.
He was consul at San Domingo under fresl-
dent Arthur's administration, ana reap
pointed by President Cleveland. His visit
| to this country relates to financial matters.
His description of the fertility OF San Do
mingo, and of her undeyeloped riches, IS
very interesting. Some years ago the gov
eminent of San Domingo made an effort to
| raise money in England. They engaged
man named Hartmann as agent He was to
raise 81 900 in England, giving bonds
| for fine same. The money was to be
Maid 5000 1000 down, $250,00O at the end of
| six months, and so on. Ii the payments
were not made the contracts were to be null
and void The first $4,000 was paid but
not the second. Hartmann had issued 49,
100000 of bonds and swindled his govern
ment. The San DOMINICAN government
said they would pay the $550000 received
back but wouldn't recognize the bonds
Hartmann had issued. Then the English
purchasers of bonds posted the San Domin-
gan government and took away its credit on
the exchange. The San Domingans tried
United States capitalists and they were
afraid to take hold because tile English bond
holders had taken such decided action. Now
however there is prospect that capitalists
here will make a loan at percentage of
10 per cent year instead of the exorbitant
rates of ten per cent month which they
have been paying.
Mr.. Astwood may return to Portland and
give our people lecture on San Domingo.
