In the New York Sun of recent date
there appeared an interview of gentle
men recently from the West Indies and
in the course of the interview he relates
the opinion of Legitime the exiled king
concerning the purported ostracism of
Minister Douglass in the Haytien court
circles. The reason he escribes to it if
there be any foundation to the story, is
that the Haytiens would prefer white
minister. not from color prejudice but
from business AMI domestic arrange
ments. Legitime further says that Min
lister Douglas took hand in the island
politics when he was in San Domingo
and he has not been forgotten. Apropos
OF this it may be that the Haytien gov
eminent may ask that Minister Douglass
be recalled. although good dealof clat-
ter is being made abont his resignation
of his own accord. When we consider
the monner in which the Colored man
is treated in this country and remem-
Der the whole world is seeing the same
it is surprising that Minister of color is
acceptable at any foreign court.

ness, advocate the merits of this or that
preacher. Two things are of the first
Importance in order to hope for success.
The first is to make selection of q
preacher who is possessed of qualities
essential to popularity. Having selected
candidate the second step is to work
for his success. Let one secure all the
ballots possible and at the same time stir
up interest and activity in others. De-
lay in securing ballots are as dangerous
as. delays in other matters. It would
worry one much to learn that his or her
candidate might have been elected by
slight extra effort. A few votes may
be the difference between the winners
and losers. Hence the Importance OF
carly and persistent activity in securing
ballots. The plan of determining who
the most popular minister is, is given in
order that all may thoroughly under.
stand.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10. - The
amount offered the Treasury to-
day was $4,000 ounces The
amount purchased was 500, 900, at
-. s7I to SO.eS25. The Director OF
the Mint today announced, the
Treasury Department having pur-
CHASED during the current month
4 500, 900 ounces Of silver, the
amount authorized by law, no fur

Its understood the amount re-
quired for pensions the current rs

priated already by Congress, will be
between SIS. 900, 600 and $4,000, 900.
The committee appointed TO ex-
anime the Suggestions OF the

enee has made a lengthy report IL

committee DO not agree with that
portion Of the report Of the delegs-
tons which recommends the ap-
pointment Of a board Of "five ex-
peTts'' I 1 matters pertaining 70 the
merchant marine and an admiralty
lawyer, etc. The o lection to the

appointments would necessarily be
made from persons interested, and
therefore rs they would he obliged
TO pass upon matters upon which
they themselves were interested, 10
would be scarcely possible TO secure

proposed, does not appear necessary.
The bill submitted is that there

THE Roy AND THE noe.
Both Patients ARE Doing Very Well.
Saws the Doctor

New YORK, Nov. l9.-The boy
and dog whom skilled surgeons
have made part and parcel Il each
other, according to the story which
was sent yesterday, were doing
nicely last night AT the Charity
Hospital. IL will be at least n week
before IL Is known whether the re
markable operation Of trausplanting
n bone from a living dog TO boy
has been successful. Unlike his
companion, the meek-eyed spaniel
does not take kindly either 10 its
plaster cast or its food. The youth
ale n fairly hearty breakfast and
told Warden Robert Newman, the
house surgeon, that he felt first rate.
The dog wagged its tail, the only
portion OF its body that it can move,
except its head, but il was not feel
ing well. and turned away sadly
when a piece Of nicely-eoOked, juicy
tenderlOin steak was placed before
it. This was discouraging, as upon
the dog living until the bone union
has commenced depends the success
Of the operation. Later on milk
tempted the dog from its fast. The
dogs condition improved during
the afternoon and DR.. Newman
said tonight that both patients are
doing very well.

AI,rre Cornorn,ian.

CHICAGO, Nov. l9.-rhere was
organized in this city during the
past few days one Of the largest cor
porations In its line in the world.
The charter was filed In Springfield
today and the new corporation will
be known as the "American Hnrv-
ester Company" for the manufac-
ture of harvesting machinery, with
a capital stock Of s35, 200, 000.
Among the directors will be Cyrus
II. Wood, Lewis Miller, A. l.. Con-
ger and A. S. Bushnell.
Colonel Conger, when questioned
by an Associated Press reporter this
evening, said the present demoral-
lied condition Of the harvesting
business necessitated the formation
of new company. "Many fail
ures have occurred during the past
few years, entailing immense los
ses. The cost Of materials has been
advancing so that II has become
necessary either 10 raise the price OF
machinery to the farmers or, through
economy, produce and distribute
them more cheaply constructed. Ii
is the purpose Of this new organiEa-
ton 20 do this. 1t is less 10 the in
terest Of the binder manufacturers
than 10 tbs farmers themselves that
the latter should obtain binder Irvine
at reasonable prices, and a hope OF
efrecting this object is an important
reason for the formation Of this
company. We do not expect to
check competition, but shall posi-
bly carry cut the manufacture Of
machines at several different
points"
