Matthew Joseph Rodermund, NJ D.,
Of Appleton, Wis, has set about a diff
6cult task, being nothing more nor
less than to prove that the heart does
not exercise the functions attributed
TO 1t by medical science in the days Of
Harvey Harvey, it viii be remem-
bered, discovered that blood circulat-
es. the medical profession up to that
time, and indeed, for some time there
after, believing that the blood merely
stood in the veins like water in a hose
when the nozzle is closed. Harvey eN-
pcrimented until he demonstrated
that the blood flowed through the
body in never ending dow and he
attribu ed this to the action Of the
heart Psychologists all describe the
heart as wonderful force pump,
each beat being movement that
forces the blood through the arteries,
thence into the veins and back to the
lungs to be purified. But Dr. Rode
muud now steps forward and claims
that the heart is merely the governor
upon the engine and that the lungs
are really the twin forces that send
the blood rushing through the body.
He denies the assertion that muscular
contraction of the arteries assists IA

points 10 the fact that the aorta from
the heart neatly up to the illiac bitur

the arteries would collapse when

filled with air, hence their name The
waving motion discernible ia the ar
ieries is by DR.. RoGermund attributed
TO the varying blood pressure, and he
asserts that the same waving motion
may be diseerned IN a rubber hose

DENTISTS In PORTO RICO.
Protest ora Account of Enforcing an
Eek Post FactO Law.

WASHINGTON, July ga subject which
is likely TO arouse active interest in the dem
tai fraternity OF the United States has been
laid before the War Department by DR..
A w. Sweeney. of this city. The question
arose at the recent meeting of the New Jer-
sey Dental Association whether the regula-
tons now enforced in Porto Rico regarding
dentistry do not work injustice to estab-
lished dentists there. DR.. Julio Lamoutte.
who grew up in the Office Of his brother
there, and has been practicing for nearly
ten years with some Of the best business of
the island at his command, was recently
notified that he must suspend practice be-
cause his education did not conform to the
requirements of the laws
DIR. Lamoutte and DIR. Sweeney have not
yet been able TO ascertain whether the law
under which the former was excluded from
practice was an old Spanish law an
American edict- If IL was a Spanish law IL
is one which has not been enforced, and II
IL is a new enactment il is considered unjust
to make It retroactive. There seems to be no
question of the professional qualifications
OF DIR. Lamoutte.
According to the vague hints OF the War
Department upon the subject an American
diploma from universityq Is required. DIR.
Sweeney pointed out in his talk at the War
Department that the enforcement Of a re-
troactive law was contrary TO the rule fol-
lowed in every American State when syS-
TENS of dental examination and registration
were established. He also pointed out that
ex post facto laws were forbidden to the
States by the Constitution of the United
States. This rule. he said. might not govern
the military authorities Of Porto Rico, but
seemed reasonable rule to follow in over
turning the practices and interests Of es-
the island. The subject was taken under adj
visement by the War Department.

WHERE LINCOLN DIED
REPAIRS FINALLY BEGUN To PRE-
SERVE THE OLD HOUSE.
Broken Shutters Flap I'm the Wind,
Floors ROtting Away and Plas-
er Falling from the Walls.

NEW YORK, July 2e.-Under the direc-
ton of Col. Theodore Bingham, superinten-
dent of public buildings and grounds, repair
work has been begun on the old house at
No. 51s Tenth street, where Abraham Lin
colin died. This building is one of the first
places visited by sight-seers who come to
Washington and comment is invariably
made on the shocking condition into which
the historic house has been allowed to fall.
Viewed from the outside. the house is a
dingy. battered looking structure. 1t would
attract no attention, except as the most
neglected building on the block, were 1t not
for weather-beaten plate on which a sem
tence setting forth that Lincoln died there
can be made out Broken shutters, from
which the ancient paint has long been part
ing, flap against the windows. The whole
aspect of the place is uninviting.
Inside the house things are about as bad
The floors and supporting timbers in the
lower part of the building are decayed
Plaster has fallen from the walls. The
house has been made a museum of Lincoln
relics, but the moldy, gloomy surroundings
detract from the interest and inspire most
visitors with fierce longing to get away
from the house as soon as possible and see
something more cheerful -
The last Congress appropriated 1888 for
the purpose of repairing the building, and
Colonel Bingham will need 1t all. The floors
will be repaired, the broken plaster replaced,
the yard in the rear paved with cement, and
the old plumbing torn out and replaced by
modern fixtures. Galvanized iron window
caps will be placed over the windows and
the rooms, excepting the one in which the
President died will be papered and painted.
Steam heat will be introduced and the de-
cayed window stills will be renewed. A new
brick addition. is being constructed in the
rear of the building.

Another story of Assassination Of
President Heureaux--GOmez
Is Not a Candidate.

FORT DE FRANCE, Island Of Martin
ique, July %. - tranquility prevails at
Monte Christi, but all the people are anx-
iously awaiting the important events
which 1t is expected will occur shortly.
General Pichardo, the governor Of the
city, has taken all possible measures to
repel an attack which may be made by the
followers of Senior Juan Jiminez, one of the
candidates for the presidency of the re-
public. 1t is said that General Pichardo
has advised the government to issue a de-
cree prOclaiIning amnesty for all Dominican
exiles with view to appeasing the people.
AT La Bega Real General Don Pedro Bobea
has taken steps to suppress outbreaks
should they occur. Up to the present time
perfect order has been maintained but not
withstanding that fact all law-abiding cit
liens have been called on to bear arms and
hold themselves In immediate readiness for
service.
At Moca, where the people criticise harsh
ly the laxity of the governor, General Juan
Gonzales. many versions are in circulation
regarding the killing of the President One

muzZle of the weapon held close to Heur-

President fell as if struck by lightning with
a bullet through his heart. Other accounts
say the President was stricken by several
bullets and that the assassins made their
escape on horses. which had been provided
and were held in readiness for them by
friends.
Gen. Pedro Pepin, the governor of San
tiago, is acting with the utmost energy, and
has succeeded in overawing the enemies
Of the government The greatest quiet
reigns throughout the city. The popula ton
of Porto Plata are convinced that the grave
events that have occurred are due to inces-
SAINT agitation. 1t is known that Jiminez
and his partisans will not delay, but intend
to disembark either at Porto Plata or Monte
Christi. Jiminez is not popular candidate
for the presidency, as it is believed he would
ruin the country in the course of time and
desires simply to make fortune for himself
and enrich his family and friends.
1t Is said that the governors of all the
provinces are disposed to energetically de-
fend the existing government. The mer-
chants of Porto Plata have held a meeting
and decided to continue to accept paper
money of the country for period of thirty
days. Summing up the situation, it may be
said that a majority of the people seem
to be favorable to the present government.
