For 1900 years the fieur-de-lis has been a

In France, where. though different races
succeeded one another in the countrys rule,
1t remained the royal emblem for over 200
years. 1t was not until 1179 however, that
the arms of France were first formally
mentioned. French kings, returning from
the crusades, brought with them Eastern
customs: tournaments were introduced in
Europe, and coats-of-arms were adopted in
imitation of Arabs and Persians. Then
Louis lie Jeune, arranging for the consecra-
ton of his son. Philippe Auguste. at Rheims,
ordered that his garments be covered with
f1eurs-de-lis, and after this the King wore
them without number.
All ecclesiastic and secular institutions of
royal foundation received the fleur-de-lis
into their coats of arms. They were intro
duced as ornaments for the apparatus in
all military games: they were sprinkled
over the flags and standards of the army
they surmounted the helmets of princes and
decorated their armor and coats of mail !;
they trimmed the heads and TANKS of horses

afternoon and remanded for one week. The
child will remain in the custody OF her
mother. Bail with two sureties was fixed

When Mrs. Perot, her child and Mr.. Blood
arrived at the Euston Station they were
greeted by Inspector Froest and CORE
spondent. To the latter Mrs. Perot said:
This is pure case of persecution, assure
you Some of the proceedings are utterly
unwarrantable. If taking ny child away is
an indictable offense, then am guilty, per-
haps legally, but every mothers heart Will
be with me in this trouble. We had no idea
of this further attempt In a long series or

Mr. Patrick Rose-Innes, who appeared for

TWO VIEWS OF DOLLAR.

A dollar never saw the day when II would

THE RIVAL YACHTS.
London Yachting Paper Shows the
superiority of the Shamrock.

LONDON, July H.-The Yachting World
issued to-day contains long article on the
Shamrock's chances in the contests for the
Americas cup. Starting on the assumption
that the Vigilant and Britannia were equal
the writer argues that the Shamrock
showed herself to be capable of beating the
Britannia in a moderate breeze, twenty-five
to twenty-six minutes over a thirty-mile
course. With time allowance the Shamrock S
net superiority would be fifteen to twenty
minutes; As the Defenders superiority over
the Nigilant in sailing the same course is
estimated at six minutes and the Columbia
superiority over the Defender is assumed to
be three minutes. it is estimated the Co.
lumbias superiority over the Vigilant is
nine minutes. Therefore, according to the
Yachting Worlds article, there are excellent
grounds for the belief that in the present
condition of both yachts the Shamrock will
win.

IT WAS A CONSPIRACY
PRESIDENT HEREAUx FELL DEAD
AT THE FIRST SHOT.
Preparations for Another Revelation
Are Already Under Way-Mckin-
ley's Condolences.

CAPE HAYTIEN, July 27.-Details of the
murder of President Heureaux, of Santo
Domingo, are that he was assassinated as
he was about TO leave on horseback for San
tiago de las Caballcros to take action
against suspected insurrection following
a financial crisis in the island He
about to leave Moca. Booted and spurred,
ready to mount his horse. he sat under the
gallery of house in the Rue Colon, talking
with two friends at 4:30 o'clock in the after
noon when an old man approached to ask
for aims. Just as the President gave the
old man some money, Ramon Caceros. the
assassin, rushed forward quickly and fired
twice from his revolver. One bullet struck
the heart Of the President, killing him in
stantly. and the other killed the old man by
his side. The crime was committed
quickly that the friends of the President
were not able to interfere in time to prevent
1t, but they fired a number of shots at
Caceros, who ran away, accompanied by
several persons. The assassin and party
returned the fire of the Presidents friends
and Casceros escaped. 1t is not known
whether he was wounded or not The au-
thorities Immediately sent troops to pursue
him, and the body of the President was
taken TO the house of the Governor of Moca.
The news Of the Presidents death spread
rapidly and caused a panic among the in
habitants of the island. 1t is believed by
many the murder was the result of politi-
cal conspiracy. Vice President Figuereo
has taken precautions to prevent disorder
and has taken command of the troops to
that end.
1t is said that Juan Isidoro Jiminex. who
took part in the attempted instruction of
June, 1885, is candidate for the Presi-
dency. 1t is reported Gen. Maxine Gomez,
formerly President of the Cuban insurrec-
tionists, who is native of Santo Domingo.
also aspires to the Presidency. The father
of Caceros, the assassin, was put to death
by order of President Heureaux in 1854.
