WHO THE MURDERER IS.
Educated In the United States and
Married Wealthy American Girl.

New York, July 2S.-The Times says:
Ramon Caceres, the murderer Of Pres
ident Heureux of Santo Domingo. is
about 20 years of age, and is connected
with one of the best and richest fami-
lies of that republic. A considerable
portion of his life has been spent in the
United States. He completed his edu-
cation at the Rensselaer, polytechnic
institute at Troy, where he was gradu-
ated about four years ago.
While residing in Troy he married
Lille, the adopted daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. j. S. Hakes. Mr.. Hakes died some
years ago and his widow passed away
soon after her adopted daughters mar
rage TO Caceres. All of the property
was left to Mrs. Caceres. Part of the
real estate, consisting of a block on
Fulton street, Troy, was recently sold
TO ex-United States Senator Edward
Murphy, jr.
Caceres converted all of his wifes
property into cash and they came to
New York and made their home here
for some time. CacereS often said that
as soon as the opportunity offered he
would go to Santo Domingo and inaug-
urate revolution. He started on his
mission a few weeks ago, leaving Mrs
Caceres here. Those who know Caceres
are confident that he laid his plans we'll

JIMINEZ A CANDIDATE.
Seems to Be the Most Popular Man
For the Presidency.

Havana, July 2S.-With regard to the
rumor that Gomez viii be the next
president of the republic of Santo
Domingo, it is stated here that the
most popular candidate is Senior Juan
Jiminez, who took part in the attempt
ed insurrection of June, 1888, and who
Is now in Havana 1t is possible, how
ever, so 1t is reported, that if a revo-
luton takes place Senior Jiminez' op-
ponentS may offer Gomez the leader
ship.
General Gomez refused to discuss the
presidency of the Dominican republic,
claiming TO know nothing regarding the
matter. When questioned concerning
the rumors circulating in the cafes as
20 his aspirations regarding a Domin-
lcan republic, Gomez action proved his
contempt for the stories; yet in the
clubs and cafes he is seriously accused
of conspiring to bring both the islands
of Hay1 and Cuba under the dominion
of the United States.
In abiding to the cafe conspirators,
Gomez made use of a contemptuous
term which is used among Cubans to
signify towards and said he did not
believe that many men belonging to
the army would have anything to do
with such people, who, he declared, do
not represent Cuba, vet cause much
misrepresentation. He also classes a
number of papers in the same category.
El Diario de la Marina and La Lucia
express the opinion that. in regard to
the present expansion policy, the United
States may intervene in San Domingo.

Turned Barber.
Chicago News.)

One of the strangest features of met
ropolitan life is the ease with which
some people shift their vocation to meet
the conditions that arise from time to
time. Perhaps no stranger illustration
of this could be found than the expe-
rience Of a theatrical manager, who set
out with a friend the other day for
Jackson park.
They had visited one or two places
en- route to the park and finally dropped
into barber shop TO brush up bit. A
tall, cadaverous figure approached, at
tired in the conventional white coat
and immaculate linen and was about
to wave the men to a chair. when his
face suddenly broadened out to a smile
and lie grasped the hand of the man
ager. The recognition was mutual, and
while the process of shaving was under
way the friends chatted merrily to-
gether in manner the third party was
at a loss TO account for.
When they had left he place and had
proceeded short distance he turned
and demanded of the theatrical man
how il was that ne CHANGED to be so IA

The manager laughed. why, bless

Presidents On the Gridiron.

DR.. Edward Bedloe of Philadelphia,
United States consul to Canton, is on
way home for a visit. He will probably
pass through Paris in time to pay his
respects to General Harrison, who sent
him as consul TO Annoy, China, in 1883.
If the two statemen meet, probably the
doctor will recall the generals clever
rebuke to him during his vacation when
he was in office.
The 6<,tor was spending a month or
two in<Tashington and was largely in
evidence in social and political circles.
About this time the Gridiron club gave
a dinner, and both gentlemen were
guests. The doctor told a few stories
early in the evening, and later on the
S-ydent made a speech.
Il was charmed" he said in his soft,
graceful way, Ito hear the clever an
ecdotes from our distinguished consul

passed on TO other topics, but the doctor
took the hint and the next steamer car
ried him back to his post.
1t was not he first time that DR.. Bed

club dinners. Once President Cleveland
was a guest at the celebrated Glover

NOTHING NEW TO HIM.
Being Dead Was No Unpleasant Sen
sation.
(Spare Moments.)

A poor woman in a country village
had a son, who was q notorious drunk
ard. She reasoned with him very often
about his dissolute habits. and, at last,
in despair, went to the village clergy
man with her trouble.
He sympathized with her, and readily
undertook to try what he could do to
effect a cure. and, Diminishing the wOm-
an, told her to let him know at once
when her son was drunk again.
In the meantime the clergyman had
a coffin made, and al the same time
made arrangements for opening vault
in the village cemetery.
1t was not many days before he re-
ceived the news he was waiting for.
The man was again helplessly drunk,
and while in this state he was shroud-
ed. placed in the coffin, carried to the
vault. and a man, also dressed in grave
clothes, set to watch beside the coffin
to report on the drunkard's awaken
ing.
After deep sleep the man awoke,
tried to stretch his limbs. but failed,
owing to the narrowness of his prison.
He next yawned, sat up. looking around
him, saw the coffin, then noticed the
watcher, and said:
Hello, there, Am l dead?''
Yes" same the reply, in a sepulchral
tone.
well, it's strange. 1 don't feel as
though | am dead. Are you dead?"
Yes" again came the reply.
How long have l been dead?'
Three weeks" said the supposed
corpse.
How long have you been dead?" said
the drunkard again.
