SaIto Domingo, has been disclosed
In a communication from an official OF
the present Dominican government to
fellow countryman in this city, who
formerly was an official under Wos
y Gil, the recently deposed president
Of the republic.
The letter states that the plot had
been so arranged that Ex-President
JlmfneZ, under whose leadership Wos
Gil was overthrown, should be killed
ut about the same time. The plot to
assasinate Minister Powell, it was as
serted, was conceived because OF his
opposition to plans Of certain officials.

who desire to succeed Wos Gil
said to be at loggerheads. While the
plot against Minister Powell is said
by the author of the letter to have
been abandoned because Of strong
stand taken by member of the cab
met. it is said, the American diplomat
Is being carefully guarded whens, Ell

It must be apparent to every one that
qualities Of the highest order are neces-

modern commerce to attain permanently
to universal acceptance. However loudly
heralded. they may not hope for worldwide
prominence unless they meet with the
general approval, not of individuals only,
but of the many who have the happy
faculty of selecting, enjoying and learn
ing the real worth of the choicest prod
ucts. Their commentator, consequently
becomes important to others, since to
meet the requirements of the well IN
formed of all countries the method OK
manufacture must be of the most per-
feet order and the combination the most
excellent of its kind. The above Is true
not of food products only. but Is espe-
cially applicable to medicinal agents and
after nearly a quarter of century OF
growth and general use the excellent
remedy. Syrup of Figs, Is everywhere
accepted, throughout the world, as the
best of family laxatives. Its quality Is
due not only to the excellence OF the
combination Of tks laxative and carmin-
alive principles Of plants known to act
most heneflcially on the system and pre-

laxative. If at ali eminent in his pro-
fesshon and has made q special study OF
IaxatIves and their effects upon the sys-

Of family ,laxaHves, because It is sim

knows that Syrup Of Figs Is an excel
lent laxative and Is glad to sell 1t, at
the regular price of fifty cents per bot
