When Does Indian Summer Beginp

From the ST. Louis Globe Democrat.
In that gentle and indefinable shading OF
of summer into autumn, when does Indian
summer begin? Is 1t a genuine, authorfta-
tive Indian summer If no frost has pre-
coded 1t? Or must the woods light up their
banners to herald its advent? An Indian
summer that is not born of few frosty
nights may suddenly backslide and become
a reyersion to summer itself. We can rec
oncile no ideals of that perfect season of
the year with a return to perspira ton and
the casting off of coats. An Indian summer
of hot days is no Indian summer. 1t cam
not come scorching and swetering as July,
August and September but yelled in blue
mists or gray, every day. breaking in the
same unvarying tints and tones and like
wise temperature of the one before il, as IL
nature had saved her best in the bottom of
the basket and were hanging out an I'M
spotted one every morning. Indian summer
may continue long after the last leaf has
fallen and been gathered to its companions
in the brown windows. 1t is not perplex-
ing to discover when Indian summer ends
1t is swept out and washed away In long
cold November rain. that stretches its
warning streamerS across the sky for days
before ii spreads it's dripping wintry pail
over the earth But when does Indian sum-
mer begin?

PAPER OF THE FUTURE.
The Many Advantages Of the Afternoon
Over the Morning Journal.

From an Interview With W. ]. Pattison of the
New York Evening Post In Printers Ink.
II incline naturally to the conviction
that the afternoon paper Is the paper Of
the future. These are a few of my rea-
sons, and have never seen them success
fully controversial: A careful comparison
by disinterested party would probably
show that from IS per cent to 30 per
cent Of the news appearing in the morn
ing papers every day for a stated period
appeared in the evening papers of the
day before. and 1t would also be shown
conclustvely that 1t was only OCCASION
ally that news found In the morning pa
pers and not covered by the evening pa
pers of the day before was of any ma
tertal Importance. Therefore as news
gatherers they do not compare favor bly,

by the male member of the family on his

newsdealer at his residence. In either
case 1t is read not only by himself. bu.
by most of the other members of his
family, and after they have finished with

servants and is read by them. From the
point of view of quantity this home cir

quented by many more people than at
any ether time The careful reading
which the evening paper gets not only
by one, but by all the members of the
family, should be kept constantly in mind
by the advertiser. 1t is read during the
leisure part Of the day, when business
and housekeeping cares have. at least
TOT the time being. been dismissed from
the MIND. The morning paper in a com

REPUBLIC OF sANTo DOMINGO.
Family Of Christopher Columbus Buried

The republic Of Santa Domingo Is sep
arated from Haiti by a much disputed
boundary line that runs irreguiarly from
the mouth of the Anse-a-Pitre on the south
to that Of the Riviere du Massacre on the
north 1t has an area Of 1S.O45 square
miles and a population estimated at about
700, 600.
In this division of the island negroes
are IN the minority. most Of the Inhabitants
being mulatto descendants Of the original
Spanish settlers, their slaves and the abo-
rhymes. with a few Europeans. The popu-
lar language Is Spanish, the national re-
ligion Roman Catholic, freedom of worship
being effected with certain restrictions
Sugar Growing Biggest Industry.
The republic has a coast line $40 miles
lin extent and has seven open ports. The
Santo Domingans are less jealous of for
eigners than are the Haitians. so that out
side capital has been attracted to the con-
struction of railways and other public util-
tiles. There were 116 miles of railway
open for traffic in 1900 Sugar growing

Of Santo, Domingo being among the most
fertile in the West Indies. Excellent to-
bacco Is grown readily everywhere. and
the production of bananas, coffee and cocoa
Is increaS sing.
V Cattle raising. dairying and forestry also
are important industries. Among the most
striking features of the island are the lux
prient forests. Astounding in choice cabinet
woods and timber suitable for ship and
house building. Practically the same met
ais exist as in Haiti, but there is no min
ing industry.
Ban to Development Of Commerce.
Prohibitory customs duties are bar to
the development of commerce. The exports
in 1859 were valued at "a, 166.617. gold; the
imports. at 81 ,669. 994. gold. Among the ex-
ports were 5.SO7 $40 pounds of cocoa. 1885,
$50 pounds Of coffee, 5000 tons of tobacco,
and s33. 273 feet OF mahogany. United States
imports from Santo Domingo in 1900 were
valued at s.. 22S, $40; exports at 81. 49,, 76O.
Santo Domingo has few important cities.
and these are mainly confined to the coast.
The city Of Santo Domingo, with about b.
900 population, was founded In 1894. 1t Is
situated at the mouth of the Ozaman river.
Columbus Family Buried There.
Here lie buried the family Of Christopher
Columbus. and also, the natives assert, the

Diego. the admirafs son. is landmark Of
