Can't Lose the Farmer

Down In Connecticut few days
ago, at a station where express
trains do not stop. farmer has
suddenly sprung into prominence.
He wanted to get on the fast train.
and knowing no other way, hung
himself to the crane to which the
mail bag Is usually fastened. He
figured 1t all out that when The
cars came along he would be
scooped up by the appliance used
to gather In the bags and that he
could make explanations more or
less suitable to the case afterward.
When the engineer saw the man
hanging to the crane, however, he
said things softly to himself regard
Ing fool farmers who couldn't find
a better place to commit suicide,
and showed down so that the
supposed dead person would
not be too roughly handled.
The train came to a stop and the
"suicide" dropped calmly eff the
crane, walked into the smoking
car, pulled his pipe and began sing
Ing softly to himself, while the
passengers smiled and the train
hands said awful things.
You can't lose the poor, down.
trodden farmer. He may once in
while buy a gold orick, and he
may purchase a complete set of
lightning rods occasionally, but
ordinarily he Is up and a.coming
along with the rest Of Us. He Is
pictured asa verdant individual,
but give him a chance and he will
find that his verdancy Is largely on
the surface. If you don't believe
Ii, try him some time.

MERELY DISCRETIONARY.
District May Plead Statute Against
Three Years Standing.

Corporation Counsel A. B. Duvall, in an
opinion submitted to the Commissioners to-
day, holds that it is discretionary with the
Commissioners to plead the statute of lin
itations, with regard to claims against the
District. The point was raised several days
ago when a communication was received
from F. A. Barber requesting the refund Of
the duplicate payment of general tax
against part of lot 18 and sublot 13, in
block 5, Trinidad for the second half Of
1900. Investigation Of the matter developed
that Mr.. Barbers contention was correct
and E. G. Davis, collector of taxes, recon-
mended the refund of the amount overpaid
Auditor Garrison, however, called the at
tention of the Commissioners to the fact
that the payment had been made more than
three years ago, and as the application for
refund was not made within that time the
claim was barred by the statute Of limita-
tons.
In an Endorsement on the papers Commits
sioner West stated that in his opinion re-
funds of duplicate tax payments should be
paid whenever they are brought to the at
tention of the Commissioners. and the du-
plicate payment satisfactorily proved. This
should be done Notwithstanding the claims
were barred by the statute of limitations.
The papers were referred to the corpora
ton counsel for all opinion on the case.
Mr. Duvall states that while the Com
missoners have the legal right to disallow
claims whenever presented, If they are more
than three years old. yet there is no man.

MIR. MACFARLAND RETURNS.
Will Report to Colleagues Impressions
of White Granite Inspected.

Commissioner Macfarland was at his desk
in the District building today, having re-
turned last evening from Brooklyn, where
he made two addresses at the exercises
attending the celebration of the semi-cen-
tennial anniversary of the Brooklyn Young
Mems Christian Association.
While absent from the city Commissioner
Macfarland made a trip to Manhattan to
look at the Bethel white granite which is
being used in the construction of Mr. Payne
Whitney's residence at 5th avenue and
10Th street. AS the granite is to be used for
the entire front of this residence and about
three-fourths of 1t is in place, ii gave a
much more satisfactory opportunity for in
spection than the Bailey Banks & Biddle
building in Philadelphia. where this granite
is used only for the first story.
Mr.. Macfarland will report to the Com
missioners his impressions of the granite
he saw 1t in the Payne Whitney house,
but does not feel at liberty to make any
public statement of his opinions about the
granite as he saw 1t, either in Philadelphia
or New York.

EugeniO Deschamps who resigned the vice

And SO news is daily received that Presi-

dOning him and adding their strength to
that of JimeneZ, and the rebel troops, under
the leadership of the ablest Dominican gen.

Ously across the country to join in the siege

stronghold of the present government. that
is momentarily expected to collapse like a

The only supporters that remain firm In
their allegiance to Wos Gil are some of
the old retainers of President Heureaux,
who would have no place In Jimenez's gov

are fierce and resolute men, veterans who
have led their victorious troops over many

ways had the tact to espouse the right
cause, and above all because he has been
the victim of the most terrible persecution.
Due to his bold opposition to President
HeureauxS sanguinary and corrupted
policy he was forced to leave Santo Domin-
go and live abroad, where he had to suffer
many hardships. Although living in exile
he did not slacken in his attacks upon Pres
ident Heureaux's policy. and about seven
years ago, while residing in Ponce, Porto
Rico, an assassin paid by President Heur-
eaux to assassinate him drove a dagger
into his back, very nearly killing him.
The assassin escaped and DeschampS
slowly recovered, but he has never succeed
ed in making the wound heal thoroughly.
and 1T is a constant source of annoyance to
him. At another time his wife, who had ac-
companied him in exile, embarked in a
small schooner at the British Island of
Grand Turk for Puerto Plata, but on her ar
rival at that port she was not permitted to
disembark.
She was accompanied by her children. and
the eldest boy took i'll on board, but still
she was not permitted to disembark, nor
was her sick boy allowed to have medical
aid, and the afflicted mother had to watch
her eldest boy die for the lack Of medical
aid.
Deschamps wife is a woman of great en-
ergy and courage, and is as much at home
on the battlefield with her husband as
quietly directing her household affairs. She
handles her revolver and rifle nearly as
needle and often regrets that nature should
have been SO cruel as to have incarnated
her spirit in the body of woman.
Narrowly Escaped Drowning.
Gen. Deschamps was the director of the
military operations in Santo Domingo dur
ing the last revolution, which carried Wos
y Gil to the presidency, and had his head
quarters established in San Juan. Porto
Rico.
Deschamps went to Santo Domingo to-
ward the close of the revolution, and mar
rowly escaped drowning off the coast of
Eamana. where the Dominican gunboat in
which he was travelling ssank, due to the
bursting of one of her boilers, and several
of his followers drowned.
He was, however, more fortunate, and
escaped to be appointed vice president of
the republic and government delegate to the
Cibao. This appointment caused many of
his best friends to consider him traitor to
Jimenez. and he began to lose popularity,
