ton that resulted In making General
Jiminez president In 1902 occurred
another revolution, which was success
full in forcing Jiminez to resign, on
which the vice president, Vasquez,
was installed, to be succeeded in 1908
by General Morales, against whom the
present revolution is directed. In San
to Domingo the president is elected for
four years, unless sooner "revoluted"
out Of Office.
The people are Of mixed Spanish,
negro and Indian blood. The govern
ment is modelled on that Of the Ameri-
can republic and so far as form Is con-
cerned is said to be quite ideal.
Santo Domingo is one of the most
beautiful of the West India Islands.
It lies between Cuba and Porto Rico.
In Samana Bay it possesses one of the
finest natural harbors in the world. 1t
was this port which President Grant
was especially anxious to secure as
coaling station. The oldest settlement
made in the new world was on this
island, Columbus himself having
founded 1t. Here the great discoverer
was buried and here for a number OF
years was the capital of the Spanish
possessions to the new world.
At the end of the eighteenth century
Spain ceded the eastern half of the
island to France, which held the west
ern half. Soon after the entire coun-
try under Toussaint L'Ouverture gain
ed its independence. In 1914 came the
rebellion of the eastern portion Of the
island, resulting in the formation of
the present Dominican Republic.

States, or at least to protectorate by
the American government. The an
nexaton idea was one of the cherished
dreams of President Grant. Indeed, it
even antedates Grant, for Secretary
Seward about the time Of the Alaska
purchase elaborated a plan looking to
American possession of Santo Domin-
20. 1t Is probable that the idea did not
originate in the United States, how
ever, but in the island itself. for the
merchant classes there have always
favored an American protectorate.
It was doubtless due to this infu-
ence that President Baez of the Do
minican Republic sent formal propo-
sition to President Grant looking to
the annexation of Santo Domingo to
the United States. 1t was in July,
1869. that Grant received the proposal,
and he lost no time in sending a spe-
cial commissioner to the island to look
into conditions and report After some
further negotiations the treaty of an
nexation was prepared, the question
was submitted to the voters of Santo
Domingo, who gave it almost unan1-
nous approval at a special election
held for the purpose. and Grant SUBJ
mitted the treaty to the United States
Senate for ratification. Charles Sum-
ner. chairman of the foreign affairs
committee. bitterly opposed the ratifi-
cation Of the treaty. and succeeded in
securing sufficient support to defeat
the treaty. The annexation talk died
down and has not been renewed until
recent years, although the commercial
party in the island still continued to
favor the plan.
Meanwhile affairs in the little repub-
lie were in a troubled condition. There
were frequent uprisings, and presi-
dents came in rapid succession until in
1886 General Ulysses Heureux was
elected, and the constitution was so al
tered that he could succeed himself.
This he did with somewhat monoton-
Gus regularity. SO contriving matters
that it was impossible to oust him.
Heureux was a young man when he
went into Office and an ambitious one.
He became practical dictator Of the
country. banishing or executing those
who opposed him. In this manner he
continued in power until 1899. when
he was assassinated.

British Houses of Parliament Were
Burned on Oct. 16, 1884.
Oct. 16 is a day to be associated with
fire in the minds Of Londoners, for on
that date, in 1884, the houses of parlia-
ment were burned down, and on the
same day, in 1888, Berkeley house was
destroyed by fire, says the London
Chronicle. Berkeley house stood on
the site of the present Deyonshire
house and Evelyn does not seem to
have thought much Of it. "The stair
case is Of CEDAR" he writes. ''The fur
niture is princely; the kitchen and sta
bles are ill-placed and the corridors
worse. The porticos are in
imitation of house described by Pal
ladio, but it happens to be the worst
in his books" The fire was caused,
according to the Daily Journal Of the

York discharged her cargo at the port
of Santa Domingo under what was
thought to be an agreement Of the con-
tending forces. She was fired on by
the insurgents, however, and the Unit
ed States cruiser Newark retaliated by
shelling the town Of Pajarito, in which
the rebels were encamped, afterward
landing force of marines and driving
out the insurgent troops. All of this
naturally led to further complications.
Though the rebel forces have been
very thoroughly beaten in subsequent
gagements with the troops of Presi-
dent Morales, the island is yet in
very unsettled condition, and there is
a considerable party, in which the COM
mercial element predominates, that is

The most remarkable and striking
feature of the new Liverpool Cathedral
will be the height of the vaulting of
the nave and choir-measured in the
barrel vaulting, one hundred and six
teen feet, and in the nigh transepts,
one hundred and forty feet-which
cannot fail to produce a very magnifi-
cent effect. No cathedral in the coun-
try approaches its height. The nearest
is Westminster, the nave Of which

LEPROSY IS CURED

After Thirty-five Years in Dis

! and Well.

San Francisco, Nov. 2.--George Pope
10y, thirty years leper, has been cured
of the malady that thru all the ages
has been regarded as beyond the reach
Of medical skill. During the past nine
years he has been an inmate of the San
Francisco pesthouse. Before coming
here he was for long time shut up in
similar hospital at New Orleans,
finally making his escape.
There can be no question that he was
actually afflicted with leprosy, having.
inherited the disease from his mother,
and nobody who ever saw him at the
Institution on Twenty-sixth street
would have any doubt about it.
The board Of health has declared
Pepeloy to be fully cured, after thoro

Nothing is known to the doctors
about, the means or method of the cure
that astonishes them. The credit is
not theirs. Since miracles were per.
formed on earth, the medical men have
regarded leprosy as absolutely beyond
the possibility of cure. Pepeloy, the
subject, says that he cured himself and
that the healing is the result of a dis
covery never made before. He says that
all lepers can be cured but he has suf
fered so long, and Is now SO helpless il

Versal IN the affirmative, forSit Is great

needed, also bridges and town drainage
districts, that have got to wait for want

US that this fund should be all in use by
the people Of the state In public utilities,
rather than lying in banks and loaned to
other states at a small rate Of interest
case in point: Fifteen years ago this
part of the state swas in sore straits for a
schoolhouse. The grasshopper plague had
driven out many settlers, the remainder
were very poor, but Americans as they
were, they wanted their children edu-
Gated and had put up a shanty and hired
teacher. but SO cold was the winter
that both teacher and children We're froze
out for weeks. Then came the struggle
for new, warm schoolhouse. There was
then over half a million dollars Of school
funds, lying in the state banks and not
drawing over 2 per cent interest, but these
people could not touch it, as a loan at 8
per cent, on account of the 8 per cent re-
striction in the state law. Yet there were
many thousands of dollars Of this fund
loaned at that time to other states at
from 294 to per cent. Under their breath
these people said things unmentionable,
but they did betttr than that, for they
went to work and bonded their district
for enough money at per cent and built
their schoolhouse and paid for it. Every
body vote for this amendment.
