jlMlNEZ REVOLUTIONISTS IN SAN.
TO DOMINGO HAVE AN OBJ
JECT IN VIEW.
PLAYING FOR Intervention
WANT THE UNITED STATES TO
ASSUME A PROTEcTORATE
OVER COUNTRY.

New York, March 2-General Fran
minican consul here, and a brother of
Former President Horacio Vasquez of
Santo Domingo, asserts that he has
documentary proof that the Jiminez
revolutionists are deliberately making
war upon Americans in the island in
order that the United States govern
ment may be- moved to interfere and
assume a protectorate over the coun-
try. One letter shown by General
Vasquez purports to have been writ
ten by General Arias, governor of
Monte Christi, to Jiminez and says:
1--WE should prefer to cause the loss
of santo Domingo's sovereignty and
autonomy, than submit to the gov
eminent in this struggle"
General Vasquez, who has just re-
turned from Santo Domingo, asserts
that this policy of the revolutionists
explains the killing of Machinist John
stone of the United States gunboat
Yankee, and the firing on the Clyde
line steamer New York by the revo-
lutionists. .....
San Domingo, March 2-United
States Minister Powell has been in
formed that the insurgents at San
Pedro de Macoris have seized the tug
boat Burro, belonging to the Clyde
line of New York and armed her.
Edward G. Reed, United States con-
sular agent at San Pedro de Macoris,
IS said to be in danger. Minister
Powell has taken steps to secure the
protection of all interests. The sit
uation here remains unchanged.

decision of The Hague arbitration
tribunal that the three powers which
blockaded Venezuela-Great Britain,
Germany and Italy-have the right to

One of Woman-s Privileges.

New York Times-A woman over in
New Jersey has been convicted-on
her own admissions, among other
things--of having killed another wo-
man of whom she was jealous by stick
ing knife into her seventeen times.
The conviction was followed in due
and regular course by sentence to
death on the gallows. but the execu-
tion of the sentence has already been
delayed and the chances are that the
murderess will never be hanged. The
only reason for leniency, so far as we
have heard, is that the murderess is
net a murderer In country where
women had only their rights, of course,
there would be no hesitation, but here
some of women's rights are withheld
very cruelty. it is asserted, and in COM
pensation privileges are accorded to
them. One Of the privileges is the al
most certain avoidance of capital pun
ishment, however horrible may be the
crimes they commit. Whether there is
compensation in this or not is for the
women to say.

Women as Lawyers.

My own observation Of womCE raw
yers, based upon thirty years expert
ence at the bar of Illinois and of the
Supreme Court of the United States
is that they do not succeed; indeed,
hardly appear as advocates, however
useful they may become as Office prac-
titioners. It must be remembered that
in America we have no distinction be-
tween the barrister and the solicitor,
and that consequently woman called
to the bar may practise her profession
without ever appearing in court The
few women | have seen in the courts

his son Berry brought him to Havana
and put him in squirrel cage. But, as
that was too small and he could not

been shot. Smith had the business
men and county officers donate enough
to build a cage about twelve feet
square, and the bird was kept in that

and tanned him. He had a stump of
tree put in the large cage, and the
eagle stays on that tree all the time
when not flying or walking in the

THE PUZZLE OF PERSONALITY.

Look Upon the Face Of God.

Christian Register.-We look at a
friend ana see a certain mechanism,
but the features change even while
we look. They change with age and
with disease, so much so that a man
may often become a stranger to his
previous self Make the best of our
analysis, we can only say that we have
found a persons expression, or tina,
we know him by certain functions. We
know his walk or his voice or his
methods. This is not getting very
much nearer than when We recognize
a person by his clothes. We are
conscious that there is an inner some,
thing that really defines a person, ana
We cannot get at it We are also sure
that there is subtle atmosphere that
surrounds each one. the cause Of om
likes and dislikes. Another method OF
solving personality is by determining
what person has accomplished. We
know him by his house by his garden,
by his crops. Then again We know a
person by what he says and thinks.

HOW RADIUM MAY BE FOUND.
Even Laymen May Ascertain the
Presence of the Element in Science

Presence of the Element in Science.
The United States government is
taking steps looking toward develoTi-
ing the radium-producing resources
of the country. The chief of the geo
logical survey announces that he
would like specimens of radioactive
minerals, and for the guidance of
those persons who believe that they
possess such specimens it says that
the simplest means of detecting radio
activity in a suspected substance is
by the use of a Photographic plate
the more sensitive the better. The
plate should not be removed from its
inclosing black paper. The specimen
to be tested should be laid upon this
black paper in dark room and left
there from two to fifteen hours, a
small metal object having first been
placed between the specimen and the
black paper on the plate.
Instead of the metal object a few
small nails may be arranged SO as to
form the initial of the owner and left
on the paper-covered plate below the
specimen. After thus remaining in the
dark room the plate should be devel-
oped in the usual manner. If the
specimen tested has radioactive
powers photograph of the metal OBJ
ject or of the nail-formed initial will
be produced on the plate exactly as
if the plate had been exposed to the
suns rays. The test should he made,
if possible. with from half a pound 10
a pound of the material.

more TO superior workmanship and,
possibly. decoration than to any par
ticular difference in the quality Two
years later the cannily generous com
pany presented the Lord Chancellor
with garnish worth 4$4d. the pound.
Thirty years later similar presenta-
ton sets cost Sd. per pound.
So excellent was the workmanship
and so artistic the design of many of
these dinner services, that Harrison,
describing the England of 1880, says
thai a garnish of good fat English
pewter of quite ordinary make was
esteemed in some places abroad al
most so precious as the like number OF
vessels that are made of fine silver.
Neither the foreign metal nor the
foreign workmanship was equal to that
Of this country. A remark of Harri-
sons shows, by the way, that fashions
in the shape of pewter varied as they
have done since in services of other
material He tells us that in his time
dishes and plates, instead of being fiat
as of yore, were beginning to be made
deep like basins, which, indeed, in
those forkless days, were, as he says,
more convenient both for sauce, broth
and keeping the meat warm"
Old inventories show how extensive
ly pewter was used both for table
articles and for pots and pans and
other domestic furnishings. Among
the household goods of Sir John Gage
CT West Firle Sussex. in 1856, were
colander, basins, and ewers, shaving
basins-he had four-six dozen tren-
cher plates, two dozen fruit plates,
candlesticks, and salts-all of pewter.
municipalities, too, kept a good stock
of the ware The records of the Bor-
ough of Northampton, for example,
show that in 1854 the town possessed,
for the purposes of civic and guild
feasts, many dozens of pewter plates
and dishes, which were kept in the
Guild Hall in the custody of the town
chamberlains. But neither all towns
nor all individuals, however distin-
guished, were so well provided, and
the pewterers-admitte members of a
poration-made handsome profits by
lending on hire to nobiemen and other
persons of wealth, as well as to public
bodies, pewter vessels suitable for fes-
tival purposes, for use at great ban
quets, public and private When some
extraordinary occasion made an un-
usual demand upon a pewterer's re-
sources, his brethren in the trade al
ways helped him, and the profits were
divided. These profits were probably
considerable, for enormous quantities
of pewter were used at great feasts. AT
Christmas time the pewterers did a
great deal of business in this way
The Earl of Northumberland, who,
early in the sixteenth century, used to
divide his time between several resi-
dences, was accustomed when he
moved from one great house to another
to take everything with him in carts,
even down to his bedding and kitchen
utensils. But the lists of his goods,
which are still extant, contain no men
ton of plate, for, curiously enough, it
was his habit not to possess pewter of
his own, but to hire all he required at
the rate of few pence per dozen for
the year The plan probably saved
him considerable expense in storage
and cartage.-London Globe.

his hat and between 10 and II O'Clock
he set out from one of the hotels where
he had been for some time, and start

He says he was between MoItgom-

on each side of him, without having
heard a sound. They were oolored
men. He had just time to notice them
when he was seized by the two and
stood ON his head and then laid down
on the sidewalk. The two went
througA his pockets and stole about
$50. AS soon as they got the money
they started on a run towards the
coal docks.
Welsh raised n row and gathered a
crowd. Search for the thieves was
begun without avail. Welsh declared
that one of the colored men lives in
