SAN DOMINGO AFFAIR

For the past few years there has
been many instructions and much
internal strife as we'll as fnan-
sial embarrassment upon the part
of the little San Domingo Re-
public until now our government
has been asked to take charge of
the affairs, so that the republic
might pay the other countries
their obligations without these
countries coming in and taking
the land in payment of these
debts, which would be an en-
croachment upon our time honor
ed Monroe doctrine, and it was to
prevent infringement upon this
doctrine that the President has
temporily become receiver for the
little black republic, and his
protocol to the. United States
Senate clearly states it. We are
sorry to see this little republic in
such condition, yet this is the
best way out.

LITTLE RESPECT FOR DEAD.
South American Countries Have Prinr
itlve Burial Customs.

fO
Havana's cemetery is typical OF tbs
hnrying places of all Spanish-Ameri.
can countries. It consists of wall
eight to ten feet thick, honeycombed
with inches for the reception of cOf
fms, and surrounding plot of land
which is never used for burial pur-
poses and is usually in neglected
condition. The cemetery Is run by the
municipal authorities and the inches
are rented. The payment required
upon the sealing of one of these holes
in the wall insures an undisturbed
resting place for it's contents for three
or five years from that time, accord
ing to the particular custom of the To-
cality. Then an annual rental must
be paid for period of twenty-five
years, at the, end of which time the
tenant gets title in perpetuity. But
how few ever find last resting place
in one of these inches is shown by the
fact that, despite the tremendous In
crease in population since it was built
two or three centuries ago, the ceme
terry has never been enlarged and
there are always plenty Of vacancies.
Upon default Of payment of the rental
the bones are raked out OF the niche
and it is ready for the next occupant.
The bones are placed in one corner OF
the cemetery, and there, at least. they
lie undisturbed through the passing Of
years as the pile constantly grows
larger.

GEORGE WASHINGTON.

On last Wednesday, nearly 200
years ago, George Washington
was born. He is called, aud may
truly be styled, the father of our
country, for he had no children,
hence the American people could
call him father.
At the age of II ne was a sur
veyor, at the age of 19 he was
made captain of a company of
Virginia militia, later he took
charge of the Old Continental
army and for eight ong..years
through all the trials, horrors
and hardships no man ever suffer-
ed and endured SO much, and in
the midst of gloom and almost des-
pair he would encourage his bare
footed, half-clothed and starving
army and saved them from mutt
ny and destruction. He ives the
hero of his age. There are two
great characters that stand out
in his life 1st was his honesty
and purity of character; he never
told lie. Second his loyalty
and love of country; he freely
gave all his service in war and
would not accept pay for his
work-grsater sacrifice no man
can offer. LIE. this nation al
ways REVERE his. memory and
children eulogize his great deeds
for he was first in war, first in
peace, first president and first in
the hearts of his countrymen.

curing government aid for Tennyson.
Richard Mines" said Carlyle, slow
ly, Withdrawing his pipe from his
mouth, when are you going to get
that pension for Alfred Tennyson?"
Mines replied that it was not an easy
matter. His constituents, he said.
probably knew nothing of Tennyson or
his poetry. and might think it piece
Of jobbery from which some relative
Of Mines was to benefit. Richard

of judgment when the Lord asks you
why you didn't get that pension for
Alfred Tennyson it will not do to lay
the blame on your constituents; it 10
