of office, is seated with more or less en- thusiasm; but the country is not able to subside and set to the work of pro ducing; the green-eyed monster fires the breast of one of the highly ambi- tious now another revolution, new strife for the presidency.
 One San Domingo president held his place with persistency, but finally was assassinated. We refer to Gen. Heureaux, whose rule was firm, if cor rupt, and under whom the republic prospered to a considerable degree. f"In his reign it is estimated that not less than 2,OOO were executed by the presidents order for conspiracy, actual or suspected. Thus he suppressed all opposition. His government was prob ably the most corrupt in the history of the republic, but his treatment of those who would disturb the peace had It's stimulating effect on the com mercial status of Santo Domingo" Hueureaux held office IA years.
 The man who next realized the am bition of being president of the coun- try was Jiminez, but he did not long remain in the high place. In the live years succeeding the assassination of Hueureaux, San Domingo averaged a president year, and four of the five obtained their places by means of ro.

 President Harper Buried at Chicago
 as He Himself Planned. ak s CHICAGO, Jan. b. .a-2The body. of William Rainey Harper, late president of tho University of Chicago. has been laid to rest in q vault in Oakwood' $ cemetery. The final resting place of the body of the distinguished educator will. however, < be on the university campus. where it is planned to build a memorial chapel and crypt.
 The body lay in state in Haskell hall from s o'clock in the morning in the room where Dr. Harper had led the faculty meetings in administrating the educational affairs of the university.

Patient Literalness.

A story Is told of the Soudan rail- way which shows patient literalness To an official there came the telegram from an outlying station: station master has died Shall I bury him?" The reply was sent: Yes. bury sta ton master. but please make sure he is really dead before you do so.". Ir due time back came the message: Have buried station master. Made sure he was dead by hitting him twice on the head with a hshplste." There vas perfect assurance that there had been no premature burial.

A TRAGIC NEW YEAR
St. Petersburg Is Stirred by
 Students Assassination.
WOULDN'TCRY "COD SAVE THECzAR!'
Celebration of Russian Festival at 'sthe Bear" Restaurant Ends In Mob Fight and Murder by
 . Moscow Noble.

ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 15.-A trag. edy in which student paid with his life the penalty of refusing to do bonor to the old regime took place ill the well known restaurant The Bear shortly aft CT midnight The annual ceremony of watching the Russian old year out was being observed with something like the former festivities The great hall was crowded, and the orchestra of Mile. Ri- go, sister of the paramour of the Prin- cess Chimay, upon the stroke of mid night burst forth with God Save the Emperorr' The guests, with the excep- tion of student named David0ff, a member of an aristocratic family, rose to their feet, and the officers present de manded an encore, being determined to turn the celebration into loyalist dem onstration. Count Sherematieff, rela- tive of the notorious Moscow reaction ary, applied an epithet to Davidof for refusing to honor the national anthem and pulled his chair from under him.
 Hot words followed, and suddenly in the midst of the exclamation of New Year the guests were startled by five shots in rapid succession, and the body of the student lay on the floor. Inde- scribable confusion followed. Count Sherematieff, in addition to killing Da- vidoff, wounded two women.
 Three companions of Davidoff, armed with champagne bottles, attacked the murderer, who, with blood streaming from his face, managed to fight his way to the door. Women shrieked and tainted
 The confusion eliminated in won derful dramatic controversy across the dead body of the student the impas- stoned spectators of the tragedy having ranged themselves according to their political opinions on either side of it.. A well known courtesan stamped her foot as from the side of the loyalists she declared the student has met his due. The climax came when an aunt of Davidoff, who had tainted when the boy was shot, having regained con sciousness, rushed forward and threw herself between the disputants and up- on the body, passionately kissing the cold blood stained face. A regular panic followed.
 The guests at The Bear. many of whom were the leaders of society in St. Petersburg. including number of dip lomats, hastened away in order to avoid being summoned as witnesses.
 The affair has been universally ac- cepted by superstitious Russians as an augury that bloodshed, passion and vio- lence will reign in the empire in 1908. The Korean war minister. who is staying at the Hotel de France here, had a narrow escape from assassina- tion at the hands of young Korean, said to he the minister's interpreter, who stabbed the minister eleven times with knife. ..-.

To Make Florida an Island.

A canal of great importance which acquires construction Is across the northern part of the peninsula of Flor ida. Such a canal would save 700 miles between New Orleans and New York. and about the same distance between our other gulf and Atlantic cities. Most vessels between these ports now % two days out of their way and, when time is SO important and the cost of sea transportation so great, this cannot forever be endured. Florida Is level. and 50 can be cut without much dificulty or expense: and there are some streams which could be utilized for part of the route. -Technical World Magazine.

ure of the debtor. Years ago, France, England and Spain made seizure of Mexico for this cause; and we have the recent instance of Germany, Italy, and England making a peaceful blockade" of a port in Venezuela. Uncle Sam thought to avoid this state of affairs, thought to keep the revered Monroe Doctrine inviolate as we'll as help aid weaker brother learn some. thing of the important lesson of pay ing his debts. Up north we have had no small dissension about the modus vivendi and the treaty ratification, but affairs down in San Domingo have seemed to be going pretty smoothly un. til just recently. Now San Domingo is up to her old tricks-another 'rev. olution.''
 Until the ratification of treaty should definitely settle the matter of this country looking after the revenue collection, our men have been acting under an agreement between the con tending factions in San Domingo This action has been criticised, called doing by indirection what the senate had not yet countenanced: but with the pros and cons of this we have noth' ing to dol The Dominicans appear not to have been able to stand by and see gold piling up which they were not allowed to handle: they were i'm pelled to protest. A cablegram gives as cause of the outbreak. dissatisfac tion with the agreement entered in by Morales with the United States gov. ernment looking toward financial con trol by the Americans. But any old cause does down in San Domingo.
 Morales hold on the presidency for some time past has been weakening He had counted on being backed by the Americans. because it was he that negotiated the original treaty with the United States. For awhile it looked as though our government. in the inter ests of peace. championed Carlos E Morales. that it approved of letting him finish his term of office. Morales however, must have realized the term was not to be completed with any ease for behold his flight his efforts to en roll new followers.

Dear Sirs: Now, may be, you can't
get the goods if you can, your fortune
is made.
Cotton cIoth-they call it muslin in
some parts-at about the usual price
per yard but wider, twice as wide as
some, and better, wears better, keeps
white and whole a surprising time in
all sorts of wear.
You could call that cloth for hum
dreds Of miles there'd be no limit.
A yard goes further; one buys less
yards. Wears longer one buys less
often. 1t always looks right till we'll
worn-out. No one customer buys so
much of it, but think Of the number Of
customers
May be you can't get it in cloth but
you can in paint: Devoe. Devoe is as
if it were wider gallon goes further /;
you buy less gallons; you pay for less
gallons you pay for painting less gal
lOns-as if one paid lesss&Or making a
garment of that wide cleth-aDd it
keeps its fresh look and sheds water till
you have forgotten how old it is.
1t isn't true in cloth, but it is in paint :
the less you pay, the better it is for
the goodness Of paint is reckoned by
gallons; less gallons, more goodness.
Goodness in paint is strength. The
stronger paint. the less gallons it takes
for job and the lenger it wears.

relief but not positive results. Some Of
