One of the Presidents Blunders.


1t was really an awful crime when
President Roosevelt in his impulsive
way "butted" into the affairs of Santo
Domingo The results proved this
and are another telling Indictment
against his administration. He not
only made the islanders stop fighting
among themselves, but he forced the
foreign creditors Of the island to take
somewhere near the actual value Of
their claims. What could have been
worse?
Reports now show that under the
administration of the representatives
of this government the custom receipts
of the island have increased nearly
fifty per cent over the estimate Of two
years ago For the fiscal year end
ing in 1906 the estimate was S2.114,000
and the actual receipts s2.5O2,000.
For the year just ended the estimate
was $2,5S0,000 and the receipts $S,1S1.-
O00 The total revenues are also a
fourth greater than formerly, while
instead of expending vast sums TO sup
press the ever present resolutions
this money is now used for roads and
other internal improvements.

The Sox are finding things good and
easy at Washington and three more
pitchers bit the dust before the warriors
from Chicago. Charley Smith was the

against other teams. he only lasted
three innings. partially because of an
accident. Issy drove a cannon ball at
him in the first that nearly took off
his wing and probably slowed him up.
Seven hits came off his delivery in
three innings and Case Patten took up
the work and was followed by Geh-

Silk and Muslin Used by the Leading
Toilette Fashions.

One of the quaint conceits Of the
new fashions is the combination Of
silk and muslin. In one such model
cream-colored batiste is used over a
foundation of blue silk This forms
the skirt proper. At the bottom
there is f1ounce of silk which pre-
cisely matches the shade brought out
by the cream batiste over the blue,
and it is attached to the skirt with a
serpentine lace insertion which shows
the silk underneath More of the in
sertion outlines the princesse front

finely. is cut away in V-shape, with a
chemisette of the blue silk, en-
broidered in pretty forget-me-not de-
sign, inserted. \ narrow crush girdle
of blue silk, raised in the back and

pretty a costume as one could hope

days Of the ancients the liver was re.
garded, as the seat of that indefinable
something we know as the soul. All
the earlier writings accepted this liver
theory, said Prof. Jastrow, hence if
we accept the ancient authorities we
must subscribe to the doctrine.
The, ancient's admiration for the
liver is easily understood. 1t is the
largest gland in the body. Unlike the
lungs, stomach and other organs. it is
beautiful red, in health, and is firm
and clean looking: The heart itself is
much smaller and gives no such i'm
preston of strength.
Therefore, writer's of old in telling
Of that spirit of man which should sur
viye long after his material body had
passed into dust, placed it in his liver.
In consequence of the deliberations
of this years philosophical society,
physicians have not lacked: in subjects.

The Necessary Extra Frock

some the stripes are quite close to-
gether and in others far apart, but
there is little to choose between the
designs, all being about equally at
tractive. Then there are the fancy
serges, and for their weight and good
wearing quality serges cannot be sur
passed There are various mixtures
in this weave, so that, while kept on
the one color, the cloth, whether blue
or black, looks somewhat dressier
than with the plain surface. For an
inexpensive gown plain plush serge
is one of the best investments, for it
will stand an immense amount of
hard usage.
In ordering a dark cloth frock it
should be remembered that it is in
tended solely to save some lighter and
handsomer costume, and it should be
of model that is a convenient one
for regular everyday wear. First OF
ALL it should be quite plain, with a
full, walking length skirt and severe
jacket with long sleeves, for it must
not be necessary to wear long gloves
for travelling, and constant use is not
healthy. Another and most i'm
portant point for this suit is that it
must be as light in weight as cloth
can be, for even during the summer
it is often necessary to wear cloth
suit for travelling.

DARK SUIT INDISPENSABLE IN
WARDROBE,
Many Little Devices by Which Its
somberness May BE Relieved
by Touches Of Color at
Wrists and Neck.

There is no use in attempting to
get along without dark cloth suit,
for no matter how fresh and attractive
the light costume may look at this
time OF year, no delicate shade can re-
ceive constant wear without soon be-
coming soiled and shabby, so that the
extra frock is in the end a good in
vestment. If too somber the dress can
always be relieved by white collar and
cuffs, and then bright color can be
introduced in the hat to add to the ef-
feet and make the gown in keeping
with the season.
Either black or dark blue is best
for the tailor costume, and brown
may be used IF peculiarly becoming,
although in the darker shades the lat
ter is apt to look too dreary in warm
weather. A tiny line of white is seen
in number of the newest cloths, and
this at once takes away from the
mourning look of an all black suit. In

extensive showing of new designs in
the silk itself, it is claiming distinc-
ton to a considerable degree through
some original modes of construction.
One effective design has a straight
skirt gathered closely at the waist

is bordered at the bottom with a six

foulard is black dotted with white
There is also a narrow stitched band
which extends from the hem each

GERMANY'S NEW CANAL.
The Telton, S23 Miles Long, Diverts an

The Telton, '2a Miles Long, Diverts an
Enormous Traffic.
The greatest recent canal project
in Germany is the Telton canal, near
Berlin. The immense river traffic on
the Havel and the Spree has been
much hampered by being obliged to
follow these streams through the city.
The Telton canal permits this traffic
to be diverted
The canal is only twenty-three miles
long, and there is saving in dis
tance of only twenty miles in the
main river route. But the gain Is in
the time formerly necessary to get
through the city. The total expense
of construction, including buildings,
harbors and electric works, was about
$11,500,O00.
The channel, says the World to-day,
is 20 metres broad at the bottom and
from to ESQ metres deep, with a
towpath metres broad
There is only one lock, with a fall
of water of 81 metres. In its con-
struction the latest and most improved
system has been employed. It's gates,
etc., are worked by electricity sup
piled by the canals own electric
works, the towing also being mainly
done by electric locomotives. Fifty
five bridges had to be built, but the
expenditure is fully justified by the
enormous traffic through Berlin,
which amounted in 1905 to nearly H.

three different kinds of lace, all put

three days and three nights.
Against the theory of being able to
live for even a couple Of hours in the
interior of whale is aligned the uni

which says that suffocation would re-

from confinement in such quarters.
Next to the discussions on Jonah
and the water-walking story in point
of interest came study of the soul by
Prof Morris Jastrow in which he ad-
yanced the proposition that in the
