WASHINGTON, August Support
ant information concerning the polit-
ical. and financial conditions in the
Dominican republic is contained in a
letter, under date OF June 25th, which
has been received by General Clarence
r. Edwards, chief of the Bureau Of
Insular Affairs of the War Depart
ment, from w. E. Pulliam, Unitel
States receiver of customs OF Santo
Domingo.
The belief is expressed in the letter
that, with the Inauguration of Presl-
dent Caceres. the Dominican republic
will enter upon new era, and that
the last vestige of formidable revo-
lutionary tendencies in the republic
will have been discouraged effectually.
An immense improvement is shown
In the financial condition Of the repub-
lie. The income for the present fiscal
wear. which began on the LIST OF July,
is estimated at $3,94S,30O. the largest
in the history of the republic Re

Discussing political conditions In the
republic, Receiver Pulliam says:
'.General Ramon Caceres, who is Just
completing the unexpired term of the
presidency, to which he succeeded IN
January, 1906. after the sensational
withdrawal and subsequent deportation
of President Morales, has been elected
for the new constitutional term of SIX
years, and will be formally inaugurated

Feiser and Brooks were the opposing

Feiser was hit for five singles and a

Impurities fill it with poisons the

It needs a purifier. Stuarts Calcium
Waters give to the blood through the
same channels as food all the strength
and stimulus necessary to remove the
impurities and to make rich corpuscles
which will feed the body or fight its
enemies.
Time was when poor blood purifiers
had to be used, such as herbs and
roots, powdered minerals, etc, but
thanks to latter day achievement the
Stuart process gives to the system the
full rich strength of Calcium Sulphide,
the greatest blood purifier known to
science.
These little powerful waters are pre-
pared by one of the most noted expert
pharmaceutical chemists in the world
and so far as science is concerned no
expense has been spared to make them
perfect.
They contain Quassia Golden Seal
and Eucalyptus, each a most powerful
aid to the blood Of man.
Thousands of people use these wa
fers with religious zeal and their tes-
timonial evidence is an unfailing
source of interest 20 one who reads it.
Melancholy marks every suffering

OPERA COMPANY Is
COMING TO THE GRAND
Ferris Hartman and San Francisco
Singers Will Open Season at
Local House Later

Ferris Hartman, a light operate
comedian well and popularity known in
San Francisco and other cities, will
come to the Grand opera house for a
stock season beginning probably within
a fortnight or three weeks. Mr.. Hart
man will open i'll 1.-THE Idols Eye"
Later he will present 1T Happened in
Nordland" and other operas in which
he has been successful through pro-
tracted engagement at the Princess
theater, San Francisco.
Several weeks ago it was rumored
that the opera company was coming
here, but the runor was promptly de-
MED. Since then, however, the situa-
ton has changed. Kolb and Dill are
going into the Princess, which is an
affiliated Orpheum house in San Fran
cisco, as the Grand is here. Originally
1t was declared that the opera company
would disband and the Gayety company
continue at the Grand.
The determination to close the Gay
ETY. season, however, made room for
Mr.. Hartman and his associates, and
they will come here in consequence.
In the company are Arthur Cunning
ham, Zoe Barnett, Walter de Leon,
Sybil Page, Sarah Edwards, Chrlntina
Nielsen, Walter Catlett and others
The company will number about forty
persons.

MISS FLORENCE STONE

| Originally 1t was stated upon the
authority of Dick Ferris that she never
would appear on the stage except under
his own management. In the end, how
ever, Mr.. Ferris changed his mind.
When he and Miss Stone, who in pri-
vate life is Mrs. Ferris. returned to
their West Adams street home in this
city they expected to be able to secure
a theater here in which to play during
the winter. This, however, proved i'm
practicable. Mr.. Ferris has large bust
ness interests in the city which demand
his attention. Consequently he found
himself compelled to remain here.
In this circumstance was Mr.. Moros-
co.'s opportunity, and he was not slow
to take advantage of it. He made Miss
Stone a most f1attering offer. In fact
1t is said that her salary, stated to be
$500 a week, is the largest ever paid a
stock leading woman. She hesitated
and finally accepted.
The duration of Miss Stones engage
ment is not made public, but she prob
ably will remain at the Burbank for
two months at least. She Is too well
known locally to require an introduction
to Los Angeles theater-goers, her two
seasons at the Auditorium at the head
of the Dick Ferris company having
served to fix her firmly in the affections
of local play patrons.
