municipalities at the principal ports OF
entry. and the corporate towns in the
interior. When the Dominican govern
ment reduced the national tariff the mu-
inequalities put theirs up, and 1t looked
as II there would be conflict between
the United States and the Dominican
Republic over the clause in the treaty
providing that there should be no change
In the tariff without the assent Of the
United States. 1t was quite apparent that
the municipal tax schedules were drawn
with the idea of again fixing taxation
on different articles of importation, SO
that the burdens would fall upon the
necessities instead of the luxurles. Inc
United States felt that this intricate leg1s-
lation was much in contravention OF
the treaty as direct legislation would
have been. and insisted that the munich
pal tariffs be modified. which was<done.
The rehabilitation Of the finances or
Santo Domingo has brought with 1t an
era of development and expansion
which is gratifying both to the people
who live in the island, and to those
who have property interests there. The
climbing higher and higher with each
passing year. and the whole Dominican
people seem to be feeling some Of the
benefits of the prosperity which has
plan on foot to utilize the many thou
sands of acres of sugar land for the
growing of cane. the cane to be car
ried by vessels across the Mona pas
sage to Porto Rico and there manufac
tured into sugar and shipped into the
United States. When 1t is remembered
that sugar lands are somewhat scarce
in Porto Rico. and cost about five
times as much as those in Santo
Domingo. while plantation labor in
Porto Rico costs from two to three
times as much as labor in Santo Do
mingo. the advantage Of such a plan
will appear.
Until the present time 1t has looked
as II the receivership would be the
open sesame for revolution in the
Dominican Republic. There have been
many threatened uprisings. but with
out the finances of the customs house
they have not gone very far. There
is revolution on now, but the De-
partment of State is using it's efforts
to bring the warning factions together.
Backed by the receivership control of
the customs house. the Washington
authorities are hopeful of the outcome

EMPRESS EUGENE, IS,
IN EXILE FOR AZ YEARS
Receives kilograms From
Royal Family on Occasion
of Birthday.
Special Cablegram to The Star.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON, May 13.-The aged Empress
Eugene attained her eighty sixth veal
during the week and received kilograms
and letters from every member of the
British royal family and a souvenir from
her goddaughter. the Queen OF Spain.
The wonderful woman now has spent
exactly forty-two years Of her life in
exile. but still likes to retain in her home
the royal etiquette she enjoyed at the
wife Of Napoleon III
For instance, at her English home,
Chislehurst, her weekend guests are ali
expected to bow low when the empress
enters the drawing room before dinner
In spite OF her great age the empress
can still make stately courtesy, and this
she does, taking all the guests with the
one bow and afterward proceeding alone
before her guests into the dining room.
Attentions Are Pleasing.
In the little hotel where the empress
frequently stays In Paris she is treated by
the manager and servants just as if she
still were empress. These little atten-
lions please the old lady immensely.
These little weaknesses of the Empress
Eugene appeal to her friends, but the
same cannot be said of the Duke
dOrleans, who has just sold Wood Nor
ton to Sir Charles Swinfen Eady.
The duke has announced that his
wife's health does not permit her to re-
main in England, but clubmen in London
tell very different story.
They say the duke was so unpopular
here he could never get guests to stay
at Wood Norton, where he kept up a
ridiculously regal state. even to making
servants walk backward from his pres
ence, Englishmen never forgave the
duke for his ungratitude to this country
which he displayed by grossly affronting
Queen Victoria at the time of the Boer
war.

With the dark costume 1t would be i'm
agined that a colored hat would be worn.
but today we see nothing but the black
marquis, or capeline, or small shape with
an aigrette in feathers or osprey. By
feathers / mean those of the ostrich. The
marquis is perhaps the most prevalent
because it is young, and can be placed at
an angle that suits the face best. These
hats vary in price, of course, but you can
detect in a moment the chic that the fine
quality of chip gives. Quality is every
thing today, for there is little trimming
to particularize a hat. Therefore every
thing depends upon the shape, and, I re-
peat, the quality.
High Heels the Rage.
The panniers make slow progress, but
the high heels are higher than ever. The
effect of over-arched feet tapping the
turf was rather ludicrous at the races the
other day. AS much skill is required in
balancing oneself on these leather stills
as in walking in hobbled skirt.
Both require certain training, nor are
the bent knees. which the high heels i'm
rather a plague of rheumatism affecting
the neither limbs of the sex.

Note of Spring at Ball.
There is no spot in Paris where the
note of spring is SO pronounced as in this

slender, smiling, graceful, whirls upon
