shelling the town of Pajarlto, In which
the rebels were encamped, afterward
landing a force of marines and driving

naturally led to further complications.

States, or at least to a protectorate by
the American government The an
nexation Idea was one of the cherished
dreams of President Grant Indeed, it
even .antedates Grant for Secretary
Beward about the time of the Alaska
purchase elaborated a plan looking to
American possession of Santo Domin
go. It Is probable that the idea did not
originate in the United States, how
eyer, but in the island itself, for the
merchant classes there have always
favored an American protectorate.
It was doubtless due to this Influ
ence that President Baez of the Do
minican Republic sent formal propo
sition to President Grant looking to
the annexation of Santo Domingo to
the United States. It was in July,
1809, that Grant received tho proposal,
and he lost no time in sending a spe
cial commissioner to the island to look
Into conditions and report After some
further negotiations the treaty of an
nexation was prepared, the question
was submitted to the voters of Santo
Domingo, who gave It almost unani
mous approval at a special election
held for the purpose, and Grant sub
mitted the treaty to the United States
Senate for ratification. Charles Sum
ner, chairman of the foreign affairs
committee, bitterly opposed the ratifi
cation of the treaty, and succeeded in
securing sufficient support to defeat
the treaty. The annexation talk died
down and has not been renewed until
recent years, although the commercial
party in the island still continued to
favor the plan.
I Meanwhile affairs in the little repub
lic were In a troubled condition. There
were frequent uprisings, and presi
dents came Jn rapid succession until In
1880. General . Ulysses Ileureux was
elected, and the constitution was so al
tered that he could succeed himself.
t This he did with somewhat monoton
ous regularity, so contriving matters
that It was impossible to oust him.
Heureux was a young man when he
went into office and an ambitious one.
He became practical dictator of the
country, banishing or executing those
who opposed him. In this manner he
continued in power until 1800, when
he was assassinated.
Shortly after the violent close of
the Ileureux regime came tho revolu-
set fire to the house." This was before
the days of policemen, for "the Earl of
Albemarle attended in person, with a
party of guards, to secure what goods
were saved from being plundered by
the mob; and all persons unknown
were searched as they went out"
The burning of the houses of parlia
ment over sixty-nine yers ago was
caused by official stupidity. For cen
turies the accounts of the exchequer
had been kept by means of the anti
quated tally stick, and though in the
reign of George III. o proposition wai
made to use pen, ink and paper, red
tupeism scouted the idea, and the use
of tally sticks was continued down to
the year 1823. In 1834 the large stock
was ordered to be destroyed, and in
stead of distributing them to the poor
of the. neighborhood, some wbeacre
decided that they should be burned in
the stove of the House of Lords. The
stove became overheated, set fire to the
paneling, the paneling set fire to the
House of Lords and the House of
Lords set fire to the House of Com
mons. The cost to the nation was
about 2,000,000.

"My conviction, supported by ex
perience, is that Peruna Is a valuable
preparation for all catarrhal affections.
I have taken one bottle of Peruna my
self and Just feel fine. I shall continue
to take it." Rachael J. Kemball,
M.D.
Peruna has cured thousands of caeeB
of female weakness. As a rnle, how
ever, before Peruna is resorted to sev
eral other remedies have been tried in
vain. A great many of the patients
have taken local treatment, submitted
tnemselves to surgical operations, and
taken all sorts of doctor's stuff, without
soy result.
The reason of so many failures is the
fact that diseases peculiar to the female
sex are not common
ly recognized as be
ing caused by ca
tarrh. These organs
are lined by mucous membranes. Any
mucous membrane is subject to catarrh
Catarrh of one organ is exactly the
same as catarrh of any other organ'.
What will cure catarrh of the head
will also cure catarrh of the pelvic or
gans. Peruna cores these cases simply
because it cures the catarrh. '
Most of the women afflicted ,with
pelvic diseases have no idea that their
trouble is due to catarrh. The major-

ity of the people think that catarrh is
a disease confined to the head alone.
This is not true. Catarrh is liable
to attack any organ of the body;

kidneys and especially the pelvio
organs.
Many a woman' has made this dhh
coveiy after a long siege of useless treat
orient. She has made the discovery
that her disease is catarrh, and that
Peruna can be relied upon to cure ca
