The most remarkable and striking feature of the new Liverpool Cathedral will be the height of the vaulting of the nave and choir measured in the barrel vaulting, one hundred and six teen feet, and in the nigh transepts, one hundred and forty feet which cannot fail to produce a very magnifi cent effect No cathedral in the coun try approaches its height - The nearest is Westminster, the nave of which has a height of one hundred and two feet, while York measures ninety-nine feet; Salisbury eighty-four, and Lin coln eighty-two. Chester reached only seventy-eight. The "whispering gal lery" f St Paul's Cathedral is one hundred .feet from the floor.

When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear ing, and when it is entirely closed. Deafness is tha result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing; will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of thermucoui surfaces.

The action of the insurgents of San to Domingo in deliberately firing on the American flag, killing B, C Johns ton, a naval engineer, wounding Charles Doctor, a bugler, and other wise committing warlike acts against the government of the United States has succeeded in raising an interesting I international complication. It will be remembered by those who have kept track of the affair that-Johnston was shot while on a launch on its way from the shore to the United States- auxiliary cruiser Yankee. The small American nag in the stern of the boat was riddled. Doctor was wounded in a subsequent engagement of the Co lumbia with some of the insurgent forces. About a week after the killing . of Johnston, it will also be recalled, a merchant steamer named the New TO HABBOB MIS GO CITT. OF SAJT DO- York discharged her cargo at the port of Santa Domingo under what was thought to be an agreement of the con tending forces. She was fired on by the Insurgents, however, -and the Unit ed States cruiser Newark retaliated by shelling the town of Pajarlto, in which the rebels were encamped, afterward landing a force of marines and driving out the insurgent troops. All of this naturally led to further complications. Though the rebel forces have been very thoroughly beaten in subsequent engagements with the troops of Presi dent Morales, the Island is yet in a very unsettled condition, and there is a considerable party, in which the com mercial element predominates, that is favorable to annexation to the United GENERAL VIEW OF THE 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 Seward 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 ever, 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 a formal propo sition to President Grant looking to the annexation of Santo Domingo to the United States. It was in July, 1869, that Grant received the 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 I mltted 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. Meanwhile affairs in the little repub lic were in a troubled condition. There were frequent uprisings, and presi dents came in rapid succession until in 1886 General Ulysses - Heureux was elected, and the constitution was so al tered that he could succeed himself. 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 1899, when he was assassinated. Shortly after the violent close of the Heureux regime came the revolu- tlon that resulted in making General Jiminez president , . In 1902 occurred another revolution, which was success ful in forcing Jiminez to resign, on which the vice president Vasquez. was installed, to be succeeded in 1903 by General Morales, against whom the present revolution is directed. In San to Domingo the president is ejected for four years, unless sooner "revoluted" out of office. The people are. of mixed Spanish, negro and Indian blood. The govern ment is modeled on that of the Ameri can republic and so far as form is con cerned is said to be quite ideal. Santo Domingo is one of the most beautiful of the West India islands. It lies between Cuba and Porto Rico. In Samana Bay it possesses one of the finest natural harbors in the world. It was this port which President Grant was especially anxious to secure as a coaling station. - The oldest settlement made in the new world was on this island, Columbus himself having founded it Here the great discoverer" was buried and here for a number of years was the capital of the Spanish possessions to the new world. At the end of the eighteenth century Spain ceded the eastern half of the island to France, which held the west ern half. Soon after the entire coun try under Toussalnt L'Ouverture gain ed its independence. In 1844 came the rebellion of the eastern portion of the island, resulting in the formation of the present Dominican Republic FAMOUS BLAZES IN LONDON. British Houses of Parliament Were Burned on Oct. 16, 1834. Oct 16 Is a day to be associated with fire in the minds of Londoners, for on that date, in 1834, the houses of parlia ment were burned down, and on the same day, in 1733, Berkeley house was destroyed by fire, says the London Chronicle. Berkeley house stood on the site of the present Devonshire house and Evelyn does not seem to have thought much of it "The stair case is of cedar," he writes. "The fur niture Is princely; the kitchen and sta bles are ill-placed and the corridors worse. The porticos are in imitation of a house described by Pal ladio, but it happens to be the worst in his books." The fire was caused, according to the Daily Journal of the day after, "by the workmen leaving a clim tint imnnv shanlnirs whlfh rmilArl over while they were at breakfast and CITY OF SAN DOMINGO. 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 years 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. a proposition was made to use pen, ink and paper, red tapeism scouted the Idea, and the use of tally sticks was continued down to the year 1828. In 1834 the large stock was ordered to be destroyed, and In stead of distributing them to the poor of the Tieighborhood, some wiseacre 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. As to Joe Chamberlain.

' PE-RU-NA, Most of the Aliments Peculiar to the Female Sex are Due to Catarrh of the Pelvic Organs. Rachael J. Ktmball, M. D., 334 Vir ginia St., Buffalo, N.

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 cases of female weakness. As a rule, 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 themselves td surgical operations, and taken all sorts of doctor's stuff, without any result.

What will cure catarrh of the head will also cure catarrh of the pelvic or gans. Peruna cures 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- The Money Went. Uncle Wayback I jus' tell you, th' city is an awful place.
