The newest dust cloeks are OF silk and

showerproof. Some have jelly-ba8
or have capes forming sleeves.
According TO Paris papers the Oxford
laced shoes In French kid are worn in
doors and out.
Hats, as o rule, are altogether larger.
Shoes with the so-called Wurtembure
heels, cut In one piece with the sole. and
wider and higher under the foot, are
much worn just now in Paris.
The watch protecting pocket Is
another novelty, designed to protect
the watch from pickpockets. It IS made
OF kid, lined with washleather and
lined with metal like o porte mon aaie.
The bright, gay parasols and sun
shades seen In Paris are no longer CON

Essay ON the Cow.

A contemporary beautifully and elo-
quently solilloquizes
What a fountain of blessing is COW.
She is the mother OF beef, the source OF
butter, the original cause Of cheese, to
say nothing Of shoes, horns, hair combs
and upper leather. A gentle, amiable,
yielding creature, who has no JOY In her
family affairs which she does not share
with man. We rob her OF milk, and we
only care for her that the robbery may
be perpetuated.

CAUGHT ON THE Private watch.
man Jones Otey about 5 O'Clock yesterday
morning discovered a negro named DsVlo
Wheat coming out the rear way OF H.. L.
Jacobson's sore, which is on Main street
near Fifteenth, with lot of paint aud white
lead. The thief fed. but one shot II ON Mr..
Otey's pistol caused him to halt, and he was
captured, and was yesterday morning sent
on to the grand jury by the Police Justice.
This H the way George Wilde disposes OF
the case: :,
David Whest was not as good as the cereal
frsm which he derived the name BY which
he yegetstes among bis feaow mortals, or at
least it would sppear so from the fast that
he was charged with projecting himself into
the domicii Of n. L. Jacobson by felonious
appliances and dsvious'ways, and thence e1-
tractipg bucket Of lead and can OF pain, !,
worth $3.50, current funds. "David," said
his Honor, .sthe way Of the transgresser Is
usually rocky. I see no reason to believe
that you will be an exception. In fact, this
Court does not think that two kegs Of white
pigment. judiciously applied, would conceal
the blsckness OF your moral lapse. l commit
YOU to the tender mercles OF the Hustings
Court; and if the country on which you will
there be called to cast yourself for deliver
snce should, In the plentitude OF It's WISDOM,
yank YOU farther towards the setting sun, l
say unto you as Nathan said unto DAVID,
sThou canst not say l did it, Chalkley,
take him down."

TIE DEFICIT IN The STATE TREAsuRY-THg
MATTER EXPLAINED General johnson has
made an investigation and .Sn explanation as
| to the report of the Auditor Of Public Ac-
counts, concerning deficiency of s409, 1000,
collected from direct taxes for the years
1871, '72, '73, IA, and which ought to have
been paid to the school fund, but which has
been used for other purposes of government.
The impression made by this report was that
this money had been spent in such manner
In the general expenditure that in point or
fact our tx Penses had actually exceeded our
receipts during the time named by the sum
Of $4,000
On examining the matter it is said that
this is not 80. 1t 10 true that S4O9 00e ls due
| the school fund for the years l87l-'74, but it
is also the fact that every dollar Of this
| money, and more too, 10 still in the posses.
sion and control OF the State in the sinking
fund, or is due the State in solvent de BITS.
In other words, while We have failed to pay
| 100000 to the school fund We have paid
that money into the sinking fund, or it is
still dus the State.
The books in the Offices Of the Auditor OF
Public Accounts and the Second Auditor
! show that during the years 1872, '75, ~ there
was paid 10 cash to the sinking fund for in
terest on,bonds held by it, $233. 1851; paid
to sinking fund bends received from sherifs,
&C., for taxes, $74.521.33; bonds 10 hands
of Auditor OF Public Accounts, s., ,200-to-
tai paid sinking fund In the years named,
1916 1864. Besides this We have paid
1858, 1864 to the school fund, being full in
terest on bonds Of the State held by the
Literary Board.
The other creditors were paid only four
per cent, and the school fund was paid six.
So it has received one third more-SS7 1922 IA
more than it would have received if an ordi-
rasry creditsr. Deductiug this u.s., 1922 ~
from the $4aa, 10000 due the school fund
lsayes the sum Of 1921 7.S6 due the school
fnnd il it stands on the footing of an ordi-
nsry creditor. We have over 100000 still
due for taxes Tor three years, which are
perfectly good and will be, collected. While,
therefore, we really owe the school fund

A CARY.SrRHRr WARHHoUsB PANTY
WRncKED.-At midnight Tuesday, or fcw
minutes later, part Of the roof and por-
lions of four floors OF the extensive ware
house on the southwest corner Of Cary and

southwest corner of the wall, fell in, carry
ing with the debris to the cellar several
hundred kegs Of nails and two or three hun
dred toms OF iron.
The building was owned by Mr.. Alfred

ary. When it was first taken Mr.. r. K. Blank

secure, had double line Of well-buils brick
pillars thirty inches square built up from
the ground In the cellar to support the
street floor, upon which most OF the com-
pary's sock was stored.
On the second floor, or the floor above the
street, there was stored several huDdi ed kegs
of nails, but most of them were on the east
side OF the building, which did not fall in.
On the third floor there were also few kegs
of nails, but in tho opinion OF the officers OF
the company the weight was of no conse.
quence.
On the upper floor little or none OF the
stock was stored.
About Two thirds OF the building fell ip,
leaving strip, as it were, on the sides near
est to Fourteenth street and the front on
Cary street. On the Cary. street side part
of the second floor bad been partitioned on
for an Office. Upon the Cary.street wall in

so great that it stopped its running. There
were evidences of the crash even In the por.

sprung.
