REVENUE COLLECTORS.
Reduction of the Internal-Revenue Dis
tricts-Thirty-six Heads to Come on.
" I'll


Washington telegram
Secretary Folger is meditating upon the
proposed reduction of the internal-revenue
di .tricts He will have the unpleasant duty
of docapitating the Collectors done by July
1. At any rate, he hopes so. He grows
more sanguinaly the more he thinks about
t. He thought first of leaving an even
100, then he fixed upon ninety-three, but
now he has in contemplation a basket
of tn rty-six heads, which will leave
but ninety. The saving to the Government,
even under this process of defamation, will
he comparatively small. 1t vii be about
one-tenth OF per cent upon the amount Of
revenue collected last year, or say, at q lib
eral estimate, Sl50CC0 AS an economic
move therefore, 1t would scarcely have been
suggested An official OF the department
said Today that the saving would not
amount to much, in fact, but the reduction
bad TO be made in obedience TO a camor
Wherever a $3.50 collector is discharged, q
81 W0 deputy would have to be appointed
In addition TO this saving there would be
few hundred dollars difference in the rent
paid 1t would be difficult TO make a saving
of $500 for each district abolished Sew
eral Congressman are already IN the city to
see about it Each has his particular Col
lectors whom he thinks should be RET aimed
The Secretary holds, however, that no tavors
can be shown that the reduction must be
made entirely upon business basis

A CONGRESSIONAL BON MOT.

Whatever hard things we may say
about Congress, we have to confess in
our just moments that it differs from
the poor i'm this world i'm one respect
we cannot always have it with us.
Congress has risen for good, contrary
to widespread opinion that the late
body was incapable of rising, and left
us only the precious legacy of its
records-precious, but disappointing
to the historian, for some Of its best
mots are not in the Congressional
Globe. During the last days aWest-
ern member of the House, indicating
himself upon the floor, struck Hen
ry Clay attitude, and cried out, with
all the fervor of original conviction,
"Sir, I'd rather be right than be Pres
ident." 'Don't worry yourself about
that" shouted another member across
the aisle; "you'll never be either."-

EVERY MAN HIS OWN BOSS.
How to Promote Personal Power-A
New Radical Reformer

'eThere is m provision In the Divine econ
or,y for ,nlitical bosses!'
With bang Of his list, and In the voice OF o
man who hail made up his mind on the subject,
Rev James Chambers, OF Calvary Preebyteri-
an Church, Harlem, recently opeced his ser
mon with this announcement. He was right.
The only boss authorized by the Book Is men

Commonly, the better side Of men is subject
to the disposi ion Of the worse side Bad pas
sions, bad humors, mean jealousies ami base
revenges are all b sses. One OF the worst OF
bosses is bile. What Is most depressing In
philns pphicai or theological thought is due to
IL. Old General Debility is another tyrannicsi
boss. He lashes men who are naturally good
until they become unIaturally lad or miser-
ably weak.
Concerning his deliverance frem this bond
age, rev. =. p. Lewis, pastor OF the Eighth
Street Baptist church, st. Louis, Mo: writes ;

The Empress Josephine had COG, 900 francs for

sufficient, and her debts Increased in an appafl-

her husband. she could never submit to either
order or etiquette in her private life. She rose
ut o'clock Her toilet consumed much time.
and she lavshed unwearied efforts on the pre-
seryation and establishment of her person. She
changed her linen three times q day, and never
wore any stockings that were not new Huge
baskets were brought to her containing different
dresses, shawls and hats. From these She select
ed her costume for the day. She possessed be-
tween 500 and 400 shawls. and. always wore one
In the morning, which she draped about her
shoulders with unequaled grace. She pur-
chased all that were brought to her. no matter
at what price, The evening toilet was as care
full as that Of the morning; then she appeared
with flowers pearls or precious stones In her
hair. The smallest assembly was always an oc-
casion for her TO order new costume, In spite
OF the boards OF dresses In the various palaces.

A Mean Trick.

A Mean Trick.
From the Detroit Free Press
A man who probably hailed from BufEAlo
played powerful mean trick on Detroit bri-
DIAL couple at Niagara Falls the other evening.
They went to hotel and registered, had sup
per, and then started out for q night view of the
mighty roarer. They had not gone far when q
man called to them and said:
''Have you just been married."

eyes, SIR"
'Well, want to say word to you. don't
want any ducky-deary nonsense around my
mouse: want no popsy-wOpsy business on the
Verandas. want no squeezing hands on the
balconies r feeding each other at the table"
The groom let his arm fall from his brides
waist in slow and painful manner, and the
stranger continued:
1.-THE first time you call her peaches and cream
or she calls you her darling out you go!"
"Y-yes, SIR"
'tShe's no sweeter than ten thousand other
girls, and you are no more of darling than
am, and won't stand lovesick nonsense"
He walked away with that, and people at the
Falls who knew the bridal couple were amazed
to hear them address each other as Mr. and Mrs.,
and to see what precautions they took to pre-
vent touching hands or betraying any symptoms
OF love. They put in two wretched days. and 1t
was only as they were upon the point of leaving
that they discovered how base villain had
duped them.
