What Its Maintenance Costs the Country
in Connection with the President.

What Its Maintenance Costs the Country
in Connection with the President.
Most people believe that the $4,000
a year which the President gets as his
salary is the sum total. This is mis-.
take. The estimate of the amount
which Congress is to appropriate this
year lies before us, open at the page
relating to the President We see that
S36,084 is asked for him, in addition to
his salary of $4,000, to pay the
salaries of his subordinates and clerks.
His private secretary is paid $3,250,
his assistant private secretary S2,250,
his stenographer S1,S00, five messen-
gers each 3 POO, a steward, 81, 800, two
door-keepers who each get 81, POO, four
other clerks at good salaries, one tele-
graph operator, two ushers getting
$1,000 and 81, 400, q night usher getting
ST., 200, a Waterman who gets 5000, and
man to take care of fires who receives
1864 year. In addition to this there
is set down $4,000 for incidental ex-
penses, such as stationery, carpets and
the care of the Presidents stables.
And further on, under another heading,
there is a demand for nearly $4,000
more. OF this $4,000 is for repairs
and furnishing the White House, 80, 500
for fuel, SO, is for the green house,
and S15, 900 is for gas, matches and the
stables. The White House, all told,
costs the country, in connection with
the President, considerably over $780,

LADIES' COLLARS.


The Two Principal Varieties of the Ex-
tremely High Article.
There are two varieties of the very
nigh collar; one is known as the dog
collar, which is usually of velvet, while,
the other of linen, percale or pique is
known as the curate. The curates are
most desirable in white and the dog
collars in black, Either may reach to
the ears, and, if you can endsre it, you
will be blessed among your kind.
These high collars are a boon to high
throated women who have had to muffie
up in lace or muslin scarfs, but they
are any thing but becoming to persons
with short, thick throats, lovely and
white it may be, but very certainly in
tended for q turnover collar. Now,
for the sake of the rest of the world,
why will not these women wear the be-
coming? Why will they not boqueath
the high pique collar, with its narrow
lawn tie, to those whom it suitsp
The velvet collar can be graded to fit
the wearer, and medium-sihed velvet

adapts itself to nearly all throats and
styles of beauty.

higher, highest; she may use one button
or two; she may permit the chemsette
to show and have small pearl-headed
pin to keep the tape tie in place. If
becoming, she may have all this--in-
deed, it has been said that one young
woman has worn three buttons in her
collar, but this almost passes belief.
In buying your collar be sure that it
is neither too tight nor too loose; a
loose collar will rub the neck and cause
the buttons to leave imprints, while q
tight one is simply a torture.-Butter-

a Very Pretty Story.

Nearly forty years ago prominent
merchant of this city began commercial
life as pedler from house to house
with pack of goods. His wife, a true
helpmeet, said to him: II propose to
lay aside dollar every day, and then,
in case OF misfortune, we will have the
money to fall back upon" Faithfully
she adhered to her determination.
though often at the cost of much self.
sacrifice. Her husbands business grew
and prospered, and the dollar day was
easily put by. The steady additions to
principal and interest swelled the sum
total until, by careful outstanding, it
had become competency. Financial
reverses met the merchant, and then
both his wife's fidelity and her pru-
dence became manifest. When he
knew not whittier to turn his wife
placed at his disposal the handsome re-
suit of her nearly forty years of savings,
and he was enabled to retrieve mis-
losses and stem the tide of disaster. -

How to Hang Thermometers.

For the exact meteorological observa'
tons the instrument should be placed
so high as to be entirely removed from
any influences caused by the reflex of
the sun as we'll as the wind from the
surrounding objects. For ordinary OBJ
servations the instrument may be loca-

cessible TO air and current from all
sides. Even then there will be differ
ences in first-class instruments. The
great variations between the thermom-
eters of the signal service and those of
opticians are simply due to the differ
ences in attitudes. These variations
are greater in hot weather, when they
reach sometimes four or five degrees,
because the heat is reflected from the
sidewalks and houses upon the very
sensitive mercury. while in the clouds,

A @ SeaIped.

During noon hour yesterday a number
OF youthful schoolboys were indulging in
rough and v%ariegated sport near the
schoolhouse when one OF their number, an
Italian boy named Joe Sera. received a
frightful looking scalp wound. from which
the blood flowed freely over his head and
face and down his neck. just how the 40.
cident occurred we are unable TO say, ex.
cept tina. the injured boy was struck with
a sharp stick. The wound extended from
near the center of his forehead to almost
the rear OF his head, and quite a portion
OF the Uranium was laid bare. The little
fellow was taken to DR.. Williams Office by
some OF his comrades. While the doctor
examined the wound and sewed il the
little fellow sat upright In a chair and
held q bowl OF water in his lap sod talked
as though the injury was of a very trivia
character. Such an exhibition OF pluck,
the doctor says, is seldom seen. 1t ii
hoped the injury will not prove serious.

SAN FRANoIsco. March 3I.-The habeas
corpus case which was argued yesterday
in the United States Circuit Court on the
petition of Thomas Bald win, asking for his
release from the county Jail at Sacramento,
where he is now In the custody OF a United
States Marshal on the charge OF conspiring
to drive the Chinese out of Nicholaus, Sut.
ter q ", was decided to-day. The petit
toner claimed that the United States
Commissioner OF the Circuit Court had no
Jurisdiction to issue o warrant Of arrest or
to commit him to Jail for the offense
alleged in the complaint. Judge Sawyer
held that the Federal authorities have
Jurisdiction in the matter. He, therefore,
ordered tho writ dismissed, and the petit
tioner was remanded into custody. Judge
Sawyer stated that he gave the decision
against the petitioner in order that the
case might be carried to the United States
Supreme Court, as the point involved was
too important to be decided by q subor-
dinate court.
The Court in its decision says that the
charge against the petitioner is apparently
founded on Section 5519 of the Revised
Statutes of the United States, which i'm
poses a heavy penalty on persons engaged
in conspiring to deprive any person or
class of persons Of equal protection of the
laws. The specific question will be one OF
vast consequence TO the entire Chinese
population of the United States. and OF
the utmost importance to the peace and
good order OF society throughout the en-.
tire Pacific Coast. 1t is OF international
consequence, involving the honor and good
faith OF the United States. and possibly
the question of peace or war. II this Sec
ton OF the statute is valid as TO the Chi.
nese residing in the United States and en-
braces the acts set forth In the. petition,
and returns then to the acts of
all public meetings throughout the land

other coersive means. no matter in what
form or through what channels applied,
are criminal, then all those participating
in them must be subject to the very severe
penalties pronounced by the statute.
