Hiram Hay, of Hayville, recently made trip to the Pacific Coast. In describing his experiences, he said "The only thing that disappointed me was the way my old watch cut up. All the way out it kept gainin' time and all the way back it kept losin'. Wonderful, wasn't it?"-Jecelsers' Weekly

to be 322147.S5. Adding together
the disbursements for ali purposes,
except payment of debt falling due,
we find the amount 10 be S1,469,-
67427 Deducting then the former
sum, which may be called current
receipts, from the latter, which may
be called current disbursements, we
get the same balance as above, name
". S147.52642. This is simply
another way Of arriving at the same
result.
We are not enamored of debt at
any time, especially when it is in
creasing. We believe it, however, to
be a well settled principle of public
policy, that the borrowing of money
by governments, when iudiciously
done, for proper purposes, and with
due regard to the resources and pro
bable future development Of the
country, is not only justifable, but
often eminently wise. Our present
debt is not very large in proportion
to annual income and the capabilities
Of these islands. In view of the un-
usually large amount which has been
expended for useful public works
and permanent improvements, to say
nothing Of more or less dead horse"
from former administrations, we do
uottconsider an increase Of less than
one hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars il the national Indebtedness
within the past year, to be any mat
ter for alarm or dissatisfaction.
The receipt Of nearly a million and
a third dollars in one year from cur
rent sources, exclusive of loans, is
very satisfactory and hopeful. The
general popular confidence in the
stability of affairs, and in the na-
tional solvency and good faith, which
is manifested by the rapid increase
Of the Postal Savings business, is
equally encouraging.
Our space does not admit of any
lengthy analysis Of the figures Of the
report. We note, in closing, only
the following: The total amount Of
the appropriations Of all kinds, in
cluding conditional, for the biennial
period, was S3,397,13L93. Of this.
$4,000 was for debt falling due, and
S243, 600 for interest on public debt,
and commissions and expenses con
nected with paying the same. The
half Of the above would be $685.
$685.. The amount actually dis
bursed in the first half Of the period
Is, as above stated. S1476,574.27, or a
little less than eighty-seYen per cent.
Of the same.

and most injurious one to bring
against the present Constitution and
its authors. It is a charge which
has been continually harped upon
by the verminous portion Of the
native press, for the vicious object
Of exciting the hatred Of the native
against the foreigner. As this false
and malignant allegation has at last
come to the light in English dress.
We propose to treat It as it deserves.

and his advisers. So much for the

Again, no part Of any franchise
has been taken away from any Ha-

now possesses all the rights Of fran

THE GASOLINE EXPLOSION.

! Conclusion of the Inquest on Eugene
ZoetI-The Jury Find Want of Due
Care in Handling the Explosive
The inquest into the death of Eugene
Zoetl, who with two Chinese was fatally
injured in the Beaver Saloon explosion
on February llth, which began on the
following day and has been continued
from time to time, was concluded on
terday. Mr.. H. J. Nolte, proprietor of
the restaurant above named, added his
testimony to that taken previously, when
the jury after deliberation rendered the
following verdict:
''That Eugene Zoetl came to his death
| on February 18th, 1888, through burn
ing, the burning having been caused by
the explosion OF escaped gasoline at the
| Beaver Saloon on February 11th, 1899.
They are moreover OF opinion that the
cause which led to the explosion was
lack OF due care in the handling of so
dangerous an explosive -

THE r BIRD.

Most merchants want their clerks to
get down to their work as early as posi-
ole, but that is not The kind of business
man old Tennyson, of Austin, is. He
sleeps in his store, and as business is not
very brisk, he does not care to be annoy ed
by his clerks coming to the store too
early0 A few mornings ago he was
disturbed by one of his clarkes coming to
the store at half-past seven.
"What do you mean by getting down
to the store this hour of the morning?
Why are you no4 in your bed and asleep p
said the old man, angrily, as he opened
the store door in his n%ightgown.
81 am very sorry" said the clerk,
that 1 came down so early, but the truth
is I was at a ball last night, and it was so
early when [ left that l thought I would
not go to bed at all"
"That's a poor excuse, sir. Hereafter
you must get here later than this or I'll
discharge you. II one ball is not enough
to keep you up until a late hour of the
morning, then go to two balls, so you will
not get here too early again
"Queer old %coon," muttered the clerk,
as he ~strolled off until it got late enough
to suit his principal. Business, we may
remark incidentally, once more, is a little
slow in Austin just now.-TeGaS SYtingS.

A SPIN AROUND THE WORLD.

Nellie Bly,, a pIucky young lady re-
porter OF the New York World, will try
to make the journey around the world in
seventy-fve days. She left New York
Nov. 4. She expects to report at the
home office, if nothing happens, Jan. 81.
The object of the trip is to see just how
long it will take to go around the world,
with all the improvements of modern
travel, twin screws. compound expansion
engines and improved furnaces. In this
view of the case, her trip will be a very
interest sting one.
She will cover a journey Of 10000
miles, going first to Europe and returning
by way of San Francisco. The wide
Southern dip which must be made, skirt
ing Asia instead of going across it, neces-
sarily use the journey to be some days
longer. When Russia completes that
railway across Siberia, the trip around the
world can be made without stopping to
draw a long breath. 1t will be something
like being shot out of a cannon, to girdle
the globe by the sho test route.
The best wishes of her fellow journal
lists everywhere will accompany the brave
young roman Besides her newspaper
achievements, she is t. be commended
above almost all other young women for
n thing-she has perfect health.

PORTALA'S Q

The Dolores Mission, where the can
gelus" was rung, is at San Francisco, one
of the nine Franciscan missions estab-
lished among the Indians in California
through the devoted zeal of Father Juni-
pero Sierra and his coadjustors. Capt.
Gaspar de Pontala, or Portala, the first
Governor of Lower California, was the
military N 4ndant of the company
sent cut from Mexico by Galvez, in 1850,
to aid in this design, and though the
Dolores was not actually founded until
October 8, 1776, yet in searching for the
reported blight in the seacoast at Monterey,
the party lost their way, wandered north,
and, discovering the Bay of San Francisco,
noted it for a future mission site especi-
ally pointed out by their patron saint,
Francis. At the various hating places
crosses were set up, and, while it seems
very improbable that the one planted here
by Portala in 1899 is in actual existence
to-day, yet the Lone Mountain Cross de-
scribed by Mr.. Roadway is it's legitimate
successor, and rightfully bears Portala's
name.-American Notes and Queries.
