Notes.



Secretary Thomas is to-day selecting the
new furniture necessary for the equipment
of the rooms in which the next session OF
the legislature will convene December rs.
The secretary two years ago had $24, 200
at his disposal for meeting the expenses
of the legislature, but for the coming SEES
sion he has been allowed by congress the
sum of $4,000, the 81, $50 additional be-
ing necessary for the purchase OF new
furniture, the old furniture having been
destroyed by fire. This sum is amply
sufficient to meet all financial demands
that can possibly be made by the 3Oth
