A TREASURY DEFICIENCY.
Secretary Fosters Juggling Methods Co..
Ing to Light.


Secretary Fosters etailcd statement
of the condition Of the treasury is an
other affair of bookkeeping. Out OF the
mazes of its figures, however. we md
result strangely at odds with his own
claim of surplus.
Mr.. Foster states that his available
cash revenue for the current fiscal year
will be S46G. $50, and he estimates
that his expenditures will be S4G4,61l,-
$50, leaving a surplus at the end OF the
wear of s., DOC, 900. lie also asserts that
he has about SCI. 600. 600 on hand, in ad-
dition to the 500, 900, 900 gold reserve.
Mr.. Foster knows that this sum Is not
available. 1t is as genuine, however,
Is his prospective s2.00o,00) surplus.
But he fails to count in his expendi-
lures the liabilities owing and not
paid, the appropriations for which he
has held up. The amount of these is
sos, 474, 900, while Ss2, 900 has been
"authorized" but not appropriated Tor.
On his own showing. therefore. MIR.
Foster has in fact nothing on hand in
excess of the amount Of debts due and
unpaid that is available for paying
de hts. There is, on his own statement,
dc efficiency of at least $50, 900, 900 to BIZ
anticipated by the end OF the fisca
year The payments due on river ant
harbor improvements alone would con
su me all Mr.. Fosters alleged balance
except the gold reserve.
Juggling with the books will cove
up deficiencies for awhile, but there
will always come time when angr,
creditors demand cash instead OF book
keeping. and to that time the republic
an administration and the billion dol
lar congress have about brought tn

IHE PRESIDENTS CUNNING.


Takes n Out of Gresham.
In the appointment of Judge jack
son 10 succeed the late Justice Lamar
on the bench of the United States SUI
prene court President Harrison has
performed another Of the occasional
nets which should make his admins
tration creditable on the pages OF ms
tory. lie has named the man as the
one democratic jurist ut the south
whose appointment would be con-
firmed by the present republican
senate. IL he had appointed partisan
republican the democrats in the senate
would have been justified in prevent
Ing the confirmation Of the appointee.
The republican politicians in and out
Of congress do not like the presidents
action. But the people will approve 1t.

dent, March 4. 1888, there were but Few

TWO GRAVES TO HOLD her BODY.
Mrs. Hslpin's Was the Largest Coffin
Ever Buried In Calvary Cemetery.
From the Heto York Sun.


From the Neto York Sun.
The largest coffin that ever entered Cal
vary cemetery was taken there yesterday.
1t was Of 50 unusual size that two graves
had to be purchased TO furnish grave of
sufficient width TO hold it. The body was
that of Mrs. Julia Halpin OF S01 East
Eleventh street. At ths time Of her death,
which occurred on Saturday, Mrs. Halpin
was So years old. She had lived in the
neighborhood Of First avenue and Eleventh
street for over twenty years. About eight
years ago she began to grow exceedingly
stout, and although not confined to her bed,
she seldom left her room. Her weight was
estimated at 400 pounds.
In spite of this feshiness Mrs. Halpin was
otherwise physically healthy and cheerful.
Most OF her time she spent In sewing and
knitting. Two weeks ago she was taken
with pneumonia, which was the immediate
cause Of her death. Undertaken Joseph T.
Hart says that hers was the largest body be
ever handled. 1t was necessary to build a
coffin to order. IL measured 5 feet 9 inches
in length, 35 inches in depth, and 80 inches
in width. The doorway OF tile house in
which the dead woman lay was too narrow
to permit of the passage of the coffin and the
sash Of double window on the ground floor
was removed and the body taken out that
way. Eight men were needed TO carry the
body down from the third floor. and they
we're obliged to rest on every landing, so
great was the exertlOn.
No hearse could be found large enough to
transport the box. It was taken to the
cemetery in the undertaker's wagon. Mrs.
Halpin leaves three sons aud two daughters,
none Of whom are OF unusual physical di-
meusions.
