his way to Chicago, where he will open

related recent interview he had with
President Cleveland. He met the Pres

"Mr. Cleveland said, 'Howdy do, Bill;
I'm glad to see you.'
"'I'm proud to be present at your in

"'Well, Bill, what can do for your

A Detailed Statement Prepared by
Second Auditor Ryland.

| A Detailed Statement Prepared by
Second Auditor Ryland.
Mr.. Josiah Ryland, second auditor Of
the State of Virginia, has for some time
past been kept busy in getting up de.
tailed statement as to the actual condi-
ton of the State debt
This report shows that according to
the records kept in the second auditors
offie total the amount outstanding on
September 80, 1892, in various bonds
&C., was $2O.32O, s35.47 in principal and
SO, 293 .256.18 in interest, making total
of $29, 614,091 65, less principal and inter
ests of bonds due the United States gov
eminent, $9971 1857, leaving a total OF
$2S. 6i6, 9729S.
The total amount of the principal of
the State debt surrendered by the bond
holdholders' committee was ST., 1858, 35s
2s, and on interest, $6,257 ,040 %, mak>
ing total of 1874, 1876 39S.5O.
| The total amount surrendered to the
commissioners of the sinking fund was,
ON principal 1886, 915.56, and on inter
esss, $171, 247 80, making a total of $43s,
| 1916.
This will leave outstanding at the
present time the following: On princi-
pal, 81, 1877, 695.96, and on interest, ST.
2s5, 1866.
The statement shows that about ST.
100000 of bonds with tax receivable
coupons are still outstanding, and of the
interest about $1,00O,OOO in past>due
coupons.
Mr.. Ryland is also having prepared a
careful estimate of the amount of the
debt as it actually stands on the books.
This statement is not quite complete,
but it has been carried out sufficiently
far to ascertain that errors aggregating
over 100000 have been entered into the
reports in some way, SO that the real
amount of the outstanding debt will be
that much less:
Of the outstanding interest very
large proportion consists of small ar
rearages which have been left over for
the last thirty years, and in most of the
cases the bonds themselves have been
disposed of. A comparatively small
amount of this interest will, therefore,
ever be called for. The estimate of the
committee of the Legislature, who draft
ed the debt bill, which was to the effect
that at least $1,GO0000 of the aggregate
of the debt, at that time supposed to be
outstanding, will be more than. verified.
Really the only amount yet to be ar
ranged for when the next Legislature
meets will be the tax-receivable bonds,
amounting to 81, 797. 695 96, and the past
due coupons of tie interest, amounting
to 1925, 1866. making a total of 49,
023, 412. 2.-Richnaond Times.

Women Dentists

Among the notable gatherings that
will assemble at Chicago this year will
be meeting of the Woman's Dental
Association of the United States This
association was organized a year ago by
the women dentists of Philadelphia and
now includes members in all the larger
cities of the country. The number of
women practicing dentistry in the
United Stotes is about 200, the most of
whom have entered the profession with
in the last ten years. Their. success
in this line of work has been so marked
that it is not improbable that another
decade will see their example followed
by large numbers of their sex.

Throu gh a Big Snow Drift.

Engineer VIM Boyd had an excit ing
experience with a snow-drift while COM
ing down the Blue Ridge Mountain the
other night. His engine, big ten
wheeler, headed the regular passenger
locomotive pulling the mail train. He
had worked through several snow-drifts
when he struck one about 10 feet high
and packed solid. He put on all the
steam possible, signaled to the engineer
behind that he was going through and
both pulled their throttles wide open.
In an instant the engineer and fireman
were buried in snow, the'cab was choked
up with it, lever, throttle, steam guage,
air. brake, pumps and furnace door
were hidden from sight, but these facts
caused no halt in the onward rush of the
train. The drift was $50 yards in length
but not so high as 10 feet all the way
through, tapering down to about 8 feet
toward the eastern end. When the train
entered the big drift she was making
almost forty miles an hour, and when it
emerged the speed had dwindled down
to about six miles an hour. When.clear
of the drift the train was sight to be-
hold, being covered with snow so COM
pletely that it's outlines were hardly dis
tinguishable against the white surround
ings. Engineer Boyd and the fireman
were nearly suffocated by the snow,
which closed in about them like a tight
fitting glove. The cab windows were
smashed in and Mr.. Boyd's head had
been slightly cut by the flying glass. A
gang of track-cleaners of the train were
brought into requisition on the double
quick, hurried forward to the engine
and in few minutes unearthed the en-
gineer and fireman, who had in the
meantime been hard at work tunneling
their way out from the inside. They
were both slightly disfigured and wet
and cold. 1t took twenty minutes to
clean out the engine, cab and tender of
the tons of snow, and the train proceed
ed on its way.

Here is little story for which every
reader may furnish his own moral. In

woman who earns her own living had

Worlds fair. A few weeks ago Q SEN
sational Boston newspaper started a
contest for free trips to the fair. The
young woman's friends thought they
would surprise her with one Of these
free trips They began buying che
newspaper coupons and sending them in
to be credited to her.
Some indiscreet friend let her know
what was going on. As ber friends were
spending 90 much money for her benefit
she felt bound in honor to assist. In the
end her $75 went into the pool, and in
thetotal over &40O were spent, but this
sum was not quite enough. The frea

Expensive Experiments.

1t cost the people of the United States
about $25, 900 in couple of hours the
other day to settle in the minds of the
officers of the ordnance bureau whether
some ar1nor plates made by the Carnegie
and Bethlehem steel works respectively
were as good as they ought to be. 1t
was found that they were, and what
that means can be imagined when one
Of the plates was II inches thick, weighed
8l4 tons, and was attacked by shells
weighing $50 pounds each, the last ones
fired from 10 inch gun at distance of
only $40 feet, striking it with the force
needed to move a mass of 81 900 tons, OF
$4,000, 600 pounds, through foot of
space. The projectile went through.
We take it that that did not surprise
even the experts, who are used to think
ing about those inconceivable masses
and velocities. But what did surprise
them was that the hole it made was
nearly as clean as if it had been drilled,
and that not crack appeared about iri
edges. Though this particular projec
tile was lost-having been DETECTED and
fallen into the Potomac-the other pro.
