JOHN F. M1LHOLLAND. land, the newest factor ill the muddle and president of one of the committees, both of which, by the way, claim to be regular. " Mir. Milholland is only about 34 years old, but he has managed to crowd into the last decade of his life an experience such as few men twice his age can look back upon. He is Q New Yorker and was born in Essex county, ill the heart of the Adirondacks. When he was 8 years old, his fathers house was de- stroyed by fire, and his mother and eld est sister were burned to death, the boy himself narrowly escaping tho same hor- rible fate. When he was 9years old, his father took him to Ireland, and for two years he attended school ill that country and England. The rest of his education he received in the Paterson and Albany high schools and the New York univer- sity.
 For a number of years young Milhol- land had contributed to the local press. An opportunity presented itself to buy country paper-the Ticonderoga Sen- tinel-and he became its editor and pro- prietor. In 19 months he doubled its size, circulation and advertising patron age and sold it for three times what he paid for it.
 Then he went to New York city and secured employment as q reporter on the New York Tribune, where he was soon regarded as one of the best posted writ CTS in New York on local, state and na- tional politics. He made valuable ac- quaintanceships among the Republican leaders and formed warm friendship for Senator Platt which has endured the tests of many years. On the creation of the United States immigration bureau at the port of New York MT. Milholland was appointed chief of the inspectors charged with the enforcement of the contract labor law and got himself into a good deal of hot water with some of those interested in evading the restric- tions of that act. He was Q delegate to the Republican national convention in 1899 and had charge of the labor depart ment of tho Republican national com. mittee during the subsequent caYs,uai0s'

The money is given by the municipal authorities of Paris and the distance is five miles. Wheeler Zimmerman and other Americans will en ter the contest.

RoffaIo's Attempt to Secure Canadians to

 Some of the Western league teams have been offering few suggestions lately that all the talent in baseball playing is not pos sessed by the National league clubs The Sioux City team especially has put in a few knockdown arguments on that point. The Toledos, Kansas Citys, Milwaukees and De- troits also made few points, while the Grand Rapids recruits scared 10 years from Uncle Anson's life, which leaves him only 45 or 46.
 That man Hart, who does most of the "twirling" for the Sioux Citys, has carried consternation through the National leagues western circuit. The Louisvilles and Pitts burgs went down before his delivery. In Cincinnati an unexpected triple play by Smith, Latham and McPhee on April [, the first of the season. saved the Cincnnatis from defeat at the hands of the Milwaukees.

HER HAT ONsSTRAIGHT.

Seamless French waists are the correct thing for those who are slim enough to wear them.
 Some of the latest bonnets have immense ly wide strings edged with lace, which form a scarf under the chin.
 With the revival of checks comes the old fashioned lOuisiue silks, so durable and soft for summer dresses.
 New batistes come in tinted and white grounds spotted with small flowers and striped in open patterns like drawn work.
 One of Worth's fancies is the use of fou- lard silk, with white ground and colored figures, in combination with black crepon.
 The most fashionable ribbons are moire antique, with a satin stripe down the cen ter, and plain moire ribbons spangled with jet sequins in wavy lines.
 Velvets are to continue in favor through the seascN, especially for trimmings, and dozens of yards of velvet ribbons are used on challie, foulard and china silk dresses.
 A new and beautiful aterial for trim ming dresses is satin muslin. The surface is glossy likk satin, and the texture is light and almost as transparent as india muslin.
 Wide ribbed pique is one of the fabrics for cotton gowns. They come in pale colors as we'll as white and are made mp by Paris dressmakers in very fanciful styles, trim med very elaborately with lace and ribbon.

Kts Depleted Condition Source of Anx-
iety to Treasury OmcfaIs.
WASHINGTON, May 2s.-The present
depleted candition of the treasury,
and the discouraging outlook for the
future are a source of considerable
anxiety to the officials of the treasury
department.. Already the gold re-
serve which had been brought up by
the last bond issue to S107, 800, s42, has
been reduced by expectations since
March 10, to less than $50, 900, 600,
with no indications that the foreign
demand will cease until it has reached
a much lower point. With the ex-
ception of the gold reserve, and
counting every availa bic dollar in the
vaults in the treasury, the govern
ment has less than $50, 900, 900 with
which to meet its obligations.
Nor does the future show any signs
of en- couragement- On the con trary,
the probable deficit for the month of
May is likely to be increased by S15,-
600, 900 during the two succeeding
months The closest calculation that
can now be made shows that the de-
felt for the year ending June 80 will
be approximately $74, 500, 900.
The exact amount of receipts and
expenditures for the present month
and for the fiscal year to date are:
Receipts for month, $40, 459, SSS; re-
ceipts for fiscal year to date, 1886, $780,
637. Expenditures for month to date,
$26, 271, 300; expenditures for fs cal
year to date, 1897, 52s, 1876.

WASHING AWAY.
Missouri River Rises Six Feet
in 48 Hours.
East AtchisOn About to Fall
Into the River.
CUTS 200 FEET AWAY.
Houses and Store Buildings
Being Rapidly Moved.

ATcHIsoy. Kan. May 2S.-During
the fOrty-eight hours ending at g
o'clock last evening the Missouri river
has risen nearly six feet at this point.
The raise was rather sudden and
great damage is being done TO proper
ty in the vicinity of East Atchison-
During the past twelve hours the
stream has cut away nearly 200 feet
Of adjoining land near that town, and
the work of destruction continues.
The town of East Atchison has
been protected heretofore by a strip
Of land known as the point" and
which extended for several yards
into the river. This point has been
cut away, however, and the main cur
rent of the stream strikes the town
almost directly from the north. 1t
viii probably be only a question of a
few hours until the current has full
sway at East AtchisOn from this direc-
ton, and then no power on earth can
save the place from being swept
away Great excite ment prevails
there, and great many persons have
moved to this side of the river for
safety.
Store buildings and houses which
stood in the north end of the village
are being torn down or moved by
their owners. Probab bly, many as a
dozen buildings were moved yes
terday, and the work was continued
throughout he night Laborers and
teams from this city as well as from
the country surrounding East Atchi-
son have been sent there to assist the
citizens in removing their houses.
just east of Atchison there are
three lines of railroad paralleling
czech other-the Rock, Island, Santa
Fe and Hannibal and St Joseph The
river has encroached to within less
than thirty feet of the trucks of these
railways, and it is proba bic that
trains will be compelled to stop pass
ing over them Several days ago a
large force of men were put
to work by the railroads rip rapping
the bank in an effort to stay the en-
croachments- This was discontinued
Saturday for the reason that no bank
could be secured to continue the rip
rapping and also that the stream
washed it out almost as fast as it was
placed there. 1t is thought nothing
can be done now to prevent the cut
ting, and citizens are either pre- pairing
to leave the place or else standing
idly by watching the river on its mis-
sion of destruction
