MAUD's BUTTER BILL.
SIr. Gratebar's Surprise, Concerning Which
 It Were Well to Be Warned.

 It Were Well to Re Warned.
 ''The most remarkable bill 1 ever re- ceived came in today" said MT. Crate bar. "It was from my oldest daughter, Maud Maud doesn't eat butter, and never did. We used to try to get her to eat it, but she never would, and we stopped trying. am quite sure that there could be no more induleent father than myself, but at the same time am quite willing to admit that it had some times occurred to me that if Maud wouldn t eat butter, why, it was just so much net saving in the household ex- penses, and so was all the more sur prised-startled as one might say when l received bill, of which the fol- lowing is copy:
 NEW YORK, Oct 3l, 1895 W. Gratebsr, Esq.
 To Maud Gratebar, Dr. Terms cash.
 For IS years butter supply, at $12 per an mum, $2l6
 ''I don't know where Maud got the figures, but I suppose that she and her mother must have figured on the family butter bills enough to reach approxl- mately the annual cost per head. The real joke about this bill, however, is that it will have to be paid You would have paid for the butter if had eaten it as went along, wouldn't you?' asks Maud, to which say Certainly. Then why shouldn't you pay for it now?' says Maud. This reasoning is of course irresistible and if it were not it is re-enforced by the fact that, with winter approaching, Maud needs a whole lot of new things, and so there is nothing for me to do but to draw a check for the amount.
 But we must get Maud to begin eat ing butter or must establish butter sinking fund, for Maud's net bill might come in at time when I was not so well prepared to meet it. "-New York Sun.

Simultaneous with Pingree's statement of his plan for the employ ment of conviets comes the launching of his presidential boom ill Detroit pa- per. Recent events showing Pingree's s popularity indicate that Pingree as a presidential possibility is not so much of joke after all.
 All of which shows what a new kind of brain may do in country where there is no law against fecundity of ideas. Chicago Times Herald.

Rehearing OF Income Jax Cases
Transfer OF 1rOOps-Increase
OF Mexican Coffee.

Washington, April 23.-The United
States supreme court to-day, through
Chief Justice Fuller, made the following
order regarding petitions for rehearing
of the income tax question: "The con-
sideration of the two petitions for re-
hearing is reserved until Monday, May
6, when full bench is expected, and in
that event two counsel on side will be
heard at that time" Although the order
does not explicitly SO state, it n cans that
argument will be heard, not on the mer
its of the income tax question itself, but
on the question whether or not there
shall bel a rehearing of the suits heretofore
decided. Justice Jackson is expected to
return to his seat by the date named.
TRANSFER OF TROOPS.
Secretary Lamont has ordered four
troops of the 1st cavalry selected by the
regiment commander and accompanied by
Colonel Arnold and Major Viele, now at
Fort Grant, Ariz., to exchange places with
four troops of the 7th cavalry, accom-
panied by Colonel Sumner and Major
Baldwin, now at Fort Riley, Kas. The
exchange is to give the 1st cavalry a
chance to avail itself of the advantages of
the cavalry school at Fort Riley.
Lieutenant Colonel Carpenter, of the
Seventh, will remain at Fort Riley as
cavalry inspector.
INCREASE OF MEXICAN COFFEE GROWING.
The official Mexican trade returns for

coffee were $5,990,OOO, as against $2,420,-
600 in the corresponding three months in
1898. This indicates clearly that coffe
growing in Mexico is undergoing grea
development.

RESERVOIR BUILDING.
Thatcher-ten. HOward's Big
scheme in California.

La Junta, Colo, Apri: 23.--Contracts
have been let by the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe Railroad company to build an
immense reservoir, across Timpas canon
at Thatcher station, 45 miles south of La
Junta. The Chase County Stone COM
pany of Cottonwood Falls, Kas., were the
successful bidders. The reservoir is to
be constructed after the design of the
immense dam now gong in at Boston
Mass, built of solid rock, blown out from
the spillways, with concrete wall through
the center. The object of the reservoir
is to secure water for the train service.
Water is now purchased from the city of
Trinidad and hauled daily in water cars
and tanks to Thatcher and pumped into
ths tank. The annual expense by the
present method is enormous. The work
of building the reservoir will bo under
the immediate direction of Resident En-
gineer j. NJ. Mead, of Pueblo.
GEN. HowARD's PURCHASE.
San Bernardino, Col.-The Victor Res
ervoir company has sold its property to

Victor Reservoir site and made a favor
able report, which resulted in the sale. 1t
is proposed that the reservoir will con-
tain, when full, 127,721 100000 standard
gallons of water, sufficient to irrigate
100000 acres of land, supplying one
inch of water under four inch pressure
to five acres of land.
This reservoir site lies near Victor,
CAL, on the north side of the mountains
The new company proposes to begin
construction of dam that will impound
a lake of water nine miles long and five
miles wide, and will be fed by the Mojave
river.
