A BIG DEFICIT SURE.

The Government Will Run Behind
About $4O.OOO,OOO This Year.
WASHINGTON, April 22.-The decision
of the supreme court in the income tax
case necessitates rehearing of the esti-
mates of the government for the fiscal
year ending June 30, and from the last
data attainable, il is believed that the de-
felt for the year will amount to $780,
100000.
As has been the case for some years
the expenditure on account of pensions
is more than third of the entire expen-
ditures of the government, and several
times during the last two years the in
exorable acquisitions of the secretery of
the interior on pension account has
caused apprehension among the officials
that the time might come when they
could not be honored with the old time
promptness.
Already this month more than 81 ,OOO,-
900 has been paid to pensioners, and
since July LIST, nearly $f17,5Oo 900 has

Mrs. SIaYbrick.

There languishes in English Jail
cultivated woman whose guilt has never
been proved, whose woes have won the
sympathy of the legal profession in
Great Britain and the United States,
whose prolonged incarceration is due to
the proverbial stubbornness of British
law official who prefers to run the risk
Of subjecting an individual to unmerit-
ed pain rather than confess the fallibil-
ity of British tribunal. The case and
cause of Mrs. Maybrick are gaining
ground in England. They need to be con-
sidered and aided by her country men
and women. She was born in this coun-
try. Her family ties bind her to some
of the best families of New England
and the west. She is the great great
granddaughter of Rev. Benjamin Thurs
ton, Harvard, 1874, and of his wife,
Sarah Phillips, who was of the famous
family which did SO much for Andover,

tional institutions. Boston Congrega-

He said:
.'Look at that woman with a Dutch

There you go into ecstacies about the

OF course the owner of the note book

The I. q. continued:
Some time ago you made note bout
the aic est young man in town being a
dry goods clerk; do you know that the
sweetest girl in town is a stenographer,
and weighs about 100 pounds?"
DO you believe that perfect love cast

theory that true love breeds jealousy?"
do you prefer to be miserable because
you have lived beyond your income or
because you try to live within it?"

"Has the summer giri' learned yet

Not receiving satisfactory answers to
all his questions the 7. G. again began
commenting on the passersby.
He said: "Ihere go two people who
remind me of my idea of joke. He is
not a society man, though he goes out
occasionally to please her. He has a
good full dress-suit very little used, but
she has recently decided that he must
have a new one, for swell events and use
the other for ordinary affairs"

"Oh no, but little thing like that

taneously that we both felt cheered. Let
me whisper you something about her.

DENVER, April ga reception to
Rev. Myron w. Reed was given at the
Broadway theater last evening as a testi-

attendance and spirit of sincerity and

Ex-Governor Waite was the first
speaker, and he paid high compliment

Myron Reed said: "Of course, it is a
pleasure to me to know that through

lived together for eleven years and still
have a mutual regard for each other. I

NO NEW FAIR WILL.
Miss Margaret Craven's Visit to the Coast
Not Significant.


SAN FRANCISCO, April 21.-Miss Mar
garet Craven. one of the California girls
who have achieved success on the stage
in the east is on visit to her mother.
She arrived in this city direct from New
York. She left the metropolis in the
height of what had been represented as a
very successful season.
The question naturally uppermost in
the minds of the publ is "Has her CON-
ing any connection with the pending
Fair case?"
A visit to the Craven residence did not
wholly clear up the matter. Miss Craven
was not accessible.
Mrs Craven says that her daughter had
brought no new Fair will from the east
and that the contest over the estate of the
late James G. Fair had nothing whatever
to do with Miss Brides visit to the
coast.
Mrs. Craven is the school teacher who
recently produced Geographic will
purporting to have been made by the
late millionaire and which will be the
basis OF contention in the courts.

The Police Board Gracefully Reconsiders
Its Action.

At their Saturday evening meeting, the
board of police commissioners decided,
in view of the numerous petitions on the
subject to continue Mrs. l. Z. Thorpe as
police matron.

nate and have at all times been the
friends of the poor. Mr.. Bonebrake him
sums of over three hundred dollars to
alleviate suffering and distress.
After due elaboration and in consider
alton of the popular demand for such
action Mrs. Thorpe has been retained in
her position. The present police board
is the best that has ever existed in this
city and it is entirely in the interest of
taxpayers that reductions in expenses are
made. Having ascertained Nat tax
payers and citizens generally really de-
sire Mrs. Thorpe's retention the board
cheerfully restores her to her post
One of the petitions to retain her was
circulated by "Becky Sharp of the
JOURNAL and was signed by nearly fifty
of the most prominent ladies in the city.

To the Honorable P. 1. Bonebrake, F. S. Nc
Cabe and c. K. Holiday, Jr.. Board of z OIice
Commissioners for the city of Topeka:
GENTLEMEN:-We, the undersigned
ladies residing in the city of Cop eka, re-
spectfully petition your honorable body
to restore and re-establish the office of

respectfully suggest that under

considerations Of humanity are ignored
in the treatment of prisoners, particular
ly female prisoners. We believe that
punishment should always be tempered
with efforts looking to reformation, and
that the best method should l-e adopted
| to secure such results We therefore
| sincerely urge the restoratis OF the
| office named. And in view of he SPLEEN

while acting in the capacity named, COW
ering a period of nearly two years,
demonstrating that she is eminently fitted
for such position by being kind hearted,

NEEDS NO GREAT PAPER.

Gov. AltgeId Believes the Silver Move
ment VIII Succeed Without One
SPRINGFIELD ILL.,, April 22.-Governor
Altgeld in an interview this evening, re-
plying to a question whether the change
in ownership and policy of the Chicago
Times Herald would be likely to injure
the silver cause, said he did not think
such would be the case. The governor
thought the silver movement was daily
becoming more powerful, even with
all the great papers against 1t
The governor thinks there will be an
other paper started in Chicago, which he
considers the best field in America for
that purpose. He said, however, he had
no intention of starting a paper himself,
as had been rumOred, adding: "As it
takes all the money | can borrow to pay
my taxes; besides l have no use on earth
for paper, as there is nothing l want"
The silver movement the governor
thought, needed no great daily paper. He
was of the opinion that in order to sue
coed any new paper started in Chicago
will have to favor free coinage of gold
and silver, but he knew of no movement
now on foot to start such paper.
Referring to the formation Saturday
of the So called Honest Money league
the governor said: "They are apparent
ly starting under false colors and evince
an intention to deceive, for they know,
or ought to know. that the money system
they advocate is the most dishonest an d
damnable ever invented, because it

The governor did not think the asso-
citation would be able to accomplish

NEW YORK, April 22-Mr. George
Gould has finally tired of his Lakewood
residence, and will return to New York
if he can secure a reduction of the as
sessment of $1O,OOO,OOO on the Gould es-
tate.
Mr.. Gould said the story that ex-Judge
Dillon had called upon Mayor Strong or
the tax commissioners to secure a COM
promise was a mistake. But the officials
said later that ex-Judge Dillon did hold
conference with Mr.. Strong on
the subject. and asked that the
assessment be reduced to $6,000,0UO

an equitable basis" said Tax Commits

come together some time or other. His
figure, $6,OOO,O0O, is too low. we think,
and perhaps our figure, $1O,0OO,OO0. is a
trltle too high"
Mr.. Gould wants to return for social
reasons, and to secure proper educational
facilities for his children.

While every one knew he had been shot

the procession moved on to the temple.
when he stepped from his chair to
mount the few steps before the house it
was first noticed that blood was gushing
from hole in his cheek. There was at
once great excitement His two physi-

was made as comforta BILE as possible on a

most careful treatment the burns would
not heal, and skin grating was resorted
to.
The cuticle that has been placed on
the boy has been taken from over 300
