The deficit for the fiscal year ending
June 80 next is computed by Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury Curtis at
s53, Q00, 900, and he reckons upon fur
ther deficit of S35, 900, 600 for the five
months from June 80 to November 30.
IT he is correct in his estimates, the
new congress, when it meets in Decem-
Der, will be confronted by an aggregate
deficit of $4,000, 900 in the seventeen
preceding months, or an average OF
over S., 600, 900 per month.

THERE are plenty of pedigreed horses
and pedigreed dogs in the country, and
now we are to have a race of pedigreed
cats. The recent cat show in New
York resulted in the exhibition of a
large number of feline beauties, and
awakened great interest in that city.
as we'll as in many others, and as a re-
suit there is to be formed national
association of cat raisers, which will
keep registers of the finest cats and
their descendants.

0reeham's Funeral.

| WARRINGTON, May 2S-WashinRt
was hardly prepared for the announce
ment of the death of Secretary Walter
@ Gresham, which occurred at such
late hour Monday night that it was
not known to the public until read in
the morning papers today, for although
the final termination of the serious i'll
ness had been forecast, there was no
general apprehension that the end
would come so soon. Flags were low
cred to haif-mast on all public build
ings and many business houses OFF,
cial business was for the time laid
aside by the higher officers of the gov
eminent, and the mem bers of all official
circles together with prominent people
In private life fastened to the Airing
ton hotel, where the Greshams have
made their home in this city to leave
their cards and messages Of coincidence.
The President and Mrs. Cleveland
called during the morning and were
! for half an hour with the bereaved
family. Afterward. the President and
several members of the cabinet held .
| conference at the White House to con-
slider the arrangements for the funeral
and later in the day the President is
sued a proclamation, paying a warm
tribute to the character of the secre-
tary of state.
1t was decided at noon that the body
of the dead secretary of state should
lie in state at the executive mansion
tomorrow from Q a. m, and will be
placed in the large east room. 1t will
remain there until the departure for
Chicago tomorrow. Bishop Hurst, of
Methodist Episcopal church, will con-
duct funeral services at 10 o'clock.
after which the remains will be es-
corted to the Baltimore and Ohio sta
ton by all the troops and marines sta
toned in this city and at Fort Meyer,
Gen. Thomas III. Ruger in command
The procession will form about noon
and proceed to the station. The special
funeral train will leave Immediately
and arrive in Chicago Thursday. The
ceremonies in that city will be held
Friday. 1t has not been decided in
what cemetery Secretary Gresham will
be buried nor where the services in
Chicago will be held.
The President and all members of
the cabinet will accompany the re-
mains to their last resting place. Sec
retaries Carlisle. Herbert, Lamont,
Smith Morton, Attorney-General Oh
ney, Postmaster-General Wilson and
Assistant Secretary of State Uhl will
act as honorary pail bearers at the fu-
neral, and the body bearers will be a
squad of marines from the marine bar
vacks in this city.

A New YORK man has been testing
the honesty of the people by dropping
in the streets and on the floors of the
big dry goods stores six ladies' purses,
each containing forty-two cents, key
and card with his name and address
thereon. Five Of the purses were re-
turned in less than twenty-four hours,
and in each case the finders were
women. This appears to demonstrate
chat lost purses in New York are like
ly TO be restored to the owners when
they do not contain more than forty
two cents and do not happen to be
picked up by men.

IMMIGRATION statistics were not G

IMMIGRATION statistics were not col
lected in this country previous to 1920,
and the figures before that date are
merely conjectural. Since 1920 there
have been over $4,000 600 immigrants
to this country from the old world.
There is no other record of such move
ment of peoples having taken place
in history. Whether considered with
regard to the numbers, with regard to
the shortness of the time, or the dis
lance traversed, this movement is
unique and unparalleled.

THE decision of the income tax case
serves to illustrate the tremendous
power of the supreme court. 1t can
undo the work of congress-, and by a
bare majority, as in this instance,
make law null and void. The au-
thority that il exercises is superior to
that of both the legislature and exc
cutive branches of the government.
There is no appeal from its decisions,
final and absolute, and all other agen-
cies in our political system are bound
by them.

The term lac of rupees, which APP
pears often in the papers of late in
relation to East Indian finances, means
100000 rupees. The equivalent of that
sum in American coin. however, is con-
stantly changing because of the fuc-
tuation in the price of silver, the rupee
being silver coin. Twenty-Five years
ago the rupee was worth about forty
eight cents, but at present its exchange
value is only about twenty-four cents

THE number thirteen will very like
ly be looked upon as having some sig
nificance of ill-luck. Thirteen only of
the enlisted men who competed for
commissions as second lieutenants

seems to be little chance for their
transfer from the ranks to the official
grade, as there are not vacancies

CURIOUS fact has been developed

there all sours in few hours, much
to the discomfort of the citizens. The

think, acts on the milk just as thunder

THE prince of Wales purposes start
