Boston, Jan. 6.-The Massachusetts

interesting experiment. The board has
found In building macadamlzed roads

the cost is greatly reduced. There be-

that the SAND does not work W through

changer" Not long ago the countess
entertained some four hundred guests
at ball at Warwick castle. The
guests were attired in the costumes of
the period of Louis XIV. and XVI,
and the stately reception rooms of the
castle had been most harmoniously
decorated in the style of the same
period. Not a detail was lacking in
the completeness of the illusion, even
the lighting being carried out by wax
candles and electric light adapted to
the shapes of imitation candles, while
the servants were all in appropriate
dress. The cedar drawing-room was
the ballroom of the occasion, and the
music was rendered by the White vi
enncsc band, also in costume. Supper
was laid in the great banqueting hall,
whittier the guests were summoned by
blare of trumpets. Programmes and
menu cards were printed on Louis
Quinze screens, bearing a miniature
picture of Warwick castle. The design
on the invitation cards was n view of
Warwick castle. The countess of War
wick appeared as Marie Antoinette,
and the earl of Warwick wore the dress
of field marshal of the day. All the
chief personages of the period seemed
to have risen out of the past, so wildly
were they represented by the various
distinguished guests. The courtly scene
was indeed well worthy of the one cas-
tie in England which was never taken
by any foe in days gone by.

OUR FINANCES.
Treasury Receipts show Decided In
crease of Late.

crease of Late.
WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE treasury
receipts are partaking of the general
business revival, and while they do not
as yet quite reach to the point
of equalizing the expenditures, are
getting nearer striking an even
balance each day. For the ten
days of June the receipts have aggre-
gated $s, ,455, 900, or Sl,OOo,OOO a day,
Sundays excluded, and the expendi-
lures have been $4,000, 900, or only
81, ,469, 900 in excess of receipts.
The deficit will be wiped out be-
fore many days and the end of June
is likely to show for the month an ex-
cess of S2,OOO,OoO or S3,00O,OOo receipts
over expenditures, condition not
reached in any month for sew
eral years by the treasury. The
deficit for the year, which now
stands at S4s, 326, 900, will be reduced to
S45 200, 900 or below by June 80. This
turn in affairs in the treasury's con-
dition is accounted for by the fact that
business is adjusting itself to
tariff conditions and that large
revenue is now being received
from articles that heretofore yielded
| little as they were in stock"
With all the principal lines of busi-
ness adjusting themselves to the pres
ent tariff conditions and with an in
creased volume of business apparent,
still the revenues of the government
are not quite sufficient to meet fixed ex-
penditures. The increased revenue of
$40, 900, 900 or $50, OOO 900 provided by the

year of equalling expenditures. This
