A son of the house OF Mccormick, OF
reaper fame, Is to marry u daughter OF
the house of Rockefeller, Of Standard
oil fame. Necessarily it will be a
fashionable wedding, There Is a barrel
of money on each side,
Things will have to be done up
brown, but there is to be no ostenta-
tious display of wealth such us New
York has seen recently, From this II
may be inferred that the women Will
not stand on the pew cushions nor steal
the floral decorations, II may even be
that something less than two hundred
policemen viii suffice to hold back the
crowd.
There will be no horse show handy
for the young people to attend and

a way to be happy. All Americana
should feel kindly towards Miss Rookie
feller for not making her father buy
her title.

extended Job. They have been kept wait
ing from one to two years for their money
and now when it looked as though they
were about to get it, they are once again
pushed aside. A certified copy of the
deficiency bill has not as yet been sent
into the comptrolers Office and hence no
warrants have been drawn against it..
Whenever the warrants are drawn, which
may be near the later part of the present
week. they will have to be registered, and
the good Lord only knows at what date
next fall this registering will fix their
payment. Those who are securing war
rants on the general appropriation bill
will be hustling with might and main
to get them registered this morning, and
as it is safe to predict that several hun
dred thousand dollars worth of warrants
will be registered within the next few
days, the men with the deficiency war
rants will have to come in behind all
this procession before they get any money.
And thus the situation stands with a
busted treasury

Adjutant General Mabry Camping on the
Trail of the Sealey Rifles of Calves
ton at the Memphis Drill-The
Texas Cup Prize the Bone
of Contention.

Bright and early yesterday morning the
creditors of the State of Teaxs began
pouring into the comptroller's office to Sc
cure their warrants. The general appro-
priation bill had been signed and certi-
fed copy sent over to the comptroller, so
everything was in readiness for the on
slaught. And it was an onslaught sure
enough. The various department clerks
were swarming around the treasury of
flee like black birds and there were some
other State creditors in the bunch as well.
BY 3 O'clock p. m. the 100000
to the credit of general revenue which was
on hand at 8 O'Clock yesterday morning
had dwindled down to pitiful little S24,
600, and still the crowd came. At 4 or )
o'clock last afternoon the last dollar of
the 100000 disappeared over the counter
and through the little window. Cashier
Lawrence, la the baseball man, died on
the home plate. In addition to the $780,
900 paid out on the general revenue ac-
count yesterday there was between thirty
and forty thousand dollars paid out to the
credit of special funds.

THE SEALY RIFLE MATTER.

1t will be remembered that at the close
of the last State encampment the Sealy
Rifles were mustered out of service by
Adutant General Mabry for their actions
during the encampment. Their arms
were taken from them and they were
denied the right of parading in any mill
tary parade in Texas. 1t now develops
however, according to evidence that has
reached the adjutant general, that the
Sealy Rifles intend going to the Memphis
drill and participating in that drill. As
soon as Adjutant General Mabry heard
of this, yesterday morning he wired the
officials of the Memphis drill, stating
that if they permitted the Sealy Rifles
to enter that encampment that he would
not allow the Texas cup to be put up as
a prize. That the Sealy Rifles had been
mustered out of service in the Texas Vol
unteer Guard and he did not propose to
have them go to Memphis and compete for
Texas prize and be looked on as mem
bers of the Texas Volunteer Guard Gen
eral Mabry was very emphatic about the
matter and informed the Memphis officials
that either the Sealy Rifles went or the
Texas cup one, and they could make IN
their minds accordingly. Up to last night
he had received no answer from Mem
phis.

DEMoREsT MEDAL CONTEST
BY the Loyal Temperance Legion in
Musical Union Hall.


Musical union hall was crowded Friday
night with an intelligent audience, the
occasion being contest for the Demorest
medal. .te 4.v .a9r
The exercises were opened with prayer
by DIR. benson of the Cumberland Pres
byterian church, after which Mr.. Philip
King delivered short address, explaining
the origin of the contest. Several years
ago, Mr.. Demorest, the well known New
York publisher, set aside $4,000 with
which to encourage and foster temper
ance sentiment and to pay for medals
to be contested for by young people in
any religious association or society, but
especially temperance organizations, the
subjects of the contestants to be always
on temperance, either original or selected.
Friday night there were 10 contestants,
all girls, from the Loyal Temperance le-
gion, of which there are five in the city,
the aggregate membership being quite
large. tr Nfi
The subjects of the young contestants
Friday night were very appropriate and
their rendition most excellent, the elo-
cutionary efforts of some being of a
high order. They were designated by
numbers, Miss Elbertine Matthews, No. 8,
carrying off the honors, her subject being
"Two Fires" She received the prize,
which was presented to her by DR.. Dem
son.
The musical part of the program was
excellent, the piano solos by Prof M.
p. 10. Pfeifer contributing much to the
pleasures of the evening. A guitar solo
by Miss Hulda Jylfe was rare treat
to music loving folks and added an addi-
tiOnal charm to a most successful and
delightful entertainment.

length the contention that as it was clear
~ the intention of congress to have the
law act as whole upon all incomes, the
provisions which are unquestionably void
invalidate the whole act.
! lie declared that the act should go back
to congress because of its arbitrary and
unjust provisions.
Mr.. Guthrie was followed by Assistant
Attorney General Whitney on behalf OF
the government. Mr. Whitney complain,
ed of the brief time for preparing the ar.
guments. The government would moi
AGAIN present any argument on the ques'
ton of municipal bonds. AS to the ques.
ton OF rentals of real estate, that was diff
ferent. The government had hoped that
this question could be presented so as to
obtain a reversal of the former opinion.
He announced that the historical and def
nitive argument would be handed to the
court in the shape of legislative review.
Mr. Whitney said the appellants re-
lied principally upon the system of eco
Monies of John Stuart Mill, which had not
come into existence at the time the consti-
utiOn was adoped, and he contended that
the distinction between direct and indirect
taxes was so abstruse that it was not
possible to incorporate it in written con-
sitution.
Mr.. Whitney, in criticising the oppo-
sition for going so far back into history
for precedents, said he had not intended
to go back further than 1853, but as the
appellants had gone back to ITO he
would himself give more precedents of
that date.
Cant you," asked the chief justice in
a tone which appeared to contain sort
of banter, 'go back further than that?
81 might" replied Mr.. Whitney, but l
would not tax the patience of the court to
the extent but for the benefit of my
learned friends on the other side"
He said he would agree to stop short Of
Mr.. Choate assured Mr.. Whitney and the
court that he would stop several ce1tu-
ries short of that date.
Mr.. Whitney referred at some length to
the distinctions between the words tax"
and duty in English literature and
legislation.
He said this distinction had been very
sharp and the word "taX" had been APP
piled only where the word duty" could
not be made to cover the case.
He said: ",The trainers of the con-
stitution were acquainted with Black
stone, they were very familiar with the
the English system since 1859 was that
everything called a tax was laid by the
rule of apportiOnment, whereas every
thing called duty was only laid by the
rule of uniformity. The thorough under
standing of this principle by the consti-
tuition explained the apparent lack of in
terest in the discussion of these matters.
The SYSTEM of apportionment among
countries was fine same in this country
in the early days as in England"
At this point Mr.. Whitney was inter-
rupted by the adjournment of the court
for the day.

A DESERVING HONOR.

Mr.. Charles Corner, chief civil en-
yesterday in receipt of a letter from
the American society of civil engineers
at New York informing him that he had
been elected a member of that society.
This is an honor that comes wholly I'M
expected by Mr.. Corner, but is in every
respect deserving. He is very rapidly be-
coming prominent in the engineering
world at large and this is but one of the
many deserving honors that have been
conferred on him during the past twelve
months.

REGISTERED WARRANTS.

The sad part of this brief but pathetic
story is yet to come. The disappearance
of that 100000 yesterday busted the
general revenue account fiatter than pan
cake. Yes, sir the State treasury is gone
to the wall once again, and at Il time
when there are now ready for payment
$4,000 worth of warrants, or at least
they will be ready for payment as soon as
the comptroller can draw them. The JIG
is up, however, and beginning with the
opening hour this morning all warrants
to the account of general revenue will have
TO be registered and paid in future subject
to "call." Treasurer Workman was ar
ranging the registering book last after
noon, and everything will be in readiness
this morning.
AS predicted would be the case by The
Statesman several days ago the treasury
went broke within eight hours after
the run was made on it and before shut
ting up time last afternoon there was
nothing but the books left to shut up.
From now on the proceedings of last
summer will be enacted, and registered
warrants will be "hawked" as in the
melancholy days of 1894.
