The United States Treasury.

1t costs annually about $3.50, 100000
to maintain the United States govern
ment Exclusive of over $90,000,000 for
the postal service, much of which is paid
back from postal receipts). We expend
annually for the civil, establishment THAT
is, the salaries of public officials and en-
ployets of the executive departments,
care OF public buildings, etc. about
$4,000, 900; for the military establish
ment, $4,000, 900; for the naval estab-
lshment, $27, 10000 for the Indian SER
vice, $12,000,000; Tor pensions, $140,-
900, 900; and for interest on the public
debt, $35 0OO,O OO-making a total of
$3.50, 100000.
To meet these expenditures the United
States government has to raise the
necessary funds by taxation. The
greater amount is raised by customs
duties and by the internal-revenue tax
upon whiskey, tobacco. beer, playing
cards, oeomargarine. etc. For the year
ending June 80, 1896, there was collected
$3.50, 100000 from customs taxes and
STAT, 100000 from internal-revenue
taxes, the balance consisting of mis-
cellaneous receipts from sales of public

One can easily realize the immense work
of collecting this vast sum OF money. In
addition, however, the treasury, through
its accounting. officers, has to supervise
the expenditure OF every dollar paid out
for the support OF the government, and
to adjust the accounts OF every officer
spending the public money. Not dol
lar can be paid into the treasury Of the
United States nor paid out without an
order from the secretary addressed to
the officer known as the treasurer OF
the United States, directing him to re-
ceive the money, which is technically
termed covering it into the treasury"
or to pay out money to the person en-
titled, as the case may be. This order
of the secretary is called warrant; il
it orders the treasurer to receive money
into the treasury it is calleda covering
warrant if to pay out money it is called
either settlement" warrant (when the
money is paid to some person entitled to
it OF his own right, or an accountable"
warrant (if the money is paid to some
officer OF the government whose duty it
is to expend it for the purposes OF the
government). This latter officer has to
give bond to properly apply said money.

Good Times in New England.

The march of prosperity has already
reached the New England states, and the
whirring OF spindes and the Changing OF
looms give the welcome accompaniment.
Mills and factories are starting up and
giving employment to large numbers of
men and women. A great change has
taken place within six weeks.
The conditions in New Hampshire are
well shown by the report from Manches-
ter. The evidences of prosperity at hand
are unmistakable. The Amory Corpora
ton, employing 1900 hands, has resumed
work after a two weeks shut down, and
the doors OF the Amoskeag mills will open
to 5000 people next Monday, after four
weeks ofidleness.
In Massachusetts the indications are
no less emphatic. In Lawrence it is pre-
dicted that in another fortnight there
will not be an idle spindle or loom in all
the great textile factories that are CEN
tered there. In Worcester and vicinity
the manufacturers are busily preparing
for lively season. In Clinton the Wor.
sted company has for three weeks been
running its spinning department night
and day. Reports from othercities point
to the same business revival. In Rhode
Island all the mills in and about Prov.
dence are running on full time, and Olney-
vile has risen from stagnation to activity.
In Vermont the report goes out from
Bellows Falls that business is decidedly
better and men are preparing to extend
old industries or to iuaugurate new.

will devote his attention exclusively to
his law business and literary pursuits.
His action is totally unexpected, but

Clarence White of Humboldt Meets
With Painful Accident
Clarence White, brother in law of
George E. White, the Mendocino CATTLE
King, met with painful accident on his
way down to this City few davs ago.
He was on board the Hum ooldt Steam
snip Company's new steamer, the Hum
ooldt. and when proceeding to his state
room from the smokIng-cabin, the vessel
gave Iurch. Mr.. White says he threw
out his hand TO catch the neighboring

which was ordinarily fastened hack, shut

leIt nand close to the nall. There was no

wounoed digit dressed. HIS attorneys
are IN negotiation with the steamship peo-
pie Tor compen satory damages.

1t is treatment known to no other ply.
sician in America. 1t is distinctly of his
own origin or discovery, and is the result
of a lifetime of hard work and persistent
study, diligent research, and scientific in
vestigation in this and foreign lands. 1t
is purely vegetable in its composition and
perfectly harmless in its effect. II does
not stimulate temporarily, but restores
permanently. During the past fifteen
months 1t has been tested on more than
5000 young, mIddle-aged and old men,
who. as the result of errors or excesses,
were tortured by the woes of nervous
debility or sexual decay. 1t has never yet
failed, even in the worst case, to bring
back manly power and to remove every
trace or symptom of weakness. Gaunt,
hollow cheeks it fills out and makes rosy,
and dull, bleared eyes it rekindles with
the fire of health and restored manhood.
The fact should not be omitted, either,
that many of the most remarkable cures
effected by Doctor Cook have been
in chronic, long-Iingering cases, which
other ply ys:cians had pronounced hopeless.

DR.. Cooks Greatest Triumphs Are in
Bad Cases, Which Other Physicians
Have Pronounced Hopeless.

That Doctor Cook is a true specialist of
the very highest attainments can no longer
be question OF doubt. That he is so re-
garded by the sick people of San Fran
cisco and vicinity is indicated by the vast
number of them who con tinus to seek his
professional services from day to dav.
They go to him for help because he is an
educated, conscientious. high mind ed gen.
tleman, as we'll as great physician and
surgeon. who is able 10 cure every durable
case with which humanity is afflicted.
Among his patients are bankers, law
yers, merchants, mechanics, ministers,
miners, farmers, iaborers and literary
gentlemen; people from every station of
life and from all over the world.
While they go to Doctor Cook weighted
down under a secret load of disease, des-
pondency and despair, thew come away
from him full OF hope, confidence and Joy,
and feeling better in every way. From
that very hour they begin 10 permanently
