H. E. PATTERSON.


The report does not assume TO give to-
tails or to disclose at all the amount TO-
tai OF the shortage for the two terms.
Mr. Patterson says there will be short
age: how much he does not know, and
connot tell until ne has finished his ex-
animation of the redemption accounts,
which will occupy some weeks time YET.
A good many people have contenoed
that the report Of the second term
would reveal a much greater shortage
than the first, and some Of Mr.. Doran's
friends have said all along that the
money would ali be found and no short
age exist at all. But there will De
shortage. Mr.. Patterson says so in his
statement to the commissioners, though
it is possible that the shortage first ali-
uounced viii be materially reduced. 1t
will not be increased, says Mr.. Patter-
son.
An amount Of $1,000 has been found
to Mr. Doran's credit in the Bank OF
the Republic in New York City. This
IS noted in the signed statement OF the
fiscal agency, but does not show IN Mr.
Doran's books. Il is a semi-annual pay
nlenL OF the CnlCdgO, hdiSdo dllI W
oraska railroad refunding bonds issued
by check on the Kansas National bank.
There may be other credit items; in
fact, possibly are.
The Populist leaders have insisted on
having this report made early for the
campaign purposes They have alleged
that there would be a heavy deficit in
the last year which you'd insure Mr..
Denny's defeat. but the story will come
back now as a boomerang. Mr.. Patter-
sons figures show that the only differ
ence between the clerks and treasuTer's
books for the last year OF Doran's Sec
ond term. which was Mr.. Denny's first
year. is only s32oS. which sum is SIM
ply a clerical error. and is as charge

Office as in the clerks. In checking out
the lists the county clerk has - go over

ELECTRIC BITTERS.

Electric Bitters is a medicine suited for
any season. but perhaps more generally
needed when the languid. exhausted feel
ing prevails, when the liver is torpid and
sluggish and the need Of a tonic and al
terative is felt. A prompt use Of this
medicine has often averted long and per-
haps fatal bilious fevers. No medicine
will act more surely in counteracting and
freeing the system from the malarial
poison. Headache. Indigestion, Constipa-
ton, Dizziness yield to Electric Bitters.

BACK TO DUST.

1t is estimated that 5000 to 1000
cords of pulp wood a day enter into
the manufacture of paper in the United
States. At the minimum. 5000 cords
the total for a year would be the enor-
nous amount of 100000 cords. It is
safe to call it 1000. 900. If this wood
were piled in one continuous string. ii
would make a wall four feet wide and
four feet high over 1915 miles in
length. 1t can be seen what a prodi-
gious thing the wood pulp industry is
and at what tremendous rate it is
devouring trees. mainly spruce. Yet
all this wood is converted into paper
which, after being used, vanishes from
sight in a few days. and goes back to
dust. out of which element the trees
grow.-Paper World.

ers of the present day-E. NJ. Grace,
w. II. Patterson, w. w. Read, and the
veteran Walter mphTeys-seem 10
be mparatively unaffected by in
creasing years. the youngest (Patter-
SOM being thirty-seven. while Hum
Dhreys took over 12O wickets at the
cost Of Is runs apiece when fOrty-fOur
years OId-his very best season.
1t might be imagined that wicket
keeping, with its enormous strain upon
the hands and nerves, would speedily
tell upon a man; yet. although McGre-
gOr kept for England V. Australia
at twenty. and the Hon. A. Lyttelton
had the same distinction when TWEEN
ty-fve. other great wicket-keepers
have gone on improving, or at least
retaining. their powers until after
thirty-five or even forty summers have
passed over their heads.
Sherwin only left the Motifs team

seen in England at thirty-seven was
as good as ever; Wood. of Surrey, is
forty-one.> and is still brilliant; while
II. Phillips was nigh upon fifty before
he dotted for ever the pads and gloves
for Sussex.
Our finding. therefore, is that a bats
man is at his very best at about TWEEN
ty-three years Of age. when the agility
OF youth is combined with three or
four years experience of county or
Varsity matches: that fast bOwlers
flourish from twenty-one TO twenty
eight: that slow bowIers are still cum
ming until forty. and that probably the
lob" trundlers is good for three years
more: whilst the wicket-keeper likely
enough goes on improving until nearly
thirty, and can then be reckOned upon
for ten years more real hard work.

SAVAGES STILL UNTAMED.
Central Australian Aborisines Re-
tain Peculiar Customs.

The story comes TO us from an Eng
i.sh magazine that the Central Austria
m aborigine is the living representa-
tive of a stone age. who still fashions
his spear heads and knives from flint
or sandstone, and performs the most
daring surgical operations with them.
His origin and history are lost in the
gloomy mists OF the past. He has no
written records and no oral traditions.
In appearance he is a naked. hirsuit
savage. with a tyne of features occa-
siOnally pronOuncedly Jewish. He is
by nature light-hearted. merry and is
prone to laughter; a splendid mimic
supple jOinted. with an unerring hand
that works in perfect unison with his
eve. which is as keen as that of an
eagle. He has never been known TO
wash. He has no private ownership of
land. except as regards that which is
not over carefully concealed about his
own person. He cultivates nothing. but
lives entirely on the spoils of the chase
and although the Thermometer fire.

and his country is teemlng with fur

where night or fatigue overtakes him.
Above all. he is absolutely untamable
You may clothe and care for him for
years. when suddenly the demon of
unrest takes possessions; he throws off
all his clothing and plunges into the
trackless depths of his native bush, al

customs. and when stated. after months
OF privation. he will return again To
clothing and civilization. only TO re-
peat the performance later on.

THEY ARE TOO SMALL.
Congress Asked to Enlarge Treas
ury Building Vaults.


Acting Secretary Curtis of the United
States Treasury Department recently
laid before the Senate the information
that the vaults in the treasury building
which contain the bonds are too small
for their purpose. According to his re-
port, there is immediate need of an
appropriation to construct fire and bur-
glar proof extensions to the old vaults.
Mr.. Curtis letter is as follows:
Il have the honor respectfully to
submit for the consideration of Con-
gress the following statement as to the
condition of vault No. z in the office
of the Treasurer of the United States,
L. S. Treasury Building, Washington,
D. c.. used for the safe-keeping of the
bonds held on account of national
banks to secure circulation and de-
posits of public moneys. and bonds
held on account of the various trust
funds. with the earnest request that an
appropriation of 100000 be made to
provide for the construction and cree
ton of a burglar-proof extension and
for making the present vault burglar
proof. This estimate is submitted as
the result of a careful examination by
the experts connected with the Office
of the supervising architect.
THE extension is TO be entirely bur-
gIar-proof with two modern doors.
five inches and three inches thick, re-
spectively; the front of the vault to
be three inches thick. and the sides.
ceiling and floor TO be one and one
half inches thick. The back, sides.
floor and ceiling of the old vault are
to be lined throughout with one-and-
One-half inch thick material. The pres
ent construction of the old vault is
One-quarter inch thick. wrought iron
plates, and not burglar proof in any
sense.
THE aggregate value of bonds held
in this vault is $500. 900. 900. of which
about $4,000 900 are coupon bonds.
The proper custody of so many mil
lions of coupon bonds, payable TO bear
err entails a grave responsibility. and
ii is respectfully submitted that Con-
gress should provide adequate protec-
ton by the adoption of modern adj
vanced methods of construction to pre-
vent loss - burglary or otherwise"
