He Will Reckon Deficit of
xSO.OOO, SHptp

F~V.UeSV.OSV.
Secretary Gage said to a Star reporter
today that his estimates to Congress will
reckon on a deficit for the fiscal year
which ends with June, 1898, of about
$4,000 900; certainly not more than 49,
00.000. This is over $15.ooo,0D less than
estimates now being made in various news
papers. The Secretary is not at all dis
courased at this.
He said that it is 100 early to begin TO say
that the Dingley bill will be disappointing.
He pointed To the figures The customs re-
ceipts for the month which ended today
were 81. $50 025. against S'..rs0.:sSti for the
same month last year. when the Wilson bill
was in operation.
The loss is about s1oo.oW The strides
which the customs receipts are making are
shown by the fact that for last month,
October the receipts were Sg713. 494
against 81. 105 1913 for the same month last
year. a loss over the same month of the
previous year of about 81 ,30.Io.
1t vii thus he seen thai the customs re-
ceipts are steadily gaining each month
Assistant Secretary Howell is confident that
for the month of December the receipts will
exceed the same month of last year.
For January he counts on "A large in
crease. He thinks the receipts from sugar
for January will be about s4.WO.OW. This
month and last the sugar receipts amount
ed to about sI,Ooo.ooo each month.
Secretary Gage thinks that the spring i'm
portations will help swell the receipts large
ly and show what the Dingley bill will be
able TO do.
The internal revenue receipts continue to
show I'D well. For the months of july
August, September. October and November
of 1886 the total receipts from all sources
were S13o,t9071
For the same five months of this year
the total receipts are $129,919,2J7, a loss
from internal revenue has assisted in pre-
venting the loss being greater.

mond stud in the waste pipe Of the bath
tub the other day. On hearing of the loss,
the proprietor allowed the pipe to be taken
up. at the expense of the loser. A plumber
did the job for SO, and the guest not only
recovered his stud. but also found in the
bend of the drain pipe diamond ring. Be-
ing an honest man, he gave the ring to
the proprietor, who advertised the find in
several newspapers. AS no one came to
claim the ring, the proprietor, with an
equally commendable sense of honesty re-
turned 1t to the finder. Needless to say, the
loser of the stud was highly compensated
for his trouble. as the ring was valued
at $50. The fortunate man gave the
plumber crisp twenty-dollar note extra

One Cat Made Useful.

From the Bangor (Me) Commercial.
An ingenious Augusta boy fas found a
new way of putting in electric wires that
deserves to be patented. His mother had
given him permission to have an electric
light in his room if he would put in his own
wiring. In order to do this it was necessa-
ry to carry the wires from one room to an
other. How to do this i'm a neat and work
manlike manner was a perplexing problem.
but the young man was equal to it. He be-
thought himself Of a pet cat which was
greatly devoted to him and would answer
readily to his call. A good stout string
was attached to kitty's tail, and she was
put under the flooring and called through
from one room to the other. With the aid
of this string the wires were soon in place
and in a manner, too, that would have
done credit to the best workman in the
city
