When it became obvious by the
sudden close Of hostilities that the
demands upon the treasury would
not reach the magnitude for which
provision had prudeutlv been made
the secretary determined to depo-
sit a large share Of the proceeds
Of the popular loan in national
bsnks in all parts of the country.
By this process the funds. while
at all times available for the use
Of the government, remained in
the channels of trade. The ba.

treasurer on this account on Oct

increase of 81, 597. $50 over those
of the previous year, while the net
ordinary expenditures were $443,-

Independently of the prospect
of revenue or expenditure, the
treasurer regards the treasury a

Cleveland as a Rabbit Hunter.

Ex-President Grover Cleveland has re-
Gently procured two fine beagles, and is
prepared to give the rabbits a good chase
as soon as there is a frost. The dogs
were bought by Col. William e. Griffith,
who was in Kent county, Md, recently,
and knowing that Mr.. Cleveland wanted
two beagles secured what he considered
two fine specimens. They arrived at
Princeton last week and attracted con-
siderable attention. The dogs were raised
by Walter Rawleigh Of Chestertown, Md,
who has the reputation of being one Of
the most successful rabbit hunters on the
shore and always keeps dogs of high de-
gree. The two dogs. which have been
named Jack and Drive, are the pick of
Mr.. Rawleigh's pack. In color they are
liver and a dark-brown, with white col
lars and White-tinned tails.

"SmaII Cap, Shafter.

".Pecos Bill is not the only nickname
that Gen. Shafter ever enjoyed" said an
old newspaper man the other day. "Out
in Denver he was known for years as
Small Cap Shafter,' and as ne is anything
but small this title calls for an explana-
ton. 1t seems that a banquet of some
sort had been given to a lot of army Off
GERS, and among the guests was Gen. then
coloneD Shafter. The old Denver Trib-
une printed an account of the affair and a
list of those present was included in the
article. When the proofs were examined
before the paper was made up it was dis
covered that Skaters initials were in low
crease type, and the proofreader promptly
marked them small cap meaning that
they should be reset in capitals of a
small size. The intelligent compositor
supposed that the inscription indicated
some military title with which he was
unfamiliar, and instead of making the
proof correction, substituted Small Cap
Shafter, and thus it appeared on the fol-
lowing morning. 'Pecos Bill was mad
enough to bite nails when he saw the pa
per, but everybody else reared and the
title stuck to him until the yarn was grad
ually forgotten. 1t is still remembered,
however, by plenty of old-timers."-New

MONEY FLOWS FOR HER SAKE.
Mr.. Whitney Provides Sport of Kings
for His Sick Wife.

Mr.. Whitney Provides Sport of Kings
for His Sick Wife.
Mrs. William G. Whitney is one of the
most fortunate as well as one of the most
| patient sufferers ever known. Her hus-
band has given up his business affairs to
devote his entire time to Mrs. Whitney's
welfare.
Mrs. Whitney lies in the south room of
her Westbury q. H. home ON a couch
built especially for her. Her position is
half reclining, and this she cannot change
without the help of her nurses. From
her couch she looks through a large Win
dow and can see the naturally beautiful
landscape. But a well person becomes
tired of landscapes. SO Mr.. Whitney's one
effort has been to change the scenery, so
far as money and brains can, to aSSuage
the dreadful m0notony of her sickness.
First he built q race course where his
and his sons horses are schOoled over
the jumps. Now he is having golf links
laid out, the greater part of the course
being within the track circuit, and di-
| rectly in view from the sick chamber.
DR.. Mann, the attendant physician,
lived at ROslyn, three miles from the
Whitney home, and although they had
telephone connections and horses and
traps in plenty. the Whitneys thought it
better to nave the physician nearer, so the
' NlcOA Gil "bJOlhiiS N1 AllhlANS pip
erty was bought last week at Il cost of
$4,000, and DR.. Mann is now living
there.
This, no doubt, gave rise to the rumor
that Mrs. Whitney was growing worse.
On investigat ton this was proved to be
untrue, as the suffering woman is slowly
but surely improving, and her family and
| physician have every hope of her ultimate
recovery.
Beside the new golf course another
amusement is in store for Mrs. Whitney,
although it will be only temporary. The
Meadow Brook Steeplechase association
will hold it's third annual c~ross-country
races at the Whitney place on November
8, and Mrs. Whitney will nave the pleas
ure of witnessing a real race meet
something which few if any other invalids
ever enjoyed. The card will consist of
six races, three steeplechases for gentle
men riders, one fiat race for hunters,
an open steeplechase and a team race. the
last being the feature Of the programme.
Besides the natural hunting country,
the siX-furlong course already laid out
makes the Whitney property particularly
adapted for the races.
Mrs. Whitney will have an u%ninter-
rupted view of all these, and will. no
doubt. be the most interested spectator

CALIFORNIA; BARLEY CROP.
1t is Larger than that of Any Other
S~tate-Pacific Coast Hop Growing.

- 10 AHdA SSA thoh tIat O1 ANY III
State-Pacific Coast Hop Growing.
While the Pacific coast wine yield is
not up to expectations this year, there has
been a large crop of barley and a very
considerable product of hops in Califor-
MIA, Oregon and Washington. The pro-
duction of barley in the United States
has increased from "A, 900 bushels in
1888 and 6S,OOO,0OO in 1890, to 9O,OOO,-
600 this year. The business of mailing
kept pace with the rapid development Of
brewing, and one of the results of the
enlarged demand has been the establish
ment Of many lighthouses and the dis
continuance Of mating by brewers. At
the present time, comparatively few
brewers malt their own barley, it being
more profitable to buy of the maltster.
The central and northern counties of
New York had formerly a monopoly of
hops, but Washington and Oregon are
now in the field. By the census of 1890
Washington ranked second among the
states of the country in the product of
hops, California third, and Oregon
fourth. In the total amount of it's barley
product California ranks not only at the
head Of the states, but produces in a year
about one-fourth of the barley product of
the whole country. 1t is estimated that
the total hop crop of Washington state
this season will be between $1,000 and
0U,OOO bales. Ihe picking is finished,
and much of the crop has already been
sold on the basis of 10 to II cents per
pound.
According to the secretary of the Wine
Makers corporation Of California the
vintage this year will be one of the small
est in the recent history of the state.
The yield of dry wines will be in the
neighborhood of 100000 gallons, as
against 27,000,0 600 gallons last year.
Sweet wines will show about one-half the
production of a year ago.-New York
