Gregg, to whom her uncle. Daniel Hop
kins Gregg, who died recently, be-
queathed the greater part of his $685.
600 estate on condition that she retain
the name of Gregg through life.

supposed. was that his niece should re-

money, but she was equally desirous of
securing Joseph II. Dillon for hus-
band. The question was submitted to
lawyers. who advised the young man
to append the name Gregg to the cog
nomen which he already possessed, and
then when she was married her name
still would be Gregg and she could.law-
fully receive the money.
The petition was referred to Judge
Wtthrow. who promptly granted the
young mans request. Thus love found
a way out of very peculiar dilemma.
and the marriage Will take place as
agreed upon before Daniel Hopkins

TAKE BULLET FROM TONGUE.
Il IL Extracted Thirty-Two Years
After Being Fired in
q Fight,

Byram c. Austin, of Kansas City, Mo-.
has just celebrated by having bullet
extracted from his tongue which en-
tered his body diring "a free fight 81
years ago. He was shot in front of the
Glenwood schoolhouse in Lafayette
county, four miles southwest of Lex
ington, in July, 1866.
Al the time the Cumberland Presby-
terians we're holding services in the
school. After services Mr.. Austin,
leaving the church, came on three
brothers of family named Casper.
They had become engaged in a quarrel
with Austin's friend. Martin Baker, and
had shot him with revolver.
II stepped in to protect my friend"
said Austin. "The youngest of the Cas-
per brothers had shot my friend, then
I shot the next oldest and then the next
Oldest shot me. was leaning over to
cock my pistol for another shot when
got bullet in my mouth"
The bullet was from Colts navy
revolver, an old-fashioned, muzzle-
loading weapon. 1t knocked three
teeth out Of the upper jaw, went
through the jaw bone and lodged some
where down the throat. Austin never
suffered much from the wound. For
two years Assesses would form on the
tongue, but they would soon break,
and the pain would then leave him. A
few days ago Mr.. Austin felt some
thing rough. like pebble, in the roof
Of his tongue. He suspected what It
was and went to DR.. w. C. Allen, who
lifted out the bullet from the flesh with
q pair Of plyers almost US easily as If
it had been lying on the surface of the
skin. The bullet is twisted and bent.
as II IL had been hammered with rough
stones. On one side are plain marks
where It scraped the teeth.

NEW FRENCH NAVY.
aixty-TvO Million Dollars to BE Spent
in Construction of Battleships
During 1900.

In connection with the development
of the French navy, naval officials at
Washington are advised that the Paris
government will expeni 10000. 900
francs ($62 2.OO0OOO) on new ship con-
struction during the year.
Notwithstanding Russia's disarma-
ment proposal, the year 1899 will see
large addiNons to the material Ct her
navy. The department is advised that
she will have under construction during
the present year six new battleships,
one armored cruiser, six protected
cruisers. five s.0O0-ton cruisers of rs
knots and IS torpedo boat destroyers.

grammme will be 100000 600.

pertinent of governing a number Of her
colonies under the navy instead OF the
army. In taking this action she is adopt
ing policy identical with that which
this government has put in force with
regard TO Guam, which is to be placed
under the control of an American naval

POPE IN ANIMATED PICTURES.
Leo XIII. shown in the Vatican to an
Interested Audienc Ht
Chicago.

Animated pictures of Pope Leo XIII
taken 10 the vatican were exhibited the
other night at Chicago to IN appreci-
ative audience. Rev. Thomas j. Ma.
lone, of Denver, Col. who has charge OF
the exhibition. gave an interesting ad-
dress on the history OF the pa pacy be.
fore the showing of the pictures. In his
closing remarks he told Of Leo's love
for America and her institutions, aud
he spoke feelingly of him as the last
OF three grand old men-Gladstone and
Bismarck being the other two.
The picture first shown on the canvas
was that of Cardinal Gibbons, of Bal
timore. taken in the grounds of St.
Mary's seminary. An excellent view Is
given of the prelate surrounded by
nearly 100 seminarians. A religious
procession on the feast of Corpus
Christi was the next scene. This was
followed by procession of priests
taken in u monastery at Rome. An or
der known as the Brothers of Mercy,
composed of disting uished men in pro-
fessional and religious life, is repre-
sented by several members, wearing
masks and strange garb, carrying
away the dead body of friendless man
who died in the streets of Florence,
Italy. Scenes in monastery of Ca.
puchin fathers and the papal guards
were greatly admired by the audience.
Pope Leo being carried through the
logic on his way to the sistine chapel
and his return after pontifical mass is
magnificent production. In the next
picture the pope is seen stepping out
OF carriage in the vatican gardens. He
takes seat on stone bench and be-
slows the papal benediction. He is
seen again driving through the gardens
In an open carriage. Getting out Of the
vehicle he takes seat on q temporary
throne and his blessing is again be-
slowed.

WAR ON AMERICAN BICYCLE.
Lengths to Which German Manufac.
turers Have Gone to XIII
Out Our Trade.

The length to which European man
ufacturers are willing to go in their
efforts to crush out American COM
petition is shown in the following re-
port to the state department by Dean
B. Mason. vice consul at Frankfort:
Failing to obtain from the imperial
government the prohibitory import du-
ty on American bicycles which they
have SO earnestly and persistently de-
manded, the members of the German
Bicycle Manufacturers association
have decided upon the following simple
but ingenious plan to kill the Ameri.
can cycle trade in this country. From
this time forward they will unanimous
ly refuse all credit to any dealer who
handles, as part of his stock in trade,
a bicycle Of American origin.
''The association includes in its mem.
bership nearly 100 of the most impor-
tant bicycle makers in Germany, who
have been accustomed hitherto to give
retail dealers from two to four months
credit and very liberal terms in respect
to parts and repairs.
"Since the majority of independent
bicycle dealers in Germany are in close
business relations with and under per-
sonal obligations to one or more manu-
facturers. it is expected that the effect
of this heroic policy will be to serious
ly injure the sale of American bicycles
unless exporting manufacturers in the
United States take an aggressive atti-
tude and make the competition SO hot
that the German makers will be COM
PEELED to make peace by resembling the

budget for 1907 Estimated Mt 81 ,46x.-

Leaving a Net Surplus of
$1.15O,624.

The first great blessing that has come
to Porto Rico since the American occu-
patton has been the reduction of taxes
and government expenses. The budget
for 1899 has just been approved by Gen.
Henry. This covers the expenses Of
what is called the ''insular govern
ment." The following sums, which
would have been included in the budget
of the Spanish government for this
year, have been stricken out
General obligations..... ..........$ 49s5ol
Clergy. ...... .................."... Iga S49
ar ..... ..... H. 'S0S OIL
Marfne..... ...... .................... 222.66s
The total of the obligations that
ceased to exist and which are deducted
from the amount of the budget is $2.-
171.492. The difference that had been
expended without the realized econo-
mics herewith detailed equals S2,610.-
AIT. The calculated budget for 1899 is
formed of the following items
General obligations. ............. ...$ 1850
State obligations. 49,. ........ ........ 304,s95
Justice department. ..... .............. POL ~
Finance department.......... ....... 800
Interior department...... .............. 7s6.63S
The customs for the coming year
were estimated to be $3.152,9O0 This
sum 10 to be reduced by the amount
usually raised by the duty ON wheat
flour, and which has been taken off by
Gen. Henry, equal to 100000. This
leaves a net revenue from the custom
houses Of So. .632 900. There will remain,
therefore, an excess Of $1.170,624.
It should be understood that the
above figures embrace only the neces-
sary expenses for the payment of sala-
ries and other fixed charges. If this
amount cannot be paid from the pro-
ceeds of the customs then it must be
raised by other methods of taxation.
Gen. Henry has asked of Washington
the right to apply the Gust oms receipts
to the expenses OF the government. II
this should be permitted all govern
ment expenses could be met. At tho
present time there are many taxes COL
lected that are great hindrarce to
commerce, and If the customs receipts
could be used these might be done away
with.
Merchants doing business in Porto
Rico pay almost prohibitive tax. No
one can engage in the banking or i'm
porting business without paying to the
government q tax Of about $500 pesos
per annum. Then there are consump-
ton taxes imposed upon every article
imported for consumption. These
should all be done away with, as they
hinder trade and prevent the trade from
America entering here.
