TO FORM A VIRGINIA BRANCH.
intercollegiate Assn of Aiumnne 10
Have Representation Here.

A rather interesting meeting will be
held in the parlors Of the Jefferson to-
morrow morning, when a movement will
be started looking to the formation of a
Virginia branch of the Intercollegiate As
ISOLATION of Alumnae. The membership
Of this association Is made up of the
graduates Of a certain small number OF
accepted female colleges, such as Welles-
ley, Vassar, Bryn Mawr, Ann Arbor,
etc, and its representatives are scat
tered all over the Union, but no branch
can be organized unless there Is mem
bership of ten, and hitherto there has
been none in any Southern State. 80 lew
of our southern women go 10 the hisher
colleges that as yet no college south of
MARYLAND has had its graduates admit
ted to membership, so that it seemed
wellnigh hopeless task to find in any one
state the required number. Recently,
however. those most interested In the
movement have found the necessary ten,
and as a majority of them are In the
vicinity OF Richmond, 1t was determined
TO hold the first meeting here.
The visitors will arrive in the city on
Friday evening and the meeting will oc-
cur on Saturday morning at 1890 O'Clock,
and will be followed by luncheon. The
aim of the association is both social and
intellectual. 1t brings together those who
have common memories and common
aims. and everywhere that 1t has had a
branch II has become a strong power for
good Among those TO be present from
distance are Mrs. futile, University OF
Virginia; Miss C. S. Parrish. Woman's
College. Iynchburg; Miss Edna Moffatt.
Farmville; Miss Lydia Lois Tilley, Nor
folk. and Miss Ella Jones.

A SURPLUS FOR MAY.
Statement of Government Receipts
and Expenditures.

and Expenditures.
Washington Star, June 1st)
The monthly statement of receipts and
expenditures. issued at the Treasury De-
partment to-day, shows some interesting
figures. The receipts for the month We're
si4,7s6,ol3 and the expenditures $40. 5l3, 0Oi
surplus for the month of $i213 COS, re-
duclng the deficit for the year TO $l0i C26.-
liS. This in itself Is encouraging to the
officials OF the Treasury. II June shows
the same surplus as May the deficit for
the year will be about sl00O00.000. In his
estimate last December Secretary Gage
thought the deficiency for the year would
be about Sll2, 900, 600 but there has been an
unexpected increase In the customs re-
oeipts. When Secretary Gage made his
estimate he did not then know OF the
$40 100000 which was later paid TO Spain.
The customs receipts for May were slS,-
S6,@5. against slS,iS,64s for the same
month last year. 1nternal-revenue re-
ceipts for May were s23, 7s9, against
$l4 492. 20S for the same month last year.
This gives an idea of the increase IN in
ternal-revenue receipts by reason of the
imposition of the war taxes. The inter-
nal-revenue receipts have averaged about
these figures for three or four months,
and give no indication of decreasing.
There is not much chance of large in
crease, but Ii is not expected that they
will go under SO.co0OOO for any month.
In December Secretary Gage estimated
that the internal-reyenue receipts for the
year would be s270.0O0.OO0. The total 10
date Is SAL 535, $50, with another month to
hear from. That month will make the
total Just about the amount estimated
for by the Secretary The Secretarys
estimate OF customs receipts was $685.
900 600 The total thus far is $iSs.O6o soi.
1t is likely that the Secretary's estimate
will be exceeded by at least 100000 600.
