OUR FIN NANCES.
Treasury Deficit for the Year VIII
he Less Than 100000, ,O00-SOme
Interesting Figures.

Washington, June 22.---It is regarded
as conservative estimate that the
treasury deficit for the fiscal year 1899,
which closes ten days hence, Will be
less than 500, 900. Already the re-
ceipts for the year aggregate over S496,-
100000, with the expenditures barely
500. 900, 600 more, with ten days, judg-
ing from past years, of heavy receipts
vet to be accounted for. Up to this
date the customs receipts amount to
over 5000. .4OO, 900: from internal revenue
S263. .J5O. .OGO was realized, and from mis-
cellaneouS sources there was received
$50. .50O.0 900. The total receipts from all
sources last year amounted to S4O1,-
- .335. while the expenditures aggre-
gated $443. 3.3GS.jS2, leaving deficit of
3S.O47.247. From the closest calcula-
tion that can now be made, the war
revenue act, which, with the exception
of a few items. went Ia to effect July /,
1898, will realize for the year little
less than $100,oO0,000. The two items
which have produced more than ten
times as much reye9ue as any two
others are those applying to docu-
mentary and proprietary stamps. On
April 30 last, these items had produced
over $36, SOC. 600, and it is not improbable
that by July i the total will exceed $44,-
100000. The tax on legacies will proba-
bly, produce not much in excess of ST.
100000, while the special tax collected
from bankers will exceed $3,5O0,O00.
The expenditures up to this time ag-
q ,egatc about $6O0,0O0,OOO. OF this
amount SOS, 5000, 600 was paid out on
requisitions from the war department,
$G4,OOO,OOO on account of the navy;
$l39 .OOO. 900 on account of pensions and
nearly $40. .O0O. 900 on account of interest
on the public debt; $12,675,0O0 was paid
20 the Indians and $117,200,0 600 was dis
burSed on civil and miscellaneous ac-
count.
At this time it is impossible to state
with any degree of certainty what the
war with Spain and the troubles in the
Philippines have cost, during this year,
but an approximation has been made of
the actual cash payments on these ac-
counts, which places the amount at
$3.50 100000. a calculation has been
made at the treasury which shows that
leaving out Of the reckoning the $780,
100000 expended this year OH account
of the war; the $lO0,OOO,O00 produced
by the war revenue act, and the SILL
19S,314 received from the Central Pa
cific, the figures would show Il surplus
for the year approNimating $26.OOO.O0O.

A VOTE OF CENSURE.
Ninistcr Who Married Perry Belmont
and Mrs. Sloan Punished
10y His Fellows.

New Haven, Conn, June 22.-Rev. w.
NJ. BarroWS, the minister who recently
married Perry Belmont and Mrs
Henry ID. Sloan at Greenwich was on
Wednesday severely censured by the
general association of congregational
ministers of Connecticut, of which he is
u member. pr. Barrows was present
and personally apologized to the min
listers, saying that he had been imposed
upon by sir. Belmont and Mrs Sloan,
but in spite of this resolutions were
passed censuring him and forbidding
any Congre Gational minister of the as
sociation to marry any divorced person
who has been shown guilty by the de-
cree. BY passing the resolution the
clcrgNmen present bound themselves
81 take firm stand on the divorce
question and use all their power to
bring about uniform divorce laws. The
resolution also makes it impossible for
them to remarry guilty parties in Il di-
yorce and parties who were forbidden
to remarry by the laws of any state
and the rules of other Christian
churches.

mined to look on the bright side.

Rob, who was not proving himself as
brave as his desire for fighting had led
his comrades to suppose.

what we meant to do, or the tongue

hard and keen cravings reminded them
that they had gone breakfaEtless, din
nerlcss and suPperless.
When True awakened, little shaft
of sunlight shone through the small
window, away up in the dimnesS of the
steeplc. 1t danced upon the cobwebs
that covered the dusty beams until they
looked as if made of gold thread. A
great, long-lcgged spider was dragging
Il haplcss fly into his web. The spiders
web had been partially torn away, and
the dust had been brushed from the
beams in the corner near it. There was
a little scatfold in the corncr covered
with shavngs and chips. evidently left
there when the last repairing was done.
But somebody had been up in that cor
ner lately. How otherwise could the
dust have been brushed away and the
spiders web broken? True wondered
idly what anybody could have been
there for. and then a sudden thought
struck him that sent the blood rushing
to his head, and made him for a moment
feel faint and dizzy. H. another mo-
ment he was climbing up those beams
nimbly as only squirrel or boy could
climb. He put his hand under the heap
of shavings and chips, and it touched
something very hard and cold. He
dashed off the chips and shayingS with
which it was covered, and disclosed
the bell tongue.
True wanted to Shout for JOY, but he
knew that he needed all his strength
just now, and restrained himself. He
co.ld not have lifted the bell tongue.
even if he had not been obliged to cling
to beam with one hand, but he could
draw it along to the edge Of the scat
folding, and then with one mighty eff
fort, he pushed il off. 1t came to the
floor with a crash that seemed as if il
might arouse all Ch"rryficId, and GER
talnlE did ctfcctuaIly arouse the two
sleeping boys, who sprang o their feet.

was the report Of a cannon. and that his

But no sonnd followed. They looked
at each other in silent amaZement and
tried it again. They could feel that the
bell swayed backward and forward; !;
