Uncle Sam Being Largely Paid in the
 Yellow Metal

Washington, August 31 .-Today's treasury statement shows that the amount of net gold on hand is $247, 1880, ,601. This is the larg- est amount on hand at one time in the his- tory of the department, the next largest amount having been $246, ,973,026 on Decem- Der 31, 1898.

At New York the customs receipts with the exception of from to 10 per cent, are all being paid In gold and at other im- portant points the excess of gold has been nearly or quite as large.
 The receipts today exceeded the expendi- lures by s1, ,46O, ,66S and for the month the excess amounts to nearly &,500 900. Since the first of July, however, deficit is shown of $4,OS6.65s The total receipts for the month are s4s97S,173. of which s2o,546, ,697 came from customs. $24 ,237 039 from internal revenue, and $5 194 ,436 from miscellaneous sources.

100 Feet Above Ground
From the Pittsburg Commercial-Gazette.
Wliilam Burns, an engineer, created con-
siderable excitement Sunday afternoon by
threatening to jump from the highest
point Of the South Twenty-second street
bridge. Burns had been celebrating dur
ing the day. and about O'Clock in the
afternoon he walked out on the bridge
and climbed up through the network Of
structural iron TO the top OF the arehed
span and lay down on the very top of the
arch TO sleep off his drunk.
The man attracted large crowd BY HE
peculiar actions Women were excited
lest he would lose his balance and dash o,,t
his life by falling to tho asphalt floor Of
the bridge. Men yelled at him to come.

length along the top of the arch, appsr-
entry sound asleep and utterly oblivious
OF all that was going OH below him
Officer Charming went to The house or
Engine company No. Y and had truck G
driven down 10 the bridge. The idea be-
ing to RIM ladder up TO the top Of tho
arch and bring Burns down When tho
truck arrived Burns raised up 10 "A sitting,
posture and leaning over the edge of the
arch called to The men on the truck:

Upon being told, he cautioned them mt

shaking his finger at the men who wero
preparing TO raise the ladder he cor

There was determination in The mans
eye. and officer Charming called Ia The
men on the truck 10 wait awhile The

him to the police station on a charge Of
drunkenness.
