THE FAMOUS MILE MACARTY
The Beautiful Creole, Dressed as
Nine. de Maintenon, Rode in State.

Writing of Social Life in America S
French City, Harrydele Hallmark
draws this interesting pen picture Of
the famous Creole beauty and social
leader, Mademoiselle Macarty, in the
Ladies' Home Journal: "She always
dressed as they did in the time of, Louis
XIV, and even in her old age, never
either in winter or summer, covered
her arms, which were very beautiful.
Her most intimate friend was Madame
de Bore, and the two made life inter
esting for New Orleans. Mademoi-
selle Macarty owned chaise which
had a closed front Of glass and which
was unique in the colony. She had no
coachman, but positions. When she
intended to make a visit from one
| plantation to another her cortege
swept down the plantation roads with
all the grandeur of a queens. Dressed
as Madame de Maintenon, sitting in
her closed chaise, her outriders in liv-
cry, their black horses gallOping along
at a goodly rate, she made fasci-
mating picture. At the head of this
procession her favorite position rode.
He was very black, was always dressed
in scarlet, and tapped his arms pro-
digiously. AS the procession came
through the great pecan trees of the
neighboring plantation, the little pos
tilion, who looked more like monkey
than man, galloped his horses flu
riously ahead and excitedly shouted,
| 'Mademoiselle Macarty is coming.
| The outriders would twirl their horses
into the great avenues of trees; the
colored children would get out Of the
way as speedily as possible, each one
repeating the call of the little postil-
ion in the lead. With a glorious and
skillful turn the horses would be
brought up beside the spacious piazza

struction of public buildings expert
ence has shown that the authorization
of contracts tends materially to expo
dite and cheaper the same.
Mr. Dockery of Missouri, the rank
ing democratic member Of the house
appropriation committee, made the
following statement, giving the demo-
cratic view: This congress easily
surpasses all it's predecessors in the
stupendous aggregate of its approprla-
tions. The people were willing to
meet all the demands upon the ma
tional treasury made necessary by the
Spanish war, but it is fair to presume
that they expected their representa-
tives, in view of the cheerful DISPOSE
burdens, to limit the ordinary appro-
priatiOns to the necessities of a wise
and economical administration. These
expectations have not been realized
The result is an actual deficiency in
current revenues, amounting on the
first of this month, to $99,1O9, 554. So
This deficiency, as shows by recent
conservative estimate by Chairman
Cannon of the appropriation commit
tee, will probably reach $159, 100000 on
the Both of June next. 1t is impOssl-
BILE to estimate with absolute accura-
ing fiscal year. The secretary Of the
treasury, in his annual report made in
December last, estimated it at about
$31 900, 900, but it is now apparent that
it will not be less than $100,000,000
It is almost certain, therefore, that
ing the calendar year 1900 to face an
actual treasury deficiency. The $751;
100000 of income arising from the sale
of bonds under this administration and
that of President Cleveland will then
have been exhausted and the treasury
will pass from condition made OF
borrowed surplus to actual deficiency.
Such condition must be met, either
by increased taxation or by the issue
of treasury certificates, or by an addl-
tional bond issue. The appropriations
of the original 'billion-dollar' con-
SI0SS dl1Ouul0u W 1,UOO,OOO,AVV VI'
The appropriations of the congress
just ended reach the mighty aggregate
of S1,566, 800, 0162 %. 1t is fair to de-
duct from this total $482,562, 083 AZ,
made necessary to meet the liabilities
of the Spanish war. So if we deduct
from the grand total the liabilities on
account of the war with Spain it ap-
pears that the appropriations for the
ordinary expenses of the government
are $1,084, 1921, 1892. 81. The appropria-
tons of the congress just ended to
meet the ordinary governmental ex-
penses exceed those of the preceding
(54th) congress by $39,747,6 58 "a.
Not only this, but the contract liabiM
ties authorized by the congress just
expired for new ships and their arma
ment, public buildings, rivers and har-
bors and miscellaneous items amount
to $70,602,524. If, therefore, to the
ordinary appropriations is added the
liabilities on account of these author
lied contracts, we ascertain that the
appropriations and contract liabilities
amount to the tremendous total of ST.,
154, $3.50, 456. 81"

There is more Catarrh in this section of the
country than all other diseases put together, and
until the last few years was supposed to be in
durable. For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it local disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Sci
ence has proven catarrh to be constitutional
disc ase and therefore requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure. manufactured

PLAYING A GAME OF RETALIATION.
Situation to the Fight for Senator
from West Virginia.


Charleston. w. Va, Jan. 16.-The leg
islature was in session four days last
week without doing anything. This gen.
eral deadlock is due to the senatorial
contest, and it Will continue all the
week. The Democrats hold their sena-
torial caucus on Wednesday night and
the Republicans on Thursday night. but
the ballotiEg in joint session does not
begin until next week. On the Corti-
ficates of election the Republicans have
a bare ma iority on joint ballot for SEN
ator. The senate is Republican and the
house Democratic. so that in unseatinS
minority members in either body both
parties have opportunities for retalia-
ton, ard this condition is what pre-
vents both bodies from proceeding with
business. The house Saturday failed on
its first contested seat case because two
Democratic members refused to vote
and another was paired with a Repub-
lican, but it is thought that Rogan.
Democrat, will be given the seat of Via,
Republican, today. and that other con-
test cases in the house will be settled
Immediately afterward. Meanwhile the
Republican majority in the senate is
awaiting the final results in the house.
