Assistant Secretary of the Treasury
Vanderlip is quoted as saying: There
will be no necessity for any new pro-
visions for revenue during the next con-
gress, if the present range of receipts
continues We have already reached
almost a balance between receipts and
expenditures, and there will be no deficit
during the next fiscal year, or none
large enough to materially reduce the
cash balance of the treasury" AS a
basis of this forecast, the high average
of current revenue is given as follows:
Daily average for March, 1675, 256; for
April, s., 664, 1853; for the first eleven days
of May, S1,67S.7S3. This rate would
make a total of $512, 900, 900 for a COM
plete year. or a little in excess of Sec
rotary Cages estimate of $50, 900, 000
The expenditures for next year were es-
tf1nated by Secretary Gage at $40 00O,-
O00 which would indicate a deficiency of
$50 600, O00 But it is explained that
some of the estimates were not appro-
prfated by congress, while others will
not be expended during the year, so
that the deficiency will be much smaller
than the figures indicate. In any event,
with a cash balance of $259. 0OO. 600 in the
treasury. several annual deficiencies of
$50, 600, 900 could be met without embar-
rassment and without legislation for
additional revenue.

Lawrence, May 20.-The university

Guiding the smelling industry, reached
the enormous sum of 1927, 1859 goo. 49, This
is greater than the corresponding fig
ures for 1897 which were $26. $50, 543. 49,
During 1898 some of the mining indus
tries were decidedly larger than in 1897
while a few of them suffered a slight
decrease. The following table, which
will appear in the annual report, gives
the whole matter in a nutshell:

GLOBE SIGHTS.

Romance is nearly always foolish
ness.
Every lover of baseball believes he
was once a mighty good player.
When you are invited out to dinner,
would you rather have a lot Of style, or
plenty to eat?
Atchison women are pointing with
pride to a woman for whom a man
committed suicide
When a man offends a daughter, her
mother and all her sisters go out on
sympathetic strike.
Some people demand that the world
not only be patient with their foolish
ness, but that it applaud.
Can the men mean, and nine times
out of ten you will please the women
with whom you are talking.
If one friends advice doesn't suit
you, keep on asking your friends until
one gives the kind you want.
Resolving too often not to worry,
makes the resolution serve to remind
you that you have something to worry
about.
When a woman IS entertaining
guest it makes her mighty mad if a
party is given in town to which her
guest is not invited.
1t should be remembered to the ever
lasting credit of the men that when a

At a recent afternoon party in Atchi-

songs were sad, and the elocutionists
recited sad pieces. and perfectly love
