Chairman of the House Ways and
Means Committee
CONSULTS WITH THE PRESIDENT
What Cut May Be Made at the
Short Session.
REV ENUE CONDITIONS

Representative Serene f. Payne of New
York. chairman of the ways and means
committee, and the recognized leader OF the
republican forces on the floor of the House
called at the White House this morning
and had long consultation with the Pres
ident relative to the work of the coming
session of Congress. After the conference
Mr.. Payne said that he would issue a call
for the republican members of the commit
tee TO meet in this city on the 2Jth instant
to partially. at least, map out a legislative
program for the approaching short session
OF Congress. Especially will the majority
members consider the question of revision
of the war revenue act There are appeals
from various sources for a reduction OF
the taxes made necessary by the war with
Spain Both the President and Mr.. Payne
agree that wherever feasible there should
be a reduction. They have definite idea,
however. of the amount of the reduction
that ought to be made.
Surplus Not So Large as Expected.
The surplus In the treasury for the first
four months of the present fiscal year has
not been as large as was expected a the
beginning Of the year, owing to heavy "x-
penditures in the Philippines and in China
1t is entirely problematical whether these
expenses will be materially reduced for
seine time They nay be unexpectedly IN
creased. The uncertainty Of the situation
is such as to prevent any heavy reduction
in the revenue act. The admi1lSira-
ton would much prefer to have good :ur-
plus at the end of the year than take
chances on deficit. 1t will be much safer
to leave a heavy cut in taxes to The next
Congress. and this will unquesticnabiy be
the policy. The war revenue act Is eSti-
mated to produce something over Sl0t.-
100000 4 year. # he surplus of the last
fiscal year could have been repeated this
year, with the prospect Of continuing. the
slash in the war AK could have easily been
onc-ha,f. II so 0NG 600 The surplus in The
last lis al wear was nearly SSn,0No.0o0 More
than $50 uOn ntst could have been cut off this
and then lift a big surplus. But nobody
can anticipate big a surplus this year,

A WONDERFUL CLOCK.
Grest Tlmeplsee Made ln Englsnd.-.FIsures
of the Empire.

Messrs William Potts & Sons, the
ell-known clock makers OF Leeds,
England, have just constructed for that
city, what is claimed to be the great
est Theological achievement Of the CEN
tury. The clock Is huge one, and In
1t are combined many features Of the
most remarkable clocks in the world,
such as thoNe at Berne and Strasburg
cathedral,
The huge clock dial, which is Of pol
ished copper with the figures inscrfb-
ed upon it in blue, Is flanked on either
side by mail-clad knight, each hold
ing above his head battle-ax, which
serves to strike the gongs at the hours:
and quarters. Above the clock, upon
kind of perch, stands a large cocker
ell. In front Of the dial Is platform
When the quarters Of the hour are
reached the mail-clad knights strike
their gongs. Immediately on the left.
hand side Of the dial door opens au-.
tomatlcally, and there issues forth a.
British soldier in full uniform. When
he reaches the middle Of the platform
he halts and salutes In precise military
manner. He then passes on to the left,
and is followed by a killed Highlander,
who repeats a similar performance
when he reaches the middle Of the plat
form. Then comes an Irishman In the
old dress of his country, brandfshing
a shillelah; then a Canadian boatman
with his paddle and finally Hindoo.
wearing his turban and lion cloth.
When the figures have passed round
the platform they disappear from sight
through another door. which closes au-
tomatically upon the last figures exit.
Then the cockbird overhead flaps it's
wings, raises its head and gives three
lusty crows. The figures are manufac-
tured Of copper bronze, while many OF
the other parts Of the clock are con-
structed of gun metal. The escapement
Is the double three-leged gravity by
Lord Grimthorpe, who Is probably the
greatest living authority on clocks and
bells.-Scientif1c American.

THE END,
A SENSIBLE WOMAN.

She Kept Her Husband From Playing Fool.
A party of married men were talking
about their wives, and 1t Is worthy OF
note that every man was glad he had
wife and was anxious to tell Of her
good points.
II never heard my wife swear but
once" said one Of them, when there
seemed to be q lull in the praise-meet-
ing.
All the others looked shocked. If
any of them had ever heard their wives
swear they were not telling it, and
they resented the frankness Of the man
who was apparently betraying family
secrets. But the man did not regard
the bad impression he had created.
"And that" he continued, In the
same tone, twas away back yonder, 80
years or more ago, when the oil excite
ment in Pennsylvania agitated the
whole country. I owned farm which
cost a thousand dollars, not because 1t
was worth that much, but because I
had taken 1t for a debt Of that amount
when could not collect. My business
was very small then, and thousand
dollars represented the bulk of my cap
ital. I had been married five years,
and my wife was the very best invest
ment had ever made. One day re-
ceived word that oil had been struck on
the farm adjoining mine, and right
away I proceeded to go crazy, just as
everybody else did when oil showed up
anywhere in their neighborhood. My
wife showed signs too; but she kept
her wits about her. Inside Of week I
began to get offers for my farm, and I
got crazier every time there came an
offer higher than the one before 1t. 1t
went up like balloon at first, until the
figures got away up, and the smaller
bidders dropped out At last an offer
of 500, 900 came from the representative
of a company that I knew was worth
two or three millions"
"'Let it go, john said my wife,
when I told her Of this offer.
"I guest not said I: If it's worth a
hundred thousand to them, it's worth a
hundred thousand to me-
~ tell you to let IL go, SAID my
wife, as firm as a post in the ground.
"'Not much said I, "Tll get s2OO,00O.'
"She pulled down her apron string
with a jerk, popularity Of hers when
she meant business.
you're getting a hundred times
more for it than you gave, said she,
and you never expected to make
hundred thousand dollars in hundred
thousand years, and you know it.
but I'll make good deal more
than that now,' I insisted, and started
back to my desk to write a letter de-
clining the offer.
"She pulled down her apron with a
jerk that made the strings crack.
".John Martini said she, don't be a
d fool!'
And wasn't" concluded the narra-
tor, "for I accepted the hundred thou
sand dollar offer, and it was $4,000
more than the company ever got off the
farm, for the oil didn't seem to run
that way."-New Lippincott.
