Boston Herald: The American peo-
pie hardly realize what an inordinate
expenditure of money has taken place
under the Mckinley administration.
We cannot do a better service to the
public interest than to put the facts
son OF the national expenditures I'M
der different administrations, 1t is
necessary to reckon by fiscal years,
for, although the president comes into
power on March 4. and the fiscal year
does not begin until July 1, the inter-
val properly belongs to the financial
record Of the outgoing president Thus
the expenditures which are fairly
chargeable to the policy of President
Mckinley start on July 1, 1897. at the
opening of what is officially known as
the fiscal year of 1898, and run to April
1, 1900, that being the latest les COW
ered by the monthly returns This !s
a period of two years and nine months,
or two and three-quarters fiscal years
In that period the national expendi-
lures have been as follows:

Another Wonder Before the Century

Wednesday evening of last week was
an occasion Of unusual interest at AS
bury NJ e. church 18th and K streets,
northwest. A large audience of repre-
sentative ministers and lsymen Of both
races assembled to witness for the first
time on canvas, "Church Characters
Illustrated" " by the distinguished orig
inator, Rev I. L ThOmes, D. D. ''Whai
hath God wrought" was exemplif1ed in
the 120 scenes Of various phases of the
Christian life as is seen in church mem
bers of to-day. DR.. Thomas has i'm
mortalized himself in this wonderful
production. His fame will spread
around the globe. Pastors and people
home aud abroad will rejoice together
that God has raised up such a man
with the talent to accomplish such re-
suits. If DR.. Thomas had not produced
any other picture but this death scene
OF Evangelist Moody, he would live in
the memory OF unborn generations. It

While q few independent people dare
