In other columns on the same sheet are
the receipts and expenditures for the
month and for the fiscal year up to date,
as well as comparative statement for
the same period in the preceding year.
On another page Of the exhibit is a
statement prepared by the Treasurer's Of
fee showing the cash III the Treasury.
The cash in the general fund was $259
S56, 16S.59. Against this were Liabilities
such as outstanding drafts, disbursing Of
ficers' balances, etc, amounting to SS3
326,4i5.Ol, leaving an available cash bal
ance of Sl56, 030, ,293.5S.
There at glance is statement of the
Governments daily business and running
cash account. Besides the available cash
balance, what you might term the pin
money of the Government, the statement
also shows that the Treasury contains a
little matter of S150 900 900 in gold coin and
bullion, reserve fund, and trifie of
Sfll,592, ,9S9 in gold and silver, held for the
redemption of the paper money current
throughout the country, making every
piece of greenback as good as gold.
This section of the Treasury Depart
ment known as the warrant division is
a very important branch of the Govern
ment service. 1t is the brake on eXpendi-
lures. Not a dollar of the taxpayers
money can be spent until one of these
twelve bookkeepers looks into his ledger,
to ascertain that the account has not been
overdrawn. Then, and not until then, the
chief of the division certifies the exist
ence of a balance to the credit of the par
ticular account.
When the Secretary of War desires to
draw money to pay the officers and men,
he sends to the Treasury a requisition
for 100000, for instance. on account of
the pay and allowance of the army. The
bookkeeper looks at the requisitiOn, which
is in the form of a check, and turns to
his ledger account to see if there is $780,
900 left If so, he charges the sum to the
account, and a warrant is signed on the
Treasurer of the United States, who turns
the money over to the Secretary of War,
who thereafter makes a proper account
ing TO the designated officials who audit
and control the expenditures.
The work of the bookkeepers is not only
important but very arduous. The requi-
stions come piling in sometimes at a
tremendous rate. and each one has to be
scanned, the ledger consulted and careful
subtraction made.

A Pretty Home Wedding.

A very pleasant wedding was celebrat-
ed at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. r. S.
Copeland on the evening of May 10Th,
the occasion being the marriage of their
daughter, Gertie May, to Mr.. Curtis II.
Christy, of Housewife, Pa. Many very
pretty as well as useful presents were
given the happy couple by those in at
tendance. Among the guests we noticed
Mr.. and Mrs. George Smith, Mr.. and
Mrs. II. L. Bryner, Miss Armstrong and
Miss Wright of Pleasantville, Miss Mira
Wright of Housewife, and Miss Green of
West Hickory and numerous friends and
neighbors.
The ceremony was performed by F. E.
Metcalf, j. p, cousin Of the bride, al
though there were three ministers pres
ent. Immediately after the ceremony a
most sumptuous repast was served, some
forty persons enjoying the same.

Letter TO j. p. Huling.
TtoneStd, Pa.

Dear Sir:-No man is more interested
in the look and wear of the paint on the
house you build than you; not even the
owner; not even the painter.
And painters sometimes are suspected
of being more concerned for the look than
the wear. What is your opinion? Which
pays best, for painter to have his paint
last three years, or as long as he can? He
can have il last six if he wants to.
Lead and oil lasts three; Devoe Lead
and Zinc lasts six. OF course, conditions
effect the time of both.
Most painters know that zinc toughens
the lead some use it.
Devoe lead and zinc is thoroughly
ground in oil; the proportions are right,
and the mixture is thorough.
No painter need mix; he can't afford
to. Hand-work can't COMPETE with ma
chine work. He runs no risk with De-
voc lead and zinc.
All interests lie in using il: yours, the
owners, the painter's-unless he wants
his paint to wear half as long.
Yours truly,
35 +. w. DEvoE 4 Co.

TiOnesta Gets The First Two.

The game between the Juniors of
Pleasantvi lille and Tionesta on the latters
grounds last Wednesday afternoon,
though somewhat ragged in spots, was
quite entertaining after all. Neither team
had practiced much, the Tionesta boys
having played none this season, and so
the principal feature of the game we're
errors. The score resulted in victory
for Tionesta by 2s to l6.
But the real game was pulled off on
Friday, when Titusville's crack team
came over and lugged home heaping
basket of goose eggs. The playing strated
with a shut out for both teams on the
first inning and it looked as though we
were going to see some snug ball play
ing. Alter that however 1t was a walk
away for our boys, who piled up Is
entirely, only once in the game allowing
the Queen Cityites TO get within rod OF
home plate. The battery work of the
nome team was ofa high order, McMil-
Ian having Is strikeouts to his credit,
while catcher Mcdonald had no costly
passed balls, and was very effective.
The field work was extra good consider
ing that it was the first game in which
the team has INDUCED this year. The
real feature of the game and the one
most thoroughly appreciated by the spec
tatorcs was the entire absence of hood
lumism. With such order at future
games the management may look for a
good patronage of the sport. The score

Youst de Same on dis Side.

It's pretty much the same with all
Municipalities. Tionesta is not doing any
paving, but many Of her citizens are
improving their properties by substitut-
ing cement walks for the old wooden
concerns, and as these improvements are
presumed to be permanent in their ma
ture it is essential they be placed on a
grade and lined-up properly. In Oil City,
according to the Diizsdrd they're having
something like the same experiance that
this town is just now passing through,
to-wit;
In the matter of street improvements
there are numerous interests involved,
not the least of which is that of the con-
tractor. In the first place, he has to do
close figuring in order TO secure the con-
tract He then has to give bonds for the
faithful performance of the job. If oDsti-
cles are thrown in his way, of nature to
delay the work, he is compelled to lay
off his workmen and is subject to loss.
At the present time the paving of Third
street is practically at a stand still, be-
cause the City Engineer is unable to give
the contractor the grade, in consequence
of the pulling and hauling of the proper
ty owners over the matter. 1t is mani
testify unfair 10 the contractor. But the
Engineer cannot be blamed, because he
has to follow instruction received from
Councils. and the councilmen are sure to
be damned by some Of the property
owners, whatever they decide upon. 1t
is knotty problem, but it seems as II
some means might be found for making
| tho work move along more smoothly.
