loss in cash.
The decrease in lawful money was

the heavy shipments Of money to the in
terror aud in continued collections by the
Sub-Treasury for internal revenue and
taxes. The disbursements by that insti-
tuition for Government bonds purchased

The loans decreased $i2,ti9.3o0 and the
net deposits decreased SIS sol 500, or Sb25.4

rlous and ancient customs. For instance,
LORD hlnSale OF ireland and Lord FOreS-
ter Of England, together with the Mas
ter Of Trinity College, Cambridge have
the privilege Of remaining covered in the
presence Of the sovereign. Lord Inchi-
quin may dress his servants in royal liv-
cry and Earl Spencer may attend roval
christeninss provided he wear gold but

The most picturesque ceremony which
King Edward can revive is that carried

PHOTOGRAPHS OF MEXICO.
An Interesting Display Intended for

(From the Mexican HeTald.


One feature of the Mexican exhibit at

complete collection Of photographs Of
Mexico. This is feature which has been
neglected at previous eXpositions and
Albino r. Nuncio, Commissioner from
Mexico TO the Pan-American Exposition,
realizing the Importance of such col
lection has made arrangements FOR II,
The photographs will be sent by Waite,
the phsi ographer, and viii consist of
thousand or so prints OF various sizes,
showing every phase of Mexico. There
viii be general photographs OF MeNlcdn
cities and towns, churches, markets,
scenery, and such things as are usually
seen by the tourist; railroads, harbors,
shipping facilities, mines. farming and
grazing lands. business houses manufac-
turing plants, tropical agriculture, in fact
pretty nearly everything photOgraphabl bile
in Mexico The collection will include the
set which Mr.. Waite has recently made
in the Tropics; also his collection of views
of the ruins at Palenque. Mr.. Waite made
the views Of Palenque on a Government
commission. This is the first set Of pho
tographs of the ruins ever taken. They
are large pictures, about "A by &c inches,
a dozen or more in all, and are excellent
in every way.
Mr. Waite was Obliged to clear away
the dense tropical growth with which the
ruins had been covered I'm the short space
OF a year to get his pictures. This set
which sells for $500 will only be seen in
museums or i'm the collection Of archaeolo-
gists and placing them on view at Buffalo
will offer an opportunity for very large
number of people to see them who would
otherwise know nothing about them
While Mr. Waite furnishes the photo
graphs the Government will frame them,
ship them, and place them upon exhibi-
ton. The exhibition Of general photo
graphs Of Mexico will be a splendid ad-
vertsement for the country. All the local
photographers have had a large demand
lately for photographs showing Mexico's
resources from investors in the States
and elsewhere. Mr.. Nuncio has found a
similar demand at previous expositions to
which he has been MeXico's commissioner.
A great many visitors to Mexicos ex-
hibits have enquired for actual photo
graphs of the country to satisfy them
selves in regard to some particular point
For advertising a country photographs
