HER BRIDAL GOWN.
Magnificent Creation for Queen Will
helmina of Holland.
Il Is Designed in Paris ana Its Chief
Feature VIII Consist OF Wonder
ful EmbroiderIes - Dress It,
self Is OF Cloth of silver.

The description comes from Am
sterdam of the marvellous wedding
gown which Queen Wilhelmina will
wear. 1t was designed in Paris. and
its chief feature consists of wonderful
embroideries, which are being made
at the royal school of art needlework.
The dress itself is of cloth of silver,
of so exquisitely supple and fine tex
ture that it suggests the Indian mus
-lins of our grandmothcrs, which could
be pulled through "A ring. It is made
up over the richest white glace silk.
The front of the jupc will be worked
in a tapering design. harmonizing
with the train, being broad at the
hem and narrowing toward the waist.
The full court train will trail two
and one-half meters Oh the ground.
1t falls from the waist, and is sur
rounded by two broad bands of EN-.
broidery, giving the general idea of
detached sprays of orange blossoms
and their foliage, connected by scrolls
and ribbons. Each one of the clusters
of flowers has a single. fully opened
blossom surrounded by buds more or
less developed. Fine seed pearls are
used for these, while the foliage is in
dicated by silver threads and pail
lettes. In addition to The pearls and
paillettes six kinds of silver bullion
twist are employed TO produce the
different effects required, and most
of the interlacing ribbon suggested is
highly raised, or, in technical terms,
couched.
The embroidery is worked upon
silver tissue and white silk foundation
as well, thus imparting richness as
well as firmness. No work is TO ap-
pear on the bodice, which. according
to the Dutch custom for state we'd
dings, is to be cut low. 1t is to be
draped with Brussels lace, of which
the queen possesses a valuable col
lection, both antique and modern.

Uncle Sans Expenses.

"What the Government Costs" is
told by Carroll d. Wright in the JAN
uary Century.
A very large proportion of the an
nual expenses is for pensions, the
largest single expense of the federal
government. This expenditure was
the largest in 1893. when it amounted
to $159, ,357, ,557.s7. The smallest ex-
penditure since that period was in
1899, when it was S139, 1894, ,929.O7: for
1900 it was $l4O,S77,3l6. The pension
burden in 1893 was s2.37 per capita,
while during the last fiscal year it
was S1.S4, which the people of the
United States pay to carry out the
promises made at the time of the civ
il war.
The expenses of the War Depart
ment were the largest in the history
of the country in 1865, when they ex-
ceeded 81 0O0,O00,000. In 1871, when
the effects of the war and reconstruc-
tion had virtually passed away, they
were reduced to S39, 799,922. They
varied from that period, never ex-
ceeding $40, 100000. until 1894, when
they were over S54, 100000. This point
was not reached again until the first
year of the Spanish war tlS98), when
they were nearly $92,OOO,OO0. They
were nearly 1890, 100000 in 1899, but
for the fiscal year ending June 80,
1900, we're reduced to $134, ,774,76
The Navy Department expended in
1871 nearly SIS, 100000. The expendi-
lures varied until 1897, when they
were over 1874, 5000, 600; in 1898, nearly
$50, 900: in the year 1899, nearly
$64 900, 600, and for the fiscal year 1900
$55 ,953,07S.
The expenditures on account of the
Indians grew gradually from the first
half of the century until they reached
the highest in 1893, when they were
13,345, ,347.27: they are now over $1O,-
100000.
The greatest expenditure for inter-
est on the public debt was in 1867, be-
ing sl43, ,7s1, ,592. This payment grad
ually decreased until 1892, when it
was $23,37S, 1923. 1t has been grad
ually increasing since that time, un-
til for the fiscal year 1900 it was S4O,-
16O,333.
The expenditures for civil and mis-
cellaneous items, including the ex-
penses of Congress and of all the de-
partments and offices in Washington
other than the War and Navy depart
ments and the payments that have
already been noted, were in 1871 nea ar
ly $50, 100000. There was not very
much change in this amount until
1885, when they reached $S7 800, 900,
and in 1891 over $11O,OOO,OOO. The
highest amount paid on this account
was in 1899, when it was $ll9, ,191 ,256.
For 1900 it was reduced to over $105,-
773, 100.

In memory of little Hobert ".
Countryman, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Raymond Countryman, who departed
this life but a few short days ago,
December 23d, 1900, aged months
and 2 days. Hobert was a bright lit
boy, had just commenced to notice
papa and mamma. But with all the
loving hands and physicians care, the
death angle was waiting for him. We
should not grieve and mourn for it
was Gods will. What is our loss is
his gain. But oh how deep we feel
it.
Fold his little hands so waxen,
Ger his still cold breast
For our little Hobert is sleeping,
In deaths long. sad rest.
Press the cold eyelids gently
Ger his ewes once so bright;
Then lay our darling's form 60 cold,
In cssket pure and white.
Why was II we had to loose him ?,
Why was It? cannot tell;
For we loved him, oh 80 dearly;
How can we ever say farewell?
Still we questioned how 1t happened,
How 1t can be for the best,
Why those little feet 10 early,
On journey needed rest?
Although our hearts are nearly breaking
With throbbing, aching pain,
We watch and wait, thinking ever,
That be will come back again.
Yet We do not wish to call him

sport of him, though, so he returned to St. Louis the other day with several stock stories with which he has in terested the miners and with which he calculates to inspire awe in Missouri. He will show them the antlers of a mountain sheep which he captured under unusual circumstances, If the Missouri people demand, as is their custom. to be showed. Murphy calls them antlers, and he knows the ami maj was mountain sheep, because in theifirst place 1t certainly was a sheep, and in the second place he discovered it in the mountains. .....
 He brought his bleeding trophy into camp one day and the miners Osten- sibly so.icitous of his welfare, over whelmed him with measures of pre- caution If the Indians discovered that a mountain sheep had been killed by a white man they would massacre every body in the camp Tradition says that several scores of Mexicans who worked the Ajo mines several hundred years ago and the miners there now. supple mented the tradition for the benefit of Tenderfoot Murphy, with an assertion that the massacre was the result of one of the Mexicans killing a moun- tain sheep.
 That was enough to frighten Mur- phy. who in reality had shot and killed, though by mere chance. a do- mestic goat which had strayed from camp. The miners intensified his un- easiness by declaring that the killing .e t,i, yha ty, x,inla finp of the laws of the nation, which are seeking to prevent the extinction of mountain sheep. and a detection of the offense meant a life-time in Yuma, fl the offender were fortunate enough to escape the Indians and lHching.
 Murphy was terrified when he pu, the story that he had not shot the "mountain sheep" but had frightened it out of tree. It jumped straight ur in the air 200 feet, he declared, and falling. it had broken it's neck. Mur- phy read a story of that kind once.
 Captain Huie came to the rescue of the frightened tenderfoot and agreed tt help him out of the country before tho suspicious of the Indians or United States authorities were aroused. Mur' phy packed his "antlers" in one bos and packed two other similar boxes for decoy. He crept out at night and rode hurriedly by with his boxes tt Gila Bend. The captain arranged Il with the engineer so Murphy rode 1T his cab until he reached the New Mex leo line. to avoid the territorial author ities. and he returned to St. Louis tho most frightened and apathetic tender foot that has ever yentured in the wi.ds of sanguinary Arizona.

WHEN A SHEETS A GOAT

A funny story comes from the A1o mining district. of the tribulations of a The Ajo camp is after the old type of mining camps that made early history for Arizona, Nevada and California. but which are now almost thing of the past, so that when D. Murphy, wealthy young man of St. Louis. in search of adventures in the west which would break in on his state of ennui. accepted an invitation to spend several weeks with friend at the Ajo camp he was all expec- tancy. When he arrived at the camp few weeks ago, witnessed horny handed miners in all their western pie turesqueness and assimulated much of their vernacular. he felt sure that a fond dream of life in the wild west was about to be realized.
 Murphy's friend is Captain R. w. Huie. auditor of the Arkansas rail- road, but heavily interested in mining at Ajo and camped there for time. Huie had been in Arizona some time when his friend arrived, had been hazed and was thoroughly accustomed to the ways of western character. He meant that his friend should go through the mill, and he did. He never knew that the miners were making

HINT TO BILL COLLECTORS. - Recorder Jobs spent meet of the day yesterday filing bills for the council to consider at its next regular meeting on Monday night. This Is as 1t should be and he is only sorry that more bills were not filed. His grief is not that the city does not have enough to pay, but that people to whom the city Is indebted and who must be paid are not more ardent in pressing their claims at an early day. The rules are that all bills must be filed by noon of the first day in the month so the re- corder can look dhem up and arrange for their consideration at the regular meeting which takes place Nbe first Monday night in each month and which sometimes happens to be the first of the month. Many people for get this and come rushing in at the eleventh hour with their hands full of bills. sometimes while the council is in session. The recorder. of course. being good kind man generally accepts them and tries to get them before the council, but 1t makes extra labor for him and for that body. Money is a very cheap commodity in these days of prosperity and of course nobody wants to be bothered with a great deal Of 1t, but those who have money com ing to them should be considerate enough to come in early and take it away.
