HOW THE EXPENSES ARE DIVIDED.
The appropriation for the Controllers depart
ment this year is as follows:

To be technically correct, there should be
added this the expense Of conducting the
Chamberlains office which is considered a part
Of the Department Of Finance. Mr.. keenan, gets
$4,000 year for looking pleasant and making
reports and this item added 10 the S199.305
brings the total cost OF conducting the Finance
Department under Controller Coer up to

Controller Coler carried in his department last
year seven expert accountants whom he paid
S25 a day; three assistant expert accountants
at SIS day. one at s12 30 day. five at $40 a
day. two at Ss day. at 81 30 day. two
at s6 a day, five at s. day and two at 81

then begins the roll Of assistant accountants, -
OF these he had three az Sl2 a day, eight at $40
a day. six at Ss day. at 81 30 a day, seven

will be this formidable list of high priced "ex-
pert accountants" assistants TO expert account

MR.. COLER'S Defence.
Controller Coler said last night that the people
who complained Of excessive cost in the opera
ton OF his department did not realize the enor-
nous amount Of work that the consolidation had
entailed. Under the new charter ninety separate
municipalities had been brought together. and
II had been necessary TO go over the books Of all
of them. In many of them the books had been
In a badly muddled condition
AS the work had advanced there had been con-
stant reductions in the number Of his force
until now he had less than half the number OF
men that he had time employed. The
regular appropriation for his department this
year was $4,000 less than IL s3ld been last year
De now had only one accountant who received
80 day. whereas he had at one time had eight
az that salary. II would be impossible TO re-
ouce his force any further az present, because
of the amount Of work that would be made
necessary by the Charter Revision bill now be-
fore the legislature Albany.
He was compelled 10 pay high salaries, said
Mr. Coler. in order TO get men who were compe-
teEt TO do the work.
The legislature at Albany, Mr.. Coler charged,
was responsible for nine-tenths Of the increase
In the expenses Of the city, and under the pro-
posed revised charter the cost would be more
rather than less. II should also he remembered
ne said, that the budget included interest and
bond accounts made necessary by improvements
demanded by the people. Mr. Coler said he
would be glad 10 have his office investigated.

Prior TO consolidation when the Charter Com
nnssioners were making their estimates Of the
probable expense Of running the various city
departments they arrived at the conclusion that
the Finance Department, Of which Controller
Coler is the head. could be run for s2oOooo
year and that the entire city budget should not
exceed S60000000 a year. II was conceded that
in the first year after consolidation the mixed
up and complex character of the accounts Of the
various municipalities might increase the budget
as compared with normal years, but il was fig
ured that Se0000.000 was outside estimate.
The budget for 1901 calls for an expenditure OF

A PIKE COUNTY MIRACLE.

Velpen, Ind, June 17.-Williaih O..
B. Sullivan, farmer of this place. and
who is brother of ex-Representa-
tive Sullivan, of Pike and Dubois
counties, has had a remarkable ex-
perience recently.
Mr.. Sullivan is 40 years of age,
and has been n citizen of Pike county
for 30 years. For two years he has
suffered much with Kidney Trouble
and rheumatism. His shoulders and
side were very sore and stiff, and his
back was so bad he could hardly
straighten up at all. He had palpita-
ton of the heart, and n smothering
which was very distressing. lie used
three boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills,
and is as strong and well as ever he
was. He pronounces his cure mir
acle. Mr.. Sullivan's statement of his
case is startling:
! "A month ago 1 was cripple. To-
day can do hard days work every
day, and have not single ache or
pain"
Dodd's Kidney Pills have done some
wonderful cures in Indiana, but none
more miraculous than that in the
case Of Mr.. Sullivan.

Teach a horse what you want him

Plaster scattered on the stable floor

Don't put your horses feet in un-

You can influence the shape of a

trimmed iii proper shape, the same as
you can trim a growing twig.
Feed your horse as near the ground
as possible; when eating low down
more saliva becomes mixed with the
food, aiding digestion.
Keep you, horse feeling good by
proper food and care and he will
more than repay you for the little
extra time you give him.
Have your horses teeth dressed oc-
sasionally; a little attention given to
this will prevent so-called "side-
driver" or "puller." 1t prevents sore

Tie your horse so that he can lie
down comfortably at night. 1t is a
practice with some grooms to tie a
horse so he can't lie down, to save
work in cleaning him the next morn
ing.
Don't bring your horse in hot from

rub him thoroughly dry. A slow jog
or walk for short distance before
unhitching will cool him off quicker
and save much work.-Cor. California

All that region to the north of the

around to and beyond old Fort William,

French. 1t was their new countryside

their belief was strengthened and sup
ported by the tales of the Indians, that

was vast salt STA. 1t is hardly pos
sible in these days to understand how
little they knew Of that region. They
talked about northwest passage to

it, but they wrote learned and laborious
treatises, and spoiled many valuable,
reams of paper, and made very many
amusing volumes, in their efforts to.

ucts, the peculiar surroundings of
many of them make it almost impos-
sible for them to combine in such a
way as to cover the whole field. They
should organize. The educative eff
feet of organization and consultation
alone make it very desirable. Very
many good things may come from
connected action By all means let
us have an organization in every
county and ultimately in every militia
district.
But do not expect simple organiza-
ton to remedy all the evils of the
present condition.
We must get at the root of the mat
ter The monster evil is debt. Farm
ers have a habit of going in debt,
They seem to feel as though it We're a
necessity. Many of them study more
how to get in than how to keep out.
They seem to forget that "The bor-
rover is servant of the lender" When
you go in debt you go into voluntary
slavery You are no longer your own.
You belong to the man you owe. How
many of you have paid cash for your
fertilizers. If you bought them on
time. you belong to the fertilizer
trust. Then how many are running
accounts for supplies or have Dor
rowed money from the banks. Many
belong to several masters. You are
no longer free and independent
man. Your masters are fully aware
of this Here is the root of nearly all
the ills that afflict the farming inter.
ests.
We need to be free. To own our.
selves and our crops. There is nc
good excuse for such state OF
things. We can live at home. We can
so manage as to own our crops when
we gather them. There are so many
crops that bring ready money that
we can keep free from debt if we
will. If we do this, then we can talk
about controlling prices. The great
need of the southern farmer is indi
vidual independence. Then the next
thing is getting nearer to the con,
sumer.-Southern Cultivator.

A naturalist pleads that farmers
refrain from killing the ordinary
chicken hawk, explaining that each
one destroys nearly one thousand
mice, rats and moles each year. From
the experience of most farmers who
have attempted to creep up close
enough to get good shot at chick.
en- hawk, the sympathy would seem
little superfous. There seems to be
another argument in favor of the life
of the chicken hawk, too. If he did
not thin out the chicks around the
country little during the early sum-
mer, possibly the market would be
hopelessly glutted with poultry along
about the holiday season, but this is
sort of hog-cholera argument
