IS SAVING MONEY.
Uncle Sans Finances in Splendid
Condition-Receipts Exceed Dis
bursements by %7O,OOO,OOO.

Washington, July 1.-The COMPARE
tive statement of the government
receipts and expenditures for the fis-
cal year ended Saturday shows an ex-
cess of receipts over disbursements
of approximately $76,OOO,OOO. This is
only about $4,0O0,O0O below the esti-
mate made by congress at the begin
ming of the last session in December,
1900, at which time the secretary esti-
mated the receipts from customs
would be about $245, 900, 000.- The final
figures will probably fall short of this
amount by $6,o0o,O0o.
The receipts from internal revenue
sources were estimated last Decem-
Der at $300,00O,O0O, while the final fig
ures will show over 1907, 100000. lie
receipts from miscellaneous sources
were estimated at 34,6O0,OOO. These
will also show a considerable in
crease. The expenditures for the year
will be 100000 in excess of the es-
innate. During the fiscal year 1900
the surplus revenues amounted to
nearly $24,O00,00O, while the surplus
of the present year will reach $780,
100000, and possibly a still higher fig
ure.
In view of the fact that the reve-
nue. reduction bill passed at the last
session of congress will go into op-
Grafton at the beginning of the fiscal
year, to-day, treasury officials esti-
mate that the loss from this source
will be about $4O,OO0,OOO. It is not
expected, however, that the net re-
duction from this source will reach
| that amount, as the officials look for
ward to year of even greater pros
perity than the one just closing. If
this expectation is realized, the Off
Gals believe that the revenues from
internal sources alone will be not
greater than $3O,000,OOO below the fig
ures of the present year.
It is also confidently expected that
the receipts from customs will mate
rally increase during the coming IL
months, SO that, notwiths landing the
reduction made in the last revenue
bill, the total receipts from all
sources may even reach or exceed
those of the fiscal year of 1901.

A machine that will do the work of
30 expert mathematician is being con-
structed by the government in its
scientific instrument shop in Washing
ton. It is to be an improvement on an
instrument in use in the bureau of the
coast survey which has charge of calcu-
1ating the tides. The machine now in
use does wonderful things. There is a
little crank on the lower left-hand side,
and at simple turn of that crank the
machine will give the answer to prob
lem involving 10 separate calculations.

tions of tidal variations.

A Strenuous Infant.

In pretty cottage on the lake shore
an ex-soldier was reclining in his easy
chair, his feet up in the air and
fragrant Havana between his lips,
watching his boy strutting around in
imitation of his soldierly gait. The
mother took the would-be soldier from
his play to the nursery to be tucked
into bed. Ready for bed, he knelt down
beside his sister, as usual, to say his
prayer, but the soldier spirit was fer
menting within him.
"Now I lay me down to sleep,
pray''-he conned along, but could go
no further.
This might do for the white-robed
cherub by his side, but it was altogeth-
er too "soft' for boy that would be
soldier.
He felt that he had been imposed
upon when they used an effort to make
him do as girls did
= Jumping to his feet, his eyes flashing
at his mother, he exclaimed: "Mans
don't say this!" And he didn't.-Mil.

KILLED. BY LIGHTNING.
Thnuderbolt Strikes Pier In Chlcaeo
Dealing Death to Eleven Young
. 80 -. z yc,.y, = -, = -: 80 jss

Chicago July ELEVEN boys were
killed by a bolt of lightning Monday
afternoon. They had been fishing on
the pier near Montrose boulevard and
had taken refuge under piling. An
other was injured so badly that he
will die.
Willie Anderson, the only person to
escape death, was taken from under
the heap of bodies with his legs and
back paralyzed by the shock, but it is
thought he will recover. That portion
of the pier covered by the rude zinc
roof was SO small that the victims
had been crowded together in heap.
They were pressed so close together
that all had been killed by the one
thunderbolt as by current in cleo
trocution. The Anderson boy was
in such a position that he failed to re-
celve the full force of the charge.
The faces of the dead were blackened
slmost beyond recognition and the
bodies were SCARED and scared from
head to foot.
The catastrophe is unprecedented
so far as recorded lightning fatalities
are concerned. In Chicago, so far as
eN-Chief Swenie's memory. reaches,
there has been no one instance where
more than one or two persons were
Killed by single bolt. In the early
months of the worlds fair four per-
sons were struck by lightning stroke
at the Grant monument in Lincoln
park, but only one was killed.
In "Haydn's Book of Dates" the
largest fatality recorded is from a
bolt which killed nine persons. That
was in 1919 at a church in the Alps.

lives near the Milwaukee railroad
tracks in Minneapolis, was run over by
three heavy railroad engines, and yet

girl crossed the tracks and started to
return. just as she approached the
main track she was struck by three
passenger engines that were backing
down to the railroad shops for the
night. The little child was thrown in
the middle of the tracks, and with the
rarest presence of mind laid there mo-

over her frail little body. Only few
bruises was the result.

how SUBPOENA WAS SERVED.
What Happened to . Woman When
She Applied to = Lawyer
Friend for Advice.

A young woman for some time q
guest at the Waldorf-Astoria is be-
ing joked numerically by her friends
for the way she allowed representa-
tive of the district attorneys Office to
serve summons on her. She had
known for weeks that she would be
wanted, and a man had been to her
hotel with a subpoena. This he had
not served, but had left with an eld-
erly cousin, relates the New York
Times.
When the cousin handed over tho
document to the young woman she
went to a legal acquaintance and
asked him how she could avoid re-
spending to the call. He answered
that she didn't have to go to court,
inasmuch as the service of the sub
poena was not made to her in per-
SON. he advised her to use her in
t1uence with a friend she had in the
! district attorneys Office, so that she
| would not be bothered with any more
| services. The friend whose good Of
fees were to be asked happened to be
high in the counsels of the chief
| criminal prosecutor, so high that he
sometimes prosecuted cases himself.
In the particular case wherein the
ness he was interested personally, so
much so that even his friendship for
her was overbalanced by his interest.
"You want me to get you excused,
do you?' he asked, when they had
met by arrangement in the hotel.
| eyes, I don't want the trouble and
publicity of going to court" was the
reply.
"Let me see the copy of your sub
poena," he suggested.
She handed it to him readily
enough. He looked it over and re-
turned it.
"Now, you'll let me out of this, will
you not?' she asked, smiling coax
ingly.
IT don't know that I can, but
WE'LL"
"But my lawyer" she interrupted,
"has told me don't have to go, any
way. The subpoena is no good. The
man who brought it did not give it to
me myself. I haven't been served
at all.''
"Pardon me, Miss -" said he,
with a grin, II just served you N.Y.

Entreaties followed. Then he was
abused for trickery. Finally they
separated, she very angry.

said.
