sketch of Her Life.

Mrs. Grant, whose maiden name was
Julia Dent, was born in st. Louis in 1926
and was the daughter OF Frederick and
Ellen Wrenshall Dent. She was married
to General, then Captain Grant, in 1S4S.
During the civil war Mrs. Grant was with
the general much of the time and remained
as near as possible to him when he was
campaigning. She saw her husband twice
inaugurated as president and accompanied
him on his journey around the world.
AS mistress OF the White House she gave
literally to all charitable institutions in
the city.
Four children were born to her-three
sons and one daughter-all of whom are
living. Miss Nellie. the daughter who be-
came the wife Of Algernon Sartoris in
1874. has lived in Washington with her
mother for several years. Frederick Dent
Grant, the Oldest. son, is in the army and
two other sons, Jesse and Ulysses Sherman,
live at San Diego, Cal.
During recent years, since General
Grants death, Mrs. Grant had spent most
Of her winters in this city. living at 2111
Q street, while during the summer she
usually stayed at Saratoga, Manchester by
the-Sea and other popular resorts until the
last two summers, when she resided with
Ont
She also made several visits to her sons
In California.
She was of domestic temperament and
devoted most of her time to her home and
children. She cared little for society and
always avoided public notice as much as
possible.
Her devotion to her husband was re-
markable, ard during the latter's .unsuc-
cessful years before the civil war, and
when his fortune was swept away shortly
before his death, Mrs. Grant always bore
herself bravely and was an inspiration to
him.
For several years Mrs Grant had been 80
feeble that 1t was impossible for her to
accept social engagements She suffered
from rheumatism and, was compelled to
walk with a cane or with the assistance
of an attendant She was 76 years OF age
at the time OF her death.

HAS CASH TO SPARE
Surplus Grows Steadily in spite
of slump In silver
vnIues


MEXICO, Dec. 14-In Sc N'et rdget
Of income and expense to " :, he
finance minister makes a full =.
Of the state Of trade and revenue
fected by the fall in tho price Of siivS
He estimates the total revenue for thu
ensuing fiscal year at 900 and dis
bursements at SCI, ,5s7 ,O79, showing an ex-
cess Of nearly 4S62. 600.
Last years actual surplus was over
SO, 900 900. but the minister is always most
conservative in his estimates. The actual
accumulated surplus on hand in July last
was s26 100000 in silver and $4,000 900 In
gold, and II is the possession Of this sur
plus that gives strength to the financial
position.
In his comments on the budget the min
lister says. after referring to the depres-
sion in silver and its adverse influences on
the countrys revenue:
1t is true that the economical situation
OF the country has been suddenly con-
fronted by a danger which threatens TO
check for some time It's growing pros
perity, but seeing that we cannot forecast
the duration or intensity of this recent oc-
currence, the wisest course for the pres
ent seems to be TO content ourselves with
leaving a wider margin than usual be-
tween future disbursements and revenue
without being influenced by an eXagger-
ated spirit of dependency.

STRIKE DRAGS WEARlLY ON
MarseiIIes Port Workers Fail to OBJ
tain General support from
other Trades.

PARIS, Dec. H.-Although the strike at
Marseilles has now lasted for three weeks
no serious disturbances have yet occurred.
Last night few isolated groups Of strik-
ers attempted to wreck some bakeries, but
the prompt arrival OF the police quickly re-
stored order. Four arrests were made.
The strike CT bakers is far from general,
only 400 out of 1000 having refused to work.
All kilograms received from Marseilles re-
port the city as tranquil. Contrary to the
usual Sunday custom, there was much &C
tivity today on the quays and docks, where
nonunion laborers are working under mill
tary protection. The Marseilles correspond
ent OF the Temps say that the general strike
movement is regarded locally as failure.

BERLIN Dec. 14.-Durlng the debate on
the third reading of the tariff bill in the

Last night DR.. Pasche, national liberal.

These remarks were:
We expect that the government will
undertake a thorough going revision of all
treaties containing the most favored ma
tion advantages. We have absolutely no
occasion to concede any such thing to such
nations as arc glad to take what we give
other countries without making us any
concession in return. The United States
has introduced the Limitation of the most
favored nation clause. we have every
reason to act in precisely the same manner.

Maintaining its own jurisdiction in the
matter OF railroad taxation and overruling
all OF the protests to the contrary which
have been filed, the Board OF Review has
fixed assessments as shown in the above
table upon those portions Of the holdings
of the various roads which have been in
controversy.
These figures apply only to the proper
ties Of the railroad companies construed
by them as being comprised within their
respective rights-of-way and previously as
sessed by the State Board Of Equalization
and are inclusive Of all personality in
cluded within the shops and headquarters
properties. Discussing the question Of as
sessment OF railroads and the method fol-
lowed by the board in determining Its ac-
tion, one of the members said:
How the Figures Were Made.
Each OF the cases was considered sepa-
rately, and in turn each OF the protests
against the jurisdiction OF the board was
overruled. The figures submitted by the
Real Estate exchange in the various docu-
ments presented in its behalf were re-
garded by the board as altogether too high,
and this assessment was made in an en-
deavor to arrive at the true value Of the
property. The board took into considera-
tion the opinions of the experts for the
railroad companies as presented in their
testimony before the courts, but In doing
so made all reasonable allowance for the
exaggeration in those estimates which
would be natural under the circumstances
and which must have had some influence
upon that testimony; also making allow
ance for the natural increase in the value
Of the respective properties since 1894 and
as to the value of franchises, taking into
consideration the earnings OF the prop
erty.
Two Small Reductions.
| 'In two cases the board has reduced the
| figures of the tax commissioner-the rail-
roads affected having no depot grounds
in Omaha and merely making connection
with the terminal facilities OF the other
companies.
| I'm addition to the assessments already
| mentioned the board has raised the per-
sonal property return OF the Union Pacific
company in its own schedule, upon the item
| of machinery, stores, supplies, materials,
etc. from $125,OO0 to S10O0,000. On this
item there can be no contention as to the
| question of jurisdiction, as the material
| upon which the assessment is placed is In
the shop buildings and headquarters and
manifestly outside the right-of-way."
The session of the board on Saturday
| evening continued until midnight and all
| Of the citations as to contemplated in
| creases have been finished. There is still
large accumulation Of minor applications
! for reductions on real estate and personal
| property assessments. These will be con-
sidered this morning and the board ex-
poets to adjourn finally this afternoon.

He HAD BRIBE MONEY
GRAND RAPIDS CITY ATTORNEY
LAYS BARE SCANDAL
He Had $4,000 as Doodle Fund.
He Says, but He Insists That
None of 1t Was Spent
for bribery.

GRAND RAP1DS, Mich, March 4-Ex-
City Attorney Liant K. Salisbury and
Stilson V. Mac Leod this1afternoon plead
ed guilty in the United States circuit
court to the charge of having violated the
United States banking law. 1t was charg-
ell that they obtained something more than
$4,000 from the Old National bank upon
fraudulent checks. The money was aft
erwaros paid back.
Nae Leod was formerly teller of the
bank and manager of the local clearing
house The discovery Of the crime came
as an outcome of the municipal water
supply scandal.
Salisbury, in entering his plea of guilty,
read a statement of his banking trou-
bles and his connection with the water
scandal. He says that he became in
volved in debt by stock and grain specu-
lations, and was extended financial ac-
cornmodation at the bank by S. V. Mac
Leod. Later, he felt obligated to assist
Mac Leod, and they resorted to further
speculation, increasing the Indebtedness
$4,000 through Overdrafts.
In 1900 he met r. A. Cameron, the al
legged water contract promoter, and plan
ned to get through him $23ec0 to settle
the bank accounts.
He declared that it was never his pur-
pose to use any of this money for the
bribery, and that he did not even prom
ise Cameron a contract from the city.
He later secured $4,000, which was SEM
here as a doodle" 4und.
