LINCOLN. March Especial The
principal appropriation bills that have been
introduced aggregate $S,4s5,SSO. This does
not represent all the appropriations asked
for, as there are several other bills carry
ing smaller amounts for various purposes.
1t is safe TO say, however. that the grand
total will be within the 81 600 600 mark by
a good margin. Last session the grand
total was S2.S75, ,2S9.51. One bill was in
troduced today by Thorpe OF Garfield ap-
propriating 100000 for the installation OF
twine plant at the state penitentiary,
but this bill is not included inN the list, as
there is little prospect OF its passage.
One remarkable feature OF the deficiency
bill, which. however, Is among the less ex-
tensiye ones, is that only three items reach
the $1,000 mark. The largest and principal
item is $4,000 for the Collins Woodruff
Printing company Of Lincoln and the other
two larger ones are $1,000 bills for tho
State Joul nal company.

Thrifty Suuauderers

When Napoleon entered Genoa in
1905, the rich patricians Of the city
exerted themselves to gain the favor
Of the conqueror by hll sorts Of fat
tering attentions. The most elaborate
of these was banquet patterned after
the famous one offered by Antony to
Cleopatra.
The tables were set in an artificial
garden, floating on pontoons, which
were towed out to sea during the prog
ress of the feast. At the conclusion OF
the banquet-again in imitation of An,
tony and Cleopatra-all the costly golf
and silver plate was flung into the seq.
This little tribute Of honor to the enl
peror was not so expensive rs it seem.
ed, for the floating garden was sur.
rourded with nets, ard the plate was
subsequently recovered.
