SHOWS BIG DEFICIT.

Burden of SIG 100000 Shortage.
LONDON, April 20. = Widespread
Interest in the presentation OF the
Z budget today was evidenced by the
crowded state of the House Of Com
mons, Joseph Chamberlain was pres
ent to hear his son. Austen Chamber,
lain. Chancellor Of the Exchequer,
make his statement, as was Mrs.
& Chamberlain The former Colonial
Secretary, whose first public appear
ance it was since his return from
abroad, met with a great reception.
Austen Chamberlain opened his
speech by expatiating on the Difficult
ties Of his position; the great wave of
rosperity having spent its force.
The markets in which great Britain
heretofore had been supreme were in
creasingly threatened.
I The revenue for 10000 was S13,
$4,000 below the estimate, while the
expenditure exceeded the estimate by
$15o35, 900. The repeal Of the duty
on wheat had been more costly than
anticipated, without affordinS the re-
lief expected. The net total deficit
for the year was s27,O75,OOO Mr..
Chamberlain proposed to realize from
unclaimed Government stock $4,000
900 He refused to suspend the sink
( ing fund.
Mr. Chamberlain estimated the ex-
penditure for 1904O5 at S714.lOO,OO0,
and the revenue at SG95 300 900, leav-
ing a deficit of S19,1000OO to be made
up He proposed to increase the in

Acents per pound on tea; readjust-
SsA ent of the tobacco duties. imposing
sss3 cents On tobacco stripped before
sshported; additional duty of twelve
Gents on cigars and an additional 25
8cents on foreign cigarettes, and to
raise the moisture limit to 32 per cent.
and introduce three or four different
rates in the drawbacks, which he hop
ed would increase Great Britain's to.
bacco export trade, especially to the
colonies.
The net gain by these tobacco
changes was estimated at S2,1oo.OO0
The increase in the tea duty Will
amount to $40, 100000. bringing the TO-
tai estimated revenue up to $11S,OoO,-
900, or a surplus of $3,65O.000
Mr. Chamebrlains announcements
of the increase in the income tax,
which would give $4,000, 900 addition
al revenue, and in the tea duty were
both received with loud protests.
On motion to increase the tea tax
the Liberal leader, Sir Henry Camp
bell Bannerman congratulated the
Chancellor on the ludicity of his
speech He said he had admirably
discharged a difficult task, notwlth-
standing that he had found himself
in a somewhat incongruous position,
but not the position he held. nor his
fiscal as pirations, which he did not
conceal The Liberal leader referred
to the greatly increased expenditures
of recent years, and said it was The
first duty Of the House Of Commons
ito check this extravaganza.
Mr. Richie, the former Chancellor
of the ENcnequer, also congratulated
Mr.. Chamberlain. but he defended his
estimates of last year, which. he
said were based upon expected pros
perity, the failure of which was not
foreseen.
The House, after consid erab1e dis.
i cussion, adopted the increased tea
and tobacco duties by majorities of
~ adm "a respectively.

A SPORTING PARSCN.
The Sequel to Wager Laid on the
Life Of Napoleon.

In 1912 an action was brought by
Rev Robert Gilbert against Sir
Mark Skies, and it arose from bet
made between the parties upon the
life Of Napoleon Bonapartc
Sir Mark ten years before the ac-
ton had invited some friends to
dinner, the reverend gentleman be-
ing one Of the number. Politics be-
came the subject Of conversation,
and the opinion was freely express
cd by some of the party that Ma
poleon was in critical situation at
that time and that attempts would
be made 10 asyasslnate him.
This view was held by the host,
who said that he considered Bona
parties life in SUCH danger that if
any one would give him 100 guincas
he would pay him a guinea a day
during Napolcon's lifetime.
Upon this Rev Gilbert. an the
language rs the defendants coun~
sci put it, "of common five guinea
be;t0r on race course. nailed him
with 'Will you, Sir Mark I'll take
you---donc' ="
The sporting parson gave 100
gulneas TO Sir Mark, who for con-
siderable time paid hin various
Sums Of money on account Of the
wager, amounting in all to $3.50.
Then for five or six years the
guinea a day payments ceased, the
haronet feeling no doubt that if Be-
napartc was not dead he ought to
be, and Gilbert, who, it may be men
toned, enjoyed living worth some
$4,000 Il year, brought this action
against Sir Mark 10 enforce the f,
wager and sought to recover from /
him further $1,000.
The plaintiffs counsel contcndcd .
that, although it might be objected .
that wagers on the life Of men were
immoral. yet the laws Of England
such uagcrs.
The Judges did not seem to have
laid mlrI stress upon the question
whether this wager tended TO i'm
peril the safety Of the state. He
asked the jury TO consider whether
the bet had been seriously made, and
If II were serious bet whether in
all the circumstances the plaintiff
had not been paid enough money
by the defendant. The jury took
Ihc hint and gave verdict against

HOUSE PROTESTS
Against Holding Inaugural Ball at
Capitol as Undemocratic.


Washington, Dec. 20.--The House
of Representatives Yesterday emphati-
cslly disapproved the proposition to
hold the inaugural ball in the Capitol
building The resolution offered by
Mr.. Morrill, was voted down, the re-
suit being to delay action until the
next District Of Columbia day in
January.
During the debate Mr.. Baker IN.
Y. said that the custom of mixing
up public duties with social func-
tions' was a wrong one, il was the
duty of the House to oppose that func-
tion regardless of the fact that it had
been custom 100 years or more.
What he objected to, he said, was that
of few individuals getting together
for their own social prestige" 1t
created class distinction and was I'M
democratic, he said.
Mr.. Thayer ( Mass, said the only
place where the ball could be held
with regal splendor was the pension
building l want to know" he en-
quired, in whose fertile mind origi-
mated the idea of turning the Capitol
into dance hall or ball hall for a
single night" 1t would" he said,
be beneath the dignity of the Ameri-
can people to hold the ball in the
Capitol.
Mr.. Baker put the House in an up
roar when he said the object of the
ball was to give opportunity to the
wealth TO parade their jewels, their
gowns and their finely so that it can

Mrs. Tom Jones attended the Presi
dents ball and that she was arrayed

Mr. Baker convulsed the House by
referring to Mr.. Thayer's use of the
word regal. 81 am opposed" he
said, to anything being done in thii
country in regal, kingly manner
He wanted it done in democratic
and simple manner. He then turned
his attention to the President and sale
he was impressed that the creates
authority in advocacy of the simple
life should have such ardent friend

inaugurated in a regal manner. "

INDIFFERENCE AND LAZINESS

The Hon. Samuel B. Oapen sug-
gests that a fine should be imposed
on all men who neglect to do their
duty with the ballot. Well, quite a
snug little sum could have been col
lected in that way at the recent city
election. No less than 42,937 names
Of men who were registered as voters
were unchecked on the closing of the
polls at 4 p IN. Only about sixty
two per cent of the male voters who
were registered took the trouble to GO
to the voting booths to select munich
pal officers for the ensuing year. a
very discoursging showing that. If a
fine of 50 was collected from every
man who could vote and did not,
more than $500. 900 would have been
raised Of course, all that could be
done by fines would be to get the
voters to go to the polls. There could
BE- no way Of preventing them from
voting blanks il they saw fit If the
imposition of fine is thought to be
too radical step, why could not the
New York example be followed,
and voters be given an advantage
over non-voters on the jury list; that
is, no man who voted coulu be drawn
for jury service until the names of a
the non voters on the list were ex-
hausted 1t is very probable that
some proportion of those who were
registered and did not vote were pre-
vented by sickness or by unavoidable
absence from tie city; bat the great
bulk of the almost thirty eight per
cent of non-voters were shirEers who
failed to vote owing to either their
laziness or lack of interest in munich
pal affairs, or combination of both.

ORANGE 90 UNITY COURT.

Last week was mostly occupied
with the trial of George Lane vs.
Central Vermont Railway Company,
an action on the case for alleged neg
ligence of the defendant IN allow ing
an up-bound freight train of forty fl We
Randolph village some ten TO fifteen
minutes about l | O'Clock on the even
ing of July 81, 1904, whereby the
plaintiff claimed an accident happened
to him by his horse dsshing into the
cars Oh Pleasant street crossing and
severely iDjuring himself, his horse
and his wagon. Defendant 6 evidence
tended to show that the train was
stopped at the station only three min
utes at the longest. as orders were
there given the engineers to proceed
on to East Granville and there wait
the coming of the down passenger
train. Without introducing much
other evidence the defendant made a
motion for IA verdict because of con-
tributory negligence by the plaintiff.
The court, after considerable argu-
ment and full consideration, decided
to grant the motion, holding that the
plaintiff, BY driving at a high speed
along Merchants Row without look
ing or listening and assuming the
Pleasant street crossing to be open,
had contributed to the injuries sus-
tanned and therefore could not recover,
relying on the rule laid down by the
Supreme Court in the locally famous

This being the last civil case for
trial the Jurors were excused until
Monday afternoon at two when was
begun the trial of State vs.. Edwin

charging breach of the peace. Gui-
SEPT Garibaldi, an italian, pleaded
guilty of an attempt to commit rape
upon Williamstown girl and was
sentenced to be confined in State s
prison not more than six nor less than
five years. The Louannis case will
probably be the only case tried aud

The assistant judges of county court
will soon have some important duties
added to their office. The appoint
ment of license commissioners and
the oversight of them while i'll office
means much toward the efficient ad
ADMINISTRATION of the law. The COM
missiouers are not to be quite so much
the whole thing as under the present
law but on their honesty, indepen-
dence, and ability will depend much,
and the men by whom they are APP
pointed must uss care. For some
reasons il is to be regretted that the
judges are to be mixed in the admin
istration of the law from other than
judicial standpoint, but there is
this consolation - that the side
Judges will be somewhat more i'm
portant officials than they now are.
They will not be figure heads in this
matter of appointment, but will be
the whole thing.
