Russia's Financial capabiIity

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Oct. S.-Greg-
DRY Vilenkin, financial agent of the
Russian embassy, today gave a long
statement of the financial condition of
his country. He said:
1.-THE war expenses of Russia from
the beginning of the campaign until
the end of the year may be placed at
from 625,000,000 to $4,000, 900 roubles.
With regard to the means for the COW
ering of this expenditure unforeseen
by the budget, it must be regard
ed that the reserve in the government
treasury by Jan. 1, 1904, consisted of
$4,000, 600 roubles, and after the COW
ering of all outstanding expenditures,
according to the budget of 1906, it
amounted to 10000, 600 roubles, to
which sum there must be added 1885,
600, 900 roubles of economies realized by
the curtailing of already sanctioned
expenditures for the current year, also
250,000, 900 roubles issued from the is
suance of per cent treasury bonds,
and 100000 roubles from the 3.6
per cent treasury bills. The govern
ment treasury thus has at it's dis
posal zoo, 900. 900 roubles, which is quite
sufficient for the covering of the above
expenditure without applying to any
new loans"

ADMITS MONTANA AS
EPISCOPAL DIOCESE
General Convention Receives
Greetings From the Cana
dian Church

BOSTON, Mass, Oct. 8.-The greet
ings of the Anglican church in Canada
were transmitted to the Episcopal gen
eral convention at session today by
Ri. Rev. Charles Hamilton, bishop of
Ottawa; Ri. Rev. James Carmichael,
bishop coadjutor of Montreal, and Dean
Evans, also of Montreal. The fund
raised by che woman's auxiliary for
the board OF missions now amounts to
$4,000, the largest in the church's
history.
A member of the Nebraska delega-
ton was the first to bring before the
house of delegates a proposal to per-
nit the election of suffragan bishops
In large dioceses or in localities where
there are large numbers of colored
people or persons of foreign extraction.
The matter came up in the form of an
amendment to a canon bearing on the
election of bishops. It was referred to
q committee.
Gen. J. H. Stotzenberg, of Indianapo-
lis, introduced a resolution reducing the
membership of the house of deputies
by one-half, each diocese to be repre-
sented by two clerical and two lay
deputies. This resolution was also re-
ferred to a committee. A committee
to which a proposal to place the navy
and army chaplains under the bishop
of Washington was submitted reported
against the plan and was discharged.
The house of bishops voted to admit
Montana as a diocese. 1t is understood
that the next triennial convention is
likely to be held in Richmond, Va. The
house concurred with the house of dep
uties in discharging the committee on
change of name of the church.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL
Few People Know How Useful 1t Is In
Preserving Health and Beauty

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal is
the safest and most efficient disinfectant
and purifier in nature, but few realize its
value when taken into the human system
for the same cleansing purpose
Charcoal is a remedy that the more Won
take Of it the better. 1t is not a drug at
all, but simply absorbs the gases and i'm
purities always present in the stoma oh
and intestines and carries them out of the
system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking, or after eating onions
and other odorous vegetables
Charcoal effectually clears and improves
the complexion, it Whitens the teeth and
further acts as natural and eninently
safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; it dis
lnfects the mouth and throat from the poi
son of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one form
or another. but probably the best char
coal and the most for the money is in

Liabilities Exaggerated

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Oct. S.-Col. ].
K. Sullivan, receiver for the Aultman
company, of Canton, Ohio, referring to
a published statement that the total
liabilities of the concern would aggre-
gate $4,000,O00, said today:
1.-THE statement, 1 think, is mislead-
ing. The direct liabilities will prob
ably not exceed $1,00O,00O. The COM
pany will be liable for the debts of
branch concerns at Akron, Ohio; Cedar
Rapids, Iowa, and Chicago, only to the
extent of what their assets fail to liqui-

will be called upon to make good only
those obligations that the branch COM
