MINISTER OBLIGED TO
FIGHT FOR HIS SALARY
Welsh curate's Income Cut TO Dimen-
stons That Make His Case
Clerical Curio

O-CA4OcA
A remarkable story of clerical pow
. erty' comes from the Welsh village of
Trevor, near Llangollen, where the Gu
rate Of st. Mary s, the Rev. H. 7. Owen,
is faced with the problem Of living on
go year.
Mr.. Owen s income from the curacv
had originally been s75 a year, and
upon this he had brought up a large
family. The income is derived from
farms, left in years gone by in order
TO pay the salary Of the officiating
clergyman. Mr.. Owen has now been
more than thirty years in possession.
A few years ago, he says, a dead set
was made against hih, the Weather
section Of the congregation deserving
him to attend services In a neighboring
parish schoolroom. Others followed
their lead, until the preacher had all
but empty benches for audience.
Then the local sanitary authority re-
ported that the buildings upon the
farms from which he derived the great
ct part Of his income were unfit for
habitation, and the Bishop was per-
Suaded to seeuestrate the property.
"Thus at one blow said Mr.. Owen.
"my income was cut down TO ESQ per
annum. / brought an action against
the Bishop in the County Court, but the
Judge ruled that he had no jurisdic-
ton, and I was nonsuited. I have not
the means to carry the matter to a
higher court, and so, for time, I must
put up with what regard as injustice.
Ny living IL no longer a living; and,
although IL Is perfectly true that the
Bishop Of ST. Assph has offered me a
pension Of Els year IL I viii give UP
the church, this I must refuse to do in
Justice 20 my conscience and my God.
One can never tell what may result
from the agitation In favor Of Welsh
Disestabiishment; but surely my case is
an object lesson az 70 the necessity Of
doing something"

LARGE SUMS SPENT DAILY
BY TREASURY DEPARTMENT
Head of the Fiscal Agency Of the
People Handles Billions Each
Wear

The Treasury Department is the most
important branch of the Government next
to the State Department, writes ellison
Willets in LeSlie's Weekly. 1t is the
fiscal agency of the people. AT its head
is the Secretary of the Treasury, who, for
salary of $22 a day, is responsible Tor
the collecting and disbursing of million
and a half of dollars eevry day IN the
year, and for the custody all the time of
more than a billion dollars in cash and
bonds. The various Secretaries of the
last forty years have handled altogether
the incomprehensibel sum of $45, 000,-
100000. What is more, during all that
time less than a quarter of million dol
lars were lost in the Treasury Depart
ment.
During any one week Of the present
year the treasury officials expended more
than was required to maintain the entire
public service for the whole year of 1905.
The money collected by the treasury last
year, in round figures, was $540,000,oo0.
The total amount expended in the same
twelvemonth was $685., 100000. We spent
thus $40, 100000 more than we took in;
but full 100000 of the excess of ex-
penditure over revenue is accounted for
in the single check given in payment for
the Panama canal property.
The biggest bill collected by the treas
ury was $261, 100000 for customs; the
second largest bill collected was for $780,
10000 for internal revenue; then So,
100000 was taken in for the sale of pub
lie lands, and So, 100000 for various
small matters The largest bill paid in
the same time was $40. 100000 for pen
sions; then sl15,O00,000 for our army,
and s1o2, 600 900 for our navy. To In
dams there was paid little matter of
$1o,000,0o0; and for the interest on the
public debt $240O0,OOo. Finally, the
treasury expended 1856, 900, 900 for mere
"items.
If we count all the dollars paid out by
the treasury since Mr.. Roosevelt entered
the White House we find that the sum is
equal TO the sum of all the money in the
country at the present time, or about two
billions.

ARMY's wEALTHIEsT OFFICER
STATIONED At FORT MCINTOSH
Captain George H. Knox Has an Estate
of SEE, 200, 600 in His Own
RICH

Captain George H. Knox, commander
of Company D, Twenty-sixth Infantry,
stationed at Fort Mcintosh, Texas, is
the wealthiest officer in the United
States army. He is worth in his own
right sos, 100000, which was left to him
by his father, the late E. n. Knox, the
Eastern hat manufacturer who was well
known in business circles throughout
the country.
Captain Knox is in the army because
he likes the life of an army officer. His
fortune Of S25.000,0O0 is being looked
after by an uncle, and Captain Knox
does not worry his head about it. Cap
tain Knox is a graduate of West Point.
He saw service in the Philippines, and
from those islands he went to China,
where he was stationed until last No
vember, when he had his station changed
to Fort Mcintosh.
In dress and appearance Captain
Knox displays no evidence of his
wealth. He is modest and unassuming
and is a general favorite with the Off
GERS of this post He takes much in
terest in the athletic sports of the SOL
diers, and seems to get much enjoy
ment out of the life that he is leading.
He says that it gets pretty dull at this
remote border post at times, but that
he does not mind it. He has a special
liking for target practice and is one Of
the best shots at this post.
81 have no taste for business" Cap
tain Knox said, when asked why he did
not quit the army and give his personal
attention to his big fortune. fThe
army life has fascination for me which
I cannot resist. would rather be at
this out of the way post leading this
life. I"
Captain Knox says that he is in the
army to stay, and that his fortune of
$25, 100000 has no attraction for him.

GOOD RUN last WEEK.
But StOFIn Has Cut Down Shipments
and Hence Prices Are Firm


Kansas City Stock Yards, Nov. 20
There was q good run Of cattle yester-
day, but the storm has interfered with
the business today, and OF the mOder-
ate estimate OF $4,000 cattle for to
day, only three-fOurths had arrived
by noon The market continues firm
this week except on medium grades
OF short fed steers the same kind that
sold to IS lower last week they are
a shade lower this week also Nothing
extra prime has been here this week,
top yesterday $3.50, and best cattle
today at $6.25, with several sales at
1918 and upwards More good to
choice cattle viii no doubt arrive from
now on than have been coming, and
there viii also be less complaint about
the poor killing qualities Of the short
fed cattle, as they get the benefit Of
longer feeding The supply from the
range country is holding UP, and there
is enough OF this business in sight TO
furnish a fairly liberal supply for three
weeks yet The car shOtage is still
loudly complained OF, but IL is string
ing the supply along so as to allow
the market 10 hold its strength. Short
fed steers from native territory sell
at $3.50 to $40, grass steers $3.50 to
$500. heifers $500 to $500, cows
$2-5O TO $500, bulls $2.25 to S3-S5,
veals $3.50 to SIS, heavy calves 1925
to $3.50 Demand for good fieshy
feeders IS greater than the supply,
a. 6D04 OAAES hO4A4 sell dL eE-&U 20
S4.85, whereas few cattle Of this class
are good enough to bring above S4-25.
Range stOckers and feeders sell strong
at $500 to S4.15-
The hog market is fuctuating con-
dnually, but within a margin Of IS to
20 cents, breaks being followed close
" by advances, and vice verse The
run was better last week, but IS fall
ing below estimates this week both
yesterday and today, with buyers hav-
ing to scramble to I'LL orders at the
finish, after putting on an Indifferent
attitude at the opening. Light weights
are losing ground, now selling to
II cents below heavies, market
strong today, receipts 1000 head, top

Sheep runs were heavy last week,
and the market Is to 80 cents lower,
but the supply is smaller this week,
containing only a small share Of de-
sirable stuff, which is selling stronger,
Run is 1000 today, market higher, but
not at all tested. Good to choice fed
lambs are qUOtable at $40 to $40,

NEW KIND OF ALFALFA.
Adapted TO Growth on the Plains
Discovered by Prof. Hansen.

Washington. Nov. 16.-After twice
risking his life and once nearly losing
IL in the interest OF agricultural
science. Prof N z. Hansen OF the
South Dakota experiment station OF
the department OF agriculture has
found in northern Siberia an alfalfa
suited to the arid lands OF the north
west where the winters are bitter
cold
Prof Hansen got on the track OF
the alfalfa year ago, but was so late
IN searching for IL that he was badly
frozen in Siberia Despite this ex-
perienCe he made another trial this
year and has just informed Secretary
Wilson that he has been successful
and is on his way back with seed
The alfalfa Prof. Hansen has dis
covered has q yellow flower instead Of
a blue. 1t is a native Of the dry
steppes Of Siberia and grows well
where the mercury falls to 80 or 40
below zero
The country is exceedingly dry and
yet the new alfalfa is an excellent
forage plant Prof Hansen has Sc
cured the seed and IL will receive a
thorough test in the near future by
