Affairs Of the City.

The city's fiscal year was ended
April 80. and the report of Special Ex-
aminer A. J. Camp covering that year
has just been printed. It is replete
with interesting facts and figures re-
lating to the city's financial condition.
Under the system of bookkeeping now
in use in the city's office Mr.. Camp
finds it difficult to distinguish between
current expenses and purchases of
property that may be used longer than
the fiscal year, but he concludes that
the deficit of the fiscal year was $751;
500, as against deficit in the pre-
vious year of s103,44S. Here is a gain
that is certainly satisfactory In view
of the fact that expenses were nee
essarily increased during the year.
More money came from licenses
last year than from taxes, and fran
chises probably of the trolley sort
yielded S4O.6OO, and Judge Feagin
brought in 1884 No other item
rose to $4,000. and the total receipts
were S638,252 Our schools cost STA
319, an increase of $72,O53 over the
previous year, and the fire depart
ment absorbed $1O1, 433, an increase of
$4,000 The streets and sanitation
cost more by $13,457 In view of the
increased expenses it was indeed for
tunate that Mayor Ward was able to
reduce the deficit to the extent of
$46,SS9 This was done, although re-
bates to the churches were granted to
the amount of $6441 in the respect of
street improvements.
The city's affairs are In satisfacto-
ry condition. About one-third of its
revenues are drawn from real and
personal property, one-third from
licenses, and and one-third from a
wide list ranging from dogs to build
ing permits All these taxes are east
ly borne, and If Mayor Ward is for
tunate this year he may be able to re-
port that receipts and expenditures
are at length balanced.

LOST STUDS AND BUTTONS.
Left in Shirts Sent to Laundry-val-
liable Diamond Recovered.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun
PLENTY of people leave collar buttons
and cuff buttons and shirt studs in shirts
when they send them to the laundry"
said laundryman. LAS a rule these
are not of much value, but we do some
times find fine buttons and sometimes
costly sparklers.
"a customer of our sent US once In this
way. in one of bundle of shirts sent to
the laundry, $3.50 diamond, which came
pretty near to being finally lost
This diamond was set in a shirt stud.
and he had used this stud to fasten to-
gether the front of dress shirt through
the holes in the shirt bosom at the bot
tom, out of sight, below the top edge
of the low walstcoat. He had wanted an
ordinary button to put there, but, failing
TO find one when he was dressing, he just
picked up this diamond stud. Then he
forgot it, and in the next bundle of
shirts he sent us he sent along the $3.50
diamond stud.
"Of course, we inspect the shirts as
they come in for just such things, looking
over the bosoms particularly, but we
down in an unusual place and very like
ly folded under out of sight in the rum
ping of the shirt, and it got by. Next
morning the owner himself discovered his
loss and notified us. and, of course, we
promptly began a search for it.
"The shirt supposed to contain the
missing diamond along with the rest Of
this customers shirts, and others, had
already gone into a washing machine
but we stopped this machine and took
everything out of 1t. The stud was not
in any of this customers shirts, nor was
1t washed out of its original place, as
Ii might have been by the softening of
the linen in the water and the motion
of the machine, to be found anywhere
in the folds of any of the other shirts.
No diamond But then-a modern ma
chine, you know, is half as big as a hogs
head-a man got into the machine, and

so. buttons discovered on the first in
specton are of course saved. and but
tons remaining in the shirts through
the washing are likely to be discovered
by the starehers; but buttons washed out
of the shirts In machines and of which
we have no knowledge, are likely to be
drawn off with the water when the ma
chimes are emptied. and in that way some
may, first and last, be lost"

Churches on the Outskirts.

There are many churches in the i'm
mediate environs of Birmingham and its
outskirts that are practically unknown to
the average citizen" said man last
night, but in my opinion these houses
of worship deserve better of the float
ing congregation of Birmingham. They
should be visited to be appreciated.
There is a certain little church just
outside of the city limits that is ia
nous throughout the whole Birmingham
district for its fervor and enthusiasm and
for the music that it is able to pro-
duee with an unpaid choir drawn from
its members largely. This is cited as an
instance. but in most of the suburbs are
to be found congregations that have not
entirely abrogated that charm of sim
plicity that was once a characteristic Of
notwithstanding
Leaving out the merits or demerits
of this spirit. it is enough to say that
there is a difference. Go out to the lit
tie churches and hear the preachers that
strangely enough, perhaps, are not al
ways little"

Government cartoaraphy.

Mr.. McCaskey, chief of the mining hu-
reau at Manila, is the latest to mourn
the inadequacy of the Philippine maps"
says a writer in the New York Sun. lin
his last annual report he says that very
little material has been collected that
can be used by railway highway and
other surveys. There are no typographical
maps on which to base mineral, forestry,
agricultural and other industrial surveys.
Except along the coast there is no TRAN
gulation, and therefore it is not quite GER
tain whether the small surveys, carried
out in the interior for special purposes,
are correctly placed on the maps. He
rpedicts that there will be serious trouble
some DAY over property lines and mining
claims If the present conditions continue
Americans may at least congratulate
themselves that the coast and Geodetic
survey. by its scientific charting of the
shorts and eoasted waters, is reducing to
minimum the dangers of Philippine
navigation. AS most of the islands are
comparatively small and narrow, the va
rious agencies have been able to make
some rather effective maps showing the
distribution of rainfall. earthquakes,
tribes, etc. The other American maps of
the Philippines are little better than those
the Spaniards made; and, in fact, the
Spanish cartography is as yet the basis
of most of the Philippine mapping. Uncle
Sam cannot in year or sxo multiply
indefinitely the wonders he is doing in
the Philippines, but there is no doubt that
exact surveys and better maps Will be
an outcome of the near future"

the Unitea States supreme court,
where a final settlement of the yexed
question could be secured.
A theatre may be in law a private
place, but in ethics and education it is
full of public bearings. To say that
public education and public morals in
a theatre are beyond public supewi-
sion, is certainly bit surprising, and
it suggests the need of several curb
bits on the theatrical steed. A theatre
has long been considered a public
place, and not few laws are based
on that assumption in the states and
even in the federal government. The
New York decision as it stands is al
most a revolution, and IL it is to stand
for good it behooves all to know who
it is that controls their amusements
and stage education. The dictators of
the stage are under the New York de-
cision men who have no bosses, no
superiors, who, in fact, need not toll
crate critics on the spot This is a
wide departure from plans and views
that had almost become custom.

Law of Theatres.

James S. Metcalf, lie dramatic critic
OF Life, never hesitates to tell the truth
as he sees it, and the theatre trust
took steps TO exclude him from its
places of amusement even when he
had purchased an admission ticket and
a seat. He was excluded by force, and
he began suit against one theatrical
manager who had shut him out. He
charged him with entering into con-
spiracy to prevent him from exercis'
ing his lawful and needful calling. The
appellate division of the trial court
has just handed down a decision de-
claring that a playhouse is private,
not a pubic, place. and the manager
or proprietor of it has a right to say
who shall enter it and who shall not.
This case will no doubt be carried
to the court of appeals, the highest
court in New York. and it may go to

SEE THE DERBY ONCE.
An American Woman Tells Why Visit
to EPSON Is Quite Worth While.

Eleanor Franklin, in Leslie's Weekly
1t is a matter of twenty-odd. miles from
London to EPSON. in whose vicinity the
historic raceeourse lies, and samples of
almost every curious thing there is in old
England are to be seen along the various
roadways If there were but one road to
EPSON half of the procession that starts
from London on the morning of Derby
day would be left struggling in the out
skirts of the city long after the great
race had been run. But there are many
though none too many since each is
packed to the point of discomfort from
early dawn until far into the night.
The Derby Is a thing for the foreigner
to see once and to ever afterward hold
in grateful memory, because 1t is an ex-
perience that could never repeat itself to
the satisfaction of the mere onlooker.
Primarily, 1T is. of course, a horse race,
but the race, which occupies such a fleet
ing breach of time, is by long odds the
least of it, Otherwise 1t is an expression
of Britishism such as may not be wit
messed upon any other occasion. 1t is the
one day in the year, 1 believe. on which
English society levels itself out upon the
first principle of the brotherhood of man.
'Rich man, poor man. beggar man, thief.
doctor. lawyer. merchant. thief" without
distinction and with perfect camaraderie
come together with the evident, If mcon-
scious, purpose of proving that to be
merely British is all that any true Briton
can reasonably desire.
The foreigners are the only spectators.
Everybody else is Sin the cast" as it
were and it is difficult to judge wheth-
er the king with his mobiles and their
bevy of brilliantly attired ladies'. or the
coster in his donkey cart with 1.-The mis-
sus and the kids" are the leading actors.
Perhaps 1t would be better to call 1t a
variety show, and to decide that each in
his turn" is a star in his own particu-
lar performance.
