NEW YORK cITYs BIG DEBT.
Metropolis of the Nation Is Decidedly Extravagant.

New York city is the master bill contractor in the world, and the in- dividual citizen owes more as a citi- zen of New York than he does as a citizen of the United States. Next to New York the 25 larger cities of the United States, in the order of their population, are as follows: Chicago, Philadelphia, St. Louis, Boston, Balti- more, Cleveland, Buffalo. San Francis co, Cincinnati, Pittsburg, New Or leans. Detroit Milwaukee, Washing ton. Newark, Jersey City. Louisville, Minneapolis. Providence, Indianapolis, Kansas City, St. Paul, Rochester, Denver and Toledo. Their population, according to the census of 1900, was about s,600,000. against 3.437,00o for Greater New York. It is not likely that this proportion has changed much. Now, the total bonded indebt. edness of these 25 cities is about s417,000,0 900. almost s100.000,0O0 less than that of the metropolis. This means that the per capita debt of the citizens of New York is s145.35. against s43.45 for those of the other large cities. Boston with $116 and Cincinnati with sl14 come the nearer to approaching New York's record, while Chicago and San Francisco, ow- ing only SIP per capita each, make the best showings.- Magazine.

to avoid recurrence of last winters fuel scarcity As an additional in- ducement to dealers to help in pre- venting another fuel scarcity, which was particularly distressing in the states affected by the commission 5 new order, dealers have now secured a reduction of rate from which they will derive a considerable addition al profit. The principal difficulty in supplying coal in the western states during the winter months when fuel was most needed, grew partly out of shortage of equipment and partly from the fact that orders were de- layed until weather conditions made freight movement slow and difficult. In Nevada at one time not only was all the available wood supply con- stunned, but for miles around many towns sage brush was cut and sold for fuel.

4 Great Swimmer,

A remarkable swim by an eight year-old horse. says a Kildysart tele- gram, is occupying the attention of the local inhabitants. It appears that a farmer named Morgan Macmahon, who lives on a small island in the estuary of the shannon. took the horse by boat to the mainland, and after working 1t all day turned 1t loose in the evening with a number of other horses. When the owner awoke next morning what was his astonishment to find the faithful animal peacefully grazing near it's stable. It was wet as from a swim. and there Is not the slightest doubt that the horse had swum all the way from the mainland to the island. distance of a little less than three miles.-Pall Mall Gazette.

 According to the estimate handed ill by New York's fire commissioner an even S100.000,O00 is wanted for the New York fire departments expenses for 190S. Even at that it is cheap. for considering the immense values at risk, the fire losses of the American metrop- oils are remarkably small.-Springfield Union.

 An automobile, having no headlights and running sixty miles an hour, while returning to New York from Coney Island early the other morning, col- lided headon with a motor car going forty miles an hour. One person was instantly killed, and two more were fatally hurt.

SATURDAY, JULY 20, 1907.

When the immigrant officials at Ellis Island learned that Charles Pa pernini, late of Italy and now an aspirant for future citizenship in the United States, was 90 years of age, they hesitated about admitting him because of a possibility of his com ing on the public for support. They began to look for his visible asset, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer. In the first place, he was strong and vigorous. In the second place, he carried a goodly sum of money con cealed about his person. In the third, he had eight sons and four daughters, all earning good incomes in this country. Also thirty-five grandchildren, a number of whom are in business, supporting them selves and their children. Also nine eat-grandchildren who are also candidates for future citizenship.

BEST IN LINGERIE
ONE GIRL HAS SOLVED HOT
 WEATHER PROBLEM.
At Comparatively Small Outlay She Secures Dainty and Washable Gar menH that Will Last All
 Summer.

Lingerie particularly suited for hot weather wear is always a grave prob lem with the thrifty yet dainty woman. To secure results that will be summerlike and dainty and yet with stand the many washings of dog days is by no means easy. Longcloth and fine cambric, which are staples for cool weather lingerie, become too heavy for hot days and yet the more transparent materials must be chosen with great care or they will turn sleazy and bedraggled with the first washing.
 One young woman, noted for her dainty underwear uses cross-barred dimity for dog day lingerie, and though 1t cost only from 19 to "A cents yard, she declares 1t will outwear and outlaunder the finer lawns vary. ing in price from 25 to 40 cents yard. She has just finished a dainty set worth describing. A fine cross.bar dimity is employed for all the pieces. The long skirt is fitted carefully to her figure over the hips, but from point just below the knee is set on by very full ruffie. The dust ruffie is of affinity edged with German val. lace. which is bought by the bolt at S5 cents a bolt of 12 yards. This lace she bought wholesale. in two widths of edging and two of insertion. She also bought large remnant of Swiss allover. The ruffie of the skirt is com posed of alternate strips of the allover and tucked dimity. running up and down. and the bottom of the ruffle Is finished with the deeper lace edging. about three inches wide. The rufie Is attached to the skirt with beading not more than an eighth of an inch in width. The wide beading is not used for skirts to be worn under thin lin gerie dresses. The corset cover Is cut all in one piece on the bias and fits the figure perfectly. ending right at the waist line in plain bias band. The front is inset with medallions of embroidery cut from the alloyer Swiss and outlined by little flounces of the narrowest edging. The top of the cover is finished with insertion. fine beading and the narrower edging. while shield sleeves made from two strips of insertion and the wider edg- ing finish off the arm holes. The drawers have shaped rufie, split up

But the Groeeryman Would Not Hear
 the Tale.

q wish to speak to you about that barrel of apples I bought day before yesterday" said the knd-looking old gentleman.
 "YouIi have to see the clerk who sold them to you" the grocer an- swered. very snappishly. T don't know anything about them"
 But desire to say to you person ally that"
 Now, look here; can't be both cred over every pound of sugar or pint of cider or barrel of apples that my clerks sell. Just see the young man who waited on you. He's around somewhere"
 Yes, I see him there at the back end of the store; but really felt that it was my duty to tell you about 1t. You see"
 If stood around listening to every body who comes into this store to complain that they've bought some thing they didn't want. or that they've been sighted. as they think. by my clerks, l wouldn't have time for any thing else. You'll please excuse me. The clerk will hear your complaint. and If there is anything we can do you may be sure 1t will be done. But we can't take back a barrel of apples after they have been out of the store two or three days. You can surely see that if we did business in such a way"
 My dear sir, I don't want you to take back the apples, and I haven't any complain. to make merely wished to tell you that I found the apples St the bottom of the barrel to be just as big as ths ones at the top.

Means are being used to round up the federal officials for Secretary Cortelyou for the republican nomina- tion for president. Congressman Jesse Overstreet declared, few days ago, that the delegation from New York is fixed for Cortelyou, but as MT Overstreet is a Fairbanks man he may have joined in exposing the Cortelyou conspiracy on purpose to embarrass President Roosevelt, for he said he did not expect to see MT Cortelyou nominated. Then along comes Senator Elkins of West Vir- ginia, fresh from political confer ences in New York with his Wall street railroad friends. and declares: "Cortelyou will undoubtedly have the support of the New York delega- ton. And you know what that means" With Overstreet and FL kins enlisted for him and the cor poration money ready to be poured out for him, Mir Cortelyou will make a typical republican candidate.
