State Treasury Fund Reported.

The state treasury recently con-
tanned $20S.69 in cash, but this sum
was not available because it belonged
to the primary school fund and the
sum was not sufficient to pay any out
standing warrant. Primary school
warrants to the amount of 1901 ,329
had been paid and there was still out
standing and unpaid warrants for
$42S,769, which sum represented the
amount which the primary school
fund was drawn upon for running eX-
penses of the state.
Checks have been sent TO Al coun-
ties of the state, the state treasurer
having decided that those counties
which first presented warrants should
be paid The counties which are not

The departure of Alexis was dra-

had thought We're loyal TO him as the

1t was o'clock when Nord Alexis

preparations for departure. AS he left

Ex-senator F.. D. Legitime, who has
been made president of Haiti by the
enforced abdication of Gen. Nord
Alexis and the latter's flight from the
capital, was once before president OF
the turbulent republic. Elected under
the laws of the country after sensa
tional campaign in 1888, his title
was recognized by all European coun
tries, but the United States alone de-
clinedt to aconcede the legality of his
election. Principally on account OF
the position taken by the American re
public, Legitime retained the execu
tive chair only eight months, and then
gave way to the man who had been
unable TO defeat him in the election.
Stormy incidents, as full of sensa
tion and violence as the present crisis
marked the way of Legitimie to the
position he has again won.

The CIazier Trial

1t is generally believed that one of
the certainties of the near future is
that Frank p. GlaZier will have to
face criminal charges in Detroit in ad-
dition to the charges of this character
pending in Ingham county.
1t is likely that the charges will be
in the Wayne circuit court. but there
is a possibility also of the United
States courts being called on. and in
formations may be filed in both fed
eral and state courts.
1t is said that the question of Grim
inal charges against Glazier in De-
troit was discussed few days ago
in a Glazier creditors meeting. at
which the banks holding large
amounts of Glazier paper were rep
resented. Some OF the speakers, it is
said, were very insistent in demands
that some serious action be taken in
Detroit, action in proportion to the
more than 100000 that Gazier got
from leading Detroit banks.

Many estimates have been made of
what the population of the United
States will be in 1850. They vary all
the way from 10000 900 to 100000.
600. The latest person to make an es.
innate, however, takes quite a differ
ent view. In the Atlantic Monthly
Mr. w. S. Rossiter, census expert.
shows that the rate of increase in pop
ulation is steadily declining. From
1870 to 1880 the increase was 81 per
cent. From 1880 to 1890, "a per cent,
and from that date TO 1900, 81 per
cent. In view OF this steady decrease
in the rate, Mr.. Rossiter estimates
that the population will not be over
100000 and after that date will
tend to become stationary.

smuggling cases are not heard before

now necessary to take the cases be-

Chinese cases were heard before the

CAUSE AND EFFECT
Good Digestion Follows Right Food.

Indigestion and the attendant dis

tain to follow continued use of improp-

Those who are still young and
robust are likely TO overlook the fact
that, as dropping water will wear a
stone away at last, SO will the use OF
heavy, greasy, rich food, finally cause
loss of appetite and indigestion.

enough to study themselves and note
the principle OF Cause and Effect in
their daily food A N. Y. young wom-
an writes her experience thus:

criticisms of this sort is that they are

thing that resembles the home where
his father and mother brought him up,

achieved success after the production,
but was a long time reaching the
stage. Manager after manager refused
the manuscript, and one day Mr..

"Of course you don't appreciate the
play. You don't even know the
meaning of its name.'

THAT AGREEMENT.
Just the Old One Reiterated to Give
the War HowIers a Jolt.

That the new ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
pact had the effect intended by its
ratification and publication was the
information given to the house com
mittee on appropriations by Secretary
Of State Root, who appeared before
the committee in relation TO the APP
preparations for his department, which
are TO be carried in the legislative,
executive and judicial appropriation
bill. He was questioned closely w
Chairman Tawney and other members
of the committee about the new agrs.-
ment with the Japenese.
Root told the committee that both
the United States and Japan had
worked confidence game on the
world. which was necessary however,
because the worlds memory needed 4
jolt
This agreement" said Secretary
Root, is simply reiteration of the
agreement entered into between the
United States and Japan. The world
had forgotten about the old agree
ment Stories were constantly crop
ping up in European capitals of COM
ing war between the two countries.
There were no reasons why there
should be war, as the relations be-
tween the two governments were OF
the most cordial nature II was there
fore necessary to remind the world
OF the agreement made years ago. and
so a new one, embodying the same
principles as the old. was prepared
and signed and promulgated. 1t has
had its effect. War talk in European
capitals Is no longer heard and IL
won't be heard for years to come. The
danger in this talk from our neigh
bors across the water was that it
would get the people of the two coun.
tries into the belief that there was TO
be a war, and this was the only way
in which the spreading OF that belief
could be stopped"
