UNITED STATES NOW
WEA[TH|EST NATION.
Treasury Figures Show that the
Per Capita Is in Excess
of $I,3Io.
VAST GROWTH OF FINANCES.
Money in Circulation on Jan. so
Last Was Nearly $1,000
GOO, 900.

Major Alfred r. Quaiffe, vault clerk
Of the United States treasury, who has
charge of Uncle Sans money, called
my attention the other day to the al
most incredible growth Of the business
of the Treasury Department since he
came into The service, forty-two years
ago, and he furnished me with some
very interesting and rather, startling
comparisons, writes William e. Curtis,
the Washington correspondent. For
example, the wealth of the country
which, of course. has kept pace with
the transactions of the treasury. is
three and one-half times greater to-day
than it was in 1870. The total then
was s30,06S $4,000. The estimated total
to-day. based upon the census reports
and information received by the Agri-
cultural Department the Secretary of
tine Treasury and the Comptroller of
the Currency, is $101 104,211,917.
The wealth per capita of citizens of
the United States, based upon similar
estimates, has increased from $7719.S3
in 1870 to S1.310.11 in 1907, which
makes the United States. with its enor-
nous population, the richest country in
the world.
The money in circulation has increas-
ed four-fold since Major Quaiffe came
into the treasury. The total in 1870
was $675,212.794. while on Jan. GO,
1907, it was $2,914,342,2 The creu-
lation per capita has almost doubled,
notwithstanding the present money
famine, and has increased from $11.5O
to $33.S6 during the last forty-two
years.
When Major Quaffe came into the
cash room we had only $25,00O,000 in
gold; to-day we have $756, 665,S69 in
gold coin in the treasury alone, hot
counting that in circulation and hoard
ed away.
Uncle Sans working capital on Dec
IA, 1907, amounted to $1,I56, 491, 46..31
all of which is hard cash. OF this
amount 81 ,233, 7o5,8 1863, in coin is held
on deposit to secure the payment of
ST56, 6G5,S69 gold certificates. SAT- ,525,-
coo silver certificates, and $5,515,G
treasury notes outstanding. The treas
ury reserve. which is kept by law,
amounts to S150.000,O0O The cash bal
arce available to pay the current ex-
penses of the government on Dec. IA
was 1853, &C., 30e.Gj.
Uncle Sam does not keep all of his
money in Washington, although there
is good deal of it here. The remain
der is scattered among the different

Sad Ending of Pleasure Party. John
Howard Risteau, second son of Mr.. and Mrs.
William NJ. Risteau, of Towson, met his death
on Thursday afternoon under the most dis
tressing circumstances. He accompanied a
large party on their annual outing to Cape
May Shore, Middle river, and while out in q
boat with colored boy looking after some
crab lines, took off his clothing and jumped
into the water The colored boy thought OF
course he could swim and paid no attention
to him, but when he commenced to look for
him be could not be seen. An alarm was at
once given and the other members of the party
were soon at the scene in bonts and vigorous
efforts were made to find the missing boy, but
all to no purpose Others went to the assis-
lance of the party and the search was kept up
until oclock-ive hours after the accident
when a man touched the body with an ore and
it was brought to the surface.
Young Risteau, who was Is years of age,
was promising boy and was highly thought
of in this community. He had lately COM
pleted course in Baltimore business college
and had taken position as stenographer and
typewriter in the law Offices of Mr.. q. Howard
Isaac, in Towson. Besides bis parents he is
survived by twin sister-Miss Mary Risteau,
who was visiting relatives in Hartford county
at the time of the accident-and one brother
Mr.. William M. Risteau, Jr. Tie utmost SYM
pathy is expressed for the family in their sud-
den bereavement.
The body was prepared for burial by John
Burns Sons, Towson undertakers, and brought
to his late home here. The funeral will take
place on Saturday morning and the interment.
will be in Hartford county.

An Interesting Point About Accident
insurance. Railroad casualties receive such
wide publicity said e. Griswold Thelin, an
insurance man of Baltimore, discussing the
subject few days ago, that there is a COM
mon belief on the part of the public that per-
son is more liable to accidents while travelling
than when living the simple life in the con-
fines of the home.
"As q matter of cold fact, statistics show that
accident insurance companies pay more losses
to people who get injured in their own homes
or on their premises than they do to people
hurt in railway accidents. Insurance COM
panies pay more money to people who get
hurt hanging pictures or taking stoves apart
than they do to the victims Of head on COLI
sions. 1t sounds strange, but its the truth. In
fact, most companies now pay double indem-
nifty when the insured is injured in railway
accident

CANT Settle the School Building Ques-
tion.-The erection OF new school building
in Gainesville is still agitating the minds OF
the citizens of that flourishing town. Some
months ago the School Commissioners prom
isad q rrssnrnittee If citizens thai if dents-k
Board would erect $4,000 building. Despite
opposition, the lot on Frederick avenue, now
occupied by the Adams blacksmith shop, was
finally purchased for $3.50 by committee of
five citizens. Since that time the school COM
mittee has been endeavoring to raise by sub
scription the $4,000 guaranteed the School
Board. About half the amount has been SUBJ
scribed. There is considerable opposition and
a petition is being circulated by some of the
largest taxpayers against the removal of the
school from its present site, on Winters lane,
giving five reasons for their opposition, viz:
Because the present site is particularly adapted
and most suitable for the purpose; because the
present building can at small cost, be remod-
eled, and, if necessary, additions can be made
thereto, enlarging it to any extent desired be-
cause the erection of a school building upon
the turnpike will be constant menace to the
life and limb of large number ofchildren, as
it will be in close proximity to an electric car
line; because the present location, when ADAM
doned, may be used for colored children, which
will be great annoyance to the white persons
in that Immediate vicinity, and because the
contemplat school will be in the vicinity of
at least three saloons.
