DECORATED WITH CARTS.
What a Young New York Woman
With Long Purse Has Done.

A young woman in New York city
with a purse long enough to satisfy
her craving for artistic expression in
her home has constructed hallway
and stairs out of carts used by Sicil-
ian peasants. These carts, as every
globe trotter knows, are painted in
the most vivid colors, and frequently
show fine examples of wood carving.
The hallway is paneled with the
sides, front and tailboards of carts,
and the carvings include cherubs'
heads, angels and saints. Spokes
are used for balu ter spindles, and
shafts have been spliced for the stair
railing. The effect is somewhat bar
barrie, but has been admired by many
artists. The young woman is proud
of her conception and execution, and
flatters herself on the probability that
she owns the only exhibit of the kind
in the world.

Work of the SO-CaIIed Southern
Educational Conference.
IS INSIDIOUS AND DANGEROUS

Calls Timely Attention to the Posi-
BILE SubversiOn of Southern Teach
ings and Principles BY Northern
''Philanthropists," Whose Board
Has just Been in Session in At
lanta.
DR.. Warren A. Gambler, Methodist
bishop of Georgia, has written a
series of articles to the Atlanta
Constitution protesting against the
insidious and dangerous work of
the sO-called Southern Educational
Conference" which has just held
"a session of several days in At
lanta. What he SO clearly points
out has been felt by many others,
and his views are held and sus-
tanned by such notable opponents of
correct thinking as the New Orleans
ITimes-Democrat, the New York Jour
nal of Commerce, the Springfield
Republican and the Baltimore Manu-
facturers' Record.
Bishop Gambler sees in the work
of the Southern Educational Con-
ference" which is simply a branch
and Offsprings of the $43,000,00O
educational trust known as the Gen
eral Educational Board and repre-
sented by Mr.. Ogden and his con-
feres, an effort of the Carnegies and
ROCkefellers of the country to con-
troll the education of the south,
which he thinks would be a very
unfortunate thing. BY the use of a
few millions the idea is to bring
certain educational institutions un-
der the control of this board, to reg
ulate not only the expenditure of the
donations given by these men, but
also the employment of the funds
already possessed by these colleges.
Bishop Gambler does not think it
would be best for our colleges to
grow in wealth faster than the people
whom they would serve. Our col
leges need help, and much help, but
they do not need to get above the
people. If the late Jay Gould had
founded or endowed a college it
would have been next to impossible
to have warned successfully the
students of such an institution
against the evils of stock gambling.
The colleges which may draw their
support from the funds of this Gen
eral Education Board" would be i'm
potent to condemn effectually the in

WHY UNCLE SAM is HARD UP FOR CASH
Problem of Raising Money to Meet Extravagances Now
Attracting Much Attention at Washington.

WASHINGTON.-The problem of
raising revenue to offset the $780,
100000 annual deficit resulting from
republican extravaganza is daily
looming larger on the horizon.
Although an attempt was made in
the Payne bill to solve the deficiency
in the national finance by increas-
ing the tax on necessities and even
by placing a double duty on death
through an inheritance tax it failed
utterly.
Bill Is Inadequate.
Figures show in a striking manner
how the Payne bill falls short, by
over $S7,000,000 year, Of bringing
in sufficient revenue to equal the ex-
penses Of the republican administra-
ton.
The appropriations for next year
are $1,044,014,298.23, or more than
S12 per capita is distributed to the
individual. To meet this it is esti-
mated that S223,340,712 will be re-
ceived from postal revenue. 1t is
claimed that 100000 is for sink
ing fund on public debt and need not
be paid; that $35,000,000 Is apprO-
priated for the Panama canal which
can be paid by the sale of bonds I'M
der the provisions Of the Payne bill.
After these reductions have been
made the sum left as a necessary
amount to be raised by taxation is
$725,673,586.23.
To meet this enormous sum the
following estimates are made: From
customs duties under the Payne bill,
$305,224,752; from internal reve-
nue., 51,000,000; from taxes on
legacies, $20,00O,00O; from miscel-
laneous sources, $62,0O0,0OO.
The total Of these amounts is
$638,224,732.39, which is $87448,-
853.84 short of equaling the eXpend-
itures of the government.
Why So Hard Up?
''Why is Uncle Sam having such a
hard time meeting expenses" is be-
ing asked by the man who has little
time to keep close track of national
finances.
"Extravag ance" is the answer of
those on the scene who are able to
get a view into the business methods
of the government from close range. |
1t is almost impossible to under
stand that the Roosevelt administra-
ton could have been more expensive
to the American people than was the |
running of the government during
the civil war, yet it was. In the !
years 1862, 1863, 1864 and 1865 the |
total expenditures were $3,394,S30,-
931, or $3.50, less than the !
expenditures during the last four |
years of the Roosevelt administra- |
ton, which total SO, ,502,454.52 |
