It is repainted every third year, and

compelled as soon as they have
readied one end to begin again at
the opposite end, they are continually

Washington, NovT4. Ellis 31. Kob
crts, treasurer of the United States,
in opening his annual report saya
that the magnitude of the available,
cash balance and tlie unprecedented
holdings of gross gold are thu strik
ing features of the condition of the
treasury at the close of the fiscal
year 1902. The net ordinary revenues
for tlie year were $502,-l78,!i33 and
the expenditures $171,HJ0r,857, show
ing u mirplus of $9I,287,:70.
Wlillu the accounts of the public,
debt on their face show an Increase
of $15,283,512 in the total of the debt,
if allowance be made for tlie increase
of $57,021,400 i gold certificates,
the national obligations will be
shown to have diminished by $12,310,
888 during the fiscal year.
Tlie growth in tlie volume of money
in circulation during the year was
$71,082,589, carrying tlie per captta
from 27.98 to 28.13. Tlie element of
gold coin and gold certificates was
tlie largest part and tlie increase
readied $01,900,171 and advanced
from 10.30 per cent, of tlie total to
41.73 per cent. In silver of all de
nominations, including certificates,
there was an increase of $25,260,110,
of which $0,480,014 was in subsidiary
coin. Tlie reduction in treasury
notes of $17,077,800 is duo to their
withdrawal.
Tlie advance in circulation in the
volume of gold, including certificates,
within 12 years, by the large sum
of $133,703,510 is the measure of tiio
greater strength of our circulation.
The addition during the past fiscal
year was $01,980,171. The increase iu
tlie future can hardly be less than
$50,000,000 to $00,000,000 a year.
There was a net increase during
the fiscal year of 308 banks, 437
charters liming been granted and
69 surrendered. The total number
of banks chartered to June 30, 1902,
was 0,325, of which 4,540 were in op
eration and 1,779 out of existence.
There was unusual activity in tho
movement of silver and minor coin
to and from the treasury. The ship
incuts of silver doUars readied $10,
401,325, exceeding all former records,
and tho returns for exchange were
$2,710,G90 greater than tlie issues.
Tlie amount of subsidiary coin out
standing was increased by $3,114,852
to $82,811,910.

owned $50,000,000 worth of govern

drew annual interest of $2,000,000.
At the close of Mr. Cleveland's) second
odniiuistrntion it was discovered that
the government owed him one cent.
A check for flint amount was for

lie preserves it as a curiosity.
ROBBERS MAKE A BIG HAUL.
A Wealthy Fliitlunil Iinlliin I.oniih S'JU.OOO
In Cnh Stored in mi Old Trunk In mi
Otitliiillillnir,
JMissouia, Mont., Nov. 4. One of tho
biggest robberies that has ever oc
curred in tlie history of western Mon
tana was enacted near Plains. A
wealthy Flathead Indian named Mat
chcll was robbed of $22,000 in casli.
Mateliell was a visitor in Plains, and
in ids absence nt night, a man
dressed as a squaw visited ills homo
on Camas prairie and engaged in con
versation with Matchell's squaw.
Mrs. Mateliell noticed that tho visitor
was not an Indian squaw, but a white
man, as he could not talk good Flat
head, but she did not suspect any
thing wrong at first. Finally she saw
two men run from an outbuilding
carrying something with them. Tho
wealth had been stored in that build
ing. The robbers leaped upon their
horses, which were nearby, and tlie
one that had been talking to her
joined them. The three hurried away.
Mateliell is the wealthiest Indian
on the reservation. He has large
herds of cattle and horses and was al
ways known to have money. Few
people knew he kept, it at homo in
nn old trunk in an outbuilding.
CIVILIZATION CAUSING DEATH
MARRIAGE BOOKS OPEN.

Kansas City, Mo Nov. 4. The Kon
siis City court of appeals decided that
the county ollieiiil who issues miir
ringo licenses must make an entry
in a book open to public inspection
of each marriage license when it is
isttued. This decision is Important
because it, will put a stop to tho
practice, so long followed in Mis
souri, of suppressing marriage li
censes. It lias been tho custom of
some recorders to suppress marriage
licenses when tlie couple would pay
a feo for it. Tho court's decision was
made in tlie ease of Hugh Stephens,
editor of a newspnper In JelTerson
City, against Osborn L. Moore, re
corder of that county. Monro had a
feeling of enmity for Stephens and
would not lot him have tlie list of
marriage licenses for publication in
his paper, but allowed rival papers
to have them.

San Francisco, Nov. 4. Thousands
of natives in Hoischcl island and
along tlie Arctic coast are dying from
tlie measles. Tho news was brought
by the whaling steamer Jeannette,
which arrived Sunday from a whaling
cruise. Capt. Newtli, of the Jean
nette, said yesterday: "At least 25
per cent, of tlie natives along tho
Arctic coast have died from tho
measles. They are dying off like rab
bits and there seems to lie nothing
to check tlie deatli rate. The march
of civilization has increased tho
death rate from Nome north. Two
years ago the devastation began and
has continued ever since. When tho
natives began to wear civilized man's
clothing and drink white man's
whisky then began their decline. Dis
eases unheard of attacked them, nnd
not knowing how to enro for them
selves they died off rapidly. Pneu
monia, rheumatism, grippe and every
conceivnble malady made their ap
pearance among them and spread
all along the coast with appalling results."

of Negros.

Tlie Reporter Compiled tu the Letter
with the WImIicb of tiio
Speaker.
It is not a new plaint among legislative
and other loquacious bodies that the short
hand report is not all that it should be
but if the reporter's side is less frequently
presented it is not because there is noth
ing to be said. A member of a committee
found fault, so the Christian Kndcavor
World says, with the way thoir speeches
were reported; his own, in particular, were
scarcely recognizable when seen in print.
He did not want his speeches "cut,"
neither did he want them embroidered.
He wanted them to come out in tho paper
exactly as he mado them. So did the mem
ber who spoke next, whereupon the short
hand writers retaliated, with this tolling
result
"The reporters ought not to the re
porters ought not to bo the ones to judge
of what is important not to say what
should be left out but the member can
only judge of what is important As I
as my speech as as the reports as what
I say is reported sometimes, no one no
body can understand from tho reports
what it is what I mean. So it strikes
me it has struck me certain matters
things that appear of iniportoncc are
sometimes left out omitted. Tho report
erthe papers points are reported I
mean to make a brief statement what
the paper thinly of interest is reported."

"There is a strange body in your
