Unele Sam's Overflowing Treas
ury.
After cutting off an estimated tax
ation of more than seventy millions
lpat. fiscal year, Uncle Sam finds that he
has still more money than he needs.
On the first of July he had on hand a
net surplus for the year of about fifty
five million dollars. For the three
months of the present fiscal year there
is a surplus of about five millions,
which is likely to increase unless con
ditions change greatly. It is possible
however, that receipts from customs
may fall off. so that a smaller balance
will be left at the end of the year. The
desirable condition is that expenses
and receipts should balance except
when there is a large debt to pay. At
present there is a small debt, bnt it is
also largely an asset, since two- thirds of
the bonds are in government custody to
cover circulation or deposits.
This ia a situation to make the mouths i
of European finauciers water. The lead
ing nations' securities are selling below
par, while Uncle Sam, who alone has a ,
two per cnt. bond, finds them com- '
inanding a high premium. This is an J
excellent situation, but is in part de- f
lusive. The price of government bonds ,
la now controlled by their value to <
banks for currency purposes. They are
becoming scarce and, as Secretary Shaw i
announces, can no longer supply the <
demand for their banking function, j
Either wa mnst have new bonds or a ,
new currency system. t
That new currency is being provided (
is shown by the Treasurer's report. New ,
currency was issued last year to the
amount of $125,000,000, nearly one-half
of which was in gold. At present near
ly one-half of our total currency is in ]
the yellow metal. The coin is not much
in evidence, bat any person handling t
hillii of the denomination of twenty
dollars or over has become familiar with ]
the yellow backed certificates which 1
represent tha aotual coin in the Treas (
nry. Most people have seen more gold,
or its certificate, in the last three years ]
than in all their lives before. Mr. i
Bryan admits that there is much gold
in circulation, and that he was wrong
in his estimates, but right in his prin- ]
ciples, which are as dear to him as ever.
Uncle Sam is doing a larger business :
than any other nation on earth. He
has accumulated one hundred billions
of wealth. He has established the gold
standard and the principle of protec
tion. He sees crops worth five billions
of dollars harvested or safe from danger,
while the railroads are being taxed to
carry on the business offered them. On
the whole, Uncle Sam feels contented. /
And well he may. Such a condition <
never before existed in the world, and,
barring a fit of insanity on the part of
the people, it is going to continue. —

POULTICAL.
One. of the probable combinations,
next year, against President Roosevelt, i
to defeat his nomination, will be
that of the great trusts of the country,
and the Trades Alliance —and both for !
the same reason —that he will not do
their bidding.
Israel W. Durham, the political boss
of Philadelphia, returned from Europe,
last week, and promptly announced
himself as favoring Quay's re-election
to the U. S. Senate. Quay's programe
will probably be to secure his own re
election, then resign, and have Gov.
Pennypacker appoint his son Dick to
fill the vacancy.
Senator Penrose was in Washington,
Tuesday, and when asked his opinion as
to the probability of Gov. Pennypacker
resigning and being appointed chief
justice of the supreme court,
said: "I do not think there is
any likelihood of the governor taking
such action, although I have not talked
with him on the subject."
As state chairman Senator Penrose
•aid of the Pennsylvania, campaign;
"Everything is moving smoothly in the
campaign. There is scarcely a ripple
on the surface of politics and the Re
publican ticket will win. I suppose the
statehood bill will be brought up again
this session, though I have not heard
much talk about it this summer. I
have no donbt though that Senator
Quay will resume his efforts in behalf
of thebilL ''
As horrible a legal execution as ever
happened in this country was that at
Dannemora, N Y., last Thursday.
Three boys, brothers, were taken from
their cells, one at a time, to the electric
chair, and all killed within fifteen min
utes. Some months ago they qoarroled
with their uncle, who lived by himself
on an adjoining farm, and went to his
home at night, and killed him.

The End of Economy.
At the public sale of the stock, farm
ing implements, etc. of the Harmony
Society at their old barns in Economy,
on Thursday of last week, the herd of
sixty Jersey, Holetein and Hereford cat
tle, averaged only sl3 each, and every
thing else went at low figures though
several hundred people were present.
The sale proclaimed the actual aban
donment of the 3,000 acres which were
purchased by Father Rapp and his fol
lowers in the spring of 1805, and that
the nndulating green hills and meadows
would soon be converted into a busy,
hustling business and manufacturing
community depriving them of the quiet
ude which has prevailed at Economy
since the inception of the colony.
The five members of the society who
dwell in the minature new Economy in
the midst of the old farm are; Franz
Gillman. Christania Rail. Barbara
Boesch, John S. Duss, the trustee of the
society, and Mrs. Duss.
The four blocks in which the few
members of the old society reside are
enclosed by a tall white painted board
fence. The buildings ana grounds are
practically unchanged since the famous
regime of Father Henrica, the aged
trustee of the society, who died about
12 years a go. The group of buildings
and the ground within the inclusure
will be retained by the survivors of the
society for life. Each of the members
save Mrs. Duss has reached an advanced
age. but are hardy and happy, and
while wealthy and with every means at
their disposal to povide themselves
with luxuries, they still adhere to the
provincialisms and customs which
characterized their ancestors.
Six months ago the Economy farm
was sold and transferred to a land com
pany. Since then the sale portions of
the" farm have been leased. These
leases will all expire after harvest
Then the territory will be laid out in
building lots and converted into a pretty
modern residental district.
The old grist mill, which has been a
landmark in Economy for at least 80
years, and which is now in a state of
decay, will soon be razed aud replaced
"by a large new series of dwellings The
old barns will also soon come down, and
within another year nothing will be left
of the original settlement but the group
of dwellings, the dance hall, church
aud the graveyard, with its weeping
willows and white tombstones, in the
centre of the town.
THE officers and ushers about the
White House had a time with a crazy
Swede from Minneapolis, Monday. He
insisted upon seeing the President, and
when arrested became violent. His
pistol was taken from him, and he was
taken to a hospital where he was found
to be insane.

price paid was $1,250 per barrel net,

more than $300,000. The price per bar

Her spirit was both gentle and strong,
and in her church life as in her home,
she lived in such a way that proclaimed
she was a Chrittian, both in name and
character.
As a mother she was pure gold, re
fined and refined. Always unselfish,
looking well to the ways of her house.
She .was faithful in the many little
things which go to make the comfort
of the home.
As a friend she was loyal and true,
always charitable in her judgment of
others.
As a hostess she was always ready to
extend the hand of welcome, and all
her friends were welcomed by her
bright cheery emile.
Although she will be greatly missed,
both among her friends and in her
family, they have the assuring thought
that she has passed on before to better
things.

The New Exposition, brilliant ai
never before In its every feature, baa
passed the half-way mark, and now li
approaching Its end with every prom
peot of success mo.re pronounced
even than that already so lavishly
recorded. Only three weeks wore
will the present season continue, and
the thoussnds of Suburbanites who
have been delaying; their visits will
do well to start for Pittsburg on the
first excursion train going there.
The musical attraction this week
Is one of exceptional strength, in
deed one of the finest yet presented.
On the stage in music hall will be
the great Vessella and his Royal
Italian band, who have created a
veritable rensation throughout the
east with their fiery presentations.
Assisting them will be the Park Sis
ters, by all odds the greatest cornet
quartet In the world.
Vessella Is a tall, thin Italian, with
a great shock of dusky hair, and
wielding an Influence over his men
which Is little short of magical. He
has wonderful musical conception,
while the effects he produces are over
whelming In their magnificence. He
has swept into favor at the New Ex
pos it ion with the fury of a whirlwind.
Of the Park Sisters one can hardly
say too much in praise, since they
play their choeen instruments with a
refinement and exquisite beauty that
baffle* verbal description. Then their
selections are such as always to
please the largest number of people.
There t« so much of Interest at the
New Exposition this year that one
hardly knows where to make begin
ning, and the excursionists already
.letting the big Pittsburg Bhow are
unanimous In their opinion that every
promise has been fulfilled and that
highest expectations have been more
than fulfilled.
Excursions will go from this city
at the one-fare rate and It will be
found advantageous to utilize the
privileges afforded without delay, tof
nothing is more delightful than a
j trip to the great Steel City, where
pleasures of shopping may be comblnp
ed with the satisfaction of an E!xpo-
