Today, however, we find that the greater city has no less than 212 Institutions of this character. When we add In the branches wo make a total of 326 different bank lug organizations or places where de posit accounts are opened and the different branches of the banking business carried on. Of the total of 212 actual institu tions 44 are national banks, 61 are State banks, 52 savings banks and 65 trust companies.

Appropriations Made by This Session Exceed One Billion Dollars Facing a Big Deficit Estimated Excess of Expenditures Over Receipts is (60,000,000 For the Fiscal Year. Thought I'nrle Sam Owns Washing ton. In spite of all the Illuminating in formation that is sent out of Wash ington by the newspaper correspond ents and magazine writers, the pub lic, somehow, can never be made to understand the exact relations of the government to the citizens of the District of Columbia. A business man from Indiana, who was here the other day and thought he knew all about It insisted to some friends that the government owned every foot of ground in the original boundaries of ten miles square and leased to the inhabitants what was not needed for government buildings. Washington, D. C. This Congress leaves behind a record of unprece dented expenditures. Coming to Washington fresh from the scenes of the financial disturbance of the early fall, it has pushed the appropriations for the first session of the Sixtieth Cdtogress above the billion dollar mark. Not so very many years ago Speak er Reed and hiB billion dollar Con gress startled the country. Now the country has reached billion dollar sessions, and it takes two sessions to make a Congress. Not only does the billion dollar ses sion follow closely the receding wave of a financial flurry, but it conies with a Treasury depleted and faring a de ficit estimated for the fiscal year ut 60,000,000, and for the current year ending December 31, 1908, at $100, 000,000. The official statement of the Treasury Department recently showed an excess of expenditures above receipts of 153,018,829.37. The excess of receipts over expendi tures was 158,410,542.53 one year ago, making a difference on the wrong side of the ledger of $111,429,371.90. Nearly all the annual supply bills have received consideration from the House of Representatives, In which they originate. Not one has been passed by this Congress which does not show a substantial increase above the amount carried last year. The Increase runs from $300,000, added to the amount of the Indian bill, to $26,000,000 In the annual appropria tion for the navy. Exceeding Last Session's Figures. Making a conservative estimate, and adding the actual increases shown In those passed or under con sideration, the appropriations of this session exceed those of the second session of the last Congress by $104, 300,000. To this sum must be added the amount in the public building bill demanded by those having close dis tricts, where the judicious distribu tion of the contents of tho "pork bar rel" helps to turn the tide of votes. A conservative estimate of the provis ions of this bill is $20,000,000. Added to the Increases carried in the appropriation bills this gives un aggregate of $124,300,000, and raises the estimate of the appropriations made and contemplated by the pres ent session of Congress to $1,044, 248,679.63. The total appropriation of the last session of Congress amounted to $919,948,679.63. The increases, actual and esti mated, are, in round numbers: Navy $26,000,000 Pensions 17,000,000 Postofnce 10,000,000 Sundry Civil 1,500,000 Deficiencies 18,000,000 Agriculture 2,100,000 Army 16,300,000 Diplomatic and Con sular 450,000 Fortifications 3,700,000 Indian 300,000 Legislative 400,000 Miscellaneous 4,250,000 Permanent annual ap propriations 4,3(10,000 Public Building bill... 20,0(Tu,000 Total $124,300,000 Totals of Money Kills. Some of the expenditures author ized by Congress for the fiscal year 1909 are, in round numbers, $11, 000,000 carried in the fortifications bill; $222,000,000 in the postofftce bill; $98,000,000 for the army; $123,000,000 for the navy; $163, 000,000 for pensions, including $15, 000,000 to carry the widows' pension bill passed at this session; $106,000, 000 In the sundry civil bill; $8,000, 000 in the Indian bill; $33,000,000 in the legislative, executive and ju dicial bill, and $24,000,000 In the urgent deficiency bill. The leaders have raised warning voices and urged the cutting down of annual estimates submitted to Con gress. These suggestions have not kept the figures down and have had little good effect. Democrats are already preparing to make use of the figures furnished by their opponents in campaign docu ments, and are hoping for success on the record of the party in power. Most, if not all, of the committees making up the money bills have failed by many thousands of dollars to meet the estimates made by the executive departments. The tendency has been always to Increase rather than decrease the amounts expended iu former years. R. O. Dun ft Co.'t Weekly Review of Trade says: Weather conditions have, exercised much Influence this week on retail trade in seasonable merchandise and dealings at the leading commodity exchanges. Low temperature check ed the demand for light wearing ap parel In a market that was already backward, and heavy rains started reports of damage to the crops, yet there was no evidence of serious In jury. Manufacturing conditions show little change, much machinery being idle, and new business coming for ward slowly. In some industries there is still a disposition to wait for lower prices, although restricted demand during the past six months must render replenishment of stock almost Imperative. Confidence grows In the textile markets as stocks tn the hands of dealers box-onie depressed, and It It known that the time must be near for replenishment. Most Interest is naturally shown in quarters where there has been the least response In recent months, but orders are still conservative, although Increasing In number and the recovery In raw ma terta supplies an element of strength among makers of cotton goods. Bradstreet's says: Weather, trade and Industrial con dttions are little changed from last week and farm work, retail and job bing business and the movement of old crops to market has been re stricted by havy rains, low tempera tures or bad roads. The only notable exceptions to this are found In the Pacific Coast, and at a few South western centers. After Six Years of Misery and Wrong Treatment. John A.

Disturbances which threat ened to become a riot arose at the Longchamps rare course on Sunday from the appearance in the members' enclosure of four young womsn at tired in ultra-fashionable gowns.

The gowns were so classic, so tight- fitting and so transparent that some tlonal of them have a divided skirt showing the outlines of tbe lower limbs. The excitement became so great that the police were obliged to re move tho young women from the en closure. A blushing policeman wrapped his cloak around a divided skirt and conducted the owner to a cab. Summonses were talked of, but the police decided not to act. Director Touny, of the municipal police, said: "It seems these dresses are the of the onlookers rubbed their eyes in latest fashion. I think them some amazement.

The ordeal of spending a year on trains has been gone through with by an American In Europe for a wng er of $6,000. His route was from Vienna to Luiz, Salzburg and Luns brnck, repeated without mlSBlng a train. He was at first loath to take the wager because experience had taught him how wearisome railway train life was, buf the prospect of winning t tie money for his family enticed him to accept. He soon realized that he had underrated his troubles. Nervous at tacks came on him when he stepped ffom the train, and be felt the ground quivering beneath him. After some weeks of boundless monotony, and although he read, slept, spoke and moved about in his compartment, he fell like one robbed of his freedom. The specter of his possibly going mad so tortured him that he felt his will undergoing a constant struggle not to go near the door. Worst of all was ihe hot summer, when only Iron energy and complete abstinence from smoking and drink ing excepting fruit Juices kept him going. He ate little food. Most Popnlar Xsrne For Brides. Ann was the most popular nam'; for brides In 1907. The Maggies, the Marys, the Kates and the Bosles, all of whom have in past years carried off the honor, must now bow to Ann. Thomas C. Smith, Ihe application clerk of tho marriage license bureau, has for years kept a record of the most popular names of brides, and his records for 1907 show that there have been more brides with Ann as a handle to their names and sur names than any other. Katie carries off second honors, and Mary, once so popular, drifted away back to the seventh place. In 1906 Maggie won first place, but now she takes third place. Mr. Smith places the 10 most pop ular brides of 1907 In their respect ive standing as follows: Ann. Kale. Maggie, Elizabeth, Sarah. Carrie, Mary, Rosa, Emma and Clara. Phil adelphia Bulletin.
