I Greater Than 'Expenditures by Three» quarters of a Million. 'Washington, March 1.—.—Treasury offi- " cials are highly elated over‘ the results of the revenue law, for the total figures show a surplus over expenditures of nearly th1ee- quarters of a million for the month just closed The glatifying featuie of these returns is the fact that they have increased steadily day by day, and that yesterday’s receipts of $1,875,729 are among the highest on record for the month. The figures are made up of $1,054,783 from internal revenue, $603,965 from customs and $216,981 from miscellaneous sources. The expenditures amount to $584,000. The total February receipts up to Saturday night were $26,696,628, of which $14,436,715~ was from customs. The closing figures yesterday bring the total up to $28,572,357, of which $15,240,- 680 is from customs. February, there- fore, though three days shorter than January, exceeds the latter month by over a million in customs alone. Treasury oificials believe they can now count upon an average of 21 mil— lion a day in receipts, and are confi— dent that the returns for the remainder cf the fiscal year willvshow a suflicient surplus to reduce the deficit created from July 1 last to date. It is be— lieved at the'department~ that sugar importations have figured somewhat this month in the customs returns, but not to anything like the extent which they must hereafter. The same is true of wool, though heavy returnsfrom those importations are not expected for several months yet. FIRE w A HARVARD DO'RMITORY. Two Students Jump from Fourth Floor— One Severely Hurt. Cambridge, Mass, March 1.—A build- lng on Massachusetts avenue, known as The Hilton, was partly consumed by fire yesterday afternoon. The ground floor was occupied by a billiard room and tobacco store, while the upper stories were occupied by students, who had their rooms there. Only two of the students were in the building when the fire broke outfand they escaped by ijping from a fourth story window into a blanket held by several firemen in the street, seventy— five feet below.- James Barclay Henney was the first to jump. He showed great coolness and calculated his jump so that he landed directly on the blanket. The firemen, however, did not have a suffi- ciently tight hold on the blanket, and Hanney’s weight tore it from their grasp. He landed on the asphalt pave- ment with considerable force, and had his arm and nose broken by the fall. The other student, whose name could not be learned, landed safely, and as the firemen this time held the blanket securely, he was unhurt. The'building was completely gutted and it is thought that the loss will be in the neighborhood of $50,000. Henney’s chances of recovery are slight. llIurdered in the Street. New York, March 1.—In sight of half a dozen persons Emil Gulzman walked up behind Nicholas VJ. Pontius in, East Fifty-ninth street, near Third avenue, yesterday, and fired five bullets into his body, killing him instantly. In a few moments Gulzman was arrested by a. policeman who heard the shots fired. There is much mystery as to the cause of the shooting. Gulzman has hinted that it was due to a family affair, while the police have heard that a. gambling debt was the cause. Both men are known in certain sporting circles. The man who did the killing is 28 years old. a. diamond broker, and-lives in No. 978 Third avenue. Pontiu is 39 years old a. Stone mason, and lives in No. 200 East Fifty- ninth street. To Examine Suicide’s Heart. San Francisco,.Cal., March 1.—Cor- oner Hawkins has been requested by the military authorities at the Presidio to turn over to them the heart of Jo- seph Foque, the ex—soldier, who com-- mittedsuicide last Friday by shooting himself 'with one of the new Krag- Jorgensen rifles, recently adopted by the Government for the use of the army. It is reported that the military people stated it was their intention to send the heart to the Surgeon-General of the United States Army, in order that the destructve power of a bullet from! the new army rifle when fired into the body of a human being, might be determined. King George’s Assailant Arrested. Athens, March 1.—One of the men who attempted to kill King George and his daughter, Princess Marie, on Sat- urday has been arrested. His name is Karditza. He was employed in the municipal service of Athens in a subor- dinate capacity. ‘ Karditza confessed his guilt of attempting to kill King George and Princess Marie, and ex- pressed regret that he had not been successful. He refused to. divulge the name of his accomplice. No River and Harbor Bill. Washington, March 1.—It can be' stated positively that no river and har- bor bill will be reported at this session of Congress. The House leaders are opposed to it, and the friends of the bill on the committee believe it would be better to wait until the short session after the Congressional elections next fall, when a complete and comprehen- sive bill can be reported, rather than to attempt to pass an inadequate bill at this session. .

F-erris, known throughout the world for his invention and con- struction of the great Ferris wheel at the Chicago world’s fair, are still held at the crematory of a local undertaker for unpaid funeral expenses, contracted over a year ago.

London, March 1.-—The Carlist organ, "El Correo,” of Madrid, in its issue of February 22, just received here by mail, pays: "There is no doubt whatever that the loss of the ’Maine was due to lack of discipline,” and gives the case vof a United States cruiser which was lately at Venice, describing her crew as “being “rather pirates than the sailors . of a civilized nation." Continuing, El Correo remarks: “Drunkards, insubordinates, thieves and fighters, the sailors of the United States never set foot ashore without creating riots nightly. Several of them slept in jail, or were -taken on board under arrest, until the municipality was forced to formally complain to the com- mander. and request him not to allow his men to land, as otherwise they could not be anSwerable for the conse- quences. ‘Had these officials belonged to the Christina regime, the United States would have replied by demand- ing an indemnity, or an apology, or both, with the certainty of obtaining it. tention was paid to it, the cruiser leav- tention was pai dto it, the cruiser leav- ing Italy. This naval convict ship, which is never free from the fumes of alcohol, must be a twin sister of the Maine. It is a marvelous thing, in such lhands, that one of their ships does not 2blow up daily.” The Imparcial of February 25 temper- ately approves the “growing sentiment that concession has reached its limits,"_ and expresses the belief‘that‘ “the best forces in Spain are c'onvinced=that the time has arrived to firmly, though with moderation and calmness, assert the honor of the fatherland.” The Imparcial concludes: “Let Span— iards remember that Cuba is the key to our position. If within a. brief space we succeed in pacifying the island, the danger of external war will forthwith disappear and, though we do not for a. moment believe it will, should this war break out, Cuba will be the only bat- tlefield. " > The Globe comments upon the “friend- ly and even cordial relations between the two Cabinets," and gathers from the recent speech of President McKin- ley at Philadelphia. that the chances all favor peace. It blames the fierce jin- goism of certain Spanish papers for [11 ovokmg similar bellicose. utterancs in the United States, and adds: 4 - “When Spanish papers constantly in- form the United States that war is im- minent, the latter cannot do otherwise than prepare for hostilities.” .El Liberal warns the people “against those who are seeking to misinterpret every act and word of the Unitc’ States,” and geritieises the “efforts of the Carlists to block autonomy," which it adds, “the liberals. are loyally trying to put-into effect in Cuba." \ ‘5‘; The Trip Postponed. “Silas, we can't take your umbrella to Europe With us," said old Mrs. Stig gins. “The advertisement says that nc cotton will be carried on the'passen- gcl‘ steamers." “Then we'll stay home,’ said Silas. “thing, so wet as the Atlantic ' Ocear .‘ without my ‘umbrella."—'—Harper’s Be. ‘ the first out—going #:- flfiEEE-‘EE'E’E'EEEEEEIE'EE—EiEE-EEEES‘W “I ain’t a—goin across any - LlKED'HER'HOME'bN s'HIPBOAao. How a Shrowd “roman Got the Best of -1 Steamboat Company. The following true tale is a mo; 1 curious instance pf living well on new ing a year without breaking the 1.: 11. ~ of the land. About twenty years ago, a steam packet company of Liverpool 'wished to buy a piece of land which was owned by ,a. “stay-at—home spins’ , ter,” as her neighbors described heir. She sold her land at a very low price, but insisted upon a clause ,being in-. serted in the agreement giving her the right, at any timeduring her life, to travel with a companion in any of the company’s vessels. - . When, the agreement was closed she sold her furniture and went on board ship belonging to the packet company. For years this wise spinster lived nearly 'all the time upon one ship or another, frequently accompanied by a. companion, accord-V1 ing to the agreement. This was al- ways a person who otherwise would have been a regular passenger, but who purchased her ticket at reduced rates by paying the spinster instead of the packet company. The company offered her more than twice the value of the land if she would give up her privilege; but this She would not do. Her reply was: “YOu got the, land cheap, and I like sailing; so 'we ought both to be satisfied.”—-Lippincott‘s M gazine. Strange but True. Bronco Bill—See any curious sights in New York, Tom?

Of the thirty-seven newspapers the American colonies at the time of g the Revolution, several were owned and managed by women.’ The first newspaper published in Rhode Island was owned and edited by Mrs. Anna Franklin, and established in 1832. She and her two daughters wrote the items and set the type and their servants worked the printing press. For her quickness and correct- ness Mrs. Franklin was appointed printer to the colony, Supplying pam- phlets to the colonial officers. In 1772 Clementine Reed was publishing a pa- per in Virginia. called the Virginia Ga- ‘ zette, favoring the colonial cause and greatly offending the Royalists; two, years later Mrs. H. Boyle started a pa- per under the same name, advocating the cause of the Crown. Both were published at Williamsburg, and both were short lived. . In 1773 Elizabeth Timothy started a. paper in Charleston, S. C. After the Revolution Anna Timothy became its editor and was appointed State printer, which position she held for, seventeen years. About the same time Mary Crouch started a paper in Charles- town in vigorous opposition to the Stamp act. She afterward moved it to Salem, Mass, and continued its publi- cation for many years. \Vhat She Feared.
