COUNTED BY MILLIONS. 11 11 EXPENSES OF CARRYING ON THE GOVERNMENT. 1 One Hundred Million Dollars Will Be l’aid Yearly to the New Democratic Officers — Comparative Statement of ! Wealth in the United States. Where .the Money Goes. Washington correspondence: After all it is not so remarkable that there is something of a demand for the offices. The salaries paid to Government employes amount in round numbers to $100,010,(100 a year, and in the four years’ term which is ahead of the Democracy, will foot up the handsome total of $400,010,000, or thereabouts. Fos'sibly the figure may not reach quite this amount at the present, but the chances are that it will overrun it before the four years’ term ends, for with the growth of the country there is no getting away from the growth in the number of offices and the amount that must be paid in salaries. The talk of a reduction in offices and the salaries of those who occupy them is “moonshine." It can not be done without neglecting the business of the Government, and as there are 66,000,000 people to pay for having it done, and well done, there is no occasion for a niggardly economy which would prove disastrous - in a business way. Probably few of the people who are scrambling for places realize that the total amount of salaries paid to Government employes so jts up so large a sum as a hundred million dollars a year. Yet this Is only a dollar and a half apiece all around, now that our population is 66,000,000 people. And this only make a the average salary of the 200,000 people who hold office under the Government about five hundred dollars per annum each. Something of the details of where this money goes may be of Interest. The diplomatic service is not so expensive a luxury as would be supposed probable. The salary of Ministers amounts to only $340,000 per annum; Secretaries of Legation $40,000 per annum, and Consuls $500,000, while there is also an additional allowance of about : SIOO,OOO for clerks ami consulates. 'I ho salaries in the offices of the Secretary of the Treasury amount to about a half million dollars a year, but this does not include the various divisions in which the salaries run from a few thousand up to more than a half million dollars per annum. The salaries for the office of Secretary of War amount to over one hundred thousand dollars, ami those of the Record ami Pension divisions of the War Department foot up over one million dollars per annum. The pay of the ollie rs of the Hiro in the army is s'‘,Boo,ooo, and there is added to that SOO,OOO for pay of officers for length of Service. The pay ol the enli-ted men of th" army is $1,100,OOP; ofTc os < n the retired list, $1,122,m 0. The pay table ot the navy is about half ns much as that of the War I’epartment, Mid the total salaries of the Treasury Department, inclu ling over two nillbons in the Internal Revenue Service alone is about tw< Ive million- of dollars. The Interior Department -pends about five million dolia s a year lor salaries, the Agricultural Department a little over a million, aud the Department o Justice about the same. The Postoffice Department, however, is the one which piles up the total of salaries, Even in the r<>stt»ni<i’ Department in Washington the salaries amount to nearly a million dollars a year, and when you branch out into the postal service all over the country it becomes appalling. The appropriations for the fiscal year ju-t al out to end allotted $1250,mm for postmaster- and $10,764,000 for the free delivery service. There should be added to this $5,00',0 0 for carrying the mails by star routes, most of which is for salaries; mail-mes-senger service over a million dollars, and railway postoffi e clerks $ ’>,631,000. Even Congress is a somewhat expensive luxury. The pay of Senators amounts to about half a million dollars a year and that of Representatives a' out $2,000,000 a year, to say nothing of the amounts paid for the employes, clerks, stenographers, and messengers who assist them in their duties. Nothing better ami more happily illustrates the growth of this country and prosperity of the people than a comparison of the conditions at this time with those which existed when Mr. Cleveland came into office eight years ago. That the country has been prosperous under the two administrations which are represented in those eight years is evident. Then there were 7,750 banks, now there are 10,000. Their capital stock then was §750,060,000, now it is over a billion. The people then had $2,700,000,004 laid away in the banks “for a rainy day,” now they have $4,70(1,000,000 so deposite I in the banks. ' Our national wealth, which then was $48,000,0 0,000, is now $09,0( 0,000,010.1 The average per capita ot wealth in the . United States, including property an i I money, then was SB6O for each individual. while to-day it is in round numbers SI,OOO. LIKE RATS IN A TRAP. ' Ten Ilves Go Out in the Bowels of the Earth. One of the most distressing disasters that ever occurred in the anthra ite region followed the explosion of a lamp in the hands of a Hungarian employed in the Nelson colliery near l Shamokin, Pa. The colliery, which is i operated by J. Langdon A Co., is one of the largest and best known in the region, pa)»ig superior wages and furnishing work to its thousand employes the year around. Fire followed the explosion, and the smoke which rushed through the air shafts caught ten men who had gone to work in a vein above the scene of the explosion and smothered them to death. The day being a holiday there were not so many men at work as usual. Others for the same reason wore late in reaching the mine, and it is owing to these fortunate facts that the death list is not very much larger. The fire started about twenty feet from the bottom of the slope, where theie is an oil-house, which is used by the men to change their working clothes for others before leaving the mines. About 6:50 in the morning a Hungarian was filling his lamp and it exploded, igniting the oil ’about h’m. He rushed from the oil-house and the fiamesspread with rapidity. Attempts were made to fight the fire, but those who started to do so were compelled to flee for their lives. They succeeded in reaching the bottom of the shaft and were hauled to the surface along with some belated miners ■who owe their lives to the fact that they did not go to work at their usual time. The ten men who lost their lives were at

I work in the red ash vein, located nearly 1 I 10 i feet above where the fire broke out. | Through an airway from the lower । I vein to the red ash vein the smoke poured, suffocating the unfortunates like rats in a trap. Almost the entire town gathered in the vicinity of tho > burning mine, from the air passages of • which great volumes of smoke were isf suing. The scenes were most distressing. The wives and < hildren of the imprisoned men uttered agonizing cries and implored the men in the crowd to rescue their loved ones. Although the hardest kind of work was done, it was impossible tor the volunteer force to extinguish the flames. Later orders were given to turn Carbon Hun Creek into the mine. This will take a month, and many more months will follow before tho mine will be in condition to resume operations. FIVE BURNED TO DEATH. Fatal l ire in a Hotel at Bradford, Pa “Crow’s Nest” Destroyed. Five lives were lost and twenty-two people injured by the burning of the ■ Higgins House, Sunday morning, at ; Bradford, Fa. The dead are: bliss Georgia Bond, Bradford, Thomas Cul--1 len, Bradford; F. Havelin, Sanberry; j George Parks, Bradford; Baby Tucker, aged 3, drowned in the creek. The prei vious night 125 persons went to sleep in ’ tht Higgins Hotel, a frame structure I three stories high on the bank of the | Tuna, a small creek. At 4:30 a vig- ' orous ringing of tho big bell on the hill aroused the whole town. A brisk wind was blowing at the rime, and it fanned the flames in the hotel and gave them strength and vigor. When the firemen leached the s eao the whole hotel was • nveloped in tire. It was of wood and burned like a vast heap of straw. There was an awful panic in the hotel when the guests were aroused. The men and women rushed from their rooms into the hallwavs. tilled already with smoke and flame, and jumped from the windows. The jump was a bad one to take. From the upper story it was thirty feet on the west side, with a plank bottom so strike on. On the east si le was the creek an I the distance was forty feet, but several persons made the bap for life into the stream and were I rescued. At Buzzard's Bay, Mass., toe Jeffer- ’ son’s beautiful villa. Crow s Nest, was destroyed by tire which started :n the ■ cellar, caused by a gas ex> ’ sion. So rapidly did the flames progress that it was with much difficulty that Mrs. Jefferson a'd tiro family made their escape. ■ Several of the servants were severely j burned, and the cook, Helen McGrath, ; b st her life, being suffocated in tho basement.

If You Want The Best A LTHOUGH you may have had good luck with but few failures in making cake and biscuit in the old-fashioned way with soda and sour milk, or soda and cream of tartar, you will hax e better luck and (following directions) no failures with the Royal Baking Powder. The truth of this must be evident when you remember that in the leading hotels and restaurants, and in the homes of our city cousins, where the latest and best methods are invariably employed, and where the most beautiful and dainty food is always set out for the guests, the Royal Baking Powder is exclusively used for all quickly risen food. Royal Baking Powder never disappoints; never makes sour, soggy or husky food; never spoils good materials; never leaves lumps of alkali in the biscuit or cake; while all these things do happen with the best of cooks who cling to the old-fashioned methods, or who use other Baking Powders. If you want the best food, Royal Baking Powder is indispensable.

Tonsils CHutrrlyrd In For tho past five months a girl of 13, of good family, had been lying in a state of complete lethargy in a private hospital at Vesinet, outside Paris. The sleeping maiden has recently been restored to consciousness by" Dr. Reffegeau, who had charge of her, in a peculiar manner. Sho usually lay asleep with her - mouth wide open and her throat exposed to vl« w. The physician noticed that one of the tonsils was enlarged, so he resolved to cauterize it with a red-hot iron, an operation which would be beneficial to the patient, even if it did not have the effect of terminating her cataleptic condition. After tho Iron ha I done Its work, the girl, who had been previously insensible to the pricking of pins, manifested uninistukable s gns of jam and uttered a feeble cry. From that moment she began to return gradual y to consciousness, and at last awoke, saying to the* nun who was taking < uro of her, “Where am I?" Tho patient had no recollection or notion of anything that had taken place during tho tho months in which she was asleep, and manifested the greatest surprise when told a' out her extraordin ar: y long slumber. She is now said to be in a normal state of health, full of spirits, and eager to make uj> for her long silence. — Loudon Telegraph.
