Washington, P. P.?A moving picture
of conditions in the United States at
decennial intervals from 1SOO to 1 ST?0,
and aimunlly from 1ST?0 to 11)00. is pre- \
seuted in a monograph issued l?y the
Treasury Bureau of Statistics.
The area lias grown from S27.NH

the value of farms and farm property I
from $4,000,000,000 to $20,000,000,000. '
and tlie value of their product, which
was not measured until 1S7ti, grew

Washington, l >. C.?(Jeneral Chaffee
ltns oahlod the War Department that
lie and his successor, (leneral Davis,
believe another regiment of cavalry i
can be spared from .duty in the rhil- j
ipi?ines. Tito necessary orders for this ]
have been given, and he will send home
one regiment, and the headquarters j
and six troops of the ? inth Cavalry
AVill he relieved from duty and sail on
the Logan for San Francisco. The rest
of the regiment will sail two weeks
later. The stations for this regiment
In the United Slates have not yet been i
designated. It will require consider- j
able shifting of troops to provide for It. ,
The organization of a large number j
of batteries for Held artillery was an- '
thorized at the last session of Con- i
gross, and ;.tese were assigned to qunrters
and stables formerly occupied by 1
li*?<*.>. rfis iiiv accommodations for j
the* 80 butteries hnve not been constructed,
It will ho necessary to crowd
the cavalry regiment considerably to
get them under shelter for the winter,
and it may be necessary to put some
of the organisation in camp, as was
recently done with the intire Seventh
Cavalry at Chickainauga Park.

Chicago.?The familiar messenger
boy, so long identified with telegrams,
is -about to disappear, so far as tin*
branch of the Western Union Company
here is concerned. This lias been
finally decided by the local officers of
the company having the matter in
charge. The latest strike of the boys,
the third disturbance in a month,
forced the American District Telegraph
Company, which supplies the
messengers for the Western Union, to
hire 4IK) girls to taue the strikers' ,
places, and after a trial of nearly a
week it is aeclared that their services
are satisfactory The girls are worn
lug in the business district and the residence
portions of the city during the
day. The night force is made up of
young men, not boys.

Saratoga, N. Y ?Thirteen million two j
hundred thousand dollars is tlie most
conservative estimate given by experts
of the amount wagered at the Saratoga
race track during the season which lias
just ended.
Senator Patrick II. McCarren is of
the opinion that at least St?dO,?Kto a day,
on an average, lias been placed with
the bookmakers. Ilooktnaker .Joe I lima
11. who handled $12!MKKl one day
and broke the record a few days later
by handling $ I.TJ.t><>'>, declares thai on
certain days nearly or quite J?'J.tK)0.(n)!t
had been wagered. The Mcfarren and
the rilmati statements are regarded
generally as the conservative and the
extreme.
These figures do not include any
private bets which may have been
made. The Gates. the Drakes and the
Pittsburg "Phils'' have hit the bookie*
so hard at times that the sixty odd lie. a
who have done business for the twenty-two
days have not reaped the harvest
some of them expected. A careful
observer of their doings said that he
doubted if the bookies could count on
more than two per cent, profit at the
track. Tills would give them on \
$2tU,nOO to the good, out of which must
be taken at least $1h(i.oon for exnptises.

Th" foreman of the press room toM
her she must change it or quit, as it interfered
with her duty as a pressfeeder.
She appealed to Private Secretary
Ulcketts. who is looking after affairs
In the absence of Public Printer Palmer.
Mr. Picket Is courteously discouraged
her.
"I am sorry, madam." he said, "that
you are having serious differences with
Mr. MeWhnrland. I would not attempt
for anything in the world to suggest
to you how to wear your hair, which. I
am sure, is most attractive, hut the
complaint is that your hair interferes
with the feeding of the presses and
causes the spoiliug of many sheets of
paper."

Chicago.? Tlio mystery surrounding
the supposed dentil of "IMiiletus .Tones,

notice recently appeared in Chicago
newspapers, was cleared up by the
confession of John A. I. I.ee, a local
real estate broker that he had invented
"Mr. .Tonys" in order to secure real
estate commissions.
He planned n ruse whereby "Mr.
Jones" was to buy extensively of Chicago
property for hotel purposes. An
agreement was drawn up between the
supposed Jones and a real estate owner
and a commission was promised.
These promised commissions were offered
as security for a loan. Suspicion
was cast on I.ee when the death notice
appeared. In explanation, Lee. who is
an old man. said that lie felt sure he
could have sold the property to some
on<> if he had lind time. It is said no
prosecution will result.
