OM Offender Come* Bach James McGirt, a uegro who has been tried tn the courts for numerous crimes/ and who nerved a sentenco of a number of years for stealing cattle, came back to Camden Sunday night and Burreu 'dered-to the city and county authorities on Tucwlay. He left .here about a ^ear ago, soon after the guard house was burglarized "%nd over $500 worth of con traband whiskey was stolen therefrom. Police oljieem made a raid on McGirt's house and succeeded in finding more than twenty pints of whiskey concealed in a trap door arrangement. McGirt ship ped out and was placed under "$800 bond by Magistrate Nicholson upon aj charge of storing wfrlskoy. The city also placed him under a $100 bond upon a similar charge. ' - fie is sakl to haye been the instigator of many burglaries and cattle stealing iu and around Camden, but having an abundance of ready caxh always manages to keep off the gang. It will be remem bered that a former governor ordered a fine refunded to him that had been imposed for selling whiskey. The negro got his money back and since that time has been abouC as bold a culprit as the police had to contend with. r ? ? - - - ?

He could' bUy all the taxable real estate and property in Philadelphia and' givjK-every perron , in the city $13,200 -to?addition. ? ? ? - - ? 1 ThJ? amount of money in silver dol lars. if loaded into freight cars would fill 7,883 trains of twenty cam each and each car carrying forty tons, and there wOuld be about six cur londs left bo pay the crews. ? In silver dollar* it would weigh 12, 500,000,000 pounds. These trains, loaded with silver dol lars, would reach from Phlladelrfhla to San Francisco. The direct cost of the war for all belligerent nations to last May is re ported at about $178,000,000,000. For purely military and naval pur poses all belligerents spent about $182, 000,000,000 to May 1, or about three fourths of the total war cost. The bal "ance represent* Interest on debt and oth er indirect war expenses. 'About $4 ?), 000, 000, 000 of the total war cost has been raised by war loans and comparatively little by taxation. Heroafter the annual burden of the sev en principal belligerent* to pay Interest and sinking fund allowances will be not less than $10,000,000,000 and probably much more. ? Philadelphia Bulletin.
