Ellis H. Roberts, Treasurer of the United States, Washington, D. C., in opening his annual report, says that the magnitude of the available cash balance and the unprecedented holdings of gross gold are the strik ing features of the condition of the treasury at the close of the fiscal year 1902. The available cash balance in the treasury July 1, 1902, was the largest net balance in our history. It amounted to $362,187,361. The gold reserve is connted in, as it is availa ble for the redemption of legal ten ug Wotexe- N ly..onthalf "of the available cash balance July 1 was in gold, coin and certificato, $103,801, 290 over and above the gold reserve of $150,000,000, and by October 1 it became $130,124,771. As a meas ure of the financial strength of the government, the report says, the fact deserves mention. By October 1, 1902, the available cash balance, exclusive of the reserve, was $221, 253,394, and, owing to tho large measures for the relief of the money market, it was reduced by November 1 to $206,421,870. Of this sum $116,885,()12 was in national banks. To the general stock of money in the country an addition of $80,198, 681 was made during tho fiscal year. Of this $67,955,527 was in g, od coin and biullion. There was alto an iln cr ease of $19,735,259 in atandard dollais and of $7,360,991 in subsidi ary silver. United States notes re maiiied under the law unchangod. Treasury notes fell off $17,783,000 National hank notes received an in crement of $2,85l,5S9. The gold coin and bullion October 1 exceeded all other kinds of money, excluding national bank notes, I ,y $200,368,433. in five years the rat in of gold in the country to total cirea lation has run up from 36.52 to 16 45 to the hundred. The growth in the volume of money in circulation during the y ear was $741,082,589, carrying the per cap;ta from 27.98 to 28.43. The element of gold coin and gold certificates was thle largest part, and the increase reached $61 ,966, 1741 and advanced from -40.30 per cent. of the total to 41.73 per cenit. In silver of all denomi inations, including certificates, there was increase of $2t,226i, 146, of w hich $0,4186,0l-4 was in subsidiary coin. The reduction in treasury notes of $17,677,800 is due to their with drawal. T1he advance in circulation in t he volume of gold, inchidmg cert iti cati s, withini twelve years by the~ large unm of $4 33, 703,57(6, is the measure of the greater strengthi of our circulation. The adldit ion duiring the past fiscal year was $61,966,1 74 The increase in tihn future canl hiard 13y be less t han $50),000),000) to $6t), 000,000 a year. The miines, the re port says, are thbus confirming the gold at andlard steaddy~ anid inivincaibly, and it adds.-: '"or the immediate pr'esent, andI doubtless for a few years at. least, the inflow of gold will be in such large measure as to lift t he volume of cur renicy to the highest level of all nieedls of b,usin,ess. Our currency keeps lnore t hian equal pace wvith the pop1) ulat ion. On June 2 i the gold cer tificates outstanding for the first tume exceedled ini volume the United St ates notes,54 and were $347, I79,089. By November 1 they wetre $367,078,. 509. "The gold in the~treasury keeps in active circulit ion as currency the certificates issued against it, anid, moreover, $340,681,016 in United States notes and $30,000,000 in treasury notes, or over $I10,000,000) more than its own value. The ques tion may well be considered whet her the United 5t'ates nioteas may not properly be turned by Congwess into gold certificates. They have much that quality already and the change could be gradually miade as the sup ply of t he yellow mntal takes on greater proportions. "The deznnds of the people for notes of small denominations have surprised the closest. stud-nts of the currency. In 1890 there were 37, 005,880 pieces of (Governnment. paprr issued, .of t he averagAvaluie of $6 ($1 In '1902 the issue was 110,097,874 ~.and the avrevalnauea $4 - far. ,ilitieo r production h e eb e fte}i nealidp oit m be mutib,iehb for ten et'tedtro entd: "The 'Act of Darah' , 1900, cake it,the duty of the Secretary'of the Treasury to maintain the parity of value of all forms of nione'y issued r coined by the United States with the gold standard defined and fixed by that law. This parity has been and is now' easily maintained, and all kinds of Government money are exchangeable with each other. "The inflow of gold oertifioates of $20 and upwards, is the key to this maintenance of parity and inter changeability of all kinds of Govern. ment money. On the other hand, small denominations, including silver coin, are constantly in demand for the myriad transactions of retail trade and the current uses of rural communities, as well as for pay rolls in furnaces and factories and har vest fields. The treasury in recent years, continues the report., has heard much more clamor for silver and enal.notes than for gold. -1s now abundantly able to meet all calls for every kind of money for its own obligations, for redemption and for legitimate transfers. As a result of the movements which have been noted our Government paper curren cy is gaining in simplicity. Gradually all large denominations are becom ing gold certificates and the smallest silver certificates, while in time all $10 will be United States notes." EA II1. 1)F,VOl Et) TO SCI I NUE. J.,hn It. lveta'nd'4 Lbnrral and Appropri. ate (lft to Wofrord Uollege. [News and Courier.] On Friday last Mr. John B Cleve land, of Spartanburg, addressed a letter to Dr. Carlisle and Prof. Du Pro, of WofTord College, saying: I. is my intention to build on the campus, site to be selected by you, a ball to be devoted to science, and present same to Wofford College. I have requested Prof. DuPre to take charge of the matter and get plans and specifications. He told tue this morning that plans had virtually been decided upon and I now- authorize you to make necessary contracts in order to have the work completed as son1 as practicable, though I pre sume nothing much can be dune be. (ore spring. In acknowledging the receipt of the Iclner Dr. Carlisle and Prof. Du Pre say: ''Your letter with its very liberal p,r.)mii, will carry gladness to the frienrds of Wofford College arnd of education in our State. TIhe College stands on ground once owned by your family. There will be historic fitntess im an appropriate building on the campus, associatced with your namse. May yon live many years to see tIhe fruits of t he generous interest you have alwvays taken in your Alma Mater." There was riot hing dramatic about the way ini which Mr. Cleveland made his gift to Wofford College, but it means a great deal for the College and ihe cause of liberal learning in Southb Carolina, anrd entitles the giver to thre 'hanks of all who are int er* sted in educational progress wit hout regard to the particnlar in st it ution which is theobeneficiary of his bounty. Mr. Cleveland is onn of the progressive men in the State, anid has b'een one of the ac.tive pro raters of the mar vellous inidustriaul deCvelopmnent of Sparta! burg. It is hoped that his example will he foI. lowed by ot her progressive timd pub. lie spirited citizens of .t he State. Ho did rnot wait until he died to do some th)ing for the public benefit. Thbere are other rich men in South Carolina whbo could (10 as much, or muore, than Mr Cleveland for WofTord College, or for other institutions of learning ini the State, but they hold on to heir dollars and never respond to anty great piublie neesssity, except in the most illiberal spirit. If tbey would give as Mr. Cleveland has given thle Collegi s would alt be well equipped insttuttions abreast of the progress of l be time's. O IiO L IN I-Ul A.MsON 110w.

A Conversat,on on a Train ftetween 0. n. Wallace and the Uolonel Brought About the Produoton of the Nook. i Col. Bob Iugersall gev6 Gen Le w Wallace the incepixjojw.,rit."BeIg flur," accrding to an interview with the famous writer in The Philadel phia Inquirer. He had already writ ten a serial story of the nativity, but had laid the manuscript aivay- While on a train Gen. Wallace met Inger soll, who invited him to sit down be side him. "Well, if you will let me dictate the subject, I will," said I. "Certainly. That's exactly what I want." I took a seat by him and be gan: "Is there a God?" Quick as a (lash, he replied: "I don't know; do yon ?" "Is there a heaven ?" - "I don't know; do you?" "Is there a hereafter?" "1 don't know: do you?" I finished, saying: 'There, colonel, you have the texts. Now go." And be did. He was in a prime mo4d; and, beginning, his ideas turn ed to spt,ech, flowing like a heated river. His manner of putting things was marvelous: and as the wedding guest was held by the glittering eye of the ancient mariner, I sat spell. bovnd for two hours, listening to a medley or argumeol, eloqunce, wit. satiro, andlacity, irreverence, poetry, brilliant antitbesi and pungent ex coriati,in.-if believers in God, Christ and heav,ii, the like of which I had never heard. He surpassed himtelf, and that is saying a great deal. "When we separated at Indiana. polis it was a long distance to my des8tinat ion, b'ut I preferred to walk, for I wais in a coinfussioin of mind not un,like d.'zemuent. "To explain this it is necf'ssary now to confess that. my attitude with res.pect to religion had been one of absojlute indilfferen)ce. I had heard it argund times innumerable, always without interest. So too, 1 bad read the sermons of great preachers, but always for the surpassing charm of their rhetoric. But-how strange! To lift mec ont of my indifference, one wvouldt think only strong affirmations of things regarded holiest would do. Yet here was I moved as never before and( by what? The moat outright de ntials of all human knowledge of God, Christ, beaven and the hereafter. He hiad made me ashjamed of my ignor anice; and then-here is the unexpect ed of the affair--as I walked on in the cool dlarko sa I was aroused for the first time in ...::' life to the impor. tminee of religion. And while casting rouniid how to set about the study to the best advantage I thought of the manuscript in my desk. Its olosi,ig scene was the child of Christ in the cave by Bethlehem; why not go on with L.be st ory diown to the crucitixion. "I did as [ resolved, with results first, the boo0k of 'BenHur"' and, sec ond, a conviction amounting to abso lute belief in God and the divinity of Chirist."
