U. S. TREASURY COUNT.
What H Msane for New Treasurer to Go Into
Office.
, Washington, D. C, July 3. The
great count of the cash in the Treasury
has begun. A force of 60 Treasury
employees, most of them experts, are
taking an inventory of the $1,152,818,725
in the 13 cash vaults. V v
July 1st Morgon H. Treat, of New
York, took the oath of office as Treas
urer. He had already qualified in a
bond of $150,000, the largest bond given
by any. official of the United States
Government, except the sub-Treasurer
at New York, who is compelled to fur
nish bond in the sum of $400,000.
The retiring Treasurer . believes his
affairs are in such good shape that the
count can be completed in the three
months, although when he came into
office the count lasted nearly three
times as longr being the longest count

SECRETARY HAY DEAD.
Unexpectedly Pastes Array After Appearing

Newbury, N. H., July l.-Secretary
of State John Hay died at 12:25 this
morning. . '
The signs immediately preceding his
death were those of pulmonary e-nbol-ism.
- ."?' :
Mr. Hay's condition during all of Fri
day had been entirely satisfactory.
, Mrs. Hay and Drs. Scudderand Mur
phy were at the secretary's bedside
when the end came.
The secretary bade good night to his
wife and attending physicians about 10
o'clock last night at the close of one of
the best days he has had since his ill
ness. . The local trouble was clearing
up satisfactorily, . according to Dr.
Scudder. The secretary suffered none
of the old pains in his chest which
characterized his earlier illness. He
had been perfectly comfortable all day
and happy in the anticipation of leaving
his bed for the greater freedom and
comfort of a couch. .
At 11 o'clock Secretary Hay was
sleeping quietly. A few minutes after
11 he called his nurse, who at once
summoned 'Dr. Scudder. ' Both Dr.
Scudder and Dr. Murphy hastened to
the bedside. The secretary was breath
ing with difficulty and expired almost
immediately afterward, at 12:25.
A Uame Var tne Ing-enloa.
This Is a game that can be start et
In a moment and requires no prepara
tion. The Due who begins It explains
th t she will ask a riddle which can bu
solved by naming an article In the roam
which Is referred to by the question.
Tfien she says: ,
"Without a backbone, straight I atan.1.
I hold things up without a hand. -Although
I have no mouth to bite,
They bring- me food from morn till
night."
The answer to this is "table," of
course. ,
Another riddle that can be asked Is:
Although full many a key you see,
Mot one of them ran unlock me.
1 am no bank; no coin I own,
And yet I deal In notes alone,
"Piano" Is the answer.
. Another good one Is:
i Although I am Just full of feet,
I never run upon the street;
: And, though the feet are all alive,
I cannot move, bowe'er I strive. -
This riddle refers to the floor, which
Is, of course, full of the feet of the
guests.
The wall paper, the celling, the gas
chandeliers, anything and everything
in the room will lend Itself to these
amusing riddles, and the best part of
It Is that every guest can Invent
some funny rhyme, thus making It a
lively game, 1'or Instance, a riddle
having the chandelier for Its object
could run: . , . '" , ' v
Although I perpetrate no crime.
They take and bang me every time.
I alwayi do my work at night
, And though I'm heavy, yet I'm light.
There Is no end to the chances for
Ingenuity in this game.

CUTECURA
Soap, Ointment and Pills
the World's Greatest
Skin Cures.
PRICE THE SET $1
Complete Treatment for Every
Humour, from Pimples
to Scrofula.
The agonizing itching and burning
of the skin, as in eczema ; the frightful
scaling, as in psoriasis ; the loss of
hair and crusting of the scalp, as In
scalled head ; the facial disfigurement,
as in pimples and ringworm ; the
awful suffering of infants and the
anxiety of worn-out parents, as in
milk crust, tetter, and salt rheum, all'
demand a remedy of almost super
human virtues to successfully cope
with them. ThatCuticura Soap, Oint
ment, and Pills are such stands proven
beyond all doubt. No statement is
made regarding' them that is not justi
fied by the strongest evidence. The
purity and sweetness, the power to
afford immediate relief, the certainty
of speedy and permanent cure, the ab
solute safety and great economy, have
made them the standard skin cures
and humour remedies of the civilized
world.
The grandest testimonial that can
be offered the Cuticura remedies is
their world-wide sale, ue to the per
sonal lecommendations of those who
have used them. From a small begin
ning in the simplest form,, against
prejudice and opposition, against
tnonied hosts, countless rivals, and
trade indifference, Cuticura remedies
have become the greatest Curatives of
their time, and, in fict, of all time,
for nowhere in the history of mediciue
is to be found another approaching
them in popularity and Sale. In every
clime and with every people they have
met with the same reception. The
confines of the earth are the only
limits to their growth. . They thave
conquered the world.

There seems to be a great complaint
raised among some of the people in
Bridgeton about boys bathing over

should have more pride than to expose

law makes it an offense and makes the
punishment a severe one and if the
boys persist in Ihe practice, they may
expect more or less harsh treatment.
