FRAUD IN PHILADELPHIA.
The Case of the Poor Made IL source
OIL Income by Swlndling MethOds

The Almshouse frauds in Phlladel-
phia are being worked up into sensa,
| ton second only to the Tax Office
steaiings. Councilman j. l.. Grim has
been engaged in their Investigation Tor
the past three months, and threatens
to make some startling exposures III
Common Council at their meeting on
Thursday week. He has ready d series
of fifty attidavits maAing sEecitlc charges
of fraud and irregularities against GER
tain members OF the Board of Guar
dians of the poor, officers Of the Aims
house, and persons connected In varl
GUS ways with the management OF that
|iustituiion These attidavits have been
maG by ex-members Of the Board OF
Guardians, discharged employees aid
inmates of the AlushOuse. Mr.. Grim
declines to make public any names oi
specification in advance of she meeting
OF Council, but it has been ascertained
that direct charges are made against
mem bers of the Board that they have
had both labor and meterials supplied
for their private use at the expense OF
the city; that goods purchased for the
Almshouse were sent direct to the houses
of officers and guardians, and that this
business has been carried on 10 such an
extent that members ofthe board have
grown rich by it. A Deficiency Appro-
priation bill amounting to more than
SlOOO was passed by Councils last
spring to meet claims against the
aim shouse, and Mr.. Grim asserts that
the whole amount of it was made no
cessary by the I'll hing OF money and
supplies from the institution.
In one case, il ID SAID, firm OF mer-
chants sold "A large bill of goods to the
Board. ard after waiting II long time
tor their money maize all investigation,
which resulted in the discovery that
tn. bill had Len approved and the mon.
ey drawn nine months before. Their
c aim was finally paid out of tn" money |
appropriated by the Deficiency bill. 1t
/. also asserted that there were two
SETS of fpay-rolls, and that the set which
went before the Board of Guardians for
contained much larger figures
than the one by which the men were
p.id, S)lne accounts were scaled by |
tle persons through whose hands they |
passed, and others were stolen outright
the warrants drawn by the City Con-
trOller in payment of them being ap-
propriated by others than the persons
for whom they were made out. An
other charge is that a warrant for
$500. pre- sented to the City Controller
to be countersigned, accompanied by
the resquisite vouchers, was found to
be a duplicate OF a warrant already
drawn and cashed.
These are some specimen drops of
what, it is said, will ne a hard shower
for number of prominent people,
;hough the present members of the
Board of Guardians profess themselves
mite Indifferent to it. Mr.. Grim says
lis principal reason for not making the
letails public is the fear that his wit
lesses may be bought off or spirited
way before the matter can be officially |
Investigated.

MIND WHAT YOU SAY.

1t is always we'll to avoid saying every
thing that is improper, especially so before
children. And here parents, as we'll as
others, are often at fault. Children have
as many ears as grown persons, and they
are generally more attentive to what is
said before them. What they hear they
are very apt to repeat, and as they have
not discretion and knowledge of the world
enough to disguise anything it is generally
found that "children and fools speak the
truth.
See that little boys eyes glisten while
you are speaking in language you would
not wish to have repeatsd. He does not
fully understand what you mean, but he
will remember every word and it will be
strange if he does not cause you to blush
by its repetition.
A gentleman was In the habit of calling
at neighbours house and the lady had al.
ways expressed to him great pleasure from
his call One day just after she had ex-
pressed to him as usual her happiness from
his visit, her little boy entered the room.
The gentleman took him on his knee, and
asked care you not glad to see me,
George?"
"No, SIR" replied the boy.
"Why?" asked the surprised visitor.
Because mother don't want you to
come, said George.
Indeed How do you know that,
George ?"
Here the mother was crimson and looked
daggers at the little son. But he saw
nothing, and therefore replied, Because
she said yesterday she wished that old
bore would not call here again"
That was enough. The gentleman's hat
was soon In requisition, and he left with
the impression that "great is the truth and
it will prevail. y
Another child looked sharply in the face
of visitor, and being asked what she
meant by it, replied
81 wanted to see whether you had a
drop in your eye; heard mother say you
had, frequently"
A boy once asked one of his father
guests who lived next door to him, and
when he heard his name, he asked if he
was not fool.
"No, my little friend" replied the
guest, che is not fool, but a very sensible
man. But why did you ask that ques-
ton 2"
because" replied the boy, "mother
said the other day that you were next door
to q fool, and l wanted to know who lived
| next door to YOU"
