WOMEN AND FINANCES.
A Testimonial 10 the Integrity OF the Sex as
Money-Handlers.
[Albany ,Journnl,l

Although hundreds OF women hold posi-
tons OF financial trust in the country, we
have yet to hear OF one Of them being guilty
OF embezzlement or deialcatiOn. The evil
dence clearly sustains the position OF those
who believe that women are qualified,
morally. physically, and intellectually,
for the handling OF money in stores
or in banks. General Spinner. who
first Introduced women into the United
State Treasury, left on record strik-
ing testimonial to the efficiency and
integrity OF the sex, and no one ever had
a better opportunity 10 study the question
than he, who at one time had one thousand
women under his direction. engaged chief
ly in handling money. He testifies that
they count more accurately and rapidly
than men; that their ability to detect coun-
terieits proved to be superior in almost
every test; that they were, without an eX-
ception, honest, and were invariably more
careful and painstaking in their work.
Complaints Of inaccuracy and careless
ness on the part OF men were made fire.
quently during General Spinner's admins
tI'ation OF the United States Treasury,
but such complaints against lady clerks
were few. The shrewdest and quickest
detectors Of counterfeit currency were
women, and in case Of dispute as to
the genuineness Of money General
Spinner invariably took the Judgment
Of a Miss Grandin, who was for a
long time employed in his bureau.
In speaking OF her ability IN this
particular one day, General Spinner said :
"lf were believer in clairyoyance I
should say that she possessed that power
but / am not, so l call it instinct" AL.
though there are several thousand women
employed by the Government as clerks. ac-
countants, postmistresses, and in other ca
pacities, not one has ever proved unfaith-
full TO her trust. Many have been dis
charged for incapacity and for other rea-
sons, but never one for dishonesty.

In the lower House Of the Hungarian
Diet Thursday, Herr Tisza, Prime Minis
ter, answered the inquiry OF Herr Helfy as
IN whether Russia had joined the Austro-
German alliance. He said he was gratihed
at Herr Heliy's admission that the treaty
with Berlin had caused a certain degree oil
embarrassment in Russia. The intimate
alliance OF Austria and Germany remained
intact. Its object was peace. Other row.
ers were approaching the alliance without
actually joining it, or desiring to modify
il. This evidence OF the effect and force
OF the alliance was further guarantee oil
what Hungary desired-of what every
body desired-peace. 1t was utterly UNI
true that Russia sought to disturb the
peace, or that she desired, by coming to a
closer understanding with Germany, to
prejudice the relations OF Germany with
Austria.

dreadful Accident I'm a Furnace

A Pittsburgh telegram Of the 18th says
This evening the gas in the furnace OF the
r. Edgar Thomson Steel-Works. at Brad
dock, Penn, exploded, instantly killing
William Mccall and seriously iniuring
James Murray and Chris. Toole. The
conclusion was terrific, rending the fur
mace asunder and scattering the dfbriS in
all directions. Mccall, who was on Il
hoist when the explosion occurred, would
have escaped unhurt il he had not become
frightened and jumped. His body was
mashed TO Jelly, and death resulted IN
stantly. Murray was burned and scalded
externally and internally. so that little hope
is entertained OF his surviving. Toole was
badly burned about the head and shout
ders, but will recover. The cause Of the
explosion is not known.

DIMINUTIVE DESPERADOES.
A Band or Boys Organized 10 Poison Their
Respective Mothers.

An Oil City, Pa, telegram OF Sunday
says: A band OF would-be cowboys,
whose members do not average ten Years
Of age, has been broken up IN Franklin by
the spanking process, literally admins
tered by parental hands. The boys had
fixed their place in a manner that would
have done credi. to the worst desperate
OF the West. They held their meetings,
matured their plans, and few days ago
had everything in readiness for the de-
parture. Their captain. famiIiarly called
"Deadwood Jim," gave the final COM
mand. In order to have no cause to re-
turn he said each member Of the band must
poison his mother. He promised to pro-
duce the poison and have II on hand the
next day, when II would be divided.
All the boys we're to poison their mothers
In the evening, and morning was to
fnd them far away. No doubt they would
have carried out their diabolicai plot but
for one small, seyen-year-old youngster,
who was afraid bis mother would suffer too
much. The captain, TO satisfy him, agreed
to apply the poison on the servapt-girl first,
and, II she died easily, then the mother
must follow. The sorvantgirl happened
10 overbear the agreement and informed
the boys parents. The result was that
each particular member Of the gang was in
teryiewed with strap in the wood-shed.

GENERAL HIRES PLAN.
lie Proposes a Railroad Direct TO Europe by
Way of Alaska and China.


Way OF Alaska and China.
A Washington special says: Washington
is the very paradise OF visionary people,
but no scheme however visionary that has
been proposed here quite equals the plan
Of General George u. Ihrie, formerly Of
the army. but who is now a mining en-
gineer in Boston He is here irving
to get up company for the connae-
ton Of the Northern Pacific railroad
with Alaska. He says that the mining
regions and the fur trade of the section
to be opened up by this proposed line will
fully warrant its construction. He also
believes that a system OF snow-sheds can
be devised by which the tracks can be pro-
tected from the heavy snowfalls OF the Sc
we're winter. But General lhrie would moi
have his line stop at Alaska. He says that
the Russians are already beginning to cross
Siberia with railroads. II is only cues
ton OF time when ST. Petersburg will be
connected by rail with the coast ut Beh-
rings Strait. China will in time have a
railroad line along the eastern coast line.
General Ihrie would have huge ferry
boats connect at the narroxest point
OF Behring's Strait with the two
railroad lines when the water was
open. Huge sleds could be used in the
winter When all this is brought about
passengers can take Pullman through car
for Europe for at least six months In the
year. General Ihrie believes the European
traffic would be very heavy. Many people
do not go to Europe because OF their fear
OF the dangers OF the sea. The greater
time required for an all-rail Journey to
Europe would be compensated by the va
riety OF country seen aud the greater safety
insured. All rail to China would be DOS
sibie under this system. General Ihrie be-
lieves that this railway project is one of
the certain things to occur in the next
twenty-five years. at any rate.
