WOMEN AND FINANCES.
The Efficacy of the Sex as Money
Handlers.

Albany Journal.
Although hundreds of women hold pO-
sitions of financial trust in the country,
we have yet to hear of one Of them being
guilty of embezzlement Or defalcation.
The evidence clearly sustains the position
Of those who believe that women are
qualified, morally, physically and intel
lectually, for the handling Of money in
stores or in banks. Gen. Spinner, who
first introduced women into the Z. S.
Treasury, left on record q striking testi-
mOnial to the efficiency and integrity Of
the sex, and no one ever had a better Op-
portunity to study the'question than he,
who at one time had I 900 women under
his direction, engaged chiefly in handling
money. He testifes that they count
more accurately and rapidly than men;
that their ability to detect counterfeits
proved to be superior in almost every
test; that they were, without an excep-
ton, honest, and were invariably more
careful and painstaking in their work.
Complaints of inaccuracy and careless
ness on the part Of men We're made fre
quently during Gen. Spinner's admins
tration of the United States Treasury, but
such complaints against lady clerks We're
CIV. The shrewdest and quickest detec-
tors of counterfeit currency were women
and in case of dispute as to the genuine
ness of money Gen. Spinner invariably
took the judgment Of Miss Grandin, who
was for long time employed in his bu-
reau. In speaking of her ability in this
particular, one day Gen. Spinner said; IF
l were a believer in clairvoyance [ should
say that she possessed that power; but l
am not, so I call it instinct" Although
there are several thousand women en-
ployed by the government as clerks, ac-
countants, postmistresses and in other
capacities not one has ever proved un-
faithful to her trust. Many have been
discharged for incapacity and other rea-
sons. but never for dishonesty.

theatrical goods of this or any other

''What class of show people wear out
the most tights" the reporter asked
''Circus riders. It's the rosin on the
horses back that does it. Then there's
the perspiratiOn, which makes it necessa-
~ to have tights washed every time they

wear out one or two pairs of tights in a
week when he is giving two performan-
ces day, and if the season lasts about
thirty weeks you can Judge for yourself
Of the havoc a man or woman will make
with tights"

wearer has mind to pay. They cost all

pie is about Sc. These are plain woven

great variety in colors and styles, and
greater variety in fits. First comes the

The democracy, in electing Mr.. Car

that they would use their utmost endeav-
or to lower the protective duties. Amy
swerving now from this high policy, de
manded by the people for the people,
will bring down upon the Democrats the

no time for dickering. The protectionist
party will remain in power unless the

civil rights bill, and overheard Mr. Bur-
CESS, republican, of the same place, stat
ing that the democrats were not sincere
in their action in the matter. Mr. Armi-

question his sincerity he was a liar,
whereupon Mr.. Burgess slapped his face
and threatened to do it again if the Of
Tense was repeated. Mr.. Armitage re
peated the insult and received another
stinging bblow. BY this time the house
was in an uproar, the members crowding
around the disputants. Mr.. Armitage, a
slight and weak man, made no attempt
to return the blow. Mr.. Burgess apollo
gized to the house but decline to apollo
gizo to Mr.. Armitage, saying they could
settle the matter on the outside. His
apology was accepted.

The new civil service statute of Mas
sachusetts, just enacted by the legisla-
ture, regulates the minutest details of
appointment, promotion and conduct
in the service of the state and in all city
governments, and applies to clerkships,
police appointments, and all appointive
positions. One of it's provisions is as
follows: mo person habitually using
intoxicating beverage to excess shall be
appointed to or retained in any Office,
appointment or employment to which
the provision of this act are applicable;
nor shall any vcnder Of Intoxicating
liquor be appointed or retained" Sec
ton five provides that no recon.
mendation of an applicant for Office
from any member Of the legislature, al
derman or councilman, except as to
character and residence, shall be re-
ceived or considered. No councillor,
member Of the legislature, alderman or
councilman, or any officer or employe
of said bodies, and no executive or iu-
dicial officer, and no clerk and emplove
of any sort, shall solicit or receive, or
be in any way concerned in, any politi-
col assessment or contribution for anv
purpose whatever. These provisions
are pretty strict and far in advance OF
any other civil service rules of the coun-
try.
