TT WAS 4 MISTAKE.
The Treasury Department Explains the
 Conscience Contribution.

The Treasury Department Explains the
 Conscience Contribution.
 WASHINGTON, Oct. 11.-Secretarv Windom has been criticized unde- servedly in New York State for making public an anonymous communication accompanying conscience contribution received at the Treasury Department in which the writer insinuated that an earlier contribution of $5,O00 sent to the Department while the late MT. Manning was Secretary had been appro- prlated by the ex-Secretary to his own use.
 : The fact is that when this letter was made public by Assistant Secretary fatcheller tsw days ago he prepared a statement to accompany it to tho effect that the Department records showed that s4, 995 had been received and cov- cred into the treasury on the date re- ferred to by the conscious-stricken con- tributor. By mistake this statement became temporarily separated from the anonymous letter, and consequently was omitted from the account to some news papers. Neither Secretary Windom nor Assistant Secretary Batcheller are at all responsible for the omission, and re- gret 1t as much as MT. Manning's most intimate friends do.

LIQUOR DEALERS IN JAIL.
When Released They Will Find Themselves
 Without a Livelihood.

READING, Pa,, Oct. 1.-The nina liquor dealers imprisoned here for 30 days, charged with violating the Sunday law, have suffered severely Being convicted of their first offense of selling on Sunday, they had their $500 licenses revoked for one year, they were made to pay fine of $50 and costs of s4OO each, and sentenced to jail for 30 days, so that when they are released they will find themselves deeply in debt and without source of livelihood. They cannot obtain new license until next year. Meanwhile their wives have changed the saloons into candy shops or places only where temperance drinks are sold. A few have closed up entirely,
 Recently these wives came together and agreed upon plan to furnish their imprisoned husbands extra food, so that they would not be dependent on prison fare. The wives resolved to furnish the1r husbands one substantial meal a day, that is, dinner. leaving the prison authorities to furnish supper and break fast The wives took the duty turn aoout. One wife cooks and prepares enough for one dinner for the nine men, and she sees that the food is safely taken to the jail. The next day an other wife prepares the dinner, and so on until all have served meal when they begin anew. or course each wife does her best, and so in this way the prison CTS are we'll cared for, the jail authori- ties allowing all food to be received. With boiled dinner the prisoners gen orally got bottled lager and cigars. Their cells are not locked, and they have the free use of the jail corridors for exercise.
 The court authorities have twenty hye more liquor men to try, many of whom are leading suburban hotel keep CTS, and it is believed that nothing can save them from going to jail also, as the evidence at hand is clear against them. When there is a second conyic- ton of the same person, the license is not only revoked, but the accused is not allowed to sell liquor in Pennsylvania at any time or place ever afterward.

 NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-The Worlds Fair Guaranty Fund got an actual start yes terday for the first time by the action of the General Committee in receiving the report of the Finance Committee, and authorizing that body to receive sub- scriptions. and by the almost instanta- neouS appearance of subscriptions for $2S1, ,Oo0 on the spot.
 It was sight long to be remembered when a tall, slender gentleman ill the rear of the Aldermanic chamber arose and remarked in a modest tone that the hrm he represented would give S10O, 900 to the Exposition. Suddenly all eyes were upon him, every ear was bent to catch his every word, and he was greeted With thunders of applause. The speaker was John Claain, of the firm of II. E. Clahin x Co. He was the hero of the occasion. By him was started a furore for money raising which was only checked by the appeal for more deliber- ate action.
 This incident served its purpose, how ever, and all present became imbued With renewed interest and enthusiasm with respect to the Exposition, and at the close of the meeting the members of the General Committee separated with the deter1ninat tion that from now on there should be solid work done to capture the Fair for New York
 The meeting was marked by the ut most harmony and was largely at- tended by tho foremost citizens of the city, and there was more done in the direction of securing the Fair for New York yesterday than in all the weeks that have elapsed since the inception of the enterprise.
