PHn.ADE1PHA, May 40. City Treasurer
John Bardsley, whose methods Of de-
posting funds belonging to the city in
the various banks of the city is being In
vestigated, has rendered his resignation
to take effect May 80. No reason is given
for the retirement. Mr.. Bardsley was
elected in November, 1888. and his term
would have expired at the end of the
present year.
Later Mr. Bardsley said that he was q
ruined man, having lost all he had in
the world. He had been the cause of the
loss to the city of hundreds of thousands
of dollars, and the only thing possible
for him was to step down and out.
The examination into the affairs of the
Keystone Bank was resumed In the
United States Commissioners Office. Ex-
Cashier Lawrence was there and answer
ed to his name but President Marsh did
not answer. Then it was found that
Marsh had flown. He left his home at
Ridley Park in the morning. When called
he was probably several hundreds of
miles away. 1-s..r r.
His bail was declared forfeited and the
examination went on. It was developed
at the inquiry that the missing pages of
the ledger of the bank, the pages which
had been torn out bodily, contained the
account Of John Bardsley, the city treas
urer. 1t was also learned that these
pages were torn out about the time of the
visit Of the bank examiner.
The great, sensation of the day in the
matter of the Philadelphia bank troubles
is the statement made by City Treasurer

'I think will have black and gold

Then you need yellow flowers" pro-
nounces the sa1esgirl with quiet author
ity, and she produces bunch of butter
cups quite as if she had said the last
possible word. The woman doesn't
care for buttercups, but nothing else is
offered her and while she bends in q
dazed way over the glass of the show
cases the salesgirl stands not too pa
tiently waiting. The salesgirl Is In a
hurry to get rid of her customer. Long
experience of life among triers on of
untrimmed millinery has taken off the
freshness of her zest of life and made
her cynical.
In the end the woman has an inspira-
ton. She won't wear her REFER jacket
always, and sblaclx and white will go
better with the majority of her dresses
than black and gold. "Will you show
me-" she asks it timidly, ''those heads
of clover?'' The salesgirl gets out the
white clover blossoms and they cost Just
the price of the hat, $1.49. Then the
salesgirl says: "Shall give you an esti-
mate?'
And the woman replies more meek1y
than ever: "1f you please"
The salesgirl pronounces: "You will
want black velvet ribbon and a little
velvet under the brim. It will come to;
let me see"-here rapid calculation,
$3.50, madam"
The woman opens her poclSetbool,
receives a certificate of deposit and goes
home. She Is not at all sure the hat
will prove becoming, but she is glad she
found q jacket that didn't have stand
up collar. As she walks away from the
salesgirl, she asks: '.Will you send it to-
morrow" The action of this story takes
place of course on Friday.
And the salesgirl responds as IL It
made no possible difference: ''No, mad
am, on Monday"
The woman who doesn't pay above
seven dollars and a half for her hat and
who doesn't know at all what she wants
Is very important factor In society,

Smart Seaside Costume.
loopvRraHr, 1891


It is hard to spend half an hour in an
occupation Of greater interest than
watching women buy hats. am not
thinking OF women who buy their hats
trimmed. But yesterday 1 loitered
about In an establishment where long
tables were heaped with weird looking
untrimmed shapes, and where the
broad aisles between the tables were
filled with jostling figures trying on.
There were rows of mirrors over the
tables next the wall and standing mir
rors were scattered as thiclxly as was
comfortable. and the pictures that these
long-suffering glasses reflected were
things to see and take warning from.
The hat of the spring is such an mn
canny thing when it hasn't its clothes
on. At it's best and ON the best heads

ing. With It's fiat crown and its point
that runs out over the eyes and It's
three to five points that stand up like
wings behind, its effect in profile on the
woman whose face has stood some wear
and tear and whose hair is not exactly
pretty is rather discouraging. A good
many women seem to have some con.
ception of this melancholy fact, for no
where does the average individual look
more tired or seem to feel life more of
a burden than when she is gazing dis
contentedly at herself under the shadow
of one Of those queer things in black
crinoline with double crown.
Yet the chances are she buys it; be.
cause she can find nothing that suits
her better and because 1t Is fashionable.
And when she has bought 1t, the sales
girl asks: "Will You have 1t trimmed
here2''
And because she cannot trim It her
self and because she is tired, the aver
age woman answers meekly, quite as II
responding in the marriage service, and,
indeed, she is taking the hat for better
or for worse: SET will"
And then the salesgirl leads her to the
flower counter and asks her what she
will have. And because she has Just

WHEREVER an enterprise OF any mag
nitude is formed in this country, unless
the projectors and capitalists are at
once named, the conclusion is reached
or the announcement made that an Eng
lish syndicate is at the bottom. This
has occurred hundreds of times, with
out being verified in one instance in 81
hundred. These English syndicates are,
as a general thing, myths. If an enter
prise of promising character is pro-
jected there can always be found Ameri-
can men and American capital to push
it. An exchange thinks that English
business has about reached the limits of
it's tether.
