REVELATIONS OF ROBBERY.

Pennsylvania Defrauded of Over One Mill
lion Dollars by Heartless Officials.
PHILADELPHIA, March 2O-Recent
revelations at Mercer, Pa, disclose tho
fact that the state of Pennsylvania has
been robbed of more than 81 ZOO, 900 in
Encouragement of the soldiers or
phans' school. The illegal profits of
one of the ten big schools amounted to
S21O, 900, and this school was one of the
three that were controlled by syndi-
cate headed by ex-State Senator George
w. Wright, of Mercer, Pa
The fortunes accumulated by eight
men through pinching the orphans and
fleeing the state are alleged to bo
roundly as follows: George W. Wright,
$500, 900: John |. Gordon, S2S5, 200; 5. r.
Thompson, S65, 900: X. o. Wright, $751;
900: James l.. Paul. $4,000; Mayor
Moore CWhitehalD ,Sl25. 200: Prof. Sweet,
$4,000, and Rev. a. n. Water Union
town., $4,000; total 81, O95,OOO.
Considerable part of this sum may be
recovered as the persons here named
have retained $3.50. 900 of their profits.
The statute of limitation does not work
against the commonwealth.
The alleged gains appropriated by
these men We're acquired in direct vio-
lation of the law without contract of
any kind. The method to he employed
is very simple and has been repeatedly
done at Harrisburg. The auditor-gen-
eral reopens the accounts and makes
new settlements. Then the common
wealth proceeds in the courts to obtain
the moneys that have been illegally
taken from it for traffic in orphan

GARRETT DEAD.
Unexpected Death Of the Noted Tragedies
Only Ill Three Days.

Unexpected Death Of the Noted Tragsdiaa
Only Ill Three Days.
New YORK, March 81. Lawrence
Barrett, the tragedian, died last evening
at 1O:45 o'clock at the Windsor hotel
The demise was due to heart failure.
The famous actor was unconscious
but short time before he died. His
wife and DIR. Chambers, Of this city,
were with him when he breathed his
last.
Mr. Barrett's last sickness dated from
Wednesday night when he was obliged
to leave the theater where he was en-
gagged. 1t was said at that time that he
was merely suffering from a severe cold
and would be out in few days, and the
same report was made Thursday. Even
yesterday the reports from the sick
chamber were very favorable.
Last evening DR.. Chambers called at
the Windsor hotel at o'clock to see
his patient and shortly thereafter an
nounced that he would remain all night
in the sick room. Heart failure. the
physician declared, was the cause of
death.
Mr.. Barrett, has two daughters, now
in Europe, one being the wife Of Mary
AndcrsOn's brother.
At the time of his partners and
friends death Edwin Booth was at the
Players club in bed asleep. He did not
receive the notice of his death until
midnight and was very deeply affected
at the news of the demise.
Lawrence Barrett was born in Pater-
son, n. j.. April 4, 1888. His first ap-
pearance on the stage was in Detroit
in 1858. The distinction that he has
won as a tragedian is we'll known to
the public, and his death will be uni
versally regretted.

A GOLD NECKLACE.
It Was Solid. But 1t Came Near Breakln
Up m Engagement.

Il Was Solid. hut 1t Came Near Breaking
Up m Engagement.
A young man entered a jewelry store
on Pennsylvania avenue, and in very
excited manner demanded to see the
proprietor. His countenance indicated
q storm, and it was not slow in making
its appearance.
II thought you sold me this necklace
for solid gold. It's nothing of the kind.
It's a fraud, a perfect fraud" stormed
the young man. II paid you suffi.
GENTLY large price to have it OF solid
gold of the purest grade, but it is moth
ing but brass, and if you don't refund
my money there will be trouble"
young man, just calm yourself"
said the jeweler, land if you can prove
that the necklace is not 1S-karat gold,
will gladly give you double the price.
Now, tell me, what is the trouble?"
at is simply this. gave that neck
lace to my fance, and it has resulted in
nearly breaking off the engagement.
The first time she wore it the miserable
thing blackened her neck before it had
been on two hours. The young lady
was attending cotillion at the time,
and she is fearfully mortified over it,
for she declares that every girl in the
room must have noticed the black
marks made on her throat by my latest
present. She naturally concluded that
l, like my gift, was fraud The only
way I could make peace was to show
her by the amount of your bill that l
had paid sufficient to insure it being
solid gold"
THAT is what thought" replied the
ieweler. "The fault is not with the
necklace, but with the young lady her
self. You will find that during the
course of her life she has taken a great
deal of strong medicine containing GER
tain minerals, the effects of which re-
main in the system for years Such a
person cannot wear gold next to the
skin, for the minerals in the system will
find their way through the pores of the
skin with the perspiration, and even in
this minute quantity, will attack and
tarnish gold of the purest karat. This
tarnish; of course, comes off, and soon
there will be a sufficient quantity to
leave dark-colored mark on the skin
of the fairest woman if she is so unfor-
tunate as to have much Of these metallic
medicines in her system"
The dealer then convinced the Gus
toner that the necklace was pure gold,
as represented, but refunded his money
as he said it would be useless for the
young lady to attempt to wear the ornaa
ment without having a repetition of her
former experience.
To reporter the jeweler explained
that such cases were quite frequent, but
not so much as formerly, because physi'
clans are in a great measure discontinue
ing in their practice the use of calomel
and other like drugs in which chloride
of mercury enters as factor. This
mineral, he said, acts more powerfully
than all others in its attacks upon gold.
Its affinity for the latter metal IS what
results in the skin being blackened
when gold is worn next the person.
Silver is also acted upon in the same

FOOLISH POSTMEN.
UnEFateful Returns For Public Ll0eraHsy
Which They May Regret.

UngFateful Returns For Public Ll0efanty
Which They May Regret.
WASHINGTON, March s0.-Postmaster.
General Wanamaker is convinced from
the evidence that he has CLEANED thsS
the carrier service of the principal cities
needs thorough overhauling. He pro-
poses to conduct the reform directly
from the post office department. and. so
far as can be, by methods independent
of the local post Office officials. He
says:
THE free delivery service is peculiar.
Ten thousand men are employed in this
branch of the postal service. Each man
goes his rounds alone. with no one but
himself to know with what honesty and
integrity of purpose, with what assidu-
ity and faithfulness he performs his re-
sponsible duties In June, 1884, congress
granted letter carriers fifteen days leave
Of absence annually, with pay. This
costs the government per year $40, 600.
In May. 1sSS, congress reduced the hours
of service of the letter carriers to tho
minimum, eight hours per day. This
has cost the government $1,000 900 an
nually. The eight-hour enactment also
provided that service in excess of eight
hours per day for letter carriers should
receive additional pay pro rata
This clause providing pay for over
time is such temptation to hardness
and lettering, all at the expense Of
prompt and efficient service. that many
carriers have not been able to with
stand it. 1t is q serious matter. Tho
sum of IS, 4l6, 900 is paid annually in SAL
aries to letter carriers, and in addition
the government expends S1lS,OOO in
street car tickets and S,,22 600 for horse
hire and wagons This is not alone
to expedite the carrier service and
improve its reliability, it IS also to al
leviate the burdens of the carriers If,
under all these circumstances, the let
ter-carriers are found betraying tho
confidence that we put in them by visit
ing saloons, pilfering car tickets. skip
ping boxes and lettering, and if. BE-
sides, they almost invariably charge the
government for this time. which is
worse than wasted, there is only one
thing to do. The offense IS not miti-
gated by the fact that the aggregate of
overtime is inconsiderable. Nothing
but the SeycreSt measures Suit the case"

Homeseekers Excited.

ARKANSAS CITY, Kan, March 90
When the fact became known here that
the Usage, Ponca, Pawnee and Otoe
reservations were to be leased to the cat
tlemen. the homeseekers and everybody
else became very much excited. The
turning of cattle into these reservations
is held to mean that the cattlemen are
to again obtain possession of the entire
Cherokee strip, for these reservations
extend into the strip and there is moth
ing to prevent the cattle from wander
ing off over the entire G.OOo, 900 acres.
Ponca is the key to the whole strip and
if the cattlemen can secure a lease OF
this reservation it is believed that it
will give them the entire outlet for a
pasture field.
