ESCORTS IN LONDON.
Soldiers Hired to Accompany the Working
Girls in Their Walks.


Several slteptics have written to us
doubling a statement made recently in
this department to the effect that Eng
hsh soldiers were hired as escorts for
Sunday outings by housemaids and 9TH
er English women of their class The
following extract from THE Town
Dweller," book by DR.. j.. NJ. Fother-
gill, well known London physician,
recently dead, repeats the statement
with what Pooh Bah calls "corrobora-
tive detail: For shop-girl and do
mestic servant their great delight is to
have soldier to walk them out on Sun
day. They pay all the expenses of the
days outing, and beyond that stipulated
payment to boot. This varies with the
gorgeousness of his uniform. The
plainly-attired driver in the artillery al

man in his scarlet coat and tall bear,
skin commands retaining fee Of five
shillings; and if in addition he be a very
handsome fellow he can put on little
extra without fear of spelling his bar
gain. Whenever a civilian lover il
afraid to speak out, the soldier is called
on to the scene, when jealousy soor
drives him to speak out as rule, while
at other times the device fails altogeth

A Fine Reform Showing.

Everybody, of course, feels deep inter
ess, politically and otherwise, in the
finances of South Carolina under the I'LL
man administration, and the result Of the
fiscal year under the new regime.
Although Treasurer Bates has not made
public the figures Of his report, an abstract
has been given the comptroller general for
incorporation in his report.
Yesterday upon application, Chief Clerk
Norton furnished some Of them to repre-
sentative Of The State.
The sheet shows that the fiscal year
closed with cash balance IN the treasury
of SA, ,6l5.02. There are warrants against
this amounting to Sl4, ,250.S3, leaving a net
cash balance Of $50, ,369.1o on hand. Not a
cent had been borrowed.
Mr.. Norton says the cash in the treasury
at the close OF last year was sI7,943.93.
Warrants were drawn against this amount
ing to 81, ,S02 50, leaving a net cash balance
of s36, ,141.I1, against which there was q
borrowed amount of $50, 900, with interest,
maturing Dec. l. amounting to $500 more.
In addition there was an orerdraw ID bank
amounting to 22,S00, making S13,3OO IN
all, which left debt for the present Ad-
minlstration of S37, 1889, which has been
paid. This makes difference, Mr.. Norton
Says, of SS7, ,523. .0S at the close Of the year
in the condition of the State Treasury
in favor of the present ADMINISTRATOR

began poking in the sand with his cane.
OF course a bystander saw him and
asked what he was about
"Pm looking for a five dollar gold
piece, was the answer.
The questioner was interested, and,
procuring long stick, fell TO digging
also. A second man did Likewise, and
others followed suit, till at least 40 in
dividuals joined in the search Um-
brellas, canes, and boot toes were
brought into requisition, and stirred up
the dust to such an extent that the
air resounded with a chorus Of sneezes,
while the policeman nearly went dis
tracted in his fruitless endeavors to dis
perse the crowd. Finally someone re-
membered to ask the quiet young fellow
how he happened to lose the coin.
%Oh, I didn't lose any," he replied
calmly. Il just thought 1 might find
one if | kept on looking, that's all"
Then each separate member of that
party of volunteer searohers went
silently away, and the quiet young
fellow sat down and smiled till he was
red in the face.
