Where is the State Money ?

The criminal looseness Of the whole
system of State taxation upon business,
as administered in Philadelphia, is for
cibly illustrated in the fact to which
THE Times has called attention, that
of all the merchantile taxes collected
in the city for 1890, including retailers
licenses, and brokers', auctioneers'
peddlers', billiard and theatre licenses,
not one dollar appears to have been
paid into the State Treasury up to the
close of The fiscal year.
1t has become the practice of the
City Treasurer to keep this money,
most of which is collected yearly, un-
til the very end of the year, and ii
would appear from his testimony be
fore a committee of the Councils that
the present City Treasurer made nc
very clear distinction in his banking
business between this money and his
own, At the close of the last year
which conceded with the troubles OF
the Keystone Bank, he could not OIL
did uot pay what was due the State,
and in the report of the Auditor Gen
eral the receipts from these taxes ir
Philadelphia are unaccounted for
The only payment was small balance
of about $4,000, when there ought to
have been S1So,ooo.
These facts make a loud call upor
the Vuditor General to take hand ir
the present inquiry and find out, if he
can, what has become of the State:
money. 1t would also become thai
officir to overhaul this whole business
and devise some plan by which the
State taxes collected in the countie:
shall be paid over to the State Treas
ury at once, instead of remaining in
definitely in the possession Of specula
| tive officials. Times.

Care of The Hair.

The hair, like every other portion of
the human frame, if uncared for will
90 to waste and eventually drop out.
This is due to splitting of the ends
of the hair, SO that the interior oil duct
which nourishes the hair is exposed,
and the natural nourishment of the
hair runs to waste, overhows upon the
head, forming dandruff, which impede
the growth of the hair just as much as
tares among wheat. The best means
to prevent this is a Strengthening OF
the hair, and this can easily be accom-
plished by frequent cutting and the
use of salt water and vaseline.
Have you ever noticed what bushy
hair seafaring men have3 1t is be-
cause their hair is in constant contact
with the invigorating salt air, and is
often wet with salt walter. A good
tonic of salt water should contain a
teaspoonful of salt to a tumbler OF wa
ter, and should be applied to the hair
two or three times week. The ef-
feet at the end of month will be sur
characterization Spectator.

years who has left the inkstand behind
him when he laid down the cares of
the office. The one which he selected
and which still remains upon the table
of President Ingalls, is a massive affair,
consisting of two large, square ink
wells resting upon a silver tray about
a foot square. The tops of the wells
are of heavy solid silver, and at each
end of the tray is a tall silver candle
stick. No ink is ever put into the wells
and only once were candles placed in
the sticks. On this occasion they
melted, and the wax ran all over the
beautiful silver tray. This was a shock
to the dignity of the room, and the use
fulness of the inkstand as a candlestick
will never be tested again. When Vice
President Hendricks died his widow
was allowed the privilege of selecting
as souvenirs such articles as she desired
which had been in use in the Vice
Presidents room. She chose the ink
stand, the brass tenders and %andirOns,
and the glass fire screen. These me-

THE WIFE OF THE GREAT SHOW
MAN.

In appearance she is a trife under
medium height, with a figure slightly
inclined to matrOnly stOutneSS, which
she carries with an erectnesS and pOise
gained from long years of physical cul-
ture. Her complexion is English in it's
purity and beauty, her hair dark and
her eyes gray. She possesses also that
excellent thing in woman" q voice
purely English in t ssweetness and tone.
Mrs. Barnum's pet hobby--at least,
so says her husband, laughingly indul-
gent is her interchangeable pursuit Of10 brio
a-brac, and most beautiful examples of
her success in this pursuit, with the
numerous mementOeS of it's masters
varied career, make of Marina" a
home worth the having. 1t is the fam
lily home during most of the year,
though a part of each winter is spent
in New York for the purpose of attend
ing the opera and the theatres, of
which both husband and wife are
equally fond, and occasional visits are
paid elsewhere.
Mrs. Barnum possesses to an unusual
degree a liking for society and enter
tanning which makes of her the most
delightful of hOsteSSeS. Her dinners
are models, the easy grace and cordial
hospitality of their hostess adding much
to their enjoyment. Herself a brilliant
cOnversatiOnalist, she attracts, in turn,
people of unusual intellect and bril-
iancy, and her most hOnOred guests
are apt to be either literary or musical
people as these she finds more specially
c%ongeniaL. For Mrs. Barnum, though
modestly confessing only to a great
liking for music, is a musician of some
skill, and though no persuasion has as
yet induced her to write over her own
name, she is an able and fluent writer.
She proves amost valuable and efficient

charities, such assistance as she renders

CONCERNING THE VICE-PRESI-
DENT.

There have been an unusually great
number of sightseerS at the Capitol
during the past week. Country visi-
tors to town, and numerous blushing
brides and grOOms have tramped about
the corridors. The most popular
room with visitors in the whole CAPT
toI building is what is known as the
Vice-Presidents room. 1t is in the
Senate wing at the east end of the
private lobby running along the north
side of the Senate chamber. The
room is now the private office of Presi-
dent pro tempOre Ingalls,. At the
ether end of the lobby is situated the
Presidents ROOM. The two are in
striking contrast. The latter is fur
nished in bright red, and the room of
the Vice-President in dark green. The
Presidents room serves no purpose
whatever, except to give sight-seers a
chance to look at something gorgeous.
1t glitters with gilt and glass and
bright carpets and %frescOing, but as
it is not in use it has no fire in the CRATE,
and it's general appearance is cold and
uninviting. President Ingalls, room,
however, is as pretty and attractive as
a lady's parlOr. 1t is occupied now by
the Senator's son, who is his private
secretary. A big coal fire blazes up in
the brightly FURNISHED hearth, and
there is an air of warmth and luxury
about the entire room. On the wall
hangs an original oil painting of George
Washington, and through the doorway
of a small adjoining room can becaught
a glimpse of a small gilt framed look
ing-glass, which was purchased by
John Adams. He paid SIS for it, and
some of his contemporaries were in
clined to criticise him for his extrava-
gance.
The perquisites Of vice-president, in
addition to a few crumbs of patronage,
are the inkstand, tenders, and andirOns.
1t is a custom of a great many years
standing for the Vice-President, when
he goes out of office, to take these ar
ticles with him. The Vice-Presidential
inkstand is a thing of beauty, and is
never put into actual use. At the be-
ginning of a gentleman's term as Vice
President or President of the Senate,
the sergeant-at-arms receives from a
New York silversmith a selection of
the finest large silver inkstands that
can be produced. From these the new
official makes a selection. It remains
with him while he occupies the room,
and goes with him when he leaves.
Some of these inkstands have been
beautiful works of art and are retained
by their owners as the finest souvenirs
of their official existence.
