GOING AWAY NOT CURED.
Some of Father MoIlinger's Patients Who
Have Not Improved.

Last evening a number of Father Mollin-
gers patients left for their homes, some of
them being in dissatisfied frame of mind.
In none of the cases was any Improvement
noted, but the victims were still hopeful,
and reasoned that the medicine hadn't had
time to get in its work.
An old Irishman sat doubled uD in the
invalid's chair in the depot complacently
smoking a cigar. He was from Philadel-
mia with German who had heart disease,
and a young man. troubled with ST. Vitus
dance. The Irishman said he had as many
twinges now as he had before he visited
Troy Hill The German with the heart dis
ease remarked that he could see no differ
ence in his case. An aged cripple leading a
blind man also left for Cincinnati. They
stated that they had not expected to be
cured, and so were not disappointed. So
far as could be learned no new patients came
in last evening.

realize nearly $4,000 900 year, of which
less than S5O0,00O will be paid into the State
treasury. The Commonwealth revenues
from this same source of taxation are now
about 81 900, 900. The change in the amount
and the distribution of this tax would In.
crease Philadelphia's share of this class OF
revenue from about $3.50, 900 to nearly S7o0T
600. About S15O,O0O would be added 20
Allegheny county's receipts from the same
source, and only S4oO, 900, in addition to the
amount now received, would go to the other
counties.
The Auditor Generals revelations show
conclusively that if the s., 900, 900 appropria,
tion to the public schools is to be continued
the next Legislature will be obliged to pass
Boyer act, which but for the 81, SOC, 900 in
the general fund of the Treasury, would TINS
year require the veto of appropriations
amounting to over 1900, 900.

The Fourteenth VIII Help to Unvei1 the
Hartranft Monument.
The Fourteenth Regiment left for Norris
town last evening in special train to take
part to-day in the unveiling of the monu-
ment to General Hartranft at Norristown.
Colonel Parchment was greatly pleased
with the turnout. There were eight regi-
ments in all, five of them averaging 55 men
and the other three had 60, making total
of 455 men. They occupied nine immigrant
cars and Pullman sleeper was provided
for the officers.
An amusing incident occurred at the
depot. A big barrel of beer stood against
a pillar on the platform waiting to
be loaded In the excitement it was over
looked and the train was pulling out at a
lively rate, when some of the thoughtful
remembered the forgotten barrel. The ex-
press was stopped and a squad of stalwart
men bore the treasure to the train. In adj
dition Colenels Guthrie, Connolly, McTlib-
ben, Gray and Hudson, Major Greenland,
Captain Murdock and General Wylie went
on the regular trains to Norristown.

LOADED FOR APES.
A Dog That Is Not Afraid of Anything in
the Monkey Line.

the Monkey Line.
A stuffed ape and a dog caused some little
excitement, leavened with more amusement,
on Wood street yesterday afternoon. A
merchant on that thoroughfare possesses a
stuffed ape as part of his advertising para
phenalia, and from its long continued pos
Ing on the top of high show case had
finally become dusty. To remove this accJ-
mutation the animal was taken out to the
sidewalk and set on horse block on the
curbstone for dusting. just at that time
along came newsboy with sleek looking
deerhound at his heels. The dog caught
sight of the ape and at once set up vigor-
Gus barking.
The ape stood bis ground and could not be
scared off his pedestal. The club on which
the ape was gracefully posing seemed a
menace to the dog, and he danced around
from street to sidewalk at the hveliest kind
of rate. The man in charge of the dust
brush beat hasty retreat into the store, and
let the dog and the ape fight it out A po-
liceman came to the rescue, and after some
lodging on the part of the dog, and clubbing
on the part of the officer, the ape was res
cued and carried off the field of battle.

THE STATES REVENUE
For the Next Two Years Set Forth by
the Auditor General.
AN ADDITION OF BUT s1,1OO,OOO
Would Be Made to the Annual Receipts by
the Boyer Bill.
PLANS FOR MAKING BOTH ENDS MEET
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH J

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCHl
HARRISBURG, June 5.-In view OF the
statements SO frequently and persistently
made when it had been determined to side
track the Granger tax bill, that its substl-
tute, the Boyer revenue measure, would
largely compensate the friends of the equal
ization of tax scheme for its loss, the an
nouncement of Auditor General McCamant
that only S1,10O,00O will be added to the
revenues annually by the application of the
new taxing act will doubtless be received
with great disappointment by all taxpayers.
The men who figured prominently in the
plot to get rid of the bill prepared by the
Revenue Commission, and indorsed by all
the Oranges of Pennsylvania, claimed that
the substitute for it would increase the re-
ceipts of the State about $4,000. 900 year,
just enough to enable an annual approprla-
tion of s., 900, 900 for the public schools.
This tempting bait worked like charm.
Many of the supporters of the Granger
scheme abandoned the fight for their bill
and turned in to help pass the Boyer bill,
among whom was the champion of the sup
planted measure, Representative Taggart,
of Montgomery.
Feel Like Kicking Themselves.
All these will feel like kicking themselves
for not demanding higher tax on the cap
ital stock of corporations, after the misfor-
tune which happened their bill in the Sen
ate Finance Committee. Governor Pattison
has always been opposed to spending more
money than the public revenues justify, and
he will not allow it this year. In order that
he might obtain reasonably accurate in
formation of the probable receipts the next
two years, he addressed a letter to the
Auditor General, and in reply to this COM
munication the Governor to-day received
the following statement:
Hon. Robert E. Pattson, Governor:
DEAR SIR-In compliance with your request
for an estimate of the revenues of the Com
monwealth for two years beginning June !,
1891, and ending May 81, 1893 1 have to say

becomes law, will not take effect during
the present year, and give you an estimate
for the first year of the revenues under the
laws as they are in existence at the present
time. The followingsis the estimate 1 make
for the year commencing June !, 1891, and

AN OPERATORS ERROR.
A Mistake in Reading One Little Word
Nearly Kills w. b. Hays, Jr.

The friends of William B. Hays, Jr., of
Liberty street, were very much concerned
yesterday by an erroneous report regarding
his health, which was due to an error on the
part of a telegraph operator. Mr.. Hays
went to Mt Clemens, Mich, some time ago
in search of relief from an attack of infam-
matory rheumatism. In reply to an inquiry
from relative in the city regarding when
he would return home, telegram was re-
ceived yesterday to the effect that Mr.. Hays
''wouldn't live for "a hours
Very naturally his friends here were
alarmed, but were reassured on receipt of
another message saying he would leave for
home in "a hours. In the original message
the operator read Give" for leave" hence
the mistake. Mr.. Hays health is very much
improved by his trip, as his brother-in-law,
G. L. McCutcheon. has learned.

MACDONALD PERHAPS NOW DEAD.

His Condition Worse Last Night, When He
Wasn't Expected to Live Till Daylight.
OTTAWA, June Sat midnight CORE
spondent arrived from Earnsclitfe and re-
ported that the usual consultation was over,
and the doctors had decided not to issue any
bulletins. DR.. Wright saidno bulletin would
be issued because the patients condition
was as bad as it could be. The Premier
took serious turn for the worse about two
hours ago, and for time life seemed to
have departed; but with a struggle the
dying statesman seemed to rally and par
took of some nourishment in the shape of
mouthful of champagne.
DIR. Wright attributed the change for the
worse to failure of both brain and heart,
and said it would be marvellous if the Pre-
mier passed the night.

WANTED TO DROWN.

Last Time

Maggie Kelly, of Limerick, Tries to COM
init Suicide by Jumping Into the River
Rescued When Going Down for the
Last Time.
Maggie Kelly, 17-years-old and living In
Limerick, Thirty-third ward, attempted
suicide by jumping from coal barge on the
Monongahela wharf, near the Point Bridge,
about $50 o'clock last evening.
The young girl came along Water street
from the direction of Market, about 6
o'clock, and joined group of children at
play on the wharf. She was well dressed
and carried watch, which she seemed to
take great pleasure in displaying to the ad-
miring little girls. After while she asked
to be shown the landing of the ferry boat
Venus, saying she desired to goto CHARTERS.
Little Ida Anderson and daughter OF
Councilman Matt Cavanaugh volunteered to
conduct the girl to a convenient place for
the boat to land, and escorted her to the
head of lot of coal barges lying above the
Point Bridge, directly in front of Mr.. Cava-
naugh's house. There was no boat in sight,
though, and the young lady became very
much excited, her manner frightening the
little girls so that they ran away.
The moment they left her Miss Kelly de-
iberately jumped from the barge into the
river. Some boys saw the act and called to
Jack Martin, who was at work on the boats,
and he ran to the barge just in time to catch
her as she was going down for the third
time. Martin caught the girl by the feet
and dragged her out, unconscious, but in a
moment she revived and began tomoan, say
ing:
''Oh, why did you pull me out? Throw
me in again, please, L want to die. They
treat me so bad.
She could not be induced to tell to whom
she referred as having i'll treated her, and
her actions were SO queer that those who
had gathered decided that she was demented
Soon after she had recovered consciousness a
couple of men rowed over in a skiff from the
Southside, having witnessed the girls jump,
and they recognized her as Maggie Kelly.
They took her back with them and returned
her to her home.

1t Is Finally Passed by the Commons After
Some Discussion.

LONDON, June 5.-The bill providing for
the issue of an order in council prohibiting
the taking of seals in Bering Sea by British
subjects, though a Government measure,
met with the opposition of Mr.. Alexander
Stavely Hill. He moved an amendment that
the words ''If Canada consents" be added
thereto. William Henry Smith, the Gov
eminent leader in the House, argued
against the amendment, basing his opposi-
tion to it on the fact that the Government
had already obtained the assent of Canada
to the bill In view of this statement
Mr.. Hill withdrew his amendment and the
bill was subsequently passed.
The Bering Sea bill passed the first read
ing in the House of Lords to-day.

FAITH IN THE WEST.
A Passengerman Says the Country Gives
Great Promise.

J. W. Scott, Assistant General Passenger
Agent of the Union Pacific road, was at the
Monongahela House yesterday. Mr.. Scott
is handsome, intelligent young man who
evidently knows his business. He is visit
ing the Eastern offices of the company, and
spent yesterday with Thomas S. Spear, the
local agent.
He says the West is only in its infancy,
and its future will be something wonderful,
Mr.. Scott thinks the States of Wyoming and
Montana are particularly very promising.
Outside of the agricultural resources Of the
West, which will be improved by irrigation,
the country is rich in minerals of various
kinds In Idaho the mines pay as much as
50 per cent with the ore hauled by teams
If this can be accomplished at present, it
was plain to be seen what the yield would
be if these mineral regions were reached by
rail.

FACTS ABOUT The PENITENTlARY MANAGE.
MEkT

The appropriation for the maintenance
of the penitentiary for the present fiscal
year, the 42d, amounts to $50, 900; the
chances are that the amount named will
be ample and that there may be sur
plus; under the Democratic administra-
ton of E. g. Ross as governor and T. P.
Gable as warden, the cost per year was
$4,000. Comment and argument in this
case are not needed. The fact, that
Republican administration saves
the people of New Mexico in
this one item alone the sum OF
$4,000 per annum is enough. However,
this fact must be kept before the people
and will be kept before them as far as
this paper is concerned. There may not
have been any stealing under the Ross
administration, but people can not be
gotten to believe, in view of the above
facts, that the Democratic administration
was honest. All this howl about the
penitentary made by the Democratic
house penitentiary committee upon moth
ing but the perjured testimony Of convicts
was made for no other purpose than
to throw sand into the eyes OF
the people and blind them as to the
issue of truth and fact at stake. But the
game will not work. Under the Demo
cratic administration it cost $4,000 per
year for the maintenance of the prison;
under the Republican administration
during the past two years it cost $4,000
per year or just about one-half. The ap-
preparation for this year is $3l 900. This
year it is also nnder Republican super
intendent. Facts are facts and must
prevail.
