NEW YORK, Oct 2s-The New York
| World (Democratic) ia a special dispatch
I from Philadelphia makes charges against
Hon. NJ. S. Quay, OF Philadelphia.
The World says; Tangible evidence OF
the intimate financial relations OF John
Bardsley and Matthew S Quay was dis
covered Tuesday. IL is in the form OF a
due bill, which always has been the favor
ite means Of maintaining assets in the
state and city treasures. The bill shows
that Bardsley drew from the keystone
bank on Nov. ~, 1889, ss,s7T and dispatch
ed il to Quay.
1T would be interesting to know where
this money came from. One plausible ex
PLANTATION is that on Nov. 2, 1882 Hugh
McCamant, the auditor general OF Penn
sylvania, sent Bardsley $50, ,0U0 for the costs
ia the magistrates courts Of PHILADELPHIA.
This, II is supposed, Bardsley deposited ia
the favorite bank Of the city ring, the Key
stone. On Nov. 20 he paid TO II. N. Graf
en-, one Of Auditor General McCamant's
clerks 1873. The remittance 60 Quay
was on the same day. Mr.. Quay deposited
the bill in his bank at Beaver and the Kew
stone bank paid ii as the Endorsement
shows. The signature Of Quay under the
Endorsement by Bardsley is unmistakable.
as is the stamp Of the Beaver Deposit
bank
The World publishes fac smile Of
Bardsley's due bill, showing the alleged
signatures Of g. W. Marsh, John Bardsley
and NJ. S. Quay, and insinuates that in
the light Of the Bardsley draft which Mr.
Quay is said to have received, il is not so
much Of a mystery after all how the $780,
600 Bardsley deficiency occurred
The New York Sun also prints the due
bill story and adds: Attorney General
Hensel made an unsuccessful effort 90 put
this evidence before the state senate, but
was cut of by technical objection The
due bill is No 2.3l5 and dated Philadel-
phia, 1889. It shows that John Bardsley
deposited on Nov. %. 1889. s, e77, payable
to the order Of himself on the return OF
the certificate properly indorsed It was
signed G. w. Marsh, cashier. The indorse-
ments are:
PAY to the order Of NJ S. Quay and
signed John Bardsley;" "M. 5. Quay.
Pay to y. G. Hutchinson. cashier or
order, for collection account of Beaver
Deposit bank. j. r. Parrah, cashier;n

order, for account OF Allegheny National
bank, PittsbuFg. f. c. Hutchinson,
Nd7At0As stamp INcCelNcu through
Clearing House Of Farmers and Mechan-
les National bank, Philadelphia."
The facts in connection with the pay
ment are thus summed up: Bardsley placed
almost million Of the states money in
the Keystone bank, from which it was
stolen by himself or his confederates.
None OF The experts who have examined
the bank books have been able to discover
where this money all went.
The certificates now In Receiver Yard
ley's possession shows that Bardsley got
SSH from Eae bank on Nov. %, 1859, and

Rot a Safe Rul.,

Among the many sage observations
found in the writings OF the bard Of
Avon is this There's no art to find
the minds construction in the face. !"
Persons who have made study Of
physiognomy are most willing to con-
TESS that it is difficult matter to dis
Germ the character of the mind from
the shapes, shades and expressions OF
faces. A character in the play OF
Hamlet" is made to say:
o villain, villain, smiling, damned villain !!
My tables-meet it is said set it down,
That one may smile, and smile and be a
villain,
At least I'm sure it may be so in Denmark.
And it Is SO the world over. Is it
true there are some faces that strong
ly indicate certain characteristics. but
as q rule 1t would be an unsafe pro-
ceeding to take men at what they ap.
pear to be.

EE-CIVlNC IN FRAN


What American travelling abroad,
and especially in France, does not
hate The custom of constant fee-riving?
says Paris letter in the Boston Jour
nal. The ''pourboire' is European
institution so firmly rooted in the
customs of the people that it will be
difficult to eradicate it. Every one
has to submit to this species of servi-
tude, natives as well as foreigners.
1t Is II voluntary servitude, to be sure,
created by gratitude and pcrpetuated
by habit; but it now has all the force
OF an act of the legislature. One is
not legally obliged to give fees but
custom has made the practice as
obligatory as any law. Frenchmen
were able 10 overthrow the bastile 1Ol
years ago, but they are powerless
against the 'pourboire'' OF to-day. If
natives cannot change the custom,
how little can foreigners avail?
have often heard Independent Ameri-
cans exclalm, on their arrival in Paris
for the first time, that they would not
give fees everywhere, that they were
Americans. that they would not con-
form to such customs. ETC., etc. Life
was soon made a burden to them, and
they found that they would either
have to give fees or return home.
They were opposed to it on principle
more than from desire to save
money. The custom is all wrong,
but, in the memorable words of Bill
Tweed, "what are you going to dc
about it?"
There is a league being formed
against the ''pourboire' at restaur
ants. and by whom do you think? BY
the walters themselves. Yes. that i.
true. and they have lately been hold
ing 4 conference in Paris with the
avowed object OF suppressing fees al
cafes. The proprietors of such estab-
lishments not only do not pay the
walters any salary, but they take fol-
themselves portion of the fees pait
to the walters by the consumers. Nov
the walters wish to abolish the fee
| system and have tixli salaries estab
lished for them.

The fire upon the hearth is low,

The fire upon the hearth is low,
And there is stiffness everywhere:
Like troubled spirits here and there
The freight shadows tiuttering 60,
And as the shadows round me creep,
A childless treble breaks the gloom,
And softly from further room
Comes: "Now lay me down to sleep"
And, somehow, with that little prayer
Aud that sweet treble in my ears,
My thought goes back to distant years
And fingers with a dear one there:
And as hear the child's amen,
My mothers faith comes back to me-
Crouched at her side seem to be,
And mother holds my hands again.
Oh for an hour in that dear place.
Oh for the peace of that dear time.
Oh for that childish trust sublime!
Oh. for glimpse Of mothers face!
Yet, as the shadows round me creep,

The Law is Unjust t, Women.

Under the semi-barbaric laws OF
England, from which our laws regula-

copied, the condition OF married wo-
man was one Of slavery in everything

lowed her husband to whip her as
often as he chose, provided he did not
use a stick thicker than his thumb.
They gave him all her property abso-
lutely at marriage, and denied her the
right to make a will or to act as exc
cutrix, or to assert any rights OF own
ership over the money which had been
given 10 her by her own father. They
subjected her to the ignominious and
disgraceful punishment OF the duck
ing stool il she used her tongue little
too freely against her female neigh
bors. and the unhappy creature was
doused into the water again and again
