When the hard times came Mr.. Levy was
obliged to discharge many Of his men, among
them young Dogel. AS the boy was an expert
workman his employer promised TO take him
back as soon as business improved. Dogel had
almost given mp hope Of ever getting back, when
yesterday evening he got a telegram from Mr..
Levy asking him to report for duty this
morning and resume his old place as foreman of
the shop. The young man was overjoyed. Car
rying the telegram TO his mother, he cried:
Here's good luck, mother. Now we'll be
all right again. guess I'll go up and see Edith

Frauds IN PHILADELPHIA, TOO.
10000 False Names Said to Have Been
Placed on the Lists.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 2s.-An effort to purge
the assessors lists Of perhaps 10000 names of
persons who would not be entitled to vote has
been made by some Of the best known Demo-
Gratis in the city.
AS result 500 names were expunged in the
Fifth ward alone yesterday. and many more are
likely to follow IN the other wards. One as
SCISSOR was arrested last night. warrants were
issued for two others, and more will be issued
this week.
Registration frauds are easily accomplished
In Philadelphia There is no law requiring per-
sonal registration. but the small army OF asses
sors make what is supposed to be a personal
house to house canvass of the several wards and
record the names of the voters.
1t is easy to leave on the lists the names of men
who have moved from the city. and thus the
registration Is swelled for great popular upris-
ing Of the people. In this manner the lists werc
SO ralpably padded this fall that the fraud was
easily discoverable.
