APraeticaI Joke.

For several days the GRAFIIe has contained the advertisement ofa lost watch which belongs to one of our leading West Fifth avenue society benes. This morning the guilty cnl- prit, who all this time has been the only one who had any knowledge of the missing jewellery, showed up,and it proved to be no one less than the young lady's father In order to teach his daughter a lesson in eau ton, the fond father took the watch and carefully hid it away and watched with interest and amuse= ment the anxiety of his daughter oyer her supposed loss. Th's morn ing, not caring to carry the joke any further, the fatherretnrned the watch to h's daughtar with short lecture on carelessness, and it is needless to say that the young lady gladly ae- cepted the lecture in order to regain possession of her property.
 The daughter sought revenge, how ever, by ca ing at the GRAPHIC office this morning and requesting that a bill of S10 be rendered against her father for the advertisement.

SPOFFORD EXPLAINS.
1t Was Delayed Adjustment Of A~rauAts
and Not u Shortage.


WASHINGTON, Aug 27.-In view of
the constructions that have been
placed upon Mr.. Spofford's statement
that he recently paid to the treasury
sum of S22, 400 on his accounts, the
librarian of congress desires that the
following explanation be made pub
lie: lie states that the payment was
what he had found to be the approxi-
mate balance between two accounts,
the treasury owing him for several
monthly disbursements OF library sal
aries and he owing the treasury copy
right fees, the adjustment OF which
had been delayed by his engrossment
in pressing labors, preventing close
scrutiny aud prompt balancing of ac-
counts.
During the entire time of this de-
lay, running from October, 1893, he
had continued TO pay in the treasury
every two or three months copyright
fees to the amount of over S55, 900 in
1894 and 1895, exclusive of the S29, 4G0
referred to, This was the plain state
of the case, delayed adjustment of ac-
counts, and not a shortage as has been
widely reported.
