Philadelphia, Nov. as.-The great
Quay conspiracy case came up in the
court Of quarter sessions yesterday and
was argued for nearly three hours be-
fore Judge Finletter. Demurrers were
filed by the defense to four Of the five
indictments. and q motion to Quash
the fifth was made. The latter was on
the indictment In which the Haywood
letter to the Peoples bank figured. no.
tifyins the bapk that he would. as state
treasurer. deposit 500, 900. and that
Richard r. Quay was to borrow $780,
900 from the bank. After arguments
by Rufus L. Shapley and A. s. l..
Shields for the defense and District At
torney Graham court was adjourned
until today, Judge Finletter reserving
his decision.
The chief point in the argument for
the defense appeared to be that when
state money was deposited in a bank
II ceased to be state money and be-
came the personal property Of the bank
1t wes admitted that the funds were
deposited In the Peoples bank as al
legged. but II was contended that II 4
burglar had stolen that money ne
would have taken the banks
money and not that Of the state. This
simlle was used to prove that II the
defendants borrowed the money they
secured the banks money and not the
states.

An ArrcOnhlO Conference,

Won Sternberg, charge d'afraires OF
Germany, called at the state depart
ment yesterday and had conference
with Secretary Hay on current topics,
particularly those growing out OF the
late war, In the course of which the
baron took occasion to express the
most friendly sentiments on the part
of Germany concerning the present
status of affairs. The call was chiefly
significant as an evidence that German
officials desire to counteract the re,
ports that Germany is about to assume
to the Sulu archipelago.

NV opinion agrees perfectly with that
expressed by my husband. firmly believe
that everyone, man or woman, married or
unmarried, should work at something, per-
form some labor, for the good Of them
selves and humanity. This work may be
in or out Of her home, according to her own
talents, time, family, inclinations and
so on.
If outer work Is chosen, care should be
taken, I believe to- keep the efforts OF
married women whose husbands are wen
able to care for and support them from in
juring the financial conditions Of women
not thus supplied with adequate means Of
support.
For this reason 1t would seem we'll that
the wage-earning question should not en-
ter into the consideration Of q married wo-
mans work. For this reason, too, do not
practice my profession for money. I love
it and keep up with 1t by devoting a certain
part Of my time regularly to using 1t for
the good of people who cannot afford to
pay for medical attendance. By doing
this I prevent myself from growing rusty
in the work love- am able to do some
good to others and do not make matters
and life harder for other women who are
not wives.
Certainly, believe every woman, wife
or maiden, should work. But the work Of
O wife whose husband Is able and glad to
support her should in no way conflict with
the work of unmarried women or OF women
whose husbands are unable to make proper
provision for them or their children.-Mrs.
