They showed a conspiracy to defrand
the public and the patrons of the bank
They demonstrated that public funds,
the money of the state. was deposited
in the Peoples bank, not in the usual
business way, but with string to 1t,
which deposit the bank was bound TO
keep intact to enable Senator Quay to
use it as a collateral for the borrowing
Of money, and to receive certain
amount of interest on it.
From these letters, kilograms and
memoranda, thirty-six exhibits in all,
it was shown that the state treasurer
deposited with the Peoples bank, be-
tween April so and Oct. 81, 1897, be-
tween 1926, GOO and $685., 900; that Senator
Quay borrowed from the bank on call
loans in that time SIS, 1855, of which
SIPS, $50 was used in purchasing stocks
for him, and that he was not charged
nor did he pay any interest on this
borrowed money.
MI Quay had borrowed, it was also
shown, over two millions between May
6, 1856, and Oct. 81, 1897. He had got
into the way of specializing on state
funds when he was treasurer himself,
between May, 1866, and September, 1887,
having borrowed a half million from
this same bank on which he paid no
interest, at the same time receiving
interest on state deposits. The state
was furnishing all the capital and talk
ing all the risk, while Quay was rak-
ing in all the profits. This might never
have been discovered if the bank .--A
not failed as result of the methods
pursued.
The books showed that during the
period from May to October, 1897, the
state had on deposit in the People
bank sums ranging from s525,0OO to
$3.50, 600; that Quay had borrowed from
the bank in that time, without interest,
S1S5,OOO and $l4S,OOO of this had been
used in the purchase of stocks by Cash
Ter Hopkins for Quay; that of the state
deposits 5000, 900 was used by the bank
without interest; that 5000, 600 was set
aside for the use of NJ. S. Quay, and
that interest on the balance was di-
vided between Is. J. Haywood, state
treasurer, and c. H. Mckee of Wits
burg.
But Quay owns Pennsylvania, so
why shouldn't he and his friends rob
the state if they choose? And so long
as he is able to elect governors. what
is the use of talking about sending him
TO the states prison?

Washed His Face.
Washington Posi-


A woman who visited one OF the hos
pitfalls in the south last summer has
been telling a story since she came
back TO Washington which is good if
true. and just as good, perhaps, if it
isn't true. While going through the
hospital in question, so she narrates
the incident, a busy-looking, duty-lov-
ing woman hustled up to one of the
wounded soldiers. who lay gazing at
the ceiling above his cot.
Cant 1 do something for you, my
poor fellow?''' said the woman, implor-
ingly.
The poor fellow looked up languid-
ly The only things he really wanted
just at that time We're his discharge
and a box of cigars. When he saw the
strained and anxious look on the good
woman's face, however, he felt sorry
for her and with perfect sangfroid he
replied:
why, yes; you can wash my face
if you want to-
I'D be only too glad to- gasped the
visitor, eagerly.
"All right said the cavalier, gall
lantly; go ahead. It's been washed
twenty-one times already today, but l
don't mind going through it again if
it'll make you any happier"

WANT TO SUCCEED REED.

Yesterdays dispatches announced
that Hepburn is not the only Iowa
congressman with ambitions to sue
coed Speaker Reed. Dave Henderson,
who has represented his state for TWEEN
Il. years, is a formidable candidate for
the speakership and has agreed with
Hepburn to abide by the decision of
the Iowa delegation, the unit rule in
selecting their candidate to prevail.
Savoyard, writing from Washington to
the Coulier-Jounal, says of Hender-
son: He is impu.sive and good ma
tured. He is a rank partisan and with
out malice. He has the fiercest tongue
and the softest heart in congress. If he
possessed the wealth of three times
three golden balls he would empty his
pockets at the first cry Of distress. He
is one Of the few men who can shed
tears in public without being suspected
of hypocrisy. When he first came to
congress ne was about the most in
trepid bloody shirter of them ALL There
never was a man as loyal as he said he
was. When David speaks he tears pas
sion to tatteTs. In Betterton's day he
would have been a grand leading man
for tragedy. Even now he could hurl
the curse of Rome in fashion that
would remind you of the late Lawrence
Barrett when Barrett was young

EAGAN HAS CHANGED.

As leading exponent of desperation,
and star actor in the role of rage,
General Eagan has been remarkably
calm since the present beef investiga-
ton has been in progress.
Only few short months ago he
fumed and foamed at The mouth be
cause someone had intimated that his
work at the head OF the commissary
department had not proven an unqual-
iaed success.
And when regular army officers be-
gan TO testify that the beef was bad,
the old general filled the heavens with
his anger. and for awhile he had peo-
ple wondering who would be safe from
the weight of his avenging hand.
Later on official statements were
made concerning the quality of certain
food consignmeuts. and then the old
man $ wrath Was picturesque as u vol
canic eruption at night. The smoke
that lowered over the national capital
MADE winter seem like Indian summer.
Then when Miles testified, the earth
CARLY shock with the rattle OF EaSan's
typewriter.
But it is different today. How
changed he is Proof ten times more
damaging TO his reputation, and facts
sufficient to damn his administration
of the commissary department for all
time to come have been brought out,
but he preserves a safe and dignified,
not to say discreet, silence.
When his competency was questioned
he boiled 1ever and made an exhibition
Of himself that disgraced the army and
the republic. But now, when his mo-
tives are impugned, his honesty is as
sailed and his completely in the con-
tracts exposed, Eagan doesn't seem to
mind it u bit
He goes about with a frozen smile
upon his lips. as if his accusers were
doomed and the soldiers were all to be
shot for not eating the cadavers he
furnished them. He calls no one sew
enteen kinds of a liar, menaces no
body with violence, and, for all the
public is able to learn, he is perfectly
content with the turn affairs have TAX
en-. and satisfied with the situation.
lie would rather be called dishonest
than ignorant, regarded as a criminal
than fool. and seems utterly oblivi-
GUS to the fact that he is written down
as a cross betwee: the two.

Cruel Salic Law.

Gradually woman is coming to her
own, remarks a gossiper in the Roch-
ester Post Express. Like the mills of
the gods. in the familiar paraphrase,
she grinds slowly, but she gets there
Just the same In answer to the ques-
ton, What is the Sale law? put by a
school inspector, this is what one girl
replied: The Salic law was an enact
meQt that provided that no one de-
scending from female should ascend
the throne. That girl must have been
deeply impressed with the wrongs of
her sex. You may match this heroic
reply with another, which comes from
the same source. A Sunday school
teacher, after having explained to her
class that only the patriarchs were al
lowed to have more than one wife, went
on: But children, in these Christian
times how many wives may a man
have?' Upon which a little girl eagerly
put I'D her hand and cried: Please,
m, two only is generally necessary to
salvation "

REVIEW OF THE QUAY CASE.

Quay stands acquitted. The jury has
said that The charge of embezzlement
was not sufficiently proven. 1t was evil
dent thai the great boodier had every
confidence in the outcome. \ man of
such EounGless influence in the party
OF the administration has little to fear
IN a State whose political fortune and
federal patronage he holds in the hol-
low OF his hand. He refused TO intro
duce any evidence in his own behalf
He scorned to contradict the charges OF
dishonesty made against him. He was
safe. and he knew it. There was
difference between the petit jury, which
heard the case. and the grand jury
which found the Indictment. He evil
dently discovered that difference in
time 10 relieve himself OF the trouble
OF making d defense. And 50 he stands
acquitted
The prosecution was handicapped by
the influence of Quay and the obvious
hopelessness CT Furnishing him, no mat
te.. what verdict the jury rendered.
Governor stone was as ready to par
don him on conviction as he was to
APPOINT him to be his own successor
in the United States senate. Which he
did Immediately after the acQuittal was
announced yesterday.
And Vet there We're many interesting
and discriminating points brought out
al the trial. It was shown that the
Peopie's bank failed March IS, 1898;
that Receiver Barlow was appointed by
the bank commissioner two days later;
that he received a long-distance teln-
rhone message from Harrisburg in
these words:
IN the private desk OF Mr. Hopkins.
fhe cashier of the bank. are important
letters papers and books. and ] want
II say 10 you that ! hear that an at
tempt will be made tonight to take them
out ana they had better be taken by
you
This message was anonymous. It is
one OF the mysteries of the case. 1t is
not known Who sent it, but the pre-
sumption is that a plan had been FORM
ed to destroy them, and that the anony-
nous person VINO sent the telephone
warning had knowledge of this plot
Mr.. Barlow notified the police, and
guard was put around the bank until
ne could get away from court, where
he had been engaged in the trial of q
case at the time of his appointment.
That night Mr.. Barlow forced the
cashiers desk and took possession Of
the Quay letters and kilograms and the
famous red book" which were scat
tered through the desk. If ne lad
failed, and those documents had been
distracted from the desk, they would
never have appeared in the case. and
it would have fizzled out completely.
Receiver Barlow put the papers in tie
hands of Judge Gordon as the conf
dental agent of President NcManes.
They indicated that the Quays had been
guilty Of systematic embezzlement.
