TITS the ides Of November, and the

great throng Of people are gathered
about a bulletin board, gazing with
rapt attention on the paper pasted
there. At last a man in front utters a

The crowd takes up the cry, and
soon the entire populace is shouting.

A game that is not entirely new and yet
especially appropriate for Hallowe' en- OF

empty chair being reserved for her next

When she leaves the room some word is

for instance ''horse, - and when the me-
dunn returns her task is to tell what the

MONEY IN BAD MATCHES.
Wood Gut 50 That it VIII Break
With Little Friction.
FROM the Chicago rribane.

Millions in bad matches By the sim
pie trick Of cutting the wood across the
grain, or Of cutting it with the grain at
such an angle that il will split almost
leugthwise when friction is applied, i, Is
asserted that the Match Trust is adding 10
its profits BY enormous sums yearly.
! Ii has been noticeable TO any user Of
matches during the last few weeks in par
ticular that the wood Is bad quality and
that the match Is apt to break just below
the birthstone, or to split just above the
fingers.
Is it because nature has ceased to guide
the grain Of wood as before?
Is il because the workers in the match
factories are less skillful, having become
bungling in their work ?
Or is it because the concerns that make
matches, being incorporated in powerful
alliance, have hit upon a way to increase
their profits by creating demand for
matches that is not proportionate with the
needs of the match users
Whatever the reason, the fact remains
that the matches are bad--perhaps not one
Of ten, sometimes two or three. And,
without aseertaining the cause, figures can
be made to show that the people are pay
ing TO the dealers-which, in turn, means
the wholesalers and the manufacturers
more than So, 900, 900 year more than
they would pay we're the matches of good
quality.
The average consumption of matches a
day for each person can perhaps be placed at
ten. The cigarette smoker often viii use
as many as seVenty-f and the cigar
smoker as many as twenty-five. The
housewife hardly could use less than ten,
and the small boy finds many needs for
the fame producers.
Counting the population of the country
at 20, 600, 900, the number of matches
used each day, would be 700, 900, 900.
On basis of three in every ten matches
being bad, the number of useless matches
for which the people of the country are
forced to pay each day would be 30, 000,-
000 Quite few to be sure, but wait
till the figures for a year are shown
In week the total multiplies to l, 470,
900, 900. In a month, counting thirty
days, $500, 900, 600 bad matches have
helped to enrich the men who make, dis
tribute and sell them.
The figures are already in billions, but
when the number for one day is multiplied
by 365 the astonishing total of 76, $780,
900, 900 is reached Take this many
matches, pile them in heap, and their
bulk could be better understood. They
would keep small town in fuel for the
winter.
The ordinary boz of parlor matches
contains 2G0 bits of wood and birthstone
The price varies, but the average can rea-
sonably be placed at l cents box. Re-
duce the total of 76, $50, 900, 900 bad
matches to boxes, and 383, $50, 600 is the
result. At II cents box the price paid
a year for the ingenious cross -cut matches
represents the comfortable sum of IS, 748,-
$50.
And this is not the amount paid by the
American people for matches. 1t is mere
ly what they pay for the matches that
cannot be used.

FRAUDS IN PHILADELPHIA. PA.
Confession of One Of the Reporters.


From the Philadelphia Ledger. Nov. Il
For three hours an Overlooking audi
ence, that filed every inch of available
room in Magistrate Eisenbrown's court,
listened literally spellbound while there
was unfolded story at the hearing of the
alleged gang of Washington repeaters,
which led ex-Judge Gordon in his closing
address for the Commonwealth to declare
was an exhibition of deep conspiracy,
the ike of which the Magistrate would
probably never be called upon again to
decide 1t was case, he said, wherein
every form of election conspiracy had been
shown; to bring a eolonizing gang to
Philadelphia; to stuff the ballot box; to
personate election officers; to make false
return Of votes, in fact, case where all
the ingenuity of wicked men for polluting
the ballot was illustrated, and all the va
riations of criminal genius in a great crime
that could be conceived.
The dramatic height Of the remarkable
case was reached when defendant, who
had been arrested at the Broad Street
Station at midnight on last Tuesday, as he
was about TO take a train along with 9TH
ers Of his alleged copartners in election
fraud, took the witness stand and acknOwl-
edged that he had voluntarily, and at the
instance of a newspaper reporter, joined
gang of men coming from Washington to
do crooked election work; had accompanied
them to Philadelphia on Monday; had gone
to poll in the Seventh Ward on Tuesday,
and, under an assumed name, had, along
with another Washingtonian, actually
acted as an election officer; had witnessed
the actual work of stufing the ballot box
with more than 200 votes, and afterward
joined in signing the false and fraudulent
return.
As result of this astounding story,
Magistrate Eisenbrown committed to pris-
on, in default of $500 bail each, John F.
Sheehan, Joseph R. Green, alias Rey-
nolds Drinkard; Edward jackson, alias NJ
Fl. L. Cook, and H. c. Clarke, alias Nc
Cabe, and released George Kirkland, alias
Wright, on $1,000 bail, which had already
been entered by a gentleman, who had
acted from humanitarian motives, the
Magistrate said.
