Mr.. and Mrs. Max Sine entertained
thirty-six of their friends at their home
last evening. Progressive whist was
the order of the evening and to say that
every one had good time would be
putting it mild. Mrs. Ed Lies won the
first prize OF the ladies, and Mr.. Boyn-
ton of the gentlemen, while Mrs. Cas-
well and Mr.. Levitt got the "booby''
prizes. About eleven o'clock Mrs.
Sine assisted by Mrs. Henry Seemann
served dainty two course supper and
later all departed having spent very
enjoyable evening.

CITY FINANCES.

CITY FINANCES.
Where the Money was Used.-The Exact
Figures.
Yesterdays Journal devotes column
and half of space to an article on
matters, in which an at
tempt is made to show the "eXtrava-
gance" of the council of 1899. Inas-
much as there may perhaps be people
who are ready to take the article in a
serious manner, we present some figures
showing where and how the money was
spent The figures as set forth by the
Journal are correct, but the article in
question is misleading. For instance it
says: s'Most, if not all of this money,
was expended on three jobs-the grad
ing on Washington avenue, West
Broadway and in laying water main the
entire length of Chestnut street."
Let's see, The Journal says the total
expenditure was SOL ,O61.73, most all OF
which was spent on three jobs. The
grading on Washington Ave, including
the intersections of streets, cost exact
ly $3,6l6.2O; the grading and opening
up road on West Broadway, which all
admit as a necessity, cost $4,000; the
laying of water maine on Chestnut,
Main, Anthony and Walnut streets and
Jefferson Ave. cost S3,016.93, making a
total expenditure on these three jobs''
of $S,633 ID. Substracting the cost OF
1900 feet of water main on Walnut,
Main, Anthony streets and Jefferson
ave.,-the Journal says it was all on
Chestnut street.-the amount spent on
the three jobs" in question is only
one-third of the amount stated by the
Journal.
For the benefit of the taxpayers of
Denison we present below figures taken
from the city records showing where
the money was spent. Without going
Into minor details it is as follows:

A New Rait For Frogs.

Girard point Is a favorite rendezvous
for Philadelphia artists who paint
marine views. They say it reminds
them of Holland. One of the craft has
noticed that every time he goes down
there he loses a paint rag, although he
is usually alone and undisturbed by
spectators, says. the Philadelphia Rec
ord The other day he secured his rag
by driving his knife through Il and Sc
curely fastening 1t to the plank on
which he was seated. Presently he
saw the knife tremble. and. looking
closer, he noticed the green head of a
frog which had seized the loose end of
the rag and was Juggling away at Ii.
The frog held on until the artist re-
leased the rag and then pumped into
the water with ii. As the painter is
fond of vivid sunsets and uses great
deal of vermilion the mystery Of where
his paint rags had gone was cleared up.
He remembered when he was a boy he
used to catch frogs on tishhooks baited
with bits of red flannel.

Shanghai, May 2S.-Reports received
today indicate that affairs around
Pekin are extremely critical, owing TO
the defeat of the government troops by
the Boxers. 1t is now regarded here
as certain that foreign troops must be
sent to Pekin to protect the legations,
while the withdrawal of missionaries
from the interior is considered impera-
tive. Large portions of the provinces
of Pc Chi Ii and Shan Tung are in a
state little better than absolute an
archy, and disorder is spreading in the
province of Shan-Si in consequence OF
the encouragement received from the
empress dowager.

WHERE PRICES ARE STEADY,

the other drummer. "of yarn heard

bills with cloclSIike punctuality,
at last, when thar grade of boots
was quoted AT 500 the manufacture

cided TO make amends So he wrote
the country merchant, saying that
there had Jeen a considerable decrease
in the price of leather. and he was glad
to state that be would be able to let
him have the last lot of boots he order
cd at 81 pair. This he added, was a
special low rate, made on account Of
personal esteem and the fact that be
had been n regular customer for such n
long period. \ few days afterward the
conscientious manufacturer WAS amaZ-
eel to receive a letter running some
thing like this:

Every arrangement has been made for

anybody, and she credited the tale.
Miss Glendon was an orphan "a years

somewhat more than a dollar per min
