The General Fund.

exact purpose for which they were
collected.
The General Fund.
The General Fund consists of all
money collected by the city for tax
es, all license fees and all sundry
amounts due the city'by reason of the
ordinances Of Council or by law.
From this fund alE2 the running ex-
penses Of the city; the care and main
tenance Of the public buildings, parks
streets, alleys and sewers; the; main
tenance of the Fire and Police De-
partments, and all other general ex-
pense necessary to the welfare Of the
city, are paid. As the beginning of
the fiscal year has been changed from
May 1st to January LIST, the receipts
and expenses of the first four months
Of 1905 are shown separately from
the last eight months, but in order
that proper comparisons may be
made the sum total given is for the
entire year. A separate table is al
so given Of the expense of the city
during the last eight months showing
in detail the appropriations, expen-
dItures and balances Of each account.
There is also given a. statement of
the appropriations for 1905. In
making the appropriations for the
eight months Of 1905. no estimate
could be obtained Of the amount of
old claims against the city, and the
Controller has at various times found
it necessary to ask Council to in
crease many of the original appropri-
ations. In the appropriation for the
city's part of improving the streets,
alleys and sewers, for example, the
amount actually required by the
Board of Public Works, was 1885,
50, while the claims of old contracts
increased this amount to $9,057,94.
Every known claim against the city
has been paid, and the condition of
the General Fund, January !. 1906,

Anecdotes of Dan O'Connel1

THERE are a good many interesting stories
l. told OF the famous Daniel O'COnneu. Once
he was defending a prisoner indicted for murder.
The principal witness against the defendant
swore that the prisoners hat had been found
near the place OF the murder. The hat was
then produced IN court and the witness swOre
positively that It was the same one that was
found, and that it belonged TO the prisoner.
BY virtue of your oath, are you positive
that this IS the same hat!
"Yes"
did you examine it carefully before you
swore that It was the prisoners"
Now, let me see" said O'Connell, as he
took up the hat and began carefully to examine
the inside of It. He paused with curious ex-
preston on his face, and then spelled aloud,
" J-a-m-e-s Now, do you mean to say that
that name was in the hat when you found it ,"
he asked, turning to the witness
a do"
Did you see it there?"
And this is the same hat?"
"Now, my lord" said the lawyer. turning
to the Judge, there's an end to this case
There is no name whatever within this hat. B"
The prisoner Wa instantly acquitted.
An amusing incident is told of a victory
over O'Connell by witness whom he was
cross examining. The witness was for the
crown, and the case was rot committed by
crowd OF beggars OConnell was at that
time well known, and it was after he had re-
ceived his sobriquet Of the big beggar man" 3"
The witness finished, and O'Connell began
the cross examination. Now tell the court
Just how many beggars there were" he SAID.
Indeed, did not stop TO count them, but
there was a great tribe of them, your honor"
"a whole tribe of them, Ell? VIII you tell us
to what tribe they belonged?"
Indeed, your honor, that is more than !
can do for l never heard, but think 1t must
You may 60 down, siri" said O'Connell IN
a rage, amid the laughter Of the court.
New-York tribune., 1906-10-21
Ellenborough's Sarcasm

THERE are few places that have given birth
L to more huInor and wit than the court
room. Many have heard OF the hunor of the
famous Lord Peterborough
One day young member of the bar rose to
address the court in grave criminal case
:" My unfortunate client he began; repeated
1t two or three times, and then stopped short
Go on, sir, go on?' said Ellenborough. 80
far the court IS with you"
At another time Randle Jackson, who de-
spised technicaity and reveled in eloquence,
began his argument with, In the book of
nature II IS written"
Ellenborough broke in with, "Be good
enough TO mention the page from which you
are about to quote"
One day during an important criminal trial
surgeon was called 10 the stand, and when
asked his profession he said, % employ my
self as physician"
But said Ellenborough, docs anyone
else employ you as physician?"
When Westmoreland was in the House of
Lords he rose to give his opinion on a question
in debate and said. At this point ask myself
4 question"
And a stupid answer you are sure to get
to 1t. 1nurInured EllenborOugh.

prised when he discovered that the bill was
twenty dollars. why Judge" he said, "vou

You don't understand, Jim" said the
Judge. Remember, l am not charging YOU
for the mechanical execution, but for the art
OF knowing how to do it.
Jim was satisfied and the price was no longer
questioned. Sometime later the Judge had
occasion to have couple of CRATES set in his
house, and elected jim for the job. When the
work was completed he asked the price and was
promptly informed that 1t was twenty dollars
Twenty dollars! Gracious goodnessl Ger
tainly not twenty dollars for that little work."
@" But look here, Judge" broke in Jim. Re-
member, | am not charging You for the

The Judge was so pleased with the joke that
the price was paid without a word.
