CIPHER REPLY FROM ARCHBOLD.
Under the same date the following
reply was sent in cipher to William

PENROSE COMMENT ON FILM.
Thus it is discovered that while
the Finn yellow journals in Pennsyl-
vania are expressing their adherence
of what they denounce as malodoT-
Gus transaction on my part, within a
few months of the date of the alleged
letter from John ID. Archbold, William
Finn was asking the aid of the same

utbuton. as had the chairman Of the
republican national committee. Mr..
Ccrrelyou. and that the contribution
was appreciated by both. but that the
need Of further financial assistance
was badly felt ar headquarters ami
that such further assistance would be
still more apprec .ated.
Il knew personally at the time that
Mr.. ArChbold wanted 10 make this fur
Their contribution and felt that it YVES
presented 10 him I'm O way that made
him desire 10 make it. but he was over
ruled by his associates, who felt that
sufficient had been done. and a fur
Their contribution was not made.
WHY ADDED SUM WAS REFUSED.
IN the campaign Of 1904 no Contri-
button was made TO the PENNSYLVANIA
republican state committee by the re-
publican national committee. and hence
the special Arrangement Tor the Penn
sylyania republican state committee IN
this instance. and the transaction was
part of the general plan Of financial
aid extended for the presidential cam
paigU.
The fact that the contribution Of
$4,000 made contribution Of SI25.-
zoe TO the presidential campaign was
one reason given for the refusal OF Mr..
Archbold and his associates to com
ply with the additional requisition of
Mr. Bliss for another $4,000.
The state ticket in PENNSYLVANIA
was not in danger in the fall OF 1904
and the campaign was waged entirely
10 poll rs large a vote as possible for
the presidential and vice presidential
candidate and TO elect TO congress as
large a number OF republicans from
the state as possible.
SAYS ROOSEVELT THANKED HIM
The result was a majority OF over
( 100000 in Pennsylvania for Mr.. Roose.
welt for president ana q delegation
which was all republican with the ex.
cepuon Of one congressional district.
Immediately after the election | re-
ceiyed letter from Mr.. Roosevelt ex.
pressing his warm ana heartfelt
thanks.
The malicious efforts made to mis-.
{ represent a transaction which at the
/ time was entirely legal and proper is
only part Of the systematic efforts OF
the Flinn-Nan Nalkenburg combina-
ton in Pennsylvania 10 break me
down and deceive the people through
the INSCRIPTIONS methods OF yellow
journalism.

FINDING A PAWN TICKET.
Sometimes 1t May Be Just Walking
Into a Trap.

IntO Trap.
'While walking through one of the
prominent streets the other day" said
an innocent looking individual, Il es-
pied an important looking piece of pa
per on the sidewalk and, picking it up,
found it to be pawn ticket for dia
mond scarfpin which some careless
person had apparently dropped.
According to the ticket, the pin had
been pledged several weeks before for
S15. How am / to find the ownerF
thought l. Shall l take it to the pawn
broker? Perhaps if do the owner will
never see it anyway. The pin must
surely he a good one and doubtless
worth three times the amount for which
it was pledged. Why not appropriate
it 10 my own usef
The name on the ticket was BrowIz
and my conscience was relieved when
! found several hundred of that name
in the directory. / soon made UP my
mind and started for the brokers' of
fee. / asked to see the pin before re-
deeming it, stating that l had bought
the ticket, and upon the payment of %
cents was allowed TO examine it
ut looked all right TO me. although
am not a qualified Judge of diamonds,
so l paid the principal of SO and the
interest of $50 and the pin became
mine.
The next day 1 showed It to an ex-
pert. who declared it 10 be worth far
less than the amount had paid for 1t.
1T is a trick Of some people he
said. TO defraud unwary persons like
yourself. The scheme consists of issu-
ing tickets for spurious pieces of jew
elry for amounts many times in excess
of their value and dropping them on
the sidewalk in different parts Of town
where uasuspecting persons might find
them and redeem them. rs yon did,
thus yielding a handsome profit to the
perpetrators "-Philadelphia Record
