QUAKER CITY FUNDS Low
Treasurer Pays Employees Out of
His Own Pocket.
BY Telegraph to The Tribune. !


Philadelphia. May 29-Murrel Dobbins,
City Treasurer, to-day took $4,000 from his
own pocket to pay the employees of the DIFF
fercnt city filter plants their May salaries.
These employees have received no money
since the latter part Of April because no
funds have been available with which to
pay them. AS soon as Mr.. Dobbins learned
of this condition he went to Mayor Blank
enburg and offered to take the money from
his own pocket so the men could be paid.
The Mayor explained that the city could
give no promissory note for the $4,000
which was necessary. but Mr.. Dobbns de-
clared that made no difference. the men
had earned the money and they should have
it. They were paid this afternoon.
Some time ago the City Council was no.
titled by Mayor Blankenburg of the condi-
ton existing in the filter plants, and APP
pealed TO the councils TO make some pro-
vision for paying the men. Councils paid
no attention to this appeal, but suggested
that the money he borrowed from some
source.

At that moment, strangely enough,
something besides the fury and the re-

had stood beside General Weymouth
he had not looked down into the pit

PROLOGUE OF The STORY.

Thelismer Thornton, locally known
as "Duke Of Canibas," for fifty years
boss of his district, plans to retire and
send his grandson, Harlan, to the leg
islature as his successor. The reform
ers in his district, who are called
''Ramrodders," endeavor to defeat
Harlan for the nomination. They are
led by Ivus Niles, Evangelist Dudley
and others. Harlan is unwilling to be
a candidate, but his grandfather in
sists. Harlan and Miss Clare Kava-
nagh are very much interested in each
other, and Thornton and Clare's IA
Their try to break up this intimacy.
The reformers are in control Of the
caucus, but Thornton's followers STAN
pede them by starting forest fire and
during their absence nominate Harlan
for the legislature. Harlan helps sub
due the fire, learns Of his nomination
and tells his grandfather that he will
decline it because it was dishonesty
procured.
However, the duke gets him to run
for the office, settles with farmers who
lost by the forest fire and practically
assumes management Of the whole
state campaign. Harlan meets Clare,
who, gowned and gloved, looks more
mature. Thornton and Harlan pay a
secret visit to Ex-Governor Weymouth
and get him to accept the nomination
for governor in order to beat Arba
Spinney. Harlan meets pretty Made
leine Presson. Weymouth startles
Thornton and other leaders by insist
ing upon writing his own platform
and upon a rigid enforcement Of the
prohibitory law. They refuse to nom
nate him. Harlan deserts his grand
father and supports Weymouth, who
learns that Spinney has been bribed
TO retire by Thornton, Presson and
others. Weymouth announces that
they must at once nominate him for
governor.
