A great big scandal, involving, through more than one of its members, the administration, may be the out come of the Ttata business. It is whispered in inside circles here that the opinions of certain people the matter is entirely too serious to use names upon no better basis than min or have been influenced both for and against the Chilian insurgents by the receipt of large sums of money, which has, according to the story, been furnished by certain parties in New York who are heavily interested in Chilian commerce, and whose business rivalry is thought by many to be at the bottom of all the trouble in that unfor tunate country. Certain it is that Balmaceda and the insurgents are both represented in Washington by shrewd agents and lawyers, the latter Ameri cans, and the appearances indicate that both sides are well supplied with money and that at least one side has paid big money for the right to use the news columns of certain newspa pers. The administration officially rec ognizes only the Balmaceda govern ment but Senor Montt, the represen tative here of the Chilian insurgents, or, as he says, "the only constitutional government of Chili," appears to be confident that the Itata will be released by the courts and that the insurgents will soon be recognized by this Gov ernment. It is rather an odd coincidence that Secretary Foster, the defender of the extravagance ot tne billion-dollar Con gress, and a man who has been pre eminent in his party as a spoilsman, should have reached the same conclu sion that the late Hon. Samuel J. Ran dall. who as chairman of the Commit, tee on Appropriations of the House of representatives made a reputation for honesty and economy in public expen ditures never surpassed, did as to the advisability of abolishing five out of the six Auditors offices of the Treasury aepanment, Decause 01 the uselessness of the work done in those offices, which consists almost entirely of duplicatinz the work done in the offices of the Comrjtroller of the Treasury. Mr Randall once drew up a bill to abolish these and some other useless bureaux of the Treasury department, but he found it impossible to secure support lor it in Congress, because it meant a large reduction in the number of clerks employed, which meant that much less patronage tor tne congressmen. It would be an easy matter, were Con gress so disposed, to save nearly $2 000,000 ner vear in this one deoart ment, by taking up and crrying out f - T1 1 - Ut- I 1 . l- 1 . xvaiiuau 5 original luea, wnicn ior some reason Mr. Foster has seen fit to endorse. There has been a hitch in making public the schedule for the 1. i i 1 ' . 1 suDsicuzea lines 01 steamsnips, wnicti was promised for last week by Mr. Wanamaker. It is still in the hands of Mr. Harrison, who took it for re vision before leaving Washington, anc those who ought to know say that the: trouble has been that all the conferen ces between Mr. Harrison and Mr Wanamaker have been taken up by tne utters trying to make plain to the former just what his connection had been with the wrecked Keystone Bank ot rnilaaerphia; ana tney say that Mr. Harrison has subjected Mr. Wanamak er to a much more rigid cross exami nation than the committee in Phila delphia did. The republicans claim in public that Mr. Wana maker's several explanations have completely exoner ated him ; but among themselves they are not quite so sure about it, and many of them predict that it is going to give the party lots of trouble, par ticu'arly in Pennsylvania. It is cer tainly an affair to be deeply regretted, not only by Mr. Wanamaker's person al and political friends, but by the pub lic at large. Prof. Dyrenforth of the Agricultural Department is on his way to the most arid section of western Kansas, carry ing with him the balloons, kites, dyna mite bombs, etc., with which he ex pects to obtain by explosions in the air a copious fall of rain in that region, where rain is unknown. He has an appropriation of $9,000 to spend in experimenting. Fourth Auditor Lynch, the negro who with Ex-Senator Bruce was given office in exchange for a Harrison dele gation from Mississippi, has just re turned from that State and reports that the contract has been complied with, and that not only Mississippi but the entire South will send a solid Harrison delegation to the republican conven tion, which cannot be broken. He forgot to add : Unless some other can. didate is disposed to open a barrel,J in which case the Southern delegation can be stampeded just as they have been in all previous republican nation al conventions. Another negro, Fred Douulas will soon be out of a job, as it is semi officially announced that, ho will not go back to Ilayti, as minister. He brought with him a reciprocity treaty with Hayti which he negotiated, but the administration fur some reason doesn't seem proud of it. Revelations Made by the Experts Wfao Ex amined Ex-Treasurer Bardsley t Accounts- HOW JOHN PAID FOR KINDNESS. The experts appointed to investi gate the accounts of John Bardsley, late city treasurer, have made a detailed report to the mayor. A recapitulation of their statement is as follows : Net amount due to the state. $ty 585,602,93 j net amount due to the city, $1,008,949,00; total balance due to the state and city to be accounted for, $2,595,551.95. Deduct amount of deposits in various banks to May 30 1891, JWMS.W, leaving, $1,674,- 878.47. Deduct Keystone bank due bills, $925,000 ;deduct Keystone bank checks paid by Bardsley in excess of $437' SS4'3J m Clt.v furd account, $196,043.10. Total net deficiency in Mr. Bardsley's accounts, f 553,835,38. As to the credit of $925,000 repres ented by Keystone bank due bills, we find more or less evidence of payments made from time to time by Mr. Bard sley to the president of the bank, which may make up this amount. The due bills are irregularly numbered and dated, and this, in connection with the fact that we have found four blank due bills in a sheet uncut under a blotter on Mr. Bardsley's desk, creates a fair sus picion of their genuineness. Mr. Bardsley's private memorandum book shows that he was paid by the Keystoi.e bank $1,000 each month, commencing in January, 1889, and continuing regularly to September, 1S90, making a total of $21,000. This sum was regularly paid in addition to interest which lie received on state money loaned or deposited, and ap pears to represent three per cent, on the limit of $400,000 of the city de posit. One entry shows the receipt of $500, ''for the use of $100,000 from December 12 to 31, 1889, at $25 per day," equivalent to an interest rate of nine per cent. The total amount of interest paid Mr. Bardsley for the years 1889 and 1890 by this bank alone was $76,827,36. Thus it appears that these due bills represented loans personally made to the'bank, rather than deposits therein, and which acts ot loaning were wrong ful conversions to his own use and the violations of the laws of this common wealth. It may well be doubted whether such a credit under such cir cumstances is properly made, but it is allowed in this account without exam ination. J Auditor General McCamant and Wm. Livsev, state treasurer, received their share in the spoils. Check No. 408 dated February 28, 1890, reads "For L. & Mc. January & February $1000. Check No. 135, "March 17. 1 89 1, cash half of 750 Mc $375." Check No. 205, December 4, 1889, "Wm. Livesy, state treasurer, for his kindness to me during the year, $500 " In the state advertising Bards ley received 40 per cent, one-half of which he divided with the Auditor General. On page 43 is written "news paper 1889, balance $14,289.04 ; one half to Thomas McCamant, $7,144.52. For the year 1890 the amount from this 40 per cent was $17,076.00. June 11, 1890 check No. 435 was drawn which reads to myself or bearer" for $7,108.85, and on the face of the check is written in ink the word "Large." There is no evidence yet to whom this check was paid. For 1891 Bardsley received for his half of the 40 per cent $8,064.40. Denials Do Not Disprove- Boss Quay says that if Mr. Herbert Welsh, of Philadelphia, or any other Free-Trader, has any proofs that he ever unlawfully invaded the State Treasury he would be delighted to have the said proofs placed on exhibi tion. Has Mr. Quay forgotten that The World has cordially invited him into court upon an explicit promise to furn ish all the proofs that may be required? Is he not also aware that if innocent he has only to ask Senator Cameron, Wayne MacVeagh and Christopher L. Magee to tell the truth ? They know the facts. Mr. Quay alone can un lock their lips by removing the seal of confidence. If he is not guilty, as Mr. Welsh and several hundred other Philadel phia Republicans have recently charged over again that he is, he has the two methods of vindication always open to him : He can sue The WoililaxA recover ample damages, or he can invite the three eminent re publicans above named to state what they know. Why does not Boss Quay put his denial to the test of evidence ? World. Chapter 1: Weak, tired, no appetite. Chapter 2: Take Hood's Sarsaparilla. Chapter 3: Strong, Cheerful, hungry.

The owners of swine, who permit them to run at large without rings and yokes, in violation of the provisions of the act of 1765. t Sm. L. 70, is liable in an action of trespass for depreda tions committed by them upon the en closure of another, irrespective of the character of the fences surrounding such enclosure. F.very man has a reputation for so briety or for intemperance, in the com munity wherever he resides ; and when a man becomes crenerallv known aa an intemperate man in his neighborhood, a person wno sens mm liquor witmn that neighborhood, must ascertain and take notice of such reputation at his peril. The provisions of Sec. 9 act of June 3, 1878, amended by act of April 25, 18S9, which forbid any person to "kill or expose for sale, or have in his or her possession, after the same has been killed, any quail" between certain dates in each year, do not prohibit the selling or having in possession, during said period, if quail be killed in and imported from another state. No Matter How Hard any druggist tries to sell you his own cough medicine, remember he does it because he makes more money on it. Insist on having Kemp's Balsam for the throat or lungs, for there is 110 cough remedy so pure and none so quick to break up a cold. For in fluenza, soreness of the throat and tickling irritation with constant cough, Kemp's Balsam is an immediate cure. Large bottles 50c and $1. At all drug gists. The Common House Ply. The common house fly does not, in the ordinary sense of the word, mi grate, though, of course, individuals of the species frequently travel long distances. The remarkable fecundity of the fly is quite sufficient to account for its numbers during the early sum mer. A few individuals, in the torpid state, survive even the coldest winter, and with the first warm days of sum mer lay their eggs. When deposited under favorable conditions these are hatched in from twelve to twenty-four hours and in twelve days the worm changes into a nymph and in ten days more into a perfect fly. A fly will lay four times during the summer, about eighty eggs each time, and care ful calculations have demonstrated that the descendants of a single insect may, from the m of June to the end of September, exceed 2,000,000. Were it not for bats, insect-eating birds and the innumerable miscroscopic para sites with which the fly is particularly afflicted there would be no worse pest in the world than the fly.

It tones the stomach and other organs, regulates the digestion, creates a good appetite, and by thus Sick overcoming the local symp. u 0 'c . toms removes the sympa-HOSd&CTIO tlietlo effects ot the disease, banishes the headache, and refreshes the tired mind. " I have been troubled with dyspepsia. I had but little appetite, and what I did eat Unnrta distressed me, or did me "ar little good. In an hour DUm ajter eating I would expe rience a falntness, or tired, all-gone feeling, as though I had not eaten anything. My trou ble, I think, was aggravated by my business, which Is that of a painter, and from being more or less shut up In a Sour room with fresh paint.
