THE JUNKET BUSINESS. How It Ilns Urown to Its Present Aw fill Proportions—Dcinoci-utl<* and ltrpnl-licnii Halt- < oniparrd. In connection with state politics in Pennsylvania there are few things more interesting or instructive and absolute ly nothing more fully demonstrable of the curse of the machine rule than a study and comparison of the various general appropriation acts of the state legislature. Mr. Wanamaker has fit tingly supplemented the work of the Democratic party, its conventions, com mittees and press, in explaining to the people that these acts cover many mon- Ntrous extravagances and villainous f.teals. There are not many of the features of them more prolific and as tounding in this range of development than those that touch the sums voted for legislative junkets, "extra services" of legislative committees, and the multitudinous commissions that are constituted for the solo purpose of put ting unearned money into the pockets of the henchmen and retainers of the dominant party throughout the state. A carefully compiled tabic, made up from an item-by-item search of the general appropriation acts for the past 15 years shows that in 1883, the first year of Governor Pattison's tirst administra tion.there wasatotal of $7,348.91 awarded for these purposes. These included the expenses of investigating the State col lege, the clerical force of the several state departments, the western Penn sylvania insane asylum and peniten tiary, and the accounts of that expen sive appendage to our state govern ment, Mr. John C. Delaney, then occu pying the position of librarian of the senate, which had no library. They covered also the cost of the Bns ier-Wagner contested election case ($1,185) and of a commission selected to report a comprehensive system of bookkeeping for the several depart ments. In the year 1885 there were still fewer appropriations of this kind, the total being but $3,918, out of which an item of $1,200, for the expenses of the com mittee to investigate the Standard Oil trust, Governor Pattlson vetoed, leav ing a balance of but $2,718.43 taken from the treasury by the general appropria tion act, as Anally made a law, for these purposes. In 1887, however, General Beaver hav ing in the meanwhile become governor, these appropriations swelled to $16,965, an increase of several hundred per cent. As illustrating the careless and fraudulent methods that had already begun to prevail, $6,000 of this total was voted In a lump sum for four Investi gations, an excursion to Gettysburg and a member's funeral. It was not until 1889, however, that there was anything like a really riot ous revel along these lines. Beaver was stilt governor, and the aggregated Items in the general appropriation bill for these unnecessary and unlawful uses reached the enormous sum of $123,868,- 60. These included $17,860 for a house contest and $39,759.72 for a senatorial contest, entirely unprecedented figures, $15,000 for a committee to examine and report upon the charitable and correc tional systems of the commonwealth. $6,000 for a commission to codify the road laws, another $6,000 for a com mittee on Industrial education and $10,700 laid out In taking the legislators to participation in the centennial Inauguration of George Washington as president. And Beaver never interposed a single veto. A unique Item in this list is SIOO for a committee on amended orthography. There was certainly a bad spell of ap propriation legislation about that time. It was so had, In fact, that its cost ti the taxpayers was greater even than the accomplished and proposed similar steals of the 1897 legislature, including both those In the general appropriation and those In the special appropriation bills, and the citizen who believes in honesty and economy in state expendi tures may he pardoned for asking where were Wanamaker and Swallow then? In 1891 the Democrats attain had the governor and that year the appropria tions for junkets, &<•., in the general act were but $73,859.33, and of these Mr. Pattison vetoed items aggregating $34,116, leaving the actual outlay but $39,743.23, or less than a third of Heav er's last term figures. In 1893, warned doubtless by these ve toes, the legislature made the general appropriation act cover only $3,466.12 of such expenditures. Hut the Republicans came In again in 1895, and that year the total was $115,486.92, or about $15,000 more in the general bill than there were in 1893 in both the general and the special bills together. Here again was a sharp summons to Republican reformers, but they failed to put In an appearance. Hastings had not yet fallen out with the machine. His vetoes, in 1 95, of this class of Items amounted, all told, to $40,715, leaving a balance awarded of $74,771.92, or nearly 22 times as much as the total for Pattlson's last term. The 1897 legislature voted for pur poses within the category under discus sion $11,401.43 In the general bill and $60,123.02 in special bills. Of the aggre gate, $101,524.45. Governor Hastings ve toed, all told, but $30,823.90, leaving the actual waste or fraud at $70,691.55. There was absolutely no excuse for more than probably a tenth of this outlay. It comprehended, as fully ex plained In another article, very many audacious swindles in addition to the handful exposed and overridden by the governor. And yet the cost to the state of the whole business was much less than that of 1895 or that of 1889, though, In those years the Democratic protests went utterly unheeded by the so-called Republican and Prohibitionist reform ers, and the perpetrators of the scoun drelly grabs pocketed the swag and were In many Instances triumphantly returned to the places they had dis graced. No fair man can ponder and digest the figures here given without being forced to the conclusion that, both by promise and performance, the Demo crats of Pennsylvania have approved their title as the only genuine and re liable reformers of corruption and Inex cusable waste In the matter of the state expenditures. Messrs. Bower and Trickett were nominated because they are brainy men, and would grace the superior court bench. Every man who knows anything knows thai Swallow cannot possibly win. Therefore, wise Democrats will not throw their votes away upon him. HUMAN HAIR HARVEST. ltegular Clrop la Clown To Supply Switohea mid Wluh. If the tresses you wear did not grow oil your head tlicy probably arc im ported. The United States buys more than $2,000,000 worth of hair encll year, much of which is used in the manufacture of wigs and switches m supplement the cranial hirsute adorn ment of those whose locks are scanty. The popular Idea Is that the materi hi for switches is supplied oy pi.,.. ..... . who, to raise a mortgage or pay the rent or something of the sort, do ne the girls la, story books, and go to a hairdresser and sacrifice their magnifi cent "crowning glories" for their fam ily. It is true that some hair is ob tained In this way, hut the supply is too inconstant to be depended upon. There is a regular hair harvest, just as regular as the wheat crop. In fact, It is more to l-o depended upon, as drought does not affect it. Most of this hair comes from Switzerland, Ge many and the French provinces. There is a human hair market in the lower Pyrenees held every Friday. Scores of hair traders walk up and down the village streets, their shears dangling from their belts, and cx amiue the braids which the peasant girls let down for their inspection. If a bargain is struck the hair is cut and the money paid on the spot. These girls lgtve fine linir and can raise more than one crop. A woman's hair may grow to the length of six feet. A single hair will lvar up a weight of four ounces without break ing, but the hair thus heavily tried must be dark brown, for blonde hair will break under a strain of two and a half ounces. The hair that is cut Is the best. Dealers can easily tell whether the locks offered them have lx-en cut off or combed out. Tlicy do this by rub bing the hairs through their fingers. If the hair lias la-en cut from the head and lias not been misplaced it remains In the original position. If It has been pulled or combed out and put together regardless of the direction la which it grew, one portion will slip to the right and another to the left. It does this because the Jagged edges catch upon each other and pull In opposite direc tions.—Chicago Times-Herald. ENCHANTED GROVE OF BEES. !'-rnllarlty of Two Troon, iho Cause Ol Wlilcll Cannot He K* On the site of an old Shawnee vil lage is n spot which seems to have been the thickest settled part of the town, is a grove of black oak trees. In this grove are two very large post oak trees, one In the south and one In tin- north end of the grove. In the grove can lie heard most any day the buzzing of n swarm of bees so plainly lhat the noise has fooh-d many old las- hunters, lint all their search lias never revealed a single bee. Now comes the most peculiar part of this most peculiar tale. The huge postoak tree standing at the north end of tin- grove is the curiosity of the bunch, for not long ago a young man hearing of tin- bees went to tin spot and proceeded In look carefully till each tree in the grove until he came to tin- north tree, lie was with in two leet of tills tree. Inking up, when he heard a noise Just like a carpenter at work nailing on hoards, and tin- noise socmcd to come from the tree. He went around it several times, trying to locate the hammering, but it still seemed to come from the tree. The hammering continued until he happened to touch the tree with his hand, when it suddenly stopped. The man ilu-n went away amazed. A day or so afterward this man had invasion again to pass that way. He slipped up to the tree and listened for the hammering, and sure enough, It was as plain as ever. He touched the tree with the end of his linger, and as before the noise stopped at oner. This man and several others have tried touching the tree several tunes since, with the same result. Tlic.v say Hint the humming ol' la*is and the curious hammering can lw heard any day. hut no one has l>eea able to explain the mysteries of th! enchanted grove,—Galveston News.
