The trial then followed, and step bv step Mr. Rotherrnel preyed his case until he came to hif closir.tr argument, which was a masterly effort. The Jury W2S out but a sho-t time when a verdict of puilty was rer.umed. and thus was the most emnhatie refutation possible p!ven to the charge that thes frauds n-pre committed at the instance of leaders of the RnpuMic en organization. Testimony elicited st (he trial of the case fully s;:r.tni7!d the statement that the charartc- of the population in the. pr'-cinct in whih the frauds took place the heart of the slum districts made it quite probable that the frauds were concocted for personal advantace of some of the h.ee'ers in that locality. One of the Democrr.lie candidates was run abend of his ticket bv over one hvndred and fifty votes in this precinct. The fart that the RppuMiean ticket had prrctlcally a walkover at that e'ection in this c;tv removed any incentive for the Republican partv leaders to resort to fnnd to help along their party's candidates. Since conviction of the men ar rested in the Fifth ward there has been l?ss talk by the Democrats end the so called reformers aeitinst the Republi can organization. They know that the people are fully aware of the fact thai District Attorney Rotherrnel is en or ganization Rpublicn. that he has rtever been jeensed of opposing the Republican ticket, and that his inter ests and sympathies are all with the regular Repullicsn oreanization. It is believed that the result of this rial will po a crest way toward remov ing the fn'e impression that has beea left upon the mirrls of some that the Tfepubiican organization of the Quaker 0:'v is enr.bloi to win its splendid vic tories at the polls only by the Bid of improper n-e:.ns and illegal methods at the lections. aSHBRIDGE A GOOD MATCH. Philadelphia is a Republican city, and its municipal jrovernment is t.3 honest iv managed as 13 that of any laree citv in the country. It is true that in the past there have been thin c-one which should not have been done, but umier tn present administration the people htve found no cause for complaint.

The report of City Treasurer Me Michr.el. just made public, makes a pnuifyinp shewing. The total cash balance at the close of the year of the combined deposits of the city's money in banks is rerorted to have been ll'i. '.'..iCiVdo. The treasurer says: 'The receipts of moneys from all sources which came to the department of city treasurer during the year endins Dec "1. 1S93. smaunted to $39.3S.764.C4. The dis'ouisements of this department for the sane period segregated $34.-5o2.-1Sl.29. It is a deserved testimony "o the integrity and accuracy of the etrployes of the department that In ths handling of these vast sums, in paper Money, in coin and in checks, drufta Eiid warrants there has not been an error, a loss or a misplacement, even to the value of one cent" UNJUST CRITICISM. The treasurer enters at length Into the financial relations of the city and the state, and asserts that much criti cism of the state lor failure to make prompt payments is unfounded. He points to the fact that interest on de posits of city funds is regularly collect ed and says that by this system the city has been enriched more than $1. ("Ki.O'JO since July 1, 1S92. He shows that interest is now required on all deposits made through the city treas urer, and that every dollar in his of ficial custody is made to yield an in come.

PUSHING CONVENTION PLANS. Mayor Ashbridve has gotten the Republican national convent "cn project cut of a pretty bad tangle, and there is now no doubt that the arrangements for the convention will be entirely tstisfactory. He hag appointed a com mittee of J00 representative citizens who will tske hold of the matter of raising funds and who will generally cuperviee the plans for the conven tion. The association which started out with the work became involved in controversies and it became necessary for the mayor to step in and risht matters. This he has done, and in a short time work will be be;un upon the convention hall to remodel the building according to the plans that have been approved by Republican Na tional Chairman Hanna. Philadelphia is preparing to enter tain many thousands of visitors dur ing the week which will he d?voted to the convention, and there is every rea son to believe the visitors will all go away well pleased with (the city and Impressed by her hospitality. There will be thousands of visiters Trom the various rounfies of thia state and the Republican club men are preparing to ehow due.coortesy to all active Re publicans who will participate in ll-.s convention or who will accompany the several delegations. - President J: Hampton Mocre. of the State League of Republican clubs, who has been placed at the head of the k-.Al Republican club organization, U working night and day getting the various clubs in line to do their share of the entertaining of the visitors. iCv-laeae.

Who Like to Handle New Money Wealth la Et. err Poeket. A great many men have cra,nky Ideas alwut preparing their bills for ready handling. One plan is to fold each bill separately, keeping the denominations apart In the various divisions of their pocketbooks. This method facilitates the search for the desired sum when making a purchase. This Is almost a sure guard agaiust passing out a bill of ths wrong denomination. Then there are men who make a neat roll of ail their bills. The first Is lolit9 by Itself to abvut the size of a lead pencil, the next is lapped almut it. and so on to the end. Then a rub ber band Is placed about the entire lot. When It is desired to use one of the bills, the rubler Is removed and the end of the first bill caught be tween the thumb and foreflng'S- of the right band whiie the roll is t-ld be tween the thumb and forefinger of the left hand. Then the bill Is quickly un wound, none of the others being dis turbed. A great many men never carry a poeketlook. One reason for this Is that a well worn purse more easdy flips from the pocket than a roll of bills. Then, again, the bulk of a pock etbook Is annoying. It takes np too much room. esieclaliy where the pan taloons are made suug. When pocket- books are not carried, a favorite re ceptacle Is the watch pocket. When this Is used, the bills are made up into a little, hard bunch. Their presence is always felt against the body. In a crowd there Is no danger of losing them, nnd when traveling with auy considerable sum this Is a safe de pository. Some men have a fad of carrying a lot of new bills In an envelop that Is kept In one of the inside packets. Now and then a mnu is found who keeps a few bills In every pocket. He goi-s on the theory that If be Is rohled of one lot a sufficient amount will remain to last him until be reaches borne. He siarts out feeling that be Is going to le roblted and makes provision to meet every possible emergency. He usually makes three folds of his bills and tucks them nway in the corners of his ockets with extreme care. He does not feel surprised if lie finds upon making nu Inventory after arriving borne that a part of his funds has dls ap;cared. as lie exjiectetl to U- rohled. Anv number of men are found who keep only a little working capital In their trousers (kockets. the bulk of their funds being concealed In i.roacL fiat wallets In the inside pocket of their waistcoats. These bills are always of large denominations aud folded once. When a man brings forth his reserve funds, it will lie found that all the bills have a smooth, bright appear ance. They have leen with hlui so long that they are as flat as a sheet from a letter press. Very few men In this country carry coins In purses. In England purses are common. The material Is generally pigskin, but undressed kid is nlso used extensively. The former have two compartmeuts. one for small gold coins and the other for silver. Il Is some times amusing to watch a man with a little undressed kid bag p:iy his fare on the street cars, esin-cially If he Is wearing thick dogskin gloves. Only conductors with great patience can watch the proceeding with complacen cy. A woman can pick out five pennies from hcuciitb a roll of bills in con siderably less time than It takes the man with the kid purse to bring forth a nickel. One reason that the kid purse Is not popular is because It feels like the half of a small dumbbell In the pocket when fairly well filled. In I-ondon It is the proper thing to carry a pigskin owing to the large circulation of sovereigns. It Is essential to keep the gold and silver separate in order to avoid mistakes. There are coin cranks as well as pa per money cranks. Some years ago there lived a little, round faced man over In the Back Bay who came Into the business district every week day morning at precisely 9 o'clock. In paying his fare he always passed up a bright, new nickel that looked as If It bad come to him fresh from the mint. Where or how he got them was a mys tery to the conductor, but be finally de cided that his customer was connect ed with some banking Institution and that the new money was used to es csie the chances of contracting disease through the handling of money that had lreen In common use. There are any number of people who cannot let go a new coin without ex periencing a pang. They will hold, on to a new I alf dollar until the last ex tremity. Then there are those who visit the subtreasury every few days nnd get a pocketful of new 10 cent pieces. They experience a spcial de light In passing them out. as they feel that those who receive thero will won der "who that man is." Boston Her lld. Createat Knitters la the World.

It has decid ed that the chief troubles of woman kind are caused by "health foods," high collars, husbands who stay out until late at night and educators who make pupils study too much. All these causes were explained ami denounced at a meeting, and all came in under the wire, about evenly, for the blame. All these things were assigned as causes for the nervousness and hys teria which afflict women. All the speakers told of their expe rience with these causes, except that of the belated husbands. On this point their testimony was at second hand.
