Among the busiest, most useful and cUe

this biler sketch applies te him, and who
could discharge them all se well as he?
The Meravians, tee, wero en the ground

and altera life or exercise and study lu the

Mr. Hark went te Nazareth te ougage In

in dedicating It until it was out of debt, and
slnce the debt has been lifted no dedicatory

te a marked degiee he has succeeded.
When he ran for Congress threoerfour years

Kvangelist Meedy has mere than the aver
age amount of common sense lu his make up.
This Is one of his chlef characteristics, and he
has nover shown it uiore plainly than during
his present series of meetings In the cities of
the far Seuth. The question at once arese
when he was In New Orleans and Galveston
and Housten and ether cities, " What shall
we de with the negrees "' There was no
doubt that they needed converting quite as
much as their white brethren ; but what
should be dene about Inviting them te tlie
meetings t Mr. Meedy refused te de any
anythlng. He insisted upon leaving the ar
rangements te the local committees lu the
cities he visited, and the result was that lu
some places a certain part of the halt was re
served for the colored people, in ethers they
had exclusive use of the hall at certain hours,
and in ethers the evangellst went te the ne ne
geo churches.
Thore was seme complaint because the
meetings were net thrown open te black and
w Inte alike, and because the colored ministers
were net invited te sit en the platform with
the white preachers. The ovimgellst ild no
attention te this. He said he was just as
glad te preach the gospel te a black man as
te a whlte man, but he did net leel that it
was any part or his mission te go te Soutliern
cities and try te settle the great race question.
Ile did net go as a reformer, but le preach

Governer Pattlsen, Atterney General Cav

jmnled by it stenographer and Mr, Jehn
Nerrls, of the Philadelphia lleeertt, yoster yester
day visited tlie Mount Jey soldlers' orphans
school te Investigate the charges made by
the Itccerd el sorleus mismanagement at that
institution. The party wero met at the
school by Superintendent Shermati, who has
been connected with soldlers' orphans
schools for seme lime, but only with the
Mount Jey institute slnce the charges wero
made against It.
They made a cemplete Inspection of the
premises aud, according te the llteerit, found
a condition of things te Justiry all the charges
made. Its reirt says tlie boys' play-room,
where they play during rainy woather anil
study overy night, is a dark, bad-siuelllng,
lew.celllng place, evidently built as the
furnace cellar, as It Is partially underground.
The boys wash iu a long trough, along which
runs n orferatod plpe from which the water
Is turned en. Per lsl boys thore were four
tewels, that, boiled down, would have made
a geed fertilizer. Tlie atterney general, in
coiumentingon this, remarked: "Absolutely,
a man can't appreciate what that is till he gees
te see It."
In the slceplug room the govorner walked
evor te ene or the beds and turned up the
clothing. He found the sheets and bolsters
dirty and foul-smelllng. The superintendent
said the sheets were changed ence in two
weeks. A sheet and bolster selected at random
wero taken away, the superintendent protest
ing ; but Governer Pattlsen said he would be
responsible for them. Then the window was
raised and the half-sick party get seme fresh
air. "Why, sheet and bolsters In that con
dition wouldn't be put en any bed iu any
prison," said the attorney general.
In a room by the lavatory was kept the
cast-off clothing of the boys, hung upon pegs
since the charges w ere made. The condition
or this clothing Is simply Indescribable.
Tern, ragged, dirty and foul, the whele let
of pieces loekod as if they had serveil terms
as "scarecrows" and were awaiting further
service lu that direction.
Tlie boys were at play, dressed in what
wero their Sunday clothes three weeks age.
Their new Sunday clothes, which should
have been distributed en December 1, did
net arrive until yesterday. The investigat
ing party went among the boys en the play
ground and found that net ene of them had
en undergarments. One lanie llttle fellow
smiled as the govorner reached down and
ielt his scant leg covering. Their clethes
they said, wero the same weight In winter
aud In summer, and seme of the boys who
enteied the school lest September said they
had no new clothing issued te them, but
wero wearing "cast-oils" A few el the
boys had no regulation caps but wero peles
On Inspecting tlie water-closets they were
found Hlthy, although an attempt had been
made te keep the stench down with lime.
Iu the primary school flfty bright llttle
bes and girls wero found huddled together
at desks, the only ventilation being obtained
through Hve broken panes of glass. In fhe
ether rooms low benches around the wall
comprised the entire furniture.
It was also found that, whiten few woeks
age thore were ST beds ler ISO boys, new
there are Kl beds for 1SI boys, or 1 bed for
every 2 boys.
In the sick room the party found a boy In
charge of the infirmary, who attended te the
sick In the absence of a physician. There
was a smell of carbolic acid In the room, but
the oxistenco of carbolic acid was denled until
a pet of it was found en a bureau.
Attorney General Cessldy noticed that a
large nuuilier of the boys had sero eyes aud
he asked the boys about It. Onoeftheni said
he did net knew what caused it, but that the
doctor didn't see his eyes but the attendant
cared for them. He said that the attendant
raw ene et the boys a bettle of eye-water and
10 drepped it into tlielr eyes, and In turn ene
et the ether boys dropped the wash Inte the
eyes of the boy who had charge of the bottle.
He also -said that the nurse-bey had charge of
the medicine and handed It out when It was
necessary.
The girls' dormitories were lnspected, and
it was found that there is mere room new
than there was seme weeks age. Sema of
tlie pupils sleep in a llttle house across the
way Irem the school.
The party then Inspected the boys' bath
room, which is about ten feet square, con
taining a boiler for het water ami a tub about
eighteen inches wide by Hve feet long.
Superintendent Sherman said that eight
boys wero allowed in at a time, and the ISO
boys were allow ed ten tow els. They go in
according te size.
The govorner was asked If he had found
the Jtecenl's charges te be exaggerated.
"Ne, sir; I did net," said the governor.
"There was net a particle et exaggeration in
the Ilceertl's account- fone whatever."
