iFrrcru. telegojlu to the dispatch.1
Philadelphia, Jan. 27. Among the
last items of business agreed upon by tbe
Legislature before adjournment two years
ago was tbe appointment of a State Com
mission for the purpose of inquiry and in
vestigation into the various systems of man
agement governing tbe charitable and penal
institutions of Pennsylvania, where State
aid is part of the support. Tbe members of
lite commission are John E. Keyburn,
Amos H. Mylin, "William McAleer.E. K.
TJearden, James L. Graham, James W.
"Walk and A. A. Clay, and Mr. Keyburn
v:is elected President of the commission.
Every muoer has been given a definite
share in the multitude of duties that opened
tip from the start and the task has been
found to be much greater than had been
anticipated. Congressman Keyburn said to
day at the Continental, where he
met some friends as a sort of
after Christmas holiday diveision, that the
report of the commission was not ready as
et for publication or submission to the
Legislature, but the recommendations and
suggestions inspired by the common ef
fort of the commissioners were about ready
for embodiment in the proper papers, and
would be prepared early in the new year.
System of Solitary Confinement.
About the first move of the commission was
the election nt an inspector or special agent
to vis.t the state asylums, penitentiaries, re
formatories and public institutions. The
duty was delegated to Allen J. AVagenhorst,
ot Scranton. A feature of his report bears
iipon the employment of convict labor, and
comments in severe terms on the system of
solitary confinement that prevails in the
Eastern Pemtentiarv. The investigation of
the commission shows the members united
and decidedly against solitary confinement
for any long period. Mr. Eeyburn does not
believe that it was ever the intention to
subject long-term prisoners to this awful
punishment, but the commission found
that the wordinc of the law indicates soli
tarv confinement as tbe strict interpretation
of the act, even where it relates to such in
mates as Shellenberger, the Bucks county
embezzler whose sentence covers the next
21 years, and Ted linmmier. the Lancaster
embezzler, who is there for 17 years.
A special study was made of the employ
ment ot convict labor, especially as it was
lound throughout Virginia, North Carolina,
Georgia and Mississippi. There is no hesi
tation in condemning it where such labor
cute f into competition with any considera
ble amount o other labor, but the report of
the commission finds much evidence to rec
ommend tbe employment of such labor on
State work, particularly in connection with
the much dgitated question of road building
and repairs.
Convicts on the Roads.
It is found that in the Southern States
Visited the State roads were maintained and
kept in good condition by this law. Chronic
violators of the law and old-timers are to be
kept indoors nt labor and their work goes
to the support ol those on duty inside.
This plan also relieves prisoners from the
evils and vitiating influence ot association,
and the Commissioners believe it to be salu
tary prison reform.
A close and careful examination has been
made into tbe management of various State
institutions, like the soldiers' orphans'
schools, the asylums for tbe insane, the hos
pitals benefited by State appropriations, the
blind and dumb asylums aud the reforma
tories. Tbe report embodies recommenda
tions of reform in this part of the system.
The commission had before it statistics
taken from pamphlet laws passed in the last
decade showing that the State has appro
priated in various snms $40,000,000 to 550,
000,000 to blind and deaf asylums, hospitals
and other institutions, in the distribution
and use of which tbe State has had no
voice.
To Keep Track of Expenditures.
The public treasury has been literally a
public grab bag and beyond the record of
the law and warrant of allowance there has
been nothing done. The commission finds
that the management of these institutions
consists of boards of managers and directors,
the only qualification for membership being
a small annual subscription, in some cases
amounting to $3 only. The report recom
mends that the State" shall make provision
by act of Legislature for an inspector or
board of inspectors, who shall be represented
in every governing bodv of the institutions
receiving State aid and who shall give an
annual statement on the expenditures of
every such institution.
This plan places a reasonable degree of re
sponsibility on the boards. Under tbe
present system it is always difficult and in
some instances impossible to ascertain the
disposition of appropriations made by the
Legislature. This is not the case at asylums
for the insane like Dixmout, Warren, Har
risburg, Danville and Norristown, nor in
the case of soldiers' orphan schools,retorma
tories or the penitentiaries, where annual
reports submit almost every matter to proper
inspection; but abuses at tbe blind asylum
in this city aud irregularities in others show
tbe need for State inspection and constant
vigilance.
Slust Have a Head.
The commission will recommend a plan
to secure some uniform system of accounts
by compulsory statements showing what be
comes of every dollar of tbe appropriations.
The main idea of the Commissioners as nar
rated in their coming report is to have a
definite head and a defined responsibility at
taching to all institutions and this head is
to be held to strict account for all funds and
aid given by the State. The members of
the commission believe that their work has
really begun. It is complicated, intricate
and trying, far beyond any expectation had
in the beginning and they have labored
earnestly to cover a great deal of ground.
The report touches caustically and at
length on abuses in certain public institu
tions, particularly the blind asylum in this
citv, but the nature of the recommendations
is kept a secret.

Fort Wayne Factories Will bo Deprived of
It for a Season.
ITobt Watne, Ind., Dec. 27. Consid
erable apprehension for tbe continuance of
the hitherto abundant supply of natural gas
has followed the announcementby President
Paul that after January 1, tbe railroad
shops and all manufacturing establishments
will be expected to resume the consumption
of coal. Gas has been denied to the local
electric light power station for several
weeks.
CSKevlewing the situation to-day. President
Paul stated that the economical order was
promulgated, not because ot any expected
failure of gas supply, but becnuse it was
feared that the amount the big 40 mile main
could deliver to this city would be so largely
used by manufacturers that private con
sumers might suffer. A second and larger
main will be laid to the gas .fields this
spring.
A PHANTOM FLEET.
One Hundred Boats Lost In St, Mary's Bay
Still Sail Its Waters.
New York Tribune. 2
The legend of the spectral fishing fleet of
St. Mary's Bay is of more modern ori
gin. In 1862 a fishing fleet, homeward
bound from the Grand Banks, was driven
by stress of weather into SL Mary's Bay.
The storm increased in fury, and 100 boats
went down en that August day In the
storm-tossed waters.
There are now hundreds of fishermen
ready to swear that ever since, when they
havefsought shelter in fog and storm in St.
Mary's Bav, they have caught glimpses of a
phantom fleet, heard the flapping of the
sails and the shouting of the sailors when no
fleet was there. This may be accounted for
by the fog, which nearly always hangs
about the bay, for any one who has sailed in
a foe knows that he can see and hear almost
anything he pleases in it.

A Man in Tennessee Earns a living as Copy
ist, Though 110 Tears Old.
Correspondence Globe-Democrat. J
Fred Walker, aeed'll9 years, is undoubt
edly the oldest man in West Tennessee.
He lives at Savannah. The writer, while
in that city, called upon the old gen
tleman to learn something of his
career. Mr. "Walker stated that he
had voted for every President of the United
States from Thomas Jefferson down to the
last Presidental election, and he confidently
expects to be on decK to cast bis ballot in
1892. Strangeas it may appear, Mr. Walker
makes his living by copying for the County
Court Clerk of McNairy county, which
proves that his sight is good. Mr. Walker's
motto always has been: "There is no bread
for idlers."
HOW COFFEE WOEKS.
In Some Cases It is Apparently a Food, in
Others a Poison.
The Epoch.3
"I drink," remarked a gentleman to me
recently, ''four or five cups of coffee daily.
If I stop drinking coffee I get a headache."
Another gentleman of my acquaintance,
on the other hand, gets a racking neuralgic
headache every time he takes even a very
small quantity of coffee, and a Bostonian
who became blind, a film having formed be
fore his eyes, found that hfs sight was re
stored when he stopped drinking coffee.

"Washington, Dec 27. Very few peo-
pie outside of the Farmers' Alliance are
aware of the fast that that order has an Al

local membership is not large, for the num
ber of farmers in the district is necessarily
small, and as a fact there would be no or
ganization in Washington were it not for
the fact that many National Alliance offi
cers are located here.
This part of the great agricultural camp
is known as Capital Alliance No. 22, and is

State of Maryland. Farmers, farm labor
ers, country mechanics, country physicians
and country preachers alone are eligible,
and these must all be men of good moral
character. Infidels, merchants, lawyers and
all persons connected with or employed by

HODENE. It is perfectly pure, free from all injurious substances, and so
simple any one can use it. It acts mildly but surely, and you will be sur

hair disappears as if by magic. It has no resemblance whateter to any
other preparation erer ued for a like purpose, and no scientific discoxery
erer attained such wonderful results. IT CANNOT FA1X- If the
growth be light, one application will remore it permanently; the heavy
growth such as the beard or hair on moles may require two or more appli
