Tho Tribune, too, is entitled to commendation for Its ac curate and comprehensive rcporta of tho sessions and its uniform cour tesy to the officers and members of tlio association. Yours liuly, James W, Walk, President. Scranton, Oct. 13, 1S07. Tho Association of tho Directors of tho Poor and Charities of Pennsylvania held a morning and afternoon session yesterday and at tho latter session con cluded all matters of business nnd ad journed to meet at Harrteburar next year. Last ovenlng was devoted to Higlit-soeing and not until lato this af ternoon will the majority of tho dele Kates leave the city as aiiout ICO of them h'avc signified their intention of inspecting tho Hlllsldo Homo today. The morning session at 9 o'clock l pan with the discussion of question box queries. Tho repot t of tho committee on legis lation was prcsentrd by Its chairman, Hon. E. P. Gould, of Erie county. Ho review-art the course of the so-callod "New Poor-Law" up to its veto by Covcrnor Hastings and deplored tho necessity of poor districts and charity institutions liavinc to act under old nnd conflicting laws. Ho said relief could at. present bo only obtained through local or special bills. rtECOMMENDATIONS. The committee presented these rec ommendations, which' under a rule, went to committee: First That this association eneourago nnd assist tho people In tliu various coun ties w-hero now tho township districts and tho overseer system prevail; to tako tho necessary bteps to havo submitted to tho voters tlio question of adopting tho county district plan with almshouses by furnish ing statistics showing that It la far more economic to tho taxpayers and a moro hu mnno, civilized and Chilstlan-like method of caring for tho dependent class. Second That tho commltteo on legisla tion bo instructed to proparo a bill incor porating tho general provisions or tho poor board bill hcretoforo adoptod by this nreoelatlon and herotoforo referred to, es pecially thoso provisions which relate to ho settlement of paupers; thoso liable for their support; tho legal proceedings gov erning contests between poor districts to dctermlno tho liability to support pau pers and enforce tho Judgments and tho decrees of the courts relating to tho samo; nnd tho powers of poor law otneers to tnko possession of tho property of a poor per son who becomes a public charge, nnd tho legal steps tequlrcd to bo taken to invest said oillcera with tho legal control of such property. Bald bill to bo sub mitted to tho next convention of this asso ciation for Its approval. Respectfully sub. mltted, E. P. Gould, Chairman. Captain Lawrence, superintendent of the Philadelphia almshouse, criticized home of tho papers as being of a nature foielgn to the association, tho senti ments being moro appropriate for con sideration by religious and educational bodies. The safeguard against the presentation of such papers appeared in a recommendation of the resolutions committee during the afternoon ses sion, as did tho question of a confer ence with the State Association of County Commissioners, concerning a new poor law, as suggested during tho morning by Mr. Gould. A paper by Miss M. M. Walk, of Philadelphia, on "Almshouse Children In Chnrltable Institutions," was read by her brother. President Walk. Tho paper showed the evil effects of rear ing a child In an almshouse, and cre ated no little discussion. AFTERNOON SESSION. The afternoon session began with the presentation of brief reports as fol lows: York county, Robert Hoyd, stew ard ; Delaware county, William Eves, steward; Central Luzerne district, S. W. Davenport, secretary; Lancaster county, J. N. Groff; Clearfield county, D. It. Woolwich; Plttston borough and township nnd Jenkins township, James Jones; Allegheny City, John Hender son; Germantown, Philadelphia, Dr. D, E. Hughes; Children's Aid society, Somerset county, L. C. Colborn; Chil dren's Aid society of Pennsylvania, E. Kerr, superintendent. During tho discussion of tho papers Secretary Davenport, of tho Central Luzemo district, deplored tho neces sity of lodging tho Insano In tho Lu zerne county Jail until such time as their admission to the Danville or other asylums could be secured. Ho referred to tho effort made to secure a. stato appropriation for an asylum for tho northeastern section of tho state. Tho matter wns twice placed in the hands of tho appropriations committee of tho legislature, but was never reported in the nppropilatlon bills. Tho Central Luzerno district report was as follows: EXPENDITURES AT ALMSHOUSES.

But ler, physician; D. L. O'Neill, attorney. In view of tho constant reports of difficulty In tho placing of county in sano in stato Institutions, the grcnt cost, traveling expenses nnd overctowd Ing of such Institutions, Hon. E. P. Gould, of Erlo county, mado a general recommendation. Ho advocated tho building of county insano asylums nt a coat of sny $00,000 each, capable of containing about 160 Inmates. Then in stead of paying $1.75 to tho state, tho latter pays $1.E0 to tho county per week for each Inmate, a difference of $3.25 in favor of tho county. MR. M'GONNIGLE A1UUVES. Corresponding Secretary R. D. Mc Gonnlgle, of Pittsburg, tho father of the stato association, reached the city early in the afternoon and was greeted with applauso as ho entered tho hall, and was called to tho platform. Tho report of tho commltteo on offi cers was made as follows: For president, John F. Scragg. Scranton; for vlco presidents, II. W. Ochso, Alle gheny City; James Moore, Johnstown; John L. Smith, Chester county: Miss Mad eline Lo Moyno, Washington; J. O. Yost, Franklin county; C. F. Hummcll, Hairls burg; Dr. D. B. Hughes, aermantown. For bocrotnry, W. P. Hunker, Allegheny City; for col responding recrctary, K. D. MeGonnlgle, Pittsburg; for treasurer, L. C. Colborn, Somerset. Tho officers were elected according to the committee's recommendations. The committee on next place of meet ing reported through the chairman, P. II. Brydenbaugh, Blair county, Its In ability to agree. Harriburg, Cham bersburg nnd OH City had been sug gested to the committee. The report was recclwd. Chairman r.rydonbaugh said that Harrlsburg had been gener ally favored by the committee and members but that the delegates from that city and Dauphin county had not extended an Invitation nor did thy want tho convention held there. Mr. Brydenl nugh was however, in favor of Harrlsburg, although President Walk relinquished tho chair to debate against choosing a city that had not extended nn invitation. Ho called for nomina tions of other cities. Nono wero mado nnd Harrlsburg was chosen by a near ly unanimous viva voce vote on motion of Mr. MeGonnlgle and Dr. Hughes, the date being left to ths decision of tho committee and President-cleat Scragg. II. F. Detweller, of Unlotitown, chalr man.prcsonted the icport of thu finance and auditing committee, which was adopted and contained tho following: Total amount received by Treas urer L. C. Colborn from districts and societies $703 00 Disbursements 712 US Balanco duo treasurer $ 7 LS Wo report that wo havo considered tho amount necessary to defray tho expenses of next year and would recommend tint assessments bo levied as follows for tho following year: Poor districts composed of counties and cities, $13; town nnd bor ough districts, $5; Children's Aid nn 1 other charltlablo societies nnd Institutions, In cluding hospitals, $5; Eastern and West ern Aid pocietlc-s, $20; department of ehailtles and of charities nnd convention, ?2uj hos-pltals for inline and Institutions for feeble-minded, $13. "The Practicability of Helping tho Poor to Help Themselves," a paper by J. S. Strlne, of Lancaster county, was read by J. N. Goff, of the same county. The author advocated the employment of almshouse inmates and the provid ing of labor for them wherever pos sible. THE PINGP.EE PLAN. Nathaniel P. Crenshaw, one of the managers of tho Philadelphia commit tee on tho cultivation of vacant lots, was to havo read a paper on "The Plngreo Potato Patch Plan as a Means of Helping tho Poor." He was unable to bo present, but pent his paper by special dellvety. The paper was later leferted for printing, as was a report by Dr. J. Morehend Muidoek, of Ve nango county, on "Tho Institution for tho Feeble Minded, at Polk, Venango County." In placo of the latter, a paper on "Iteclproclty Between Coun ties" was read by Attorney Edward E. Long, of Norrlstown. In tho dis cussion of Mr. Long's paper, the "un loading" of transportation applicants by one county or district upon another was deplored. It was the sense of tho discussion that applicants should bo furnished transportation to their an nounced destination or cared for by tho district when tho application is made. A period was devoted to the discus sion of query box questions. "Is There a Stato Institution for Idiots?" was one question. It appeared there was no such Institution, though tho 'Elwyn asylum was particularly for the feeble minded. Between tho feeble-minded and Idiots the stato drew a distinction. Tho latter was an Imbecile and a hope less case und should bo sent to Insano institutions. 'Should tho Correspondence of In mates be Examined?" was answered affirmatively In the case of letters re ceived, and negatively regarding out going letters. The question had been so decided by tho nttorney general of the United States according to the statement of Captain Lawrence, super intendent of the Philadelphia alms house. "Can Unnaturalized Porsons.Inmates of Almshouses, bo Returned to Their Native Land?" wns answered affirma tively, providing an lnniato has not been a charge for over one year. The expense is borno by tho government. A question Involving the cost and wisdom of establishing county insane asylums was answered by Dr. D. E. Hughes, of Germantown. Ho did not approve of such a plan where It was optional with tho counties. Ho ap proved if the plan was carried out on tho Wisconsin iden, ono involving proper supervision by a state depart ment nnd approved regular Inspection. Ho would not recommend tho plan under any consideration, excepting where it applied to counties whoso nverage number of Insano requiring confinement is over 100. IN NEW YORK. Dr. Wulk remarked that Now York had absolutely gono contrary to tho Wisconsin plan by assuming stato con trol of all manner of Insane, tho same as Is being done by Ohio. Tho committee on resolutions pre sented Its report through Captain Law rence, of Philadelphia, chairman. The recommendations were considered seri atum and adopted unanimously an fol- Continued on Pago 3. Smiling Faces Sweet Greetings that Keep tho Home Happy.
