RECORDS AT THE HOME.
Important Work That Devolves on
Clerk John F. Williams His Re
ports Are Models of Neatness
and Conectness.
Few people havo nnv thing like nn
ne cut ale Idea of the manner In which
tho monevs appropriated for tho maln
temnce of the Hillside home is ured.
l'art of .the many duties of Clerk Joint
F. Williams at the home, is to prepare
u repot t fot the state auditor every
three months. The fiscal year of tho
homo ..eglns December 1 and the
port which follows hero Is the thltd
quatterly report for the present fiscal
j car.
This report covers the three months
or thirteen weeks previous to Septem
ber 1. The report is preparcel by Clerk
Williams and Is a model of ncntncs
and perfection, both In penmanship,
detail and accuracy. -Mr. Williams
takusgri-at rnlr with hlsvvoik through
out and frequently tecelvcs letters ot
commendation from the state auditor
and secretary of tho board of public
ehatitles, to whom his reports are sub
mitted. The total receipts of the thirteen
weeks nmount.s to $11,8S4.30. This
amount is derived fiom several sources
ns follws: Fiom payments for care of
private patients. $1,217.90; from tho
Scianton Poor dlstilct, $4,45213; state
nppoitlonment, $6,21103; grand total
$11,SS4.'!0.
Opposite till" tabulation of receipts
Is put the itemized accounts showing
expendltutes. Thete aic probably
twentv-Ilve heeds for pinner clasf1(li.
tlon of the expenditutes. Tho eniiiii
eratlon covets supplies such as food,
t lothlng, coal and medicine, etc. The
food pan covers that which cannot
be piodueed upon the farm attached
to the home. Furnishings, etc. and
salatles for eilllceis, attendants and
hired help nie Included In this cnum
eiallon. This footing in total being
$11,884 30, Including a balance unex
pended, corresponds with the amount
of receipts.
To gain a clear Idea the elatn which
Is also attached to the icnott is hcie
by used In connection. For thlitcen
weekn of maintenance the cost per
week Is $911.17; cost per patient per
week 3 67. Tho Institution must pio
vide $1.73 per patient pel week. Over
and above that, but not to exceed
$2 00, the state prov ides. Thus deduct
ing $173 from $3 66 wc have $1.'U,
which represents excess per patient per
week. The full excess per patient for
thliteen weeks amounts to $24.93 Then
for 219 91-22 patients for thirteen
weeks at $2193 per week, we get $6,214.

noted as due from the state for re

MARRIED SOLDIERS
TO BE DISCHARGED
THOSE HAVING DEPENDENT
FAMILIES MAY COME HOME.
Assurance Has Been Given the Sol
diers' Relief Association That Dis
charges Will Be Granted on Appli
cation by Families Dependent on
Members of the Thirteenth Will
Be Necessary to Have Applications
Endorsed by Clergymen, the Re
lief Association's Secretary.
Assurance has been given to offlcera
of the Soldiers' Relief association that
husbands or other wholu or part sup
ports of families now being aided by
the association will be discharged from
the Thirteenth regiment and their
places filled by recruits. An Intima
tion that something of the kind was
nfoot was given recently by The Trib
une's special ronespondent at Camp
Meade. lie reported the receipt of or
ders providing that the names of all
the married members of the regiment
be forwarded to the war department.
D. H. Atherton, secretary of the Sol
tlleis' Relief association now makes
the statement that the association Is
positively assured by unquestionnble
at(thorlty that the discharges will be
granted. Mr. Atherton said yesterdny
to n Tribune reporter:
"The Tilbune may state that each
family or others who are receiving or
have received uld from this association,
nnd who desire the ellseharge of hus
bands eir others who have been their
support, can now procure the dis
charges. A prescribed course of rou
tine is necessary, however. It Is ic
eiulred that a letter asking for a sol
diers discharge be addressed to tho
secietnry of war, the writer declaring
that she Is a dependant on ehailty.
"It Is necessary to havoisuch a letter
cndorseel by a clergyman, preferably
the writer's pastor, and then by me
ns n witness to the truth of the dec
laration. I am Instructed to send the
letters to Camp Meade for further en
dorsement by tho commander of tho
regiment anel tho captain of the com
pany In which the man whose dis
charge Is sought is a member. The
letters will then be sent to the war de
partment. "No," leplled Secietary Atherton In
nnswer to the reporter's question," I
cannot tell you the source of our posi
tive assurance that the discharges will
be granted. This source Is, however,
authoritative anel I am authorized to
tay thete is no uncertainty about It."
A week ago it was known that the
dischatges would be granted under
certain conditions. It was not known
then, nor Is It now, whether the same
privilege will pievall among regiments
other than the Thirteenth. At tlrst It
was Intended to send someone to Camp
Meade and obtain there the applica
tions and endotsements. But It was
ascertained that the later plan of se
curing the applications ftom tho fam
ilies would be the more feasible.
