VICE PRESIDENT ADLAI E. tTEVESSOB. Eure'y nothing is more impressive than the Woo which the great historical pageant of to-day teaches. Ciude as to details, ridi culously inadequate in many of its features, it cannot fail to stimulate in every good citi itn a feeling of honest pride in the institu tions of his country, arid reawaken his con science to a full realization of the duties and obligations he owes as a member of society and the body politic. Thousands t,f Presi deut Cleveland's frienJs to-night throng the streets in company with those who followed tlje fortunes of Lis predtjeessor, and differ from tLciu in political fid:h, ail proudly conscious ot niViug wilmssed a jpta; evenv which records the peaceful transft-rof a pow er s jch as few rulers have wielded in the jiast aad now exercise to-dcy.

Happy if, like General Harri son, he can leave the White Houe at the end of his terra without other claim of re ward than that which the consciousness of duty well performed aud trust faithfully dis-ci-arged may give. ISAliA ATI .X ASD THE WEATHER. The success or failure of an inauguration depends ainiost entirely upon the weather. There had been beard a good deal within the last few weeks about what his friends call Clevelsnd luck." They predicted with great earnestness that the weather of to-day would e-jual if not surpass "lhat,of eight years ago, when, amid surroundings suggestive of ilsy rather than March, Mr. Cleveland took the oath of office. They had apparency come to look upon Cleveland in this regard as a second Van Buren. It was to tbis dis tinguished prtdeCrssor of PresMent Cleve land, it will be remembered, that Henry Ciay ventured lo make the rather original remark while the electoral vote wa being counted in the House of Representatives : "It's cold, sir." 'Ttie sun will shine on the Fourth of March, sir," senteutiously replied Van Buren, and it did. Whether President Cleveland looked for ward to his second inauguration with equal confidence is not known. If he did he must have felt grievousiy disappointed, for a worse morning never dawned. Big, wet snow flakes obscured the atmosphere and made it d.tlicult to distinguish ohjects at a distance greater than a city square. Under foot it was woise yet. Slush and sleet struggled for supremacy with the fast falling snow, and to ad J to the discomfort a strong and cold wind was blowing. As the morning wore on it became positively uaiigerous to walk on accouul of the blipery condition of the streets. But those who suffered most must have been the venerable Justices of the Supreme Court, the many ancient members of the Di plomatic Corps and the numbers of dis tinguished guests, men and Women advanc ed in yearsand fethlein health, who were forced, in the biting blast of a March wind that swept without mercy around the cor ners of the Capitol and across the broad I'lwi ia front, to listen to the President's in augural address aud w lines the ceremony of takir.g the oath. In the early afternoon, it is true, the snow Hurries ceased but the wind grew steadily ia energy aud fi'.fulntsj. The sun tried hard toward 4 o'clock to pierce the mist and gloom, but with little success. Ol'TDOOK EXKSCIsES A DISMAL FULl RE. For all purposes of enjoyment except lo those who had been fortunate enough to secure seats in windows fronting upon Pecn sylvauia avenue the outdoor exercises of the day proved a dl'inal failure. The du!y of Congress to act seems plain, or else it wiil become necessary to change the character of the exercises by restricting them to the Senate Chamber. But who will be the first President to decree that change ? It.cannot be said that the ceremonies to-day uilTcred, barring the weather, in any material point from those which have prececded. The exerciics in the Senate are conducted on rules snction by tradition and followed with naive d.srcjrj of the limitations of time and spsse. The ceremony of administering the oa!h to the President is varied, it Bem, ac cordiiig to the predilections of the chief act or in the event It is sometimes administer ed before the delivery of the inaugural ad dress; s metimcs af'.er the reading. President Cleveland took the oath to-day as he did eight years ago, af:?r delivering his inaugural address. President Harrison look the oath of oili.-e first and then read his ad dress, a proceeding which would seem to be jostitifd ia viewer th; fact that the inaugu ral is not generally regarded as the expres sion of op'uion on the part of a private citi zen, but of the President ; and the transfor mation from private citizen into President is not effected until after the oa'.h has been admiiiis'ered. William Henry Harrison de vited the compromise under which he took the osth ia the midst of delivering his in augural address, finishing tbe ceremony with reading the cele'oraei peroration which, according to Webster, bal beo tbe cause of bis sitting np the night previous en gaged in tbe slaughter of Roman procon suls. X ne parade was wnat all parades are seemingly endless to be me.-used only by tbe patience oi Loose wno loot on. It is true that there was a suspicion lurking in the minds of some that Cleveland would drag Tammany along in tbe line of march, bound to his carriage, as Achilles drarged the body of Hector around the walls of Troy. Tbe rumor proved to be unfounded, however. Tammany was o t drasd. At last accounts, wuen not resting witn i:s claws on the dome of tbe Capitol and its tail twisted around tbe base of the Washington Monument it was cheering lastily and marching tbe best it knew bow. If any of its "hip, hip, hurrahs" stuck in its throat like Macbeth's amen, it was doe, no doubt, to the wet atmofpbere, and not to any lack of enthusiasm, hi: tied or otherwise. President Cleveland, as be did eight years ago, delivered bis inangaral address to-day without the aid of notes ft that has been attempted only by one of his pre le?e sors. Pierce. He followed, word lor word, the copy furnished beforehand to the press aisocia'.ioc?, omitting nothirg.adding noth ing. The delivery was mamed by the at-n-.ost self-possission. Tbe President's voUe ccnla be distinctly heard at a distance of TOO yards, not withstic ling the bia'U wind that wst blowing at the Lima. He stood uncov ered !h most of the time, one of his un gloved bands holding his Lai, theoiber res: ing easily in tbe ptcktt t f Lis overcoat. A faint smile of relief seemed Lo over spread bis features as be finished and caught a glimpse of his wife, who quickly slipped forward and spoke lo him. In another min ce be was making his way toward th broniee doors of tbe capilol arm in arm with ex-President Harrison. The ball at ti e Pension Building to-night closed t-e day's ceremonial with befitting gsyeiy, if not ith absolote social brill iance. Tbis quadrennial function seems to be gaining each Presidential term in popu lar favor and more general interest what it loses in social and official exclusiveness. The inaugural ball, like all other details of tbe ceremony of inauguration, has felt the influence of the irresistible tendency toward popularization which now marks all public functions at theCspi'al. Pennsylvania's Casrr. State Treasurer Morrison has issued a state men t estimating the revennes of Pennsyl vania for 1893 and the expenses for tbe earns year.

The last meeting of President Harrison's Cabinet took place at the usual hour to day. All of the mem bers were present, and at the conclusion of one half an boar's conference the President arose, and in a few words bade tbem good bye. He thanked them for the loyal support they had always given him, and attributed much of the success of his Administration to their wise counsels, faithful service, and devotion to theouatry's highest good. He thanked thera for the personal good will they bore hira, and wished for each one happiness and success in all thsir under takings. He then shook hands with each in turn, and, in a voice which betrayed emo titn, bfcile them good bye. Ex-Governor Cray, of Indiana, Cets the Mexican Mission. Chicago. March 3.

FRED C WELLER, Attest. ! WILLIAM DICKEY. L. C. Colbobst, ; JUSKfll L. MILLKR, Clerk. J Directors of the Poor In submitting this annual report the Di rectors herewith give a short history of the Home, believing that it will be of interest to the citizens. Tbe House of E aployment of Somerset County was incorporate! by Act of Assem bly approved I3:a April, IS I J. Toe bill for iacorpjraunz, it into a la was drawn by Hju. Isaac Hugos, and was presented an J advocated before the legislature by Hon. John R.Elie, wbo was the memSer from this county. Both of tb.se gentlemen have sine passed to their fiaal rest. The com missioners named in the bill to select a site and purchase a suitable farm were George Vlaiker, Samuel Miller, John Hanna, Pater Pctman, David Ltvaa, John Hoffman. Bjn- jam n K mm el, George ChorpeaoJur and Joseph Miller. Ttie Act of 13.h March, 13W, extended th titn? for the establishing of the Home for one year. Tae sluciioa iubmitun-tb? ques tion to the people whether they wanted to erect a Hon of Exployiaeut or not was j held on the 14th day or October, 1345 and C irried by a small majority of tbe voters of the County. The present poor turn was selected aud purchased by tbe commission ers named from Gorge Coorpening at $7. 500. In the tall of ISIS the H rase of K o ploymeut was opened and all persons sup ported and maintained by the township under the overseer system were orlered to be brought to tbe Home. At tbe general election beid the 13.b day of October, 1S4C, Absalom Castbtwr, Joseph Imhoff and Benjamin Kimme! were elected Directors of tbe Poor; who, according to tbe Act of Assembly, met on tbe 2d day of November, 1S4G, at the Court House and drew lots as to the term each was to serve, resulting in Absalom Casebeer drawing the one year term, Joseph ImhofT the two year term, and Benjamin Kimmel the three year term. The first meeting of the Directors was held on the 9 J) day of January, 1817. David Smith was appointed tbe first steward of the Home and served until 1st of April. 1351, when be was succeeded by Perry Walker, wbo served until the 1st of April, 1353, when be was elected Sheriff of tbe County. The Directors were succeeded by Joseph Chor penning, vice Alaalom Casebeer resigned ; Henry Frank, Samuel Will, John Lichty, Jacob Ankeny, Jacob Kooatz, Henry J. Heiple, Jacob Walter, Joseph Ferner, Wil liam Will, John Suder, George Zimmermsn, David Ankeny, John Cupp, George Cobaugh and others, each serving three years, in the order named. The first Treasurer appointed for the Home was M. A. Banner, who served for fifteen years, most of the time gratuitously. The regular meetings of the Board ware fixed on the first day of each month, which has been adhered to ever a.uce. The main brick building was ere: ted in 1359 by John Mong, Esq., aad cost $3,tKK 00. It is an elegant structure, well built and to day is in go-id condition and well adapted for the purposes for which it was built. Thus we see at an early period in the his tory of the County provision was made for her poor and .destitute. From the earlies period of which history was known the in junction was to care fir the poor. The blessed Master when sojourning among men left an injunction as to duly which male so clear, so imperative, as to be the final and absolute test of character, "Care for the hungered, the thirsty, thestrauger, the nak ed, the sick, tbe prisoner." All christian people and governments since have recogniz ed this vital duty and witn more or less fidelity aud success have provided for its performance. In the days of the apostles they made a voluntary d. vision of property and kept a common stock, distributed "as every man had neei." Later on there were Dorcas Societies organized for clothing the poor. Monasteries were built where poor and orphaned children were carefully reared and where the sick were lovingingly attend ed. Up until the reiga of Henry VIII the poor of Englacd were entirely cared for by the char ty of benevolent christians. During his reign statutes were made alfordiug com pulsory mettiods providinK lor the poor and impotent. Our system of three Directors and manner of caring for tbe poor ba been modeled after the English plan. Pennsylvania was the first of the colonies to make provision by statute for the care of her poor and so much interest have the citi zens manifested in the welfare of the desti tute and alHicted, that so perfect Is ber sys tem and so grand and generoui are the pro visions of ber laws that to-day our grand old Commonwealth stands first of ail the States in benevolent and charitable iasutd tions. As early as 7th Docember, 1SS2, the As sembly nndcr William Pen a parsed a law providing for the poor, the w.dow and the orphan. Tbe Act of Assembly parsed in 1G93, provided that a public stock to defray the necessary charges in each county be kept on band, and empowered justices, in emer gency, to disburse money for relief. Tbe Constitution of 1790 ordered the Leg- ialatnre to provide by law theestablishing of schools in snch manner that the poor may be iaaght gratis, which was recognized in the law of relief by Governor VlcKean and put in practical operation 1st March, 1-C2. Nothing need be added to this to show that the men wbo made such laws were in fused by tbe parable of tbe Good Samaritan and the half dead Jew, and in answering perfectly for all people the Lawyer's ques tion: Who is my neighbor?" We realize that the same question and answer comes ringing down through the ages of tbe past and is as expressive of duty to the poor as it was when spoken. The office of Director of the po r is purely a duty of love, besides being an onerous and responsible one. They are the guardians of our eleemosynary institutions and upon them rests the responsibility of making tbis department of government respectable and successful. We would, therefore, ask of the generous public to spare unjjst criticism before a careful investigation ; too often are our pub lic institutions brought into disrespect by the hasty and sometimes malicious complaints of disorderly, abscoading and discharged in mates, and wbo are not among tbe deserv ing poor, but who come to the Home through indolence and are the subjects of deceitful, vicious and dissipated habits, un grateful of the generous provisions the peo ple have tnide for them. The majority and who are "God's dnerving poor" are grate ful for the Home prepared for them and ap preciate the grest and grand provisions the law has prepared for tbem. The public sentiment and sympathy have changed very radically towards the poor. There was a time when the sentiment "Huitle bis bones over tbe stones. For he Is onlj a pauper that no one owns." voiced the sentiment of the public, but we are happy to say that in tbis dsy the sym pathy of the people are averse to any senti ment like this, and instead, com -s the in junction to us, " take care of the poor," with tbe admonition too " Speak gently, kindly of the poor. Let no harsh term be heard, Tiiey havs enough they must endure Without an unkind war ." It has been our aim to mak it as com fortable for these deserving poor as is possi ble without being extravagant, and are pleased to know that oar acts have been ap proved by tbe citizens, many of whom are among the heaviest lax payers The past year has been a successful one at tbe Horns. While nothing his happened out of the ordinary routine, we have great reason to be thankful that neither Pestilence, contagious disease or accident were visited upon tbe inmates. Oar people look with pride upon the Poor House and rejoice over the fart that our County has advanced be yond many of tbe adjoiuing and other Co in ties in the care of ber poor. The record of visits to the Home show that many of the prominent citizens have visited it during tbe year which ia an evidence of the interest they have in the success of it. Tke Secretary and General Agent of the Board of Public Charities Hon. Cadwalader Biddle, paid the Homes very high compli ment in a recent re port of his visit, in which be said : "Somerset County has progressed more in the care of ber poor, and theAlmi House is better managed and presents a better appearance than ever known before, she now ranks among tbe foremost Counties of tLe rural districts.1 Whiie H. L. Baer and J. O. Kimmel, Esq's , ( who constitute the visit ing committee of tbe Board of Public Chari ties) have made flattering reports as to the management of the Home. FASH.

During t ie yiar the wing of the main building was r.- modeled by tbe taxing oat of the small windows and replacing ibeoj with large win dows so as to conform with the balance of tbe building, also, the building of a covered portcb ia the rear, thui givicg more light to tbe rooms, taking away the appearance of a jil or ssiyluro, and making it more pleasant and comfortable for those occupying it, A new picket fence was built along the entire front and side of the yard inclosing tbe build ings A new corn crib was. erected, an im plement shed, a large chicken house, and tramp bouse were built, which were badly needed and were all recommended by the grand jury on their visitation to the Home. They are well built and well adapted for the purposes for which they were erected. Dur ing the drought of the pas year the water supply entirely failed. Tbeqaestion of wat er ba been one of constant annyance for many years. We contracted wiib tbe Con fluence Drilling Company lo put down a well and erect a Wind Engine. They suc ceeded in getting a never failing flow of wat er at a depth of eighty-seven feet. A reser voir was built with a capacity of holding sixty to eighty barrels of water, withpiia leading from it to the various buildings. So great ia the st ream of water that on a teat one hundred barrels were taken out In less than tea hours with no visible decrease of water in the well. The Wind Engine is of tbe im proved " star wheel" aad does its work well and furnishes an ahnndant supply of water. On the recommendation of several grand juries, also of the Board of Public Charities, we placed in the Home a steam beater, which heats the entire main brick and white frame buildings. The contract was awarded to P. A. 8cbell, and tbe work was done by Trimble & Lutz, of Wheeling, West Va. The boiier ia the most improved sectional boiler, the plantis the most complete of any in theCounty; every department, save one, du:i:ig the Severe cold weather of January was heated to a temperature of from 70 to 60 degrees with from eight to twelve pounds of steam.

It is really a comfort to the inmates, lessens the the risk of lire and will be a saving of fuel This improvement is one that has long been needed and adds more to the pleasure of the Heme than anything that has been placed there for J ears. Prior to the first of December the Home was in darkness and the fear of fire was so great that it was not prudent to supply the inmates with lamps, so they were compelled to sit in darkness. When the Somerset Elec tric Light plant was built, at a meeting of the Directors, some thirty citizens appeared before us and urged the taking of the light for the Home. After bearing the many argu ments and upon consideration we contracted for the light. Every building including the stables is lighted. Tbe pleasure it alfords the inmates only can be appreciated by see ing it. It is nsed both in the evenings and morning. The lights in the balls and hos pital rooms burn all night. And now in stead of the inmates, many of whom are old, maimed and decrepid, groping their way through the bails, uo and down stairs, stumbling and falling over objects, in going to bed and getting np in the dark, they can see and get there without any discomfort, the cost of which is but three cents to each of the taxables to maintain the same, the com pany having put in the light at their own expense. We believe our action in this mat- terafier seeing the beueiit from it wili be approved by all. IM MATES. Tnere were aa aveiae of seventy-four in mates in the Home during the yea-, most of whom havejbeen there for years aud ap preciate the privileges and comforts granted to them. The averajre cost per Week for maintenance for the past year, as.de from the cost for improvameata, was $1 CIIILDBEX. Since the passage of the Act cf Assembly approved 13th June, 1SS3, no children are permitted lo be kept at tbe Home between the aes of two and aixleen years, excej maimed, deformed, or unreachable idiota, for a longer period than sixty days. We cannot esiiaiate too highly this law. Victor Hugo nys "One-half of the vagabondage of tbe world comes from neglected children Neglected childreu are to be feared not be cause of the childish attempts at evil ; rather because tbe child being father to the man. bears in maturity tbe fru'ts of seeds sown in early training. Children are coming to tbe Poor House almost daily, the progeny of uiifrodiy human natures, results of vice, protl gacy, difsittion and lack of self con trol. Tbey are " God's poor," and bile we recogaiM beneath the seeds of theee vices the embryo citizen, when their better nature s cuilivaud, the law of heredity overcome by education, the baster tendency wiil die for want of nourishment. In all caies has been our greatest effort to find good homes for all children commi'ted to the Poor House so that tbey moy have the ad vantage of c'unstian homes and training, and schooling. Tbe orzanizition of the Children's Aid Society will be of great aid and service to the Directors in finding and placing children in good bomes. "Heaven has given the prior right to women to direct ihj course of children," aad we feel satisfied that when they place a child in a homes careful investigation was made before it was placed there and that it aill be jaalotisly looked after. Hereafter all children willte plauud in their care for disposal. EELIGIOl'S SERVICES. During the year there was held regular religious services.al the. Home by the Chap lain aud several times by Rev. Domer; also. services held at each funeral. We fear the zsal and en irt of various missionary socie ties in foreign lauds Lave so occupied their minds that they have eutirely forgotten there are many at tbe Home wbo are "hungering aud thirsty for the bread of life." It is a la mentable fict that a great majority of the in mates of the various Homes in the State have never heard the " old, old story" and know not Christ. SCHEDULE " A.
