that the men who made such laws were in

We reviiie that the same question and
answer comes ringing down through the
ages of the pat and is as expressive of duty
to the poor as it was w hen spoken.
The office of Director of the pojr is pnrelv
a duty of love, besides being an onerous acd

It has been our aim to make it as com

ble without being exlratagant, and are
pleased to know that our acta have been ap
proved by the citirena, many of whom are
among the heaviest tax papers
The past year has been a successful one at
the Horn?. While nothing ha happened
out of the ordinary routine, we bare great
reason to be thankful that neither pestilence,
contagious disease or accident were visited
cpqp the inmates. Our people look with
pride upon the Poor House and rejoice over
the fact that our County has advanced be
yond many of th? adjoining and other Co in
ties in the aire of her poor. The record of
Th-its tothe Home show that many of the
prominent citizens have visited it during the
year which U aa evidence of the interest
they have in the success of it-
The Secretary and General Agent of the
Board of Tublic Charities, Hon. CaJwalader
Biddie, paid the Eomea very high compli
ment in a recent report of his visit, in which
he said: "Somerset County has progress!
more in the care of her poor, and tbe Aims
11 wseis better managed and presents a better
appearance titan ever known before, she now
ra iks among the foremost Counties of the
rural districts' While H. L, Eacr and J.
O. Kimmel, Ej"s , (who constitute the visit
ing committee of the Toard of Public Chari
tiesi have made nattering reports as tothe
management of the Home.
The farm is ia a fine state of cultivation
and is producing well. No more evidence is
needed than to rtfer you to the overflowing
barn, stable and graneries filled with the
choice products. Under the direction of our
c Director Joseph L. Miller, it will soon be
the mode! farm of the County.
STOCK,
The stock on the farm will compare favor
ably with any ia theCounty. It is all in
good condition and show their keeping. The
cows have supplied the Home with milk
and cream and iijirly all of the butler used,
while enough was killoi to furnish beef,
p.jrk and lard for th? winter-to the inmates.
Tue stock is being improved each year by
the importation of more thorough and better
blood. A reference to the Steward's report
wit! yoa the number of each on the
farm.
Bt'ILWSOS ASD IMPROVEMENTS.
The buildings are all in good order and re
pair and present a fine appearance. During
the year the wing of the main building was
re modeled by the taking out of the small
windows and replacing them with large win
dows so as to conform with the balance of
the building also, tne building of a covered
portch in the rear, thus giving more light to
the rooms. Liking away the appearance of a
jail or as-ylum, 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 the build
ing'. A Iltw corn crib was erected, an im
plement shed, a large chicken bouse, and
tramp house were built, w hich were badly
neetled and were all recommtnded by the
grand jury on their visitation to the Home.
They are well built an! well adapted for the
purposes for which they were erected. Dur
ing the drought cfthe past year the water
supply entirely failed. The question of wat
er has been one of constant annoyance for
many years. We contracted with the Con
fluence Drilling Company to put down a
weiland erect a Wind Engine. They suc
ceeded in getting a never failing flow of wat
er at a depth of eighty-seven feet. A rescr
voir was built wit ha capacity of holding
sixty to eighty barrels of water. With pipes
leading from it to the various buildings, to
great ia the stream f water tbat on a test 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 the im
proved " star wheel" and does its work well
and furnishes an abundant supply of water.
On the recommendation of several grand
juries, also of the Board of Tuhlic Charities,
we placed in the Heme a steum heater,
which heats the entire main brick and white
frame buildings. The contract was awarded
to P. A. Schell, aud the work was done by
Trimble &. Lutz, of Whe ling, West Va.
The boiler is the most improved sectional
boiler, the plant is the most otuplcteofany
in theCounty ; every department, save one,
during the severe cold wej'.her of January
was bene 1 to a temperature of from 70 to 60
degrees with from eight to tweive poundsof
steam. There are fifty-seven radiators, tak
ing the place of that number of stoves. It is
really a Cjiufort tothe iuniatcs, lessens the
the risk of Cre and will be a saving of fuel.
Th.s improvement is oue that has long been
needed atid add more to the pleasure of the
Home than anything that has beea placed
there for years.
Prior to the first cf D T.-aibrr the Home
was in darkness aud the fjar of fire wass)
grtat that it as sot prudent to supply the
inmate with hitrj.s, so they were cornpelltd
to sil in datkacss. When the Somerset E!tc
trlc L;ght plant was built, at a meeting of
the Directors, some ihiny citizens appeared
before us and urged tbe taking of the light
for the Home. Alter hearing the many argu
ments and upon consideration wecontracted
for the liLt. Every building including the
stable is lighted. The pleasure it atl'ords
the inmates only can be appreciated by see
ing it. It is used both in the evenings and
mornings. The lights in the halls and hos
pital rooms burn ail night. And now in
stead of the inmate ;, many of whom are eld,
maimed and decrepid, groping their way
through the halls, up and down stairs,
stumbling aud falling over objects, in going
to bed and getting up in tbe dark, they can
see aud get there without any discomfort,
the cost of which is but three cents to each of
the taxables to maiut tin the same, the com
pany having put in the light at their own
expense. We believe our action in this mat
ter after seeing the benefit from it will be
approved fcy bjl
ISM4TES.
There were an average of seventy-four in
mates in the Home during the year, most
of whom haTeJbeen there for years and ap
preciate the privileges and comforts granted
to them. The average cost per week for
maintenance for the past year, aside from tbe
cost fur improvements, was $1.36.
CHILDKEK.
Since the passage cfthe Act of Ascmbly
approved I'tth June, l3, no children are
permitted ta be kept at the Home between
the ages of two and sixteen years, except
maimed, deformed, or unteachah'e idiots, for
a longer period than sixty days. We cannot
estimate too highly this law. Victor Hngo
says "One-half of the vagabondage of tbe
world comes from n. gl -ctrd children."
Neglected children are to be feared not be
cause of the childish attempts at evil ; rather
because the child being father to the man,
tears in maturity the frclts of eeedssown in
early training. Children are coming to tbe
Poor Enuse almost daily, the progeny of
ungoj'y hitman natures, results of vice,
prof! gay. d.s pation and ia-k of self con
trol. Tney are " G hF pjor," and while
m r i . W.,. V. .i , ...

; f,e en.i.'yo cit'x, wkrn tb.ir better nature
is cullivaud. the Uw of Lenity overcome
by education, the baster tendency will die
for want of nourishment. Ia ail cax it
has twen our greatest tffort to find good
homes for all children coramiiteJ to the
Poor HtBi&eso that they may have the ad
vantage of christian homes and training,
and schooling. The organization of the
Children's Aid Society will be of great aid
and sen ice to the Director ia finding and
placing children in good homes. "Heaven
bas given tbe prior right to women to direct
the course of children," and we feel satisfied
that when they place a child in a borne a
careful investigation was made before it was
placed there and that it ill be jealously
looked after. Hereafter all children will ba
placed in their care for disposal.
Eiioiots.sEavicia.
During the year there was held regular
religious services at the, Home by the Chap
lain and several times by Rer- Djmer; tdso,
services held at each funeral. We fear the
lea! and eSort of .various missionary socie
ties in foreign lands have so occupied their
minds that they have entirely forgotten there
are many at the Home who are '-hungering
and thirsty for the bread of lit-." It is a la
men table fact that a great majority of the in
mates of the various Homes in the State have
never beard the " old, old story" and know
not Christ.

The Conductor Cot Even.
In the parlor car Bat a richly dressed
young woman, tenderly holding a very
small poodle.
"Madame," said the conductor, as he
punched her ticket, "I am very sorry,
but you can't have your dog in this car."
"I shall hold hi in in my lap all the
way," she replied, "and he will disturb
no one."
"That makes no difference," said the
conductor. "I couldn't allow my own
do here. Dogs must ride in the bagg5
cir. I'll fasten him all right for you."
"Don't you touch my dog sir," said
the young woman, excitedly. "I will
tru-it hi in to no one." And with indig
nant tread she marched to the baggage
car, tid her dog and returned. About
fifty miles further on, when the conduc
tor came along again, she asked him :
"Will you tell me if my dog is all rightr
"I am very sorry," said the conductor
politely, "out you tied him to a trunk
and be was thrown off with it at the las
station." Pitfrhtmj Tims.

they always stand for something.
It is prob-thly the number of tars on
board which makes a vessel pitch.
Crows have one t irtoe at least. They
are devotedly attached to their own cawp.

It is to Yoin Interest
' TO BUY YOUR

-OF
J. H. SHYDER.
XOC-OB TO
Biesecker k Snyder.
None bat the purest and beat kept in stock,
and when Drags become inert by stand
ing, as certain of tbem do, we de
stroy them, rather than im
pose on oar customers.
Yoa can depend on having yoar
PRESCRIPTIONS & FAMILY REEIPTS
filled with care. Oar prices are as low as
any other first-class house and on
many articles mnch lower.
Tbe people of this county seem to know
this, and have given us a large share of their
patronage, and we shall still oontinue to give
them the very best goods for their money.
Do not forget that we make a specialty of
FITTING- TRUSSES.
We guarantee satisfaction, and, if yon have
bad trouble in this direction,
give as a calL
SPECTACLES AND EYE-CLASSES
in great variety ; A full set of Test Lenses.
Come in and have your eyes examined. No
charge for examination, and we are confident
we can suit yoa. Come and see as.
Respectful v,
JOHN N. SNYDER.
