Ail of which is respectfully submitted and certified this 3:h day of December, IS: C. Attwt: WILLIAM DICKEY, L.C.C!born ! JoEPH L. MILLER, Clerk, f JOSIAIf P.WENiLE, J Directors of the Poor. In prem-nting to your Honorable Court, the (irand jury, and citizens of Somerset County this, the -TJ Annual Report of the IIo:ne fur the Poor, it is with feelings of pratitudeto "Ilia m ho doeth all things Weil," for the peace and prosperity of the Home, and the fact that neither calatuit in any firm or contagious dis eases were visited upon the inmates. We are mindful of the important duties weowetothe public and are charged with tbe performance of a high public funct ion and trust. We are also mindful that these duties are to be performed to the interests of the public, economically, but not parsimoniously, faithfully and pru dently, but not forgetful or the purposes for w hich the system we represent was created. Our chief care is towards the unfortu nates committed to our charge. It should be dune, o-t grudgingly, but cheerfully tnd liberally. Certainly all humane and right-minded men w ant the poor of our community well taken care of and above all humanly treated. Poverty which brings to the Poor House, is sometimes the result of crime and ill-spent life. It is always a misfortune, and while the subjects themselves are sometimes to be blamed, they are always to be pitied. The aged, the sick, the imbecile, the Lelpless, whatever the cause of their con dition, should be humanly cared for, this can only be done by the selection of proper persons to have charge of them; not only skillful and thrifty managers and good farmers, but also men and wo men of gentle manners and kindly hearts. During the past year, beinc Columbia year all the nations of the earth were gath ered on our hospitable shores, and tbe glories that blazed around our fret! insti tutions elicited the applause, admiration and wonder of the civilized world, and w ill 1 recorded in history as one of the nicst notable anniversaries and events the world has ever w itnessed. We are proud of our institutions and boast of the great and grand provisions of our laws for all classes and conditions of men, we love our free institutions for their inesti mable value, and for the rich fruits of liberty, security and prosperity which they dispense over the whole country; we love them yet more for the glorious men who moulded them into strf ngth and beauty and through many years of hard fought battles in field and Senate, exerted every nerve of body and ail of the energies of their great minds, at the expense of ease and fortune and at the jril of their lives to sustain and defend tiiem. As we venerate those men on ac couut of their rich inheritance they have transmitted to us, so we venerate the in heritance more highly on account of the iilustrious donors. Their wisdom, elo quence and virtue, still survive them and prove a rich legacy to their posterity. The people of our county feel proud of the provisions that have been made for the poor and take a great interest in the welhireof the Home. But while we be lieve Uiat a large majority of the citizens of the county uphold and approve the liborsof the directors in the management of the Home and care of the poor, there is in the minds of s-ome a suspicion felt towards the management of this institu tion. The extent of their walls and the tii.vbteriee they hold in the common im agination, the sensational and extra va grant stories, scandals and falsehoods, w Licit disappointed applicants for posi tion an 1 discharged inmates are so apt to otter, are often taken np anl repeat ed bv too anxious persons who are ready and willing to stir np strife without as ertaining or stopping to inquire of the truth of tbe same. are aware that the management i out altogether perfect, but have striven in the exerciee of our best judgment to do like best for those in our charge and the management of the Home and in the performance of oar duties. We return our thanks to the citizens who have visited the Horn and encour-af-wd ns by their counsel and advice in our labors ; and we take this opportoni ty to invito all persons interested in the welfare of tha Home to visit it and make such suggestions that would be for the oouuaon benefit ofa!!, and earnestly hope hat this report may be accepted with tl.e same generous feeling that our for mer tr ports have received. Never in the Ltxtory of the House of EaijAoj-meDt of Somerset County have the batwUngs and premises presen'ed as fine an appearance as they d at present, and we believe tbe main building, which was built 55 y-rara ago, is in better condi tion and repair thaw it was six months after its erection. The new insane build iug is a comfort to those confined there in and reflects credit on those who had the atme erected and to the County. The Jarr frame white building, occupied ly maloai, is in good repair although weew auitaU for the purposes for whieh it was bai't, aa although built only ten years ago, it wiU oon have to be re IUced by another, at it is hoped that hen this is done it will U a building more permanent, substantial and suita ble. All of the outbuildings are in good order, convenient, permanent and cred itable. FARM. hefarra is wt becaming the model farm of the Coanty ; it is in a fine state of cultivation and produces well, and is evidenced by the overflowing barn and graneriea. A statement of the products raised and produced is hereto appended and certified by the Steward. ST'X K. The stock on the farm is in fine condi tion. During the year a fine horse was purchased, which enabled ns to turnout three teams, which with a farm of Ssl' acres, is required in order to cultivate it as it should oe. Some of the cows horn ed rattle and sheep have been on the farm for years, and it has been thought wise to change the same, which will be done shortly. All the beef, pork, and lard necessary for consumption for the winter has been raised, and most of the butter and milk that was consumed at the Home during the year. WPEOvEvevrs. The improvement made during the year are looked upon by the public as needed, wise, and a judicious expendi ture of monev. The steam heater placed in the Home is a comfort that can not be estimated or appreciated except by a visit to the Home. All of the buildings are heated by it. ELECTRIC ItGBT. Much has been said in regard to plac ing electric light in the building and some criticism has been made as to the wisdom of so doing. No one can appre ciate the great blessing to the poor and unfortunate ones at the Poor Ilouse the electric light affords who has not been there. Go and inquire of the inmates, and they will tell too "Use away all other comforts, reduce the portion of CxkI given us, but let us have the light." The cost of the light is but three cents to each of the taxable of the county to maintain it. Tbe fact alone the terror of fire from damps and fear of burning from stoves-have been entirely removed ought to be consideration enough for all progressive and fair-mined citizen to heartily approve this measure. The Grand Jury on their visitation having endorsed and commended the Directors on the exercise of tneir good judgment and mont heartily approved the same. THE WKI.L. The drilled well and the air motor erected furnished all the water needed and used in the buildings and on the fiirm for all purposes. This has been the first winter for many years that the water used on the farm had not to be hauled and the stock driven away for water. We have placed new bath tubs and water closets in tbe main building with hot and cold water connection which were ordered and directed by the Grand Jury and Board of Public Charities these im provements w ere all badly needed, are permanent and are ereatly appreciated by the inmates and all of the public who Lave examined them. The improve ments made the past few years were necessary and had to be made, which has increased the expense of maintain ing the home ; but now that they are made all will feel proud of them and hereafter the expense will be materially reduced. INMATES. There was an average of 82 inmates in the Home during the year; they were all well housed, clothed, fed and cared for, and all seem grateful to the citizens of the county for the provisions the law made for tnetn. PEATHS. There were 9 deaths at the Home dur ing the year, all of whom ''coineth to their grave in full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in his season." KEUOIOl? BEKVU-ES. Religious services were held once each month by Rev.F. P. Saylor, who, also, ' oiIciated at each funeral. While these services were greatly appreciated and comforted many in their distress, yet be ing within a gun shot of Somerset, a town of churches and missionary societies, standing upon the hill, we have, like the man appearing in a vision to Paul, "reckoned him to come over in Masce donia and help us, but no one cometh." ( niLDHEX. In no event where children were com mitted to the Home, and were sound in body and mind, were they permitted to remain in the Home over the time speci fied by law. Since the organization of the Childrens Aid Society they have been of great service in aiding as to secure good homes for the children, an 1 in the future it is hoped that the entire control of them may be placed in their hands, as we recognize women to be the true guar dians of the children, and as the mother with all her love and sympathy is tbe queen of the household, so are they most naturally endowed with those refined sensibilities and culture that peculiarly fit them for the care and management of the homeless, abandoned and poor chil dren, and in the work in which they are engaged. OCT IKKR BELIEF. The usual amount of out door relief was issued and as tbe winter advances with money and labor more scarce the demand for relief is greater w e w ill be compelled to grant the relief needed This has always been one of the trouble some questions before the Directors, and while we are willing to aid all who need relief there are times that relief is granted that it is not charity to give. INSANE. All of the insane that have been com mitted to the Directors care hae been examined and w here it was found that they could be benefited they were re moved to the hospital for treatment, and we are rejoiced to know that four out of the number sent to Dixmont Hoepital during tbe year bare been restored to their reason and returned to their homes and friends. Truly this daas of persons should have oar greatest cars and sym pathy. In closing this oar report, we, the Di rectors holding over, desire to express our thanks in behalf of Mr. William Dickey, the retiring Director, for his faith ful and conscientious services tendered. He was always interested in tbe welfare of the Home, honest, capable, and whose only desire was to advance its interests. liiiL'h credit is also due to the Steward and the efficient Matron for their untir ing energy aud labors to keep the same opto tbe standard it has achieved, and caring for an 1 looking after the comfort of the inmates.

Inl37Gthe Association of the Direct ors of the Poor was organized and has met annually since in some place desig nated by the Association. It is composed of representatives of all the charitable institutions of the State, including the Roard of Public Charities, Board of Luna cy and Children' Aid Society. The ob ject of the Association is tbe investigating and considering all questions concerning panperusm and dependency, to devise means for the prevention of the same, to STjggeat legislation, to establish a person al acquaintance between the Directors of the Poor of the several districts, Board of Public Charities, Committee on Lunacy, and compare the different systems of management. The good that this Asso ciation has accomplished can not be esti mated. Tbe entire Poor House manage ment throughout the State has been very much improved and advanced, and much if not all of this can be attributed to tbe meetings and friendly comparisons be tween the various olllcials throughout the State, besides it has been the moans of securing legislation which otherwise could not be attained. Tbe act prohibit ing the detention of children in poor houses over two years of age was an ad vanced step taken by the legislature. Legislation secured reducing the main tenance and treatment of patients in the State If ospitls from (.150 to $1.75 per week was a measure that effects all copn- titts. Instead of keeping from t)fty to sixty children at the Vaar Ilouse, educa ting them to be paupers and dependents at a great i pens thy are plao4outin gocd homes, receive a liberal education. and many of whom make good and use ful members of society. Instead of keep ing tbe insane at the Poor Ilouse some bound in chains and confined to dark and dreary cells as was the case at ocr Home but a few years ago they are re moved to hospitals where they have the benefit of the hospitable care and treat' ment Many other good and wholesome laws were enacted; all of which have been the direct rwralt of work done by the Association. The effect has been far reaching and satisfactory. The reduction in expenses to the poor districts has been more each year than has been incurred from holding all the meetings of the As sociation. We have been greatly bene fited by this Association and it has been the means of enabling us to perform our duties with more economy and with bet ter aitiafaction both to the unfortunate poor and to the County. "In much counsel tbeir is wisdom," and we see the truth of this in holding of our Teachers' and Farmers' Institutes and other simi lar associations which are productive of great good. 2S February, 1SW, filed.

Iloffner, for two Years nianaper of the Socicte Commcrciale, which owns larp'e stores on the Marquesas and Dominique islands, lately arrived here, saya the !San Francisco Chronicle. Every two or three months Mr. Iloff ner was in the habit oferui.sinir in a boat around these islands, makinrr nu merous landings- 'i'.i'.s Uas mads him excecding-ly familiar w ith the inlands and their inhabitants. lie says, that the natives aro dying; oiT very rapidly by reason of the use of opiuin and that in a short time there will be none left. The past year has made fearful inroads on them. "The deaths have been so frequent,' fsaid Mr. Iloffner, '"that lately the French government has been uoinjr all it could to suppress the opium habit, but with meapre sueces It hinders it in some ways, but in the main it is carried on as before. The French government introduced opium into the islands atiout twenty years aro, and now a vain effort is being; made to stamp out t!ie evil. It is, however, too late to remedy the wronjr. "The natives are dyinff off like flies. In ten years, if the present rate of mortality keeps np, there will not be one of them left. The last few years have been especially Revere aud made terrible inroads on the population. Where the natives cannot tfet opiuin to satisfy their craving's, they substi tute a brundy obtained from the co cocoanut tree.whichiseven worse than the product of the poppy juice. The liquor is nothinjf, in fact, but tho nat ural sap of the coeoanut tree. Th? is landers bore holes in the tree, and the sap almost immediately tegius to run. This process kills the tree, but they do not care for that. The liquor is stronger than opium, and I have seen the poor native drunk on it and lyinf? about like dead men for three or four days. "They do not smoke the opium, but eat it, and in enormous quantities. They eat so much of it and have such abnormal craviDjrs for it to the exclu sion of almost every other desire, that they do not buy the amount of general merchandise they ordinarily would. As a result, business is bad in the islands. Trade), outside of opium, has fallen off a great deal, and the people seem to hare lost the energy and desire to ad vance that they once had. It is so quiet there now that I think I shall return to Chili, where I was before, When the native population Is wiped out altogether, as now seems to be its fate, the islands will be an excellent field for emigration. I am not snre that at present the French government would encourage immigration." Mr. iloffner says there are now very few Americans on the islands. AMERICAN SHIPS CROWDED OUT. trait Carried from Cuba to New York by European Vessels Entirely. A large fleet of smuli steamers, prin cipally of English build, and sailing nnderhc Norwegian flap, have worked a revolution in the Cuban fruit trade at New York, says the Tribune. Only a few years opo American schooners, small, graceful craft, went down to Ilaracoa, Ciibarn and other ports, load ed with anything1 which would pay freight rate; and usually in alwmt 0 month or five weeks they would com? backs wjtli holds full pf bananas 0 oranpes or pineapples. With the de lays incident to all sailing craft, it was no uncommon circumstance for them to land their perishable carpoes In a more or less dainayed condition, and "wind and weather permitting" was a qualification to an afrreenieut respect ing delivery. While the passing of the schooner may be regretted, it is a fact that the service is greatly improved, and the business has Increased enor mously; and this state of affairs would be an nnmixed blessinjr were it not that foreign capital and labor have reaped a larpe part of the reward. The little steamers are run at small ex pense, the ship's company making wapes on whieh American seamen could not support their families. They will make a round trip in fifteen oi eighteen days, and deliver their car goes in good order. The fruit can be picked much riper than before, as it it reasonably snre that it will be deliv ered in New York in a week; and as it is landed direct into the cars on floats alongside the steamer, it is for sale in inland pities in less than half the time formerly required to reaoh port. The quickness with which one of these steamers will pet out of port after arriving; here Is a constant sur prise. It is not an uncommon occur rence when the "rush" season Is on fot one to come sneaking np New York bay with the first sipn of daylight and warp in at her pier. On come the hatches and the top layer of hay is pitched out; this has prevented thi fruit from lieinp bruised by the pitch ing and rollinp of the steamer. The handlers" begin their work of lifting out the fruit. Meanwhile, the captain has had his breakfasL lie poes ashore, tho vessel's manifest s pnteroil and sbu hi "idearvd" fr hrr return.

GAVE THEU GOLD .MINES. A-ustroiia's "Method of Carina for Hor Unemployed. A Ez Deri neat T hat I" rowed to Urn a Crrat Careeaa in ProTldtns for fuor TeopI Who YVera Entirely Deatltut. An odd means of helpinp the unem ployed was devised by the povcrnment of Victoria during- last winter, when trade was duller and distress more acute and general tlian in very many years past. It consisted, says a cor respondent of the Jew orlc !un, in actually prusentinp gold mines to tbe unemployed workmen. Not only this. but transportation to the mines was furnished, and also tools to work it and provisions to last until it began to pan out. There are scattereU ttiroupn the colony auriferous gullies and streams aud old dipfinps that have been worked out, so far as adequate commercial returns are concerned, but which may yet be made to yild a liv ing to any one who will seek hard for it- The living- is not pood cnouph to attract gold seekers in pood times, but at a time like the past winter, when thousands of unemployed men, with dependent and destitute families, walked the streets of Melbourne, glad to pet even crusts and crumbs, such living as the old dippings afford was one to be foupht for. Tlse reason why men did not set out to obtain this liv inp was, of ctturse, lecause capital was needed to reach the dippinps and to work them. The department of mines send experts o the old mininp regions to ascertain where there would be most likelihood of the unemployed workmen getting enough gold to afford a livlnp. Some repious that would have yielded fair returns to experi enced miners were unsuited for the en deavors of tbe promiscuous workers. willing but uuskilled, who were sub sisting on charity in Melbourne. To To some of the better of these repions parties of unemployed were sent in charpe of one or two experienced miners, liut many places were found w here unskilled men might pet enough pold from the creeks and rivers to af ford what would be to them, under the circumstances, a pood living. About three thousand men were sent out by the povernment to these old dippinps during the winter and most of them were accompanied by their families. Free railway passes were provided to the station nearest the place where they were to prospect. and. where possible, further transpor tation was also furnished. On arriv ing at the dippinps thirty shillings were given to each man for the pur chase of provisions and supplies and also a few simple tools. Experienced miners were on hand to show them how to pet to work, and remained in the region so long as necessary. Twenty to fifty and a hundred families were located in some of the diggings. Most of the districts selected for these settlements were along strVams and here was generally found land suitable for raising fruits and vegetables. The experiment proved a success. Almost all the people thus sent out have been making a fair living. Some have had to work hani with little returns and have needed assistance from the gov ernment, but the great majority have done really welL Some of the men have made an average of from twenty to thirty shillings a week all the time they have been at the diggings, which was sufficient to maintain their fami lies Incomfortablecircumstances. Few there are who have not beeu able to make at least a livelihood. Some re turned to Melbourne and other cities to take up their old lines 0 work, but a great many are remainingat the dig gings, satisfied with their present con dition, and doubtless in many cases hoping to strike a rich patch. The government also sett let! about eighteen hundred men. most of them with families, on government land, under the provisions of an act recently passed for the formation of village settlements and homestead associa tions and communities. Thirty-five such settlements were plotted out aud unemployed men with their families placed on them, with the means of commencing to obtain a liveluiooit fsom the products of the soiL The plan of most of these settlements was that of a cooperative company, and great care was exercised to apportion the unemployed among the thirty-five settlements so that their individual capabilities might be of the best advan tage for the common pood. The plan was something similar to that of the Ilirsch settlements of exiled Russian Jews in Argentina.. All these commu nities are reported to be doing well. and in but few instances have settlers deserted them. The winter climate in Victoria is, of course, very mild, and in July, the coldest month, it is a rare thing for the temperature to fall to freezing. Employment was also found for some fifteen hundred of Melbourne's unem ployed during the winter by the de partment of railways and the depart ment of public works. Altogether, though times were duller and distress more general and acute during last winter than in many years, it was in no way so apparent on the surface aa in much better years. There were few processions of Idle men through the city streets and few demonstrations of the unemployed, such as attracted uni versal attention to Australia the pre vious winter. The Czar Doable. The emperor of Russia- had up to a short time ago a double in the person f a hanker of the name of Carlsben in Copenhagen. Carlsben was introduced some time ago to the czar, who himself remarked the extraordinary likeness. This proved unfortunate for the banker, who henceforth drove in a car riage and four, and was only too pleased when he was taken for the em peror of all the Eussias. As a result Carlsben went insane on the subject and recently died in a madhouse in the firm faith that he was the czar. A Ktrmnge friendship. There is a peculiar case of infatua tion between a rooster and two cats to be witnessed at Alton, I1L They alt belong to the keeper of a livery stable. and for some time the rooster, whoh is a large fowl of the Shanghai bre-4. was afraid of the cats. Hat a friendly feeling; oj-evy to, exist between them and this finally ripened Into a case of Jove. They are Inseparable. The rooster will conduct himself just as he would if escorting two hens about. He will find a worm or grain of corn. call the cats and then eat it himself as naturally as though he had never asso ciated with anything but cats. The felines, on the other hand, will follow him around, roll over and play with him, share their mice with him, and in every possible way demonstrate that his affection is reciprocated. The rooster sleeps on the elge of a feed- box and the cats rest together In the. box. the strange friendship has .V- isted for some time past ut exhibits no signs p fihatmeuV Tha Monjik Csar. Alexander III. seems determined to tive up to his sobriquet of "the moujik czar." He has just affixed his signa ture to a project of law now being elaborated by the council of the em pire, which is destined to render in alienable the landed allotments of tha peasants. The object of this measure Is, of course, to prevent the seizure of the land for debt by the monev lenders, whom he- regards as the principal cause of the present distress u.rj,i agricultural SeprvsKloa in his dominions. . For the peasants, when once deprived of their Lvnds, lose every interest in the wel fare of their "mir,"or community, and drift away to the towns and cities in earvh of work, where they help to well the ranks of the unemployed, who constitute a permanent source oi imbarraasment to the authorities.
